I've got to work on some songs today, so unless something goes horribly wrong I'll be doing that instead of blogging. But it's not really needed, since John Stewart has said, succintly, perfectly, what always takes me pages and pages and pages to (sort of) get across:
No matter what side of the political spectrum you're on, if you are incapable of feeling at least a tiny amount of joy at watching ordinary Iraqis celebrate this, you are lost to the ideological left. And let me also add, if you are incapable of feeling badly that we even had to use force in the first place, you are ideologically lost to the right. And I would inform both of those groups to leave the room now and do not watch the program. It's like ice-skating: We throw out the high score and the low score. The rest of the people, you're welcome at the table.
