How does this happen?

Information overload. I'm exhausted right now. I biked too far today - thank you weird construction around the 35E bridge. I spent too much time trying to fix a computer (belonging to a friend of Andrea) when I should have formatted and reinstall windoze straight away. Working on that left me distracted from the Monday Night football game and I'm not into it.

So I sit here thinking about how sick I am of defending these CBSNews memos. And thinking of the memos. I don't care that Bush didn't "serve honorably." I couldn't care less that he is not comfortable with his past and lies to cover it up. I don't care that with all the focus on the documents, everyone is ignoring all the over evidence CBS noted in its report. I don't care that what Bush did seems somewhat similar to what draft-dodging Slick Willy Clinton got blasted for.

What drives me nuts is that the people who do care about this crap, who attacked Clinton because he lacked integrity (duh, politician!) are the ones who totally ignore Bush's lies.

I'm so tired of trying to figure out why all of this happens. I'm tired of trying to think of ways to make this a more free society. I'm sick of simple solution bumper stickers. I'm tired of the same people who brag about us being the free-est nation on earth trying to ban books they don't like and (in the words of George Carlin) turn women in brood mares for the state.

Honestly though, I'm tired of reading things I disagree with, posted by people who have read more about an issue than I have. In many cases, I know they are wrong and are pushing an agenda. Incidentally, most of these types of places don't allow response comments. But I also know I work for a living and don't have time to read enough to rebut them.
