Bush in Baghdad

Posted at 9:42 AM on June 13, 2006 by Bob Collins (2 Comments)

Surprise. President Bush turned up in Baghdad today. I'm watching the pool reports via the National Journal's Hotline.

That pushes Karl Rove to page two, I guess.

I'm looking for a bounce here in the stock market, fellas, it's been a tough couple of week's for Bob's retirement plan. Let's take a look:

Down .05%

Gaaaa! I'm gonna die working.

On the reading fron, Jack Kelly at Real Clear Poliics pens an interesting column, "How we got to where we are in Iraq."

Funny how Jack Kelly never mentions the elephant in the room behind the entire Iraq war, President George W. Bush. Any account of how we got to where we are in Iraq that doesn't include the role of Bush is frankly beside the point, IMO.

Retirement, ah that crazy dream. My father worked up until the day he went into a coma from the brain tumor, my 70-year-old mother is still working in a grocery store. I suspect my fate will be similar.

Anyone who hasn't figured out that the whole work-for-a-living-and-retire thing is rigged so that the vast majority of us will drop in the traces doesn't understand the ideas behind capitalism...
