A Remembrance of Amnesia.

[tablesaw]

I feel horribly behind on my journaling, mostly because I've been rather busy since work yesterday. Since I haven't the time to dedicate to a decent post about my life, I'll talk a bit about politics.

I was listening to Le Show on Sunday, which confirmed something I'd been wondering since Dubya's UN speech, namely that the current administration is, in fact, condemning Iraq for its invasion of Iran. Further, it does so despite the fact that the United States was encouraging Iraq to invade, helped them invade by giving them weapons and intelligence, then continued to give Iraq weapons and intelligence. Why hasn't anyone been saying this recently? Why hasn't the White House at least attempted to reconcile this hypocrisy? If we're responsible for for giving Iraq the knowledge to start its weapons program way-back-when, why don't we just, as Shearer tongue-in-cheekily put it, "Invade us for helping the Bad Guys? We wouldn't even have to worry about moving troops!"

I guess everyone will forget again as long as Ashcroft can promenade some new alleged Al-Qaida members.

In an unrelated note- did you ever actually get to go see Juana Molina or were you still too sick to go? I'm really curious to know what she is actually like and what the rest of her recorded music sounds like. You made me pull out my Starmaps soundtrack when you posted about her. Now I've have it stuck in my head for a week. Argh!

No, I was still catching up on sleep and huddling in my warm bed before going to work. Ms. Molina will have to wait for another time.

Also, is this spacebanana again?

Nope, not spacebanana. I don't have a LJ account, that's the cause of the anonymous.

Care to reveal yourself, then?

A Clue for you Mr. Super-Fast Response

[(Anonymous)]

I'd love to, but not in such a public format. So, I'll give you clues so that you can draw your own conclusion rather than coming right out and saying it.
Let's see...
My Starmaps copy is really a promotional copy. It came from a former mutual friend of ours who originally hales from CT, but you never visited him there. But the first copy of Starmaps that I ever heard was borrowed from a college radio station. You were there.
There, that should help you but not everyone else out there.
I hope you don't mind that I posted a comment. I just had to know.
Oh, and I currently can't seem to access the email account that you have for me, so let me know if you need my new one. I'll get it to you somehow.

I'm not sure what email address I have, but I'll check. I also left a message on your journal (but I deleted your link to it in this thread, since I thought that might be personal information that you wouldn't want all of my journal readers finding).

As I said, it's fine to read and comment, and it's good to know you're around.

Thank you. I appreciate that.
