War of the Monsters

I dreamt last night that we were fighting a war against very large aliens or monsters. I was given a rocket launcher, and each morning I would be assigned a place to defend. Mostly, it was boring because nothing happened. I felt bad because I would slink away and watch baseball on TV. It was really tough, too, because I was supposed to defend the buildings and the people, but my rocket could easily miss the target and end up killing innocent people or destroying a building. There would be such long periods of nothing happening that when a monster did wander near us, there would be nothing but chaos--people shooting at it, it running around afraid for its life.

As a side note, today's paper had not one, but two, articles about famous American billionaires decrying George Bush's policies. First, George Soros criticized his warmongering, saying that America should be more dedicated to creating democracy around the world than it is to dominating the world financially. He also said that given our recent history in Afganistan, our claim of invading Iraq for the sake of establishing a democracy is "a sham," and the rest of the world knows it.

The business section reported that Warren Buffet met with congressional democrats and told them that Bush's proposed tax cut on dividends would unfairly benefit the rich. He said that currently he and his secretary pay the same proportion of their earnings in taxes, but this tax cut would cut his proportion to "a fraction of hers."

Boy, you know you're on the wrong track as a Republican when big-wheel billionaires come out against you. My new slogan:

Dubya is an idjit
