Good Grief, More Politics and Dreams!

Do Bush supporters ever actually listen to themselves talk? I was flipping through the radio channels last night, and I came across some right-wing talk show where a caller said she thought Bush had to be re-elected because a Democratic President wouldn't scare the terrorists. Apparently her idea is that the only reason we haven't yet had a repeat of the September 11 attacks is that the terrorists are oh-so-frightened of Bush. I really have to doubt this is the case. Really, what was so great about the way Bush handled the aftermath of that tragedy? Ignoring the Constitution? Drawing the country into an unrelated war? Or was it creating a false "you're either with us or with the terrorists" dichotomy?

On the other hand, if it's true that Al Qaeda attacked us because they hate democracy, maybe it makes sense that they wouldn't launch another attack during a Bush presidency, because he doesn't seem that fond of democracy either.

Ugh, I wasn't intending to write another political entry, but that kind of nonsense never ceases to amaze and annoy me.

On a lighter note, I sometimes have dreams that I'm hearing a version of a song done by a different band from the one I'm used to hearing play that particular song. Not so odd in and of itself, I guess, but the weird thing is, in the dream, I know that the version I'm hearing is actually the original one. The night before last, I had a dream where I heard the "original" version of They Might Be Giants' "I'm All You Can Think About." I remember having two others years ago where the songs in question were Moxy Früvous' "No No Raja" and the Young Fresh Fellows' "The New John Agar." I'm pretty sure I've had more than that, but I can't recall them just now. It's some kind of weird recurring thing.

By the way, has anyone reading this played Paper Mario? What's it like? Is it more along the lines of an RPG or an action-based game?
