No Surprises

Recent elections in Afghanistan have gone "well" according to officials who claim that the peaceful process was proof of victory over the militants. Obviously the officials aren't aware of the outcome of the elections in which a majority of the seats were won by warlords including some with connections to Al-Quaeda. I wonder how the families of fallen soldiers in America feel about that?

In an another unsurprising development the New York Times has revealed that Harriet Miers, President Bush's second pick for the Supreme Court, is an evangelical Christian. No really? Given her lack of experience and clear underqualification for the position what were you expecting as the justification for her candidacy? This guy never lets up does he? Despite the disgusting lack of achievement by this President all he seems to do is repeat the same mistakes, what is he trying to do master the art of screwing up?
