WoT is the Democrats' problem
Michelle gives me a hard time for voting almost exclusively Republican yet refusing to label myself one. Technically, I'm right; I'm "Unenrolled", and will remain so for the foreseeable future (primarily because I don't want to get onto anyone's mailing list, e- or snail or otherwise). But I see myself turning into a one-issue voter by the time 2008 rolls around, and to hear Jeff Jacoby tell it (not that I had to), the Republicans are the ones who are serious about homeland security and who know how important it is for us to fight—and win—the war on terror.

To be honest Matt--I've become almost apathetic relative to this issue of fighting terror. I'm to the point where I think we shouldn't lose any more lives to this cause that we are not prepared to win. We're losing lives while swatting at gnats.
Until we start using DDT, I just don't see the point. Fighting on their level only reduces our street cred. In a sense, I almost wish that we’d just hurry up the process, get hit a few times in quick succession, so the American public will get real and grow a pair. I’ll even join when we get serious. I’ve got no qualms plugging Achmed with a few rounds of led. Moral relativism isn’t a problem of mine.
Hey--can you ask your intelligent, lovely and gracious wife if the fact that I've not been able to sleep at night since sometime during my PhD trials and tribs is secondary to PSD? And ask her what I need to do to get rid of it. I'll even talk about my feelings or whatever. Blame it on my mom. To date--I'm managing the problem by listening to bad podcasts at night, to occupy the mouse in the wheel (mind). But I'm getting tired of waking up with my bud-earphones all wrapped around my neck and stuff at 3:00 am.
