hawks, hookers, housing and other hassles
Onto the right day again, and determined to see it though.
The danger period for me is after nine o’clock at night. That’s when I need to do night classes, go to the gym, visit friends, take long walks, go to the cinema, the pub, write in cafés, anything. And yet yesterday was a record pedo day.
Watched ‘Rumsfeld’s War’, was largely appalled at the fellow’s bustling presumptuousness. From the start he’s been a highly motivated hawk in an administration that invaded Iraq under false pretences, on the pretext that it possessed weapons of mass destruction which threatened to harm America and the world. It behaved with extreme aggression and intimidation towards UN weapons inspectors who were telling a story which has turned out to be far more accurate than that told by US ‘intelligence’. When their pretext for war-mongering was undermined by the facts on the ground after the invasion, they shamelessly rejigged the story as one of liberation of the Iraqi people. Murderous humbuggery, even taking into account the repulsiveness of Saddam’s regime, for we all know of regimes that profoundly oppress their own people, regimes that won’t be visited by US ‘wrath’, either because it would be too messy and hazardous, or because it isn’t sufficiently beneficial to US economic interests to do so. Considering Rumsfeld’s approval of harsher interrogation methods and the disregarding of the Geneva convention for all those people languishing in American and Iraqi prisons without charges being preferred against them (and a percentage of whom are surely innocent of any wrong-doing), any claims made by this administration about the upholding of human rights should be treated with the contempt that it deserves.
Have handed over the role of La Luna Tenancy Officer, and should now be able to concentrate more on Treasury matters, though there are some loose ends to tie up, particularly in regard to Jenna and her Father’s tenancy at Young Avenue, but I won’t clog the blog with this stuff, from now on La Luna matters will be limited to another unblogged journal.
A drizzly day, little opportunity for gardening, but yesterday did a great deal towards making Sarah’s essential lawn path presentable, and that has made a huge difference. With John and Debra visiting the other day, we did a whirlwind transformation of Sarah’s living room, and all these things have made her more positive about staying put, but...
