in a shocking turn of events, sunset’s softball team has won the league championship, beating first the tumbleweeds at 6:30PM and then moved on to beat the freaks at 8:50PM. there is now a first place trophy in the lobby of sunset, and all the players will recieve tshirts.
so strange how far we came from last year’s dead last position to first place… strange and gratifying.
in a change of subject, i’m getting sick of hearing about “intelligence failures” on the part of the CIA, the NSA, the various MIAs, etc. anyone who thinks intelligence gathering is simple or easy should goto any big city and try to figure out who has the largest baseball card collection when you aren’t allowed to let anyone know this is what you are trying to figure out. or goto any field of clover and try to find the only four leaf clover there when you aren’t allowed to bend over and examine the leaves up close (preferably this would be done at night, too).
intelligence is not an exact art. there are sometimes failures, yes, but mostly it is a problem of either too much information to sift through to find problems/answers, or with the information available there could be many possibilities. worse, no matter how good intelligence gathering is, sometimes there is just no way to get the data needed. NO WAY.
i guess i’m just tired of the fact that because there is not big sex scandal in the government, no creepy murder investigation, and no high drama in the entertainment industry that the news picks something, anything, to harp on. the most annoying thing about this is once one news program starts talking about it, every other one talks about it.
dear media news outlets: please shut up already. iraq is still problem. we’re still in afghanistan. liberia is screwed up as usual. bush is an idiot (we’ve known this for a long time; no more evidence is needed). SARS is horrible. democrats running for president are criticizing bush (see bush is an idiot comment). the shuttle blew up on entry. celebrities are dead.
how about some good news sometime soon? and not about the latest hollywood wedding (which will soon be a divorce and you’ll eat that up, too). i just want something that when i hear it i’ll think, “ok, that’s good. i’m happy to be alive and around for this. i’m glad there are decent people out there.”
and once you’ve said it once, SHUT UP. move on.
alright. enough ranting. goodnight.
