ScArrrz!

Today's post is somewhat of a discombobulated hodge podge of thoughts, that I kinda threw together last minute... If at any time you find it boring check this out. Sure to entertain.

Thank-goodness student elections are over. BYUSA says that they are " dedicated to serving the BYU student body and advising the BYU administration." Pft! They advise the BYU Admin, just as much as the Cave of Caves on the West Bank, the Hebron Museum!

Let's truthinize a bit...

What I find funny, is that neither party admits to the fact that the BYUSA does nothing of any real interest to most students. The lofty claims and over-promising perma-smiles eager to put the title "Prez" on their resume (not to mention a scholarship & stipend...) have received the decision and it's over. The accosting with fliers--which I quickly dumped in the trash--is over! I would honestly rather watch CNN re-runs of Osama videos with Krinkov waving Islamic Fundamentalists.

On a more serious note, I am glad to hear that congress is gearing up to start evaluating a withdraw from Iraq. Although I am definitely irked that it looks like it is mostly partisan vote, the House Appropriations Committee passed legislature that would send Iraq troops home by Sep. 2008. However, this doesn't mean that they are coming home, the bill still has a long way to go, before it would be final.

I have a couple thoughts on giving a definite time line for withdrawal. I am not so sure that enforcing a very definitive time line is a good thing. I personally would like to see some sort of way to start measuring progress through use of a provisional time line. By enforcing some sort of provisions and requirements that would have to be met before we would start withdrawing would be a far better solution.

It is obvious that America doesn't want an open-ended Iraq war. A time line is a good way to enforce this, but I think that making it too definite and not flexible enough for army commanders to work with is a bad decision. An even worse decision is to make no decision at all. While sounding a bit ideological, party loyalty is not an excuse for lagging to extend support to our troops.

Other Happenings this week:
月曜日に、プロボ神殿の近い丘に、スケートボートしました。丘に来たと、勾配は、険しすぎないとおもいました。でも、スケートボードしながら、急に険しくなった、それから、早すぎたに行ったから、友達は飛び降りました。「なんて女の子だ」と思ういました。それから、突然、スケートボードはいわにぶつけった。私はセメントに飛びました。頭がぶつけったから、道の中で、まごまごに起きました。友達は、手伝って帰ってくれました。今、さわんにだぼくしょうをおって、たくさんきずがあります。大変だった。
