Harvest moon over the House

I am watching the debate in the House over immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

The Republicans have made it an issue of supporting the troops.

I see a large harvest moon through the window.

Somebody is on the C-Span call-in segment saying that she does not want terrorists in the U. S. streets. I agree. Traffic is bad enough as it is.

I drink a diet 7-up. I look at the moon.

I wonder what it be like if at the end of tonight’s proceedings, it was resolved to withdraw troops from Iraq.

I look at the moon. I really am drinking diet 7-up. I’m stone cold sober. I drift and dream too.

I wonder if President Bush ever imagined a day like today before he decided to go to war.
