Q: What is the role of the US in Iraq and Afghanistan?

A: Afghanistan will lead to further security of our economy. It is, somebody was saying this morning, a toxic waste there on Wall Street. Well, it was unfortunate. That manifestation that we saw with that invasion of Georgia shows us some steps backwards that Russia has recently taken away from the race toward a more coordinated and a much more stringent oversight regime government can play a very, very appropriate role in the oversight that has to exercise all options out there on Wall Street. That’s the reform that we’ve got to play an appropriate role in the stringent oversight, making sure that these weapons of mass destruction, that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not that he would allow terrorists to be a multi-faceted solution that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities.

Recently, at a dinner party at my mom’s for a friend of a friend, one of the guests asked me about the Republican VP nominee. Ugh. Really. It isn’t polite to bring up politics at the dinner table, but I was game. I said that I can’t understand a word she’s saying, and every time she’s on tv I cringe. It’s more likely that I find it outright embarrassing for her to be so incoherent in front of the whole nation. You could probably get a whole room of monkeys pounding away at typewriters, and they would produce a more coherent mishmash of nouns, verbs, and adjectives to form a competent thought.

How are we to take seriously this VP candidate when you know that the man who put her on the ticket is so insincere?

Oboete imasu ka me to me ga atta toki wo
Oboete imasu ka te to te ga fureatta toki
Sore wa hajimete no ai no tabidachi deshita
I LOVE YOU SO

( Do you remember? The time when our eyes first met?
Do you remember? The time when our hands first touched?
That was the very first time I set out on the journey of love.
I love you so. )

Lynn Minmei, “Ai Oboete Imasu Ka (Do you remember love)”
