Listening to NPR in the car this morning, an NPR commentator (not a guest) in a soft, quiet, and clearly depressed voice talked of how "some Iraqis" are happy about his capture but the capture of Saddam will not fix the electricity supply. Will not fix the miles long gas lines. Will not this, will not that...

Was nothing but complaints and focus on negatives. Nary a single word of congratulations to our troops, or words of support for the Iraqi people.

And for those who haven't, head over to DU. It is nothing but thread after thread after thread of complete, utter, and total depression. Few, very few posters have posted words of support for the capture of Saddam. A vast majority are upset about his capture. Think he should not have been captured. And are almosted enraged at his capture. It is truly a site to see.

Normally I can lurk at DU and read things and get a good laugh. But the stuff going on there today is even beyond my strong stomachs ability.

I went there and promptly came back here. the alternate universe over there was something else. besides they scare the bejimmnies out me over there.

....head over to DU...

I have a humble suggestion: That any reference of going to DU be called "taking a DUmp."

>>head over to DU. It is nothing but thread after thread after thread of complete, utter, and total depression.

I went. Site administrator Skinner has not lost all his marbles. He rebuked one poster for suggesting that Saddam's capture was not a good thing.
