Was reading the news this morning about all of these protests in Middle Eastern countries, and the first thought that came into my head was, excuse the expression: "The USA is screwed"
You know we are really dead meat when the country populace are rioting and protesting in the streets because they want a ruler ousted because they're backed by the American government. Hello terrorism support. One thing this great country has never been good at is backing dictators who are liked at the time but absolutely hated 30 years later. THEN, when they get ousted for whatever reason, we look like the bad guys because some Defense officials in the 70s were sitting around a table in a poorly lit room saying, "This guy sounds like a good guy to finance, compared to the alternatives." Psh, what a joke. The worst part is that its such a bad joke.
Anyway, on a happier note, one day (or so) away from the Cricket World Cup, where the Wifey is getting super pumped listening to India nationalistic music by the boat load. I like to watch her enthusiasm, because its how I feel when the FIFA World Cup comes around. I like her when she is so happy, so I don't mind the India song youtube marathon currently occuring in our apartment.
