But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope

Carl Levin has a combover...and something about the war



Can you look at the back of that noggin and honestly tell me that hair is not all from the left side of his head? I didn't think so. But I digress.

As I write this, Congress is within hours of voting on whether or not to pull troops from Iraq. So you may think "Hell yeah, let's get our boys out of there!" Well, it is not that simple. Here's why: There is no way this will pass. The Republicans have a majority and will vote this down. So why even vote? If you are a Democrat, what do you do? Vote yes and when elections come you get harassed for not supporting the troops. Vote no and you are supporting Bush. Although anybody with some political awareness will see right through this at election time, most people in this country have their political heads up their political asses. This is the same thing that Republicans did with the Same-sex marriage initiative. So don't get your hopes up that this will get us out of the war and ask yourself why politicians are such assholes.
