Guten Morgen

I awoke this morning tired. I have not slept well in the last couple of nights. So I turned on the TV (which always defaults back to the Hotel channel and sets the volume to fucking loud). On it was our president doing his speaking thing. There are a couple of things that I found interesting. First was his continuous comparison of the 'war on terror' to the 'cold war'... this is probably the one thing in the whole speech I would not argue with him on. Nothing like fighting a concept. Though, I am pretty sure that intimidation and threats is not the best way to get someone to agree with you (I guess that comment can go for Bush and the 'terrorists').

The other thing I noticed is that he would often cough to stop the smirk he'd get when he was applauded. It makes me feel that he is either an egomaniac or lying to me. It makes me feel uncomfortable that someone like that has so much say in what happens around me.

I have a bunch more to say about a bunch more things, but there are things to do, people to see, e&c.
