Good Stuff. Monte is great, and he's named for a character from the Simpsons.

Comment to Durk Niblick's post
yeah, the war in iraq.
It's sad to me that everything becomes politicized. All people seem to be capable of doing is dividing into us and them, and loving us no matter what and vilifying them no matter what. So, the war has become the Republican's thing, so Liberals (such as NPR) are required to hate it, vilify it, mock it, dismiss it, etc.
it was the wrong time
it was the wrong way
it was unwise
but, at some level, it was still the right thing to do
Is what we're accomplishing worth the price? I don't think so, and I didn't think it would be before we invaded. But, about the first time I got called names around a lunch-table for expressing my concerns, I shut up.
Bottom line, this war is my fault and the fault of people like me. People who knew better, but still allowed ourselves to be intimidated by people who were too overwhelmed with patriotic fervor to think clearly.
I'm the bad guy here. I owe the troops and apology for not doing more to keep them out of this mess.
