hard to deny this was a surprisingly rotten day, with a surprisingly rotten development.  The way I figure it, Hamas has billions of dollars and months of supplies – no matter what they withhold from the people of Gaza, and they can wait us out.  The hostages can’t.  So we’ve sacrificed soldiers and other young men for nothing with our bombing of Gaza.  And we’ve got the Houtis bombing us again.  And I’m sleeping in my clothes again.  For nothing.

Maybe that’s why I can’t do much today – I keep switching back to the news and then spend an hour playing solitaire. 

Maybe we can pull a revolution off.
