We are watching a stunning documentary by that name on MSNBC. All about the reasoning (or lack thereof) that led this country into the nine-year war in Iraq. Narrated by Rachel Maddow, it promises to be fascinating... In a monumentally sad, "I told you so" sort of way.
It's been raining here for days. The gulches are roaring and the catchment tank is spilling over. So, although weed pulling isn't optimum, I've been canning like mad. Yesterday's batch was local Rangpur lime and ginger marmalade. (Rangpur limes are orange.)

I have several Maddow specials, and they are all good.
I hope the heavy rains let up soon.
I've given up watching the news and politics. Been much happier that way.
It's great that you are getting rain there. Using the rainy time for canning is perfect! We're getting our first bit of rain of 2013 today. We need it!
The Iraq debacle seems to have been forgotten here so maybe we need a few shows like this to remind us what we got up to back then because i don't doubt that we would do exactly the same again.
JoJo, I know that living is easy with eyes closed, but the man and I are hopeless news/political junkies, and we enjoy and appreciate Rachel Maddow, John Stewart, and Stephen Colbert so much these days!
mmmmmm.... ginger in marmalade, my kinda stuff. we hit a whopping high of 44 degrees today
Tell your mommie that I will bring some to Puako in a few months, Honey! xo
We absolutely need to be reminded, Lucy.
Those responsible should be tried for treasonous war crimes!
