OK ... I usually don't post about political things ... but I read something that I thought was amusing today. As you may know ... the senate voted to essentially bring the troops home today ... 50-48 ... with almost all the voting going down across party lines. Two Republicans voted for the bill, including one from Oregon. I am glad that I live in a hippy state where our representatives are not afraid to think for themselves. Our state is largely against the war -- Portland recently passed a motion condemning war against Iran (this first such motion in the country) -- and I am glad that our representatives care more about representing the people than mindlessly doing as they are told.
