My friend Marnie has embarked on her very own Quixotic quest. Taking a leaf from the Vice-President's recent performance in the hallowed halls of Congress, Marnie has decided to ask our government "What the fuck are you doing?" Actually, she has decided to ask our senator, Barbara Boxer, "what the fuck are you doing?", specifically re: the inability of the inhabitants of said hallowed halls to get the President to, you know, stand accountable for the insane performance of the administration, particularly in reference to the war in Iraq. As the New York Times recently put it,Many politicians who voted to authorize the war still refuse to admit that they made a mistake. But they did. While Marnie is all for any of those politicians fessing up, she is really, really keen on the President doing so. So every day she writes a letter to Barbara Boxer, asking her why the fuck she is not holding W's feet to the proverbial fire. The letters go to the Senator's web address, and to Marnie's blog, titled, aptly, CrankReport. She's written seven of them so far, and she'd like you all to join in.
