So its been another month. Lots of work, nothing in particular successful, which in and of itself is unfortunate. I think I'm suffering from a crises of confidence. I'm tired of fighting for success in my engineering career, including motivating others to work really hard, bust their ass to make almost untenable deadlines, and to make money on shoe string budgets. What's next...maybe the public sector. Seriously.

Beth is going to start her psych residency in June, which is awesome. She needs some direction in order to keep that incredible intellect focused. That will keep her happy and interested. Besides, she's so good at being a doctor, that she is going to be a very good psychiatrist.

Politically, I can't believe that things can get any wierder than they already are. But, as always, I'm being proven wrong. GW is being proven to truly be the worst president I have ever lived through, including Nixon. If true, then the act of de-classifying Valerie Plame by GW just to discredit her husband's findings of made up reasons to go to war in Iraq is absolutely unimaginable! This act is the act of a petty man that lives up to my perception of a spoiled rich kid that has had everything handed to him regardless of whether or not he deserves it. So what if it is in his executive power to declassify something as he chooses. What about all of the various people that had business with Plame's CIA front company that have also now been outed by our vindictive chief executive? How can this stand? How can people still defend this asshole as a leader or as a "christian man"?

Joe Biden may or may not have made an announcement on Bill Maher last night regarding his candidacy for the presidency. His well reasoned stance on foreign policy, environmental issues, and even his disbelief that the American people chose to believe in creationism over evolution was great. I hope he has a chance. I hope for our country's sake that we can change the direction we have gone in the past eight years.

Peace out.
