so i think holidays suck. they should be banned or optional or something if you are paid by the hour, as i am. i mean, a holiday is supposed to be time off which you are paid for, am I right? to commemorate something or whatever, like the 4th of July or Christmas or Waitangi Day, if you live in new zealand. however, if you are paid by the hour and not allowed to work that day, then it's not a holiday, it's just a no money day. and that sucks.

in other news, our president has made a statement to Iraqi militants that if they wanted to attack us, "bring it on". i think this is about the stupidest get-tough message i've ever heard. we have had many soldiers killed by attacks, and thus obviously we can't stop them all, so please attack us some more. that makes a lot of sense. i mean obviously he, or more likely his advisors, think that if we say this it will make militants think twice before attacking us, but i think in reality it will encourage them to attack. they will just say "oh, bush says the americans are tough enough to stop attacks and is encouraging us to try? fine, let's see how tough they are." i think a much more sensible plan would be to avoid false bravado, to not mention movies about cheerleading, and to say that if you attack us, we will find you and kill you, like president bush said about that one terrorist guy, what was his name?? i forget, he's not important anyway.
