It's just a mess

Argh, the world seems full of bad news:

• Turkey wants us to help them kill the PKK
• Pakistan is now officially a dictatorship, but we can't do anything about it, because the alternative is another Iraq (ineffective government and stronger Islamic militants)
• Mukasey is getting confirmed despite his refusal to disavow waterboarding (it makes me sick to even write that)
• Hillary Clinton is being attacked for playing the "gender card" (what a joke) and the discussion just won't die
