In New York, my fair city, two auxiliary police officers were killed and now the City will spend over $3 million to equip every auxiliary cop with bullet proof vests.
Two.
How many were dead in Iraq before BushCo started getting body armor to the men and women fighting in the "central front of the defining challenge of our generation"? Do they even have it now?
What happens when the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says homosexuality is immoral and should not be accepted? It encourages our Army recruiters to write to people like this:
YOU GO BACK TO AFRICA AND DO YOUR GAY VOODOO LIMBO TANGO AND WANGO DANCE AND JUMP AROUND AND PRANCE AND RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE HALF NAKED THERE AND PRACTICE YOUR GAY MORALS OVER THERE THAT'S WHERE YOU BELONG.*breath*
YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR SPELLING SO ARE THE ONE WHO SO ILLITERATE. OBVIOUSLY YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IF YOU ARE GAY YOU ARE OUT OF THE MILITARY YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED. SO WHATS THE BIG ISSUE HERE. YOU ARE UPSET YOU DO NOT QUALIFY.*breath*
ANYWAYS I WONT HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN SINCE YOU ARE BLOCKED. SO BYEFunny thing about the devil. Sometimes he gives you immoral choices like choosing to love another human being, and sometimes he gives you the option of sending racist, homophobic emails on the government's dime. Cagey fella, that one.
ADOIS
GOODBYE
Breaking news, people. A House Judiciary subcommittee just approved subpoenas for Rove, Miers, and Kyle Sampson. Bush had previously said that he will not acknowledge the subpoenas, in other words, placing himself and his friends above the law. He’s sure to fight for his right to lie (seeing as how he was willing to “talk” just not under oath, sounds to me like they want to lie, right?) so there’s a sure-fire constitutional battle rearing its ugly head. How far is Bush willing to go to maintain a complete lack of transparency and accountability in the White House?
We shall soon see.
If you had any doubt as to who won the cold war, check out Russia’s entry into this year’s Eurovision contest.
I disagree with their tactics, but you gotta admit that the Islamic Fundamentalists have a point when they say that American culture spreads like a disease and infects everything it touches.
That said, this song may not be Radiohead, but it still beats Gorky Park.
A strange thing is happening in the nation this week. Strange indeed. About a month ago, I wrote about how Bush was up to his old dirty tricks. Same old dirty tricks, just a different tactic. When I wrote about it, it was from the abused child point of view - there’s nothing we can do to stop it, but it makes me so angry that he can get away with this shit time after time.
The weird thing this week? He doesn’t seem to be getting away with it. Bush, Rove, and Gonzales set up this whole firing the lawyers game in an effort to achieve the permanent one-party rule Rove had been having wet dreams about for the last 20 years. And it’s blowing up in their faces. Rove is going to be getting a subpoena soon it seems. Probably others. There appears to be plenty of evidence in the form of emails and false alibis. This could end up being the big scandal we’ve been waiting for.
Probably not. But it’s fun to watch for now.
God is a black, sad sack poon-hound who likes to fuck Jews. For some reason, this doesn’t sit well with the Christian Right.
Speaking of Jews and sad sacks, Joe Lieberman (Douchebag Party - CT) whole-heartedly endorses the moneyman behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in his nomination for ambassador in exchange for a handful of magic beans and $21,000 despite not being a member of the nominating committee, enraging actual committee member John Kerry.
Speaking of poon-hounds, Newt Gingrich finally comes clean on all the whoring he was doing in his spare time during the Whitewater Witch Hunt explaining, “If I’ve learned one thing after years and years of cheating on my many wives - keep the DNA off the dress and out of the baby chute.” He went on to advise taking a shower afterwards and coming up with a detailed but pedestrian lie for the ol’ ball and chain. But not too detailed - that’s how they getcha. Newt’s book, Extra-Marital Affairs and Foreign Policy: How My Penis Ended the Cold War comes out in the fall.
Speaking of DNA, the FBI knows what you’re buying, selling, eating, drinking, and thinking. Old news. New news - the FBI’s inspector general says it’s like, way fucking illegal, man. And half the time, the FBI agents are only trolling through your thoughts and possessions for gift ideas for their kids.
Are you happy now? I said it. This doesn’t sit well with almost all of my friends, but I find them (the band, not my friends) pretentious, repetitive, and most of all boring. And trust me, I tried.
Courtesy of The Minority Whip, (who btw - did manage to get to one of the church shows), we find this hilarious short film about the new hipster gods and their to-die-for concert series in New York last month. Enjoy...
Scooter Libby was found guilty. Interesting, yes. Earth-shattering? No. As far as I’m concerned, the only thing he was found guilty of is being sloppy. Yes, he’s the highest ranking White House official to be convicted of a felony since Iran-Contra. But of the crimes perpetrated on the American public by the Bush administration, obstruction of justice is the least of them.
If Bush & Cronies, LLC. were half as good at governing as they are at covering their tracks and maintaining plausible deniability, we would have eliminated disease, poverty, hunger and terrorism about five years ago.
Incidentally, do any of you think this man will spend one night in jail? Or do you think that the appeals process will go long enough to get to Bush’s certain pardon?
