With locusts still swarming in Egypt, the little prince changes his court. Well, sort of.
The "resignations" of the "moderate" and on occasion "opposing" cabinet members continue to be delivered. Their nominees for replacement have been the promotions of yes men and women from deep inside "his" counsel. In a moment that some have said resembled reagan's appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor, condoleeza "i had an chevron oil tanker named after me" rice has become the first African American woman Secretary of State nominee, but that's not all. "He" had another lady to pat on the back and smooch after her statement, the not overly qualified, newly nominated Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings. With alberto "the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to terrorists" gonzales as Attorney General, and stephen "I’ll take the bullet (sort of) for the nuCLEAR falsehood in the state of the union" hadley rounding out the echo chamber thus far, it looks like the administration is gearing up to really run rough shot, a la Faluja, over the country and Our government, pushing their agenda hard.
It's hard to watch a mortally wounded soldier being shot point blank in the head in a mosque on the other side of the world (even if it is the "enemy"). This action, though illegal, is not surprising in war. The backdrop of rumble that the liberated (whether former insurgents or not) will return to call home will not bring the flowers and sweets our 1228+ soldiers and $146,000,000,000.00+ were to purchase. What rationale is there to justify this renewed intensified fighting that is leveling the country it is liberating? How will the Iraqis feel towards the country that has destroyed their home? We can't even convince Our own former GI's that Iraq is a cause more worth fighting for than their fight to stay out of the fray all together? But why should we expect a solid strain of logic at this point? Hell, the party in control just changed the rules to allow their leaders to remain regardless of felony indictments. The "moral majority" changing the ethics rules governing their leaders for the lower is about as surprising as "conservatives" raising the national debt ceiling by another $800,000,000,000.00. Let's face it this White House takes the high road in speeches but their actions lie in dark, secret places (some of which may filled with donating "pioneers" turned presidential appointees).
This Thanksgiving don't let the turkeys get you down. Who knows, maybe we'll have an exciting player/fan brawl during the Dallas game or if that's not your bag, maybe you can pick up a bag of Afghan heroin. I hear they have plenty.
Thanks.

can't you think of a more productive use of your time?
you lost, thank God. get over it.
you and your liberal ilk are living in a dream world, and it only exists because people like W and Reagan before him have made our national security a top priority.
wanna go live elsewhere? please do. see what it's like to try and survive in any other country in the world, then come back and tell me again about the disappearing middle class.
you want the truth? W has a mandate, for sure. 59 million (and counting) committed voters lead the way. anyone who voted for Bush voted out a deeply held belief system - a core of morality that once defined our country without dispute. the so-called 'other half' of this country that participated in this election can't quite claim to have the same level of commitment. if you take away the twits who voted based on their unquestioning faith in the media's hate campaign against our Commander-In-Chief, i doubt you have much left outside of the social misfits and Marxists who want to ram the decadence and social engineering that torched the Soviet Union down our throats.
we're not having it. get used to it. like it or not, our country has a deep faith in something besides the welfare state and unfettered hedonism.
Hello Nazi. It's obvious that we disagree on politics, but thank you for your addition to our livey national debate. My problems with your comment are 1. the "deep faith" that you speak of makes me think we are now a nation ruled by religious fundamentalists, and 2. the "welfare state" you disparage is what will take care of a lot, if not most, of the babies born if you and yours decide to overturn Roe V. Wade.
