Do As I Say, Not As I Do

August 9th marked the 62nd anniversary of the US killing 74,000 people with one bomb, not to worry though it wasn't a "roadside" bomb or a "homicide" or "suicide" bombing. It took place after we killed approximately 140,000 people with one bomb a couple of days before. The hypocrisy of these mass killings, not to mention the fire bombings that took place in the lead up to the US becoming the only nation to use atomic weapons, has been in the back of mind for some time. But "do as I say and not as I do" is a philosophy that can be found in so many places within Our government, and society at large. Last week the president of the young republicans resigned, as mark before the news broke of his homosexual exploits. He now joins such gay gay-bashers foley, jeff gannon/guckert, and his eminence ted haggard. This latest homosexual homophobe rivals the "Land of the Free" spying on it's own citizens from space for this Ink's #1 story of hypocrisy.

In "it's just cyclical weather" news, last week saw a one hour downpour shut down the New York City subway system, not to mention the first tornado in Brooklyn in 118 years. The storm flooded the New Jersey/New York area like the Fed flooded money into the US banking system. Not to be outdone, Europe and Asia has sent a tsunami of fresh cash to stop the markets' slide.

Then there is the too early to talk about election. The republican's 9/11 candidate claimed, much to the anger of actual workers at "ground zero" on and after that horrendous attack, "I Was At Ground Zero As Often, If Not More, Than Most Of The Workers" going on to say "So in that sense, I'm one of them." He has since said it was a mistake to say what he said. Really rudy? Ya think? Maybe his joining the "build a wall and kill the illegals" camp will help him against Iowa's favorite flip flopper, and turd blossom rover's possible new boss.

And speaking of "bush's brain", karl "turd blossom" rove is finally getting the hell out of Our White House. My only hope is that the investigations into his criminal and treasonous activities plague him for all his days. Democrats might want to thank the evil doer, after all his "permanent republican majority" may have lost a generation of republicans , and has certainly given the incoming Democratic President unprecedented power.

In sad news, TV icon Merv Griffin and Yankee great Phil Rizzuto have died. Their obituaries are joined by 250 more from the neocons' war of choice in Iraq. Five of which were US soldiers in a downed helicopter. Don't worry, it'll all be in the white house written "report from General Petraeus" to be delivered in September. A report that will no doubt say the surge is making Baghdad (the capital those in charge of Our military have not been able to take after four years) more secure. As for Iraq's political process, it should prove hard to make progress there by the September deadline/benchmark/line in the sand with the Iraqi government on vacation for a month. A vacation admonished by lil' george and Congress, who are on vacation for the month of August as well. Do As I Say... Yeah, you know the rest.
