Been a couple of days since we last posted. In that short time, a lot has happened. The Bush-panzee (like the pic? courtesy of this site) has nominated a new AG, someone that everyone seems to like, except the wingnuts. Again, said primate-in-chief has managed to try to hoodwink the world screaming "Anbar! Anbar!" and addressing the nation in primetime. We still can't make heads nor tails of the little speech. So, did the surge work or not? He seemed to think it had by the very fact it failed.
Also, what has become of Thefiveforty.com? We went there and all we saw was some sort of placeholder page? That's one of our regular daily reads, and it po's us to know end that Greg has given up the ship. Who are we supposed to read now? The "Family Coalition" disappeared, Matt hasn't posted in forever and a day, and Warwick long ago gave up his job at the AT. Only Max posts now. Wherefore art thou Arkan-blogopshere-sas?
OK, to the business at hand...we firmly believe that Paul Green's Pulitzer should be retroactively revoked, and re-awarded this time to the Morning News' outstanding scribe, Doug Thompson. He probably doesn't need or want our approbrium, but he'll get it here anyway. This is what we wish we'd seen from others of his ilk ages ago...
Here's some more progress: The bad idea of giving blind faith to national leaders has just gone through the most effective debunking in my lifetime. Not even Vietnam taught this lesson so well. Vietnam crept up on us, an escalation that got out of control. The Iraq war was the administration's baby, abetted by members of Congress from both major parties who were either in lockstep or cowering.
All this whining about how America is losing its resolve if we leave Iraq is a bunch of, well, whining. You don't hear any demands about pulling out of Afghanistan. We've been there longer than Iraq. The country's even more ungovernable than Iraq is.
Oooh-rah! Go Doug, knock 'em dead! That's what we like. A little truth with our MSM, and here in the Natural State, no less. Will wonders never cease? First we get rid of Huck, avoid Hutchinson, and now this! There yet remains hope for humanity.
Next on the agenda, author and former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan is full of crap. He did too say that Bush lied, and he can't wiggle out of it, no matter what he tells NBC's Matt Lauer.
Enjoy the old prune's video.
However, we're not sure why he wants to claim the party and his leader as his own. This little story from Detroit is enough to make anyone think of Larry Craig as a pretty clean-cut and honest guy. Or at least less perverted than one federal prosecutor from Florida, caught in a sting operation looking for pedophiles. This moron got caught, and then made things three or four zillion times worse with this little tidbit...
In deposition, detectives said Atchison suggested the mother tell her daughter that
"you found her a sweet boyfriend who will bring her presents."
The undercover detective expressed concern about physical injury to the 5-year-old girl as a result of the sexual activity. Detectives said Atchison responded, " I am always gentle and loving; not to worry, no damage ever, no rough stuff ever. I only like it soft and nice."
The undercover detective asked how Atchison can be certain of no injury. He responded, "Just gotta go slow and very easy. I've done it plenty," according to detectives.
Now, now...we know not all Repuglicans are this bad, just the ones that scream the loudest about morals and family values during election season. Seriously though folks, this is a real problem, isn't it? Makes it tough to campaign on hot-button issues while taking the moral high-ground.
However, one member of the GOP has decided he's had it.
PROVIDENCE — Lincoln D. Chafee, who lost his Senate seat in the wave of anti-Republican sentiment in last November’s election, said yesterday that he has left the party.
Chafee said he disaffiliated with the party he had helped lead, and his father had led before him, because the national Republican Party has gone too far away from his stance on too many critical issues, from war to economics to the environment.
“It’s not my party any more,” he said.
Senator, we understand. It's more the party of Craig, and Foley, and DeLay and Abramoff and Gonzales...well, you get our point. We salute you for coming to your senses, finally.
Now, if you can just get others to follow your good example, who knows what could happen to America?
Finally, as if all that wasn't enough to laugh about, we stumbled over this, and like it. Here goes...“If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane or train follow these instructions:
May work when senior partners hover as well.
1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
2. Remove your laptop.
3. Start up
4. Make sure the guy who is annoying you, can see the screen.
5. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.
7. Then hit this link
Yep, you get the Al Qaeda screen of death.
