1. It boggles the mind, eh?
But on the other hand, it provides the clarity of mind
necessary to comtemplate the very real option of
finding a cave to live in for the rest of one's days.

9. I'm giving Kerry till Friday
As this is the "week" to bring it up. That's how I interpreted what he said in that interview. But I'm not holding my breath. And yeah-it has to be on camera. He knews he's the damn real president afterall. Act like one.

21. I agree- if no DEM is on TV with this by Friday- then it will be official.
2006 and 2008 lost, offically.

If DEMs think they can keep the Base & grass-roots support by only focusing on "safe" issues and ignoring the big one, then they can solicit swing voters for money & volunteer time for the next campaign.

8. Getting pissed about the scandals
attached to this administration is like
pissing on a forest fire.
Same effect, obviously.

14. The Giant Wurlitzer is really really good
for rubbing out those nasty little bits of war crimes evidence stains.

Just crank it up and KAZOOOOM, its gone like magic, almost as if it never existed.

15. premeditated mass murder...
this fukken society is probably depraved enough to let blairbush get away with it, but it suggests the enormity of the disaster (the US and britain have become 'thee oven states' in less then a decade!) cannot escape becoming public knowledge much longer, the full import of what the DS minutes mean simply hasn't entered national awareness...and that's because the pigmedia has covered it up; because it's hamstrung- truth is toxic to them as much as bush! so instead of being down and disgusted by events, let's enjoy teasing the pigmedia and the busheviks...the herd IS waking up, and when it does, there's NO WHERE ON EARTH TO HIDE! NO WHERE!.....the great thing is, the public doesn't have to do anything (and you can be sure, the busheviks are spending a fortune tracking public moods/opinions etc) but the busheviks/pigmedia are getting in deeper with every passing day, and it's all on record!...lol

17. I wonder..
... you see, I believe that Congress in particular and Americans in general went along with this whole charade Bush** was putting on, knowing full well we were going to war no matter what. How could anyone not know, it was freaking obvious.

Americans didn't care. They wanted revenge, and Iraq seemed as good a place as any.

There is however, one fly in the ointment. That "going along" was based on something everyone assumed, that being "success".

Americans really thought we'd waltz in there, clean up the mess and leave behind a glowing Democracy.

Now that the effort is turning sour there are a lot of people, folks who were happy to overlook the mendacity that got us there, who are ready to point the fickle finger of blame.

There's really only one person to point that finger at, and before this is all over he's going to realize that his crowning achievement is really his waterloo.

19. Down the crapper. Garbage in, garbage out.
These vermin set the standard for running the government into the ground somewhere around ultra-high corruption.

At least for Christians and Muslims they have the satisfaction of believing the BFEE will roast in Hell one day. I'm more pessimistic.
