Vietnam Redux

Bush announced today that the 4000 American deaths in Iraq will not have been in vain.
Yes they will.
Just like in Viet Nam, once we pack up and leave, whatever fake make believe government we have set up will collapse and the very people we tried to eliminate will take control. That is the definition of dying in vain.

The Reverend Al Qaeda?

“No, no, no, not God bless America — God damn America!” - Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.
The words of Barack Hussein Obama's pastor and spiritual adviser for his campaign.
Obama took the title of his 2006 autobiography, “The Audacity of Hope,” from a sermon by Wright, who baptized him and officiated at his wedding. He has called Wright “a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible.”

Just lucky I guess

I have listened to every conceivable excuse from every kind of economic expert these past weeks explaining the rocketing price of fuel. They blame it on everything from the weak U.S. dollar, to the emergence of China as a major consumer of oil, or to oil speculators. It seems they go out of their way to blame everything and everybody except the oil companies themselves. All I pay attention to is the fact that a gallon of gasoline has doubled in price over the last five years and Exxon/Mobile sets a new profit margin world record with every quarterly report. Do you really believe that a company like Exxon/Mobile has no control over making a $40 billion profit every three months?
If you own a business, try increasing your prices 100% over the next five years and see where you are by the sixth.

Could'a been worse!

8 US soldiers killed in Baghdad in two different bombings in one day. Cheney and Bush will say it proves that the 'surge' is still working since it was only eight.

Moonlighting

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was caught in the investigation of a high end prostitution ring. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that he had hired most of the cable news anchor babes reporting the story at one time or another.

April 15th? Yer kidding. Really?

At a cost of $42 million, the Bush administration is sending a letter to everybody in America to remind us to file our income tax reports. There is no bottom to the pit of insanity that is the Cheney/Bush regime.

Says it all
