One by One ...
The lumps of poo that have been flung about indiscriminately by the Bush White House are striking the high-speed fan of reality and rebounding on this putrid excuse for an administration.
- The President was forced to acknowledge today what everyone else already knew - that we've been running a network of secret prisons in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, and have held people there without charges or access to any whiff of legal system for years. And these new "military tribunals?" Let's all start hopping, because it's Kangaroo Court Time, boys and girls!
- The speaker of Iraq's Parliament has announced that if the factions currently dyeing the streets of Iraq red with blood don't reconcile, Iraq will collapse in "three to four months." Sobering news indeed, because it puts Our Troops in the middle of a very uncomfortable position.
- Pakistan has concluded a truce with the tribes up in North Waziristan, and part of the agreement is supposed to restrict fighters from crossing the border into Afghanistan. Yeah, I'm sure that'll work.
- Speaking of Afghanistan, it's now statistically as dangerous to be an American soldier there as it is in Iraq (according to the New York Times). The Taliban is back, and worse than ever because now they're better-armed and media-savvy. Think Son of Taliban, leaner, meaner and with steam coming out of their ears.
- The economy is starting to slide. Real wages are not keeping up with inflation, the middle class is getting smaller and our trade deficit is gigantic. It is said that Nixon once remraked, "As long as the economy's good, any jackass can get elected President."
The present jackass in the White House, spattered with feces of his own production, is now being avoided like a leper by members of his own Party, since they've realized that he is the Worse Thing to Associate With.
