Abu Musab al-Zarqawi

al-Zarqawi is dead. No doubt this is a good thing, as he personified evil.

Sad to say however, it doesn't make Bush any smarter.

Massacre in Iraq

"We were lying there, bleeding, and it hurt so much. Afterward, some Iraqi soldiers came. They carried us in their arms. I was crying, shouting, 'Why did you do this to our family?' And one Iraqi soldier tells me, 'We didn't do it. The Americans did."

My Lai revisited.

"When will they ever learn?"

Words cannot express the horror of this crime. It's more than a criminal massacre. It's irreparable damage to our country and our claim to be the "Land of the free, and the home of the brave".

Weep for the future of democracy and civilization.

Snow job

Looks like Bush has realized that 2 "Snow jobs" in his administration is 1 too many. He finally got the "drift", and 1 Snow got "railroaded".

Enron

Shakespeare, in Julius Ceasar ( I think) said something like this:

"The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones".

In the case of the Enron evildoers, there will be precious little good to inter with their bones. May they rot in prison until nothing but bones are left. Then bury them very, very deep.

 

Karl Rove is hard at work

We have the new fuss about immigration, and now the fuss about English as the official language. And again, the real and very serious problems are put on the back burner and "off the radar" for the general public.

Our glorious leaders, obviously honorable men all, are providing diversions that they hope will  blind us to the very grim reality of the current situation. We are in deep do-do. they know we are in deep do-do, they know not what to do about this mess. so they play mind games. Don't be fooled. These so called "honorable men" will stop at nothing to have  their way by playing us all for fools.

Fellow citizens, remember this admonition: "There are none so blind as they who WILL not see".
