WTF Is It Now?!?

It was interesting to see Squinty McGolfcart cut his mini-vacation at Camp David short this weekend. Were all those stories about the Bungler-in-Chief sleeping well and relaxing while our troops were getting shot up backfiring a bit?? F*cktards. "Andy? It's Karl. Listen, we better get the little doofus back to Washington - we're starting to get some bad press...yeah, OK, it's mostly from the internet, but still...No, tell him he can finish his video game back at the White House..." Christ.



"Those who stand against this attack are dunned as 'Not supporting the troops.' One might suggest the best way to support troops is to see them brought home safely. One might also suggest that support continues after the shooting stops. This does not appear to be on the agenda for the Republican Party. A vote along party lines today in the House Budget Committee slashed $9.7 billion from veterans disability compensation programs, as well as from other programs. These cuts, pushed through the committee by the majority-holding Republicans, are part of the plan to see Bush's new $1.57 trillion tax cut through. Wave that flag, George." - Mike B, via email.




"If the freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." - George Washington.

Blacklists and goosestepping

"Gulf War II is in full swing on the home front. In the latest manifestation of the 200-year-old struggle over what it means to be patriotic, the war dissidents are taking a beating. The Dixie Chicks' music has been banned on certain radio stations. Former President Jimmy Carter has been told by Republican Sen. John McCain to 'shut up.' Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle has similarly been told by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to fermez la bouche; he also has been tagged 'the senator from France' - which these days is apparently deemed the mother of all insults.

"Thirteen prominent actors and musicians have been listed by the New York Post as 'Saddam Lovers' whose work should be boycotted. Eric Foner, a prominent historian, has been labeled 'an ornament of Columbia University's Marxist firmament.' The other night, a rodeo fan in Texas was spat on when he stayed in his seat during the playing of Lee Greenwood's 'Proud to Be an American.'" - Dick Polman, courtesy of democrats.com. Disgusting.




"We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up." - Michael Moore, during his Oscar acceptance speech (Best Documentary) for Bowling For Columbine.
