Does anyone remember that axis of evil speech?
The duly unelected George Jr. gave it. In talking about Iraq, Iran & North Korea he said; "States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. I will not wait on events while dangers (sic) gather. I will not stand by as peril draws closer and closer. The U.S.of A. will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons."
And then he invaded Iraq. A country that was run by a bathist, i.e. pan arab nationalist dictator who didn't like islamist fundamentalists and who didn't train or harbor Queda operatives and who didn't have weapons of mass destruction.
And in invading Iraq he put fear in Iran and North Korea who now have nuclear weapons while U.S. forces are stuck in a no-win quagmire in Iraq - a country that didn't have terrorists or weapons of mass destruction.
Good going George!
And while I'm on the subject of stupidity, the Republican hysteria on homosexuality continues to fuck them over. Yes, Dennis Hastert should resign, he protected an idiot for political purposes. But it ain't homosexuals who are ruining our country. If you're worried about children, then you should be locking up men. After all 95% of pedophiles are strait men.

I just read Joan Didion's piece in the New York Review of Books about Richard Cheney, our "Vice President For Torture." It's so appalling to look closely at the Bush administration, at the people who are running things. Though Bush calls himself "the Decider." Which reminds me of an argument between a child and a parent, in which the child says why? and the parent says, "Because I'm the parent."
Bush is certainly not the parent or the decider. He's the egomaniacal puppet who doesn't care what words are put in his mouth, as long as he can more or less pronounce them.
I think I'm going to call Dianne Feinstein's office and ask if the U.S. Constitution still applies to the people, or only to elected officials.
