In the "couldn't happen to a nicer fella" Department:
Tom Delay, X-Insect Murderer and soon-to-be convicted Felon, is set to be "booked" sometime before a scheduled Friday court appearance. Sweet!

Sounds like the Name of a
Mediocre Talent Agency

Gotta love it when mid-level guys caught up in the net roll over on the Bosses. Good for them, I say. Why should they fall on their swords for such a despicable group of thugs? The Bushies don't deserve loyalty. They never did. They've always been in it for themselves. Governing isn't what they're about. No, they're about Greed, Avarice, and Cronyism. Oh yeah, and hubris. That especially.

Too bad Mr. Bush didn't have a conversation with his earthly Father before he arranged to FUCK THE CIA.

....But stand-by Houston..... We have a problem!

Wilma is an Odd name for a STORM that has already been logged as the strongest hurricane on record (yep, once again!). Let's hope Mr. Bush's response to the pending disaster in Baby brother Jeb's state (of confusion?), is more timely and effective than it was for the people of Louisiana after Katrina.

The big problem as I see it is Wilma is the perfect diversion at the perfect time. The Bushies need to throw some water (use a pun-go to jail) on Traitorgate, and what could be luckier. What do y'all think the odds are the opportunity will go unexploited?

Personally I'm concerned that what occurs between now, and say, Halloween (the next hundred-or-so hours are critical) will determine the course of American History for the next thirty years. This, of course assuming We have that much time left.

Stay tuned.

A Comment on a Comment

I received an email from a person whom I respect. He took issue with a recent attempt at humor that depicted (in a veiled sort of way) the subject of Prison Rape. My esteemed colleague pointed out to me that Republicans are the ones who find Prison Rape funny, and that us humorless Libruls shouldn't stoop to such obvious and low-brow material.

And he was correct. Prison Rape isn't funny. There are no forms of violence that are even remotely humorous. And that includes the Rape of the Environment and Mother Earth, the evisceration of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the defenestration of the sick, the elderly, the poor, and soon, returning Vets.

And Torture isn't a laughing matter, either. The mere fact that we are even in A DISCUSSION about who, when and how to torture, is proof beyond all reasonable doubt that WE as a people have lost our way.

So, in deference to my colleague, and to prove that I am more civilized than I appear, I have removed the offending Photoshopped Image.
