2/7/05So, the Shites have won Iraq in a landslide. Big fuckin' surprise, eh? Bet nobody in the White House ever thought that would happen. Even with a 60+ percentage majority, no one ever figured those "ignernt Rag-Heads" would be a match for Diebold Voting Machines. Go figure.Much like half of Ohio, Puppet-Master/Ex-CIA Stooge Ayad Allawi has gotta be feelin' pretty damned disenfranchised at the moment. ....Fortunately he'll be able to enjoy a measure of comfort for his exertion; $9 Billion goes a pretty long way, even for a guy with Mr. Allawi's exotic preferences.Am I accusing Mr. Allawi of Corruption on a Grand Scale? Of complicity in the disappearing of $9 Billion American Taxpayers Dollars. Fuck no, not I. I accuse no man of ..... well I'm sure ya get my drift. Still there certainly is the appearance of impropriety.... $9 Billion is a lot of currency to suddenly turn into smoke. ....What with the Occupation of Mesopotamia going so splendidly and all, It should come as no surprise to anyone that Mr. Bush will be requesting more money for "Our Fightin' Boys in Uniform." And you can rest assured the requested funds will be immediately forthcoming. In BushLand EVERYBODY has their hand in the pot.America has become a bloated, belligent, only slightly more sophisticated version of Colombia. There's A Big-Ass Cartel running the Show. They Control it ALL. And the fuckers are INSATIABLE. In This New World Order, if you are lucky, you are given a simple choice. The proposition is quite simple. "Gold or Lead". And the implications are crystal fucking clear. Take the money and shut the fuck up....Or take a bullet (or twelve) and ....shut the fuck up. In either event, They get what They want..... Cooperation or your Eternal Silence. Damn. This is startin' to sound like a bad knock-off of The Sopranos. But even in Tony's World, SOMEONE would have to answer for the loss of $9 Billion. Wouldn't matter who your Daddy was, or what lame-ass excuse you conjured up for your obviously suicidal behavior. Know what I mean? Of course ya do. But does anybody out there think Justice will be served? And if not, what's kind of message is that sendin' to the young'uns? The Message is: Crime Pays. And the kids get it - if you're gonna be a Criminal, be a BIG Criminal. And speaking of Criminals ......There are a lot of folks making BIG DOLLARS because of the war in Iraq. They are a diverse lot, but war is the thing they share in common. War and Dollars. Plenty enough of both to go around. The Dollars are generated by Taxpayers, more than half of whom think Iraq was a mistake. This money, gargantuan in scope, is being spent on a massive Military-Industrial build-up that vastly enriches a few, while vastly enslaving Many. And to what end? A cheap supply of oil? .....And this week Mr. Bush is due to wield his Mighty Budget Axe. Now that he has his ManDate, and no further need to impress ANYBODY, Mr. Bush can finally let his "Inner-Asshole" come out and play. Expect Mr. Bush to take no prisoners. He'll be slashing budgets for Police and Firemen and for the Environment. He'll be eviscerating programs for Needy children and impoverished Seniors alike. Oh yes, Mr. Bush is a Compassionate Conservative, a Good Christian, and a Uniter not a Divider. .... He's also a pathological liar, a coward, and a demented, inarticulate sack of warm monkey shit ...... I digress. |
