Why should we have balanced budgets? Deficits don’t matter.
>>> “Why should we have balanced budgets? Deficits don’t matter.” - Field Marshal, President for Life, Doctor Idi Amin Dada, right?
Cheney’s stint at DoD indeed proves deficits do not matter.
Speaking of tortured guys…if some are really in custody, Bush is digging into the terror bag before the election

Military prosecutors are in the final phases of preparing the first sweeping case against suspected conspirators in the plot that led to the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001, and drew the United States into war, people who have been briefed on the case said.

The wheels of justice grind slow, but grind exceedingly fine.
I am certain that the drumhead court…er, military commission will give the Accused the same thorough hearing as, say, Richard Bruno Hauptmann got.
Pushback, meant to intimidate and distract.
THEY think it will be effective, they really do.
Whether they’re being manipulated is another story.
Why dont things work out they way they should, anyway, for Bush, and his handlers?
Well done Frank!
It was legal before it was illegal.
They will need to “try” these people before November.
A pardon wouldn’t be prudent after then.
We have Godwin’s law, which argues that:
“As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one” (Wiki).
Now we have something else, something I never thought an American leader would say in public, let alone argue in front of Congress. What we now have is Mukasey’s law, which I will define as such:
“When a democracy is in decline, the increasingly illegal and immoral acts of its leaders will be justified by the same arguments used by the Nazis to justify their illegal and immoral acts.”
The Attorney General of the United States quite literally turned to the Nazi defense in order to argue why..

This is only one small group of men, how are they any different from Harding’s, say, and the teapot dome scandal?
They don’t impress me as intelligent, they’re one note thinkers, very stupid, very cowardly.
Yawn.
So what, they’re on their way out, anyway.
The other point being, do we let ourselves be intimidated by such empty headed garbage, empty headed garbage that can’t win a war?
What self respecting intellect could allow an intellectual inferior to dictate to them?
And they’re cowards, big men when they have the advantage, but the minute they’re challenged, they back off.
They’re very afraid, when the issue becomes THEIR physical safety.
Can you imagine that level of pussy, in a man, who calls himself a fighter?
The Slippery and bloody slope that the insiders like Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern
The Slippery and bloody slope that the insiders like Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame Wilson have all been reminding us of as terribly dangerous!!
Stains on a blue dress and chocolate on a shirt do not compare to the buckets of blood that those in the Bush administration (Geneva Convention, Iraq, torture etc) should find themselves drowning in.
Surprise! Firedoglak has opened up their blog clog on the Israeli Palestinian issue
http://firedoglake.com/2008/02/10/fdl-book-salon-they-knew-they-were-right-the-rise-of-the-neocons/
Jane Hamsher and Christy Hardin Smith can spin all they want. (they think putting the word Aipac or Israel in a sentence is talking about the issue) But this is one of the very few times they have opened up this blog clog at FDL.((good for them, better late than never)
This is a good read.
My concern with all these fine cartoons that point out the ideosyncracies between integrity and truth, is what is their net effect?
The previous Government in Australia, being redneck (or Republican) refused to say “sorry” to her indiginous peoples for their shameful treatment at the hands of the whites. There was a whirlwind of rhetoric defining what was socially correct and some watered down statement was cobbled together.
Now the looney left have got in, Rudd has struck out vigorously waiving his red flat. We now have an official “sorry” week and it will probably be Australia’s sorriest yet. As the considerable journalist John Pilger has illustrated, the majority of [sane] Aboriginals don’t really give a damn about “sorry”. This is all about saving the egos of the affluent catholic/puritan white community who can go through their Cuhm-by-yah session and forget about it next week.
The aboriginals actually want better healthcare, infrastructure in isolted regions, a support mechanism that doesn’t merely issue hot air. And how about reassigning some of those gold mines on sacred lands which are currently deemed off bounds on the grounds that proceeds establish a social fund to underpin the aboriginal support network?
Hmmm, maybe not-so-loony left after all.
