Right On, Tom!

What a delightfully pointed analogy to...

---our failed Iraq policy, in specific;and

---George's evangelical, Christian, soul-saving/democracy-making ideology, in general.

I could be wrong, but I believe our fellow citizen, George W., will go down in history as the worst President we have ever had; on the basis both of things done, and things not done. I have lost all respect for the man and his family. Clearly, his family did not raise him right, and he has continued the tradition.

Not the absolute worst president

While Bush is certainly the worst president in living memory, I have to point out that, so far, he may not be the worst president in history. James Buchanan, who oversaw the Dred Scott decision and hastened our country into the civil war, which saw more American deaths than any other conflict, probably is more deserving of that distinction.

However, Bush's legacy as the second worst president in US history is probably a small consolation.

This cartoon is anti-Semitic!

Just not an apt analogy

Would have been more reasonable to have the homeowner beating his wife when Nate showed up and stopped him, creating all this chaos in the process. The wife could then reasonable believe that she was better off in a non-burning house with a wife-beater, but it's silly to claim that everything was hunkey-dorey before Nate showed up.

So certain, and yet so wrong

This piece succinctly captures the smug self-assurance and utter cluelessness that typifies not just neoconservatives, but knee-jerk ideologues in general. Because they're so sure they're right (about everything, of course), there's no need to delve into the facts, adjust opinions, or entertain opposing points of view. The PC lefties of the 90's were guilty of such hubris; the neocons of the Bush years, however, have reached a whole new level of lethal self-delusion (unfortunately, lethal for others, not themselves).
