Just get the fuck out of Iraq

Anyone that puts on a suit to go to work is a useless asshole. Just get the fuck out of Iraq. NOW.

The Federal government really ought to be shunned -- return power to the states. Just let the Feds sit there, ignored.

No need for violent revolution. Just turn your back on them. The Feds were a bad idea to begin with. They've only grown worse over time. Iraq is probably the ultimate expression of what a jerk off Hamilton was. Fuck the federal government.

Thompson Twins

During Bush's speech, I had playing the in background the old Thompson Twins hit "Lies." Hearing "Lies, lies, lies, yeah" in the background made the speech more palatable. In fact, perhaps the song could serve as the leitmotiv for the whole GW Bush era.

Mcnamara Lives!

Close your eyes and you could hear LBJ defending sending more troops to the jungle.

Or Nixon explaining Vietnamization.

Or Kissinger denying we were bombing Cambodia.

The Usurper's speechwriters were obviously counting on the ever-reliable American ignorance of history.

And their imperviousness to irony.

This was actually an announcement of 10 more years of American troops as cannon fodder, nuclear destruction of Iran, and the devolution of American democracy into martial law and permanent war.

My two dear Senators

Libby Dole(R-NC) and Richard Burr(R-NC) are of course cheering on President Bush as they always do. God what a fat load of screeching retarded assholes they are.

Look Behind You

Has Congress stepped into a time machine and thinks it's back in 2004? The troops are committed, the plans are complete, the subs and planes are warming up the nuclear missiles.

It is TOO LATE for anything Congress can do now. If they voted this morning to impeach the Usurper and Darth Cheney, it would be TOO LATE.

Hate to keep repeating myself, but only the generals can save us now. If they must stop short of an actual coup, simply standing down and refusing to start World War III might work.

McCain is

going to lose both. Wait, he already has lost the war. Make that one down, one to go. I heard Barney has moved in with David Letterman lest he become part of one of Dave's 10 Best Reasons segments. Can Laura and a liter of vodka tonic be far behind?

What drives Bush

I was just wandering if anyone else out there is starting to worry that Bush thinks God has told him to start Armagedon?
