Wrong On So Many Levels

"Gear up, flaps up. OK, let's land this thing!"

Today's violence in Iraq includes 35 dead in two cities, and a United States Marine serving in Anbar Province. The expression "today's violence," to paraphrase the disclaimer from "Z" is INTENTIONAL, and should alone justify a grade of "F," if not "zero" for Operation People Die So Shrub and Cheney Can Save Face.

Speaking of "Z"--the letter, not the movie--the "policy" of late has been zigzagging to such an extent I doubt anyone can really keep up.

Let's see--last week Congress significantly contributed to global warming with a "debate" that would've been more enlightening had they instead taken to counting grains of sand on the beach. Big Time insisted he was correct to say the insurgency was in its "last throes"...and then went on to assert both that the earth was flat and remained stationary in "the aether" while the sun, moon, stars and planets revolved around it in a series of crystal spheres (OK, so I made up the part about his saying the earth flat, etc., but what the hell--it's just as nutzoid). Five Deferments Dick also talked tough on the matter of a timetable for withdrawal...except now we see that maybe there IS a timetable for withdrawal...or maybe there isn't, depending on, this time to paraphrase John Kennedy, "the weather, political and otherwise." (and btw--I'm not a JFK fan, but compared to the dingbat in charge--and his puppet, Charley McCarthy Shrub, Kennedy was a goddamned master of statecraft).

Last week Abu Gonzales held press conference trumpeting the arrest/capture of a "terrorist cell" in Miami...turns out the "terrorists" likely couldn't have so much as successfully infiltrated a George Clinton concert, though not for lack of proper attire:

A man identifying himself as Brother Corey said in an interview with CNN that he belonged to the group, called the Seas of David. He denied the group was involved in terrorism and described the Seas of David as a religious organization.

The group apparently did little to inspire fear in the Liberty City neighborhood where they took up residence.

A close family friend and a distance cousin of Stanley Grant Phanor described the leader of the group, Narseal Batiste, as a "Moses-like figure" who would roam the streets in a cape or bathrobe, toting a crooked wooden cane and looking for young men to join his group.


Man, I'm sure glad the FBI is protecting me from...guys in bathrobes toting crooked wooden canes. Sticks ARE weapons, after all.

(Note: Narseal has Gret Stet connections, having spent part of his time growing up in and around Marksville/Bunkie. But, sorry, conspiracy theorists: Avoyelles Parish did NOT suffer "God's wrath" from either Katrina or Rita...though it IS the birthplace of one Edwin Washington Edwards).

Tony Snow had hisself one big ol' hissy fit--as did Peter King (the asshole New York representative, NOT the surprisingly thoughtful CNN/SI Sports Columnist)--re: the New York Times story about Team Bush fishing through financial records, as if ANYONE from Team Bush is actually capable of understanding, much less interpretion. For chrissakes, this is a gang of clowns who couldn't run a genuine business to save their lives (and thus have turned to giving themselves government monies by the freight train load).

And, finally, sort of like a rotten cherry on top of a rancid dessert, David Brooks manages to discover the creeping commie menace in the form of Daily Kos, or, more specifically, Kos himself...who evidently is a mix/match of Stalin's cult of personality and "that Moscow gold."

Unfortunately, Daily Kos is as yet unawares of my presence here in Red State/Red City America; however I look forward to obeying his instructions as soon as his intel network notifies him...because as we all know, "the party has a thousand eyes."
