Not Exactly Jackson Pollock

My first impression--no pun intended--of the original picture was that it resembled a sort of particularly perverse piece of abstract art...blood, steel and concrete grimly substituting for paint, board, and canvas. Another day for some in Baghdad...a LAST day for others.

And while I see that Shrub's decided to adopt the role of admonishing parent--at least for the next day or two--in regards to the somewhat peculiar methods the Iraqi government uses in "administering justice," (after all, the man KNOWS his execution protocol), I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the media slackens its collective jaw and slowly nods...and maybe wipes a little drool off its collective chin...when Bush says things like, "you conducted a trial and gave Saddam justice that he didn’t give to others." Yes--but what about the 34,000 Iraqi civilians who've been killed this year.

Where's THEIR justice?
