"He Kept Us Safe"*
*Offer not available to military personnel or allied countries.
As Bill Hicks once said, we hope you've enjoyed your fireworks show.
Oh, and I'm not implying that they actually DID "keep us safe." To draw a rough analogy, just because a rooster crows at the rising sun doesn't mean it's responsible for the morning's light.

And if anyone knows how to stay cool under fire, it's Mike "Anything I need to tweak?" Brown.

End of an Error
Major combat operations have ended for Britain.
Sorry for the sub par graphic...am on a somewhat short lunch break from the previously mentioned training class.

Hope at 100
100 days, that is...well, yesterday's big story about Arlen's party (and he'll cry if he wants to) is probably as good a metaphor as any--someone who's been pretty much a mainstream Republican can, one, no longer expect ANY support from the wingnut base, and two, is plenty welcome enough on the other side of the aisle.
I wish the neo-con ninnies shouting "socialist" from therooftops basements would take note--far from being even radical, the Obama administration is pretty middle of the road, Keynesian to be sure...duh--so was their be-knighted/beatified/be-sainted Ronald, Patron of the Laffer curve...They've been forced by circumstance--the George W. Bush exercise in political and economic lunacy--to undertake significant measures to, ahem, PRESERVE the existing system.
There are moments when the new administration has been disappointing to true progressives; however, they are working under certain constraints and probably doing the best they can given the circumstances. And it's not like the alternative would have been any better...far from it:
Anyway...
Oh--am a little under the weather today, posting will likely be slow...and tomorrow I'll be stuck in a training class. Until then...

Vitter and
Pardon?
Steve Benen points to more Shrub-Nixon comparisons; interestingly, the Rude Pundit brought the topic up last week, I believe.
Given that a Ford's pardon of the other Dick likely cost him politically, I'd guess the odds are low that President Obama will follow the example. And accepting a pardon certainly implies guilt, as does the mountain of evidence re: "enhanced interrogation" now in the public record, which means Shrub and the Dick of our generation are unlikely to grasp that particular life line unless it becomes absolutely necessary.
Personally, I'll settle for a de facto house arrest for the two them--and their fellow torture apologists--that is, the necessity for a certain Kissingerian level of caution with regards to travel. It would be exceedingly small justice, but better than no justice at all.
I'll also settle for the verdict of history, which will harshly judge not only the previous administration, but their windbag wingnut defenders. Or so I hope.
