03.14.05...The news stories I have
today are particularly interesting.
Fist, we have the story of a man from
the Homeland Security office who is
making claims that Tom Ridge
became upset after he did his job and
sent a report of the departments
activities to Congress. Ridge
allegedly got angry when critical
information was not excluded from the
report even after he had requested
such changes. Read the story, it
really shows how the Bush
administration consistently micro
manages a false reality for the
American people. This goes way
beyond Homeland Security too.
Proving that neo-cons care more
about their ability to influence a
candidate rather than the color of
their skin we get the Condi Rice for
President Trial Balloon. She was on
the weekend show giving a "aw
shucks not me" reply to the rumors.
Lets see - she has a long record of
failure, an ability to dodge the truth or
responsibility, and a set of opinions
undeterred by facts. Looks like the
50 year old virgin would be the
perfect candidate for Red America.
The Iraq Looting story really puts into
perspective just how incompetent the
Bush administration is. One of the
major justifications for invading the
country was to protect the world from
the threat of weapons kept in these
locations. But when we got in we let
the looters have it all.
Opening Day of the baseball season
is not less than 3 weeks away.
I saw 'Million Dollar Baby' this
weekend. I thought it was good but
doubt it is the Best picture of the year
like the Acadamy of Motion Pictures
say. I think I figured out why the right
wingers are organized against it. One
of the lead characters repeatedly
questions a priest about all major
articles of faith. At one point the
frustrated priest says that the only
people who come to church everyday
do so because they can't forgive
themselves for something. -A little to
close to the bone for Red America.
Questioning, doubting are certainly
not really in favor these days and
showing a religious figure speaking
outside their selected text is as
unwelcome on the big screen as Scott
McClellan speaking off script would
be embraced at a news conference.
Stay on script- don't question or
doubt- and stay out of trouble of all
the moral crusaders out there!
Remember though, do as they say
and not as they do.
