The Speech, Aruba, Iraq; and connections
In news that is definitely not news, the big media confides that our wondrous Transportation Security Administration is a thief. Surprise! Thousands of taxpayer bucks for twenty gallons of coffee (well, we do have to stay wide awake . . .). Fifteen hundred for an extension cord (no mention if that bought, rented, or leased the thing). And on and on into the small-change-for-a-bureaucrat millions. For all the Sean Hannity-Fox News types: the federal government is a conspiracy of criminals—what else do you call this kind of thing?
Which brings me to The Speech. Discussing crap like this reminds me of my morning walk. The complex here has a number of dumpsters, the use of which no one seems to have mastered. Each morning, I have to close the damned covers against the neighborhood's marauding raccoons, cats, and the rest. If I don't, I have to take my walk through the garbage strewn about. It's about ninety-five degrees here every day . . . Does this remind anybody of the way "Americans" conduct their national security?
WELL, anyway: Fearless leader—you know, the chicken become a hawk who roosted with the national guard when there was a chance to "defend America" in Vietnam--now exhorts us—and our kids—to fight to the death in Iraq. What do you say about a— Shit, you fill in a word. I'm just not up to describing this guy anymore. Besides, I might pick a word that's illegal, treasonous, you know.
The Speech, Hal, the speech. Okay, I'll bet it was easy to write this sucker. Everybody with an IQ higher than seventy knew what he would say, how he would say it, and the facial expressions he would use. He didn't lie about the reasons he got us there? Did you listen to what he said in the damned speech? If you're no better at detecting a liar than to believe what this guy says, stop answering the phone. Somebody will sure as hell sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. Or the Arctic Ice Pack.
The man is a liar. For the die-hards who somehow still argue the point, I remind you of his sober report about Cuba and the sex trade. That was a bald-faced lie, he got caught at it when the supposed author of the study he lied about repudiated his statements, and it's a FACT that he lied. So don't tell me he isn't a liar. READ MY LIPS: George Bush, President of the United States, is a liar. His speech. Well, I have to pick stuff like that up every morning, and put it back in the dumpster. And folks, the longer you leave garbage in the heat - like Iraq- the more it stinks. Which reminds me that people just don't seem to know what to do with garbage.
Last thing, for those who still want to talk about Aruba, Natalee, and all that: Hey—take advantage. Learn from it. The kind of lynch mob fervor you hear on Fox "News" (my god, Van Susteren is actually trying to solve the case!) and the rest is the same kind of nitwit nonsense that got us into Iraq. Sure. Saddam was last seen with . . . no actually, he wasn't. But the CIA said he was. Well, god damn, it, SOMEBODY (better make it a nation—you can't spend three hundred billion or so chasing down just a few guys) attacked the World Trade Center, and we need to nail somebody. Get out the rubber hoses (how long do you think it will be before O'Reilly demands that?)! Oops, I mean Tomahawk missiles. Wait a minute, I was talking about Aruba. Or was I? What the hell, we want either our girl back or somebody in the gas chamber (or whatever). Nuke the bastards!
