TV News

I think I have finally reached the point where I can no longer stomach TV News, especially CNN. I have tried to watch Anderson Cooper for a while but his program has grown into just another infomercial piece of crap. When offering his program for this evening, for example, he said he would talk about this stupid woman who got cold feet about her impending marriage. As if we haven't already heard endlessly from CNN about it. Then he was going to showcase the clever Laura Bush giving her obviously scripted comments about the idiocy of her husband. When she repeated on the news ad nauseam, "If you're going to defeat tyranny you'll have to stay up later than 9:00 p.m." I literally thought I might gag. I simply cannot see that as funny. It's just too true. Not that he is going to do anything about tyranny anyway, other than support it, if it has to do with oil.

The situation in Iraq grows worse day by day. The number of terrorist attacks keeps growing and the attacks are more and more sophisticated. But we are still being told by Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice, et al that we are winning. It is perfectly obvious that no one can "win" a war on terror, just as it is obvious that we are not "winning" in Iraq or Afghanistan. But just keep telling us over and over that we are and gullible Americans will continue to support this obviously illegal, immoral and unconstitutional totally unnecessary disaster they want to call a "war." After all, real Presidents have to be wartime Presidents. This whole business is sick beyond belief and has been from the very beginning.

What is involved here are war crimes of absolutely enormous proportions. Bush/Cheney and the others have the blood of hundreds of thousands on their hands. Are they going to walk away free from responsibility? Sadly, they may.
