From petty to monstrous

How petty can you get? There is supposed to be some kind of international baseball tournament but Cuba, which quite likely has the best baseball team on earth, is not going to be allowed to play. I guess that will teach those Commies not to fool around with the greatest military power on earth. I mean, Cuba is just sitting there preparing to invade the U.S., and I bet this boycott will make them just angry enough to do it. So prepare yourself for an imminent "war" with Cuba over this monumental problem.

They won't stop with Cuba. Just watch. They're going to prohibit Iran's soccer team from international competition as well. That'll teach them a thing or two. Don't mess with U.S. or pay the consequences. If this kind of thing doesn't strike you as absolutely absurd you are just not thinking. Never try to reach out in friendship to anyone when you can just bomb them off the face of the earth. Why bomb them? Because they won't do exactly what we want them to do.

If you didn't watch Democracy Now today you missed it. Most of the time was taken up by an interview with Craig Murray, the ex British Ambassador to Uzbekistan. Murray was fired from that post because he spoke out and told the truth about what an absolutely murderous, torturing country it is. And all with the complete cooperation of the CIA. This is not merely his opinion, he has memos and evidence that prove it. Abu Ghraib seems to be small potatoes compared to the Uzbekistanis. But Bush and Karimov, the Uzbekistan dictator, seem to be buddies from the time Bush was Governor of Texas. And oh, by the way, Ken Lay and Enron were involved in this big time. Surprised? The irony of all this is that eventually Karimov signed a deal with the Russians for natural gas, and one of the provision of that deal was that the U.S. had to go. So Karimov kicked us out. The Bush administration claims we left because of human rights violations. The Bush/Cheney administration is the most vile, hypocritical, inhuman, dishonest, corrupt U.S. administration ever, and obviously incompetent to boot.

It is almost certainly going to stay that way if we have to depend upon Democrats like Biden and Feinstein who say they will not filibuster. If Alito should not be filibustered, who ever should? He is going to see to it that the Presidency becomes a dictatorship while the other two branches of government simply wither away. All hail Bush! King Bush the First. Actually, he might be better qualified as King than President. After all, Presidents are supposed to be somewhat competent whereas Kings can be as moronic and stupid as they wish, even insane.
