Everything that might be said about the miserable Bush/Cheney Administration has been said hundreds of times over by now. But nothing happens. They just go on blissfully giving their speeches, pretending to "lead," lying and cheating all the way to the bank, pushing policies so stupid as to be beyond belief. The current immigration reform is a good case in point. Bush's plan to send 6000 National Guard troops to the borders is so pathetic and transparentely useless as to be undeserving of comment.
More importantly, his support of Olmert's plan to unilaterally define the borders of Israel is even more ridiculous. You want to guarantee centuries of violence? Ignore the Palestinians and arbitrarily define your own borders. I think every country should be able to do this. I'm certain that many countries are not completely satisfied with their borders so why should they just not change them arbitrarily, unilaterally. What a terrific idea. Kashmir would be a good place to start, there's been a lot of trouble about the border there. I think Japan and Russia still have some problems over control of certain islands. This could be solved by Japan just deciding where they want the borders. There is just no end to border problems that could be solved in this way. Way to go Olmert and Bush, way to go!
Iran has been making all kinds of overtures to the U.S. about face-to-face discussions of mutual problems. The Bush/Cheney Administration, true to form, refuses. What's the point of having discussions about your problems when you can just continue to threaten and escalate and eventually have another "war." Actually, I think they won't enter into talks with Iran because they know their position is totally without foundation. And they also probably worry that Bush will make an even worse fool of himself. Diplomacy does not seem to be his strong point. Does he have a strong point? If so, please advise me as to what it is.
Dennis Hastert, ex wrestling coach, is now apparently being investigated by the FBI for bribery and corruption. Ho-hum. Rove remains unindicted. Rice continues to prattle on, Cheney has been kind of quiet of late, Rumsfeld, well Rummy just continues to be his usual senile incompetent self. And, of yes, as usual, progress is being made in Iraq. Things are going very well. Our billion dollar embassy and permanent bases are almost complete. Whee!
I almost forgot. You can "cure" homosexuality by having them beat on a pillow with a tennis racket. CNN seems to think this is newsworthy.

Speak Truth to Power! While neo-cons say that "Hey, the Arabs started the 1967 war by instituting the blockade, so they should expect to pay the price of losing", you expertly point out that Japan, who started a war that they ended up losing, should be able to redraw the map to their liking. After all, that's the way it was always done before Chimpy McHalliburton showed up -- throughout human history, the losers of wars didn't suffer any territorial consequences. Those darn joooooooos!
