Public Relations

What happens when the world's only superpower, with the greatest military ever assembled, is being humiliated by a bunch of civilians with not much more than small arms? When they have obviously made the greatest foreign policy blunder of all time and have no idea how to gracefully get out of it? When a vast majority of their own citizens has now concluded that their "war" is a total disaster? When every day brings more deaths and dismemberments? When things could not possibly get worse? Why...they just elect to spend 20 million dollars on a Public Relations campaign designed to feature only the positive aspects of their dismal failure (although I'm not at all certain there really are any positive aspects to feature). Let's face it, these people (and you know who I mean) are just plain and simply PATHETIC. They insist on having more of our troops killed for no purpose other than to "stay the (failed) course." They are worse than war criminals. They are sadistic monsters who are unable to admit they deliberately brought about an unnecessary and immoral "war," and apparently will not rest until they have actually destroyed what was once our wonderful country (I guess they will just flee to Paraguay to join whatever other war criminals still survive there). Indeed, they have looted enough money to probably buy Paraguay.

Fascists. Here we have another example of the classic Rove strategy. Now that a majority of American citizens have finally figured out that Bush/Cheney are establishing a Fascist Dictatorship here in the U.S., the Republicans have now began accusing the Muslims of being fascists. Islamofascism is their cry and they are working it all they can. The fact that it is a totally meaningless phrase matters not one whit to them, they know that if they repeat it often enough somehow it will stick and instead of them becoming recognized as the fascist threat they are, it will be the "Other," (Muslims) that are the fascists. And of course our only hope for survival will be if Republicans stay in power to protect us from this new fascist threat. No doubt the 35% of their mindless faithful will accept this utter bullshit. Can we not hope that the majority will see through this ridiculous scam?

The so-called "news" on CNN has now become so bad I no longer even turn it on to get the market report. Things in general just seem to keep on going from bad to worse. Don't worry. Be happy. As long as the idiot puppet in the White House continues to listen to the sound advice of the most evil man on the planet what do we have to worry about?
