I just got my copy of the new The Boondocks collection. Great as usual. But there was a few strips in there that got me to thinkin...

The strips were from before the last presidential heist...I mean...election. And the insinuation was that our old buddy Osama Bin Laden was going to be "captured" just before the 2004 election and save the day for the War Criminal Formerly Known As Bush. Well, that didn't happen. He still gone.

Think about this now. This means either we are unbelievably, incredibly incompetent and can't find him...OBL is unbelievably, incredibly competent and we can't find him...there actually is some Mike-Moore-type conspiracy thing going on as the War Criminal's family is friends with the Saudi's who have been backing OBL, blah, blah, blah...or even scarier...The War Criminal's Administration just doesn't give a crap. If it's that last part, we are in some serious shit.

That brought me to the next conclusion...let's say that it get's to be too much...that there's no way a Republican can win the White House in 2008 - the scarier thing than a Republican in 2008 is the schlub the Dems are going to be propping up - but there's time for that later.

Anyway, so let's assume there's a Dem in the Hizz-ow in 2009...how is this cat gonna change all the stuff the War Criminal has done (here I'm assuming s/he will want to). Have you noticed that new administrations never dis the old one? Sure the War Criminal hated Clinton...but he's never dissed him since being in office. Nutjob pundits have...they're still obsessed...but not the WC. So this Dem is going to come in and NOT say, "Whoa! We have been on the wrong track and we need to turn this bad boy around, now!" Nope...not gonna happen. Plus, by the time 2009 rolls around you're gonna have conservative federal judges all around, entrenched right-wing R's & D's in Congress (yep, I said right-wing D's). The D-Prez is not going to be able to stop this country on a dime from getting religion out of our gov't, kicking the rest of the world's ass, screwing the environment, etc. So what's s/he to do?

I'm seeing only one way...and this is what those dumbass D's should be doing now, anyway. They have to "steal the flag". Take what changes they want and wrap it in the flag...even if it makes no sense....universal health care is an American Value...Public Eduction is an American Value...Cleaning up the Environment is an American Value. Now we know this crap isn't true because this country has been based on screwing people & land, but it doesn't seem to matter.

I'm waiting for the Rocket Scientist to come out with the marketing plan that puts smoking crack or pedophilia as an American Value. I'm not really exagerating that much. As long as it's not TOO outrageous people will not disagree with this because they don't want to get branded unpatriotic. "How dare you say that screwing sheep is not patriotic! Go back to Cuba/Afganistan/Iran you terrorist."

The last thing you have to make sure of is a contridictary name...like the War Criminal's Clean Skies Act or Patriot Act. Something like...Health Care With Accountability Act, Clean Environment for the Economy Act, Laborer's Education Act...something so ridiculous that the righties will like it but the guts of it would actually be progressive.

There you go...Whitee saves the world...again.
