I really think this is what it must have been like when Rome fell. The absolute cluelessness of the leaders, just not getting it. I'm not necessarily saying that the US is going down or that maybe the War Criminal's administration's going down, but if that's the case they may be taking the rest of us with them. A few things have been happening this week that make me think this way:

• Look...I'm sorry, but Iran has absolutely no obligation to stop it's nuclear power program. North Korea, too. We're not only maintaining our own stockpile but that f-ing moron president of yours is trying to develop more! The EU is in the same boat. You can't give tax breaks to the rich nuclear power industry here, continue to develop new nuclear weapons and then tell another country not to. That would be like me telling you not to drink beer or watch porn....if I did those things, of course.



• Oh and Pakistan just tested it's first Cruise Missle. Congratulations goes out to Pakistan & the missus.



• The Army fired a 4 star general for having an affair, but does nothing to officers who torture prisoners. Folks...we torture prisoners. We are as evil as any facist or communist dictatorship you can think of. We use psychiatrists to figure out the best way to torture. We have "rape rooms" in Iraq. Face it...we suck ass...this is in your name.

Now, the criminals in charge just don't get it. They really don't. They have no freakin idea what they're doing. They honestly feel that they are impervious to anything legal. What do I mean?

• The Republican Party is paying the legal bills of a guy in New England who is going down for rigging elections. Others have already confessed and are cooperating with prosecutors. I wish they'd send him to a real prison, but they won't.



• OK...I don't want to hear another MF'er complain about my 9/11 takes. When that suckwad Rumsfeld is holding a freakin concert. This is just straight-up balls. I don't know what else to call it. This cat is an idiot with major stones. And the music sucks, too.



• But of course, the best is for last...yep...Cindy Sheehan. This is close to a perfect storm kinda thing. The press is starting to get sick & tired of the lies (starting, anyway), this is a real story that they're not going to drop and she's good. Until I see otherwise, her motives seem pure, but she was against the war to begin with and there are a lot of folks who were down with the war criminal who are now not. And the righty pundits are trying to go after Sheehan...stupid...dumb...cocky. And the longer the War Criminal waits the worse it's gonna be. Busloads of people are going to Crawford as we speak.

Add on the Bolton crap in the UN, Karl Rove, CAFTA, inaction in Niger, continuing investigations in Ohio on voter fraud, their absolute refusal to acknowledge global warming. They are not throwing moderates to lefties one single bone to keep them relatively satisfied. Next year's congressional races are gonna be interesting - until the Dems blow it, but we have time to get to that later.
