Dick Rove Bush

Wow!

Draping yourself in the image of Richard Nixon. Now that is sleazy. Hell, that is even sleazier than Nixon himself.

In a Salon opinion piece entitled More vicious than Tricky Dick, from which I got this image, John W. Dean writes that "Bush's people have out-Nixoned Nixon's people. And my former colleagues were not amateurs by any means."

Wow!

Now yes, Nixon is the Macbeth of American politics. A great man whose over arching desire for power corrupts ever thing when just a little restraint would have allowed him to avoid self-destruction.

I for one do not believe the Junior Bush, has the complexity of the failure of Nixon. Junior is banal.

Nixon went to China. Can you envision Junior Bush going to Tehran?

Journalistic Threat

Thank God Almighty that we have the Department of Homeland Security to protect us honest Americans. Reason magazine reports that but for our courageous DHS Nazi Pimps, treacherous foreign journalists would have been able to report from a video-game industry conference.

Interestingly while the nasty journalistic terrorists were rebuffed, noble foreign Public Relations spokespeople from various video game firms were wisely allowed into God's Country.

PATRIOT not that bad, yet...

In this Plastic discussion about a New York Times "Patriot Act" article we learn that the Justice department claims that the Patriot Act has not been as bad as its critics fear.

Well, DUH!

I for one believe that if the Patriot Act is allowed to stand as is, we will not even begin to see how bad it really is for at least 5 to 10 years. All of the bad things that I fear about the Patriot Act will occur after it is a well estabished law with a few minor test cases under its belt. Then future generations of goverment officials will have a proven law and a population that has been slowly groomed to accept highly reduced freedom and still think they are a Free people.
