i used to think the hardest part of being cynical is keeping up. now I know the hardest part of being cynical is writing a cynical blog. Commenting on today’s news is like bashing your head against a wall, except when you bash your head against a wall, at some point your skull explodes, brains fly about, and the whole thing is over.
In today’s overly controlled, emotionally manipulative, tragedy exploiting, sensationalistic political environment, democracy is a sham. So it feels so much like commenting on the process is as well.
The good news today is that Bush’s approval ratings are approaching basement levels. 61% of Americans disapprove of the job he is doing, which the WSJ points out is despite a strengthening economy. people are starting to get pissed about this war, now years old. if we didn’t have such a compliant and complicit MSM, we would have another vietnam, and it seems like we might begin to have one anyway. polls today bring both good and bad news, however.
a gallup poll reported that 60 years after the dropping of the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 57% of Americans approve the use of these weapons in that circumstance. bombs that did nothing but kill civilians by vaporizing them where they stood, showered upon them deadly black rain, and melted the skin off of still living human beings, and are still causing major genetic problems to this day- and American’s still approve. This country loves to play the victim but gleefully relishes the victimization of others.
Real knowledge of history makes this country’s foreign policy unconscionable. members of the truman administration should have faced war crimes charges. members of this administration should face war crimes charges. they should be tried for lying to the american people, lying to the UN, sponsoring offical terrorism (25,000 – 100,000 Iraqi civilians killed), torture, gross negligence, and conspiracy on all charges. the blood of american soldiers and iraqi civilians is on mr. bush’s hands, and st. peter does not miss those heavy stains.
