WB: Word Salad

Even Hammurabi did better than that. So what happened Monday night was simply and completely a dodge to put off new elections and allow Shrub to claim progress in his big Iraq War booster tour.

Illegal immigration can be solved without firing a shot. Simply begin arresting their employers. Course if you must shoot; simply begin shooting their employers. By the by, I hear it’s a felony to knowingly hire an illegal, but now that can’t be true because I haven’t heard of a single arrest.

Nicely done, Billmon. Nicely done.

While we are in the Global War on Terror, I’d like to say let’s change Rumsfield nickname. Rummy makes him sound like a Caribbean wino, low class, not at the level of our 24 K privatized war fighting machine. I’d like to switch to Rumpy, it sounds more like Grandpa and Grumpy, the combination of these two is a more pleasing picture and about as positive a picture as I can get of the old bureaucrat.

A tour? Is there a bus and what sorts of drunks are they doing on the bus while they’re on tour? It sounds 70s American, wide open hi-ways, cheap gas, and a point of view to spread, Jackson Brown, the Eagles, but something more corporate and Coca Cola friendly.

CheckMate- the robertson remark was broadcast on the 22nd. this govt will let him get away w/ that remark, just like they let ex-prez-in-exile perez openly declare in the miami press that chavez “must die like a dog, because he deserves it.” robertson has the extra protection in that he is both “white” and an agent of divine authority, expressing what is openly acknowledged as a fundamental principle of u.s. foreign policy – the united states of terrorists is commited to ensuring that the resources of latin america remain available for the terrorist economy whenever & however it pleases. the provisions of the USA PATRIOT act, as w/ any fabrication of law, domestic or international, do not apply to those who own this country or work to secure resources on its behalf. besides, this is god’s will. ask snake-handler ashcroft, currently residing at robertson’s regent university, licking his chops as the secular iraq officially goes fundamentalist & dreaming of king jesus giving the eagle a longer leash.
