Why I'm not writing about politics as much.

I used to write more about politics, and I'm sure I will again... but what's keeping from doing it now is simple: The current administration is SO absurd, and SO criminal, that it's too obvious to write about.

And I just LOVE the way people take "responsibility," like the Attorney General did recently over the utterly despicable, planned firings of U.S. Attorney's who didn't toe the Bush line. Apparently to "take responsibility" is simply say "I take responsibility."

Absurd.

Clinton + blowjob + not being honest about blowjob = impeachment.

Bush + fake reasons for war + shredding civil rights + exposing CIA agents + political firings of non-political (after appointment) workers + lying + lying + lying = ...

= ...

= Halliburton taking all their no-bid contract money and moving to Dubai.

Absurd.

Love to all. Even you, Albert O. Cornelison, Jr.

I am so right there with you. It just isn't worth my energy to actively hate Bush and his administration. Just have to make it to Nov '08. Must survive til then. To add insult to injury my hubs is military. Argh!

And God bless your hubby, Evilynmo. I didn't realize this when you posted about his being gone for a while.

I'm almost afraid to ask where he went...

Remember a couple of years ago when the Bush administration equated being against the war was as being anti-troops and anti-American?

Argh.

People think that if they admin that something took place, then the responsibility for the event, or even the event itself, goes away. It distracts the public from the fact that the politician hasn't actually changed anything about their behavior or done anything to reverse the effects of what they did. They know the American public has a very short memory for things they only hear about once or twice on TV, and they take advantage of that fact.
