The Bush's Pain

I just saw Laura Bush's statement that no one feels more pain over the deaths in Iraq than she and her husband. Now my eyes are too full of tears for her and the President's pain to see the keyboard. In fact, I don't even know how I'm typing this! :D

But to get serious for a moment, it seems to me that the problem we're facing is that there is apparently no way to hold this rogue administration to account. They can say up is down, black is white, and Gonzales is credible, but no one is empowered to call them on any of it.

I suspect our only hope is that reality finally overwhelms this bizarre fantasy castle in the sky...and that the rest of us aren't crushed when the castle comes tumbling down.

"Remember when Bill Clinton was president? The federal budget ran an
unprecedented surplus. The national debt was being paid down. The
economy enjoyed unheard of growth. The stock market boomed. Wages
reached record heights. Unemployment was practically nil. The
government withheld only a bare minimum of information from the
public. Citizens were not routinely spied on. Our Bill of Rights
was at least moderately upheld. America was at peace. We were
respected in the world. Our nation's power was seen as a force for
good. Our allies trusted us. And the Republicans swore by God that
if they ran the country, things would be different. Turns out they
weren't kidding."

Here is a true story of an atheist inducted into the Army:
Army: "What do you want on your dog tags, soldier: Protestant,
Catholic, or Jew?"
Atheist: "None. I'm an atheist."
Army: "If you are wounded in battle, who should we call: a minister,
a priest or a rabbi?"
Atheist: "Call a medic!"

Tonight is Sebastian's first soccer practice. He's all excited.

The only drawback is that we've been moved from "Next to the Leaky Sewage Plant Field" to "Crack Whore Drive-By Shooting Field".

I wish I were kidding!
