No Way

I was glad to see Obama honor his commitment to withdraw combat troops from Iraq with dignity. This was war, people died. They will continue to die.
I suppose he could have flown in on an Air Force jet amidst giant flags and patriotic posters, and blathered about our supposed "accomplishments" in Iraq. But of course, there's no way any American leader could be dumb enough to pull something like that.

Backwards Ho!

Concerning Glenn Beck's Washington shit-show:
At least the man has finally displayed some honesty. To quote this king of the reactionary assclowns own words, "I want to bring America back to what it was."
What exactly would you bring back, Glenn?
Segregation? Child labor? Lynching? Exclusionary immigration laws? 12-hour work days? Black lung? Sweat shops? Back-alley abortions? Genocide? Usury? Mysogyny? Amos'an'Andy? Hymie 'an'Abie? "No Irish Need Apply"? Minstrel shows? Blackface? Indentured servitude? Sharecropping? Company stores? Religious quotas? KKK? Monopolies? Censorship? Blacklisting? McCarthyism? Rats in sausage? Tapeworms in diet pills? Burning rivers? . . . .

Speaking Of Drugs . . .

If the Chilean government doesn't send those trapped miners all the pot and whatever other drugs they want, it should be tried for crimes against humanity.

With Legal Drugs, Would 30,000 People Per Yaer O.D.? And Who Gives A Shit If They Did?

The solution to the drug violence in Mexico and along the Mexican-American border is obvious: Legalize the goddamn drugs!
That this has not at least been tried strikes me as absolute proof that the Mexican government and "honest businessmen" on both sides of the border are profitting by the illegal drug trade.

30,00 deaths in the gang wars this year--many of them innocent victims killed in their own homes. What could legalizing drugs possibly produce that is worse than the present situation?

For Starters . . .

There's a head game I like to play. I pretend that I have just landed here from another world and am making fresh observations on the human race. Judging by the current state of things, I belive that my first two recommendations would be:
1.) Legalize drugs
2.) Outlaw religion

Hey, There's No Commandment Against Water-Boarding--So It Must Be All Right

I love it. Obama is being taken to task by many because he doesn't make a public spectacle of his religious beliefs.
George W. Bush started one of the phoniest wars of all time in which thousands were needlessly killed, maimed, and tortured. But he goes to church every Sunday, so he is considered by good Christians to be a righteous man.

Obama doesn't go to church. Therefore, clearly he is a heathen.

"Praise Allah, The Flood Didn't Damage Any Missiles. Pass The Grass."

One of our supposed allies, Pakistan, is currently experiencing an immense natural disaster. Its leadership is so corrupt and uncaring that millions of Pakistani flood victims have no food or water. What they do have plenty of is: Nuclear Missiles.

Pakistan's former president, Ali Bhutto, famously proclaimed, "We'll get the bomb if my people have to eat grass."
Now they scarcely have that. And the U.S. will lead the world in coming to Pakistan's aid while its government officials sit on their hands in their mansions. They know that fear of Muslim extremists taking advantage of the crisis will ensure our help.

These are our "friends" in the Middle East.
