Rush, Bees, CIA, KGB and other liars

Let us pause...

There, feel better? Had enough Virginia Tech coverage and NRA denials? Not yet - Rush Limbaugh, the sensitive addict, said that the shooter "must be a liberal." In a rambling diatribe, the shooter (who will go nameless like all fame-seeking souls should) supposedly hated the rich - thus he's a liberal. Take a (or another) pill, Rush. Imus was fired for less, you bald tub of crap (which will soon replace Imus's slur as that favored by all non-honkies) "Yo' bald tub'o crap..."

Onto other, more important matters...

Our bees are disappearing. Is anyone surprised that a species we have subjugated for our survival would say, "Oh, to hell with them..." I'm not. Some say it's those fine insecticides, others cellphone signals. I say it's our fate: Our politicians deemed ethanol to be the best bio-fuel (despite very low efficiency and vast oil usage during growth) and, now, the bees needed to pollinate our crops are disappearing. Another Exxon-Mobil conspiracy? Where are they hiding our bees so we can't make bio-fuels? Those evil bastards...

Speaking of evil bastards, has anyone noticed that there are far too many former-agents now running the world? Wasn't this predictable? The first George Bush headed-up the CIA, Russia's Putin was KGB, our current Defense Secretary was CIA... At least Russia is poisoning their former agents, ours' get promoted. Even MacBeth couldn't wash his hands clean: How can we have our government run by those who underminded others for decades?

Yet another week in "The Surge": The Pentagon recently retired the term "long war" while, at the same time, 9 troops killed and 20+ more were injured in another suicide bombing. Good thing we're surging. Pity our poor troops, support them but, please, don't threaten to cut funding for our war machine...

Better yet, pity the poor neocons who should be cons. Richard Perle needs an orange jumpsuit; Alberto "Don't Call Me Speedy" Gonzales needs more room for the nose that can't stop growing.

Next time a sexual predator is on trial and they use his/her old emails to convict, ask why the National Republican Committee's old emails can somehow disappear? Why did Rove have a special application installed on servers to delete his emails via Blackberry?

Can anyone say Abramoff? Oh, sorry, Gonzales was only concerned with voter fraud (i.e. too many minorities voting) while Hillary is running for her life from Obama. McCain needs a mirror; we need a 3rd party.

AG Gonzales sends Domestic Spying back to FISA Court

No Word on Bush's Jail Sentence

In an overdue acknowledgement of the law, the highest law official in the country, Attorney General Alberto "Don't Call Me Speedy" Gonzales is allowing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to do its job and actually oversee foreign intelligence surveillance by the Bush Administration.

In an move that he called "innovative," the AG - who overlooked the Bush Administration's breaking of the 25+ year old FISA law - is returning jurisdiction of all domestic and international snooping to where it belongs. Very big of him...

Not included in the announcement are any details on the Bush Administration's recent use of a signing statement to approve the opening of Americans' mail, nor how many years George W. Bush will serve for breaking the law.

Sadly, this isn't sarcasm or a joke...

Under FISA law, Bush should be serving several years in prison for breaking the law, as well as paying significant fines. But his appointed Attorney General seems unable to actually enforce any existing laws, but rather defy or redefine those that serve his boss's interests.

Wow, what's next? VP Cheney not held to account for his gathering of false intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war? Oh, sorry, that's already happening too... Should we all be rooting for "Scooter" Libby in hopes that he gets a mistrial once his former-boss's dark cloak is revealed, as well as the many misdeeds we don't know about yet?

These are sad days for America. Great times for comedians and dictators; still, sad days indeed.
