Stand up all victims of oppression

It's hilarious watching the news today. Stories that a year ago or even six months ago would have been blasted across the front pages in 72 point bold are buried on page A17. Stories about the economy are suddenly hopeful despite abyssmal numbers and no real sign of recovery. Stories about the war are non-existent. Civilians killed in Afghanistan? It's the cost of war, not a big deal. Did you hear about Michelle Obama's arms? The commander of U.S. forces fired for making the administration look bad? Nothing to see here, let's talk about Wanda Sykes or Rush or anything else. Unemployment a full point higher than anticipated by the eggheads in the White House? Actually higher than projected worst case scenarios without the stimulus? Shhhhhhh, did you hear that Miss California was on Dobson's Fascist Follies? Barry is cutting money for enlistment boinuses and recruitment in the military while he expands operations in Afghanistan. He's plannin to wrap things up in a year or so and then let the military have bake sales to buy bombers!

Barry sends ACORN to picket corporate leaders in anticipation of his meeting with them and then tells them, "I'm the only tingh between you an the pitchforks." Steve Rattner tells lenders that if they don't go along with teh Administration that he will use the White House Press Corps to bury you!! Wanda Sykes delivers a piece written by Axelrod to revive the Rush-mania and the media obediantly drops to their knees and opens wide.

The sickest to me is the Afghanistan debacle. Wanna know what realy happened? This administration is really Stalinist by nature so they pulled a classic Soviet move only with the Carter naive twist: they slaughtered a hundred civilians so they could fire the guy in charge and look like they care - see we will look after you - while still showing how bloodthristy they can be. See there's always a little doubt in the back of the Afghans minds. It's just disgusting and it will all come out or the bodies will start piling up. Just watch.
