War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
White House colleagues were stunned, but not lacking for the day’s response. “We are puzzled. It is sad. This is not the Scott we knew,” said Dana Perino, the current press secretary who was first hired by McClellan as a deputy. Later in the day, she relayed the reaction of Bush himself: “He’s puzzled, he…
In the waning days of Decider George’s grip on reality, events and disclosures reveal just how bad the past nearly-eight years have been — an ugly, multi-generational inheritance. If one is heartless and puts aside the shredding of the US Constitution, the legislative disaster for global warming and environmental issues, the political Karl Rove bullshit,…
Just a couple of news items that caught our eye this morning: I think there is so much that is disturbing in the documents, the fact that they lied to us to begin with — and you know, when you are lied to and you see discrepancies, it just makes you more concerned and confused…
As another Memorial Day three-day weekend draws to a close, the oratories reported given across the country by anyone remotely attached to Decider George’s government makes one want to spew junks. In a time of war, especially with the Iraqi war so widely held to be a disaster, “a debacle,” a slaughterhouse of errors, any…
Irony can sometimes be just the black residue of a lie. Since Sept. 11, 2001, Decider George has spent US peoples’ money like there was literally no tomorrow. And most of this cash flowed to the Middle East in pursuit of the perfect war. Now the out-stretched hand comes beckoning. This would be absolutely hilarious…
Here it is Friday before the famous Memorial Day weekend — once the party-igniting start to a summer of beer and chicks in halter tops — but now it’s on to $4 a gallon gas and a world shattered by shit-heads in power. One of the most pointed writers/performers is Garrison Keillor, of “A Prairie…
As chin-strap, ramrod-retro, surge-happy US Army Gen. David Petraeus slips through his Senate confirmation hearings this morning, Iraq is slipping further into the surreal. Last month, Decider George picked Petraeus out of a crowd, a total stranger, (ironic sarcasm, we have you know!) and then nominated him to replace Navy Adm. William J. Fallon as…
Christians in the land of Islam. Not only did the holier-than-thou armies of the West invade Iraq, but the religion’s hypocrisy was sucked along with it. Trapped in an inferno, US GIs perform like the false, twisted logic that put them there. An American sniper has been sent home from Iraq for using a copy…
Decider George shames all US peoples. He couldn’t grasp his ass with both hands. And his hypocrisy makes one suffer enough to shit a brick: SHARM EL SHEIK, Egypt — President Bush said Saturday that “it breaks my heart” that the Palestinian people have been unable to establish an independent homeland and he vowed anew…
Is Decider George’s government heartless and cruel at every level? Apparently, the whole shebang is not worth a shit: WASHINGTON (AP) — An internal e-mail message written by a Veteran’s Affairs Department employee suggested that the agency avoid giving a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder for veterans and instead consider a diagnosis that might result…
