Bush Bookends

The Bush administration now appears to have the two largest crimes of the century bookending his other crimes. The first, early on, was the largest, deadliest crime conducted on U.S. soil, and although the evidence was hauled away within weeks, Bush resisted any investigation for 441 days. As compared to the one day it took to form a federal investigation into how on Earth Janet Jackson's breast got exposed on national TV. The crime going down now would be the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the U.S. 1.1 Trillion dollars has already been shelled out to bailout AIP, Fanny, Fredie and other failing entities, and while another 700 Billion dollars has been put forth as the amount needed to insure confidence in the market, "there are those who say" it could be well over 1.7 Trillion.

Are we having fun yet?

Whether or not you think Mr. Cheney was in on the 9/11 planning, or that it was just coincidence that he was in charge of the massive war games going on that day training for the highjacking of airliners being flown into buildings ("How could anyone have predicted that?"), the Bush administration was all set to take advantage of such a blow. It proceeded to shred the constitution as the best possible means of fighting terror, that and going shopping.

To his credit, Bush was not responsible for the third largest crime of the last eight years. That award goes to Nancy Pelosi who has prevented any and all discussions of impeachment. Since this has, in effect nullified the ability of the congress to prevent the executive branch from abuse of power, it has also, in effect nullified the constitution.

All the while, democrats in congress voting to approve more money to kill people in Iraq just keep singing along.

Sorry I have nothing positive to say this week, other than hang in there and keep calling your congress members.
