Here's Some Funny Stuff

Truth was never told DURING Bush's reign of error, why should it be told after? This is rich.

Thomas M. DeFrank writes in the New York Daily News:
"President Bush and his truest believers are about to launch their final
campaign - an eye-popping, half-billion-dollar drive for the Bush presidential
library.

"Eager to begin refurbishing his tattered legacy, the President
hopes to raise $500 million to build his library and a think tank at Southern
Methodist University in Dallas. . . .

"The half-billion target is double what Bush raised for his 2004 reelection and dwarfs the funding of other presidential libraries. But Bush partisans are determined to have a massive pile of endowment cash to spread the gospel of a presidency that for now gets poor marks from many scholars and a majority of Americans.

"The legacy-polishing centerpiece is an institute, which several Bush insiders called the Institute for Democracy. Patterned after Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Bush's institute will hire conservative scholars and 'give them money to write papers and books favorable to the President's policies,' one Bush insider said."

The George Bush presidency and a think tank. What do those two have in common?

Nothing.

As Atrios likes to say, this has been simple answers to simple questions

One Rat Getting Out

Philip Zelikow is getting out while the getting is good. Just look at what he worked on.

Nov 27, 2006 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Philip Zelikow, one of U.S.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's closest advisers on Iraq and the Middle
East, plans to resign his post, a State Department official said on
Monday.

Zelikow, who was counselor to Rice and had an office down the
hall from the top U.S. diplomat, was involved in many of the major issues facing
the United States. In addition to Iraq and the Middle East, he helped
craft U.S. policy on terror detainees held without trial at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere.

He was also executive director of the commission
investigating the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States.

"....executive director...commission....September 11, 2001..."

This is why I brought this up. Zelikow was in charge of the staffers of the 9-11 commission. Do you know what the staffers do? They do all the investigative work and present stuff to the commission members. Do you think that it could be just the least bit possible that the man in charge of the staffers could also control what got investigated?

Remember this guy's name. He's going to be testifying in the future. He knows where the bodies are buried and who fucking buried them.

Poppy's Got A Case of the Wa, Wa's

People who work in the construction field must become thick skinned if they know what's good for them. Humiliation always awaits a worker who has paper thin skin, so to speak. That's why George Bush, the elder, would never have made it in the construction industry.

From inside the U.A.E., a tiny but friendly nation to America comes this:

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates: Former U.S. president George H.W. Bush was forced here Tuesday into a defense of his son, current U.S. President George W. Bush, whose Mideast policies were derided by a hostile audience.

"My son is an honest man," Bush told Gulf Arabs attending a leadership conference here. "He is working hard for peace. It takes a lot of guts to get up and tell a father about his son in those terms when I just told you the thing that matters in my heart is my family."

Bush added: "How come everybody wants to come to the United States if the United States is so bad?"

What did the audience in Abu Dhabi say to offend?

"We do not respect your son. We do not respect what he's doing all over the world," a woman audience member bluntly told Bush after his keynote speech.

Bush appeared stunned as the audience of young business leaders whooped and whistled in approval.

The elitist mentality is oh so offended, just so shocked, incredulous even, when someone dares bring up, you know, "reality".

The retired president had just finished a folksy address on leadership by telling the audience how deeply hurt he feels when his son the president is criticized.

"This son is not going to back away," Bush said, his voice quivering. "He's not going to change his view because some poll says this or some poll says that, or some heartfelt comments from the lady who feels deeply in her heart about something. You can't be president of the United States and conduct yourself if you're going to cut and run. This is going to work out in Iraq. I understand the anxiety. It's not easy."

Folks like George, the elder, if found working in construction, would be called wa, wa's, in mockery and derision. A baby. George, the elder, acted like a big baby in Abu Dhabi, in front of a group of people who know what's what.

Yes, yes, I understand the dad thing. Taking up for your child is natural and I suppose normal. The point we need to take away from this little Poppy anecdote is the total disattachment, the cluelessness of men named Bush when it comes to comprehending how others regard American reckless actions in foreign lands.

With apologies to James Brown.....Poppy's Gotta' A Brand New Wa, Wa.

Ahh...the Solitude of Rant

The dust has settled and now the Dems have control of Congress. The conservative movement(or bowel movement, I can't tell those two apart)is over. After America pulled the handle on the political toilet and flushed, what will happen next?

Barring the Second Coming of Christ, we shouldn't see a conservative majority in a generation. That's the good news.

While I don't believe the Dems will venture off into uncharted territory requiring boldness, I do think they will be too self-conscious, especially in front of the media, to exercise serious leadership.

But here is what I do know. The deregulation and consolidation of media interests since 1980 has led in 2006 to a fourth estate crisis. Those who work for these huge interests...writers, TV talking heads, blubbering radio nuts...you know who I'm talking about...all of these "news" people must do the bidding of their bosses or else they will be kicked out of the "kewl kidz" clubhouse.

So what is it their bosses want of them? I thought you would never ask. Their bosses want them to NOT, repeat NOT, offend conservatives or the Republican Party. Why? Because these bosses know which party hands over more of the keys to the media kingdom. Can't offend the hand that feeds you tender deregulation morsels now, can ya'?

Conservatives believe in the God of the market. What I lovingly call "The Supply and Demand" God. All hail his name. At the heart of this religion is the belief that the state should just stand aside, let go and let God "work his wonderful way" in the news and media industry. This belief has led to consolidation of information delivering systems in our country as well as the world at large. Consolidation which places more and more avenues of information delivery into the hands of fewer and fewer corporate hands. Thus, news narratives can be controled much more easily, let alone the financial bottom lines of these behemoths.

Summarizing then, I believe the information delivery agents(news anchors, TV heads,typical assholes) will begin a serious and relentless attack on the new Dem majority. Indeed, it has already started and the Dems don't take control until January.

The same cocksuckers(apologies to fellatio participants everywhere) who couldn't ask Commander Crashcup a serious question for 5 full years without pissing in their pants, will now, miraclulously, find their voices again, just like in the Clinton's Penis days.

Patrick Leahy, incoming chairman of the judiciary, will become, before your very eyes, a senile old fart who needs to step down. Nancy Pelosi, new Speaker, will be constantly critized about her hair and clothing with deep discussions about whether she's really just another cunt-bitch, like Hillary, or not. Ted Kennedy's red nose should be another point of contention, and of course, it should be. Russell Feingold? Just another cheese-eating surrender monkey, I mean Christ, what do they make in Wisconsin, huh? huh?

In conclusion, Americans, despite the shilling for the White House and the GOP done by the MSM, collectively raised their middle fingers and rejected these criminals in the election. Perhaps it is time now for Americans to face the media pricks and do a Dick Cheney. No, no, not shoot 'em in the face....just tell'em like the Dick told Pat Leahy...go fuck yourself. Too harsh? Helllll no.

Bipartisanship? That's a Big Fuck You

From the Guardian

You've got to remember, whatever the Democrats say, it's Bush still calling the shots. He believes it's a matter of political will. That's what [Henry] Kissinger told him. And he's going to stick with it," a former senior administration official said. "He [Bush] is in a state of denial about Iraq. Nobody else is any more. But he is. But he knows he's got less than a year, maybe six months, to make it work. If it fails, I expect the withdrawal process to begin next fall."

The "last push" strategy is also intended to give Mr Bush and the Republicans "political time and space" to recover from their election drubbing and prepare for the 2008 presidential campaign, the official said. "The Iraq Study Group buys time for the president to have one last go. If the Democrats are smart, they'll play along, and I think they will. But forget about bipartisanship. It's all about who's going to be in best shape to win the White House.

The official added: "Bush has said 'no' to withdrawal, so what else do you have? The Baker report will be a set of ideas, more realistic than in the past, that can be used as political tools. What they're going to say is: lower the goals, forget about the democracy crap, put more resources in, do it."

"...Forget about bipartisanship..." Truer words have not been spoken. The pitiful commentary on Iraq must include the real possibility that the whole ordeal was a political event. Families of victims must feel very comforted to know this, huh?

It's quite remarkable when Americans have to get their latest real news from the United Kingdom's Guardian. Well...maybe not.

The Kewl Kidz

No wonder Karl has the lapdogs all atwitter about Nancy Pelosi and Jane Harmon and John Murtha.....George is about to come apart at the seams. You think the calm leadership election the Dems in the House just had was a story deserving of many hours of cable TV coverage from Margaret Werner on PBS pretending to be Katie Couric pretending to be Kyra Philips? And then Noron O'Donnell giggled and obnoxiously laughed aloud along with all her Kewl Kidz buddies on MSNBC. All in creating news where no news really was. But they are sooo kewl, aren't they?

Here's the news:

Tucked in to the bottom of an article in the New York Daily News about the Hoyer/Murtha election was this little tidbit:

For all the focus on the Democrats, a former Bush official who predicts a coming bloodbath between the White House and disgruntled conservative Republicans brushed off the Pelosi-Hoyer tussle as much ado about process.

"The Democrats are the sideshow," he said. "Bush self-destructing is the big story in town."
The reporters, Tom DeFrank and Ken Bazinet, always have very, very good inside GOP sources.

Link

It's all becoming clear to George. He's in quite a fix. What to do?

Wow. "Bush self-destructing is the big story in town." You see, it's the big story in DC but not on TV news channels, oh no, Margaret and Noron are just, like, keeping it real, when they giggle and tell us Pelosi thinks she's all that. That's the Kewl Kidz news.

President coming apart at the seams? Hell, that's not news. Happens every freaking day. Fracture in GOP looming? No, no, move along, nothing to see here.

Quicksdraw McCain

The Straight Talking Express Quicksdraw McCain speaks some straight talk.

"They're simply not complying with the law. It's incredible."

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) raised eyebrows yesterday with that comment regarding the Bush administration, made before a crowd of several hundred at a Washington, D.C. event.

At issue is a report on climate change that Congress requires every ten years. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is responsible for producing the document, last filed a report in 2000. A new report -- the first to be filed by the Bush administration -- was due in November 2004, but to date the agency has not done so.

"When you get to that degree of obfuscation, then you get a little depressed," McCain said, according to several attendees. McCain's comments were also reported by the trade daily Environment and Energy.

Obfuscation...muddle, perplex, cloud. So is Quicksdraw saying that the Bush administration has muddled the situation so badly that it is all depressing him? Yes, I believe that is what he is saying.

Well is the Straight One correct? Report was due in Nov. 04...it's now....let me look....yeah....Nov 06. So that's only 2 years late. Hell, what's the rush? It's not like the planet depended on any of this stuff.

Constitutional Crisis Part 2

Now Pat Leahy weighs in....

Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), who will chair the Senate Judiciary Committee next year, asked the Justice Department to release two newly acknowledged documents, which set U.S. policy on how terrorism suspects are detained and interrogated.

The CIA recently acknowledged the existence of the documents in response to a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union.

The first is a directive President Bush signed giving the CIA authority to establish detention facilities outside the United States and outlining interrogation methods that may be used against detainees.

The second is a 2002 memo from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel to the CIA's general counsel regarding interrogation methods that the spy agency may use against al-Qaeda leaders.

"The American people deserve to have detailed and accurate information about the role of the Bush administration in developing the interrogation policies and practices that have engendered such deep criticism and concern at home and around the world," Leahy wrote Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales.

Leahy asked Gonzales to produce any revisions and analyses of those and other memos. He also requested agency documents that interpret the scope of interrogation practices permitted and prohibited by the Detainee Treatment Act or the Military Commissions Act.

The Justice Department will respond appropriately, spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said yesterday.

But he added that "it is vital to protect national security secrets," particularly in sensitive programs overseen by the intelligence committees. Roehrkasse also said the department will weigh whether the documents being sought fall under the category of confidential deliberations, including legal advice.

Wouldn't want them bad terr'rists knowing that we'll torture them if we capture them.....oops...too late. They already know, don't they? But you see in a neo-cons mind, if terr'rists know how we torture, then they will start practicing how to withstand waterboarding and jumper cable interrogations. Right? And then our torturing techniques will be ineffective and endanger our national security. See how it all fits together? Me either.

"Confidential deliberations". Here is the crux of the matter. It isn't that we care anything about terr'rists practicing how to beat waterboarding. It is that Americans might find out about those "deliberations" that were all in direct violation of the Constitution. It isn't "national security" the cons are protecting....it's their own asses.

Oh well, Constitutional crisis is on the march. Nixon deja vu all over again Yogi.

Constitutional Crisis Part 1

From Dan Froomkin comes this bit of actual news.

Dan Eggen writes in The Washington Post: "Critics of U.S. detention policies warned yesterday that a brief legal document filed by the Justice Department this week raises the possibility that any of the millions of immigrants living in the United States could be subject to indefinite detention if they are accused of ties to terrorist groups.

"In a six-page motion filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Justice Department lawyers argue that an anti-terrorism law approved by Congress last month allows the government to detain any foreign national declared to be an enemy combatant, even if he is arrested and imprisoned inside the United States."

Eggen wrote in Tuesday's Washington Post: "After years of denials, the CIA has formally acknowledged the existence of two classified documents governing aggressive interrogation and detention policies for terrorism suspects, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.

"But CIA lawyers say the documents -- memos from President Bush and the Justice Department -- are still so sensitive that no portion can be released to the public. . . .

"The ACLU describes the first as a 'directive' signed by Bush governing CIA interrogation methods or allowing the agency to set up detention facilities outside the United States. . . .

"The second document is an August 2002 legal memo from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel to the CIA general counsel. The ACLU describes it as 'specifying interrogation methods that the CIA may use against top al-Qaeda members.'"

In the upcoming days of Democratic investigations into Bush's crimes, this information will be fought over. The neo-cons will scream "national security" as America moves closer to a Constitutional crisis, not unlike the Nixon days.

Information about secret prisons where people are renditioned and then tortured under Bush's ordered new "interrogation techniques" will be denied by Abu Gonzales and the rest of Bush's crime syndicate because they are oh "so sensitive". How would release of this information endanger national security? It wouldn't, but that is the fight the neo-cons are asking for and I'm afraid it's the fight that America is going to be forced into having.

And did you notice it's not just terrorists anymore, it's immigrants now. I wonder how long before Halliburton starts working on those internment camps that make Michelle Malkin all tingly inside. Gotta' put all those immigrants somewhere.

Pat and the Demons.....In His Head

Christians, Muslims and Jews, have a very exclusive "special" group mentality? A kind of, "we're in, you're not" groupthink? Well, one of my special favorites tells us why....

A viewer wrote in to ask Pat Robertson a question

Why [do] evangelical Christians tell non-Christians that Jesus (God) is the only way to Heaven? Those who are Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, etc. already know and have a relationship with God. Why is this? It seems disrespectful.

Robertson replied that it is not all disrespectful because all other religions really just worship "demonic powers."

No. They don't have a relationship. There is the god of the Bible, who is Jehovah. When you see L-O-R-D in caps, that is the name. It's not Allah, it's not Brahma, it's not Shiva, it's not Vishnu, it's not Buddha. It is Jehovah God. They don't have a relationship with him. He is the God of all Gods. These others are mostly demonic powers. Sure they're demons. There are many demons in the world.

Pat talks directly with Jehovah, so it's not like he knows all about this demon stuff through secondhand informers. No sir.

But isn't it good to know that our Muslim neighbors and friends along with any Hindus or Buddhists out there are worshipping demons? Helpful isn't it?

And take note of how similar Pat sounds here to Bush and his enablers talking about Democrats. Only Republicans love America, Dems have sided with the demon terr'rists. Great stuff.

Can't Report Anything Anymore

This is how unaccountable the current administration has become.

the Washington Post has been suing the Bush administration for access to vice president Cheney's visitor logs. A couple weeks ago, a judge ordered the Secret Service (which keeps the logs) to release them -- or explain why, under current law, certain portions could be withheld.

this is how the Justice lawyers describe the apocalyptic result of releasing Cheney's visitor logs: "Disclosure. . . could reveal an ever-expanding mosaic that would allow observers to chart the course of vice presidential contacts and deliberations in unprecedented fashion."

Now I'm no lawyer, however, I don't believe you need to be a lawyer to understand that what the Justice Dept lawyers are saying is not workable, UNLESS, the executive branch is no longer going to answer to anyone, which could be where we have arrrived.

This thinking says we can't know ANYTHING about ANYBODY in the executive because any tidbit of knowledge, put together with other tidbits would make it possible to "..chart.....deliberations...in unprecedented fashion." Hell, that's the job description(at least, used to be) of journalists. Well, sorry guys, you just can't report on anything. We're sorry, it's just too dangerous. Charting and all.

How I Did

My predictions were close. The Akron School Levy passed, that was a surprise. The Dems did annihilate the GOP in Columbus and Sherrod Brown wasted Mike "Dweeb" DeWine. No slots in Ohio and no smoking either. But hell, at least the minimum wage passed in spite of the Akron Beacon Journal's editorial against it.

Nationally I was just about spot on with the House but can you believe it? Dems took the Senate too. Lieberman did win and Rumsfeld did resign like I predicted but Robert Gates is the new Defense pick.

It actually was a sweeping win for Dems and a death blow to the neo-con right. Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster God for that.

But as I type away here I must tell you I'm still glowing over my prediction that Arizona's own J.D. Hayworth(what a dipshit) went down to glorious defeat.

Maybe there is hope after all......ummm, on second thought, strike that.

Prediction* for Tuesday

Bluester has looked into his crystal ball, and yes, that's right it was cloudy. Did ya' ever notice that about crystal balls, they are always fucking cloudy. Nothing fucking crystal clear about them. But we push ahead even when clouds are all we see.

Good news in Ohio though. Looks like a pretty clean sweep in Columbus and Brown to the Senate. I'm looking for Tom Sawyer to take out the Intelligent Design queen Fink in the state school board race. I mean, if we don't do something next thing you know the kids will be coming home telling you about the "controversy" concerning the earth rotating around the sun.I digress. I believe most all the school and additional funding levies will fail. I'm personally voting no on all the state iniatives except the minimum wage one.

On the smoking and anti-smoking initiatives, I just believe the local people can decide what they want. I don't see the state's interest in either one of these. If tobacco remains legal, the people can decide business by business, location by location. No state laws needed.

On the gambling one, while I've been known to pull the handle once in awhile myself, I certainly don't want what they are offering here. I don't trust the race track special interests, not one bit. Gambling for Ohio should be legalized, only not this way.

Now on to the national scene. Special note about Jon Kyl the imposter from Arizona pretending to be Senator. His race has tightened and so has the race of odious J.D. Hayworth, also known as Hayseed. These two clowns from the Republican crime scene have gotten their tits caught in the Bush/Iraq ringer and may not make it out the other side. If Dems landslide their asses are history.

Look for Lieberman to beat Lamont because Republicans will vote for Lieberman. After the election look for Bush to accept Rumsfeld's resignation, appoint Lieberman Sec of Defense and then the Connecticut governor will appoint a Republican to replace Lieberman in the Senate. Longshot but don't be surprised if it happens.

All in all, the Dems will take just about 30 seats in the House and gain 4-6 seats in the Senate. Look for serious voter and recount troubles in Missouri, Montana and probably Virginia and Ohio too.

* All predictions are predicated on the status quo. If missiles are flying into Iran tomorrow morning and/or Los Angeles is fucking incinerated early Tuesday, for example, all predictions would be rendered null and void. Bluester does not guarantee results, consult your doctor if symptoms persist.......blah fucking blah.

This Shit CAN't Be Made Up Part 2

The President of the National Evangelical Association, representing 30 million "gospel" believers, and a close friend of the Chimp's, now admitting to homosexual relations with a paid gay escort. Going price was $200-300. It was over a three year period and methamphetamines were involved. Oh and yeah, Ted Haggert is married and has 5 children. Family values and all that.

A sudden about-face in the scandal facing New Life Church's pastor.

After Pastor Ted Haggard went public Wednesday night denying allegations of a homosexual affair, senior church officials told KKTV 11News Thursday evening, Pastor Ted Haggard has admitted to some of the claims made by a former male escort. The church's Acting Senior Pastor, Ross Parsley, tells KKTV 11 News that Pastor Haggard has admitted to some of the indiscretions claimed by Mike Jones, but not all of them.

Haggert, close to the Chimp, closer than Dobson even, has spoken continually against gays and homosexuality and marriage for gays and on and on. In his New Life cult he created kind of a "detox with Jesus" type of program to get gays straight.

This Ted Haggert story should clear issues up for conscientious conservatives. Church and state separation MUST be kept sacred in the USA. I don't care what old Ted does and with whom.(if it's consensual). But having guys like this(and Foley), twisted up, psychological wrecks, advocating anything in front of the president, the house or the American people is unacceptable.

Christ, can you believe it? The fucking president of the National Association of Evangelicals. Think the wingnuts will be downhearted when they here the news?

This Shit CAN'T Be Made Up Part 3

This is better than Swaggart and Jimmy Baker.

Jones claimed Haggard paid him to have sex nearly every month over three years. He said he advertised himself as an escort on the Internet and was contacted by a man who called himself Art, who snorted methamphetamine before their sexual encounters to heighten his experience

"Hi Mike, this is Art," one call began, according to the station. "Hey, I was just calling to see if we could get any more. Either $100 or $200 supply."

A second message, left a few hours later, began: "Hi Mike, this is Art, I am here in Denver and sorry that I missed you. But as I said, if you want to go ahead and get the stuff, then that would be great. And I'll get it sometime next week or the week after or whenever."

Oh my, drugs. What a glorious display of evangelical godliness and moral values. Sure glad he's not like those heathen Democrats, you know, those godless liberals.

Haggard, 50, was appointed president of the evangelicals association in March 2003. He has participated in conservative Christian leaders' conference calls with White House staffers and lobbied members of Congress last year on US Supreme Court appointees after Sandra Day O'Conner announced her retirement.

This is the type of guy that has the ear of the White House. This is the type of "values" proponent who advises for Supreme Court nominees. And in spite of his partial confession this is how his followers react.

Members of Haggard's 14,000-member megachurch were stunned.

"It's political, right before the elections," said Brian Boals, a New Life member for 17 years.

Church member E.J. Cox, 25, called the claims "ridiculous."

"People are always saying stuff about Pastor Ted," she said. "You just sort of blow it off. He's just like anyone else in the public eye."

And for irresistable snark, the phrase, "You just sort of blow it off" , umm....stands out like a sore thumb or sore whatever, don't you think?

This Shit CAN'T Be Made Up Part 1

Don't miss the sentences at the bottom, you'll just love them.

From 9News in Denver:

A gay man and admitted male escort claims he has had an ongoing sexual relationship with a well-known Evangelical pastor from Colorado Springs.

Mike Jones told '9 Wants to Know' Investigative Reporter Paula Woodward he has had a "sexual business" relationship with Pastor Ted Haggard for the past three years.

Haggard is the founder and senior leader of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs. The church has 14,000 members.

He is also president of the National Association of Evangelicals, an organization that represents millions of people.
Haggard is married with five children and an outspoken critic of gay marriage....

Jones started talking to 9 Wants to Know two months ago. He claims Haggard has been paying him for sex over the past three years, even though Haggard preaches that homosexuality is a sin.

Jones also claims Haggard used methamphetamine in his presence on several occasions....

Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw profiled Haggard in 2005 in a series on mega-churches. Haggard was also listed by Time magazine as one of the 25 most influential Evangelicals in America last year.

Christian evangelical leader Ted Haggard... one of the nation's most influential evangelical Christians, whose overstuffed agenda includes a weekly conference call to the White House.>"We have direct access," says Mr. Haggard, senior pastor of the giant New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo. "I can call [Mr. Goeglein], he'll take my concern to the president and get back to me in 24 hours."

Bluester posts this with only one comment. I know this isn't as good as Bush telling lies about Kerry but...what the hell.

All That Matters to the Cult

While our own military issues report after report clearly demonstrating that the military indicator is lurching towards the "Chaos" side, the Commander in Chief, the Decider, the Resolutely Tough War President says this yesterday:

Bush credited Rumsfeld with overseeing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while overhauling the military. "I'm pleased with the progress we're making," the president said.

It is hard to believe, I know, but there it is. You see his words are all that matter to the deceived. If the Leader, if the Decider says he's pleased, the neo-con choir ensemble can only sing "Amen, so be it, oh great and resolute Leader."

No longer should the Decider's words even be considered truthful or accurate in any way, but yet, 1/3 of the voting public, those who can't decide what they hate the most, abortions or gays(maybe it is only themselves?) don't care anything about truth, reality or how many "precious lives" are being lost to neo-con militarism. Oh no, our Leader, no, God's Leader, says we are making progress. That's good enough.

And the kicker? These same mind controled folks think N.Korea has a cult problem with their leader. Truly, this stuff can't be made up.
