They Are All Quite Mad

George II, pretender to the Oval Office, continues to spout his long disproven claims of war justification and specious charges against whomever questions his holy veracity as if there is any vestige of validity left to his tortured “logic.” This never actually elected, supposed leader of the free world has public temper tantrums and fits of pique at the dais when thwarted on any aspect of his neocon agenda.


Dick and George, neither of whom had the guts to personally go to war in a cause in which they claimed to believe, without a qualm of conscience, condone and promote torture and pass themselves off as heroic protectors of our nation and twenty-four percent of the populace, an arguable majority of which profess to be followers of an humble Jew who eschewed violence and cruelty for peace and love, believe it.


See Dick and George dissemble. Pretend they are mature, intelligent and mentally stable adults.



Media shills treat Cheney/Bush obviously false public statements as if they have actual merit and commit air time to discussing them while real news swirls in the aether about their sprayed coifs with scant or no attention. Trivial election season inanities and deliberately misinterpreted candidate statements headline every news show.


Network commentators and predictors of political future outcomes, ala William Krystal, have an accuracy percentage in the single digits. Yet they are accorded the title, “Political Experts.” Cable and broadcast panels of supposedly intelligent people in the know on shows such as Hardball, scream at one another like unruly children. Bill O'Reilly yells at guests that they are liars when they disagree with him and cuts off their mikes in mid-sentence.


Britt Hume stares into the camera, looking for the world like Lurch from the “Adams Family” TV show, and proclaims global warming a hoax on the flimsiest of false facts based on total ignorance of science born of a right-wing ideology he is committed to furthering while playing the part of objective journalist.


In the face of seventy to eighty percent disapproval of the executive branch group of psychos and the alarmingly calamitous direction in which they are driving the nation, congress seems unable or unwilling to blow the whistle and yell stop!.


They are all quite mad and we are all living in an insane asylum.
