FOOTBALL IS LIFE? BAH! HUMBUG!

According to Cheney's rosy scenario, the Bush-led policies have, in the past five years, infested democracy, sic Bushocracy, into at least four Middle Eastern nations. Thus, thanks to Bushocracy it's spreading like wildfire throughout the region. The audience rose and applauded.

He spoke in mostly simplified gibberish of extremely complex situations, with the preponderance of the truth left out. From Herr Obst Rove on down, this regime is masterful in its non-communicative ability to mention laundry lists of "informational" one-liners, usually at best half-truths, not elaborate on anything at all, yet get the audience to infer by these mere statements that the regime has accomplished, or shall actually do, something of positive note.

To their credit, some of people in the seats were not rising to hail Dark Lord's ideological baloney. These were older individuals who could remember the horrors of the Shoah, and youths who are too smart for Cheney. The major points that most of the others seemed to be missing are that it is not the province of the U.S.A. to ram democracy down the throats of the rest of the world's sovereign nations, nor is democracy the solution for all nations.

And who in the hell are Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice and George W. Bush to think they are the chosen few who should lead the Planet Earth to total democratic unity? Considering that they act far more like totalitarian dictatorial despotic nabobs, possessed of the most callous disregard for human life and suffering, it certainly isn't this gang.

I checked out AIPAC's website. It seemed innocuous enough on the surface, but that worried me a bit. They have no representatives on college campuses, yet there is a strong push to recruit Jewish college students. Why are there no AIPAC people on campuses? Do the schools not want them slinking through the student body?

Or, could it be AIPAC would prefer to avoid the scrutiny of a background check any college would require of an organization requesting bona fide on-campus status?

Between Dark Lord Cheney crawling out to face this group, their overenthusiastic approval of his every utterance, and the huge emphasis on college recruitment sans school sanction, AIPAC has all the earmarks of a Jewish version of the Federalist Society.

The more I scanned the AIPAC website, the stronger the sense that this organization was very big on pressing us into a war footing with Iran. The Dark Lord's speech, which came on the heels of a typically bellicose speech by John Robert Bolton the previous day, was nothing less than a call to arms against Iran. He even included an assurance that the Bush regime had "all the options on the table" to keep Iran in line with whatever the U.S. and Israel demanded.

What's worse, this miniscule segment of the Jewish community gets so much focus in the news that to many Christians, Muslims and others they represent all Jews. Just as the small minority of radical Muslim fanatics become the face of Islam to the uninitiated, so too do these hardcore Right-wing AIPAC members become the face of Judaism.

It wasn't all that long ago that these same putzes used that same "all the options" phrase to let Saddam Hussein know he had better give up his weapons of mass destructions"

So, here we go again, the climate of fear over a situation that is non-existent mixed with rumblings of war to satisfy small interest groups, as an illegal coup d'etat continues along its path of imperialistic Total World Domination.

Meanwhile, King George XLIII and Queen Laura were in India and Pakistan screwing with the delicate balance of worldwide nuclear policy, bringing us ever closer to the brink of total annihilation. I wonder if you caught any of his diarrhea of the mouth. Since all of the photo and sound ops came in the middle of night, America time, we weren't privy to most of them. But here are a few choice tidbits of which I happened to make note:

"Democracy""

"Freedom""
