Another Bushy Abandons Ship

Oh sure, there is a big offensive going on in Iraq coinciding with the killing of Zargawi. But do you really think this is more than just a PR campaign. Bush's unannounced visit to Iraq (otherwise he would've blown to sky high) was the featured guest performer on this show. We will be back to business as usual in a couple of days. All this buffoon President can do is give the people bread and circuses. But the circus might explain why the public feels more positive about the outcome of the war. Bush was also buoyed by a judge's decision that backs the President's policy of detaining suspected al Qaeda members indefinitely.

Thailand might not be impressed with Bush's war on terror. They were hit with 40 bombs that detonated throughout the southern part of the country on Thursday. And the Indonesians can expect more attacks now that they've incredibly released a terrorist bomber involved in two attacks, including the Bali bombing in 2002. Abu Bakar Bashir, is the spiritual leader of the al-Qaida-linked Jemaah Islamiyah organization.

The Japanese nuclear reactor mishap Thursday wasn't a leak but it raises questions never the less. Is 35 percent of your energy supply worth a potentially devastating accident? Nuclear power is a time bomb waiting to go off (pardon the analogy). The tradeoff is not worth it. Here in the U.S. there is a major issue with what you do with the nuclear waste from the current reactors. Bush wants to start building nuclear power plants again after decades of opposition.

Another Bushy is abandoning ship. Michael Gerson, one of the president's top policy advisers, wants to get out while the getting is good.

More signs that the economy is slowing. But what do expect when the Fed continues to raise interest rates. And interests will go up because inflation is rising. And inflation is rising because oil prices are rising.

Darfur is winning the Genocide-under-our-noses award. While the UN documents the atrocities and the U.S. refuses to get involved because of previous fiascos, the mass rape and murders go on. What we don't understand is that ignoring evil in Africa has implications for the rest of the world. That was the lesson of the Holocaust.

I hope you are just as tired as I am with our insane criminal justice system in the U.S. A system in where a child molester gets less punishment for molesting an infant than the man who turned him in, who could be given life because a third strike law.
