Ranting and Venting

You'll see links to news articles, snippets from interviews and other web paraphenalia. This will also be a dumping ground for various stuff that I might need to get off my chest. Hence the Ranting and Venting title.

The United States of George W. Bush

Op Ed News has this good piece aboutBush's power grabs and his incompetence to act as a president.

Missy Comley Beattie of OpEdNews.com writes:
George W. Bush isn't just above the law. He apparently is the law. And that's been his plan all along--to be the Unitary Almighty.

Last week, Karl Rove set us up for what's ahead. His basic "Frightening Americans Course" is popular with neocons, especially when he says that the president wants to know who in America al-Qaeda is calling. This week the president will be touching down to state his case for illegally listening to conversations and intercepting e-mails. Over and over in front of staged audiences containing brown-nosers who will nod and clap, suck up and lick you know what, Bush will tell the public that it's his job to keep us safe. His assurances should fall on disbelieving ears as he sputters, "That's what the people expect of me."

And this is why: Bush has done little to secure our safety. Remember the recent finding of the 9/11 Commission that gave the government lots of big fat FAILURES. The December 5, 2005 report handed down a C+ for "Foreign Policy" in Pakistan. That's got to have sunk to an F after last week when we bombed a house where our intelligence, the Keystone Cops, insisted al-Qaeda's number two was staying. It doesn't matter if we take out the heads; the body will regenerate since every act perpetrated by Americans kills civilians and inspires hatred. Just think "Whack a Mole."
So we have a power loving, incomeptent, fear monger of a president. Jeesh it's worse than Nixon.
