on second thought
he's a lying sack of shit

the costanza rules of governance
"it's not a lie if you really believe it..."
george costanza
kristof is willing to give president i can bench more than saddam the benefit of the doubt when it comes to lying about wmds. myself, i'm torn--i don't want to believe the president has outrighted lied in order to go to war, regardless of his political affiliation. nonetheless, this president's penchant for dishonesty has become, at the least, a bit disconcerting.

warning: do not operate while under the influence
these pictures are too good to pass up. i'm trying hard not to fall into the "bush is a semi-retarded imbecile" trap, but when i see stuff like this...

maybe if they were hiding wmds in their rectums...
overblown rhetoric that turns out to not be entirely true...
misuse of data to support hysterical rantings...
willful misinterpretation of the facts in order to arrive at a predetermined conclusion...
is dandy andy talking about the bush administration's mendacious presentation of intelligence to bolster their case for war against iraq? no, he's talking about an aids article that was written three years ago. is it me, or does this guy hold a grudge about everything?

if they had wmd's, then maybe, just maybe, we'd intervene
it's been awhile, but i'm back with a vengeance...
apparently, al qaida's been a little more active in liberia than they've been in iraq. but that doesn't seem to bother president tell me what i want to hear and then shut the hell up:
Charles Taylor [the illegitimate leader of liberia]--surprise!--has harbored members of Al Qaeda, who use his diamond-smuggling operation to launder money.
the cynical, hypocritical spew that emanates from this administration regarding human rights is beyond disgusting. apparently american lives are worth risking only when a country is "swimming in a sea of oil" (paraphrase courtesy of good ole wolfie wolfowitz).
but more than anything else, stories like this just make me sad--sad for liberians for having to live in such an effed up place; sad for americans for not giving two shits about the suffering of others; and sad for all of humanity for being able to inflict such brutality on our own fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters.

well, it's either a germ warfare trailer or a really loaded rv
experts are now disputing how "smoking" the gun of germ warfare trailers really is. of course, given the bush administration's history (remember those centrifuge tubes?), we all knew this would happen eventually. so it could go either way, which most things in life can. but, the pertinent question is: did these trailers present an imminent threat to american lives? i wouldn't expect an answer from the administration anytime soon.
