Strange Rumblings...

When watching the circus that is the American political system I have become accustomed to seeing all kinds of bizzaro-world things happen. Lots of Orwellian war is peace thinking, lots of "hey, we're the home of freedom so let's erode our freedoms at home and in the workplace" kind of kink, lots of 2 + 2 = 5 logic.
But the last few weeks have really hurt my head.

Dick Cheney, the V-P of the corporation to the south of us (unless you live in Windsor, where it is to the north of you... weird, huh?) has hit his head or is swallowing Percs or munching on shrooms or something.Dick Cheney has taken it upon himself to debate the merits of torture with John McCain... Remember - Dick has never been in the military, stayed the hell away from Viet Nam and is working for a guy who avoided the military due to his family connections. McCain, on the other hand, spent five and a half years in a pow camp - this dude was tortured, beaten, starved and pissed on. For Christ's sakes, the guy can't reach above his own fucking head.

Weird.

How big does your ego have to be, how large are your balls, how stoned or insane or demented or just plain delusional does one have to be to argue the merits of torture with someone who has been fucking tortured?

For more on Dick and McCain and the sad, sad, sad debate read this and this.

Strange days, indeed.

Also, Dick and Dubya keep repeating the "we do not torture" mantra.
Maybe the Fifth Estateshould be force fed into the American mindscape... The folks at the CBC did a fine job exposing a fermenting pile of shit and vomit and put in on some fine china for all of us to wonder at.

We should thank the stars every day for what we have in the CBC, by the way. The same night they broadcast this incredibly disturbing doc, Nightline NBC was blowing the lid wide open on the John Lennon murder... using audio interviews with Mark David Chapman from about fifteen years ago. And never once questioning the official story. Nice.

Maybe that's a clue into the major difference between Us and Them... They get pablum, we get a five-course meal served up in a really nice restaurant.

Hmmm... Things to ponder.
