OVERWHELMED

There are so many things that are so crazy in the world of politics I almost feel stupid trying to nail down one thing to write about. The list keeps getting longer and longer and I honestly don't understand why even the Repub controlled everything is managing to not react. The fact that Kerry isn't beating Bush by 90 percentage points shows just how terrible a candidate he really is. Is it too late to switch to some guy with a pulse who's not in the back pocket of the special interests? That'd be nice.
Let's just have a partial quick run through.
The Iraq war.
Not for democracy. No WMD. Lying about lead up to war. 700 Million in misappropriated funds a'la Iran Contra. We're threatening to destroy Fallujah completely. Bush hasn't made any mistakes that he can think of, including his claim that Rumsfeld is the Secretary of State. Increased destabilization of US respect all over middle east because of our uncritical support of the only guy crazier than Shrub, Ariel Sharon. They're gonna roll Bin Laden out in October or if not we're going to be "attacked" and we'll never know if it's us or them whose doing it. They're firing people for having the nerve to show pictures that demonstrate people actually die in wars, like this is some kind of surprise. They've still not told us who narced out Valerie Plame. We told Prince Bandar about the war before Shrub told the spegghetti spined Powell. And that's just off the top of my head.
At home.
the environments fucked. the economy is fucked. There are no jobs that pay living wages, no benefits either. In Florida Bush's idiot brother is "fast tracking" graduates who can leave high school without any US history or government classes. That's what we need, LESS educated citizens. Great idea. Every child is being left behind. No bill of rights anymore, except to carry an assault rifle of course. And on and on...

But of course the news media is focusing on Michael Jackson. I mean, it's not like there's anything else to talk about right?
