Public Enemy Number One

The Rove story is now out of the news. Scooter and Cheney are nowhere to be seen. Bush is installing Strap-on Bolton as our interface with the rest of the world. Jesus freaks are glued to the 700 Club praying for their man Roberts no one else seems to know.

And Guess who's back: Scott Peterson! You remember him from such smokescreens as: Cheney bought the Energy Policy from Enron", and "Honey, the Supreme Court Went Duck Hunting with Cheney Before Hearing why we Shouldn't Know Anything about National Policy Decisions Made in Cooperation with the Most Crooked Outfit in US History ". He was also big during "Condoleeza didn't read the fucking memo either- It was the FBI's job."

Of course the Republicans had some influence over US Energy Policy, but they have some legitimate claim to that since they did get control of the government. The Most Crooked Outfit might be the RNC, but the one I'm poking at is ENRON. The ones who took your parents' retirement money. The ones who bankrolled their Houston savant into the White House. You know, their accountants are now in charge of auditing the government. Remember Enron?

Of course they did it by strictly controlling the message. And the news. And access to reality. And with the cooperation of Fox, the media wing of the Repsychoican party, they present daily talking points, hammer them for weeks, and complain about the terrible job the Democrats are doing running the country.

Scott Peterson. I never thought I'd hear that irrelevant name again.

Scott's Back?? Jeez, I need to help the wife watch ET a little more often....I had no idea.

Of course, Bolton figures he'll spend more time in DC than in that dreaded building with aobut 30% too much height, so he's expanding the quarters of the Ambassador's area at Foggy Bottom by about that much. Kinda thumbing his nose from a repsectable distance. I guess since he stinks enough on his own, he'd rather not worsen it with any UN stink. On the other hand, who'd notice (it's like Blue on Black, Match on a Fire, Tears in a River, etc, as Kenny Wayne Shepherd sang). Stink on Shit.

Joe you should check out Jason Raimondi's writings at AntiWar.com. You really should. It's a libertarian outfit not an arm of the truly wacko left like it might sound. He connects the dots and has great insight.
