Day 2

I'm a reader. This is maybe obvious to someone reading this, but just for the record, I read a lot of crap. Along with that crap though is a healthy dose of good stuff. The latest in the 'good' category is a book called "A War Against Truth" by Paul William Roberts; if you've read it you'll understand where I'm coming from here, but if you haven't then sit down and read it. You'll be glad you did.

The thing is, I realized that George W. is the closest thing to a pathetic figure of classical tragedy that we have today. To be clear: I think that he is a small-minded bigot with a narcissistic view of his mission in life, but... You have to think. He stands there in front of the whole world, and reads his speeches (which have got to be prepared for him, we've seen what happens when he tries to ad lib), never realizing that he has put himself - politically - in harm's way. People call him evil; GIMME A BREAK! The man is way to stupid to be evil. The powers behind the throne: Dick, Paul and Donald, now those guys scare the shit out of me. They create chaos, hatred and despair and call it 'democracy building', anyone who believes their powder coated rhetoric has not really thought much about this at all. And the sad fact is that when it all hits the fan, George is gonna be left holding a very empty bag, and the Triumvirate will have gotten away with its contents.

They say that God sees all. What are you seeing now?
