The GOP Follies

I think Blogger is punishing me for not going to the beta version. It has been giving me fits for three days now. It takes about a dozen tries to publish anything so here's a few links I didn't get to yesterday, assuming this publishes eventually.

Think Progress has a interesting item on Iraq. One of the highest ranking, active duty men in the United States military has recommended to the civilian leadership of the United States that we remove all troops from Baghdad.

Keith Olbermann has the most amusing video of the day. Stay the course. It's more powerful when you see the facial expressions and hear the delivery of the many times Bush uttered that phrase. You have to wonder what Tony Snow was thinking, claiming Bush had only made it 8 times. Even the dumbest diehard can remember more than that -- without Google.

I'm seeing more pieces on the economic slump and the impending disaster when the Bushenomic house of cards falls. Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO) blames that dangburned liberal media. If they didn't report all those incovenient facts, everything would be just sweets and roses.

Enron is so yesterday. Bush is asking the financial corps to draft proposals to avoid any more messy lawsuits like that ever again. It's quite the fiendish plan.

It's been over five years since 9/11 but the TSA says the airline industry just can't meet a deadline to run background checks on cargo handlers for passenger airlines. There's only 50,000 of them. How long could it take? Maybe they should give the job to the NSA. They don't have a problem checking into every aspect of the lives of millions of Americans.

It's disgraceful. Five years and so far all they've managed to do is keep us safe from shampoo and toothpaste.

And why is Rove so sure he's going to win? Here's another clue. Gotta love those little voting machine anomalies that always favor the GOP. Ever notice that you never hear about a touchscreen showing a Democratic vote, when a person voted Republican.
