Tues.
Our president has engaged in Soviet-style propaganda efforts for a long time, purging the military and intelligence services of dissenters (“what is he, some kind of defeatist?”) and then “listening” to his hand-picked associates.
He gets $200 million for what?
A little window into what lies ahead when Congress begins investigating and issuing subpoenas and the administration refuses to comply with the subpoenas.
…And in the comments section of the above article, a man (?) who echoes my own thoughts:
It baffles me as a non-citizen of the USA that there are still people like Alternet who believe their democracy actually still works and that the evil within their nation has to be fought from within it. How can you fight it from within a system that is so thoroughly compromised it no longer works?
Indeed, my friend, indeed. Check out this post from Arianna Huffington. The Preznit os just off the deep end. Or check out this one about Tony Snow: nobody believes anything Sec. Snow says anymore. He is the American equivalent of Baghdad Bob. Editor and Publisher basically just rolls its eyes whenever he talks now.
Gary Hart lays it down.
