Here it is, February 14, 2006, and Americans are still killing and being killed in the middle east. I've been busy with work, social activities, and the olympics, so I'm not paying much attention, but I did hear that the Cheney shooting victum had a "minor" heart attack this morning. The pundits are having a field day with that, but the White House is gettng mad. Look out Jay, Dave, and Jon, you could be next.
Also, four more American soldiers in a Humvee were killed by explosion, I think in Afghanistan, and Saddam is on a hunger strike.
Yesterday on NPR I heard Ramsey Clark going on about the Saddam trial. Boy, did he have a lot to say. The interviewer tried to get him to say the trial was OK and Saddam was clearly guilty and so on, but he'd have none of it. He kept going on about millions of deaths in the Iran-Iraq war, American policy going back decades, and the total illegality of the current trial of Saddam, and how bad it makes the west look to the rest of the world. Google Ramsey Clark and Saddam to get a load of that.
The Katrina investigation is supposedly wrapped up, with condemnation all round, but try telling that to the Bushies. It was everybody elses fault, of course.
Corruption in Ohio politics, churches burning in Alabama, and the Bush crowd rolls on. As that drunken country lout Earl would say, "Wake up, America."
