I guess I should take a minute to note the recent appearance once more of Mr. “Fourth Branch” himself, “Deadeye Dick” Cheney, even though I really don’t want to.So he gave another speech in front of a gaggle of conservative idiots. So he’s threatening war with Iran for the umpteenth time.
So he’s letting the entire world know yet again that he’s a reactionary old fool because his words have proven to be nothing but lying propaganda.
Well, just for the record, I’d like to present this Think Progress link which explains how an air strike against Iran would actually accelerate their nuclear development, as well as generating sympathy from nations which (I would guess) are just about fed up with us anyway.
And not to be outdone, President Stupid Head asked for $42 billion more for war today (I guess he thinks we’ve forgotten about the SCHIP fiasco by now and it’s safe for him to say this; just keep it up, Dubya, and watch your party go down in flames even more next year).
Update 10/23: For someone who supposedly "gradiated" from Harvard with an MBA, this guy doesn't seem to have the first clue about the financial cost of this war, as witnessed again here.
With all of this in mind, here is my wish.
God willing, the Democrat who is elected president next year will be inaugurated on January 21, 2009, making a wonderful, rousing speech about how we need to work together to renew and rebuild our country and learn how, as a nation, to act like citizens of the world once more (to say nothing of restoring the liberties bestowed upon us in the Constitution). That evening, there will be a gala celebration for the new chief executive, and the next day, the hard work will all begin.
And the very first act performed by John Edwards should be the issuance of an executive order proclaiming George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as enemy combatants.
Update: By the way, the Cuban Missile Crisis began 45 years ago today; thank God JFK was president instead of Billion Dollar Cheney, or else the entire hemisphere would have been vaporized.

the ips story i posted on earlier gives a fairly comprehensive rundown on the current state of the "attack iran strategy" coupled with a revealing perspective on CENTCOM's fallon... dick's bound and determined to involve the entire middle east in a conflagration, which will be all that's necessary to complete the greased slide into a totalitarian state...
p.s. altho' i have seen a number of previous references to cannon, mostly from luke ryland, i hadn't checked him out until your comment from last night... i was surprised to find him so rabid on the subject of 9/11... honestly, at this point, i neither believe nor disbelieve anything, and i'm particularly wary of anyone who comes at me with all guns blazing, trying to convince me of their p.o.v... my cynicism and skepticism of anything and everything has never been stronger... do i believe this gang of criminals is capable of ANYTHING...? hell, yes, but i am in no position to advocate with authority for one stance vs. another... i just found it interesting that someone like cannon could be exploring the cia connection with drug smuggling, possibly using guantanamo as a transfer point, quoting hopsicker at madcow, and at the same time be so virulently opposed to 9/11 truthers... oh, well...
The Blogger feed widget has been hiccupping today, so I didn’t see your link, but I’ll take a look later from your home page.
I didn’t know that about Cannon and the people advocating a plot on 9/11 (and I’m like you on that, by the way; there’s a whole lotta stuff about that day that doesn’t smell right, but I can’t connect the dots enough to make a case about anything, and tho’ I’m not thrilled that Hitchens can give Bill Maher’s audience the finger with no problem, I understand that you can’t start shouting about 9/11 and making a nuisance in the middle of the program either). It is a bit inconsistent of Cannon to attack the 9/11 truthers, though, I’ll admit.
I just thought that Cannon did a good job of connecting the dots between the heat on Helgerson, the rendition flights and the probable drug smuggling. I don’t know anything else about him besides that. Thanks.
