The Buzz Reason, the Real Reason

Much of cable television news is a conspiracy to keep people gossiping about the wrong thing and to prevent them from understanding what is really going on. Here are some examples:

The Buzz Reason for the shootings at Virginia Tech? Movie violence.

The Real Reason for the shootings at Virginia Tech? In the United States, violently mentally ill persons are allowed to buy hand guns.

The Buzz Reason for the trouble US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is in? The Dems are playing politics with a routine personnel issue.

The Real Reason Reason for the trouble US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is in? He lied about not being involved with the decision; it is also now obvious that he was carrying out a politicization of the US attorneys offices at the order of Harriet Myers and Karl Rove in the White House.

The Buzz Reason for which Senator John McCain sang "Bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann"? He has a quirky sense of humor.

The Real Reason for which Senator John McCain sang "Bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann"? Senator McCain is actually Major Kong (Slim Pickens" from Dr. Strangelove -- the one who rode the nuclear bomb on down onto the Soviet Union.

The Buzz Reason for which Senator Harry Reid says that the US has lost in Iraq? The Dems have lost their nerve.

The Real Reason for which Senator Harry Reid says that the US has lost in Iraq? It is very dangerous for a country not to have its eyes open about how well it is doing in a war.

The Buzz Reason for which World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz is in trouble? The World Bank's rules against nepotism disadvantage two-career couples at the Bank.

The Real Reason for which World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz is in trouble? He gave his girlfriend enormous raises and used her for Pentagon purposes.

1. I don't think McCain is actually nuts, he is just a broken man pandering to a lynch mob

Ever since that hug with Bush in 2004, I think he's been dead inside. He gave up all his integrity and dignity.

2. I agree!

The funny thing about "the hug" and McCain's conversion into a BushCO lapdog is that he should realize that BushCo cabal ALWAYS acts in the interests of BushCo and their promises are routinely broken. It is very much like Lucy and Charlie Brown with the football. She always promises not to pull the ball away and yet she always does. After the way he was treated by BushCo in 2000 in SC, McCain should have been smart enough to figure out that these guys are lying SOB's through and through. He has sold his soul to the Devil for something the Devil will never give him.

them.
