The Vast Wreckage of George Bush Extends in Every Direction
No Exit; Descending into hell with George Bush 

By Mike Whitney 

09/21/05 "ICH" -- -- The bodies of the mangled and bloated corpses are no where to be found on America's news programs. Like the countless dead in Iraq they're purged from the coverage and stripped from the public record. They've been replaced by the well-scrubbed visage of the Potemkin-president issuing his comforting words for his people. 


Just look around; Iraq, Afghanistan, Enron, Cheney's energy-papers, the deficits, the courts, the UN, Israel-Palestine, New Orleans, the corporate-corruption, the war-profiteering, the incompetence, the lies; everything Bush touches is reduced to rubble. No institution, however protected, can withstand the onslaught of his withering company; the vast wreckage extends in every direction. 

<snip>

"Character is fate," Marcus Aurelius said; it is a straight line drawn from a man's birth to his final hour. Some men will fail in everything they do and there is no force in the universe that can alter their destiny. 

Harken, Arbusto, Spectrum, the Texas Rangers and now the United States of America; all following the predictable downward spiral into the muck. The trajectory cannot be amended by simply putting down the bottle. Failure is an indelible blotch, like the mark of Cain, forever embossed on the soul of its victim. Its part of Bush's genetic-code, as integral to the whole mechanism as the cocky-drawl or the lumbering gait.

2. Wouldn't It Be Interesting
If we had a record of the average blood pressure reading of our citizenry before GW took office so we could compare it to now?! In all my years, I cannot remember one administration that had the country in such an uproar as this idjit.

3. The American people are being fleeced by the robber barons.
The corporate media still has 40% approving of being raped.

I am pessimistic that anything will change before the neocons drive the nation into the ground. At that point, even the gullible will realize they have been had. Too bad the rest of us have to suffer as well.
