My favorite part is this because it is so apt:
- That's the Bush syllogism: The evidence says one thing; the conclusion says another; therefore, the evidence is false.
For more than 3 years now, that's how life has been - a non-stop cycle of this kind of logic.
- * Economic disaster is really boom times.
* Corporations are wonderful (I don't believe they're naturally Satan either but what's good for corporate America is usually bad for human America).
* Our President is God's chosen one.
* We love everyone who isn't a terrorist (and we'd love them more if they converted to Jerry Falwell's or Pat Robertson's religion).
* Everyone who isn't a red suit or tie wearing Republican nut case is potential terrorist.
* The best way to protect our freedom is to give it all up to Mr. Ashcroft.
* The president deserves the Nobel peace prize for making non-stop war while Jimmy Carter doesn't deserve it for trying to effect peace.
* We love our GIs and veterans and that's why we're underfunding them and cutting existing funds for their health care, their children's education
* We don't need a draft but we aren't letting GIs end their service at their scheduled time
* Global warming is good for you just like self-regulated industrial pollution helps the environment (Clear skies mean clearly toxic skies).
* We (grudgingly) need a complete investigation into something, so let the president order up a panel made of questionable choices and then hamstring them so they can't investigate
* It's bad for women to abort fetuses but it's FINE if you execute someone who committed a murder as a child.
It amazes me more heads haven't exploded. I've got to assume the statistic for mental illness rates is sky-high.
