My, my - it's been a busy few days in the news - and sadly, I haven't had time to actually write so much.
First, this past weekend marks the third anniversary of BushCo's invasion of Iraq. In the days leading up to the anniversary, we've heard every senior member of the BushCo cabinet justifying their idiotic adventure into Iraq.
Then today, we are treated King George the Burning Bush threatening to invade Iran. In the past I've claimed that BushCo would go after Iran or Syria after they got bored with Iraq. Sure enough, here we are just about three years later, and what do we get to hear?
Closer to home, in the ongoing saga of the recently elected Mini-Bush in Canada, we are treated to The Ethics Commissioner giving Emerson and Harper a "clean bill of health". Which, of course, completely misses the point. Emerson and Harper didn't do anything that broke Parliamentary rules of ethics, but that doesn't make Emerson's actions (or Harper's morally acceptable.
I don't think it takes a leap to figure out where I stand on the moral (and ethical) behaviour of either Harper or BushCo. They are both about as deceptive as they come - honesty is not their strong suit, these are people who are all about ideology, and when ideology fails them, it's purely a matter of ego playing out.
