Bushworld.
MoDo couldn't find anything new to beat John Kerry up with, so she wrote this.
It's their reality. We just live and die in it.In Bushworld, our troops go to war and get killed, but you never see the bodies coming home.
In Bushworld, flag-draped remains of the fallen are important to revere and show the nation, but only in political ads hawking the president's leadership against terror.
In Bushworld, we can create an exciting Iraqi democracy as long as it doesn't control its own military, pass any laws or have any power.
In Bushworld, we can win over Falluja by bulldozing it.
In Bushworld, it was worth going to war so Iraqis can express their feelings ("Down With America!") without having their tongues cut out, although we cannot yet allow them to express intemperate feelings in newspapers ("Down With America!") without shutting them down.
In Bushworld, it's fine to take $700 million that Congress provided for the war in Afghanistan and 9/11 recovery and divert it to the war in Iraq that you're insisting you're not planning.
In Bushworld, you don't consult your father, the expert in being president during a war with Iraq, but you do talk to your Higher Father, who can't talk back to warn you to get an exit strategy or chide you for using Him for political purposes.
[...]
In Bushworld, you get to strut around like a tough military guy and paint your rival as a chicken hawk, even though he's the one who won medals in combat and was praised by his superior officers for fulfilling all his obligations.

Ah, the wonders of the NFL Draft.
It's at least a break from all this craziness.
How do you break from the craziness, even for a little while?
Great blog, Don. TBTM rules! Buzzflash rules!
Kerry in 2004-2012.

The article snippette made me finally go ahead and register to get the online NYtimes so I could read the rest of it.
The NFL Draft did provide a little escape for me too. My team, The Lions, actually seemed to do quite well in the draft so far. See you in the playoffs!...huh? hey,stop laughing!

Buttface can strut all he want's,
but he will never be anything but
a bald face liar, who is taking this country down the tubes, and killing hundreds of young people for his own greed.Someday he will be as famous as his dad..NOT!!!
All I know is that we need someone in the wh that can straighten out our country, and get all those asswipe's out of my house.
Thank you
