Foreign Media does it again: Tells us what's really happening in our own country.

The Independent reports that Dubya wants to set things up in Iraq so that the U.S. has long-term control of the country and he can claim "victory" before he leaves office. This deal would secure our military presence in Iraq no matter who wins the election in November.

The Guardian reports that Katrina victims are being booted out of their FEMA trailers. One last twist of the knife, eh? First the government doesn't respond, then they do but they fuck it up, then they stick everyone in tiny trailers that have formaldehyde in them, then they kick survivors out. Nice.

Big Surprise...

You mean Blackwater used deadly force when it didn't have to? Gee whiz!

The Friday Asshole Award

This morning I was cut off on the interstate by a guy driving a van for "Safe, Inc." Apparently you can fit a full-sized commercial van into half a car length at 80 mph. Who knew?

Karl go bye-bye

Karl Rove is resigning* at the end of the month. He says he wants to "spend more time with his family." I guess now that the world is so completely fuct, he can retire in peace and quiet to his own personal underground bunker and do just that.

Goodbye, Karl, old boy. We hope you choke on a stick of butter.

*Does anyone else feel the revelation of another sex scandal or shoplifting spree coming on? Or perhaps the name of another CIA agent?

Fuck You, Supreme Court

Yesterday the SC made it harder for workers to sue their employers for pay discrimination. Wow, so not only do I make 78 cents for every dollar a man does, I also can't do a damn thing about it (unless I can get proof within 6 months that someone else doing the same exact job is getting way more money). Gee thanks, Government!
