Lawyers, Guns and Money

That just seemed like an appropriate use of Warren Zevon's song title right now, what with the Bush Misadminstration's legal misadventures, Dick Cheney's "quail hunt" (Dick, the birds are the little feathery things, not the big orange adorned homo sapian), and Abramoff, who apparent ties into all three categories. You can't make this stuff up.

I'm disgusted with the whole lot of 'em. And the Democrats need to get a game plan. I am royally pissed about the way Paul Hackett was treated. I hope he can get support to run as an independent - I'd even toss a few bucks his way, and I'm currently as poor as a church mouse.

On Kos, someone posted more recently released Abu Graib pix. How can this misadministation be so evil? If you have the stomach for it, go look at the pictures. If you don't have a strong stomach don't. They are graphic. Those are not actors with special effects make up. They are human beings. Remember, the acts were perpetrated by Americans. Us. The U.S. If they do this to prisoners what happens when they come home to their families? Has anyone ever studied the effects of torturers once a war is over and they return to "normal" life. I don't see how anyone's life can ever be normal a participating in such degrading and horrific events.


I am currently listening to: Pink Floyd Echoes, and Time is playing.
