But someone is profiting from Iraqs oil and Afghanistans poppy, ask yourself who? Once you answer that, you will know who runs our country, and the world.

This is what I hate. bu$hler just makes shit up, pulls it straight out his ass, and everybody scrambles like it’s real.

Well this was always their policy it seems. From Suskind:

In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn’t like about Bush’s former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House’s displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn’t fully comprehend — but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.
The aide said that guys like me were ”in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who ”believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ”That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. ”We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

The immunity reason for the pocket veto is a red herring.

Also read somewhere that the so-called pocket veto he pulled won’t fly; something about dates not jibing.

This is what I hate. bu$hler just makes shit up, pulls it straight out his ass, and everybody scrambles like it’s real.

why NOT a single, nationwide primary voting date?

anyone know?

Uh, no, it’s corn growing, then pig farming.
We should move to a british style, six week campaign, with one primary/caucus day. Because we leave this up to the different states, we wind up with the mess we have.

Maybe Darth’s main squeeze, Pamela Willeford, might come to the rescue?? Oops, she already did that on the infamous hunting trip. Hey, where’s the impeachment for this impropriety of Cheney’s??
