Bedtime for Gonzo

Attorney General and Memory Expert

Alberto Gonzalez announced his resignation

today...though he might not be able to

recall this tomorrow.

The President reportedly responded to the news

like he does to everything else....

"grudgingly"

Viet Numb

In a fiery patriotic speech Wednesday, the

President demonstrated that battling on in

Iraq is just as important as it was in

Vietnam....

If that is so, let's come home now....
for he and Dick (5 deferments) Cheney
sure showed us the way back then!

(It's easier being Mr Patriot when

sending other people to do the dying...)

"One of the best-read people I've ever met"

That's what Karl Rove
said about President Bush
in a radio interview.
And it must be true...
after all, the President himself
admitted last summer that he
had just read
"3 Shakespeares."

Express Line, No Waiting

The people of New Orleans waited and waited for help from the administration.

And many are still waiting for a safe place to live...

But some people can't wait...
they're in the Express Line!
(and Cheney's stocks are
losing value).

So there's good news today for the big money boys who hate govenment and love that free market:

The Fed has poured billions in additional liquidity into the banking system in recent days, and Friday’s rate cut marked its most dramatic effort yet.

Please, Sir, may I have some more?

In the most bizarre writings published outside the canon of

Edgar Allen Poe, The Wall Street Journal published an

op-ed saying that what this country needs is MORE

Dick Cheney!
"So President Bush should ignore Mr. Cheney's advice and the White House communications team should keep him hidden from public view, right?

Nonsense.....We need more Dick Cheney."

His low ratings have nothing to do with his leading the country on one

disastrous path after another. Nope.

"His low poll numbers are the result of his low profile." After all, quoting

Mitch McConnell, when he speaks "he has such a way of making it simple and compelling".

AND WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOPS, Wrong Picture!!

or it it??

The Associated Press is reporting that
Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez

is visiting Baghdad.

Perhaps he will help in the writing of

General Petreus' much anticipated September Iraq report!

(why not? when you're writing fiction,

you can't go wrong with a happy ending!!!)

Lose Your Home? Hey, I've Got Empathy!

In Thursday's Presidential Press Conference,

President Bush declared he has "enormous

empathy" for those who have lost their

homes due to foreclosure.

However,

"if you mean direct grants to homeowners,

the answer would be no!"

He also stated that people didn't know what

they were signing and he would increase funds

for consumer education.

(After they'd lost their homes, of course).

Wonder if this will make it to Fox News

The BBC is reporting that the Iraq

power system is near collapse....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6934973.stm

Will Fox News find this worth mentioning?

A Farewell to Arms?

The Washington Post is reporting that the U.S. has no
idea where 190,000 weapons given to Iraq security
forces have gone.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/05/AR2007080501299_pf.html

This occurs just days after Condaleeza Rice
offered Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel even more
weapons.
And yet, unaccountably, there is still no peace!!!
