Nobody in W's America gives a flying Wallenda what really goes on in DC or out here in Bloggyland. Our righteous indignation at the administration's hypocrisy falls upon deaf ears. Hello? A war in Iraq based on lies, a radical right wing domestic agenda, a unilateral foreign policy - and still the GOP wins - we are a nation in crisis. Look at Chile, people so upset with US policy this weekend that they were SHOT WITH WATER CANNONS! (Not to mention that we had assassinated their president a few years back)
We are soft here in the US. Here in the winter of our discontent, smug in our illusion of democracy, we debate whether Scott Peterson has gotten a fair trial, or who deserves to be fired from the Apprentice while Trump's casinos go bankrupt, again. Never mind global warming - who's going to be the new Gilligan? Creationism vs. Evolution? No, it's Concerned Parents vs. Desperate Housewives. Our children will want to know how this happened. What will we tell them when they ask what was a Swift Boat Veteran for Truth...
