Sunday, June 15, 2003 np: the sound of foaming. at the mouth. oh, president bush. why do you hate america? tom tomorrow's site has a couple of very big things on it of late. if you don't read his blog regularly, you really should. between him and atrios i barely do anything else on the web. for starters, there is this peachy post about how absolutely hypocritical our politicians can be sometimes. oh, boy, those crazy washington folk. if they're not slappin' sanctions on repressive regimes in mayanmar (burma), they're layin' oil pipe there less than five years ago as the head of a major energy concern! and of course, i'm referring to invisible man himself, dick cheney. who still receives paychecks from halliburton. the company of which he was once CEO. and yes, his company was hired by the mayanmar junta to build oil pipes off the coast of the country. oh, and he had oil deals going with saddam's regime through sketchy european companies that halliburton had acting as fronts for their own money making desires. yeah. you know, that country that has had sanctions against it for nigh on a decade or so? the one that repressed and murdered many of its own citizens (along with the help of years of U.S. strategic bombing between wars)? yeah. he was dealing with them. and halliburton (who is still paying cheney, need i remind you) also got a contract in helping rebuild iraq. and they're already 140% over initial budget in the first month alone. oh. and eventually, you and i will foot the bill for all that. ain't love grand? and then...i read this little number. president bush, who goes around acting americorp's best friend, has paved the way (through egregiously insulting tax cuts, etc.) for americorp's budget to be almost destroyed. read this article from the washington post for the lowdown, but i nearly beat my computer screen in when i read it. i will not rest until this country comes out of this shameless, insulting, ridiculous excuse for a human being's shadow. oh, and if they do indeed delay the republican convention so that it is timed with the two year anniversary of sept. 11th, or try the equally (if not more so) appalling trick of laying the cornerstone at ground zero during the convention, i hope that you all vomit the way i will and then immediately go do whatever it takes to make every person who thought that was a good idea to live the rest of their life in a fucking shame spiral. okay. sorry. that was a bit over the top. but when i'm this livid, it's what it takes. and going to work each day usually puts me around some people whose obliviousness (not to mention callous ignorance) of the outside world, makes me wanna cut faces left and right. go. right. now. and sign up at moveon.org and help make something happen already. please. posted by J.
