Shuck and Jive with MC Rove

Last night, flipping through the channels, I saw "BREAKING NEWS". Immediately, I realized I had made a mistake--the breaking news was on FOX, and what was it? Bush was speaking at the National Correspondents' Dinner. So I shut it the fuck off and watched something else.

Now, it turns out that the puppet master decided to participate in a little shuck and jive, to demonstrate that he could get down with his bad self. Except he dances like someone pulling marionette strings. No, he dances like the animated, soulless corpse that he is. The master who sends troops to die while he prances around the stage.

This is not funny. It it pathetic. Offensive. Almost as good as the moment when Bush did the "skit" where he pretended to look for those pesky WMDs that he had lied about.
I fucking hate this administration.

Words to live by

Who could have imagined that in the United States, with its independent judiciary, thousands of men could be rounded up in the night -- many only because of their Muslim religion or foreign nationality -- without recourse to a trial, without even an acknowledgment that they had been arrested? Who could have dared to suggest that there would ever be "desaparecidos" in America? And there it was as well, torture being discussed as a legitimate option to protect a community in peril, and then being used in Guantanamo and Afghanistan, and even obscenely photographed in Iraq -- yes, there they were again, the depressing echoes of my Chile.

But worse perhaps than all of this was the erosion of the moral compass of America, the seeming indifference of the seeming majority to the suffering of others, the casual acceptance of "collateral damage" as an unquestioned consequence of the war on "terrorism," the demonization of an ubiquitous foe who had to be destroyed without second thoughts -- and often without first ones as well; without, in fact, any thoughtfulness at all. That was far more terrifying than the criminal attacks on New York and Washington: To realize that the Chile of strongman Augusto Pinochet was not that far away, not that difficult to imitate, that it was already hovering in the future and ready to materialize if we were not vigilant.
