This whole thing is so Mickey Mouse, I only hope the American public will be able to see how Goofy it all is. I keep having these thoughts of a Disneyland populated by people in big Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein heads, jumping out from behind Bushes and scaring little children with papier-maché WMDs. Fear is the only political weapon that the GOP-pers know how to wield, and now they have the unmitigated gall to turn it on America's children. The Magic Castle is now the House of Horrors.

"Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear" -- Bertrand Russell

"Of COURSE they're willing to make up lies. They're terrified of finally having checks and balances in congress. And they should be!!!"

I'm sorry, but I think Ministry of Make Believe is brilliant. I can't help myself. Trying to make us believe in make believe...

You're damn right it's brilliant, Jump. And you're damn right they're willing to lie to save their own skins. A Democratic Congress with subpoena power is their worst nightmare, and I don't think martial law would be out of the question to protect their sorry asses from war crimes trials.

Of course they'll peddle a film that's a lie. The thought of being held accountable to checks and balances scares them to death. And given what they've "accomplished" in last 6 years, it should!

Congressional election meme:

Are you willing to vote for two more years without checks and balances?

Are you willing to sentence America to 8 full years of republicans on parade?

The last 6 years weren't quite enough??

Vote for a congress that knows how to say "No!"

This republican controlled congress is like a large family of rabbits that have been charged with overseeing the fox, who has been given responsibility for guarding the hens.

Oh, for the love of a good watch-dog!!!

Baghdad morgue tally triples August death toll
US still stands by claims of 'significant reduction' in violent deaths in Iraq.
By Tom Regan, csmonitor.com

Snip: Though heralded by the US and Iraqi governments as signs of improving security, preliminary reports that violence in Baghdad had dramatically declined in the month of August appear to be incorrect.
