Have you seen this?
You might think in this media age, where every sound bite can be captured and preserved, those in power wouldn't have the audacity to do this sort of thing. But these guys are always pushing the envelope, testing what they can get away with. So far they've gotten away with everything. I'm astonished that people still call them incompetent. If there's ever been a more efficient and skillfully disguised dictatorship, I'm not aware of it.
There oughta be a new word for Orwellian. Something that would out-Orwell even Eric Blair's most Orwellian nightmare.

Thanks for posting that. I hadn't seen it. It would be funny if it weren't so dreadful...
Olbermann on this topic, plus "The Google".
In other news, Bush apparently believes that this whole war mess began when Iraq attacked the United States.
There is so much wrong about the quote at the link, but that's gotta be the capper.
Here is another take on the same issue.
And a nice one on how the US ended up in this mess.
Thanks for this one, l-girl.
Here's hoping the US will change the course and get rid of the repuglican majority in at least one house of Congress on Nov. 7th!
Wow. Thank you, L-girl.
Running off to link to you right now...
Thanks for the links, James and Redsock.
Good point.
We have people who fall for that kind of rhetoric.
And then we have people who call them "incompetent."
Thanks for posting this! It made me post it too right away after watching it... then I quoted you and this post, as you just said so much.
It will be interesting to see how Nov 7th works out. too bad we don't have more viable parties, since voting another party here in the US is basically a wasted vote.
oh yeah, and real voting... not scammed stuff.
Oh yes, too bad, and too bad. Thanks for linking to me.
I hear that the new phrase, replacing "Stay the course", is "Get the job done".
Isn't that Larry the Cable Guy's catch-phrase?
Ah, what would a super-power be without a catch phrase?
