The Secret is Out

It was nice to take a bit of a break from DC, to lay around in the sun and eat non-stop. But the mortgage is due in a few weeks, and I had to go back to work to continue to pay it, so unfortunately, I'm back in the Capital. It would have been nice if Victor had come to mow the lawn while I was away, but he hasn't shown up or called, so I'm afraid that maybe he's been deported, and I will have to go out and purchase a lawnmower, assemble it, and then mow my own lawn. After I finish mowing the lawn, I'm sure I will break out in hives and start wheezing, and then I'll have to take a couple of days off from work, visit DR. Cho who will make me wait for hours sitting among all sorts of people hacking and sneezing, and who knows what sort of viruses I will be exposed to just waiting to get a prescription for Flonase? This anti-immigration crap is causing some serious problems, the fat guy on the next block had heart palpitations after moving a couple hundred pounds of mulch to his garden last week. The cleaning ladies are all marching up on Capital Hill, and so nothing is getting cleaned, and the women in DC are unhappy.

The grass in the backyard is up to my ankles.

It was nice to hear one of the talking heads on MSNBC actually uttering the I-word (impeach) on Friday. It seems that the news anchor was shocked, SHOCKED! to learn that President Bush had approved the leak of classified information to reporters regarding the identity of one undercover CIA agent whose husband had royally pissed him off. There were some of us who figured all along that the Valerie Plame scandal went all the way into the rotten core of the Administration, and were just waiting for the facts to emerge that proved the point.

The Administration is under fire from all sides. An article in Tuesday's Washington Post came up with some serious proof that the President again lied knowingly to the American people.

On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq: Two small trailers captured by U.S. and Kurdish troops had turned out to be long-sought mobile "biological laboratories." He declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."
The claim, repeated by top administration officials for months afterward, was hailed at the time as a vindication of the decision to go to war. But even as Bush spoke, U.S. intelligence officials possessed powerful evidence that it was not true.

Today, the Administration is spouting out some nonsense declaring that the "White House is not an intelligence gathering agency." And yet, it was the White House that sent a team of experts to gather the intelligence that would justify the criminal behavior of the invasion of Iraq. When the intelligence failed to justify the crime, the White House stamped it as "top secret", and kept the truth away from the public.

The truth is out there now for the world to see.

Look, I'm not one of those lame Americans who sees injustice and does nothing to stop it, but I'm busy! I've got a mortgage to pay, a business to run, I've got family and this blog that takes up all of my free time. There is so much injustice in the world, I can't keep up.

And now I've got to mow the fucking lawn.
