Just some kid from the Chicago suburbs that moved to the southwest, went to law school, and ended up confronted with shifting ideals. My thoughts...boring and unedited.

"executing" the law, "progress" in Iraq, "contributions", and bush's "culture of life"...

it has all become clear to me now...the boy king simply misunderstood his oath of office (which is not that surprising giving the level of incompetence and idiocy that has marked his reign as perhaps the worst president in the history of this nation...not exactly a minor accomplishment given the number of bums that have somehow conned their way into the white house over the years). see, when he swore to faithfully "execute" the laws and the constitution...he took the good ol' boy texas meaning of "execute"...he thought his job was to see to it that the law be put to death. thus, he has spent his entire presidency doing whatever possible to kill the rule of law, the constitution, and any semblence of decency left in american politics. when viewed in this light, it is by no means surprising that he would then try to skirt the law regarding record-keeping in the white house by using the RNC for communications between jabba the hut, the would-be-justice, and anyone else pissed off that prosecutors are not "executing" the law enough. an american leader who claims to support the rule of law and accountability by being outside the rule of law and completely unaccountable...perhaps it would make sense if I had spent a couple decades drunk between snorts...

thank god the mission was accomplished in Iraq and the insurgency is in its last throes. because if there was still a war going on there might be reason to be concerned that the green zone got bombed. and this is what we call "progress"...see, the Iraqis are taking control of their country. now that the american forces apparently no longer totally control the green zone, it seems they control just about every damn place. lawrence of arabia is slapping his forehead from the grave.

record political contributions to presidential campaigns...hooray. anyone notice that with all that money raised, a hell of a lot of good could have been done for a hell of a lot of people that need it? at least our priorities are in the right place. ebay listing - one country for sale, empire in decline, faux-democracy...accountability, democracy and the rule of law no longer necessary.

the boy king is talking about a "culture of life" again...amazing that he can do this with a straight face. perhaps he is geniune, perhaps he is taking baby-steps...first a "culture of life" for things not capable of sustaining themselves. then maybe a "culture of life" for things like plants and wildlife. maybe then a "culture of life" for such ideas as democracy, the rule of law and accountability in government. perhaps at some point a "culture of life" for innocent civilians, actual human beings, etc. in the meantime we will have to settle for a "culture of life" that declares innocent human beings as "collateral damage" while putting others to death in a broken system, leaving countless to die of preventable disease, hunger, poverty, etc., and promotes endless war...

won't be long before we're gone...
