A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
The public started turning on George W. Bush's made-up version of the Iraq war shortly after he declared "Mission Accomplished" two years and 1,565 American lives ago. A recent Gallup Poll finds opposition to Bush's war higher than it has ever been.
But let's face it: since when have George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, or any of the neocons given a damn about anything the American people think? The only time Bush and company should start worrying would be if the neocons in Congress started turning on him.
Start worrying, W.
Bush's lies and fabrications are catching up to him; even prominent neocons who have backed him en masse, without question, and with 100% obedience to this point have begun to turn on him, openly questioning his war.
[Representative Walter] Jones, a member of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, said "primarily the neoconservatives" in the administration were to blame for flawed war planning.
"The reason of going in for weapons of mass destruction, the ability of the Iraqis to make a nuclear weapon, that's all been proven that it was never there," he said.
Rep. Curt Weldon, Pennsylvania Republican:
"We can't come back to America and have our people being convinced that the Iraqi troops are prepared to take over, when they're not," he said on NBC's Meet the Press.
You've lied too many times, George. Now you're even losing the neocons. Get ready for your impeachment hearings, you treasonous son of a bitch.

Glad to have provided the Jones fodder, dude. Don't even mention it. Oh, wait...looks like you didn't.

Amazingly enough, Brent, sometimes I actually come up with stuff on my own that happens to be on other people's minds. I had bookmarked that story before you mentioned it, intending to write on it later. When you said something about it, it confirmed for me that it was a worthy topic.
Besides, you quit your blog anyway - what was I supposed to do, link to air? ;-)

This all works with their plan to keep their seats. As the president's lame duck status builds his party will follow the wave of the voting public to stay on the right side.

I have to agree with you. Whenever I mention something, the worthiness of it as a topic increases tenfold. ;-)

By the way...this is the reason (in addition to my full-time job) that I'm not blogging too much:
www.stetrevisions.biz
Some of the links are broken. I just spent three weeks working with Godaddy to publish the site, which they ended up having to do from their end with some mistakes. But you get the gist.
Yes...I have hereby advertised at your popular blog. Is this OK? LOL...

Popular blog? Hell, dude... I lost all my traffic when I went on hiatus. I went from 400 hits a day to 30 hits a day -- and I pretty much know who my 30 are. It's too much to ask for folks to hang with you for two months while you don't write anything. So I am nowhere near as "popular" as I used to be. But feel free to advertise anyway.
As for your site -- from one comms pro to another -- I'd worry about the white letters on gray background. Makes some of your content hard to read.
That said, you have an impressive resume, dude -- long way from our chemically enhanced days on Bay State Road and Sutherland Ave., huh? I look at some of the shit we're doing now -- you, me, Dave, Damian, Hamish, Stover, Julie (and yes I know what a sin I just committed by mentioning those two names together), Larissa, Jen, Steve, Nathan... too bad we didn't realize during all those messed up evenings how much talent was there, huh?
(By the way -- 8 years on, I still haven't forgiven you for burning my nose.) ;-)

Yeah...the gray background is getting changed as soon as possible...but Godaddy has crappy templates, and there were technical difficulties galore. Sorry...late for a meeting...
