Weapons of mass distraction afoot . . . right here in ameriKa

The Bushites and their friends in media and politics screeched for seemingly a year that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Dstruction aimed at us or somebody. They moved heaven and earth to get this "war on terror" started against them, paying a courtesy call in Afghanistan on the way -- and of course we're permanently mired in the hell of chaotic, nonsensical warfare in both places more than ten years later. Never mind that the weapons were found to be be nonexistent. Bushy even joked about their absence on the dais at a black-tie affair!

Now it's North Korea we're going to fix. But is the beltway crowd ready for what happens when the dollar goes bust, and all its supposed enemies seize their advantage to show what they think of bully-boy Washington? Where did the solons in Obama's and Bush's cabinets learn foreign policy -- by watching Garfield the Cat antagonize dogs?

Every time you turn on the radio or TV there's some further crying about veterans' needs and what we owe them for risking their lives "for our freedoms". Apparently bad things happen to people who go off to war. I have a suggestion: why not simply bring "our" troops home (they're actually the UN's) for good and FIX AMERICA FIRST. Break the cycle, end the madness.

How many more times?

"Wide asleep in America" -- great web address! Alas, far fewer ameriKans pay it any anywhere near the attention they give "DWTS".

Hot stuff -- they have one of the few articles anywhere nailing the real, almost worthless Margaret Thatcher.

The Ironic Lady: Margaret Thatcher, Supposed Champion of Freedom and Democracy, and Her Dictator Friends

.......while The Economist hails Thatcher for her "willingness to stand up to tyranny" and Barack Obama calls her "one of the great champions of freedom and liberty," it should be remembered that, throughout her career, Thatcher was a staunch supporter of many of the world's most brutal regimes, propping up and arming war criminals and dictators in service to Western imperialism, anti-Communism and neoliberal hegemony.

Now, if that doesn't hit the spot, I can't help you! "Neoliberal" -- that seems to be sysnonymous with "people of every stripe getting on the neocommunist bandwagon and calling it 'progressive'".

Wow, this title is a one-line textbook in smart dialectics! Hahaaaaa, it's great!

Rust in Peace: Death of the Iron Lady

The old Spitting Image show flourished on British TV during the Thatcher era, regularly making mincemeat of her:

Margaret Thatcher Dead: Watch Her Singing 'My Way'

Mind you, those are actual latex puppets -- not computer animation. They show's crew were extreme leftists but even then, 20-odd years ago, it's amazing how much of their worldview any thinking person can agree with today -- the non-leftist parts, of course. They repeatedly devastated the royals with satiric power!
