Fried Rice

When my father in law was out, we engaged in some lively banter concerning politics, during which I told him that I did not believe that Bush was a Republican. He found that viewpoint to be distressing, if not downright wrong. I was trying to be nice to the other Republicans. Of course, my main problem with Bush is that he talks like Hitler, but hey, that's beside the point.

Seriously, don't shoot me.

Being not in the game, so to speak, I only today realized that Condoleeza Rice was going to be our next Secretary of State. Great!! No seriously. I got to get my book about the end of the world finished before the actual end of the world, which Jason posits as next Tuesday.

So, evidently some of the democrats are having problems with Dr. Rice because well... she out and out lied about 9/11, did nothing about it, and her indolence and incompetence led to the second largest single attack on American soil. "Report? Yeah, I looked at. Look you can't hold me responsible for every FBI memo that comes across my desk with the words Top Priority on it!" Where'd she get her doctorate from, Dipshit U.? It's bad enough that she screwed up, couldn't she have had the decency not to just out and out say that she screwed up? Come up with a damn excuse. Hell, Ollie North did and he didn't have the families of a thousand people to answer to.

Anyways, the Republicans are cautioning the democratic critics that casting a shadow over Dr. Rice will hurt her reputation world wide when she becomes secretary of state. "Our" Secretary of State, Mr. Bush. Not yours. Quit using the royal "We;" this isn't England. You see, Rice WILL be secretary of state. That's going to happen. It doesn't matter if they find a picture of her involved in a virgin sacrifice. Hell, she's responsible for the biggest ball drop in national security history and they're making her SECRETARY OF STATE! She even has a fan club.

So, let's see. Person who knew about 9/11 is getting a post for her patriotism. Alberto R. Gonzales, the attorney General, is getting his post for his sense of justice despite his implication in the torture scandal in Iraq and Cuba. Goebbels, distributor of child pornography, has been put into the post of Secretary of propaganda. Rumsfeld, who can't answer a straight question, is our Secretary of Defense (off the subject but did everyone see him "answering" questions with the soldiers going off to Iraq? Fucking priceless).

Seriously, I know you guys are winning, but is this really the best that the Republicans can do? What, no heroin junkies to lead off the department of Health and Human Services? No pederasts for the department of Education? What, no cabinet position for Charlie Manson? How 'bout head of intelligence for our country. Evidentially all that's required for that job is to ignore documents about threats that DO exist, while making documents outlining war responses to threats that don't. Oh! I know, is there a department responsible for pulling people's heads out of their asses. Just a thought.
