Time to dust my little blog off and put it to use. I’ve taken a sabbatical from my writing duties in part to catch up with the chores of my life. Between my job (major overtime), duties around the casa, and family commitments, leisure time was down to a bare minimum. Yet there was a bit of leisure time that I could have attended my blog, but didn’t.
I had to take a little downtime from the daily outrage that is Bushco. Basically I felt like an longtime emergency room attendant who’ve seen the most shocking and painful scenes, who has finally failed to be shocked by it all. I finally failed to be shocked by what my government has done in my name. Don’t get me wrong, I still believe the actions the Bush Administation continues to do today are still outragous, illegal, and unethical. But am I shocked? No.
I finally understand for them it’s par for the course. They have no shame.

Today in the news…

Condi Lied… again.

Rummy and Abu Gonzales knew...

“Cut and run” Frist “hearts” the Taliban…

On Foley’s paediaphillic transgressions: “What did the GOP leadership know” and “when did they know it”…

Oh, and by the way Bushco, that torture thing… It’s not over. Not by a damn sight!

After today’s appalling performance in BOTH houses of Congress regarding the pieces of sh*t legislation known as HR.6166 and S.3930, also known as the torture bills, I stand aghast.  These elected officials, these so-called Americans, voted for giving torturers immunity from criminal trials. 

In the last few years under the Bush regime, I’ve witnesses many actions that shocked, bewildered, and outraged me.  But today’s act wasn’t by Bush, it was from the United States Congress.  This was from the people’s representatives. 

With the fall elections quickly approaching, newsmen, political pundits, and even candidates for office all believe that the number one issue for the elections is the War in Iraq.  After today’s UNAMERICAN perfomance by Congress, I say the number one issue that voters should decide is whether we are a country that values the rule of law, human rights, and the Supremacy of the Constitution or are we torturers.

NOTE TO CONGRESS:  You hear that faint snickering, that’s Bin Laden laughing at you.

This is my first blog post. As I sit here trying to think of some manificient treatise to put to this post, I have decided to just write. It has been 5 years since tragedy befell all my countrymen, but moreso those in New York City, Washington, and a field in Pennsylvania. In that time, my country has changed and I with it. But first, let me start at a more appropriate place, the beginning.

Let it be known, I did not vote for the man. Never for governor (twice) and never for president. Not that I was politically astute because I wasn’t, nor because of ideology because I was as centrist-modreate-independent as they came. I didn’t vote for him because of something else, something intangible. It was partly because of his past, a mediocre student, who became a mediocre businessman. A reservist whose military record is at best, shady. An oilman whose history of dry holes, failed businesses, and an unncanny ability to profit from it, is at best, shady. A gubernatorial candidate who with no record of public service, no political trail to speak off, but whose only asset is just a name…shady. A presidential candidate who’s only four years removed from hearing his name whispered in certain social circles in terms of the presidency, stands in the midst of the most contested and disputed race in history and whose most sterling acheivement is …nothing. As I said earlier, I didn’t vote for the man because of something was quite just right, something was just a tad too shady.
