Lessee, the DJI is down another 295 points today, Delta Airlines is in deep, deep do-do, US coral reefs are in trouble, Citigroup seeks to settle probes and consumer sentiment sinks further. AND THAT'S JUST SO FAR TODAY!

Our governments response to the economy sinking onto those reefs? The Little Monkey is still listening to the Organ Grinders who are saying we need war, gotta have troops on the ground in Iraq to get that oil. We'll leave 'em the cities.

Tell me this doesn't remind you of fiddling while Rome burns. Tell me it reminds you of organs being ground to fuel oil profits.

Tell me the greatest threat to American security is Iraq, not the economy going to pot, Ashcroft draining civil liberties, a President hell-bent on war no matter what. (Because now, what happens if there is no WMD attack on the US from Iraq, any more than there is from Iran or North Korea. GWB wouldn't have any credibility, would he?)

But, the dittoheads march on, lock-step, goose-step, onward to Warsaw - I mean - onward to Baghdad!!

Trapped 'em, and they won't even recognize it. Heh, heh. It's too easy!!!
