Cartoon for October 29
We stood by and watched as an illegitimate coup leader seized power in 2000, reversing the results of the presidential elections. We sat on our asses after 9/11 as he waged war against countries that had not attacked us and rewarded those that had. We farted around as he stole the key state of Ohio in 2004, and by extension the whole election. We’ve done nothing about the USA-Patriot Act, the habeas corpus-ending Military Commissions Act, the destruction and neglect of New Orleans by Katrina, Guantanamo, extraordinary renditions and legal torture.
Tell me again: How exactly do we qualify as “the land of the free and the brave”?

Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut unwittingly exposed the Democrats’ Big Lie on Iraq: that they need support from Republicans to stop the war. In fact, any senator can place a “hold” on any piece of legislation. They can even do it anonymously if they’re afraid of the political ramifications of their action! So, the next time you hear on TV that the Democrats “need” 60 votes in the Senate to override Bush’s threatened veto, don’t believe it. And write to the network to demand an immediate correction.

In Mike Judge’s cult film “Idiocracy” (a must-see for cultural elitists everywhere), stupid people breed at a faster rate than smart ones until, 500 years later, the U.S. has been reduced to utter moronitude.
Which got me thinking.
Perhaps, though it’s hard to imagine why, a perfectly intelligent person might have joined the military early in the Bush Administration. Four years into Iraq and six years into the meatgrinder of Afghanistan, however, it’s fair to say that only a less than brilliant person would sign away his life for, literally, nothing. (Save your e-mails, righties: citing “patriotism” as a reason to enlist doesn’t work. French patriots didn’t fight for the Vichy regime during World War II. They joined the resistance. A patriot would have nothing to do with the military while the White House is occupied by an illegitimate coup leader.)
Anyway, if the carnage continues in Iraq for another 500 years, it stands to reason that the average I.Q. of those who remain behind will increase. Thus this cartoon…
