Dancing on Our Graves

Last week the Repubes budgeted 20 million dollars for the Iraq War victory party. Can you believe it? 20 million dollars. For the Iraq War victory party.

Coffee, tea, or a cute Congressional page-ee?

Will they invite the people of Darfur to this shindig? Yeah, maybe the refugees of Darfur could be “human statues” on the White House lawn. How quaint. That would amuse the rich and comfortable fundie Jesus wackos. (And we can't have anything bothering them, now can we?)

Will there be plenty of jobs for the rest of us? Because the majority of Americans will work for shit.

Oh, and by the way, remember the Congressional misconduct with pages scandal of 1982 and how that was handled (when Tip O’Neill was Speaker of the House)?

My, times have changed. Back then, Republicans would have sat on a scandal like Foley's too, but not out of some supposed fear of "being called homophobic" by the very Democrats that they call "Al Qaeda candidate" girlie-men.

Come to think of it, Republicans are talking about "girlie-men" a little too much; in the light of the Foley case, in which a grown man sexually propositioned a teen-aged boy, it takes on a new meaning!
