Well, that was anticlimactic only if you anticipated anything other than an escalation of reiteration.

We are the enemy. Defeating al-Q, subduing Baghdad, reducing the rise of radical Islam, all are now fully subsidiary to the Right's utter incapability to spare a single soldier's life if that's perceived to mean the Left was right, the Right was wrong. If endless and useless and hopeless losing in Iraq postpones losing in America because losing in America means losing to us, onward and downward with losing.

Civil disorder is coming. I'd been guessing late summer 08. Now? I'm thinking sooner.

Spend an hour listening to spewers or an hour surfing the wankers. Think about an administration contemplating an expanded war that dwarfs in scale and difficulty the clusterfuck in Iraq. Think about how the spewers and wankers will MMWAH!their war enthusiasm from their bunkers in their basements (and the penthouses of MSM Towers), encouraging their mullets (who moisten with patriotism hearing Lee Greenwood sing) to itch even more for kicking some Liberal traitor ass.

And when what seems bad now is seen as just the prelude to really bad - just like we say it's going to be - and the only recourse available to the Right will be to fuck that up worse, what they'll choose to turn on will be right here at home.

Just saying.

Roy on the speech. Remember, just because the Right is disappointed in The Decider doesn't mean it's not the Left's fault. That infected hair follicle on your pasty right thigh? Fraking Liberals.

If Condi Rice is as smart as rumored - and as morally principled - she'll have a particularly dishonorable grave in Ignoministan.

Chris Dodd goes on Cranky Bastard in the Morning to announce his candidacy? Lock up that vital homophobic/racist Geritol voting bloc, that.

Attaturk updates the old game Operation. Retardo on the Right's hankering for concentration camps. Whiskey Fire interprets the speech through Liebermanly metaphors. Denver is smart, as insignificant but symbolic things go. A News Blog reality check.
