I wonder what happened today?...

While every stinking "news" outlet plays the same 30 seconds of footage of Saddam today,
I wonder what laws are being passed? Or for God's sake what about Kobe?
Fuck... I haven't see good ol' Kobe make his walk from car to courthouse today, shit!

I know this is a big media move for Bush and Co.- and since it's all they have to crow about,
it's easy to see why they want to turn it into what we see for the next several month.
I'll go on record as sticking with my initial prediction awhile back that the media will have plenty
of scandal to cover (like this and the prisoner abuse scandal, and ALL THE OTHER SCANDALS!)
INSTEAD of covering our own election. No wonder John Kerry seems like a distant mirage, since he's
tough to get a scandal on, why would Fox News want to cover him at all?

Maybe scandal is the only way to get Americans attention. I sure think so.
Think of how UN-FAIR and UN-AMERICAN it would be if we liberals kept the focus on some
juicy, but totally un-related to the election issues like:

1.- Our first lady was driver in a accident that killed someone. Yep.
I know, we all make mistakes, but are this bunch of Texans in the White House just obsessed
with killing? What if Hillary had a similar skeleton in the closet? You mean she does, and
we appointed guys like Ken Starr to look into them? Why not Laura Bush too ??

2.- Our Vice-President still is on the Halliburton payroll. Small potatoes sure, but the
VP salary is REALLY SMALL POTATOES TOO! Which small vegetable is he most likely to owe his allegiance
to? Does anyone in America know this but the LeftWingWackos? No, and MSNBC will NEVER TELL YOU!
What if Al Gore had his hand in 2 pots at once, wouldn't the media have been outraged~?!?

3.- Our once safe and great public utility system is being sold out from underneath America.
Why not? It's what we did to the original owners of this continent, and now it's only fair that
we suffer the same fate (with unfair agreements, that the peole really don't understand the full ramifications of).
I mean, if local governments are either too poor or too cheap to
maintain the public utilities, maybe we can't handle the responsibility of our own water system.
But for a country SO OBSESSED WITH SECURITY, it sure seems fucked that we are selling
the water, power and so forth to FOREIGN INTERESTS! I'm not accusing those foreign interests
of anything- but just think about it. HOW TRUSTING ARE YOU? What if your water wasn't safe to drink
and you find out that you gotta complain to someone in GERMANY? Don't worry, this is coming to
your town soon- trust me.

So- while neocons drool over the few moments of Saddam, and the fucking days and days it will
take guys like Shepard Smith to recount how Saddam looked, how he talked, how he didn't make
much sense, what was he wearing- the country will continue it's tailspin.
Don't worry tho- we'll know all about every thing EXCEPT BUSH AND CO.

So to sum up this mad rant- just remember that on days like this- often times, things happen
that we'll only find out about by living long enough to look back at them. Somewhere, someone
is taking notice of the REAL NEWS, so it can be included in history.
Take for instance September 11, 2001, the day Henry Kissenger was indicted for war crimes.
