More Scary Stuff From the Time story on The Price of Loyalty:
Weren't we promised that although Bush knows nothing about foreign affairs, economics, etc. that he would surround himself with SMART, GROWNUP people who would give him the advice he needed? Well, it seems that he's actually insulated from anyone who could tell him the truth, and gets all of his information from those to whom politics is the principal lens through which things are viewed, and underlings are told to make the politically advantageous slant on things the reality. And so not only is intelligence politicized, but everything else is too. Some people like Bush's moral clarity, the way he seems to say, "No need to worry that the world is complex and colored in shades of gray, 'cause it's all about RIGHT AND WRONG, with our side always being right." But since this moral clarity seems based on no actual contact with the outside world, it's time to be afraid. Be very afraid. P.S. I just saw Suskind on "60 Minutes" saying that, per the notes of a staff meeting he was given, Bush was concerned about his second tax cut benefiting rich people again, and said he thought they should do something different this time. He was told that the rich are "entrepeneurs," and they that are the ones who will grow the enconomy. But Bush came back to it later, and asked if they shouldn't help the middle-class this go around. Karl Rove reportedly said, "Stick to principle, stick to principle, stick to principle," and Bush eventually went along with the tax cut plan. So, we have Bush as the boy ruler, Rove as his unctuous, wily controller, and Cheney as the father figure who is actually the shadow emperor. This all reminds me of a story from The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, but I'm not sure which one. Or maybe it's a movie plot. In any case, in a sane world it shouldn't be the backstory of our presidency. 6:10:31 PM |
And Speaking of Paranoid Conspiracy Theories . . . If you visit RushLimbaugh.com today, you'll see that the top item is:
And since we do everything Rush tells us to, we visited that great column. It's by Sherry and Steven Eros. Sherry is a neuropsychiatrist and Steven is a philosopher -- so, it's one of those wacky "Dharma and Greg" or Jessica Simpson/Tucker Carlson marriages. But somehow their combined specialities give them expert creds to address the media. Anyway, here's the gist of their article:
Well, the first item on the timeline is "Limbaugh criticizes McNabb on ESPN." So, yes, the answers ARE obvious: the Democratic Party and the elite media are out to frame Rush for various crimes because they're in the pay of Donovan McNabb! The media WERE very desirous of having a black quarterback do well, but not out of some "liberal guilt," but because McNabb is probably the most powerful man in America. Dis him and bad things happen. But I do want to address that idea that the media is "giving a false impression of criminal activity in the absence of any evidence." Because I think it's pretty clear that there IS evidence of wrongdoing. Personally, I think the pharmacy records (from just one pharmacy, mind you) showing that Rush got prescriptions from four different doctors for the same type of medication within a one-month period, is pretty compelling evidence that some wrongdoing was going on (by Rush, the doctors, or some of both). Rush said he paid Wilma Cline large sums of money because she was blackmailing him -- evidence of a guilty conscience, at a minimum. Plus, Rush ADMITTED to violating federal banking regulations -- that's pretty good evidence too. So, while Rush is LEGALLY innocent until proven guilty, I don't think that the media is required to not give impressions until the verdit is announced. The fact that Rush looks bad now doesn't mean there's a Democratic Party/Elite Media conspiracy against him anymore than the fact that Michael Jackson looks creepy proves that the media is biased against him because he's black. So, I advise Rush to team up with Jen Shroder, because maybe together they will have a better chance of fighting the evil machinations of the Democratic Party, the IAEA, and Donovan. 3:53:24 PM |
Just a 'Simple Mom,' But What Adventures She Has! Okay, as promised, here are the stories which Jen Shroder mentioned in the bio of her American Daily piece. (Her article also appeared in Mich News, but without the bio; Mich News is another fun wingnut columnist site, featuring weekly columns by old friends like Judson Cox, Kathleen Parker, and Jan Ireland, so we might have to visit it again sometime.) But first, a little about WWW.BlessedCause.com: it's BIG. Jen says it contains over 400 pages, and I have no reason to doubt her. You could spend days there (it contains that much goofy material), but don't, because after a couple of hours your head will start to hurt. And Jen updates and changes some of her stories over the course of several pages, so just take some of my individual links as approximations of where to start reading. Now, on to. . . 1. How Jen Started the California Recall, Was Hacked, Then Framed For Terrorism by the Forces of Evil:
Well, actually it wasn't the whole party, or even the DNC Chairman, but just the Chair of the 64th Assembly District Committee, California Democratic Party. And all he did was write an article for the local paper claiming that the people behind the recall were on the far right. He then listed some groups, such as the California Pro-Life Council, some guns groups, and Blessed Cause, to prove his point. While Jen claims (several times) that she only mentioned the recall once on her 400 page site (implying that the evil Democrats must have been watching her very closely), she does let it slip that the did sign the recall petition. I'm guessing that she and her organization were well known locally. Heck, maybe the petition actually had a place to list credentials, and Jen mentioned that she was BlessedCauses's founder and only member. So, the fact that she was mentioned in connection with the recall might not be as sinister as she thinks. Or maybe it's MORE sinister. . . The article by the District Chairman appeared on 20 August, 2003.
And they would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that meddling Mailer Daemon! Anyway, more suspicious stuff happens (a weird referrer link), but the FBI won't help, even though you'd think they'd care that the Democratic Party is framing innocent mothers in order to derail the California recall movement.
She finally writes a plea to the Bureau, which concludes:
Presumably, they refer her to the Federal Department of Being Framed, and that was the end of that. 2. How Jen Saved the Life of John Walker Lindh
Yes, about the time when Lindh might have been in middle school, California started using the social studies text book which invited kids to "assume you're a Muslim solider" during the time of the Crusades. Obviously, this is what caused Lindh to join the Taliban. And once Jen brought it to the attention of the defense, the prosecution suggested a plea deal, and Lindh's life was spared, because the D.A. knew that it was actually Clinton's fault that Lindh became a terrorist, and he didn't want this coming out in open court (I'm just guessing on that last bit). But it does leads us to . . . 3. How the IAEA Covertly Linked to Jen's Site, and Why This Indicates That Our Children Were Sold To the Muslims
Why else indeed? And why would this site, called World O'Crap, take an interest in Jen's website unless I am part of the secret world-wide plan to offer our children to the space aliens for food? It's no coincidence that I linked to BlessedCause just days after President Bush announced his plan to build a manned station on the moon. One can't help but think that Bush made a behind-closed-doors deal with the moon men to force our schools to indoctrinate the tender minds of our children into thinking that space was "cool": then they will want to visit the moon, and get eaten. In return, Bush was promised a week in a time-share condo on Mars where space babes will knock on his door and ask to have sex with him. The fact that I got spam today from several companies who want to sell me painkillers and penis enlargers proves it. But let's hear Jen's summary of the above stories:
Yes, indeed. God does work in mysterious ways. Jen may SEEM like a "no-nothing" mother, but she has more imaginary adventures before noon than most people do all day. However, being a martyr isn't all fun and games:
Wow, a bigger threat than the IAEA? More dangerous than the text book manufacturer cabala? Even deadlier than the Democratic Party? These cats are bad m...[shut yo' mouth!] Hey, just talkin' about the Militant Gays. But why are they after Jen? After all, some of her best friends are homosexuals. Really!
Because nobody would think about being gay unless they learned about it at school. Anyway, Jen's site is chock full of goofiness like this. There's the story about how when she worked as a waitress at a ski resort frequented by Arnold in the '80s, it was the women who were groping him! (He was always a perfect gentleman to Jen, even though she never had any actual contact with him.) And there are all the examples proving that the San Luis Coastal Unified School District is infected by the "spirit of the antichrist" (her child had to learn an Indian legend about the rainbow bridge -- that proves it right there). And, of course, there's Jen's School Board Candidate bio, but that's not at her site. So, Jen offers hours of entertainment to the hardy, but I don't think I should share any more with you, because I might get framed as a terrorist. 4:42:13 AM |
