Iraq’s drowning in blood, Lebanon is drifting into a US-supplied civil war, a new armada is readying itself in the Gulf off Iran and worst of all Cheney’s plotting and conspiring a coup to usurp Bush’s powers as C-in-C and bomb Iran. Portents are bad, to say the least.
Now Rove’s been seen scuttling around Washington’s corridors of power like a headless chicken, allegedly attempting to strongarm Republican senators into some plan or other. Something big is up; could it be that rival forces are rallying for the final Bush v Cheney power struggle? If so, hold on tight for a bumpy political ride.
You know, they said we leftist bloggers were nuts when we predicted that this would happen, a attempted modern fascist coup in the supposed bastion of liberal democracy, and we were called crazy and paranoid by the sensible media and the centrist liberals. Oops. Their bad.
Never mind though – whatever happens, while we still have lolcats, there’s still reason and sanity in the world. For certain values of reason and sanity, granted, but at least not the kind that’s inclined towards triggering armageddon, just because it can.
