Are We Mad Yet?

One year ago, for a few milliseconds, at 100 yards, we all were treated to a flash of Janet Jackson's booby.

This event paralyzed the media and sent waves of shock and awe through the country; how could such an atrocity be allowed to take place here? Panels were formed, commissions were organized and lawsuits were filed. Heads rolled, fines were levied. Tabloids elaborated on the alleged mishap and the water cooler was abuzz with different details about its size, shape and piercings. For the two weeks following the wardrobe malfunction the country was rocked by the controversy...

Me, I didn't care. I've seen a booby before, sometimes even two at once. No big deal. I was more worried about the giant stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons aimed at the USA. After all, my president had undeniable, airtight evidence they'd be there and even placed our brave soldiers in harm's way to arrest their implementation.

Now, after the ballots are counted and he's still king, the Administration tells us that there are no weapons. Yet there's no statement that the war was based on false pretenses. No apology, no justification, no "oops". Nothing. Only a statement that they ain't there. Like sheep we flip the station to see what the wacky guys on Will and Grace are doing. We comment on Robin Meade's hair and wonder what Paris Hilton might be up to.

"Donald Trump is going to fire the blond guy tonight!"

The water cooler is quiet, commissions aren't forming, panels don't care. The ants keep bringing the sugar to the queen, the lemmings fall off the cliff. The brightly colored cars go around the track while dopes cheer and eat Moon Pies, the flag waves, Calendar pages fly off, the debt increases, soldiers die, we get dumber.

When will we ever hold the president accountable for bad policy and deception? Ever? Clinton was impeached because he got some skull and lied about it. At the time I said that he lied under oath and should have been removed from office. Does anyone other than me see that this is one billion times worse? Anyone? Anyone?

Is there someone out there that really believes the Ten Commandments and feels that President Bush, Condoleeza rice, Donald Rumsfeld et al., "bore false witness"? Where are you? Is there a good conservative that believes in personal responsibility and accountability? Where are you?

All I hear is a collective "Zzzzzzzzzzz". Nobody realizes we've been duped, and those that do either are saying nothing about it or are being squelched by blind supporters of the Administration and its crooked agenda.

Imaging of misplaced mammary tissue doesn't bring an end to great nation. If it did America would have been toast the day after Al Gore invented the internet. However, lies, distortions and misrepresentations without accountability from the leadership, tied to a population of apathetic, brainwashed, fat and happy Wal-Mart zombies certainly might. Goodnite America. Nice knowin' ya.
