Can we sink any lower? Is there anyone -- anyone -- out there with such a poorly developed sense of humanity (forget ethics of morality) who thinks that the soldiers described shouldn't have their dicks (or clits -- we've certainly proven that evil knows no gender boundaries) chopped off and fed to them with rancid mayonnaise?
Meanwhile, at the "top," the press is doing a wonderful job of burying most stories about Riggs and their links to the Saudis, including providing money-laundering operations that might well have financed terrorist groups.
But what's really buried is the fact that the CEO of Riggs is some guy named Jonathan Bush, whose brother is a former president, and whose nephew is the worst and most vile president in US history.
Hey, if a presidential brother (or daughter) drinks too much, that's a story. But commits ethical lapses bordering on treason (and unquestionably criminal)? Hey, that's not news.
(then again, Dubya and his brothers are all pretty much cut from the same cloth as Uncle Johnny, they just didn't associate with terrorists when they committed most of their financial crimes).
Not that any of this matters in John Ashcroft's Amerika, where speech is free when you act all happy-like, and costly when you don't.
Next time I go to Kroger, I may have to keep an eye out for Constitution Brand Toilet Paper. It's pretty fucking obvious that Shrubya doesn't have any other plans for it.
