War on America

Read in USA Today that 2 days after stinging, humiliating defeat at the hands of US voters, the Republican-controlled Department of Defense is gearing up to fight the lefties of South America once again. As if the DoD doesn't have its hands full in Iraq, it's returning to its old ways of kidnapping and torturing popular revolution to death in Latin America. The School of the Americas returns with a vengeance.

They learn nothing. If the bastards had let Che live, they might have learned a thing or two about insurgency.

A Government of Lunatics

After declaring the United States to have fallen to al-Qaeda (see Abu Aardvark), our government is arresting diplomats on charges of terrorism. That's right, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro was held at JFK Airport on suspicion of terrorism. What act of terrorism?, you may ask. Participation in the 1992 coup attempt in Venezuela. After thinking it over, ChimpCo, through aptly named spokesman Gonzo Gallegos, let him go. Aw, mighty generous, diplomatic immunity means something to them...not like the Geneva Accords or our Constitution. [The spooks at JFK had the gall to say they did not notice "diplomat" stamped on the passport.]
