Myrln’s not a blogger. He’s an emailer. And every once in a while I think his email is worth sharing. I tend to agree with his point below about the Department of Disinformation.
I suppose we remember the proposed Dept. of Disinformation once proposed then withdrawn by the Dumbya gang. More than ever, I'm convinced it may have been apparently withdrawn but exists covertly to create confusion, conflicting stories, and keep the level of fear/concern as high as possible in the conviction that uncertain people will rely upon anything and everything their leaders tell them. Today's conflicting statements re WMD: not really the central reason for war, we're cutting back on searching weapons sites in Iraq, we're expanding numbers of those to search in Iraq, we're looking to mend fences with France/Germany, we're only praising Poland because they supported war, lowering terror alert level after just raising it (again on a national holiday), and on and on -- all convinces me the Dept. of Dis exists and functions at highest capacity upon the highest authority.
And Dean says Hilary would make a great president. Feh. I have no intention of supporting any major party candidate in any election for the rest of my life. Democracy in the US has become a joke, devoid of any of the original principles. It has been sold wholesale to special interests and big business. I will hereafter write in my own name for every office up for election.
Yah. It’s getting harder and harder to believe anything can be changed, no matter who runs, how many vote, and/or what we say/write/rant.
And speaking of the WMDs, No Utopia has creatively created an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE ENTIRE BRAIN TRUST OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IN ONE FELL SWOOP inspired by billmon's list of chronological quotes by the Bushites regarding the evolving non-existence of those nasty things
Feh. Yes. Much Feh.

Elaine!! I am thrilled with the links I garnered here at your place today. I am going to be very busy this week putting "stuff" on both my home- and my blogger site.
I was going to remain a mild mannered little old lady and not offend any right-wing blogger buddies by ignoring the disasters accumulating in our country today, but the gloves are off. What this crazy nincompoop has done, and is still doing, to our country, is not the time for me to be a wuss. So there!!!

Hey Lorraine. Glad to see that you're still stopping by. I gave your url to a reporter who was interviewing me about women and blogging. I figure that you're a great role model, you ol' tree-hugger, you. Can't wait to see what you wind up posting!!

I like that part about Democracy being sold "wholesale to special interests and big business," and kind of frightens me as a concept, the big picture---we have allowed our bi-partisan system to erode down the hillside, haven't we, taking the cherry tree down with it.
