What about the election SHAMS in the US?

Change! … he said.

What change, I ask. Rhetorical change … sure … but the substance? I have a friend who loves O’Bama simply because O’Bama is not Bush (W) … and who feels better about his life with O’Bama as president. Sure O’Bama says nice things … Reagan said things that made me feel good … but the substance … the reality … the day to day behavior of the empire … the fact that we spend TWICE the amount of the rest of the world combined on our military … the fact that we have more military bases scattered around the world than the rest of the nations in the world have military bases … that we can’t win in Iraq for the very same reasons we lost in Vietnam … that the only countries we can defeat seem to be those like Grenada … and still we posture … still we bully … still we threaten … taht we still, despite the rise of the Chinese industrial base, pour more toxins per capita into the atmosphere than anyone else … we rape and pillage and plunder resources … and still we elect fools … whether they mangle the language or speak with a harvard-enhanced vocabulary …

We still are the empire that Darth Vader could have been proud of …

… so just where in the hell is Like Skywalker?

And, where is the shame … the admission that we are no better than Haiti?

But, then, I am a skeptical cynic … and tired of the hypocrisy and sick of the so-called progressives who whine and rant into the blogoshere … jsut like me …
