Quote from: CannedLizardHere's a small ray of good news: it's believed that John Ashcroft and Tom Ridge are stepping down, and that Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell (the only human being on the Bush administration, unfortunately) will step down within the next four years. About time.

My worry is who will take their place.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Ridge, maybe...Ashcroft ain't going no fucking place.

Neither is Elaine Chou, or Donald Rumsfeld.  They are as much a part of the Bush administration as is Bush.

They are, as they say, a package deal.

Quote from: namuLooks like promotion time for Karl Rove. And you thought Ashcroft was bad.

Karl Rove CAN'T be promoted.  He's already on top.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired
signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not
fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.  This world in arms is not
spending money alone.  It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the
genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.  This is not a way
of life at all in any true sense.  Under the clouds of war, it is
humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
               -- Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
All I knew, all I believed
Are crumbling images
No longer comforting me.
Scramble to reach higher ground,
Order and sanity,
Something to comfort me.

I take what is mine, and hold what is mine,
Suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine.
Soon the water will come
And claim what is mine.
I must leave it behind,
And climb to a new place now.

This ground is not the rock I thought it to be.

   Tool, Flood

Do you believe
In the lies, the lies, the lies that shape your world?
Do you believe
In your own, your own, fictitious immortality?

The world won't end while you walk the earth
And when you realize that your life don't matter
You'll turn to something to help you forget
That you're only young once, old forever

And we become what we hate
(Don't think of us)

1984 is even scarier when you read it for the first time while Bush fights The War On Terror.

Heh, makes sense. I thought about signing up with the air force and specifically requesting EOD. I figured, I'd rather be cleaning up mine-fields and detonating misfired artillery shells from a distance, than actually shooting people... hell, that would be fun

but somehow I dont think they'd let me pick my job.

Actually, if your ASVAB score is high enough you can choose what you want.  The first time I went into the service I went in with a garunteed job in Intelligence.  It was part of my contract.  However, I think EOD is predominantly an Army/Marine function.  

actually i am considering going back into the Air Force by joining the Air National Guard. I figure working for an air refeuling wing will keep me fairly safe.  So I can spread a little discordianism from the inside, and get my student loans payed back, and get a Top Secret Security Clearance again, all at the same time.  Woohoo!

Safe.  Yes, as safe as Curtiss LeMays.

Congratulations.  You won't be killing Iraqis, you'll just be HELPING kill Iraqis...a people that never did us any harm.

Nonsense.  Even Curtiss LeMays had to start SOMEWHERE.  Given enough time and practice, you too could be killing brown people with the best of them.
