Sobering statistics.

Makes you real terrified for the future of America, doesn't it? Well, it should. You should be horrified. You should be outraged, clamoring for this "president" to be impeached at once. Possibly even tried in international courts, like Milosevic.

But this ain't gonna happen. Most Americans are wilfully ignorant, most get all of their news from television, and that is the absolute last place you'll find balance or truth. Who owns TV news? The right wing, of course. Billionaires. "Liberal" media, my ass.

We're doomed, y'all. The electorate are lemmings, marching to their doom.

Oh. And Happy Chinese New Year.

I won't comment on most of these; however, as is The Independent's modus operandi, most are misleading at best.

Two specific items:

0: Number of coffins of dead soldiers returning home from Iraq that the Bush administration has allowed to be photographed

0: Number of funerals or memorials that President Bush has attended for soldiers killed in Iraq

The photographs-of-coffins issue is a military mandate, not an administration mandate. Quite properly, it is a measure of respect for the fallen soldiers.

No president attends the funerals of soldiers killed in a war. There are procedural & substantive issues involved -- I can point you to some references if you'd like.

Happy Year of the Green Monkey! I think.
