They hate our freedom, but love our chicken

Apparently Syria is in love with KFC. Go figure. Yeah, when they're not assassinating Lebanese nationalist leaders or sending mad bombers to blow our soldiers up in Iraq, the average Damascus dimwit likes to chow down on a three-piece meal. And who says globalization doesn't work?

Bush keeps running around swearing that illegally spying on Americans is essential to democracy. That's like saying cocaine snorting is a requirement for taking aspirin. Or hell, you choose a better metaphor. I'm tired of this idiot's crap. He's even got Chief Torture Bitch in Charge of Subverting Freedom Gonzales out there, saying we are being "misled" by those who call these Gestapo tactics illegal. Misled? You mean, the "compassionate conservative" you call a boss who doesn't believe in nation building who is a "fiscal conservative" who turned a $5 trillion surplus into a $5 trillion deficit and who creates fictions to invade nations is NOT the one misleading us? Oh, my bad.

Hey, you can actually agree with Saddam on something. He wants Iran to stop "meddling" in Iraqi affairs. That makes about all of us, pal.

Bad news from a military analyst who says our army is near a breaking point. Can someone in charge please pull their head out of their butt long enough to support our troops by doing more than buying Chinese-made-profits-direct-to-the-Red-Army magnets for their SUVs? Just a thought.

Ah well. At least the Olympics and Super Bowl are coming to distract us. Yay, bread and circuses!
