The Sunshine Empire

With Senate Majority Leader Harry Read deciding to carry through on an all-night session of the United States Senate, two distinct will occur. For the first time there will be an honest and thorough debate that should have occurred before we went to war. The other is something only appreciated by true political nerds and wrestling fans not stoned on a Tuesday evening at Midnight, viscous dog fights with blood on the nice carpet. But it will also serve to show two things. One is that for all of the Republican crowing about the accomplishments in the 110th Congress by the Democratic majority, they have been employing the same dastardly tactic that those wretched evil Democrats did in the last, cloture. It takes 60 votes to end debate on a subject and proceed to an up-or-down vote. The same up-or-down vote that republicans said in the last Congress (when they controlled) that the Democrats use of the same tactic was tantamount to coup-de-tat by the minority party, are quietly using it nary a peep from the insidious trilateral commission controlled liberal media.

Also raising no eyebrows as we sit in the warm bath with our wrists slit in Mesopotamia, China is soon to become the worlds third largest economy. This nation shows no signs of slowing down on it’s robust robust growth and growing military might. In the decade that most conservatives look at as the paragon of American history, this nation was a creditor nation, and our economic might was what won us the Cold War, and not that senile, jelly bean eating voodoo economist. George Bush came to power with the absurd claim that two divisions of the Army could not report and that Mr. Clinton had somehow ruined the United States Armed Forces. He uttered nary a peep with he scored a lightning victory in a remote and dangerous region of the world with the same Army he claimed was broken. Keeping in mind he and Rummy did not construct a brand new army in the period from late January to early October. It took them 6 months to move thirty thousand troops.

Most who argue for a continuation of our mission there with no change, state what a disaster it would be if our boys left. There will be a disaster whatever time we leave that place. Sean Hannity will claim we lost because of the viscous news media that so insidiously sit in their ivory towers planning the demise of their own country filled with seething hate. But this all is the fault of George Walker Bush. We are now 0-2 in wars fought by Texan Presidents, and this should finally teach us that we need to build that wall around that state and be done with it. They’ve been a little too full of themselves for too long. The marketing industry what’s us to know that every new product we buy will be Texas Chipotle flavored. I hear they have barbecue toothpaste in Amarillo. Texas hold’em even made it into the newest Bond movie. and Fuck the Texas bacon whopper and king of the hill. Actually I like King of the Hill. But we should learn our lesson about the rest of it. God save the rest of us.
