Lawn Fight at the White House?

A MEDIA THAT IS HAPPY TO HEAR THE MASTER'S VOICE.
ONE LIGHT BULB AT A TIME!


The partisan uproar over his nomination of Harriet Miers which more resembles a hen fight while the barnyard burns overlooks some of the more interesting aspects of the cozy dysfunctional relationship Bush maintains with his “inner circle.” Corporate “news” media, being another curse, like religion, upon the laboring classes seeking information to survive on, does have among the dregs of talking heads and blow - dried hair brains a display of some rare moments of clarity.

Usually it is hard to find, but in this case some old-fashioned beat reporter work into photojournalism laid out an interesting timeline on a certain photograph “filed” and how it “moved” into the safe obscurity of the terminal 24-hour loop back in August, 2001.

Corporate copyright laws prevent me from publishing the illuminating Associated Press photograph so follow the links to get a gander at it and the short follow – up to its questionable history. Yet, what would it matter that all the clueless involved in his “inner circle” passed an insignificant paper overlooked by a potential new Supreme Court justice? Even if that insignificant paper led to the slaughter of several thousand people a few weeks later, then a dishonest “war” for oil reserves costing hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives, what would that matter?

Who cares how right wing an unmarried, childless nominee to the Supreme Court is while the barnyard has lost all of the “eggs in the basket?” As I reported yesterday that Pat Robertson’s anti - choice ACLJ machine gave an “excellent” rating for her, even while the nutcase dominated of their movement are, according to National Public Radio opposing Harriet’s rise to power.

Confused yet? Join the rest of the flock.

- DISASTER NEWS -
LAYOFFS IN AN ENERGY CRISIS, THE BIRD FLU PANDEMIC
THE REDNECKS ARE RUNNING ON ONE CYLINDER AT 10MPG.
Mayor Ray “Get Off Your Asses” Nagin of New Orleans announced a phased lay – off of at least 3000 city workers this morning and apparently all the workers can do is walk off the job largely homeless, unpaid to the nearest open big box chain store..

Of course getting there might be a small problem since according to several industry analysts gasoline may reach $10 per gallon by December and natural gas will be at least 54% higher as the dead of winter sets in on America. Secretary of Interior Gail Norton reported that many of the antiquated one hundred steel rigs in the Gulf of Mexico were damaged and billions will be required to repair them. More Big Energy welfare checks to be cut soon?

Meanwhile at the little lawn fight at the White House yesterday the timid press hounds did manage to squeeze an answer and thereby a rare glimpse into his fearless mindset. Strange that the question yesterday about the "Avian Flu" was the first time anyone heard from his smirking countenance in public on the deadly subject. It did offer a rare look into his thoughts; mass quarantines, U. S. military invasions into America and a complete shutdown of any mass transportation. Meanwhile U. N. officials admit they aren’t sure what will happen, but it’s going to happen after Canada does something about it. At least someone cares.
