Today's Bit of Dark Humor

I was scanning the headlines today. I'm finding more and more that I crave prozac after taking a peek at what is going on in the world. Until I read the headline:

Seattle Post Intelligencer

Cheney Defends Use of Harsh Interrogations


How is this a headline? We know what he does to his friends...
I watched a comic who was saying that he's having a hard time with finding things to make funny - the administration is so beyond reality that how does one add a punchline to, "Cheney shoots friend in the face". You can't get more absurd than this administration.

I find it hard to collect and organize the words for the disgust I feel towards BushCo. Listening to the Declaration of Independence being read on Sunday prior to the Super Bowl turned my stomach. We founded this nation on principals of Freedom and escape from tyranny. Then we have this administration who is systematically stripping our citizens if their rights, perverting the values we stand for, running secret prisons, hold men for years and year with no trial in Cuba, believing we're above providing the basic human rights set out in the Geneva Convention.

I want it to stop and then I read about the election. I'm confident that there will be changes if the Democrats return to the White House. However, what would McCain do? He has been held as a POW, he has denounced torture, sort of at least. I'm not confident that he won't go into Iran. Will he be moral enough to not let big business pillage our government and denude our environment? I'm not so sure. This government has piled debt upon future generations, worked to deprive them of their natural heritage and done all it can to restrict civil rights.

Add to that the drone of, Recession - Bankruptcy - Economic Downturn...

Tomorrow I think I'll skip the news and just go walk the dog.
