As I write this, the Extra Bold Sumatra is flowing and Ballroom Blitz (
The Ark cover, thanks
Ajay!) is pumping.
Al Gore won a frikin'
Oscar and is on track to pick up a
Nobel Prize later this year. Congress has issued it's
first round of subpoenas regarding "corruption and mismanagement allegations on everything from pre-war Iraq intelligence to the mishandling of the response to Hurricane Katrina."
Spring is coming to America, and not a moment too soon. From
9/11 fear mongering, to the
dilution of American civil liberties, to the utter
squandering of world-wide good will towards America, to
lying to Congress and the American people, to
unprecedented and unwarranted expansion of executive power to the detriment of our democratic system, to the criminal bungling and incompetence of the
Katrina (NSFW) disaster, to
illegal wiretapping, to
government sponsored kidnapping, detainment, and torture of civilians around the globe without regard for human rights, due process, international or Constitutional law, this Administration has set the stage for the most significant social, cultural, and political change our nation has yet to experience.
Hold on to your hats kids, 'cause our country is barreling towards the looking glass, the hatter is at the switch, and the rails are greased. What happens when the richest, most technologically advanced nation the world has ever known wakes up, takes a swig of the morning brew and realizes just how surreal our world has become under the sway of fear, uncertainty and doubt?
