The great vomitous news mass

When I fired up the laptop this morning and cruised over to Memeorandum to see what's buzzing in the blogs, it was exceptionally depressing. Sometimes I simply can't face the nuttiness.

For example, there is just no way that anyone with two brain cells to rub together sincerely believes that the latest privacy violation of the Bush Administration is good policy. Going through the banking records of Americans with no probable cause is completely inappropriate. And Bush thinks its "disgraceful" that the Times reported the story.

Of course Bush thinks its disgraceful! He doesn't like being caught doing shit he shouldn't be doing. But its so tedious to see the massive list of "yes we'll kiss your ass" blogs defending this garbage. These bloggers don't think what Bush is doing is right and proper. I doubt they've bothered to put that much thought into it. They're merely cheerleading their team leader.

The alleged "war on terror" is in its essence an excuse for the government to expand its powers and then use them against political enemies. Its all wrapped up with a shiny, nationalism-colored-as-patriotism bow (see also ass covering with Old Glory).
