Last Full Measure of Devotion

On Saturday, it has been my habit to write about serious stuff, but this week, the serious stuff has been so laughable, I can hardly believe that this is reality. I hate to tell all of the fans of Descartes out there, but his conclusion "I think; therefore, I am" has been proven to be a bunch of bullshit this week. Because if that philosophical stance were true, the president would not exist -- because he cannot be a thinking, sentient being.

Bush hasn't been thinking very much at all because he made up stuff about Iraq and Al-Qaeda that just wasn't true ... weapons expertise, weapons of mass destruction, and a base in Iraq, he has said in the past are links between Saddam and Al-Qaeda.

But he still holds fast to the notion that there was "a relationship between Saddam and Iraq and Al-Qaeda." Why? "Because there was a relationship," that's why. Aaaah ... I get it ...

And Descartes held to the reasonable idea never to accept anything as true if there is no evident knowledge of it being true. Our vice-president, Dick Cheney, who not only gets a salary from U.S. taxpayers, but from Halliburton, too (two-timing the American people, so to speak), doesn't like Descartes, either. He has stated categorically and unequivocally that the major player in the WTC attack, Mohammed Atta, met with Iraqis in Prague to get aid from Iraq, maybe even for the WTC attack. Despite probably knowing much more than the 9/11 Commission and having all the "evidence," instead of producing the "evidence," Cheney goes with this argument to support his claim: Maybe I can't prove it, but you can't prove it didn't happen. So there. You got me, Dick.

I think it's time to ring the bell on these two -- recess is over. This is not the playground, George and Dickie. Those aren't toy soldiers you're playing with in the sandbox and burying.

Act like responsible adults ... go to just one funeral. There's one in Bristow, VA, close to your office, Mr. Bush, for Capt. Humayun S. M. Khan, who was killed June 8th.

Better yet, Mr. President, go on the campaign trail at taxpayer expense, and give a speech at the burial of Pfc. Thomas D. Caughman, one of your 20-year-old, weekend-warrior Reservists, from Lexington, SC, who was killed June 9th. Then you can head out west to Corvallis, OR, for an appearance at the funeral service for another Reservist, Spc. Eric S. McKinley, who was killed June 13th. And on your way home to Texas, you can stop in and say "Happy Father's Day" to Pfc. Shawn Atkins' dad when he lays his 20-year-old son to rest in Parker, CO.

Same as it ever was.

Anyone else had enough of this?
