White House: A Mind of His Own (Who Cares?)

I post this article as an example of just how unreal things have become in this nation.

Why would anyone care if the White House is switching one homegrown professional liar with one that is more polished and apparently, does, on occassion, think?

The nation hangs perilously close to abject disaster.

It is already a failed Democracy, given that we have had, at the very least, two stolen elections and are now governed by one party rule. There is no balance of power. The Constitution is being shredded daily. The Congress is practically complicit in Bush's misdeeds and out-right crimes.

We are bogged down in a criminal war of aggression in Iraq, based on documented lies, where further atrocities have been committed. Our national flag lies in bloody tatters and we have lost our standing and respect in the world community. Many of us will not see it restored in our lifetimes.

Our grandchildren, some of whom are not even in school yet, are already thousands in debt, that is not even there own and for which they have nothing to show. Plus, they will get to reap what the Bush administration has sowed in the world over the last 5 years. Our world is not safer. It is much more dangerous for Americans, and for others around the world.

Our nation is now owned by China, Saudia Arabia and Japan, while the corporate CEOs and other corporate officers in Bushworld make billions and get tax breaks out the wazoo. Bush is doing everyhing he can to cause class warfare of a kind he won't like. He is succeeding and the media seems blissfully unaware of it.

More people are without healthcare, jobs that pay well enough to live on, or shelter (as more people lose their homes to foreclosure than have since the great depression.)

Global warming threatens to make it all mute in a shroter time than anyone expected

Given all of that good news and more, Tony Snow is the least of my concerns. Anyone associated with this White House will be considered a liar unitil proven otherwise. That doubles when the someone was also associated with Faux News.

The media has become much too immersed in itself, which is intersting, given that it makes itself more irrelevent everyday.

White House: A Mind of His Own - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com:

"May 8, 2006 issue - It started as a lunch between old colleagues, and ended as a job interview. Tony Snow and Josh Bolten had been friendly for years. The two worked together in George H.W. Bush's White House and had kept in touch ever since. Not that they'd always agreed. Snow is no liberal (he sometimes fills in for Rush Limbaugh), but the Fox News pundit and radio host had also been one of the president's most unsparing conservative critics. 'When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can't say no,' Snow once remarked."
