The Week That Was 9/21/2007

Another week. More preposterousness to report.

Well what a week to be a Senator! First you get to reject that relatively recent concept of Habeas Corpus, you know the one that came in with Disco. Then you get to tell soldiers that aren't members of your family that the wacked notion of wanting to spend as much time at home as you do in Iraq taking fire for Bush's folly is simply insane. And finally, you get to pressing matters such as condemning a television ad, and 22 moronic Democrats fall for it, while the wide-stanced troglodytes of the GOP get to laugh so hard they fall out of their closets.

So Gopers who support the troops about as often as Britney Spears wears underwear again get to play dress up like they're at a Rudy Giuliani surprise party. Swell.

Making things even better, right-wing members of your party who run a merc unit that handles firearms like Dick Cheney post-Lowenbrau are causing an international uproar and President Bush even found a way to regress on the evolutionary scale in his press conference from anthropod to Allen, George.

Sometimes I wonder if I went into the wrong profession.

** I apologize for the shortened length of this piece and my sparse posting lately. I have been busy over at Brave New Films where I have a new(ish) gig, so please come on by and I will continue to write my Friday satire pieces here as often as possible :)
