In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

Religious fundamentalists are motivated by the sneaking suspicion that someone, somewhere, is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.

Happy No Fuckin' WMD Day

Brother Driftglass reminds me that January 13, 2006 was the first anniversary of No Fucking WMD Day, the day when the Bush Administration's hand-picked arms inspector in Iraq threw in the towel and admitted there were no WMD's and no program to produce them in Iraq.

Three years ago, President Bush stood up in front of the American people and said Iraq was in possession of 26,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons - which is one million pounds - of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, 30,000 missiles to deliver the stuff, mobile biological weapons labs, al Qaeda connections, and uranium from Niger for use in a robust nuclear weapons program. He said all this three years ago, during the State of the Union address, and all of it was a lie. And no amount of hysterical historical revisionism is going to change that fact, no matter how much the 101st Fighting Keyboarders whine and pout with their cheeto-stained fingers while frantically blogging from their mommy's basement. They can shout "Iraqi Freedom! Saddam! Osama! Liberation!" all they want, but where's those million pounds of VX nerve agent? Where's those 30,000 missiles? Where's those mobile fucking biological weapons labs, assholes? Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Anybody who believes anything that this Administration says today -- *ANYTHING* -- is just a pathetic fool whose head is stuck so far up George W. Bush's ass that all he can see is George's small intestine. And the fact that the Democrats continue to have their heads stuck so far up their own assholes that they're not able to see this and take advantage of it, well, right now I pretty much have The Fixer's opinion of the gutless, spineless sycophantic ass-lickers who are the majority of the Democrats in Congress today. They aren't about to grow a spine. They're still too busy being invertebrates who should be submitted as entries to the Circus of the Spineless.

So the question of "What next" comes up. The Busheviks have been in power for five years now. There is no effective opposition to their rule. Right now, it appears that concentration camps for American citizens do not exist only because there aren't any American citizens willing to effectively resist the Bush junta that has thus far stolen two straight elections by scrubbing tens of thousands of black voters off the voter rolls in Florida and throwing away tens of thousands of votes in Ohio. Indeed, if you even mention the fact that George W. Bush was selected, not elected, you are automatically a raving frothing-at-the-mouth lunatic. People do not want to hear it. They don't want their pathetic little lives of defecation and mastication and fornication and accumulating shiny baubles of no import to be disrupted by having to, like, actually do something.

That, in the end, is why the Democrats are behaving like the spineless invertebrates that they are. They've talked to their voters. They realize that most of their voters simply don't want to know the truth -- that the country has been hijacked and held in thrall by a bunch of un-American liars and thieves who are looting the country blind and who will, once they finish looting the last few dimes from the empty husk of the nation, then move on to enjoy their loot in some Caribbean paradise somewhere. Most people still want to believe that their public officials are actually ordinary politicians, no different from any other and thus nothing to get alarmed about. It's not true, but truth is not what most people want. Lies to justify their apathy and ignorance is what most people want. And the Busheviks give them this. We will never wake these people up with the truth, because they don't want to hear the truth. Only lies -- bright and shiny lies -- can penetrate the defensive shell of the average American.

The question, then, is how to deal with purveyors of lies -- the Bush administration and their hoard of ass-licking sycophants -- without yourself being corrupted and becoming yet another corrupt bunch of purveyors of lies. I do not know the answer to that question. But knowing the answer to that question is the only way to create a viable opposition to the Bushevik regime. Otherwise we are stuck in the position of Sophie Scholl, exhorting our fellow Americans to stand up against those who would take our liberties and freedoms from us, and getting uselessly executed as our reward when the Busheviks finally take absolute power and can deal with their opponents as they wish.

In the meantime, the lies pile up in vast reeking drifts of flying monkey shit. Sooner or later, you'd have to think, "Surely the stench will get to be too much for the American people to tolerate?". But perhaps they are getting used to the stench, like people downwind from a stockyard... in the meantime, I hope you had a happy No Fuckin' WMD Day!
