No news is good news...

That's what they say. That's what old wisdom says. That's what journalists would never say.

A couple of years ago, a team of jesters was "re-elected" (as if they had been elected in the first place!) into office by about half the American people, and lots of Americans were very sorry about it all (http://www.sorryeverybody.com).

Now, much later, CNN reports that a State Department report says, "Iraq is becoming a safe haven for terrorists."

That is no news. But that doesn't make it good news yet. For two very simple reasons, which every moron should be able to understand.

One - a major reason for invading Iraq at the time, was that it was considered to be a safe haven for terrorists. And it is becoming one now? Whoa, I'm really impressed. How much of an IQ does it take to come up with such an enlightening report!?

Two - (much more mundane), terrorism is never good news.

So, while old wisdom may be wrong, about half of the American people most certainly were wrong in picking the idiot card from the (very small) pack. Ah, yes, I know - Kerry wasn't considered to be a very good candidate, either. But does that justify voting for the Bush clan!? I mean, is it really so hard to see? Yeah, I know -he gave you back money at the start of his first term, my friends in the US (yes, there are smart people there that I am proud to have as friends) were all happy and delighted when they received one nice, small cheque of a couple hundred dollars!

One fucking cheque!

Is that worth knowingly electing a team into government which will spend a couple of hundred times again the money they gave you back on a war which cost thousands of American soldiers their lives?

C'mon, guys! You can't tell me that half of you are as stupid as this! I have a hard time believing that among 270 million people, there are only 49% who can tell a dead lightbulb from a working one!?

I'll cut you some slack, we aren't all geniuses over here, either. We've made some bad decisions. Our neighboring countries have made even worse ones. But what the fuck - I mean, you only have to look at Dubya once, listen to him for five fucking minutes, and you'll be able to tell that every potted plant on Earth is smarter, a better speaker and better looking than this idiot...

Live and learn, they say... I hope you live to learn, my friends...
