I recently went to Disney World on vacation and cruised to the Bahamas on a 10 day honeymoon trip.

the trip was great and i won't go too much into details because I'm not one to gloat or boast. lets just say the last 10 days of my life were better than yours.

However, there is this whole kind of creepy, cult-like underbelly to Disney World. Don't get me wrong, I had an amazing time and I would love to go again. There is just this whole weird, Orwellian vibe going on.

There was this attraction called The American Adventure...which was very propoganda-ish. The thing was hosted by an animatronic Ben Franklin, who was a staunch Libertarian...a man who would literally shit in his pants if he saw the current state of our nation. They should have got someone to host it who was more like our current influential American leaders...maybe Julius Caesar or King George I.

In the 2004 election, the evangelical Christians, or "bible-humpers" as more unrefined folks would call them, surprised the country by coming out in droves and scoring a victory for American empire. (version 2.0. )

Their primary reason for impassioned political involvement was the fact that in many states, the gay marriage amendment was also on the ballot. Depraved homosexuals in wedding dresses...inside of the same places they baptize their children and mourn their loved ones in...the idea alone brought them bowel-shaking earthquakes of anxiety and nausea. This guttural disdain got them out to the polls when the election came around.

Fast forward 2 years...

Ted Haggard...the man who has been credited with rallying the evangelicals in the last election and has literally been called "the leader of the Evangelical movement" is busted buying Crystal Meth and plowing male prostitute Mike Jones while he's tweaked out. Read More

Let's pretend America is a mid-size sedan, careening down highways and by-ways all over the world.

And driving the car right now is Bush and the Republican Congress.

In the passenger seat, the Democrats.

The Republicans have been driving for a while now.

Last month, Steven D posted a diary asking if anyone knew if Riverbend, girl blogger from Baghdad Burning was still alive. As far as I know, the question has yet to be answered.

It has now been over 2 months since her last post, and I grow more and more worried that something has happened to her.
I, like many others, look forward to her blog posts. They are a dose of truth and reality when there is so little in the world right now, from a source that is undeniable.

Not a reporter miles and miles away in the green zone.

She is the real deal...on the front lines. A citizen of the chaos we have created.

He does it once again.

Here's the Special Comment from tonight.

Some excerpts:

Yesterday at a fundraiser for an Arizona congressman, Mr. Bush claimed, quote, "177 of the opposition party said, `You know, we don't think we ought to be listening to the conversations of terrorists.'"
The hell they did.
One hundred seventy-seven Democrats opposed the president's seizure of another part of the Constitution.
Not even the White House press office could actually name a single Democrat who had ever said the government shouldn't be listening to the conversations of terrorists.
President Bush hears what he wants.
Tuesday, at another fundraiser in California, he had said, "Democrats take a law enforcement approach to terrorism. That means America will wait until we're attacked again before we respond."
Mr. Bush fabricated that, too.

Stupid pretentious introductory statement involving a reference to war, terrorism, pop culture, or politics. Continued self-important rambling against various aspects of chosen subject, followed by incredibly inflammatory snide remark that serves as a closing sentence in the introductory paragraph.

Statement instructing the reader that more lies beyond the fold, as if they didn't already know that.... Read More

First of all, let me just say this diary contains some adult language. It's funny that we call it adult language...considering it is at times, very childish to use. But in this instance, I believe it is appropriate.

Any reasonable person who watched the press conference today will tell you this:
Our president is just a straight up asshole.

I am just fucking disgusted by the condescending manner in which this primate conducts himself.

Mr. President...well, let's just forget that you're the President. Forget that you are supposed to be a "compassionate conservative."
Forget all that and let's just say you're a human being.
Human beings don't mistreat and talk down to other people like they are their goddamn unwanted pets. Read More

The world changed on 9/11.

And the U.S. changed it.

The terrorists didn't change it.

The 19 men on those 4 planes committed a terrorist attack that killed thousands of people.

But they didn't change the world.

We changed it.

We could've dealt with the attack with maturity and intelligence.

With practically the whole world behind us, we could've increased security in our own country where it counts, and we could've conducted a full scale retaliation in Afghanistan, including finding Osama and shooting his cock off.

Instead, we had the happy monkey-boy cowboy President and his legions of old, chickenhawk, neocon scumbuckets seize the tragedy for their own personal and global ambitions, and they diverted us from everything we should've been doing, and we ended up putting all of our resources and attention into a completely fucking irrelevant, illogical occupation that only increases the diameter of the bull's eye on our back every day our boots remain on the soil.

a lot of hair in the next couple months. Because being the Democratic Senate candidate can be stressful. Hopefully not this much hair:

Look at that! That's not a forehead, that's a fivehead!!

After Lieberman loses tommorow, there will be a void here at DK. Our little kissy kiss punching bag neocon in Democrats clothing will be gone.

And I think a part of us will miss him.

So in the spirit of this, on the eve of the primary, I would like to devote this diary to your favorite photoshopped, and even unaltered images of Lieberman.

Call it a farewell tribute of sorts.

Here are a couple to start us off:

I recently came out of another heated Israel-Lebanon debate...this one was in thereisnospoon's diary. i like his writing and am usually in total agreement with anything he says, but we were in serious disagreement on the Middle East.

His diary was basically supporting Israel's actions, saying they had no other choice, and that they were justified in their actions.

There were a lot of supporters who were spouting off lots of rhetoric but were failing to convince me that Israel should get a free pass to commit war crimes because they are victims of terrorist attacks from time to time. I guarantee you ask the the families of the murdered...the thousands of wrongfully imprisoned Palestinians and they will tell you Israel is not the victim.

One theme that kept repeating within the pro-Israel group was the "hiding behind kids" technique of Hizbollah.

This is a popular talking point for the Israeli government to excuse civilian casualties.

This graphic was even used in a comment:

That bastard! The nerve of that hooded heathen! Hiding behind a baby! Read More
