Executive or Imperial?

Like Cheney our next in line for the throne, I too had to take several hours to soak in what has happened and the implications of his hunting "accident".

I laughed into an asthmatic attack while watching the Daily Show with John Stewart that Monday night(Feb 13) after the story broke. Letterman and Leno were funny but the "mainstream" media's paranoia restrained their canned jokes.



While the conservative talk shows, talking heads, media, and op eds express their "outrage" at the whitehouse press corps so-called self appointed importance for feeling that the administration should have made a statement immediately following the incident. I am equally appalled at an adminstration that continues to operate in what is properly being labeled a cloud of secrecy.

Conservatives go on and on about the arrogance of the press I feel it is more arrogant for elected officials to believe that they have no accountability to the people that ELECTED them.

I find it very troubling that the Congress and conservative media were able to get a special prosecutor and congressional investigations into a supposed crooked land deal in Arkansas back in the 1980's when Bill Clinton was NOT PRESIDENT. But can't seem to get real results from any of the congressional hearings surrounding unethical, questionable, and criminal activity of Bush or Cheney.

The sad thing is, this is funny to conservatives. They have spewed their hatred and intolerence over the airwaves. Forced it through the world by the barrel of a gun and ignited violence and instability in the middle east. They do these evil things to push their agenda of greed and privilege while trying to convince the people that they are on a mission from God?

My question is who's God? Jesus was against war and intolerence. They certainly are not on a war for the God that Jesus represented. Jesus fed the multitudes with fish and loaves that were offered. He didn't formulate that those who had the most to offer should keep more of their offering while those with less starved.

Today I am going to investigate how hunting accidents are usually handled by law enforcement.
I'll post that article later.
