Once again, the mind recoils...

[Elidor]

...A week away from the pooter and the world seems unhinged. (I cut off the cable several months back.) Quick stops to my favorite haunts on the internet; Josh Marshall and Atrios give me some context to the madness, as well as additional details of young boys raped and an old woman ridden like a donkey. Kevin Drum defines the CEO president so perfectly I could frame it. Rumsfeld tries to justify his war and Feith actually has the gall to say that the failure to find WMD cannot be used to undermine the rational for war.

And once again, the people who made the mess insist that the mess is proof they need MORE POWER to address the mess.

MORE POWER.
WAR IS PEACE.

I could just withdraw from the whole crazy world and pretend it doesn't exist. Would that be any more insane than the mindset that rules us now?
