You know, there's going to come a time when the American people take after the whole Bush cabal with pitch forks, hoes, and torches.

We've already got the goods on them. In any normal situation, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, White, five members of the Supreme Court, Janet Rehnquist, Olson, and a stadium full of others would have been forced to resign. Most of them would be subjects of grand jury investigations.

In fact, the longer they hold power, the worse it's going to be on them. We aren't going to forget their various schemes that made the September 11 attacks possible, and we won't forget the way Bush has wrecked the economy, and transmuted peace to war.

Every time they pull another Orange Alert stunt, they dig their hole deeper. They keep announcing that Bush himself made the decision. In December, it turned out to be based on wrong information. In February, it turned out to be based on wrong information. Did they check? We'd like to think they are only completely incompetent, but....

We won't forget Rove's enthusiasm for using war to stifle internal dissent. In this country, we should trust that the White House would never issue a terror alert for political reasons. And yet we have quotes from White House sources in mainstream newspaper, where they admit that the decision was political. We see Powell lie and distort desperately, how can we believe *anything* these people say?

The Republican Party is going down, too, like England's Conservative Party, only worse. The nexus of evil -- greed, hate, war -- will explode. Corrupt corporate fatcats like Cheney, Bush, White, Snow, and the rest will be excluded from government. The right-wing religious kook hate-mongers will have to make their own new party of white supremacists. The warmongers will be shut down.

The best thing Republicans can hope for is that *all* of Bush's proposals are rejected, and he chooses not to run in 2004. No, best would be an Agnew/Nixon resignation scheme that leaves a woman Democrat in the presidency for the last year of the term.

Otherwise, things are going to get exciting.

Poor Dim Bulb. There he is, demanding the UN show "courage and backbone" or be seen as an "irrelevant debating society"!!!???

Hello? Earth to Rove, Earth to Rove!

The UN *is* showing courage and backbone, standing up to unilateral military aggression and a torrent of bribes, blackmail, back-stabbing, and propaganda. If the UN rubber-stamped this despicable runt's wars of conquest -- remember, Iraq is only the first (Bush's Sudetenland) -- it would indeed be an irrelevant debating society.

Instead, the UN is suddenly a world-class institution. We made it, after all. We wrote that Charter that says military force can only be used after an explicit Security Council resolution after all other options have been tried.

Of course a good propagandist has to say the opposite of what's true -- first, loudest, longest. If you think about it that way, Bush's speechwriter may not be so stupid, after all, eh?

Scary rumor of the day: Al Qaeda may be developing weapons that can penetrate duct tape. Sources as close to the White House as a bad case of dandruff say Iraq may be giving Al Qaeda a new generation of anti-duct tape devices. Sources as close to Tom Ridge as mayonnaise on white bread say Ridge intends to request emergency funds to research a next-generation duct tape that would make Bin Laden squeal and run back to a cave.

The UN Disarmament Agency fears an all-out duct tape race that could bankrupt both the United States and the terrorists. Europeans are calling for a treaty with verifiable limits on duct tape technology and stocks.

Congratulations, world, on the largest anti-war protests in history.

You've made a darned good advertisement for today's march in San Francisco. After rain last night, the sky out my window is blue, blue. A lovely day for a peace march.

See you there!
