Are you tidding me?

The red hot Chicago Cubs eked out a 3-1 series win over the Washington, D.C. Nationals last night at ancient RFK stadium. Lots of extra security was on hand for the cameras as well, as the National Pastime again hosted baseball's fan #1, President Bush, who, taking a break from his endless duties as Commander-in-Chief in time of war, terror, and high gas prices, took in a ballgame. An early birthday present. Now, ain't that America?

The warmonger ate 4 hot dogs in two innings, drank fourteen beers, threw-up on the dessert cart, and stiffed the help. He went home in the fourth inning, and finished it on TV. I know thousands of young people in Iraq would love to take in a ballgame on a hot summer night.

In fact they would rather be home or anywhere else, but fighting for the future of the oil companies in Iraq. While even as they struggle, their loved one's economic hopes and dreams are being crushed with crippling energy price manipulations, and near universal government corruption and mendacity, they feel they are needed more here at home, fighting their real enemies. 

But we, as a society, simply refuse to act to eradicate the conditions that allow monsterous obscenities like the Bush Administration and it's corporate backers to thrive by committing the most heinous crimes against humanity with seeming impugnity. They won't stop the killing, and we can't make them, nyah! 

Take the kids, leave the Lexus. The over-paid chicken hawks in the old media understood it was their jobs at stake. The oligopoly was on, so shut the fuck up. So they lied, and then lied some more. And then they trowled on some mortar, one brick led to another. What followed were curtain calls, as they then roundly applauded themselves for their cleverness and seemingly keen discretion.

The war, it seems, has become a very touchy subject with the voters. Not that they have volunteered anything to the effort but the little tax-deduction. It'll need balance...The camera takes in a long shot of a snipers nest on top of the stadium. They don't smile or wave back. They know they're on TV, but the Natz' are just about to tie up the game. A major league game outing with their wife and kids would easily cost them each a month's pay. Who's tidding who?

Question: What year did George Bush trade Sammy Sosa to the Cubs?

Happy 61st. B-day, G.W.
