survival of the fittest?

the midterm elections are approximately twenty-eight days away. the big question is: will we survive?

team bush seems determined to do everything in its power to wipe america off the face of the planet. perhaps el presidente is under the impression that wearing his religion on his sleeve will save his soul. or maybe he believes, as the fundamentalists do, that he will miss global-thermo-nuclear war as the rapture takes him and the "truly faithful" away from it all.

of course, that is all supposition – that his higher power actually approves of what he has done and is doing. that the rest of the world is in the wrong and that america doesn’t have to listen to the concerns of the rest of the world, or even its own citizens. that God would approve of the rendition and torture of people; of the killing of innocent women and children in an illegal war; and of the death and mutilation of america’s young men and women to promote the war machine and make the rich richer.

while our fearless leader is busy pulling the wings off the flies in iran and iraq, another madman is busy testing nuclear weapons and likewise daring us to “bring it on.” it makes you wonder if you should start stockpiling canned goods and water, or move to a neutral site that might be out of harm’s way.


i’m thinking antarctica might be the place to go, if it weren’t for the global warming. but that’s a different concern.
