The Domesticated Primate

This is a week from Bizarro World. It's announced just before the election that Saddam is going to be put to death...then the Democrats win big, if only because the Republicans are so blatantly corrupt.

Then Rumsfeld steps down...is there any connection between this "stepping down" and the charges that folks are trying to file against him? Are the handlers trying to get him out of the spotlight beforehand?

Besides the current alleged crimes Counterpunch also has a great article pondering if Rumsfeld will also be implicated in the same crimes that Saddam was indicted on.

It's all so surreal. I mean, it was surreal in the first place that someone allegedly helping to enable Saddam commit the crimes that he was charged with was presiding over a war directed against that same former ally, and helping to bring him to justice. Read that again, and let it sink in. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read the Counterpunch article and Google a bit on Rummy and Saddam. Again, that Colbert quote comes to mind: "reality has a liberal bias". I know Republicans like to always remind us that, this is now, that was then...what can we do about it, yadda yadda. Well, apparently, we can still blame Saddam for things that happened in the 80's. Interesting how that hypocrisy thing works...

And this captioned photo has to be the funniest thing I've seen in ages.
