The end is near .... a contrarian view

Before you go off all half cocked and squirt my ass with a seltzer bottle,

lissin up fer a sec, 'k?

With all this shit about the Newsweek story .... the UK memo .... blah, blah, fuckin' blah.

News comes out and the attack dogs are not days behind .... they're fucking **seconds** behind.

Not only has the speed with which the attacks are mounted picked up, so has their severity. Their viciousness.

Dan Rather saying he was sorry wasn't even close to adequate for them. They wanted his balls on a platter. And CBS served 'em right up.

"Would you like Worcestershire on that, Sir?" Then, bending over and dropping trou, they say: "May I have another, sir?"

And it seems to be incessant and unstoppable, these attacks on our very foundational institutions. They know no bounds, we say. How can we stop them, we wail. Knees a-knockin', teeth a-chatterin', hands a-wringin'.

But wait, say I.

Might it be ....... that they're scared shitless? Scared of what they see on the horizon? Scared of the seeds of popular displeasure that are around us now? Scared that we know the truth and are building to the point of using it?

Scared for their very survival?

Dogs don't often fight when they don't have to. But they sure do when cornered.

And these dogs may well be feeling cornered.

And wishing they were the real deal ... real junkyard dogs.


This contrarian essay brought to you in the name of grumpy clowns everywhere .... and in a spirit of inciting you to .... discuss ....

it's been a long time in the making.

I was just positing an alternate view. I'm interested in hearing if anyone sees it this way.

I, personally, am feeling much less depressed about the rhetoric--it has an air of desperation--and the minute ANYBODY, other than Dick Cheney, thinks Dick Cheney is any way a viable candidate, then they must be getting nervous

this means, though, that we need to fight twice as hard

there is a certain suspicious nature around the speed and ferocity of their attacks....you very well may be right.

That this might be an attempt to kill two birds with one stone.
The war is a total disaster, a scape goat is needed, and the media isn't quite reined in yet. What could a poor administration do about that?

How about leaking a story to a magazine they particularly don't like, then make sure every Muslim finds out about it. Make sure riots starts and then blame the magazine.
It's now the medias fault that the US can no longer work with the Iraqis. All the riots and killings can from now on conveniently be blamed on Newsweek.

Just a thought............
