DAAAA-AAMMMNNN!!!! This Is One Comfortable Rabbit Hole...
I just can't figure out when it happened.

You know, when we all decided this rabbit hole we've fallen into is just sooooooo damned comfortable.

This rabbit hole, where the largest military and economy in the world, quail in fear over a country with a military budget 110 times smaller than ours, and a GDP 68 times smaller than ours, and is viewed as a more serious threat than Russia ever was at the height of the cold war. Little bitty, backwards Iran.

Terrifying, when viewed from this rabbit hole.

This rabbit hole, where 'signing statements' alter the fundamental nature of our Democracy, and make our Constitution not into a living document, but the butt of some terrible joke.

This rabbit hole, where if the President does it, it is legal, and where Congress should just shit their pants about it - and not ever stand up for the Constitution.

Yup.

It must be awfully comfortable, in this rabbit hole.

For here we sit, as we march headlong into another illegal war.

Here we sit, as our planet literally falls apart around us, and we spend our time on trivialities, like what kind of tea the Mad Hatter will be serving, and if we saw the latest episode of South Park, and if we should name the Veteran's Center in Bum Fuck Egypt the Bum Fuck Egypt Memorial VA Center.

Here we sit, surrounded by modern convenience, so very comfortable in our rabbit hole, all nice and toasty.

Like I said, we must be comfortable.

For we're still FULLY participating in (what I predict is) the last circus of our great American experiment.

We're all fully engaged in our lives.

We're still paying our taxes.

We're still going to school, to work, to church.

As if none of this is happening.

No wars, no threats of further wars, no economic meltdown, no global environmental crisis, no shredded Constitution.

It's business as usual, here in the rabbit hole.

...Isn't it?

1. Cut off half of Hillary's brain
and splice in 1/2 of Ron Paul's brain, and we'd be half way home.

PS,,, Ron Paul haters, I respect your opinion. Don't flame me, he's got no chance of winning..... But he is very anti-war, and nation building. And Hillary fans, you too, I'll vote for her if she win's the nomination.

Cheers.

11. Yeah, and Britney and K-Fed's custody battle is starting up again.
And Paris Hilton has postponed her trip to Rwanda.

3. The hole will come in handy
after we are bankrupt and evicted, not to mention the tasty grubs and roots we will have to chew on in the hallway.

4. That is why I am done
with only writing and calling. I joined progressive democrats of america and we are trying to start a progressive causus within the state party. Too many people are apathetic. They called two hundred people for tonights meeting and many said they would attend. You know how many did? 8. Pitiful. But it is a start and I think the only way to take back this country.

8. Hooray for your post! Bravo! You speak truth. I feel so cheated
and I am so incensed that we are still teaching our kids what I was taught and that our kids today are getting outrageous flaming lies. Blatant lies. In hindsight, we now know we were also lied to because this day of no democracy in America-U.S. started when many of we oldsters were young.

We are NOT a democracy. Why not just call this the -

UNITED FOOLS OF RABBIT HOLES.

Because we've been 'coup'ed' (as in 'koo' did').

So many people don't know it.
Some who know don't care.

Recommend! Kick!

10. Our government has become a corporation without conscience
And apparently only we Americans are willing to tolerate war criminals in our government, since France tried to arrest Rumsfeld for torture today...
