At a loss

So let me see if I have this right...

• Hezbollah kidnaps two soldiers, and as a result Israel unleashes untold carnage on Lebanon.
• Our Dear Leader, fresh from a summit of smack-talking and molestation, arrives back to the US just in time to send a rush shipment of bombs to facilitate said carnage.
• Meanwhile, the evacuation of Americans from Lebanon is proceeding pretty much like you think it might if you paid any attention to Katrina. And not only are people getting stranded, but the American government is asking people to pay their own way.
• If these Americans don't get out, they could get killed with American bombs.
• Meanwhile, Iraq is still on the fast track to hell, and the Bush Administration is quibbling over words.
• Our media, in between snazzy techno introductions, keeps coming back to what really matters-- the price of oil. Because really, what are mere human lives compared to the cost of filling up your SUV?
• And just to top things off, some people in this country are thrilled at all this because they think Jesus is coming in his Chevy Tahoe to take them all away.

God help us all. Posted by Jason at July 22, 2006 04:10 PM
