I was disappointed in this article, however.
He thought it would not do so well, when quoted in the paper last week. I hope Mike Allen saw the news that Fahrenheit 9/11 did well here locally, despite being limited on the number of theater's showing it. I hope everyone can take deep breath before letting the blather slip out over the gums. My comments section is not immune either.
Starting now the ugliness of politics will begin a journey to reach a new zenith.
Bush will push the economy and do his best to have no news out of Iraq. Well they say much about bombings against Iraqis? Will US troops just hang out in their green zones while a civil war brews out in the streets? I fear a disengagement on the part of the US military and government on Iraq in the coming months. What will be telling is how BushCo reacts to the coming violence. What happened today in Iraq was a Geopolitical dog and pony show meant to provide rhetorical fodder for Bush, but no real change on the ground. Sovereignty in Iraq is a long way from a reality. The name of this game will be pin the sovereignty on the donkey. As fast as possible Bush will beat his feet towards the door, hoping not to have to leave a tip. BushCo is all but ready to pay the bill, but with one big ass coupon Congress foolishly gave them. Bronson can compare Iraq to the War of 1812 if he wants, that does not mean I will not call it incorrect and question his motives for it, which I feel are based on its value in manipulating support for Bush instead of the sound logic of the facts. You may disagree, but don't try to say I am a hypocrite. The problem here is folks that in my opinion, my comparison has 100 times more parallels than Bronson's. Now, before the right-wingers complain, yes, I am comparing Iraq to Vietnam, just like Bronson did to WWII. Yesterday, with the transfer of faux sovereignty, Iraq took a closer step to a Vietnam model, where the US propped up a government hanging on to power by their fingernails. The rhetoric sounds the same to Peter because that is what BushCo is trying to do, make people think this is like WWII, and using language and tapping into the conservative blood lust, it works on some. Sorry Peter, Baghdad and Berlin may both begin with the letter "B," but they are not similar, and neither are the two wars or occupations. Peter Bronson has put forth the GOP myth that Iraq is comparable to WWII. Now for those of you who are regular readers of the blog and don't really care much about this post, I can only say with a warm heart: kiss my Haloscan. On a side note, if you have things you find out and about that are not getting play in the news media, drop me an email and I will take a look at it. Everything else on the rhetorical front is all gravy. Will I be consistent? I will be consistent with my own wishes. I will not edit anything unless I feel I need to or want to. I hope those reading for the first time are not scared off by any of the commenters. My disdain for the CCV and to a lesser degree BushCo are where my vitriolic language have little intended hyperbole and every intention of seriousness, while still trying to have an once of humor where I muster it up. I am harsh, but 90% of my harshness is hyperbole. If people read what I write and take everything I say literally, I really have to ask you do just not bother reading anything ever again. We have few local liberals given much of a voice and the rest of us with tiny media voices need to shout against the beast. Now, that being said, I take every opportunity to retort Bronson’s often trite GOP drivel posing as a column. I am up to 48 comments on my Dick Cheney post, which may just be a record for me. I do write about other writers, other topics, and other things that often get people riled up. I do have one quibble: I don't think I "mostly" rail on Peter Bronson. I have to thank Gina and the folks at CinWeekly for including me in their story on blogging. Why are you reading this?
