or did i somehow miss it?

the president has basically said that knowing what he knows now about the absence of wmd's he would still have invaded iraq. why has no one further questioned him on this. no wmd's, no timetable for immediate deployment based on the spectre of mushroom clouds. so i want someone to ask him

mr president you have said that the spread of democracy in the middle east justifies the war, and that you would have launched the war to free the people of iraq. knowing as we do now that there are no wmd's would you still have launched the war when you did without plans for the insurgency and before the forces were fully armored? would the deaths that might have been prevented by extended preparation for armor production or post war planning be justified for deposing sadam sooner?

someone with greater word efficiency could probably ask it better, but whatever, somebody ask it. i'd like to see him choke on his tounge trying to answer without saying it's all unjustified.

and failing that, since the president has declined to be interviewed by him, i'd like someone to ask prez this question from mike wallace

What in the world prepared you to be the commander in chief of the largest superpower in the world? In your background, Mr. President, you apparently were incurious. You didn't want to travel. You knew very little about the military. . . . The governor of Texas doesn't have the kind of power that some governors have. . . . Why do you think they nominated you? . . . Do you think that has anything to do with the fact that the country is so [expletive] up?

why would prez be afraid of an 87 year old man?

'Anti-racism', All Trap, No Honey: A Discourse About Discourse

One of the things that prevents me from writing more often is the sense that I'm just writing the same thing repeatedly from a slightly different angle. In a nutshell, all I'm saying is that moral idealism substituted for material goals will not lead to justice, but is an argument against materialism. I'm a dumb person's low rent Adolph Reed Jr. translator. I'm a "class reductionist" who understands that when the discourse is reduced to just class there's nothing as important as food, water and shelter that's left out. I often find myself contending with people who insist that there is, unable to name anything. They don't understand that they're making an argument against economic redistribution, or they don't care. There are no concrete manifestations of systemic racism or any oppression that are not dealt with through economic redistribution. When people say that economic redistribution won't end racism, what they mean is that

The Cuckoo Movement

A reed warbler raising a common cuckoo chick it hatched from an egg surreptitiously placed in its nest by the cuckoo's parent “Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”― George Orwell Parasite to Virus Brood parasites are species that manipulate other organisms to raise their young for them. Among the best known of brood parasites is the cuckoo. A number of cuckoo species have specialized to lay their eggs among hosts whose eggs theirs mimic closely enough to provide protective camouflage. The eggs hatch sooner than host eggs, the chicks grow faster, and they often eject the eggs or hatchlings of the host from the nest. The cuckoo chicks begin to mimic the cries of the host young to encourage the fostering birds to keep up with their growth to the detriment of their own young. Following one of the first documented cases of computer espionage in the mid 80s, the concept of brood parasitism was applied to malware.
