So, I’m waiting for someone over at DU to posit the theory that the Bush Administration ordered the arrest of somebody in the JonBenet Ramsey case in order to cover for Lieberman losing the CT primary or something. Poor kid would’ve been 16 now.Of course, there are a lot of Iraqi kids who’ll never see their 16th birthday either. The Iraq Body Count database (whether its numbers are low or not) is a truly mind-numbing thing to look through, with its columns for “target,” “weapons,” and number killed. Numbing because it’s so relentless – day after day after day. Policeman found tortured and shot, 58 laborers killed by a minibus suicide attack, 72 shoppers and market vendors killed by carbomb, grenades, mortar, automatic fire, 14 bodies found bound and executed, 38 found tortured and shot…. It just goes on and on, every day, for over three years now. At least 40,000 civilians killed in this mess.
And now dubya is becoming an existentialist? I think maybe he’s gotten Sartre confused with de Sade.
Hey, you can catch Marc at the Hollywood Improv tonight, so get over there and do it.
