a-the white house, in a fun fit of revisionist stalinism, have taken down the transcripts of dick cheney’s pre-2006 interviews from the white house web site. so you now have to go elsewhere to read such gems as ‘i think they(the iraqii people)will greet us as liberators'(march 2003), and ‘i think they’re in the last throes of the insurgency'(summer, 2005).
i mean, seriously, why do they even let scowling dick cheney out of his cage?
he’s not a stupid man, but his obstinancy is almost like the theater of the absurd(recently he’s been doing interviews trying to say that things in iraq are going well…).
i guess what’s been galling about the 6 years of the bush administration has been how comfortable they(cheney, rumsfeld, bush, etc)have been with lying.
big, bold-face lies. and the fact that they were able to get away with it for so long.
ah well, nothing i haven’t said 100 times before.
b-ok, non-politics. i watched 3 minutes of the oscars, specifically the part where will ferrel and jack black did their musical number. it was funny. perhaps i missed out by not watching the awards givern to ‘best sound editing for a foreign documentary’, or ‘best assistant camera operation on a short film’. i know, most people were sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to watch editors give acceptance speeches, huh.
c-it’s kind of late, so i’ll keep it brief and go to sleep. goodnight.
