Fortress America

By Libby

Here's some new exclusive video of the US Embassy in Baghdad. A mighty fortress for our president who thinks he talks to God at a cost of $700 million and counting. By the time they get this monstrosity up to code, I'm betting it will cost close to a billion to build and even worse, it will cost $2 billion a year to run the place.

Another fine production brought to you by the Republican party, who tell us they can't afford to do such things as insure child victims of catastrophic accidents and illnesses because it costs too much. I guess everyone has their own priorites.

"Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. The requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there."
