The first big insider tell-all of the Bush Administration, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception” is a serious and scathing shocker. 

The book is penned by former Press Secretary and Bush-loyalist Scott McClellan and focuses on how the Iraq War was basically a marketing ploy that was sold to Americans as a sophisticated “political propaganda campaign.”  Lets bomb some people kids, it’s cool and will make you beautiful, thin and well-liked.  All that’s missing now is a jingle. 

As if thousands of innocent lives lost and families destroyed from a war that was never needed wasn’t cause enough for outrage, McClellan also sheds light on the administrations handling of Hurricane Katrina.  He says that after the disaster, the White House “spent most of the first week in a state of denial.”  A week in which people were dying, thirsty and stranded.

But that aint all folks.  Bush hasn’t been the only busy boy.  His henchman have been doing their fair share. 

McClellan also makes allegations that Karl Rove, the president’s senior adviser, and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the vice president’s chief of staff had “misled” him about their roles in revealing Valerie Plame’s identity.

This entirety of this is: sad, disgusting, evil and probably the worst scam in the history of the US government. 

With eight months left in Bush’s term, should he be impeached? 

Thoughts? 

Wikipedia is having a major battle over whether this 1976 album cover for German metal band the Scorpions is porn or art.  The feds are currently looking into it, because, obviously, if it’s porn, it has to be removed from the site.

So how do they decide?  There is no answer.  Just to make clear, I am not into porn, don’t care about porn or anything along those lines.  What is fascinating is how we, as a culture, classify things.  If you click here you can see the response this image has gotten with people calling it worthwhile and historical to blatant pedophilia.
