“As if Al hasn’t sold out to corporate interests in his political life - a perfect world - give me a break. The lesser of two evils hardly makes anything perfect. We don’t need a cartoon to provide us with an alternative reality - Washington D.C. has been doing that very well for a very long time.”

Does anything make anything “pefect”?  No.  So why do you keep demanding the perfect?  And when not that, the impossible?

“Funny?  Not to me.”

OK. Mildly amusing in a kind of bourgeois, non-proletarian, slighty amusing way (provided one has, despite the absence of the withering away of the state, a sense of humor at all).

You have my sympathies Skruffie. Perhaps a little scritch under the chin would help. There’s a good boy.

Jesus H. Christ on a fucking stick, you guys. It’s funny. That’s all. Funny. Not an alternative reality history book. Get a grip. Sheesh.

Another mean-spirited government administration bites the dust - Australia, the junior-most partner in the coalition of the willing has become the third political casualty of the illusory war in Iraq:-

“The Prime Minister (of Australia) has warned his colleagues that current opinion polls mean the Coalition (their Liberal + National parties) would not just lose a federal election (later this year), it would be annihilated.

John Howard has told a meeting of Liberal and National MPs the polls show Labor would win emphatically.

He has warned if they are expecting him to pull a rabbit out of a hat, he does not have a rabbit......”

“...an alternate reality where Al Gore is president, crime has disappeared, cars can fly and Halliburton Chairman Dick Cheney has shot Justice Scalia, Karl Rove and Tucker Carlson in a tragic hunting accident....”

Wow, don’t forget to add constructing solar thermal electric power plants in Iran.

By the way, how about mining giant Rio Tinto being forced to leave the uranium in the ground....and cover it over? It just happened - http://www.theage.com.au/news/business/rio-nt-bid-back firing/2007/05/22/1179601410224.html

“RIO Tinto’s hard sell this week on its rising hopes for a near-term clearance from the Mirarr people to develop the $50 billion Jabiluka uranium deposit in the Northern Territory has backfired on the Anglo-Australian mining giant.

The Mirarr (native Australian tribe) continue to say no, despite the multimillion-dollar royalty stream Jabiluka would secure them.

“We stopped the mining here,” Ms Margarula told BusinessDay, referring to an eight-month blockade of the mine by 5000 people in 1998.

“Now they have put the ore back in the ground … it will never again come out. The country is at peace and I am very happy."......"

It’s just a dream and dream will never come true !
We’ve had this dream over 6 years ago when Al Gore conceded GWB was won thanks to Supreme Court favor.
