Maybe next time they'll fire the dog...

Early today, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan resigned from his post, claiming that, like his predecessor, he was, "fed up with the President's $_it!"

No, no just kidding. Actually McClellan is doing his part for the GWB distraction jig, which included switching Chief of Staff, Andy Card for spendaholic Joshua Bolten, and changing Karl Rove's title from Darth Lord of the Sith, to Lord He-who-shall-not-be-named.

Bush said McClellan has "a challenging assignment," which must translate to writing his memoirs, or finding the Temple of Doom--which ever comes first.

Unfortunately, changing Press Secretary is like changing your beer from Miller Lite to Bud light. They both taste like piss. There should have been one major resignation in the past week, and that of course should have been the President of the United States, George Bush--but since we could never have that (that would have meant Checkmate! Duh!) it should have been Secretary of War...sorry I mean Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. Last week six--count them--six retired generals called for Rummy's resignation for many, many various reasons including, "alienating his allies in our own military," (Paul Eaton) to "committing forces with a casualness and swagger," (Gregory Newbold). Rumsfeld so far has been arrogant to the point of hubris, and has said that their grievances are, "a natural fallout from his push for dramatic changes in the military." (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12372744/).

Well if "dramatic changes in the military," means running it into the ground, then I suppose he has a point. It is sort of natural for generals not to like that sort of thing.

Yet to put us back on the right track here, let us not forget that this is still another form of the Bush cabal's plan of distraction. Let's see, last week it was illegal immigration, and this week, calls for Rumsfeld to quit, yet the Bush agenda keeps rolling on. According to USA Today, the administration continues to plan their suicidal gambit of attacking Iran (http://www.usatoday.com/news/Washington/2006-04-18-war-games_x.htm) which includes exploding 700 tons of explosives in the Utah desert to gather data on how to hit buried bunkers. This story made it to the Iran's paper, The Tehran Times (http://www.tehrantimes.com/Description.asp?Da=4/17/2006&Cat=4&Num=018) who see this as a new beginning of an American nuclear weapons build up.

And you wonder why Iran might continue to press on with their program? I think I saw this movie before, and it was called War Games. Didn't anyone listen to the WOPR?

But how do you start a new war when you haven't finished your old war? Ten more people killed today in Iraq, including...oh man this is grotesque...including two teachers who were decapitated in front of their classes by gunmen. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12342623/) And we're supposed to be winning this war? But what's winning even mean when no one has a goal? But it's going to be OK though, we can all relax, because GWB pinpointed the problem in all this. He found the flaw in the diamond, the crack in the glass, and he's all over it like white on rice. Scott McClellan is gone.

Whew...I am sooooo relieved.

Sigh...
