CHILL ON JILL
Why is the media obsessed with what Jill Carroll said while she was being held hostage. If any of them were held hostage they would have done as much or more. Either that or they would have been found laying in the streets of Baghdad, most likely in two different places. It was a matter of use your head or lose your head. Jill, god bless the girl, decided to keep hers. For those unthinking who wonder what Jill was thinking; I refer you to Ellen Knickmeyer of The Washington Post,…”think about what they would do for three months with machine guns held to their heads”. I say let them watch the beheading video that might enhance their perspective.
Jill Carroll made it through a hurricane storm and lived to tell about it. Let’s congratulate that sharp American girl for her wits and courage not disparage her for being alive. All things considered; it’s nonsensical to pick on Jill Carroll for her words, not to mention the fact that, we are a free country where vigorous inspirational debate is encouraged. We don’t want to be like a bunch of Saddam Hussein’s with our heads in the clouds sucking up the words of Yes-men, while we lose the war. Democracy, Freedom and Civil Rights are the reason the U.S. is in Iraq. Right? So let us take care of Jill Carroll and welcome her home. That is the Christian thing to do and since she works at the Christian Science Monitor it might be appropriate.
Perhaps there is important information to be attained (read debriefing) but something tells me Jill Carroll is not the Manchurian candidate. It won’t help the War On Terror if Jill Carroll looks worse going through the political meat grinder back home at USA incorporated, then she did while being held hostage by some head chopping Al-Qaeda cell. That may raise a few eyebrows. Jill has already gotten the cover off her head and is smiling for the cameras. Cut her some slack and you’ll get a bigger smile. Jill Carroll is a smiler. That’s why she made it out alive.

Texas Hold'em: Andy Card is Dealt, Is Rove on the River?
Texas Hold-Em: Andy Card is Dealt, Is Rove on The River?
Is an exit from the White House the final tactic of master strategist Karl Rove?
Karl Rove is the only hi-profile White House insider whose resignation would garner attention equal to or surpassing that of Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld. Rove’s resignation would boost Bush’s poll numbers, satiate hungry Democrats and preserve the President’s legacy by holding onto his VP and SecDef.
The New York Daily News and Washington Post report Rove and Card as significant participants in the (WHIG’s) White House Iraq Groups marketing of the Iraq War. Think “mushroom clouds.” Reportedly, Rove received some stern criticism from Bush on this marketing and was fighting for his life. Being that the war is the biggest thorn in Bush’s side; a Rove resignation could boost Bush immediately. Wunderkind that he may be, Rove doesn’t have the old time Washington insider status like Cheney or Rumsfeld.
Rove doesn’t get hurt in the resignation. He is gracefully moving aside to allow the new chief of staff impediment free latitude. Additionally, Rove doesn’t need any titles to do what he does best. Being out of sight may actually be a boon for him. Most importantly, if the Bush administration was given a heads up that the Valerie Plame investigation would soon be knocking on Rove’s door then he would have to go anyway. A resignation of the Deputy Chief of Staff following that of the Chief of Staff may be the most palatable and graceful exit available in such circumstances.
Mr. Rove is a genius. Is it possible that after handing in his resignation Karl Rove could watch the President extract himself from a heavy chunk of the Iraq mess and the entire Plame affair? What would Mr. Rove say in such a situation? Probably, “We did it again. By George, we did it again.”

THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!
Those Were The Days
Remember the good old days, before President Bush’s election was decided in Florida, where his brother Jeb was the governor. (http://www.ericblumrich.com/gta.html)
That was before a handful of jihaddi Top Gun pilots eluded and evaded the entirety of America’s military and intelligence apparatus. (http://www.venusproject.com/911/911Painful_Questions.html)
The good old days were before nearly 3000 loyal and dedicated men and women of the armed services were greeted by death rather than roses as the administration had promised. (http://icasualties.org/oif/)
It was before “mission accomplished” and playing dress up like a navy pilot. Those were the days. (Click here for mission accomplished link.)
In the good old days when American’s weren’t getting their heads sawed off on the internet. Warning: You may want to skip this. It is a gruesome reminder of the growing hatred. (Beheading link for adults only)
The good old days were before the trillion dollar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention the record setting budget deficit.

Back in the good old days our Vice-President didn’t blast his best friends (symbolic?) in the face with a shotgun.

Nor did he give a speech at AIPAC less 2 months after they had been implicated in an Israeli spy ring working through the Pentagon.

Do you remember those days before The Patriot Act and The Department of Homeland Security stood by and watched our ports be sold to foreign governments. But hey, Israel said Dubai Ports World was okay with them. Gee, thanks Israel, how about we just give you the original copies of The Constitution and Bill of Rights and you can spruce’em up a for us a little bit since you know, so well, what’s best for United States. (http://ksgnotes1.harvard.edu/Research/wpaper.nsf/rwp/RWP06-011)
The good old days were before Jack Abramoff and his links to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Abramoff) Mohammed Atta, Osama Bin Laden and the entire American political process.
Yeah boy, the good old days were something else. Back then all you had to worry about was a little fellatio in the oval office between two consenting adults. The Most Unfortunate thing is that there is only one party to blame. Yep, that’s right, it’s the Democrats. Every single Democratic Senator lay down like a Bunny Ranch Bordello Babe when the Congressional Black Caucus tried to oppose George’s election. Al Gore ridiculed them as they fought for him and America. Where was the vaunted Democratic leadership like Kennedy and Leiberman. Of course John Kerry lost the next election. He didn’t even have the will to vote against Bush in the first election

Now Al Gore’s running around, profusely sweating and screaming like a lunatic. Sorry, Al. It’s too little too late. You missed the moment for strength.
The good old days are gone. No longer can you tell the wolf from the sheep or which shell the pea lies under. So save your energy regarding the supposed opposition between Democrat and Republican. In the next election, whoever is supposed to be elected will be elected.
