I’m becoming skeptical about every new revelation offered by our government supporting Bush’s War. Today’s dish: a 6300-word letter translated by god-know-whom, obtained by who-know-how, and purported to contain a direct missive between the “Number 2” Al-Qaida so-and-so and He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named, “Number 1” Al-Qaida Dr. Evil-type mastermind whose name we all know by heart.

I can’t care less what this supposed letter supposedly contains. If we can intercept the personal correspondence of Osama Bin-Laden, why can’t we just knock on his door and fetch the bastard? I’m sure Al-Qaida members are all dancing around an effigy and singing, “Who’s afraid of the Big, Bad Bush,” then collapsing in laughter.

This “new” letter amounts to another smokescreen devised by the real Dr. Evil-types in Washington to bring their one-note-song back to the forefront of media playlists across the nation (News of corruption, insider trading, and poor governance can’t be tolerated.) You know the song; the one about freedom, justice, and forcing the American Way™ upon the unwilling at gunpoint. This song has a nostalgic flavor, an historical timbre, sort of like the government radio band of the Third Reich; every house is supposed to play it. To do otherwise is un-American!

I’m fed up with media manipulation by the Bush administration. This boy has cried wolf too long, I’m not listening anymore. What this brat needs to do, is to bring home a nice pelt so we can all dance around it. Nothing else will do.
