Little White Lies: But Who’s Counting?

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I know I keep swearing off of political blog postings. But all other aspects of life become trivial in the shadow of the colossal catastrophe that is the Bush Administration. Nothing can compare with that. So. I reiterate a chart, initiated by Moveon.org that illustrates the actual changes in the lives of real Americans. Read it and weep.

And then there’s the tally of lies told to a gullible public prior to the illegal invasion of Iraq: totaled at 935. Included is a handy chart of peak falsehoods. I am constantly amazed by the hubris of our elected officials, and the compiling evidence that no one in the White House gives a damn about integrity, honesty, or - the least of all - being civil servants.

Truly astounding.
