This is the fruit of Bush's naive belief that everyone wants Western freedom.

When will we own up to the fact that homo sapiens is an animal? Individuals can rise above the norm of the species. But most humans never truly exist. They are born. They eat, poop, and reproduce. Then they die. Oh, and the humans who are most animal kill those who want to exist.

Most people don't want to be created in the image of God.

Farewell to Karl Rove

I'll confess my delight at the departure of Karl Rove from the Bush administration. He has appeared to be a genius of political strategy, a worthy adversary. Indeed, the bumbling Democrats weren't up to the challenge at any point. And when the American people fall right into his hands, how can you put all the blame on him?

But alas, truth ultimately doesn't care how clever you are, and no amount of spin can put the Humpty Dumpty that is the Iraq War back together again. "Blah, blah, blah" is the sound of the many words of those who think the truth can be changed by much talking.

The average intelligence of an American is, well, average.
