I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land: Jon Stewart
Oxford definition of Turkey: A theatrical failure; an absolute flop.
Turkey # 1 THE WAR WITH IRAQ . Let's face it ~ the illegal war and occupation of Iraq fits the definition of turkey to a T ~ it has been a theatrical failure and an absolute flop.
Turkey # 2 THE MEDIA . The media, in general, have absolutely failed and flopped in their historic responsibility of balanced reporting and constructive dissent.
Turkey # 3 PAUL WOLFOWITZ . The architect of the misguided Iraq war and now immortalized by Michael Moore while caught combing his hair with his own spit on camera.
Turkey # 4 DICK CHENEY . Darth Vader himself , the grand puppeteer, whose grandoise neoconservative dreams of empire building are sinking in the quicksand of Iraq.
Turkey # 5 GEORGE W BUSH . The AWOL cheerleader and puppet of Cheney's grand designs whose refusal to admit to any mistakes makes him the new king of denial ~ a crown once worn by Bill Clinton.
Turkey # 6 TONY BLAIR . Bush's poodle who became Tonto to Bush's lone Ranger and is now twisting in the wind ~ for Bush no longer needs him.
Turkey # 7 COLIN POWELL . The good soldier allowed himself to be blatantly used and manipulated by Cheney/Bush and then was cruelly cast aside after the elections.
Turkey # 8 JOHN KERRY . Sold out to the undecided voters when he became Bush-lite by saying he would still have attacked Iraq , knowing what he knows now. As such, he lost his progressive base and credibility as a formidible candidate.
Turkey # 9 BILL CLINTON . A legend in his own mind who singlehandedly led the Democratic party to the right and away from its progressive roots. His massive and rambling self-serving library will do little to distract from the obvious ~ his only mark in history may well be the stain on Monica Lewinsky's dress.
Turkey # 10 THE 51% OF VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR BUSH . To them goes the responsibility for the economic and fiscal abyss that lies ahead as well as the final confirmation of the dumbing down of America.
I'm sure I missed some obvious turkeys but don't worry ~ there are plenty of left overs.
Happy Thanksgiving ~
