Shorter Digby

Once again Digby is bang on! The US is no more at war now than when Nixon and others had their War on Drugs and hardly more than when LBJ had a War on Poverty . It's a scam; it's Wag the Dog, it's 1984. It's about corrupt people getting and keeping power -- period.

I'm watching the NSA hearings and it occurred to me: did the UK and Spain "declare war" on terrorism or al Qaeda? After all, they have been attacked as well and I wonder if they are operating under wartime conditions or wartime laws. Does anyone know whether we are the only country in the world that considers itself "at war" with terrorism in the literal sense of the word?

Digby on the cartoon riots:

In short, no more cartoon riots. No more cartoon editors. No more cartoon evil cavemen. And no more cartoon American administrations. It's time not to listen to what our gut says, it's time to give it some alka-seltzer and get it to shut up so we can think.

Digby on the The Eunuch Caucus:

I say it's because they are craven, bedwetting cowards who are afraid of Karl Rove and addicted to stealing from the American people.
