Whelming Leaders
What really gets us about Iraq is not any perceived bungling of the war. Let's say that, for argument's sake, the Bush administration is orchestrating the war perfectly and that it will be considered a stone-cold success five to ten years from now. What gets us is all the lying. Why does the administration constantly use misinformation to promote or discuss the war. They always have these rosy descriptions of the situation in Iraq and have constantly deliberately (or, alternatively idiotically) underestimated the insurgency.
Can't we just get a little honesty? Sure, there are a few staff members who brought up the fact that Democrats lie as well and that if it were a Democratic president at war they would also likely sugarcoat the truth to make sure of high public morale. But after this was said, we all laughed and yelled in unison
"FUCK THE DEMOCRATS. YES, FUCK THEM."
We dont' give a shit if the Democrats are no better than Republicans. That is not an argument. We deserve better than a bunch of lying assholes running the country. And yes, not all Democrats and Republicans in Congress are lying assholes. Some of them are really nice liars while others are surely honest assholes.
The point is that just because George W. Bush and John F. Kerry are both, shall we say, underwhelming leaders, does not mean that we (the staff at littleboxes) do not deserve just regular whelming leaders. We don't even want an overwhelming leader, just a regular whelming leader will do.
Is that too much to ask? Yes, apparently so.

Geez, 3 advertisements in one post. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't shocked. Perhaps they are lying that they even read the post. I am also sure that those ebooks aren't free, ananomous liar. I just don't want any sugarcoated comments, ya dig?
p.s. John Kerry? Are you that hard up for posts that you are using the word documents you wrote 10 months ago?
Don't let the infrequent posts fool you, Roy. While some of us are certainly "hard up" as you say, it is not because of a lack of posting material.
The problem is that we've recently come under new quality and decency control guidelines here at littleboxes. Our worst posts are no longer posted and our best posts have been traded to the New York Yankees for a player to be named later. Furthermore, the censors are really inforcing the new decency standards and we're having a hard time complying.
The sad thing is, we took a poll in the office and John Kerry kept winning as the best reference for Democratic Leaders. We really couldn't think of anyone else substantial enough. But, yes, the post does read like it was written 10 months ago which is more of a statement about the continued obfuscation of facts by the Bush Admin than it is about our, admittedly, shitty posting as of late.
Peace out!
