It's a circle of government and industry working in tandem: the Bush Administration guts the American education system, which makes Fox programming attractive to larger numbers of people, who are then ridiculed by people like me, but now also by Fox itself.But aren't the 5th graders the ones who are actually being educated during the Bush Administration ? I hate to be to logical. It might confuse the Canadians out there.
And it's particularly wrong for an American audience to laugh at this guy because he's so clearly the type of person the U.S. employs in the army and at border crossings. All that Homeland/Heartland nonsense spewed out by Fox and the U.S. government doesn't disguise the fact that they despise these people even as they hunt their votes to sustain a tiny class of rich men with pale faces and scary glasses. I give you Dick Cheney, Roger Ailes, Kyle Sampson, Karl Rove…Yes Dick Cheney... when he's not working on that Death Star...
On that same day I saw this, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, the man in charge of the Stalin-style purges of federal attorneys deemed to be "disloyal" to the Republican party, essentially pleaded for his job on the grounds that he was poor once and Hispanic to boot. So he had clawed his way out of poverty to a job where he essentially runs the American secret police, and asks that he be allowed to stay on by virtue of once having been the kind of person he'd stomp on now."Stalin-style purges of federal attorneys." !!!!
Well I hope we get at least one good show trial out of it.
Is this what passes for analysis in Canada ?
