Ah, nothing like reading the news to make you quickly want to spit out your yummy cinnamon bran muffin.

So you know this wonderful tax bill that got passed? The one that's going to increase our deficit by God knows how much (and we won't know how much either because the Bushies put the kiabosh on a report detailing just how big of a deficit we're talking about). I think I mentioned earlier how, somehow, the tax credit for low-income children somehow got left off (ooops)? What did get on, however, was a super-huge tax credit for buying SUV's

Good that we got our priorities right.

Of course, it would be oh too obvious to point out that all of the recent unpleasantness of the past several years has been in the Middle East where we get all of our oil. I mean, didn't we just fight a war to rid a nation of Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Well, at least we were able to kick-some butt and take names later. Plus, we had that super-heroic rescue mission of Sgt. Private Lynch. Oh wait, turns out we rescued her from a bunch of Iraqi doctors and nurses who were trying to hand her over to us. Or what about the cool-ass attack against Saddam's bunker the first night of the war? Oops, turns out the bunker didn't exist. Or the great shot of the statue of Saddam being toppled? Crazy that, nothing much more than a staged photo-op.

Oh well, whatever. Nevermind.
