Bush Administration: A Collection of Ignorant, Warmongering Torturers

The WaPo reports today that the US is falling behind in science because the Bush Administration is comprised of a cabal of ignorant know-nothings who are proud of being ignorant. The Bush Administration puts its stock in ideology and faith, not squishy concepts such as "knowledge" and "science." To the rest of the world, the Bush Administration is a throwback to medieval days.

King Canute commanded the tide to go back not because he thought he could, but because he knew he could not and attempting to do so was the only way to knock it into his sycophants that a monarchy is not possessed of god-like powers. Would that George Bush and his tribe of blithering idiots had a quarter of the wisdom of King Canute.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is abstaining from a treaty to ban cluster munitions, after earlier obtaining significant modifications to the treaty. It seems to be generally conceded that in George Bush's Clusterfuck On Terror, cluster bombs are useless, as are land mines, but that doesn't matter to the Chimperor.

Elsewhere, when the CIA kidnapped a man in Italy and sent him to Egypt to be tortured, the CIA agents left tracks all over the place. The only conclusion that is fair to be drawn is that the CIA was not hiding its tracks because they were confident that nobody would ever go looking for them.

Great job all around by the Chimperor and his minions.
