The Wilson Distraction

We're getting *way* too distracted by these cartoon buffoons, Joe Wilson, Joe The Plumber, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, etc. etc.

The march toward fascism continues unabated, the corporate media marching in lockstep keeping us focused on the inane.

How many children died of cancer today in Iraq due to the actions of this nation of war criminals using depleted uranium, a policy that continues unabated under "Mr. Change"? Likewise, how many children in Afghanistan continue to be charred shadows of their former selves due to America's use there of white phosphorus?

Lost in all this is the fact that the corporate media continues to stir up hatred against immigrants. Were Jesus to return today, I wonder if that dark-skinned man would agree that dark-skinned people who cross invisible lines ("borders") should be demonized and treated like the Undesirables of 70-some years ago. Some "Christian Nation" we live in.
