2006 and the Liberal New Year Is Upon Us--Hoo-ah!!!!!

It's gonna be a great New Year. Republicans are shedding their skins (willingly or not) everywhere we look. It's like a new Harry Potter movie. Winger's true nature's as werewolves and souless blood-suckers are popping out all over. They're a scary (but very entertaining) lot and before the year is out they'll all just be shriveled little heads hanging from strings...

Let's have some fun summing up the crazies while we sip our champagne, shall we?

First, Steve Martin channels Bill O'Reilley:

"'This year's leap second is an assault on the American public,' says commentator Bill O'Reilly. 'The reason the leap second is even being proposed is because of America Haters, because of Iraqi hate mongers, and let's be honest, Shiites. Why would you add a second to the year unless you're an anti-American hate monger?"

Next there's the Creation Museum (no, that is NOT a parody) whose objective is to "Uphold the authority of the bible starting from the very first verse". Seems they've solved the nasty problem of dinosaurs and humans coexisting at the same time:

"The Creation Museum is an outreach of Answers in Genesis, a non-profit ministry located near the Cincinnati International Airport, in northern Kentucky, USA. This 50,000 square foot facility will proclaim to the world that the Bible is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice and in every area it touches on. Scheduled to open in 2007, this “walk through history” museum will be a wonderful alternative to the evolutionary natural history museums that are turning countless minds against the gospel of Christ and the authority of the Scripture."

Then there's what will prove to be the ongoing White House shuffle to not only grab power and spy but do it under American's noses with those old favorites "Remember 9/11", "The sky-is-falling" and "Liberals Hate America":

Vice President Dick Cheney cast the administration's eavesdropping program yesterday as part of a broader effort to reassert presidential powers that he said had been dangerously eroded in the years after Vietnam and Watergate.

And in the new Disneyland--Iraq--the guy who lost 400 million bucks and gave Bush the fake intel he needed to invade gets his pay-off--keeper of Iraqi oil:

As a fuel crisis deepened in Iraq, the government replaced its oil minister with controversial Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Chalabi, whose poor performance in the Dec. 15 elections was a setback in his recent attempt at political rehabilitation.

I could go on but you get the drift.

So raise your glasses and let's make a toast:

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.

~ Abraham Lincoln
