Two Cents and a Thousand Words

Bad press, stop doing your job

Now that the press has grown the courage to actually question our government, look what happens:

“You try to follow their money. And that’s exactly what we’re doing and the fact that a newspaper disclosed it makes it harder to win this war on terror.”

People saying, “Hmm, maybe we should have some say in what the people who we elected to run our country do all day,” also makes it harder to win the current common noun war.

“Congress was briefed and what we did was fully authorized under the law,” Mr. Bush said. “We’re at war with a bunch of people who want to hurt the United States of America. What we were doing was the right thing.”

Snow also stressed the Treasury Department’s transparency regarding the program, noting “we’ve never denied it.”

The Treasury Department has also never denied an annual dog-ball licking contest. Nor has it denied that their employees are forced to walk around naked with Mickey Mouse towels wrapped around their necks like capes.

How can we accurately elect the right people to lead us if we don’t even know what they’re doing all day?
