Slog - Comments on For Fuck's Sake http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/for_fucks_sake Will someone please tell Congress that Alberto Gonzalez used steroids? Maybe that'll convince Congress to get off its ass and investigate the abuses at Justice during his tenure....

Maybe that'll convince Editor Boy that the real Greatest Doorstop Novel Ever was Infinite Jest.

There, I said it!

Is this the biggest case of transference ever? "Look how powerful we are, going after the great injustices of the day". Disgusting.

Hence, we have a president and his staff who can openly lie and commit multiple felonies with no consequences, a congress that works to legalize their crimes against the American people, and a judicial branch that strives to cover up their crimes by ruling against standing to sue or by invoking “national security” as catch-all excuses to dismiss any release of information.

And all the while, the establishment media simply pumps out mindless jingoism and right-wing propaganda. To sum up, we now live in a perfect oligarchy governed by our worst citizens.

Sucks, huh?

"Hello, Dodgers Stadium ticket office."

"Yes, hello, this is your Rep. Henry Waxman. REPRESENTATIVE Henry Waxman. I was looking for something for me and may family behind home plate."

"I'm sorry sir, those seats are reserved for..."

"Los Angeles REPRESENTATIVE Henry Waxman did I mention?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Waxer, like I said..."

"WAXMAN! REPRESENTATIVE WAXMAN!"


I picture this conversation taking place all over America. Those subpoenas were probably signed with the glee of a kid on Christmas eve.
