• For years, I never believed anyone who said the Iraq war was about oil.  How naive I was back then.  But, now that the clock is winding down on Bush and Co., the other shoe has dropped. It’s like a wet dream for Bush, Cheney and the big oil companies.  And, just in case you did not think the White House had anything to do with this (and why would you not, I ask), here’s a few little details. 

• If you don’t read “Rolling Stone,” it’s worth the online price (umm, free) for Matt Taibbi’s columns alone.  Today’s victim:  John “Full Metal” McCain. 

• Elsewhere in old geezer land, McCain met with Billy Graham, who is probably wondering who in the hell the Frankenstein-looking flip-flopper actually is.  Billy’s fear-mongering son Franklin was on hand to offer prayers for McCain so that the senator will have the God-given strength to use weapons of mass destruction against our enemies.  Because that’s what Christ would do.

• Look!  Over there! It’s the real war.  Oh, never mind. 

• Joe Lieberman:  terror prognosticator.  Will it ever end?

I don’t think it will end, but, for now, I will.
