The President is Being Ironical
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006
The president has declared October 15 through 21 National Character Counts Week*. That would be a lot like me declaring it National Sobriety is Fun Week, it reeks of hypocrisy and you just KNOW my heart is not in it. He signed the Military Commissions Act just a few days earlier making it possible for us to show our character to the rest of the world through torture and removing the right of habeas corpus. Awesome. On second thought, maybe the whole thing is more like if I wrote a book on how to be a millionaire by 25…..you’d be stupid to buy it. Well, add the word “Character” to the list of words that no longer have any meaning. See also: Patriot, Leadership, America. Where are we going, and why are we in a handbasket?
