Today's word is B-L-O-O-D-L-U-S-T

Ohhhhh really, Time? In an attempt to sink lower than their cover of Trans Coulter, Time magazine decided to use this for their latest cover to self reference a long history of covers... as such:



Now, I wasn't alive for Pearl Harbor or Hitler. But i think i am safe in gently screaming that there is no way IN HELL that you can compare the death of Hilter to that of Zarqallafagus.

How many things are wrong with this picture?

A. The most important thing we have killed in the past 5 years is the Constitution. Start there....

B. Does Time actually think i give a fuck about the death of this man? Or that ANY americans do? Even the ones that might say they do have flipped the dial back to Idol already. Even if this man was all that they have tried to convince us he was... so what? Is the war over? Can the troops come home? Do i feel relieved? Safer? Mission Accomplished?

I didn't even feel that way when we caught Saddam. THAT ranked right up there with finding your pet boa constrictor after it escapes its terrarium and before it swallows the hamster. Why? No army. No threat. NOT CONNECTED TO 9-11. (all admitted by senior officials in the whitehouse).

So now we are celebrating the demise of enemies that we created through our own pre emptive evil deeds. Hmmm... Ya see Time, the problem with this is that it all comes off a bit different than it did in WW2. Then, we were attacked. We were defending. We were actually protecting and fighting for a greater cause (to someday be able to make iPods for squat in far away places). John Kennedy came along and said "we will never start a war". George W. Bush came along and said, "bullshit, I'ma git PAID mufugga". And here we are, raping and pillaging, like the extremely well armed (yet unarmored) pirates we are. There's just not the same feel of heroism about Darth Vader crossing Admiral Motti off his list.

SO STOP TRYING TO CREATE ONE. Why are you still pandering to the small minority of americans who are still gung ho about this war? These are the same americans who REFUSE TO READ. So just fucking stop it already. Yay for the internet hurrying your extinction.
