Even by the corrupt and debased standards of our times, this is a remarkable thing. The U.S. government is planning aggressive nuclear war (the neocons can give it whatever doublespeak name they like, but it is what it is); those plans have been described in some detail in a major magazine and on the front page of the Washington Post; the most the President of the United States is willing to say is that the reports are “speculative” (which is not a synonym for “untrue”) and yet as I write these words the lead story on the CNN web site is:
ABC pushes online TV envelopeABC is going to offer online streams of some of its most popular television shows, including “Desperate Housewives” and “Lost,” for free the day after they first air on broadcast TV.It appears our long national journey towards complete idiocy is over. We’ve arrived.

After Sy Hersh reported a U.S. plan for nuclear attack of Iran, he was slammed as “being correct about half the time”. I’m math impaired, and even I can figure those odds! Very lousy for uspeopleeverywhere if Sy is right this time. I picture the Secy of Defense, standing at his desk, working away, while contemplating the buzz of nuclear bees in his bonnet. This is too crazy.
