Local election coverage
I am happy to report that I finally finished my MCLE hours, which gives me a little more time than I've had the past few days. I feel a bit guilty that I wasn't able to post anything about the Iraq election, but I'm glad the MSM have egg on their face. I can't wait to see what the local leftist press does with the bad news. Especially the San Francisco Bay Guardian. Want a sneak peek at their immediate preelection coverage? I didn't think so. Well, their latest issue features a report from Dahr Jamail (a "special correspondent for Flashpoints and reports for the BBC, Democracy Now!, and numerous other stations around the globe."), and it's appropriately titled "Destroying Babylon Forget the elections – Iraq is falling apart: As I'm preparing for my day this morning and making coffee, the Green Zone is mortared. Just like yesterday. And the day before that. And ... well, you get the idea.Dahr Jamail has a blog, and it hasn't been updated since January 28. (Sheesh! And I thought I was behind!) But what will they say? I'm just dying to know. Considering the ominous reports that some 70% of Iraqis voted, it won't be a pretty picture. How dare these sellout Iraqis vote in such numbers? And right before Bush's State of the Union address? (Obviously, it's more Bush election fraud.) UPDATE: While he's not in San Francisco, at least one anti-Bush columnist is asking whether Bush might have been right all along: What if it turns out Bush was right, and we were wrong?Yes it is possible. But in the San Francisco area, there's more than a "psychological barrier" to be overcome. Anti-Bush rage around here borders on the psychotic, and most people would look in both directions (and maybe close all doors and windows) before allowing for the possibility that Bush might have been right. posted by Eric on 02.01.05 at 01:26 AM |

Why should a radical Leftist object to destroying Babylon? By definition, they hate the past, they want to erase all of human history in order to build their new, secular, egalitarian Utopia, a One World Socialist Social Change. Babylon, like Egypt, was a religious, hierarchical, warlike, traditional civilization, everything the Left hates.
