Neutron
Neutron -- You don't take sides, you just sort of
hang out and blend into the crowd. If someone
lets you loose though, you can cause some
serious damage. If you are arround too many
other neutrons you get bored and start to
decay.

Which Recent President Was the Most Dishonest?
Take the poll and help determine who's the biggest fibber

This summer, after critics charged President George W. Bush with making false statements about Iraq's nuclear weapons capacity in his January State of the Union address, some commentators accused him of being the most dishonest president in recent American history.

The most dishonest? Could it be? The respected neo-liberal political magazine, The Washington Monthly, asked a nominating committee of noted journalists and pundits to pick the most serious fibs, deceptions, and untruths spoken by each of the four most recent presidents.


I find it interesting that Bill Clinton, the President impeached for obstruction of justice (basically, for lying, then trying to back up the lie) has consistently been receiving the best "mendacity score." But then, most of us, conservative or liberal like, understand that lying to cover up an act of oral sex is simply on a lower plane than lying about selling arms to Iran or fabricating evidence to convince the public we need to invade Iraq.

I know I've been posting a lot yesterday and today, but there's a lot of important stuff going on. Today's very important post, that I urge all of you to read, was this by [livejournal.com profile] vidicon:

What the hell happened to Valerie Plame?

US Ambassador Joseph Wilson comes forward as the guy the Bush Administration hired to look into the rumors of Saddam Hussein attempting to purchase uranium oxide from Nigeria. Wilson wrote the report saying the yellowcake deal was a crock and that people in the Bush Administration certainly read it before Bush made his public statements about Hussein's potential nukuler threat.

In return, the White House leaked that Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, was a CIA agent -- thereby threatening her life, the lives of her family and the lives of anyone known to be associated with her. This deliberate leak -- perpetrated by White House advisor Karl Rove, according to evidence presented by Wilson to a Washington symposium on August 29 -- has lead to the "liquidation of more than 70 CIA assets". That means blood, and plenty of it. And the destruction of twenty-six years of effort to thin down the amount of lies and bullshit our decision-makers have to sort through.

... This strangely mirrors Dr. Kelly's suicide in Britain. Kelly, as you might recall, was the man that Tony Blair's administration outed as the source for saying that the yellowcake deal was bullshit and Blair knew it.

... Government leaks destroy the lives of two agents, both of whom are whistle-blowers on the same damned project.

So, Mr. Depp, why don't you tell us how you really feel?

Edit: since a lot of people didn't catch the reference, here it is:

Depp Says U.S. Is Like 'Dumb Puppy,' 'Broken Toy'

"America is dumb, it's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive," he said.

"My daughter is four, my boy is one. I'd like them to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out," said the star of the off-beat films "Edward Scissorhands" and "Dead Man."
