Stalin trapped

We are trapped. Snowdrifts have sealed off our escape routes, despite my valiant attempt to escape - pictured in the post below.

That leaves us at the mercy of the media for entertainment and moral sustenance. Two things caught my feverish eye in between bouts of checking if the neighbors are sufficiently fattened to make a nice Sunday roast.

One, The New York Times published the first of many photos showing former Texas governor Bush and Jack Abramoff in the same room, doing business. Here's Bush shaking the hand of an Abramoff client, with Turdblossom smirking at the side, and Abramoff looking on by the window.

Two, Howard Dean compared Dick "Traitorous Scumbag" Cheney to Aaron Burr on Face the Nation. That's if anything doing a disservice to Burr. After all, Burr was let off on a technicality during his trials, one for treason, the other for murder. Cheney may not be so lucky.
