Vacation
Once again I find that I've been shamefully neglecting this site due to a wicked - but satisfying - video project. And now, I'm about to embark on a two-week family road trip (did someone mention the Griswolds?!) which will force me to extend that neglect beyond all reasonable expectation of reader patience.
But while I'm away, I hope that all who stumble upon The Hue and Cry will use the resources available here to get better informed, and to reflect on the horrors that six years of one-party rule have showered on our once-great nation. There has never been a greater necessity for the citizens of America to reject the hype and spin and disinformation that spews forth daily from the Bush Administration and its dangerous disciples, and to instead seek out the truth, the facts, the evidence which sits in plain sight of the desperate need for change in Washington this November.
So free your minds. Use the links here to read and learn and get involved. Check out my favorite bloggers, among whom are some of the most insightful writers in the country. Take the time to peruse views from other nations and cultures. Hell, do a little writing of your own - to Senators, Representatives, even the Idiot in Chief himself.
It's up to us, kids. Up to us to demand accountability from the elected officials who've put us in this terrible mess. Up to us to protect and defend our Constitution from the despots who've tried to abuse and defile it. Up to us to tear our attention away from Jon Benet for five minutes, and remember that there are a handful of other topics that might be of some importance to the peaceful survival of the world.
I trust I'll return brimming with energy and ideas, once the batteries have been recharged. See you in two weeks...

http://bush2go.blogspot.com/ is a chronicle of Bush’s certain political demise, captured through published news reports. The writing is on the wall, the trend is obvious, and the arc of where Bush is headed cannot be doubted. Follow along for the trip.
What part of "We are directed by Allah to kill all Infidels" don't you understand? How about “The difference between Islamists and Americans is that they love life and we love death.” (Usama bin Laden) What do you hate so much about your country and yourself that you would suggest that "negotiation" with those who would behead you with a knife on camera if they had the chance, would make ANY difference in their attitudes toward you or the U.S.? In addition, why are we so loathe to criminally profile those who have been the ones to attack us…Men age 18-45 of middle eastern descent? Why are we wasting time searching baby strollers and grandma when we should be giving closer examination to the obvious people? Granted, our enemies are clever enough to start planting bombs on those who would not be as likely to be searched, but why not try? What if we just stopped enforcing immigration laws and illegal border crossings? We would have an invasion the likes of which we have never seen! (Oh, wait…that’s already happened.) We have to make it harder and harder for terrorists to succeed by staying a step ahead of those who would murder us. It is just another example of political-correctness gone awry, and we are going to pay the price sooner or later. The terrorists are laughing at us.
Get real. Where is your instinct for self-preservation? It's people like you who will take down this country all for your self-hating vision of world politics. In some ways, YOUR ilk are the "extremist, suicide bombers" of America. You will stop at nothing to demonstrate your skewed, fundamentalist idea of what the Constitution was intended to do. The key difference is that you don't have the guts to blow yourself up in a cafe or mall. However, you are more dangerous than a suicide bomber because your subversive undermining of our country's objective to SURVIVE will simply take down many more Americans than a relatively small bomb strapped around your waist. Sometimes, it is actually true that things are as simple as they seem. Kill or be killed. End of story. Unless we all realize this, this country won't live another day to debate all of the typical, otherwise inconsequential issues that I wish we could get back to; "piddly" issues between our democratic political parties that mean life is good again.
