What a treat! The Plain One returns with a *scathing* indictment of bushco*, not to be missed.

I'm back.

I'll make this short.

At a time like this, we all have better things to do than sit around reading blather on websites. Well, no, I take that back; we don't all have better things to do. Karl Rove, for instance, instead of making himself useful, is now trying to come up with new ways to protect Bush from the appalling consequences of his actions. The most popular one, so far, seems to be training the talking heads to short-circuit any discussion of accountability by loudly repeating, "You're just playing the blame game! Stop playing the blame game!"

No, Karl. I don't think so. Not this time.

Blaming is what you do when you have to explain why you showed up late to work. It's what happens when your mother finds the broken lamp and wants to know who was playing ball in the house. You blame people for not using their turn signals properly, or for causing the toilet to back up, or for dumping you for someone else. You blame people for something that you suspect you might have responsibility for; or for something that is a mildly annoying minor problem. You can't even say 'blame game' without sounding like a child. "Blame game, blame game, let's play the blame game! La la la la la la!"

This is not a game. The dead do not come back. Suffering cannot be undone. There are no do-overs.

<snip, more, great read>
