Periodic Jessica Lynch inquiry (and other things forgotten)

[Protagoras]

Just curious about this little hero gal and her life these days. Has she spoken out recently? Is her family still healthy?

She's one example of literally hundreds where the truth comes out...and a week or month later our attention is pulled to the next sparkly thing...forgetting how utterly without ANY morality these people are.

How many things are literally being shoved down the memory hole every 6 months in this single story media age?

Of course we can't win...because the sheeple forget...and once they forget it is as if each old wrong simply never happened.

How nice it must be for Bush to get a fresh start at screwing everything up every week. Never held accountable for a past that simply disappears into the void that is our cultural ignorance.

And the real happy thought is...even if we remember and list all the things we've forgotten...we're going to forget em again. They'll make sure of it with a string of missing girls in Aruba and Lacy Petersons and OMG LOOK ANDERSON COOPER IS STANDING IN A RAINSTORM!...

The most amazing part of it is it is the same people who for decades claimed to most fear this future who brought it to pass. I wasn't given my first copy of 1984 by a liberal...I was handed it by a staunch conservative who was sure that government needed to be watched closely...and carefully lets we become like those people in the USSR or China... And that same person today appears to have had a memory wipe.

I see no end in sight.

1. She was on Extreme Makeover Home Edition

for their finale last season. She help get Lori Piestawa's family a new home, and the Native American's veteran's a new meeting place. I know she has had a number of operations, and still needs crutches or a cane at times to get around at times, but overall, from what I saw, she seems to be doing fairly well, considering what she went through (and I am referring to her version, not the BushCo's rah-rah version).

2. It's nice to see someone supporting the troops w/o getting them killed

But the idea of doing "extreme makeovers" for Middle East combat veterans invites a number of obvious, groan inducing parodies.

Like when I Google "bin Laden makeover" this is what I get:

I am definately NOT a rah-rah war person, but I am for helping disabled vets in whatever way they can be helped.
