I have a new word that I would like to introduce to my fellow state employees:  "Duh!"

It is, believe it or not, typically a term of derision.  It is a shortened form of the phrase, "No shit, dumbass."  It could also be used in place "Who told you first Dick Tracey?"

So when I read this typical "man bites dog" article in the O'Guvnah Bootlicker Herald, I said to myself "Duh!"  And myself said back, "No shit, dumbass."

Al Neuharth tried to make a dumb point that the Beijing Olympics would lead to a more democratic China.

I thoroughly dissected the stupidity of his comments yesterday here.  But I am not done.

The Tax Foundation has released its latest study based on IRS tax data on how much Americans pay in taxes based on on their income.  The next time you hear Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, or some other inveterate left-wing hack claim that the rich don't pay their fair share, you should refer to this data.

Everyone stand up and applaud Paul J. Wiedefeld, the Maryland Mass Transit Administration head.  He has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that people rise to the leve of their incompetence.  For the third time in 2008, we have serious issue with MTA vehicles that puts a substantial part of their fleet at risk.

Al Neuharth, the founder of the USA Today, must be slowly losing his mind.  Either that, or he is doing his damndest to play out the role of one of Lenin's "useful idiots".

George "Nero" Bush, the gelded President without a national security staff worthy of the name, has taken a long hard look into Vlad Putin's soul and has urinated himself.  While Russian Imperialism rages in long-time ally Georgia, Nero fiddles, and the cities burn.

There are days when I love Schadenfrude.  No, not streudel.  Schadenfrude... the Germanic notion of taking joy in the pratfalls and stupidity of your opponents.  And as the John Edwards story reached its zenith yesterday, and continues to entertain today, I cannot help but take joy in the fall of this deviant, blow-hard, rat-fucker trial lawyer from Nawth Carolina.  Because yes, John, there are indeed two Americas.

Readers of my missives would not be surprised to know that I am no great fan of Senator John McCain.  And as we get closer to the election, my lackluster feelings for the author of McCain-Feingold only grow.  Quite frankly, if I have to listen to another "my friends" again, I might be forced to turn it into a drinking game.

No, not the heart of the old Confederacy, but the former republic of the Soviet Union.  This is bad news.  Georgia and Russia have been at each other's throats for some time.  Other than Ukraine, Georgia was one of the former separatist republics that hurts the most, because it provides direct access to the trans-Caucusus oil fields and deeper into Central Asia.  In fact, one of the primary pipelines for bringing oil out of Central Asia runs right through it.  And that is why this is not good.
