Rumsfeld under Pressure
Posted by Michael Signer

Rumsfeld's cracking up.  Sing it with me.

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Here he is to reporters in yesterday's presser:

"You ought to just back off, take a look at it, relax, understand that it's complicated, it's difficult."

Aha -- we ought to "relax."  Sure he's not just talking to himself?

Thats o-kay!
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people

It's a little astonishing, if I weren't past astonishment, that Rumsfeld, even at his imperious, petulant, arrogant best, would frame a genuine, critical, significant policy debate about the right course in Iraq as simple political opportunism.  He also said:

"Everyone's trying to make a little mischief out of this, and . . . turn it into a political football."

I mean, really -- does he actually mean that critics of the war and the reconstruction effort are into "mischief"?  That it's just a silly little trifle, all this angst and hand-wringing about $8 billion, 2,700 million lives, and bushels of ruined American prestige?

I'm so tired of this guy.  But you get the feeling he's tired of himself.

Insanity laughs under pressure were cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love
Cause loves such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure.

I can't be bothered with anything recently. I haven't been up to anything. I don't care. I haven't gotten much done lately. Not that it matters.

We are killing the rainforest

I can't be bothered with anything these days. I guess it doesn't bother me. What can I say?

I just don't have much to say right now, but I guess it doesn't bother me. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. Nothing notable happening these days. Shrug. Not that it matters. My mind is like a void. I've basically been doing nothing , not that it matters. More or less nothing going on. I guess it doesn't bother me. Not much on my mind.

Prayer in public schools are wrong, not wrong

I haven't gotten much done , but it's not important. Not much on my mind lately. Today was a total loss, but so it goes.

Today was a complete loss, but oh well. I don't care. So it goes. Nothing going on , but shrug. Not much on my mind these days. Such is life.

Life is designed by some sort of intelligence, God created life

Cousin dating is, is not okay

I've just been letting everything pass me by lately. Maybe tomorrow. Today was a complete loss, but that's how it is. Eh. Oh well.
