Path to 9/11 and other shit

Two things bug me.  ABC's propaganda film Path to 9/11 coming to your TV soon and poo on my bathroom wall next to the toilet.  Both of them are shit, the only difference is ABC's broadcast is offensive shit, where the other is just evidence of my son not having quite perfected doing his own wiping yet.  In case the film is new to anyone, it is a film purporting to be based on the 9/11 Commission Report and it details how the Clinton administration was to blame for 9/11.  It was written by an avowed Conservative and has several completely fictional scenes made out to be facts taken from the 9/11 Commission Report. ABC are airing it over 2 nights, for 6 hours without commercial interruption.  Coincidentally enough, this is also shortly before the mid-term elections where the Republicans look likely to receive a good ass-whooping.  Not a bad distraction from the thunderous mistakes of the present administration and a smearing of the last Democrat one.  With any luck it will be pulled before broadcast.  This link leads to the latest development.  It is a letter from Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger detailing  scenes which have been pulled directly from the same area from which my son's poo came.  And they should know, as the film details as "fact" certain fictions which these two are supposed to have carried out.  Make sure to click on the link leading to the actual letter - it makes for interesting reading.  To get the whole story from the beginning you can surf back through the stories on that same site.

As for the literal poo, I'm not too sure how that happens.  I can see that the wiping doesn't go exactly according to plan and leaves him with certain deposits on his fingers, but I don't know why they always get smeared on the wall above the toilet paper rather than the paper itself.  Or his clothes.  Or his hair.  Or his brother.  Perhaps I'll have to invest in a "Poo Cam".

Saw part one and I must say it was good filmmaking--quite gripping, which is also the problem with it. It is a powerful propaganda piece for the conservatives and undoubtedly some viewers will draw the conclusion that the Democrats can't protect them and vote accordingly in November. I can't overstate the power of TV. Less obviously, it did hint at the fact that American foreign policy in the Middle East actually fuels more resentment towards them and creates more willing to die for their beliefs. I look forward to the next Republican onslaught as the election nears.
