Bullhorn politics.
Flaming world, smoke spewing souls.
Spies and lies. Oh, My!

Dick Cheney knows it's just a matter of time until the buck stops.

His penchant for secrecy borders on the schizophrenic. People who surround him are so terrified of leaks, they don't even talk to each other. It's easy to imagine them scurrying through the White House halls, hugging the shadows -- wide eyed with fear -- looking for new hidey-holes to stuff incriminating papers, files, memos, and tapes that comprise the burgeoning and ever-so-uncontrollable paper trail...

They can hear his furtive shuffling, his enraged snarls, coming from the bowels of the shadowy bunker where he prowls -- world dominion within his sight and almost within his grasp. He is struggling to maintain order, to plug the holes in the political dike and to drag everything back into the murky darkness. But with just nine months to go before the 2004 presidential election, things are going horribly wrong. And time is running out.

This amazing rag-tag gang of zealots clutch their kalideoscopic agendae and place their entire trust in Cheney. Cheney advocates their own Straussian belief -- "those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is only one natural right, the right of the superior to rule over the inferior." Cheney is one of us, they whisper among themselves. It must be so because, unfettered by any sense of morality and wearing the mantle of executive privilege, Cheney rules in secret, not just above -- but outside -- Constitutional law.

Time is running out. Although most of the US media recoil from using the "H" word and Cheney in the same sentence, British, Australian and French media have no such qualms. These media are reporting that Cheney is the "target of a criminal investigation" for his role in establishing an "occult system of commissions (bribery) during Halliburton's construction of a natural gas complex in Nigeria."

[...]

War profiteering is treason. That's why Cheney is in too deep to back out now. He's in a race for time. When he looks back, he'll find to his horror that time has run out, and the buck is gaining on him. [continue reading...]
