GOP Dreams

According to Capitol Hill Blue, there is a GOP memo floating around that has "GOP insiders" floating "blue sky thinking" ideas about how and what could happen that would launch Emperor George back to the top of the popularity charts. Not surprisingly, they are hoping for another terrorist attack to boast his ratings as he would, they hope, spring into action and save us all from the afternath. As if the Katrina response doesn't give all of us with sense the willies at the thought of another disaster where we would have to rely on "strummin' George's" response.

So far, I haven't come across any major news source checking into the validity of the memo. Even if the memo is not true, I still would believe that George's minions are secretly hoping for some sort of diversion to pick the boss up out of the bottomless pit he's dug for himself.

Cuba's Granma newspaper reported this but, of course, they would not be taken seriously by any corporate news outlet in the US.

Soviet political cartoonist Yefimov dies at 108

REUTERS Yefimov 'survived not because of Stalin's generosity of soul, but because his talents as a cartoonist' Wed Oct 1, 4:38 PM ET MOSCOW - Celebrated political cartoonist Boris Yefimov, who drew brutally satirical images of the Soviet Union's foes in the service of Josef Stalin, died Wednesday. He was 108. Yefimov's death was given wide coverage on Russian state television. No cause was given. His cartoons spanned virtually the entire history of the communist state, from shortly after the 1917 revolution to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Among his most memorable drawings was one showing a wretched-looking Hitler, who is said to have ordered Yefimov shot if the Nazis captured Moscow in World War II. Instead, Yefimov was sent after the war to the Nuremburg trials to draw the Nazis as they faced justice. Yefimov also turned his pen against the United States. His Cold War drawings po...
