What is it that Morpheus Says to Neo . . .

In that movie, "The Matrix," after Neo gets freed from the Matrix?

"Welcome to Reality?"

Or was it, "The Real Word?"

Either is close enough for today's point. Over on Daily Kos there is a good (for reality lovers) piece on Bushie Pundits who are ready to unplug from the Matrix that is the Bush/PNAC version of Fantasy Island.

Or as the headline says: "Conservative Pundits Bailing by the Busload ."

Perhaps that is MORE wishful thinking than accurate description, but still, some are getting fed up, whipping off the "Rose Colored Glasses," waking up from the "Bad Trip," escaping from the "Fun House," or the "Monkey House," or "Looney Bin." (Ok, even I got tired of the cliches there, but hey . . . any movement in that direction is a good thing, I say.)

Now this blurb is telling:

"And Jonathan Adler quotes a bailing Professor Bainbridge, who starkly states: "It's time for us conservatives to face facts. George W. Bush has pissed away the conservative moment by pursuing a war of choice via policies that border on the criminally incompetent."

I am one of those (and not really all that) smart, smart-asses who can honestly say . . ."Toldja So!"

Not that I am happy to be right. I just can't understand how anyone could have believed the load of bullshit coming out of the PNAC Freak Farm. It is not as if DEMOCRACY is like a fast food franchise, where you give the managers a crash course in how to run the fryolaytor and how to say,"Welcome to Bogus Burger . . . can I take your order," and drive a semi up to the back door of the shop, and be up and running as a business in a week.


Last note for today re The Debacle.

(and pay attention, any PNACERs or sympathizers)

Foreign Policy is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. It is HARDER. At least Rocket Scientists are dealing with Mathmatical Absolutes. You have to use Fuzzy Math, and if you pay too much attention to how you hope things will turn out, instead of "probability," or if you don't include the right factors, and give them the right values, expect to not only be wrong but make HUGE mistakes.
