and our friends the media bosses.
From the looks of it, the recovery is going along nicely with jobs growth, a lagging indicator of economic strength in a recovery, kicking in right on schecule. Jobs are increasing and Possibly President Kerry is having a harder time arguing the economy is bad...short term, that is. That leaves Iraq. Which also leaves us two people who supported the war. Bush is vulnerable on the war and the conduct of it. The Gay S&M Prison Scandal is just the latest in a series of sorry events. However Kerry is the proverbial person living in a glass house holding stones in his hand. He who lives in glass houses should not thrown stones. He has been oddly silent on the war and the stuff going on in the Iraq prison. Cause he supported the war. Howard Dean, however, was against the war and would beat Bush like a drum with the war-and the various mind controltype interrogation techniques done on our newly rescued allies, the Iraqis.
Now the media bosses and the people who own their media outlets and advertise on them are rather smart business types and understand the mechanics of the business cycle as well as anyone. They knew the economy would pick up and jobs would as well. Thus taking away one issue from the Democrats. But they may also have known about Iraq. That things were not going as well as planned ..and may not in the future. The one articulate, well funded candidate who could hurt Bush on this issue was Howard Dean. So our good friends the media bosses shouted from the rooftops that Howard Dean could not win...and we got another war hawk in his place. The S&M Prison would be a godsend to Howard. But he's not in the running. Proving once again that, as they say, the system works.
Number forty-seven said to number three: You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see. I sure would be delighted with your company, Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me. Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock.
The sad sack was a sittin’ on a block of stone Way over in the corner weepin’ all alone. The warden said, hey, buddy, don’t you be no square. If you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair. Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock. Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock.
Jailhouse Rock Lyrics (Elvis Presley)
