The Latest News Conference

 
June 14, 2006

Hello Sweethearts,

Your war president is flying high just now, isn’t he? He held a news conference today, June 14th, 2006, and he was brimming over with convivial charm and successful salesman-like enthusiasm. He was almost dancing behind his podium as he called upon the gathered reporters. He was more than slightly giddy about his recent secret trip to Iraq, and about the “bounce” he received from the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the late sicko head-hunting leader of the Sunnis in Iraq.

This news conference today was a king of the hill’s dream come true: a war president’s moment in history, a “decider’s” stalwart staying the course and finishing the mission that wasn’t quite accomplished, as formerly advertised. The president seems a little more confident right now though. And he’s especially delighted that he gets to keep his brain trust political consultant Karl Rove!

There was a lot of doubt about Karl you know. Poor guy, he leaked. But he couldn’t remember he leaked. It’s all a bit fishy. Was he the designated White House leaker? The special prosecutor thought so, but couldn’t prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. So Karl, as they say, walked. Happy day for the president...

But gas prices!.. We won’t even speak of gas prices! The Dow is dropping, inflation in general is on the rise, this year’s hurricanes are coming, and most horribly - people are still dying everyday because of our “decider’s” disastrous decisions. Also, My Lai-like and Haditha-like things keep happening while war-profiteers, who so adore this White House, keep raking in the big fantastic revenues.

However, we ghosts think the American people are catching on faster and faster these days.

So strut while you can G.W. honey.

Best regards from your Grandma Minutia.

P.S. I didn’t think I would be sending regards at this time, but my lovely vacation fell through. Yes, ghosts take vacations, and they can become ill too. So don’t think everything is going to be all fine and dandy after death, ‘cause it isn’t. (I’m really sorry to let you know about this.)
