Watch This (UPDATED)

UPDATE: So I was wrong. For now.
----------------------------------------------------
Sam Stein of the Huffington Post reports that there may be a deal in the making to exclude the Pentagon from the automatic sequestration that would be triggered if the so-called Super Committee (on deficit reduction) fails to reach an agreement by the coming Wednesday. If a deal is reached to exclude the Pentagon, you can bet your first-born's life that it will be yet another cave-in by Democrats. In other words, Democrats will get nothing in return, but they will accept to save the Pentagon from cuts because they are afraid to lose a huge constituency, the military, in the 2012 elections.

Democrats will publicly reason that there can be no partisan disagreement that the Pentagon's budget should not be sacrificed, without granting the same grace to the lives of the many hard-working, retired, or unemployed Americans who will suffer because of the cuts that will be made to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

And, in the ultimate mockery of the intelligence of thinking Americans, they will also reason, publicly or secretly, that by caving in they are protecting the interests of America because taking a principle stand might make them the minority party in both branches of Congress and contribute to losing the White House to a Republican. All of this while never asking the question: What good can come of a party that never takes a principled stand for its core constituencies in the name of self-preservation? Who needs it? I am increasingly convinced that the Democratic party is inching closer and closer to the apex of total uselessness.

Watch what happens on Wednesday, if you don't believe me.

Remember Vince Foster?

Sources say "key Blagojevich probe figure is dead". It won't be long before the Limbaughs and Hannitys of the world start claiming that this has somehow something to do with President Obama.

Where I Venture A Prediction

Now that the all the dominoes are falling and that the curtain of pretense hiding the illegitimacy and illegality of a bunch of the Bush Administration's actions since 9/11 is being torn asunder, the latest being the politicization of the terror alert system as revealed by our first DHS Secretary, Tom "Brylcreem" Ridge, I venture a prediction:

Sooner or later (probably sooner than later), a member of Congress will reveal that he or she cast a much needed vote for one of the Bush Administration's nefarious schemes after being blackmailed by the Bush Administration (most likely by Ashcroft or Cheney) with material gathered by means of an unathorized NSA intercept.

Hopefully this person will have time to testify to an oversight committee before "committing" suicide after being overpowered by shame.
