Chant Down Babylon: 'Al Haig Parlayed Public Service to Make Millions Peddling Cluster ...'

by Jon Greenbaum


As the beltway pundits line up to pay tribute to what a great patriot and public servant Al Haig was, please stop to

In 1980, Salvadorean national guardsmen raped and murdered three U.S. nuns, Maura Clarke, Ita Ford and Dorothy Kazel, and a church worker, Jean Donovan. The crime occurred while Reagan was financing rightist forces in El Salvador. Haig responded by saying the vehicles the nuns were riding in may have tried to run a roadblock.



consider how he used the usual DC revolving door to parlay his public service into millions and millions and millions of dollars as a lobbyist hack for dictators and cluster bomb merchants. And let's not... forget his war crimes while in the Nixon and Reagan administration, supporting the genocidal Suharto regime, apartheid in South Africa and on and on.

Think about this as the overpaid cable pundits open up their pie holes to spew praise.

DragonFlyEye.Net: 'It Snowed Today, But So Far, No Glaciers.'

I was stunned and panic-stricken this morning. I looked outside my window and there was an unmistakable one to two inches of accumulated snow on top of my car. I couldn't believe my eyes, seeing as how scientists have been telling me for years that the globe is actually warming, yet here it was obviously colder than it was yesterday. These two things stood in clear and obvious contradiction to one another, as any good Conservative talking head could tell you. Or, even if you can't find a good one, anybody on Fox News could have explained it.

But so far, I haven't seen any glaciers forming. I've been watching all morning and nothing. Even more confusing, I think there's a chance that it may have warmed up a degree or two since six thirty this morning. So, who is right? Fox News or the global warming scientists? With the weather changing so much, it's really hard really pin it down. Fortunately, Rachel Maddow had Bill Nye the Science Guy on her show to explain it to me. Looking back, I almost feel as though all those Conservative yakkers were perhaps being a trifle disingenuous. Could that be right?
