In other, more down-to-earth news, quite a number of former high-ranking officials are signing a statement condemning George W. Bush with regards to foreign policy decisions.

In all honesty, I simply can’t understand why anyone would want to re-elect this guy, other than staunch partisan sheep. Honestly. Re-elect a president who has sent our the deficit skyrocketing, trashed our image in the eyes of every other country in the world, gotten us involved in a middle east hornets nest, and had the audacity to sign into law the Patriot Act?

Geez, I know I sound like a broken record, but come on now! Hell, even four years of Kerry gridlock with a Republican legislature would be better than where we’re gonna be if Bush gets a second mandate.

That’s about all I can say, concerning this article concerning some strange coronation ceremony for none other than the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in… the Dirksen Senate Office Building?!

It gets stranger…

…and even stranger…!

Now, I am taking this with a grain of salt for now, and I’m not throwing down any sort of partisan gauntlet — there were, after all, both Republicans and Democrats at this strange event. I wish I could find out more about it, though — it’s perhaps the craziest thing I’ve ever seen!
