Are ya ready for some BULLSHIT?!

The Walt Disney Company caused a stir in TV circles a few months ago when they announced that Monday Night Football was being moved from their major network ABC to cable sports outlet ESPN. ABC plans to air Desperate Housewives on Monday nights, but next week the network will be airing something truly desperate, opportunistic, manipulative, and vile.

America has become a veritable Fourth Reich under the Bush Administration, and beginning Sunday, Americans will have the propaganda to match. Josef Goebbels would have given a body part to produce something like The Path to 9/11, a miniseries which is little more than an infomercial for the War on Terror (tm) and a last-ditch attempt to turn the tide for the GOP in this fall's Congressional elections.

At the heart of this production is some deeply disturbing historical revisionism which places the bulk of the fault for 9/11 on the Clinton Administration, claiming that the former President was soft on terror. The real evidence illustrates anything but softness, and in fact, Slick Willie wanted wiretaps long before Dubya. Also, it wasn't Clinton puttering around his ranch in Crawford for the entire summer of 2001 and hanging up on the FBI.

After 9/11, the National Football League began treating their opening weekend as one big star-spangled orgy. Compared to the propaganda being offered on ABC, Sunday night's Colts-Giants tilt and the Vikings-Redskins/Chargers-Raiders double-header Monday night might seem almost countercultural, at least until the recruiting ads at every time out.
