It is understandable why Fox News has become so preoccupied with showcasing O.J. Simpson.  The controversy-shrouded former running back's latest brushes with the law and impending trial offer a perfect opportunity.

Simpson's current legal difficulties afford an ideal distraction.  The Republican Party's neoconservative television propaganda arm can use Simpson to once more mesmerize its faithful by distancing them from the discomforting realities of the disasters confronting the neoconservative regime that Fox stridently touts.

Fox hopes that the masses are not paying attention to the U.S. Today story running in its September 24 edition.  

Matt Krantz offers a different picture from the rosy scenario George W. Bush depicted the other day when he told Americans to relax, that he received a B in the economics course he took at Harvard, and that the mortgage situation that economists are so concerned about will not affect the overall U.S. economic picture.

Rylla Goldberg of Tacoma, Washington, in a letter to the editors of the Seattle Times on February 22, had this to say regarding Dick Cheney:

"He is leader of C & Three R's (Cheney, Karl Rove, Condoleezza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld) a world famous quartet.  They instruct President Bush about what to think and say, what lies to tell and when to tell them."

Could it be that supreme arrogance of the ignorance is the hallmark of this woefully corrupt and inept Republican administration?  Inefficiency on a vast scale is evident, as Bush's political favorites constantly display their inadequacies.

To hear Bush and his cronies rant on about the success in Iraq delivering democracy, you'd almost think there was no Civil War between the Iraq religious factions, bringing almost daily bombings and death to us via TV news.
