One of the results of putting our country in the hands of Failing Mediocrity (i.e. the Bush administration) is that the bar for success has been lowered.
Worse, our sycophantic press seems content to chronicle it all by reporting on banalities that only P.T. Barnum could love. Record gas prices? Hey, look at what Rev. Jeremiah said ... Record personal and national debt? Did Hillary really see sniper fire? ... Stagnant and declining wages? Let's watch Bush dance in Africa ... A collapsing dollar? Is middle-America really "bitter"? ... Lost prestige and respect abroad? Let's watch Bush dance in Africa (again) ...
As if suffering through these national embarrassments weren't enough, when it comes to the war in Iraq we now have the bastard child of mediocrity and incompetence: A nation that "settles."
Nothing says "A Nation that Settles" like a country that goes from "Mission Accomplished," to "Stay the Course," to pushing "they have a budget" as a sign of progress, to thinking "make it 100 Years" is OK ...
