Round and round

Once again, I made a joke that I may never get to tell (it has to do with supporting troupes who've volunteered for an illegal war).

A lot of pundits are wagging about the surprise that people are showing over recent events.
This isn't the first time a president has taken office without the popular vote to back it.
This isn't the first time US soil has been attacked
This isn't the first time the WTC was attacked.
This isn't the first time a presidency mishandled a situation.
If you believe the truly paranoid, it isn't the first time the Dog has been wagged.
it's not the first time the government has spilled money into a company (like Haliburton)
It's not the first time a presidential family business has benefitted from a standing president
This isn't the first war that wasn't really a war we've entered.
this isn't the first time that "operational protocols" have been shifted (afganistan>saddam)
It's not the first time a president has backed all his cronies no matter how incompetent.

Really, there's nothing particularly unique or surprising about the Dubya administration. Except this:
WHY DO WE KEEP LETTING POLITICIANS DO THIS? WHY HASN'T A GRAND JURY BEEN ASSEMBLED, OR A GOOD OLD FASHIONED LYNCHING? WHAT THE HELL CAN WE DO?
