Strike The Root: Dick Clarke's American Backstab?

Dick Clarke's American Backstab?

Richard Clarke, career government employee (I know that's not something to recommend him, but it's significant here) who has served under more Republican presidents than Democrat presidents, has his own book out on the subject of the Bush administration's obsession with Iraq at the expense of the war on al-Qaeda.

According to administration spokesman Rush Limbaugh, Clarke is nothing more than a "Clinton administration holdover" trying to bolster Clinton's sorry legacy when it comes to fighting terrorism. Clinton certainly has a sorry legacy all the way around, but what matters to Limbaugh is that Clarke makes Bush look bad. It's obviously all a political maneuver, as far as Rush is concerned, timed to coincide with John Kerry's vacation, which took place at the unfortunate moment of the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Whether Clarke's allegations are true or not is irrelevant; he's daring to criticize "our president," Limbaugh said, "during wartime."

Want to know what really to think about the Clarke allegations? Check out Justin Raimondo's thrice-weekly column at Antiwar.com.

It is strange, this painless death. Like stepping through a door held politely open for him. It doesn't seem right, somehow; a trivialization of the event. Death ought to be harder to achieve. Better to be hunted down, rooted out, hurting and bloody. Then death would come as a relief. It would be welcome. by free texas holdem

William Safire's Rules for Writers:

Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never
be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Verbs have to
agree with their subjects. Proofread carefully to see if you words
out. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal
of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. A writer must
not shift your point of view. And don't start a sentence with a
conjunction. (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a
sentence with.) Don't overuse exclamation marks!! Place pronouns as
close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more
words, to their antecedents. Writing carefully, dangling participles
must be avoided. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a
linking verb is. Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing
metaphors. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky. Everyone should
be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their
writing. Always pick on the correct idiom. The adverb always follows
the verb. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek
viable alternatives.

Florence Flask was ... dressing for the opera when she turned to her
husband and screamed, Erlenmeyer! My joules! Someone has stolen my
joules!

Now, now, my dear, replied her husband, keep your balance and reflux
a moment. Perhaps they're mislead.

No, I know they're stolen, cried Florence. I remember putting them
in my burette ... We must call a copper.

Erlenmeyer did so, and the flatfoot who turned up, one Sherlock Ohms,
said the outrage looked like the work of an arch-criminal by the name
of Lawrence Ium.

We must be careful -- he's a free radical, ultraviolet, and
dangerous. His girlfriend is a chlorine at the Palladium. Maybe I can
catch him there. With that, he jumped on his carbon cycle in an
