This One's a Guilty Pleasure

I was surprised when I got back from Mike's departure to find my Mom telling me that Osama finally confessed to the 9/11 massacre. I disbelieved her until I read on the on-line AP. Not because my Mother is missing some mental functions (no more so than our family is in general, anyway), but because it wasn't in 48 font on Fox News. It seemed obvious to me that in an unbaised media, the most high-profile criminal suspect finally confessing after three years of waiting would be the lead.

Unless the media didn't want to embarass the goverment by exposing even further their government underbosses' tendency to go after people without even presenting a shred of proof (especially if that proof involves evidence of our own collaboration), instead relying on people's irrational belief that there must be some secret proof the people shouldn't be privy to, just yet, even though a smidgeon of proof for any of the two wars we're fighting would increase our credibility a million-fold, even though it's obvious that the Bush Gang would have presented it before the election in a heartbeat if they actually had it--

*ahem*

Anyway, I thought of the Haiku below on Friday and wrote it down today.
