Lay'd to rest
Ken Lay's funeral yesterday (attended by Bush 41) was a perfect example of the cognitive dissonance of the right. In the eulogy, Kenny Boy was described as a great man, a philanthropist who was unfairly "lynched", and compared to Martin Luther King (?!) Okay, so maybe he was an okay guy if you forget about the thousands-of-people-whose-lives-he-trashed-for-his-own-gain thing. But, oh yeah, he was a "christian", and if you attend the right church you can not only get away with destroying peoples' lives, but be applauded for the accomplishment.
And I'm still not totally convinced he's really dead. I think he's guzzling daiquiris on some island. Where's the body!!?? It's ashes now... ha.
