Is this a great country, or what?

From Tristero over at Hullabaloo:

Today, I woke up to learn that perhaps the reason why Benazir Bhutto was accidentally killed by a protruding metal lever on her car's sun roof - hmm, something seems not quite, eh, kosher, about that story, but never mind - was because she was about to reveal proof that the upcoming Pakistani elections were rigged. And since everything that happens in the world is really about me - sorry, I meant US - my heart immediately swelled with patriotic pride.

Oh, America! How glad I am to live in a country where legitimate questions about rigged voting machines, uncounted ballots, voter intimidation, phone jamming, and other well-documented examples of egregious Republican electoral fraud are simply ignored, dismissed by the Real Players as mere gibbering Oliver Stone-style lunacy. No killings. No riots. And look, can you believe it?!? Britney's sister struck a deal for an on-demand telecast of her kid's birth - I mean, y'can't argue with the money and all, but something's not right about that.

Ahhhh. And we also have the tournament of roses to watch.
