State of the Union: George W. Bush and the "duty to speak with candor"
"With so much in the balance, those of us in public office have a duty to speak with candor."
Those words came in the middle of George W. Bush's State of the Union speech, and we certainly can't disagree with them. We only wish the president would live up to them.
Again and again Tuesday night, the president said words aimed at obscuring hard truths and hiding the harsh reality that his administration has visited upon the American people. Bush talked about the importance of education for young people, ignoring the fact that his administration proposed the first cut in overall federal education spending in a decade. He talked of fiscal restraint and the need to be a good "steward" of taxpayers' money, ignoring the fact that government spending has exploded on his watch and that he hasn't once exercised his veto to stop it. He talked of the need to wean the nation from its "addiction" to foreign oil, ignoring the fact that that addiction had deepened as his administration resisted strict fuel-economy standards, proposed cuts in alternative energy programs and dismissed conservation as little more than "a sign of personal virtue."
Bush said that all elected officials must "never forget, never dismiss and never betray" their pledge to be "worthy of public responsibility," neglecting to mention that his administration lied to the American public about the Valerie Plame case and is stonewalling both Congress and the press on the Jack Abramoff scandal.
And as the president talked about the need for Congress and the White House to work "in a spirit of good will and respect for one another," he failed to mention the ways in which he's shown neither. He didn't mention the recess appointments he's made in order to circumvent the Senate confirmation process; he didn't mention the signing statements he's used to make it clear that he considers himself free to ignore Acts of Congress; he didn't mention the way that his administration has routinely stiffed members of Congress seeking information on everything from Katrina to Enron to the Downing Street memos. And Bush certainly didn't mention that his administration seems to have broken the law by failing to brief Congress on its warrantless spying program -- or that his attorney general not only failed to inform Congress about the program but may have affirmatively misled the Senate about its existence.
So "a duty to speak with candor," Mr. President? We're all for it, and we hope one day to hear a State of the Union address from someone who knows or cares about what those words mean.

Polytrauma. This is so fucking tragic, it makes me want to cry.
"With better battlefield care and protective gear, the military is saving more of the wounded, yet the insurgents' heavy reliance on car bombs and buried explosives means the survivors are more damaged — and damaged in more different ways — than ever before.
To describe the maimed survivors of this ugly new war, a graceless new word, polytrauma, has entered the medical lexicon. Each soldier arriving at Tampa's Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center, inside the giant veterans hospital, brings a whole world of injury. The typical patient, Dr. Scott said, has head injuries, vision and hearing loss, nerve damage, multiple bone fractures, unhealed body wounds, infections and emotional or behavioral problems. Some have severed limbs or spinal cords."
I ought be careful not to wear yellow, lest strangers take me for Lance Armstrong and parade me about on their shoulders, spraying geysers of champagne into my giddy maw, shoving hot croque monsieur into my hands, lading my arms with bundles of cured meats and jars of olives, filling the basket of my bicycle with calvados and cognac, packing my pockets with pâté de foie gras, tucking granules of sel gris into my cheek, and, finally, strapping an entire Serrano ham across my back in the manner of a quiver and pushing me off in the direction of a forest, where I might do what I will with all these things and dance the night away under the stars, deliriously happy, affirmed of life and senses, with poetry in my heart, mortality comfortably at bay, the whole lot. Yes, I had better not wear yellow.

Yeah, that is odd... I bet it's some ramshackle way to catch the guys whose selective service applications got lost in the mail / under their beds.
