DEPARTMENT OF USELESS RHETORIC

On a day when war has proven its continued reliability and effectiveness in ending oppression and replacing slavery with freedom, presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Syria) proposes a "Department of Peace" and a "Peace Academy." I'm not making this up. The Peace Academy would "make recommendations to the president on the protection of human rights, said Kucinich, who said his bill has the support so far of 47 members of the House of Representatives."

Graduates of the Military, Naval and Air Force Academies are today restoring human rights to the people of Iraq, so I don't see what a bunch of bookworms in birkenstocks at this "Peace Academy" could have done to help. Write a thesis or two? Doing nothing is likely what their contribution would have been, which is exactly the contribution of Kucinich, Kerry, Sharpton and the other Democratic presidential aspirants.

But, I might favor this Peace Academy, if only to see their annual football games against Army, Navy and Air Force. Ouch.

The Farcification of the Democratic Party continues.
