Observers on the left have criticized the Bush administration for labeling people who oppose its policies, such as anti-war protestors and environmental activists, as "terrorists." But the Bushites discursive peculiarity took a surreal turn today when Education Secretary Rod Paige called teachers' union the National Education Association a "terrorist organization." Damn, its bad enough that terrorists can be your next-door neighbor or electrical engineers, but now those wild-and-crazy schoolteachers are tantamount to Osama Bin Laden.

This Guardian story has been blogged in plenty of other places, but its worth posting here, just to make damn sure everybody sees it. Bush is not only ignoring the scientific community and the Environmental Protection Agency in his denial of global warming, but it appears the "wartime president" is ignoring the Pentagon as well. A leaked Pentagon report contends global warming is real and presents a greater threat to global stability than Bush' beloved terrorists. Between this dissing of the Pentagon and Bush' attempt to cut combat pay to soldiers in Iraq, it seems inconceivable that any military person would support this former National Guardsman, but apparently there are servicepeople out there that still do.
