Two Incongruities

Incongruity #1: citizens are up in arms about foul play in various sports cases (e.g., players using hormones, lying about their age, etc.), to the point that they want federal court cases about them. On the other hand, the Bush Administration lies about the case for war in Iraq, about wiretapping, ignored threats of terrorist attacks before 9/11, enabled the conditions for economic crisis, etc. But nobody seems willing to do much about it.

Incongruity #2: People who doubt the consensus expert testimony of scientists that global warming is real, but who were utterly convinced by the shitty case for Iraq having WMDs.
