Our Bushitler & Eva have no sense of humor!
Who would have thunk it that our Bushitler and Eva don't have a sense of humor? I thought there was so much to laugh about these days because these two have caused so much joy in our country and across the world! Well, Steve Colbert of Comedy Central was creating his own 'Armaggedon' and thought Bush and Laura would find it amusing and take it as a compliment! Well, they didn't and I think Steve Colbert deserves the Medal of Freedom.
On Saturday at the White House Correspondents dinner, Steve Colbert said things like this to our Fuhrer and his wife:
“This administration is soaring, not sinking,” he said. “They are re-arranging the deck chairs--on the Hindenburg.”
And he said this: "Turning to the war, he declared, "I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."
Hey, why not? Let's sell more stuff to Dubai
Okay, we now know that Rush Limbaugh pretty much weaseled his way out of his drug charge, but now we're finding out that The Weasels in the White House are still weasling at the expense of the American people's safety! Apparently, for America to be safe, it still makes sense to the Bush Warpigs to put the Dubai Arabs (the financier of the 9/11 attack) in charge of making some of our military equipment! Yup, that's right....Americans don't know how to make our own military equipment, so we'll just put the enemy in charge of it and take their $1.2 billion dollar check!!!!!!!!!! Outrageous!!! Of course, Scott McClellan 'reassured' the public that all the necessary steps were taken to make sure that Americans will not be harmed by this purchase. Uh huh. I've heard that before.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Rush Limbaugh has been arrested!
Ass Limbo has been arrested on precription fraud charges!!!! I love it. He's already out on bail and is in the process of making a plea agreement (of course....the little weener!). I love it. I hope he goes to prison for a long time even with a plea deal!!!!!!!!!!!
US Democratic Representatives Arrested in Washington today!
This is wonderful news! Five democrats from the House of Representatives were arrested today in Washington because they were protesting the genocide in Darfur. They expected to be arrested to bring attention to the autrocities that are occuring in the Sudan. Good for them. We, as Americans, need to be protesting.....and God knows we have enough reasons to!
What is Osama bin Laden wanted for?
I'm part of an online group of progressives who share newspaper articles about current events and discuss them. Sometimes, we might post something to the group that is different from the daily news or maybe a joke or two just to lighten things up. Well, today I received an email from one of the group members that talked about how the FBI has Osama bin Laden (the FBI spells it Usama) listed as one of their Most Wanted, which would appear to be normal, but the emailer pointed out to me that when you click on Osama's name to get further information on him, you find that Osama isn't wanted for the 9/11/01 horror! Here's what it does say:
Now, it does say on the opening page of the FBI's website that he is being sought for that but once you read the language of it, it makes you think that they just threw it in at the last minute!
My whole point is that I've been saying for years that 9/11 was an inside job and that Osama's name and likeness was used by the Bush Warpigs (with Osama's permission of course) to start their 'Pearl Harbor': the Iraq War. This is why Bush was yelling "Iraq!" on the day of 9/11 rather than yelling, "Osama! Afghanistan!". I thought this was interesting and had to post it. The website page is linked above. Check it out for yourself and see if you agree.
Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world.
Now, it does say on the opening page of the FBI's website that he is being sought for that but once you read the language of it, it makes you think that they just threw it in at the last minute!

11 House Democrats are suing the Bush Warpigs over Budget Bill!
This is huge news! A few months ago I posted on the AOL message boards that Bush had broken the law by signing a Budget Bill that had not passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate...and was told by neocons that it's 'non-news' because of the way the process works. Well, I kept pushing it and now it appears that I was correct! A Bill becomes a law AFTER the House and the Senate both approve it. It is then sent to the president to be signed to make it official. Well, what happened was there was one Budget Bill that passed but there was also one that didn't. The one that didn't pass both houses IS THE ONE BUSH SIGNED!!! Now.......11 House democrats are suing the Bush Administration for breaking the law (or at least the rules of passing a Bill into law). I love it.
The "Dukester" needed prostitutes! Why? Because he's a corrupt republican!
I remember a time in my life when William Jefferson Clinton received a blow job one day from his intern that worked in his office. Yup, a blow job. It's not illegal. Hell, cheating on your wife or husband isn't illegal either, and quite frankly, it happens all the time. The funniest part was when the republicans at the time being outraged about it! Well, according to republicans of today, who also were very upset with Clinton getting a blow job back years ago, it's okay now if THEY hire loads of prostitutes! Yes, that's right. The God-fearing republicans of today find it okay to delge into illegal activity on all levels, not just bribery, corruption, lying to the Feds or what have you, but they are also involved in hiring prostitutes. Randy 'Duke' Cunningham is already facing 8 years behind bars for his corruption, but it's now being learned that some of his criminals were also supplying him with prostitutes and limos to boot! And not only that, the Feds are talking to people on the Hill to find out if there were other House Representatives who were also receiving blow jobs from prostitutes. My, my, my....how the tables have turned. My hope is that "Hot Tub" Tom Delay hired a few prostitutes for himself! Wouldn't that be fantastic?!! I think so. One thing about us liberals/democrats....we don't forget! And you know what? I bet the 'Dukester's" wife won't either.
As many as 23 Bush employees in the Plame/Leak scandal
Well, it appears that Rove is going to have good company when he spends a good part of 2007/2008 in prison (until Bush pardons him and the rest of the crew). Let's hope a good portion of them don't get their trials until after Bush is gone so they can't be pardoned!!!

Will Tony Snow flip flop on the Bush Warpigs?
Here are some past quotes from Tony Snow about Bush and his Warpigs:
– Bush has “lost control of the federal budget and cannot resist the temptation to stop raiding the public fisc.” [3/17/06]
– “George W. Bush and his colleagues have become not merely the custodians of the largest government in the history of humankind, but also exponents of its vigorous expansion.” [3/17/06]
– “President Bush distilled the essence of his presidency in this year’s State of the Union Address: brilliant foreign policy and listless domestic policy.” [2/3/06]
– “George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.” [11/11/05]
– Bush “has a habit of singing from the Political Correctness hymnal.” [10/7/05]
– “No president has looked this impotent this long when it comes to defending presidential powers and prerogatives.” [9/30/05]– Bush “has given the impression that [he] is more eager to please than lead, and that political opponents can get their way if they simply dig in their heels and behave like petulant trust-fund brats, demanding money and favor — now!” [9/30/05]
– “When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can’t say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the president doesn’t seem to mean what he says.” [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]
– “The president doesn’t seem to give a rip about spending restraint.” [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]
– “Bush, for all his personal appeal, ultimately bolstered his detractors’ claims that he didn’t have the drive and work ethic to succeed.” [11/16/00]
– “Little in the character of demeanor of Al Gore or George Bush makes us say to ourselves: Now, this man is truly special! Little in our present peace and prosperity impels us to say: Give us a great man!” [8/25/00]
– “George W. Bush, meanwhile, talks of a pillowy America, full of niceness and goodwill. Bush has inherited his mother’s attractive feistiness, but he also got his father’s syntax. At one point last week, he stunned a friendly audience by barking out absurd and inappropriate words, like a soul tortured with Tourette’s.” [8/25/00]
– “He recently tried to dazzle reporters by discussing the vagaries of Congressional Budget Office economic forecasts, but his recitation of numbers proved so bewildering that not even his aides could produce a comprehensible translation. The English Language has become a minefield for the man, whose malaprops make him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan, but Norm Crosby.” [8/25/00]
– “On the policy side, he has become a classical dime-store Democrat. He gladly will shovel money into programs that enjoy undeserved prestige, such as Head Start. He seems to consider it mean-spirited to shut down programs that rip-off taxpayers and mislead supposed beneficiaries.” [8/25/00]

Who is Bush's daddy?
Well, it's official....Bush is an oil maggot! Of course, we already knew that, but today.......he officially got the award. To combat the price of gas/oil, Bush has decided to suspend all environmental rules and regulations connected to Big Oil so they can create more oil/gas without the extra expenses of being nice to the environment! Oh for the love of the Spaghetti Monster....can you believe this madness? Nancy Pelosi said today that oil men are running the country and that is the reason that oil is expensive. I agree! It's a no-brainer. Of course that is why Bush is....again....saving money for the oil companies! You watch...the environmental rules/regulations will never go back on the books for the rest of his corrupt term. I hate him.
Condi being met by violent protests in Greece
Not surprising....even the Greeks are protesting our Fuhrer and his people. Condi is being met with violent protests during her visit to Greece and some are holding up banners that read, "CONDI GO HOME". They're not only protesting Condi's visit, but they are also protesting against, "the imperialist, war-mongering US government". Oh boy. It seems that countries we consider our allies are not falling in line behind us if Bush decides to attack Iran.
"We protest against Rice, who is here seeking allies for a new war against Iran," said Costas Kazakos, a senior KKE member.Will it ever end? Meaning, will there ever be a time when an American is welcomed with outstretched arms? I don't see it happening....not with Bush and his Warpigs at the helm! It is so embarrassing to me that our country's reputation has been shattered in a few short years because we have a leader who insists that his policies are correct and our nation and the world's is not. Hitler had a hard time doing this too. Bush is currently at a 32-33% approval rating. Where did his mandate that he proclaimed he had back in November of 2004 go? It went right down the toilet as soon as he opened his mouth and said it!!!

Will the Congress finally tax big oil for their exuberant profits?
Let's hope so because watching Bush talk about it today or recently, it's a laugh and a half. Here's what Bush said in 2000:
BUSH PROMISES TO FORCE OPEC TO LOWER PRICES... "What I think the president ought to do [when gas prices spike] is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots...And the president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price." [President Bush, 1/26/00]

Physicists to read letter to Bush on 4/26/06
Don't you find it interesting that the media is not talking about the nuclear bunker-busting bomb that is going to be tested by our military in the Nevada on 6/2/06, which will be the largest bomb ever tested in the history of our nation? I think so and I'm furious about it. The above linked letter is from prominent physicists who are concerned about a war with Iran and they have laid out their reasons and concerns to the president on why the nuclear option should be taken off the table. We all know why it should be, but for some reason, "Mr. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue", isn't listening and his "liberal media" isn't talking about it either!!! This is important, so much so, that the physicists are going to read their letter across the street from the White House in the hopes they can cut through the arrogance and stubborness of the occupant inside! They know the consequences of what madman Bush is going to do! I hope this moment is televised because Americans need to see this display of patriotism and dissent. If it is televised, I will post it...well...that is if I can figure out how to do it. :-) What is our future going to be for the next two years with this madman at the helm? I see nothing but cloudy skies ahead and it's time for Congress to step up to the plate and do something about it! For God's sake, there are some who are reporting that we already have troops on the ground in Iran and we have a Congress who is turning their backs on us, who will only be working 98 days this year, and who doesn't care about us Americans! Good grief. Have we had enough?
Sex trafficking is all the rage in Iraq now!
This very reason could be why some Iraqis are desiring Saddam to return to power. Not only has the country of Iraq, which was once divided into three sects and was 'peaceful' for the most part, had to endure endless violence each day, had only eight hours of electricity each day if they're lucky, rarely have access to good clean water, but now their daughters have a higher chance of being kidnapped and sold into the sex slave business since we invaded there! Good grief. Oh for the love of humanity, I wish this war would end. I am so embarrassed that our president lied us into this war just to line the pockets of his corporate buddies and I'm embarrassed that he is not paying attention to what his lies have created and doing something about it. How awful it is to know that Saddam Hussein did a much better job at keeping Iraq stable than what Bush has done with it for the past three years. I can only imagine how terrified these little girls must be. Incredible. Will this generation of Iraqis who are affected by this end up hating us in the future? Time will tell, but I can guarantee, they won't forget!!
Breaking News: New Osama tape just released on Al-Jazeera
Apparently, Osama bin Laden has released another tape this time exclaiming that the US is at war with Islam (where did he get that idea? Hmmmmm....we need to ask Bush that question!!! Oh yeah, he doesn't spend much time on looking for Osama anymore, so why bother him with a question like that!). I find it odd that Osama has impeccable timing! He always seems to come out of the cave to make threats against us when Bush's approval ratings are plummeting! It's almost like he is being used by the Bush Warpigs to remind the people that we need to be scared and that we need to APPROVE OF THEM....THEY'RE OUR PROTECTORS! Oh please. I'm not falling for it. Even if a large nuclear bomb explodes in our country (especially if it's a new styled nuclear bunker-busting bomb!), I hate to say it, BUT THE BLAME WILL GO ON THEIR SHOULDERS.
Bush to bring out the "big guns"
I just heard on the news that Bush, because his ratings are plummeting faster than a cannonball dropped off the side of a ship, is thinking of bringing Laura out more to talk with the people to help his ratings. Oh please. The only way Bush and Laura can get their ratings up is if they bring a million gallons of gas and oil with them wherever they go and sell it cheaply to the people! Yes, Laura Bush on the surface appears to be very motherly (her voice drives the neocons online mad in this country! It's almost like they grew up motherless and she is what they wanted in a mother. It's very creepy their primal reaction to her.) and very concerned, but people are forgetting how snappy she can get when things aren't going well for her husband. If she thinks for a second that she has it bad at times, well then, she needs to talk to Hillary Rodham Clinton for six months. Hillary had it tough....Laura never has. Period. So, will Americans be caught in Laura's sticky web now? Will Americans say to themselves, "Hey, it's okay that her husband was spying on us
as early as January 2001, that he paid the Taliban $43 million dollars in May of 2001 and then took our country off the International Criminal Court, that he just sat there the morning of 9/11 like it wasn't a surprise attack, that he and his Cabal released the name of a CIA operative's identity out of revenge against a person who didn't go along with their lying scheme, that he lied to get us into war with a country that didn't have a military, was defenseless against us, and who had nothing to do with 9/11, that he let Osama bin Laden escape when we had him cornered in Tora Bora (he outsourced his capture to the very people who were harboring him), that he and his Warpigs have slowly eroded our Constitution and have almost rendered our Congress useless, or how he is planning a 'Divine Strike' against the country of Iran
and using the same lies he used prior to illegally invading,
bombing, killing, and occupying Iraq.....we don't care about any of this anymore.....because Laura is speaking to us now!". Oh Please. If Americans fall for Bush and Laura's deceit once
again, then we are no better off and deserve an American dictatorship!

Why is 'Divine Strake' called that?
On June 2, 2006, our military will be testing a 700 ton nuclear bomb in the Nevada desert which is approximately 90 miles from Las Vegas. The bunker-buster bomb has been nicknamed 'Divine Strake' (I posted the full story a few posts below this one). What does 'Divine Strake' mean? When I first heard the name of it my thought was, "Oh I get it...it's really supposed to be 'Divine Strike' to rally the Evangelical End-Timers in our country", but after further research, I found that the names for bombs or exercises such as this are chosen by a system called the Nickname & Exercise Codeword System (LOL...gee, that's a creative title). Apparently right now our military is using the "Divine" series. Because each nickname has to have two names, "strake" (the definition is described in the above title link) was added to it. Other nicknames in the past have been: Bubble Girl and Busy Lobster. I find it very creepy, though, that our military is giving names like this to bombs or testing exercises, but I suppose it's better than nicknaming them, "Iranian Enema" or "Enemy Eliminator" or something like that! I'm really nervous about this nuclear testing exercise that is going to happen in June. It is supposed to be the BIGGEST BOMB TEST EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE MILITARY. Scary indeed. I read one article recently that predicted a 10,000 foot high dust cloud will appear in the shape of a mushroom cloud! The bomb will be tested underground and the military is stating that nothing lethal will leak out through the ground. (Yeah right. Wasn't it the government agencies that said the air at Ground Zero in NYC was safe to breathe and now we are hearing of cases of people dying of weird respiratory illnesses? Oh boy.)
Everything you've ever wanted to know about Divine Strake is here!
"Let's put him under oath and find out"
The above linked article is really about Karl Rove (left) and how the man likes 'to win at all costs' (even if he uses illegal schemes to accomplish it). One of those illegal schemes was the phone jamming scheme in New Hampshire in the last presidential election. Poor Ken Mehlman, though, of the Republican National Committee (I say that very tongue-in-cheek), because Howard Dean, who heads the Democratic Party, is suggesting, "Let's put him under oath and find out", when referring to Ken Mehlman's assertions that he didn't know a thing about the phone jamming that was being done in New Hampshire prior to the election. Uh huh, yeah right Ken. I agree with Dean: PUT MEHLMAN UNDER OATH TO SEE IF HE STILL FEELS THAT WAY!
Hey, why not....even Condi Rice is leaking classified information...
Oh the hypocracy of the Bush Administration! It's okay for them to leak classified information to the media or to whomever they want, but when a CIA Intelligence officer leaks information to the media that shows the Administration is not acting in a civil way or is doing something illegal, they get fired. Well, now it appears that Condi Rice (who I like to refer to as, "I was buying expensive shoes in NYC when people in the Gulf Coast were drowning" Condi) has also leaked information to lobbyists! Mary McCarthy could be facing serious jail time for what she leaked, but will Condi face it too? Doubtful. This Administration is made out of Teflon and it is because of that Americans are losing confidence in them, as well as, losing confidence in the Congress. Since the republican controlled Congress is refusing to hold this Administration accountable for the criminal acts they have committed, they too are accomplices and will go down in history as such! Have we had enough yet? I have.
Here's an interesting article on Mary McCarthy
The Firing of Mary McCarthy
http://www.tpmcafe.com/node/29098
April 22, 2006
By Larry Johnson bio
The case against the CIA Intelligence Officer, Mary McCarthy, fired for her alleged role in leaking information about secret prisons to the Washington Post's Dana Priest smells a little fishy. Let me state at the outset that the officer in question, Mary McCarthy, is an old acquaintance. I hasten to add that I do not consider her a friend. She was my immediate boss in 1988-89 and was instrumental in my decision to leave the CIA and take a job at the State Department's Office of Counter Terrorism. Mary, in my experience, was a terrible manager. I left the CIA in 1989 despite having received two exceptional performance awards during my last eight months on the job because I could not stand working under her.
That said, I take no delight in the news that she was fired. In fact, there are some things about the case that puzzle me. For starters, Mary never worked on the Operations side of the house. In other words, she never worked a job where she would have had first hand operational knowledge about secret prisons. She worked the analytical side of the CIA and served with the National Intelligence Council. According to press reports, she subsequently worked at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) from 2001 thru 2005. That is a type of academic/policy wonk position and, again, would not put her in a position to know anything first hand about secret prisons.
Sometime within the last year she returned to CIA on a terminal assignment. I've heard through the grapevine that she was attending the seminar for officers who are retiring while working with the Inspector General (IG). Now things get interesting.
She could find out about secret prisons if Intelligence Officers involved with that program had filed a complaint with the IG or if there was some incident that compelled senior CIA officials to determine an investigation was warranted. In other words, this program did not come to Mary's attention (if the allegations are true) because she worked on it as an ops officer. Instead, it appears an investigation of the practice had been proposed or was underway. That's another story reporters probably ought to be tracking down.
I am struck by the irony that Mary McCarthy may have been fired for blowing the whistle and ensuring that the truth about an abuse was told to the American people. There is something potentially honorable in that action; particularly when you consider that George Bush authorized Scooter Libby to leak misleading information for the purpose of deceiving the American people about the grounds for going to war in Iraq.
While I'm neither a fan nor friend of Mary's, she may have done a service for her country. She was a lousy manager in my experience, but she is not a traitor and has not betrayed the identity of an undercover intelligence officer. That dirty work was done by the minions of George Bush and Dick Cheney. It is important to keep that fact in the forefront as the judgment on Mary McCarthy's acts is rendered.

Thank God for our elderly!
Old ladies in this country are pissed off at the war and they're not going to take it anymore! Spending 15 days in jail for speaking their minds? Yup, they don't mind at all that they could be facing jail time, because to them it's, "Protest the war or bust!". Love it.
John Kerry still speaking truth to power
"How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" Kerry said in 1971.John Kerry is asking the same question today of the Bush Administration. Good.
The Oil Maggots are intentionally driving up prices
Yup, gas prices are increasing because there is talk about attacking Iran. Iran has tons of oil.....tons and tons and tons of it. Iran is also the one country in the way of finishing that darn oil pipeline that the Oil Maggots have been working on since we invaded Afghanistan. So, you've got Steve Forbes on Fox News saying that the only way to halt these prices is to bomb Iran! Oh wow, isn't that what the Oil Maggots said before illegally attacking Iraq? Yup. They're pushing this idea too. When it gets to be $5.00/gallon, all the right wing nutcases will be saying, "Bomb Iran! Drop a nuke! We need relief!" and then Americans will respond, "Duh, okay, that makes sense to me", and the next thing we know, Iran is bombed, the Oil Maggots have captured the oil, gas prices will plummet for two months, and then it will skyrocket again BECAUSE THEY FAKED YOU OUT AGAIN!!!! So for right now, the Oil Maggots are enjoying the manipulation of the market and are hoarding their profits while they tell you that Nigeria and Iran are the reason for the increase (though....a thunderstorm in Italy can do it too! Can you say price gouging?). You're stupid if you believe them!!!!!! Once they bomb Iran "to bring the price of oil down", they'll be enjoying more profits because they HAVE CAPTURED MORE OIL AND WILL STOP SELLING AND/OR REFINING IT TO DRIVE THE PRICE UP MORE! That's what they're doing in Iraq right now.....sitting on the oil to drive the price up across the globe.

Army Times has done a poll on Donald Rumsfeld
Uh oh....even people at the Army Times want Rumsfeld out! Check out their poll above.
Speak truth to power even if your voice cracks!!!!
I'm angry. Remember Wenyi Wang? She was one of many reporters at the welcoming ceremony at the White House for President Hu of China. She heckled Hu while he was speaking and because she spoke truth to power, Bush's Secret Service dragged her away while shutting her up by putting a hand over her mouth. But that's not what is angering me (though I am angry about that especially when Bush was telling Hu while at the podium that freedom of speech is a good thing! Hypocrite!). What is really angering me is the response today on the news programs. Even Imus in the Morning earlier today was making fun of her voice (yes...she's Chinese and her voice was cracking because she was angry! get over it!!) and he is missing the whole point as to what this woman was trying to express. Who cares how the woman's voice sounded like. She was pissed and was feeling helpless. We all get like that at times where our voices crack because we are so angry. She had a right to speak and what she was speaking about and trying to bring attention to is being lost by idiots in our media. We all know that China is a repressive regime, but what some people don't know is that this woman was (and is) part of a religious group in China called Falun Gong. Why am I angry? Well, members of this religious group back in China are being rounded up daily and are brought to prison camps in that country...and in some cases....the prisoners are cut open alive and their organs are removed to be sold on the black market! For God's sake, this is Evil and criminal and this woman was trying to make that point to our money, hungry, greedy president to tell Hu to stop the killing! But did he listen? No! I wouldn't be surprised if the maniac got some tips from Hu on how to treat his own prisoners he has scattered across the planet! We need more Wenyi Wang's in this country, not just to stand up for her cause (which is a very important cause), but to start speaking truth to power even if our voices crack. We need to get off our asses to go after repressive regimes...even if it is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC!
Katherine Harris is a slut
Katherine Harris is a slut and will do anything to win (think back to the 2000 election and what she did in Florida along with Jebby and you'll know what I mean). She's running for the U.S. Senate and here she is practically molesting this poor kid. What an ass.
CIA employee fired for leaking to the press
A CIA officer has been fired for leaking information to the media that exposed our secret (torture) prisons around the globe and exposed Bush's (illegal) surveillance program (see "Bill Bennett" post below). He failed a polygraph test when questioned about this. Okay. I'm angry that this man was fired because he should receive a medal (the Washington Post did earn a Pulitzer for exposing the prisons/surveillance program) for crying out loud! Americans need to know what is being done in our name whether it's here on our soil or across the planet. I've been saying for some time now that the CIA and the FBI should start turning on the Admin because of all their illegal activity...and it looks they have. Let's hope it continues. The bottom line is that the Bush Administration doesn't want their criminal activity to be known, so they on the one hand, will out a CIA operative in retaliation for exposing THEIR lies and distortions, but then on the other hand, they will fire a CIA officer for exposing their sinister schemes! Incredible. If we are not living in a dictatorship right now, then I have no idea what a democracy truly is. Americans deserve transparency and if we can't have that during a time of war because we are afraid that six guys in a cave with laptops will topple us and will hurt our security, then I'm thinking maybe we aren't as powerful as we think we are! We are a superpower for God's sake. Americans need to know. Remember the death squads in South America under Reagan? Well, that's the sort of crap that does go on with criminal Administrations and we, as Americans, need to know it's being done and we have a right to stop it! Otherwise, WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE TARGET OF THE TERRORISTS. This is exactly why the terrorists hate us, because we do secretive operations, people die or people are tortured by American hands, and this fuels the hatred towards us!! Have we had enough of the Bush warpigs yet? I have.
Well, it's official...
...not only is the Bush the worst president in the history of our nation, but he is also the biggest drunk in the country! LOL What do you want to bet Bush looked like this the night before he was to shake hand with a commie....the president of China? This could explain why the whole event was a flop and why Dick Cheney was sleeping during it! All I can say is that impeachment of both of these a**holes can't come fast enough for me.
Russ Feingold raised $282,000 last month!
It appears that Russ Feingold is gaining ground...and Americans who want change in our country are supporting Feingold's censure of the president by using their wallets! Other democrats in the House and Senate need to take notice of this because those who support a public spanking of Bush are doing well in raising money. Case closed.

Fox News can't deny it anymore...
I'm so glad I woke up this morning feeling healthy and not in a coma, because Fox News has Bush's approval ratings at 33%! Yes, 33%! Woohoo! If Fox News is reporting that number, it does make you wonder what Bush's REAL NUMBERS ARE. Usually they are at least 5-8 points higher than other news outlets or polling companies, so I would say Bush's approval ratings are hovering somewhere around 25-28%! Fox can't deny it anymore: BUSH IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION.
Bubonic Plague is back...oh boy
Okay, I know it sounds like I am making this up but I'm not. The Bubonic Plague has infected a woman in California and what frightens me most...is there is also an outbreak of the mumps in this country as well! A few years ago I put myself through night school to earn my paralegal degree and had to do a report in one of my English classes. I chose to do a report on biological weapons because I started my classes about a year after 9/11/01 and thought it would be a captivating subject. In my research, it turns out that during World War II fleas were infected with the Bubonic Plague, put in a light sack, and dropped over cities in Japan to kill people (about 400 people died of it). What I find really scary is: COULD OUR GOVERNMENT BE TESTING TO SEE IF THESE BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS ARE STILL A GOOD CHOICE TO BE USED AGAINST THE ENEMY? Oh boy. I hate to think that our government would do that, but at the same time, I believe 9/11/01 was an inside job so anything is possible with these maniacs! The woman in the article above was infected by Black Death because she had been exposed to fleas at some point. Yikes. Am I the only one who thinks this is weird that a woman in America has been infected with the Bubonic Plague?
Hmmm....maybe this is why Rove is laying low now
Truthout.org has done an article on why Karl Rove announced that he will be spending less time in the White House. According to Rove, he says he is reducing his hours there because he wants to spend more time on political strategy for the upcoming elections, but maybe there is a different reason. Hmmm....maybe indictments are heading his way? Jesus, I hope so! Won't I just jump for joy if that happens!!! We'll have to see what happens, but man, my heart is fluttering at the possibility that ole Rove might be facing indictments. When one is in a high position, it always looks better if you're facing arrest or facing indictments to be referred to by the media as "the former employee" or "the former aide to Bush", so this could be why Rove is leaving now. Woohoo!
The Liar might be picking another Liar
Rumors are circling all over the place that Tony Snow of Fox News might be the person Bush will pick to replace Scott McClellan. I find it strange that Bush would even pick someone from the media to be his voice, because if you think about it, how would the neocons have felt if Clinton chose Dan Rather back in the 1990's to be his voice? There would have been outrage! Picking Tony Snow is no different than choosing Rush Limbaugh (whom I lovingly refer to as Ass Limbo) to be the spokesperson for the pharmacutical companies for God's sake!! Let's hope the White House Press Corp doesn't cowar to Tony if he is picked. Tony is the 'spinner extraordinaire' for the Bush Warpigs and he won't change if he is standing befind the podium. Now should be the time for the Press to bring the hammer down!!!
What will the Rove Monster be doing now?
The Rove Monster has decided to give up some of his responsibilites under Bush so he can focus on the upcoming 2006 and 2008 elections. Oh boy, what do you think the Rove Monster has in store for us? I bet he'll do at least one of the following or all of them to win at all costs: 1. He'll start conspiring now with Diebold to create new and improved voting machines and will have them programmed to only count 1 out of 10 votes for the democratic candidates. 2. He'll contact the plane mechanics who work on the airplanes of our democratic senators to sabotage them (think Paul Wellstone and his story) to make it look like an accident. 3. He'll use Bush's illegal spy program to dig up information to smear democratic candidates or he'll leak classified information to the media for the same outcome (he got fired under Bush Sr. back in 1992 during his campaign for doing that, so this isn't out of his realm). 4. He'll start rounding up young republicans now to train them on how to steal elections and will strategically place them throughout the country like little robots hell-bent on getting the job done. 5. He'll create a new phone-jamming scheme. Rove will be busy for sure. He may not be as visible as much in the White House handling the day-to-day issues, but oh...he'll be around. The Rove Monster is like our CIA...you may not see them but you know when they have attacked!
According to Bill Bennett, we already are a dictatorship!
Bill Bennett is a right wing radio talk show host and just recently was signed onto CNN to do commentary. He is a very controversial man because of the things he says on air and on t.v. Well, this week was no different. Ole Bill is saying that the 'war on terror' was hurt when Pulitzer Prize winners published information about our secret prisons across the planet back along, and when they did that, Bush's secret surveillance program was exposed. Apparently, transparency is not good in a democracy! Bush tried to squash these stories to protect himself by contacting the newspapers prior to, but if I'm not mistaken, isn't that what dictators do? They control the media to protect their agenda? Bennett thinks that Bush has this right. Wow. It does make you wonder if Clinton was president today, if ole Bill would be insisting on protecting the president at all costs. I know he wouldn't be. For some reason, republicans of today feel that they have more rights than all previous Administrations combined and in their minds they feel they have earned it. Incredible. According to Bill Bennett, we are already a dictatorship and he is insisting that this is good.

Do we already have troops on the ground in Iran?
Two democratic congressmen are asking the White House that very question. A few weeks ago one of the 'reporters' (I have a hard time calling them that) on Fox News questioned on air if we are already at war with Iran. Maybe we are....the bastards. Congressmen Kucinich and DeFazio want answers and are trying to get to the bottom of it. They have written letters to the White House REMINDING the warpigs that they are not authorized to begin military operations without the consent of Congress. It's pretty bad that Congress has to resort to doing that, but then again, we aren't dealing with an ordinary or normal White House. Bush and his Cabinet conduct themselves like dictators and have for some time, but you would think that ALL congressmen/women would be outraged by all of this and would do something about it! Why no one on the Hill will stand up for our country, our Constitution, and our normal procedures is beyond me!! It's infuriating.
Scott McClellan is gone! Woohoo!
Wasn't it fun watching the love fest between Bush and Scott McClellan today during Scott's 'resignation' press conference? At one point, I expected them to embrace and then Bush to dip and kiss Scott like they were two tango lovers having their last dance together. My most favorite moment was when Scott and Bush were day dreaming about their future together back in Texas and Scott pointed out that he hopes he makes it there before Bush does! Woohoo! Gee, little nervous are they? Maybe all those lies, deceits, and distortions are gaining ground and they know it. It feels so good that Americans won't be lied to now that Scott is gone (bah hahahahahahaha....oh yeah right). The buzz around town is that Tony Snow of Fox News will take Scott's position over. Oh, that is a good choice, huh? Predictable! Going from one liar to another! It will be interesting to see who the Bush Warpigs choose to be the 'front man liar'. Note to the media: NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO START FRESH. COME ON STRONG TO WHOEVER FILLS SCOTT'S SHOES AND DON'T BACK DOWN UNTIL YOU GET THE TRUE ANSWERS!!!! AMERICANS ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO TAKE THE REINS NOW. Woohoo! Let's hope the media doesn't fail us.
Arianna Huffington's take on "freshness" in the White House
You gotta love Arianna. She tells it like it is and is always right on the money. In the above article, Arianna is pointing out that instead of the Admin rearranging the deck chairs before the ship sinks....they're painting the deck chairs. Great read. Enjoy!
June 2, 2006 = "Divine Strake"
Just to inform you, on June 2, 2006, our government will be testing a nuclear bomb in the Nevada desert. It's a new styled bunker bomb, but what is most striking is the timing of it. Hmmmm....a precursor to an attack on Iran? Because we have "End Timers" in the White House and many of us online keeping thinking that something major is going to happen on 6/6/06 (got to keep the base thinking that the Devil is upon us!), well, it makes you wonder if they'll test the bomb and then use it a few days later!!! Apparently, the test will not include nuclear material, but does it really matter? We know what happens when there is nuclear material in one. I find all of this really frightening. Bush's attitude lately seems to prove that he doesn't care what we all think because he knows what the future is going to bring to all of us. When one believes the world is going to end at some point, then one doesn't care about if the environment is clean or if one is "following the rules of the country" or whether or not we are on the right path! When one sees nothing in the future, actions taken today mean nothing. Scary. I'm not a religious person but I am spiritual and the thought of Bush and his Warpigs thinking like this leads me to believe they don't have an ounce of compassion in their souls.

Rumsfeld's style of war: "blind to the demands of the real world"
The Washington Post just released a piece a couple of hours ago about Rumsfeld's style of war and his war plan for Iraq. Read the piece if you dare. We are working towards something and we have absolute lunatics running the show. Oh boy.
Help is on the way! Bulls**t
While Dick Cheney is enjoying his $2 million dollar refund on his taxes, Americans are paying up the ying yang at the gas pump because he decided to screw Americans back in 2001 with his secret energy meetings with all of his big oil maggot friends. It's kind of interesting what is happening right now. Last year the "Iran threat" was brought up by the Administration and myself and others online immediately said that these guys are just creating a 'threat' to convince Americans that Iran should be our next target. Well, Halliburton has been in Iran for years doing business but for some reason....(hmmmmmm...they never mention that)....Halliburton decided to pack up their offices last year and moved out. Why? Well, let's see...when Bush lied to the country to take us to war in Iraq, the first thing the oil maggots in the White House did after our soldiers hit the ground was for them to capture the oil and defend it. That sounded good, huh? But what is happening is THEY ARE HOARDING THE OIL AND ARE NOT REFINING IT FOR THE WORLD'S CONSUMPTION......which is driving up the price of oil and gas. Halliburton has moved out so Bush can bomb and you can bet your sweet arse they will move right back in after WE HAVE CAPUTRED IRAN'S OIL....and Americans won't feel any relief at the pump. So, here we are today and the Bush Warpigs are talking about Iran in the same way they talked about Iraq prior to invading. The price of oil is steadily going up (it hit $72/barrel this week) and....here's where it gets interesting.....Steve Forbes on Fox News (Forbes on Fox) is saying that a war with Iran WILL BRING THE PRICE OF OIL/GAS WAY DOWN and he is acting like it is the only way. Oh.....I get it......we have to go to war with Iran to get the cost of oil/gas down but distributing the oil we already captured in Iraq won't help! Do you see where this is going? Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon but they still want us to be scared of them. If that doesn't work and doesn't get our boots on the ground, they will then bring out the "killing Iranians will bring the price of oil and gas down" card!!! In conclusion (I say that very sarcastically), we are going to war in Iran because the oil maggots know how profittable it will be and in the end...Americans will be dragged into another useless war that will end up with us paying $5.00/gallon and lots of excuses from Washington on why the price is what it is.
Bush is the "decider"...and America is hurting because of it
Bush is an ass.....a spoiled, silver-spoon-in-his-mouth ass. Today in the Rose Garden at the White House Bush held a press conference and the issue of Donald Rumsfeld resigning was brought up. Bush, being the arrogant Connecticut-born ass he is, got all hissy and told the press corps that he is the 'decider', he will decide what he decides, and if he doesn't feel like deciding, he will be the one to decide whether or not he will decide at that moment and no one is going to stop him from having that power! Oh for the love of Pete! This man is a complete lunatic! Can you imagine if Clinton stood up there and told Americans that he is the King and everyone else is shit? Wow. The English newspapers were right after the last presidential election when they stated on their front pages that 59 million Americans are stupid to elect an arrogant child as the leader of the free world, because not only is Bush an arrogant child of arrogant parents and grandparents, but he is dangerous to American's well-being. What do you think world leaders are thinking when Bush gets all worked up about a question? Do you think they are thinking that he is a gunho kind of guy and can't be trusted? Well, it's how I feel everytime I see him act like that! The bottom line is that Bush chose the war and chose Rumsfeld to run it for him. Rumsfeld has failed on all accounts because he refuses to listen to his Generals (Bush doesn't listen to him either because HE is the DECIDER....not them) which has made the war in Iraq no different than a destroyed anthill with ants out of control trying to figure out where to begin to make it right again!!!!!! People are dying over in Iraq on both sides and these idiots refuse to admit one single mistake while sitting back here in their cushy offices....forgetting that reality. Time to get the pink slips out and start with Rummy and work upwards!!!! They have failed our country, our soldiers, and our reputation.

Are liberals & democrats ready to believe this man?
Newt Gingrich has done a 180 degree turn. The same man who pointed the finger at Bill Clinton for cheating on his wife is now acting like he is sympathetic to the democrats and appearing like he can 'feel our pain'. (Just for the record, Newt was also cheating on his wife at the same time he was pointing the finger at Clinton, but what made his cheating worse than Clintons was that Newt's wife was sick with cancer and while she was going through her sickness, he was spending tons of time with the other woman! Neither men were right to cheat on their wives...but come on...) I don't trust Newt Gingrich and I never will either. What he says in the article above about the current republicans I agree with, but I get the feeling that he is saying it because he is hiding something himself. He may not be cheating this time around and pointing fingers at democrats but he is thinking of running for the presidency in 2008 and I can guarantee you he will create political ads that show him "taking a stand for the American people" by using these moments! I'm not buying his crap. I didn't like the man he was back in the 1990's and I sure as heck can't trust the man now when he says, "I feel your pain", because I don't think he does and I don't think he cares to either. He's just like the rest of republicans of today: can't be trusted.
Shake up at the White House? Yeah right....when pigs fly
Bush has given permission to Josh Bolten to make necessary changes to the staff as he sees fit. Uh huh. As you read the article above, take note that there won't be a major shake up (maids/servants could quit for better pay though), because Josh is telling the staff that if they are thinking of leaving at some point to do it now! What? Is that leadership? Asking this staff to leave on their own is like trying to remove the glue from a glass jar after the label has been taken off! It's not likely to happen. To me, it's almost like Bolten and Bush are instilling a little fear in the staff and no one dares to make the first move forward. We'll have to see what happens but I think the whole Cabinet needs to be replaced starting with Donald Rumsfeld. Though I have lost a ton of respect for Colin Powell because he went along with the Iraq war even though he was vocally against it in 2002/2003, I think at this point he would do a much better job than what Donald Rumsfeld has done! It is so frustrating all the arrogance within this Administration and I think Colin Powell with his military and war experience could bring sanity and common sense back to the picture. It's definately needed at this point! Iraq is a mess and now the 'End Timers' are thinking about dropping a bomb on Iran. The military is not behind this idea and wouldn't feel too comfortable expressing that to Rummy for fear of losing their jobs or rankings. Powell, on the otherhand, would have the respect from the military and would be more open to those under him. That's my take on it. I think we can do better from Rummy on up.

Oh great....USA's war plans are being bought in Afghanistan
Rumsfeld can't understand why all of these retired Generals are calling for his resignation! It's being learned today that some of our computers that were stolen in Afghanistan are now being sold to the local people. Great....Osama and the Taliban have full access to some of our secret war plans. And what is being done about it? Apparently nothing. Rummy, Bush, and Cheney are criminals and should be treated as such!!!

Bush lied about the biolabs too! Impeach the bastard!
Amazing. Here we are three years after Bush illegally invaded Iraq on nothing but lies and we are finding out today that back in 2003 for a whole year Bush and his Cabal lied to the American people by stating that the two trailers found in Iraq were MOBILE BIOLABS. They weren't mobile biolabs and the Intelligence community had evidence at the time that proved it yet Bush was touting it every chance he got!! Even after the Intelligence community told him they were not biolabs...he still had the gall to lie his ass off about it to the American people. The Republican Mafia in the Congress had better get their fingers out of their asses and start holding this pack of criminals accountable, because Americans are tired of all of this. If lying about a blow job was considered immoral and disgraceful by the Republican Mafia back in the 1990's, then there is something really wrong with them now for not standing up for the Constitution, for the American people, and for the safety of our well-being because we have madmen running the show right now in Washington DC. Either impeach him, have him arrested, or just demand for him and his cabinet to resign! Americans do not trust them anymore........get rid of them. I, as well as others, want my country back.

Have we had enough?
Bush is head of the most corrupt, incompetent, lying, deceitful, pack of thieves our country has ever witnessed. If he and the rest of the Republican Mafia had had a plan in the beginning, there would not be a civil war in Iraq, but they didn't have one. The only plan they had was to lie to the American people for their reason to go in, to forge documents to back up their lie, and to get into Iraq at any cost so their corporate whores could receive their corporate welfare checks for years on end. The corporate whores have overcharged our government and they have drained our treasury. That was the plan though. Yup, get the boots on the ground, head straight to the center of the country (Baghdad) to purposely make it difficult to get out. War is a rackett, agree? Wealthy men using our soldiers to help them steal our money and the money of the Iraqis. Money, greed, and power is the name of the game with these folks. Do they care about our soldiers? Are you kidding!!!! First, they rubber stamped their death certificates and now we are finding out that a good many of them are coming home as cargo on commercial airlines! Those that come home with their hearts still beating are being charged for their body armour, charged for their injuries while on the battlefield, and in some cases, charged for the damage to the humvee they were in because the truck went off the road and wasn't damaged because of fighting this illegal, financial transaction of a war! Does that sound like this Admin is grateful for them for helping them line the pockets of their corrupt friends? It doesn't to me. Now Bush is thinking about dropping nuclear bombs on Iran, why? Oil. They have lots there. Will dropping a bomb on Iran make the Iranians love us and will the Muslims across the Middle East jump for joy and then say, "We want to be Americans! Yeah for the nuclear bomb!". Nope. When the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, the Japanese did not surrender but I can assure you they were thinking, "We will never forget". Only when the 2nd atomic bomb was dropped did they surrender! The world is watching what Bush and his Warpigs are going to do and I can guarantee you the world will not forget! If the Iranians don't surrender and we have to put boots on the ground they'll be exposed to radiation. But hey, to Bush and his Republican Mafia, that's okay, because THEY'RE NOT BEING EXPOSED TO IT so what's the big deal they'll say. I'm voting for the democrat candidate in 2006 because we need REAL LEADERSHIP. These guys hate us and feel that they are working against us and not for us. Have you had enough? I have.

John Kerry is correct and Tracey Schmitt of the RNC can kiss my ass!
I have to admit after the 2004 presidential election I was disappointed in John Kerry for not demanding all votes to be counted. There have been times since then too where I wonder about him, but John Kerry is starting to get back on track. He's starting to understand what Bush and his Warpigs are doing in Washington and how it is affecting us all by now speaking truth to power! But of course, the Republican National Committee continues to lambaste him instead of putting out facts and information that proves what Bush is doing is great for our country! Here is a recent article from the New York Times: Kerry Sharply Criticizes Bush on Several Fronts By Patrick Healy The New York
Times
Bush administration yesterday, comparing it to the faltering government in Iraq and equating its war strategy with its planning for Hurricane Katrina, while also invoking Jesus as he criticized federal Medicaid
policy. Mr. Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat and his
party's nominee for president in 2004, has been on a political and media blitz as he considers running for the White House again in 2008. In an Op-Ed article in The New York Times on Wednesday, Mr. Kerry proposed telling Iraqi leaders to form a unity government by May 15 or the United States military would withdraw. He spoke by telephone yesterday to a political conference in New York City that was organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton, his friend from when they both ran for president in 2004. Mr. Kerry, who voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq, repeated his deadline proposal and spoke of civil war there as a certainty that will be worse with no effective government. Iraq served as a thematic framework for the speech, which challenged the administration's ability to manage crises on domestic and international fronts. "The Bush
administration is wondering when Iraq will have a functioning government. I want to know when we're going to have a functioning government," Mr. Kerry said, according to a transcript of his remarks. Mr. Kerry, who as sometimes criticized as stiff and dour during the 2004 campaign, got several laughs, Mr. Sharpton said. At one point, Mr. Kerry, who has had his verbose moments, offered "a little 10-point plan" in response to complaints that neither Democrats nor Republicans have an agenda for the nation. "Tell the truth. Fire the incompetents. Find Osama bin Laden and secure our ports and our homeland. Bring our troops home from Iraq. Obey the law and protect our civil rights," Mr. Kerry said in ticking off his list, which also included supporting health care, education, lobbying reform and alternatives to oil, as well as reducing the deficit. A Roman Catholic who has struggled at times to talk about his own faith, Mr. Kerry also told the group that he believed "deeply in my faith" and that the Koran, the Torah, the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles had influenced a social conscience that he exercised in politics. "I will tell you, nowhere in there, nowhere, not in one page, not in one phrase uttered and reported by the Lord Jesus Christ, can you find anything that suggests that there is a virtue in cutting children from Medicaid and taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich," Mr. Kerry said. A spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, which skewered Mr. Kerry's speeches relentlessly during 2004, responded with a verbal shrug yesterday. "John Kerry deserves credit for continuing to take himself so seriously, despite the fact that no one else does," said the spokeswoman, Tracey Schmitt.

What a lying liar George W. Bush is!!! Impeach the bastard.
To: George Bush,
Due to the recent revelations by disgraced aide to Dick Cheney, L. "Scooter" Libby, that George Bush authorized the leak of CIA Valerie Plame's name to reporters, thus by compromising her safety, the safety of many Americans working undercover and reinforcing the lie that Saddam had WMD, the leadership and members of Gold Star Families for Peace call for the resignation of George Bush and Dick Cheney.
We have paid dearly and permanently for the lies of this administration. The "yellow cake uranium" lie was a lie of historic and nefarious proportions that led to the deaths of our loved ones in Iraq and the devastation of an innocent country and the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent citizens of Iraq.
George Bush said that the person who leaked the information would be "dealt with," and Scotty McClellan reiterated this position at a later press conference.
So, George, considering that this is just one of the many lies you told to justify the illegal and immoral occupation of iraq, the members of GSFP are calling on you to finally do the honorable thing and deal with yourself and resign and we also call for the resignation of anyone else in your administration who lied to America, our families, and the world about the reasons for killing our dear loved ones.
Our respect and best wishes also go out to the Plame/Wilson family for what they have also endured for doing the right thing to try and expose the lies to stop this regime's headlong rush to disaster in Iraq and by the attacks on their family by our own government.

Homeland Pervertity...a right wing playground
Incredible. We find out today that late last night a Department of Homeland Security official has been arrested for using his work computer to send pictures of his naked body to a 14 year old girl, which was actually an undercover agent, and to list out all the graphic things he wants to do to her, as well as, list out all the things he wants her to do to him. What the hell is going on at the Homeland Security!!! These people are supposed to be protecting our homeland....not molesting the homeland by using their status and our computers that we bought for them to go after young children! Now, there is no way in hell that Bush, when he decided to make Homeland Security the overseer of our borders, coastlines, and the transportation sect, would hire democrats for these posts. He would never hire a democrat for a position like that because he wants to maintain that it is only repukes who can guard us. (Idiot!) So, as usual, the pervert is a republican. Yup, a republican. It's not surprising. We never hear people saying, "the guy who hugs the trees" or "the woman who goes to peace rallies" as being the person who is committing autrocities against children! Never! It's a republican thang to act this way towards the innocence of this country. It makes me want to vomit until I'm blue in the face. Remember when NBC did the investigative report on how easy it is to lure perverts to your house via the computer? Well, one of the men that came to the house in the report also worked for Homeland Security. Now we know what Homeland Security was doing before, during, and after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast! Michael Brown as we all know was sending emails to employees and talking about his clothes, but the big question is...what the hell was Michael Chertoff doing? Knowing what we know now about Homeland Pervertity.....he was probably busy trying to lure an 11 year old boy to his office and couldn't be distracted by 'some hurricane' hitting down south! Oh for the love of the Spaghetti Monster....if it is found that Skeletor Chertoff was jaking off in his office while people in the Katrina ravaged areas were drowning in their attics, I'm going to personally hit the next neocon I see!!!!

The Hammer is now...well...a toilet plunger
Tom Delay will be leaving us in November! Woohoo! Oh for the love of the Spaghetti Monster....this is the best news I've heard in a long time! Oh Tom.....feeling calm now with your decision, huh? Is that what you said this morning? You made it sound like your decision was to protect your fellow Texans in November, but really, we all know that the people who used to work for you are now turning against you and you will be going to jail! So, 'calm' my arse! Only criminals say they've found their center when they are either facing loads of jail time or are facing the death penalty. And why are you so joyful about your decision to resign? To spend more time with your family? Bah hahahahahaha....oh yeah right. You're "joyful" because you don't want to give the impression that you are scared sh*tless of facing 'Bruce'...your new cell mate! It's kind of like your mugshot....oh yes....you were smiling in it, but we all know that if no one in the country knew who the hell you were.....YOU WOULD HAVE HAD THAT SCARED SH*TLESS LOOK ON YOUR FACE INSTEAD! You're a fraud and you know that, don't you Hammer? So, what will Americans call you now? Toilet plunger? It seems to fit well since over the years all you've done in your political career is suck all the sh*tty criminals into our Capitol and you act like it is no big deal that sh*t is running down the side of the tank for others to clean up! Americans, who love our system of government and who love our country, are glad the you are leaving. You can't leave fast enough for us! Take your sh*t with you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye!!!!

I hear you loud and clear Cindy!
If after reading Cindy Sheehan's remembrance letter to her son linked above, you aren't tearful or crying, then you are not able to feel compassion towards yourself and other human beings. Only a mother understands how it feels or how it would feel to lose a child. Only a mother remembers the smell of her child, the way her child's skin feels, understands the little person inside her child, and knows in an instant how her child is feeling whether it is happiness or sadness. Only a mother would remember her child's voice and never forget it. Cindy Sheehan is in pain....emotional pain. As a mother myself, I can feel her anguish and as I read her words I wished I could just embrace her and tell her that it's going to be alright. I wish I could. I'm sure there are times when she would just love to run down the street, crying with her arms outreached in front of her, and screaming as she went to vent her frustrations and to scream to her God to make it better. We all go about our lives while Cindy is in pain over Casey. I almost feel guilty about it because I have my twelve year old son to hug and to hold everyday and every night, but Cindy does not. I feel her outrage, her anguish, and her pain and agree with everything she says about this war and future wars. I want her to know that her words are not falling on deaf ears...well...they're not falling on true compassionate American ears. The deaf ears are in Washington though, aren't they? Bush and his Warpigs are flitting around our nation and the globe and acting like everyone is wrong except for them and acting like they can't understand why no one listens their ideologies. Well, no one is listening to them because they're liars. I don't know anyone that would continue to believe liars in their own personal lives or would want to continue to be around them anymore! No one is listening to them because they chose war and faked the evidence to start a war. No one is listening to them because they're greedy sons of bitches. No one is listening to them except for the dye-in-the-wool idiots who think the enemy is anyone that doesn't agree with their Master's plan. Cindy is done listening to them and all she wants is an answer to one question: What noble cause did her son die for? If this question didn't have a sinister answer, it would have been answered by Bush and his Warpigs the minute she asked it. We all know why Bush and his Warpigs haven't answered it and will never answer it. We all know. I hope they all rot in hell and I hope they don't forget Cindy's voice at the end of their lives. I know I won't. I hope they're haunted by it.
Is the band leader going to be fired? Who knows.
Rumor has it that Scott McClellan could be Bush's second 'shake up' victim and Josh Bolten is the one who will do it. Interesting....as the 'Titanic' is sinking it makes sense to rearrange the deck chairs (said by Chuck Schumer recently) by first hiring Josh Bolten, who has pictures of Bush's hands all over his office to replace another crony, and secondly, by firing McClellan who would have basically been the band leader on the ship who was playing the last song instructed by the Captain. Okay, I'm getting this sneaking suspicion that Josh Bolten will next fire the cooks who work for Bush. Oh yeah, that ought to teach his people to not be so corrupt and criminal and will definately get his Christian base yelling "Hallelujah"!!!!! They really think we're that stupid don't they? If Bush resigned today, all Americans would come out of their homes and cheer! Even republicans would do that because for the last 6 years they've had to continually stand up for the most criminal, treasonist, Administration ever in the history of our nation! They would be relieved if Bush and his cronies resigned and left the country. I know I would. Firing McClellan is firing the person who is just passing on the lies of the Admin. Firing the Admin is the answer!! The problem is, the guy who has pictures of Bush's hands all over his office, would never do that. Dammit.
I'm proud of my Italian flag bumper sticker on my car
There was a time in this country when people could display any flag they wanted and no one would care. There was a time in this country that people could put a hundred bumper stickers on their car and no one would care. There was a time in this country when people could put anti-war stickers on their car, on their person, on their front lawns, and on their house and no one would care. There was a time in this country when people had a voice but no one seems to care that those days are gone. If you're mad at the Mexicans for flying their flag THEN TAKE YOUR SWEDISH, YOUR CANADIAN, YOUR IRISH, YOUR ITALIAN, YOUR CHINESE, YOUR FRENCH flags, bumper stickers, and your clothes that have it on it and throw them away! If you can live with that, then you are not a TRUE AMERICAN.....a descendent of immigrants. I agree with the school. If the students are going to take the American flag and use it as a weapon against people who are holding up a stick with a rectangled piece of fabric on it, THEN THEY JUST LOST THEIR RIGHT BECAUSE THEY'RE VIOLENT. It's either all flags or no flags. Get it? Do a history check on our own flag and you will note that our flag's colors and some of the design was copied from a British company called the East India Company for God's sake!!!!!!! Get over it!!!! BUSH HAS DIVIDED THIS COUNTRY SO MUCH THAT I DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT ANYMORE! HE'S IN MEXICO PANDERING TO THE PRESIDENT FOR FUTURE EMPLOYEES SO HIS CORPORATE WHORES CAN PROFIT AND AMERICANS ARE BACK HOME USING OUR FLAG AS A WEAPON. Incredible. I'm spitting mad. Greedy corporate whores are the problem. There was a time in this country when the Italians were almost driven out because of their Mafioso. Our country survived, didn't it? I realize that some won't agree with me and that's fine. Please post a comment if you differ.
Oh great, the GAO is under investigation now!
When Bush was selected to the presidency by the right wing majority US Supreme Court, I knew our nation was in trouble. Why? Well, the fact that the US Supreme Court didn't insist on the voice of the people (recount every single solitary vote) to be heard and felt that they had the power and we didn't, I knew at that time that our laws and our rights were in jeapordy. I also felt that having a Bush oil maggot, who was a well known corporate failure in his own right, would give the green light to his corporate buddies to steal, lie, and cheat. We saw what happened to Enron but Americans turned their heads and told Martha Stewart that she was evil for "stealing" $50,000! What has happened under Bush is treasonous. The Administrative level of government has become his battle ground for changing and enforcing the laws to cater to his corporate whores. Yup, corporate welfare checks have flourished under him.....but receive an actual welfare check.......you will be deamed to be the problem of this country! The article above talks about how even the Government Accountability Office is participating in Bush fraud! Great, an organization once looked upon as being independent of the person's ideology in the White House, has now been accussed of doing what Bush and his thugs have been doing since the illegal picking of him for the presidency originally!!! Incredible. How can our country stay a democracy when we have no one associated with this Administration (or the Admin itself) who follows the laws of the land? How can we trust any of it? Any report that comes out of the EPA is found to be ludicrous and incorrect, but no one seems to care. We're being lied to and deceived by people who could care less that our water is green, our fish are dying, our weather is changing for the worse, and even the GAO is joining in on it! Incredible. Having corporate whores who want global domination over all people (want to make us slaves to a few handpicked corporate giants) is an abomination to all of us.
GOP = God's Own Party? Oh for the love of God...
Okay, I'm only going to say this once! GOP stands for Got Our Problems. If the GOP were to lose the "God thing" their party would go back to being the party that the planet didn't fear! God does not speak to Bush and tell him that he needs to bomb the crap out of a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. He wouldn't do that. He certainly wouldn't advice: if Texas attacks Mississippi.......then attack New Hampshire which is what he did with Iraq! 90% of our country is religious and/or spiritual. Only 10% don't believe in a 'higher power' and like all of us, go through their days content that they are doing the right thing to the rest of the human population. We're born to love. We're humans. If the GOP feels that God only speaks to them and because of that they need to rule the planet for the love of God, then please explain to me why it is that the Muslims feel the same way! Same God or different God? Is God a flip flopper? Does He change His mind every day on who should be in control or does He feel that all people on the planet are good in his eyes? I don't know the answer, but what I do know, is that the Earth is just a miniscule speck in our Universe and what is happening on our planet right now (wars, poverty, threat of nuclear holocaust) DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE WE ARE NOTHING compared to it, but what I would love to see is ALL people going through life understanding that fact and understanding that it's the only planet we have to live on and we can be nice to all things on it.........so it should be respected and not viled. The view and arrogance of the Bush Christians is killing our nation and our planet. The GOP has it's problems and they need to fix them. God isn't going to help them with that!!! If they love God like they say, then they need to respect the planet. Case closed. I'm not going to say it again. If God is real and He is looking down on us right now, you now He's got to be bulls**t.
Iran is making threats and Bush is vacationing like a madman!
Iran is threatening the world with 'fire' that if Bush and his warpigs strike their country preemptively, then they, along with their backers (Russia, China, and Hezbollah) will react and attack. Great. So, what is our leader doing about this? Well, let's just say he's been spending the week in white linen clothing, inhaling Margaritas, and begging Vincente Fox to keep sending those citizens of his over the border because profits are to be made by his corporate whores!!! Great, again. What is really pissing me off are the words "suspicious of" that Bush has used since he was given the presidency in 2001. These two words have gotten our country into a lot of trouble. Prior presidents didn't like to react using those words, but not Bush. He uses it frequently. He suspected Iraq, he suspects Iran, and he suspects that he can do whatever he wants and he suspects that our country's Constitution gives him those rights too. We all suspect that Iran is creating wmd, as well as North Korea, but what Bush is forgetting is that these countries have friends with powerful weapons (one has a powerful economy too) and can do us in! He doesn't seem to care about it though. Nope. He just continues to vacation and pander to those that are his base (including Fox in Mexico) and could care less that he is putting our country in jeapordy. I can't relate to him. I never have and never will, but as humans, you would think that he would at least have some common sense and do the right thing. He doesn't. I, again, will blame him for any attack on our nation. 9/11/01, I blame him for that too. This Iran conflict that Bush is creating out of suspicion will make 9/11 look an M80 going off in a sand pit!!!

Atrocities in our name is not making us safer!!!
When Jill Carroll was released recently by her captors, the Revenge Brigade, in Iraq, I was very surprised (and pleased) that Jill was not tortured, was well cared for, and was treated like a human being. But, didn't it surprise you that a group of men calling themselves the Revenge Brigade would treat her so good? You would expect them to be doing worse than what Americans have done with Iraqis and other Arab prisoners in our custody, but it didn't happen. I got to thinking that Americans during a time of war were once like that too. Even though we labeled them the enemy in our possession, we had the Geneva Convention as our "Bible" and would abide by it. Well guess what? What is being done in OUR NAME now is atrocious. Josh Key is US soldier now living in exile in Canada because he faces being courtmartialed by our military BECAUSE HE IS SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE ATROCITIES OF WHAT OUR SOLDIERS ARE--really--DOING IN IRAQ. The article is linked above. After reading the sentence that talks about our soldiers kicking the head of an Iraqi man like a football, I bet you will agree with me that OUR COUNTRY IS NO BETTER THAN THE TERRORISTS! I cannot believe that this is going on in our name and that NO ONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE OR THE PENTAGON SEES WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH THIS! Remember the photos from Vietnam that showed piles of dead women and children (some were raped and bleeding in the crotch....could have been shot in that area too...who knows) that our soldiers murdered after they burnt and pillaged their village? Shameful. It was shameful then and it is still shameful now that our current soldiers are having a free for all while their Commanders just sit back and count their stolen loot! Spit. Spit. Spit.
