Chemicals in pregnant women identified
Published: Jan. 14, 2011 at 7:54 PM

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Almost all U.S. pregnant women carry dozens of chemicals from non-stick cookware, food or personal-care items -- some banned from the 1970s, researchers say.

Lead author Tracey Woodruff of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues analyzed data for 163 chemicals and found 43 of the chemicals were found in more than 99 percent of pregnant women.

The researchers detected polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides, perfluorinated compounds, phenols, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and perchlorate in 99 percent to 100 percent of pregnant women.

Bisphenol A, a chemical that makes plastic hard and clear and also found in epoxy resins that are used to line the inside of metal food and beverage cans, was identified in 96 percent of the women studied.

Prenatal exposure to BPA has been linked to affecting brain development and increasing susceptibility to cancer later in life, the researchers say.

"It was surprising and concerning to find so many chemicals in pregnant women without fully knowing the implications for pregnancy," Woodruff says in a statement.

"Several of these chemicals in pregnant women were at the same concentrations that have been associated with negative effects in children from other studie

The findings are published in Environmental Health Perspectives.

start with this: Did you know you can cause a member of Congress to vote the way You want? It takes: only 100 sincere letters --to a Senator, to Member of House. So: find 9 friends --ask each to find nine friends until, tada~ 100 people --who each promise to write a letter to their rep--

-Outlaw: "non-stick" cookware --ALL of it recalled within 60 days; no further production; all cookware -tools, etc. produced with "non-stick" toxins: destroyed safely --without allowing ANY into landfills -groundwater -ocean.

-Demand: ALL chemicals produced since 1970 - onward --PROVEN safe for environment --creatures -humans --ZERO 'side' affects of cancer-causing chemicals Before allowed to continue production, sale --before introduced into market --with FDA and EPA required oversight.

Common bone drugs linked to esophageal cancer risk

2010-09-02T22:29:00.000-07:00

By Kate Kelland

LONDON Thu Sep 2, 2010 7:09pm EDT

LONDON (Reuters) - People who take a commonly used class of osteoporosis drugs called bisphosphonates for more than five years may be doubling their risk of developing cancer of the gullet or esophagus, a British study found on Friday.

Researchers who conducted the work said the results were worrying, but should not prompt doctors or patients to immediately change their practice on bisphosphonates, which are prescribed mainly to older people to help strengthen weak bones.

"We have to be concerned, but this is the first large study with long-term follow up that has found this effect, and it is just one observational study," said Jane Green of Oxford University's Cancer Epidemiology Unit, whose research was published in the British Medical Journal.

"Also, because esophageal cancer is uncommon, even a doubled risk is still a low risk," she said in a telephone interview.

Bisphosphonates are a class of drug designed to help prevent bone fractures and offset bone weakness associated with menopause and with osteoporosis. They include Merck & Co's Fosamax, Roche's Boniva, Novartis's Reclast and Warner Chilcott's Actonel.

Green and colleagues from Britain's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) analyzed data from the UK General Practice Research database on men and women aged over 40 who had either esophageal cancer, stomach cancer or colorectal cancer diagnosed between 1995 and 2005.

They found that people with 10 or more prescriptions for bisphosphonates, or with prescriptions over about five years, had nearly double the risk of esophageal cancer compared with people with no bisphosphonate prescriptions.

"In Europe and North America, the incidence of esophageal cancer at age 60-79 is typically 1 per 1,000 population over five years, and this is estimated to increase to about 2 per 1,000 with five years' use of oral bisphosphonates," they wrote in a report of their findings.

In people who had one or more previous prescriptions for oral bisphosphonates, the risk of developing of esophageal cancer was 30 percent higher than in those who had never taken the drugs. The researchers found no links between bisphosphonate prescriptions and stomach or bowel cancer.

Green noted that a previous study using the same UK database had found no link between bisphosphonates and esophageal cancer, but said her research had tracked patients for almost twice as long. She also said that with populations aging, bone diseases such as osteoporosis were becoming more common, leading to higher levels of bisphosphonate use.

"It's important to see our findings as part of a wider picture. These are very commonly prescribed drugs and we don't have enough information about the long-term risks and benefits."

In a commentary on the study, Diane Wysowski of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said "the possibility of adverse effects on the esophagus should prompt doctors who prescribe these drugs to consider risks versus benefits."

She also suggested doctors "tell patients to report difficulty in swallowing and throat, chest, or digestive discomfort so that they can be promptly evaluated and possibly advised to discontinue the drug."

--"Possibly" discontinue? --Or: you could just keep on keep'n on Listening to actress Sally Fields --flog Boniva for a living --shovel toxin and loose your throat --and your body...your choice.

How to Get Cancer: About This Blog

2009-07-13T18:01:00.000-07:00

After questioning ordinary people, hundreds, about what they know, believe about Health, Western medicine, their own doctor: my intellectual rage compelled me to speak out, up. --Inform against the Constant PR done by big pharma and chemical industry behind the scene, to get people to 'go along' with things harmful to Health, and away from Nature -natural Organic life -practices.

If it matters
I am the child of a once-brilliant world-known physician. I was born while he attended Stanford University medical school; grew up watching him study, test subject for each new tool he got; go through internship, residency, private practice, teaching, surgery who, I am very sorry, died suddenly, a few years ago. I started this site after years of considering, debating, looking at the way medicine is practiced in the West. Specifically: How disease is "managed" but not Cured.

Where have I been
Many things interest me, and when I'm 'grabbed' I learn all I can. I started this site five years ago, then stopped writing. Why did I stop?

I was Stunned by what no-longer supreme court did: "judges" became activists, based on NO Law, decided who would be the president, eight years ago.

The 'selectee': Oval Office Occupant, I call him the Thug (I don't use his name; or title, since he ascended to office illegally both times), realized my worst fears: though he swore otherwise, he began to Ignore the Constitution and he, mostly, shredded Rights granted in the Bill of our Rights delivered to the King of England and new America/Americans.

The Rumblings about invading Iraq began almost immediately after he took the office. I did deep research and learned: there were NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION in Iraq; Iraqis couldn't invade or harm this country. With trepidation: I wrote a letter to the Thug. I asked, pleaded, begged Oval Office Occupant: NOT to invade/start a war with Iraq.

My reward?
He did not reply, nobody did. Instead: I got, I believe, put on some kind of Watch list. I confess: it freaked me. I stopped writing.

Fresh Start
New year, new president. Space/me: still on a Watch List? Dunno, Tired of caring. Some weeks ago, wanting to update, I removed some items from Sidebar and *poof* theme went screwy, lol, and stopped functioning --evil spirits, Watchers??? lol. Undeterred, I 'freshened'/updated theme (technically), and added some new gadgets.

So: I begin again.

Premise of this site:
a.) Chemicals, Man-made, inserted into every part of our life, allowed into market-place without True oversight or PROOF that a chemical is SAFE for humans, creatures, planet --environment.

b.) After Man-made things cause harm: Western Medicine does not Cure resultant disease, but merely treats the Symptoms of disease. --Nobody is going to Get Healthy by treating Symptoms, 'fallout' of disease, ever.

c.) Nature does not make mistakes: human body was meant to live in Harmony WITH nature --eating, using, living with what Nature provides; the farther away from nature, the more harm, destruction --disharmony.

All because of: politics, policies, politicians of the Western 'modern' world.

So what do You think:
Theme?
Google has enabled many new designs (whew, finally!) and I will try out some, then put up a poll to ask your opinion. Let me know.

Sidebar?
Google now let's individuals create and put up/enable all kinds of widgets on their site (very cool); I've added some new things I found; something else I should add/you want to see? --Don't like the colors --font too small? Do you want to read in a Reader? Which one? Ideas? Say so!

This site
Meant to inform; protest against stupidity that causes medical and political Establishment to do Counter-intuitive un-healthy things; Empower You to be In Charge of your health; present the politics of cancer --and the remedies for all of it. A votre sante.

I'm back. Your feedback, thoughts Welcome: Leave Comments.

Addendum: I'm not sure, at the moment, what happened to all the pages I've written over the years, but I'll hunt down to re-enable.

To Chinese spammers: we're onto you --Get a life, go find something Useful to do.

Cancer: "Cure" Fund Raiser

2008-09-05T23:15:00.000-07:00

Tonight the mega-corporations that quash news --drip emotion all over irrelevant stuff thrown up during "news" --fail to examine, investigate, even report the NEWS that actually matters --to you/your life, the country: decided to throw a bash --give up some of your airwaves/their cash-cow time to: hold a 'bake' sale --to raise cash --for cancer.

A bunch of doctors --want the cash, who wouldn't. What will they Do with Cash they get from the 'gimme more' marathon? Invent cures? Nope. If they did that: they would have to find a new way to earn a living. Yuk on that.

Did you participate? --Imagine a "cure" in your lifetime?

Cure?
THINK --about the Billions "American Cancer Society" et al, have hauled in --over multi-decades. What have they done with the dough?

Actual Cancer "cure"?
Stop using Man-made personal care products. ~TaDa.
--No perfume -cologne -after-shave, nothing that has scent;
-no "propyl glycol" --body way wasn't designed to tolerate petroleum
-If it slathers, moisturizes, "creams" any part of the body: it's Worthless --to you, but
very good for the doc/hospital/pharm --medical biz.
Don't think so? Humans are humans...Ask yourself: why doesn't Africa --Europe --South America have the SAME cancer rates as the US?

The only thing the multi-network "fund"-raiser will cure: the heaviness of your wallet.

Your choice.

Cervical Cancer "Vaccine" --Scam?

2008-08-21T22:50:00.000-07:00

"Vaccine": Scam?
One of the best marketing campaigns ever invented: 'Keep Your Daughter from Cervical Cancer" --vaccinate --pronto.' Excuuuse me....?

The lab rats that came up with the so-called vaccine to counter cervical cancer: picked the disease, I suspect, because marketing for the drug was so slice-of-cake easy.

This post could have been written
--when the 'trials' were going --ignorant school board members were spammed --ad campaign hit the media/our airwaves used --for free, to sell a corporation's product. Now: as good as any other time, while reports roll in ---how useless the 'wonder' drug....

Playing on fear
Giant pharma picked a disease and NO doubt, the plan to sell it and worked it: you want to protect/prevent your daughter from getting cervical cancer? Okey-dokey: shoot her up with this 'vaccine' we made. Oh, gosh: warts --STDs --lesions --fainted --died? Oops, sorry. Uh, Proof --high-profit margin drug will prevent the disease --from ALL the cervical cancer viruses? --All the side effects? Hmm....

Giant pharma: used their sales force --to prey on ignorant members of school boards, on parents, on willing doctors, on FDA...who all jumped on the pitch wagon.

But, Hmm, how does a daughter get cervical cancer?

How: cancer of the cervix? Disease transmitted: via a penis, during intercourse. No penis: cure --no virus?

Sticks and Stones...
Would it perhaps, be useful to educate girls: NOT to accommodate the aggressive penis-holder? --NOT to care so much about being called names/be "popular"/fit "in" --NOT to be passive passenger of one's life --NOT to be 'polite'/NOT go along to get along --demand girls be as aggressive in looking out for well-being of their health, their body --as boys are in looking for sexual gratification? Hmm....

Where, Precisely, is the Evidence that said vaccine: WILL actually prevent all cervical cancers --justifies the consequences and the expense --and the message: only GIRLS should be vaccinated?

Ah, the politics of big pharma, enabled by policies and politicians --and lobbyists --and small ignorant/un-informed minds --and possibly the 'bought' medical establishment, which encourages such vaccine?

So-called "conservatives"
object to the vaccine: on the grounds giving it to girls will enable/encourage sexual activity. Crap. How about respect: Give girls ALL the facts. Empower girls: to USE the brain they were given, to decide for themselves.

Or, duh: just Exactly WHERE is the vaccine/drug/remedy for the disease CARRIER, instead of only the Recipient? WHY is big pharma even making a drug which supposedly prevents the Consequences of getting a penis inserted --but NOT a drug for the penis-holder?

When the penis-user is routinely instructed
--educated --INFORMED of the damage inflicted as a result of repeated insertion --and the consequences --After boys are instructed to refrain from inflicting disease --on girls they are both too young to make life-long commitments with, Then the discussion might reasonably begin: what to do about remedy for resultant disease --but Not before.

Until that day: parents, school board members, politicians, FDA should NOT be looking to engorge big pharma's bottom line --on a vaccine --of unknown long-term consequences --on only HALF of the equation, Right-wing or left-wing.

Otherwise THAT is the prescription: how to get cancer --without remedy, just politics.

Who Should Be President?

2008-01-02T03:02:00.000-08:00

I am tired, worn out.

I have been watching the current administration --ever since The Looser went to court, convinced nine people they should pick him, and they re-paid those who gave them jobs by choosing The Looser of the 2000 election.

Nine people stopped the clock --they started, to re-count ballots, then made their choice --of who would occupy the Oval Office --over the objection, ignoring majority of voters.

The nine didn't care --that ballots were put in the trash --long-time voters were removed from voting rolls --polling places moved to undisclosed locations --voters were disenfranchised, disrespected.

I have watched --members of Republican Party, in the Executive and the Legislative branch, betray the principles of their Party. --Watched them create war, division, disharmony, disappearing middle-class, fear, loathing --massive debt.

Republican Party members: take away rights granted in the Bill of Rights --silence librarians --imprison people without evidence --given Nation's land, minerals, water, assets --to the connected --to their friends.

For the first time in over 800 hundred years: they took the Right of humans to petition Our government for release from prison. The Right of habeas corpus: established by the Magna Carta in England in 1215 --copied by nearly every country in the world. But the United States of America --has gone backwards. --Stripped rights we were granted in the Constitution, in the Bill of Rights, claiming it was for 'our protection.'

"Those who would trade Liberty for Security: deserve neither"
Benjamin Franklin

Current administration: doesn't care. They have used Fear --to get what they want --reward friends with the Public's money --alter basic Freedoms --change laws --make America the most despised country on the earth.

--A right-winger, who actually used a religion --dragged it into federal government --given it Public's money--for eight long years. Should we now choose an extremist --on the left --with a different religion?

Nope.

I am exhausted. I want Real Change. --Not a person who is PART of the Legislative branch. We need someone with Executive experience --who knows how to Lead, not a follower who is part of a crowd.

The Best indicator of the future: the past. I don't want clever words describing a rosy future that will Somehow appear. --I want to Look at a record --that shows: Been there, Done that.

I'm exhausted, want to rest --knowing the person has the judgement --maturity --experience to solve problems --and already Proven it, not promises and pretty words about the future.

I want a Democrat in the White House. --A member of the Democratic Party will already be refreshing change.
--Who has shown they can lead, not tells me they will.

--Knows How: balance a budget, Done it, not tells me vague words about 'figuring it out later.'

--Knows How to work with the regular people who already run government everyday --the heads of nations --the diplomats --the difficult and those who seek favors.

--NOT a newbie, who will learn on-the-job, but proven skills, experience, knowledge, ability. Would You want the surgeon who has never done the operation?

How about we choose a person: who Has respect --genuine regard --for all Americans, those of other countries --the press --Congress members --intelligence agents --the military.

I don't want the policy wonk --who gave us exported jobs --de-regulated airlines --chaotic telephone-cable-cell-phone mess --midnight raids on the Treasury --scandals, indictments, favoritism.

I want a person: that all parties --would enjoy, content with having --who cares about the Whole country --All people, No Matter Party -ideology -religion --wealth --poverty.... A Leader who can unite the greatest number --without favoritism or favor to business -unions -ethnic origin -gender --or pals --but All of us --treated equally --restoring Rights, values, long-established principles.

I'm tired, of fear, loathing --war and death --division --discord --disregard for privacy --laws --fairness --librarians forbidden to speak. Tired of being embarrassed, wincing --wondering if my phone -fax -e-mail is part of the spying, lying, greed.

I don't want to be ashamed --of being an American --of Gitmo prisoners held on no evidence, bail, rights or legal representation.

--We do NOT need an imperial president, arrogantly scooping up power --signing 'Signing Statements' --in secret --saying 'even though I just signed this Bill into law, I won't enforce or obey it.'

We need a Leader --who will use government to do for us that which we cannot do individually --for the common good. --Like infrastructure, airline and port security, Nation's Guard. --Balance military protection and medical insurance. --care of those who cannot care for themselves. Then leave us alone, get out of our way from making our own way.

We need a Leader who will see to it that we get simple --clean --Fair tax laws.

Not a "perfect" person, a smart one. --Who, when something doesn't work, will say so, change course, move on --NOT terrified, not in denial --stubbornly pursuing failure, even unto others' death.

I don't want a 'private' army --or the candidate tied to it, but to stream-line --modernize the one we've got --with only those weapons that WORK --only the ones we need, not handing out no-bid no-competition contracts for the bloated and the worthless.

I want us to re-join the world --in solving Common problems, restoring peace, making a better world for All. THAT is how to 'make war' on 'terrorists.' "Terrorist": someone who cannot read, doesn't have a job, no way to earn a living --no future. --Our prisons are crammed full of them. --When they are released? How is That smart, healthy --productive?

If we don't have Leader --willing to ask/look for ways to solve --melting glaciers --disappearing species, fuel and food shortages, nothing else will matter --when quakes -hurricanes -floods -mud -disease -hunger consume all of us on the planet.

No tax "breaks" for the oily boys. Choose a person with a record of doing smart environmental things. --Not one with campaign donations from nuke industry lobbyists.

I want to elect a person who Will Actually uphold the US Constitution --as it was written --originally, not the "new version" stripping rights --and the Bill of Rights, original version. THAT is the way to Health --for humans, country, planet.

What I want in the Executive branch: Quality.

I want a person who has Proven they have 'the goods' --the experience, the brains, the personality, the skill. Who fits that criteria --Who should we choose to run the country?

Governor Bill Richardson

We are Lucky he is running. Go to quality, choose him as the next person to lead the country back to the future.

From "Bring It On" to On His Knees?

2006-11-26T20:45:00.000-08:00

Oval Office Occupant sent President of Vice off to Royal House of Saud --while he runs to off to Jordan, dialing 911 --to all those they once dissed, before, after taking possession of the White House and Iraq, now running hither & yon, on their knees looking for help, hoping --praying(?) for a miracle from daddy's cronies. It's almost a pleasure to watch.
Tthey didn't have a Plan B. They didn't bother with hardened transport, Kevlar vests or even enough water or bullets in 18 months of planning invasion --they couldn't be bothered. No, their Plan A called for invading the two countries that bordered the Caspian Sea, loot Iraq's assets, load the booty on to waiting ships and leave --both countries to clean up the mess.

They twisted Natural forces, perverted, bent Nature to their will. They counted on using fear and "Patriot" Act of theft and religion and money to get More.

Instead rendered mute by Americans, disgusted with their arrogance, their indifference, their imcompetance as they did oily boys and their patrons' business. Now: the President of Vice must sit quietly at table surrounded by those who are empowered to render them impotent, without saying a word.

Nature Does Not Make Mistakes. Now: they must pay. Now they must confront the gravity of what they have wrought. They have to do the actual work of governing, of finding a Real way out, of having to clean up their messes.

There weren't enough "vote" machines that could ever be built to stop that 'pay day.'

About 17 years ago my parents moved to into a community they discovered, as they got to know their neighbors, mostly of right-wing to extreme right-wing Republicans. They all made a joint decision some years ago not to discuss politics, in order to get along and maintain community harmony. Early this past summer they told me: several of their neighbors had decided to vote for a Democrat and told my parents so, so disgusted were they with the current Administration. I was elated, very nearly posted on it, But I've seen too many un-naturual acts committed and stayed silent not to assume any thing. David Brooks of NY TIMES recently revealed: Republicans had taken a poll 13 months before the election and knew --they were going to loose --but refused to believe it. He also stayed silent.

Don't believe the religious right-wing whining. If Occupant was an Actual leader, gave a damn about doing the right thing: Rummy would have been booted out immediately after Iraq prison scandal shamed all Americans. Booting his butt "before the election" would way not have saved this Administration or saved a "few seats."

Personal Note: This month is one year anniversary of this blog. Originally, begun as reaction, outrage --of the deceit; that doctors not only failed to cure Peter Jennings, but did nothing whatsoever to halt the disease --that killed him. I knew he chose "the most aggressive" methods of Western medicine hoping to restore his health; I knew doctors used him...in various ways, instead of using Nature to cure him. I thought of all the politics involved in those decisions...I was, am, disgusted with those politics that kill. But as I watched the politics going on daily, along with the deaths, I began to have an inkling that the 2006 election was going to also be hijacked. I put aside vast material on protecting one's health from such politics, to focus on the politics. After election I was exhausted; a few days rest turned into a longer break. Had I intended it, I would have posted notice.

So thank you for returning this past year. I'll try to post more often, more on health along with other ways to protect onesself. I hope you had a tasty Thanksgiving. Don't spend much money this holiday season, don't create regret. Put as much money as you can into savings account. Spammers are still trying to post in Comments, so feel free to post your thoughts, opinion and I will enable.

What Do You Know?

2006-11-10T01:45:00.000-08:00

Bob Woodward, editor of WASHINGTON POST, once half of reporter team Woodward & Bernstein that wrote investigative pieces which exposed Republican Party dirty dealings -- "Watergate" --led to hearings which led to tape recordings and admission of guilt in the form of Tricky Dick Nixon's resignation from presidency in disgrace...talking about "State of Denial" his latest book, to David Letterman.

Significant part of the book: material based on classified documents, which he said were difficult to obtain. Some came from people who wanted him to know things. He also got interviews. One: ON the Record with the President of Vice, so enraged "judge" Scalia's hunting partner, that one day Woodward picked up his phone, he said, to hear President of Vice swear, slam the phone. Ahhh...so dignified...veneer peeled....

Which part didn't the President of Vice care for --classified documents --insiders' sharing --or: that he opened his mouth and truth flew out, for a change--while a reporter was there to 'capture the moment'....

Woodward Told a Story
Woodward and his wife went to a social event in Washington and was seated at table with Vice President Al Gore and wife Tipper. He talked to Mr. Gore about the difficulty of getting information and he said:
"you were part of an administration for eight years, you were on the inside, you saw everything, you sat in on meetings, you know what it's like. How much do we know about what goes on?"

Vice President Gore: "1%"

Woodward was stunned. "Okay, supposing you wrote about your experience in office, what you saw and learned and you wrote a memoir. How much would we know then?"

--Woodward to Letterman: --I asked him --from all the things that happened while he was in office, what he knew, I figured if he wrote about it he would say something like 90% or maybe 80%.

Vice President Gore: "2%"

--Woodward: I was shocked. It keeps me up at night...wondering what we don't know...things I want to know....

ELECTION RESULTS --Rove --Remember: Nature Doesn't Make Mistakes...

2006-11-08T20:45:00.000-08:00

I have a LOT to say, this has to be the first one: Remember --when "genius" Rove escaped indictment, by the Special Prosecutor –for revealing CIA undercover agent's identity, to clip/threaten her husband for his criticism of the Administration? When Prosecutor Fitzpatrick announced he would not indict Rove I posted:

June 16, 2006

“…I heard the news today, oh boy…”
News: the Special Prosecutor Won’t indict Karl-“brains”-behind-Oval-Office-occupant-Rove, for violating Federal Secrets Act revealing CIA agent’s identity. Angry? Why?
Karl Rove may be “elated” today: but Now he will receive his True sentence. The Universe will not allow escape.

Remedy
Don't Worry ~Be Happy...We know what he did, but the Universe knows: how to inflict
Perfect Justice.
His sentence, Among other things: he is now “free” to “orchestrate” the next election.
He will receive: everything he has coming….
Look Forward to it –watch it –enjoy it...they can run nekid through the Rose Garden, it won't change what's coming...justice meted out by the Universe: superior to Man’s….

Nature does not make mistakes.... When Rove escaped federal indictment I KNEW: he would NOT escape public humiliation of another kind. –I felt it meant: he would be brought to his knees in the next election. However: the people running this Administration and the people behind them –want certain things, so strongly, I believe, that I had real fear, I'll admit it now –that they would thwart this election, by screwing with the electronic "vote" machines, again, and Justice...delivered some other way.

Though they tried to do it again, Expected it to work again, they were thwarted. This election: they got What they Deserved.

I am happy about the Election, somewhat...(and relieved), but I believe, suspect, fear now, that: 1999 will be looked at as the apex of the US. From 2000: the country went on down-slide to totalitarianism –dictatorship; that the Grand Experiment that is America ended with 2000 "election"... not ever the same or rise to any grandness.

The people who hijacked the Republcan Party: are only in remission –temporarily. If you saw Occupant at press conference this morning: you saw almost charming side. Why. He dumped arrogant incompetent "war" archietect Rummy. Why. –Concession to voters? Or: they will do, say whatever it takes –for power. He, they are willing to sound chastised, work with a woman –whatever it takes, as long as: they Keep the White House in 2008 in Republican hands --hands they can control.

Now: Democratic Party must become strong; do smart things. They have only one and a half years. You have only one and half years.

I had hoped, for good long while, European Union would coalese, fast enough, and become strong –strong enough to be world power; challenge/check to power of this country. Tony Blair has not been a leader, may have done so much damage to the European Union that it won't fulfill its goal -for a long time.

Now two things give me hope: increasing global warming; disillusionment of Evangelical Christians.

Global Warming
If enough people –alarmed, outraged, motivated: demand changes to reduce planet pollution –they could de-rail whatever hidden agenda of certain people.

Politically-Organized Evangelical Christians
If enough religious people: stop listening to 'leaders' and realize that after all the money, all the votes they contributed –netted no meaningful results –become realistic –put their energy into other ways to accomplish whatever their goals are –stop funding, stop voting for people who only use them, government Administrations will stop trying to use them; will be forced to go back to government's true purpose:

Actually protect its citizens; balance budget --make up massive deficit; provide economic environment for all to prosper; treating all –equally, fairly, indifferent to differences.

First impending catastrophy: could 'fuel' all the others...make it possible.

REMEDIES
These people will not quit –they haven't given up their plans, only delayed them.
You must be:
-well-informed, vigiliant, proactive, thrifty, protective as never before
-Stop using plastic –going into debt, borrowing. Every time you use Debt cards, you are borrowing –against your own future and you are helping banks, corporations to use their power against you
-Get off the plastic diet: must make purchase -Use CASH; buy from local individual shops
Believe it: You MUST save money –as Much as you can manage and then some more
-Open a ROTH-IRA: ask any local bank if they can open for you; if you take the time: search for best interest rate on-line; you have until December 31 to put in several thousand dollars --which won't be taxable on Income Tax Return next year.
-Keep Healthy: eat fruit, vegetables --all colors -fresh, organic (--no pesticide) or frozen --as much as you want; cut way back on flesh --beef, fish, chicken, pig; for high-quality/low cost protein eat: cottage cheese

Before Going to Vote: Find Out What to Take

2006-11-06T06:05:00.000-08:00

The people who control Congress: have changed the voting rules and made it harder to vote. --None of the rules are consistent across the country, each state has its own requirements.

Polls open and close at different hours across the country --and they require various things before you can sign in to vote and get a ballot. Some require: Birth Certificate or picture ID or Driver's License or utility bill showing your name, current address --some require all of them. Why did Majority Party in Congress change the voting rules --require identification to vote? They hope you, the forgetful, poor and new citizens will not have necessary ID --or will not know that the rules have changed --to prevent voting. THAT is how fearful they are of Voters' wrath for things they have done past six years.

Too bad! Enter your Zip Code --find your Polling Place, map, your Registrar of Voter's address & phone and Find Out what your are required to: Bring to the Polls!

If you don't want to use the Locator link above: open Google >enter your City and add 'dot gov' --to reach your area's Registrar of Voters website. It will list ID requirements to vote.

If you think it should be as easy to vote in the US as it is in Iraq: Vote for someone else to represent you in Congress.

Remember: As long as you are registered to vote You have the Right to Vote
--don't allow anyone to prevent you from voting
-Demandd a paper ballot
-If electronic "vote" machine is only way to vote: request paper receipt
-If you cannot get a paper receipt of your vote --or you don't have confidence: Request a Provisional Ballot --it is your Right --in every state, to cast a Provisional Ballot, which you fill-in by hand; watch the Poll worker insert it in the box
-If you suspect irregularity of any kind: call the Democratic Party. They will have voting monitors for this situation

OFFER: neighbors, co-workers, senior adults a ride to the Polls; call your Party's local office: to volunteer, see if they have a list of people in your area who need a ride to the Polls.
Vote Early!

Election Results NBC has decided: which candidate should win governor's race in one state --they had him on three times --in prime time --but NBC won't allow his opponent ANY air time. NBC received Thousands of e-mails and phone calls requesting equal time. NBC refused. That's going on in California. Would you like that to happen in your state? It's going around the Net: when you turn on TV to watch election results BOYCOTT NBC --e-mail, tell your friends: Don't Watch NBC.

Election: CBS Just Embarrassed Themselves

2006-11-05T20:15:00.000-08:00

On the last Sunday before 2006 Election: CBS just showed the kind of stuff they are stuffed with.

Did you watch "60 Minutes" --to see stories about the election? CBS couldn't do that --they had Priorities: Profile on unknown Congressman from non-pivotal state, one on recycling --followed by deep insightful examination --of an Act-or.

--Inform --examine issues --depth on subjects about Where this country is headed? --Your life --subjects that Matter to you to make Decision? Naw. Very Important stuff, crammed full of garbage aimed --Designed: to help current Oval Office occupant, Jr. --Proof: in the 'profile' of the Congressman who has been trying to expose, cut 'special' projects--Earmarks-- tacked onto Bills, in the middle of the night, favors to lobbyists in exchange for campaign donations, They DIDN'T say --the True size of the deficit --what Republican spending has done to the country. Why not?

--Republicans keep repeating the Line: "great econmoy" --but where is the Rest of the story? If you save your money to protect yourself --if you stop shopping: this country will have to borrow even More than the $3 1/2 billion they have to borrow Every Week.

Dept. of Defense/Pentagoons: get $490 BILLION --Every year. --Why wasn't Some spent on Kevlar bullet-proof jackets for the troops in Iraq they claim to care about? --Spent for maps, intel, translators --hardened transport --why??? CBS: didn't have "time" for those questions, on election eve.

--That's the deal CBS/Viacom cut with this "administration."

More than three million Americans wrote to FCC --faxed --e-mailed --phoned to ask/beg/demand that they Leave the rules alone. So many people --from National Rifle Assoc, Artists, ACLU, Christrian Coalition, independent newspaper & radio owners contacted FCC their copy machines and phones jammed. FCC didn't mind, they were on a Mission.

FCC: changed the rules to accommodate big media, who just happen to be Big Donors. --To get FCC "approval" to rip down firewall between media ownership in a community --to bloat up --own TWO TV stations (i.e. in Los Angeles) + radio + newspaper + cable, etc, etc, etc. CBS --and the other media hogs, got the rules yanked, they got to buy More media in a single community.

Pay-back for the "favor"? They DON'T examine what the current Occupant has done. --They DON'T dig into claims of "WMD in Iraq" --they DON'T examine sinkhole Iraq. On the eve of election --in which their patrons could loose control: they DON'T rock his boat --DON'T examine his incompetence --dealing with countries that HAVE intention to produce nuclear weapons --DON'T look at massive, life-threatening amount of money those people have WASTED.

SHAME on you CBS --FCC --Congress --Oval Office Occupant.

REMEDIES

-Vote
-If you get to the Poll and it has electronic "vote" machine: demand a paper recipt --or a paper ballot. If poll workers refuse to give either one: You have legal right to demand "Provisional" ballot

Undecided? Security + Republicans + $700 Million = n

2006-11-02T08:45:00.000-08:00

House Majority Leader Rep. Boehner, Ohio, Sunday morning political talk-show: "I heard about the Foley e-mails to the Pages, but I thought Hastert took care of it, and I'm busy with conversations, lots of conversations, I can't remember if I talked to Hastert about the Pages --we have a lot to do, we're busy dealing with security of the country."

Republicans: curious definition of "security" --if you missed investigative reporters' piece last week-end, October 27, 2006 on PBS: "Nice Work if You Can Get It," it showed how Homeland Security Department has handled security --and over $700 million.

What did they do with the money...

Are You Making $450. a Day? How About $515.?
Republicans managing Homeland Security: they gave a sub-contract to a woman in San Diego to hire airport screeners. --Oh, but: no written contract. Oops: no background check on the woman who got the contract. What were her qualifications? She is a travel agent. She is also: a member of an Evangelical church, in Florida. Oops: TSA people kept giving her money --until they handed her $24 million bucks --our money. --No back-up paperwork to justifiy expenses. --Not even "thousands" for cellphones --no documentation on cash withdrawals or on anything else. Result? Auditors determined: $15 million was not justified/overpaid.

Remember when we heard airport screeners weren't screened --no background checks, convicted felons, some on parole? Remember: when it was reported they hadn't been paid, some for as long as six months? Now: we know why. If you are Protestant, Jewish --atheist, any other religion: you can't get a government contract from This Administration?

Is your Congressmember part of the waste, fraud, abuse?
Reporters did a series of investigations, how our money was spent, what security we got for it, you can read each part of the series: High Price of Homeland Security

TSA? They refused to supply papers requested by reporters under Freedom of Information Act. Reporters got the information anyway: the woman got fabulous house, $24 million, $270,000. "pension" --Americans got? Screwed. If you watch the tape: you will see head of TSA --he asked the reporters not to do the story, basically give them 'a break' on handing out $741 million without any proof of how the money was spent.... Would that fly were you work? MOST bosses: don't like it when employees make unnecessary phonecalls.

With "security" like this, I now believe the only reason the country hasn't been attacked again: only because nobody has tried anything since Sept. 11. The money these people have wasted is DIZgusting.

--For $700 Million: ALL of us could have had $1 million health insurance coverage --with $400 million balance: every hospital in the US could have been fully staffed, equipped and paid.

Thanks on the "security" Rep. Boehner. --Where's our security --Where's protection for Pages --Where's our $700 Million --Where's bin Laden? Too busy hoping around to golf courses with your pal Tom Delay? This guy --what anyone would call "leader"???

REMEDIES
-Ohio: can't we do better than him?
Three-year old warnings about Foley bothering Pages, $8 Trillion debt next two generations will have to pay off, tax cut for the wealthiest 1%, but no Minimum Wage increase--tried to cut military's benefits IN THE MIDDLE OF WAR --incompetence in Iraq, at home.
-If Democrats are in majority of the House: Mr. Boehner will not be in charge of our money or anything else.
We HAVE to have better than this --Tuesday: Please Vote
-If you give your vote to a Republican: then you will be rewarding that Party for appalling waste and for deaths. -There Has to be consequences for the things they have done: Please vote for anyone but Republicans.
-Buy a local newspaper this week --at least twice, ask your friends to do the same; they are looking out for us, reward them, newspapers are hurting.

2,759 + 104 = Funerals 0 -WHO Should Apologize?

2006-11-01T23:15:00.000-08:00

The people who hijacked the Republican Party got: deferments --special treatment instead of tours of duty. Now they are panting and blathering over a comment by the Senator from Massachusetts. Why? Even One American believes --a man who SERVED in the military is going to slam others serving in the military??? Paleeese --how sad, how desperate are they, to be showing off their weenieness in public.

Who shipped Americans' National Guard --to other side of the world for --what was the reason?

A person who chooses to have war is responsible --for consequences --faulty equipment --flimsy transport --helicopters that crash --inadequate water, Kevlar vests, night goggles, bullets, weapons, translators, supplies, maps --protection of troops, civilians, infrastructure, homes, bridges, roads, electricity --destruction of schools, religious houses, families --death --world's contempt, hatred --massive theft --chaos.

Oval Office occupant claims: we "should blame [him]" for the war --so what's he whining about? We DO blame him for Iraq --and so does the Senator.

A woman flying home from Iraq, feeling bad about the soldiers, took out her camera --photographed soldiers going home. She gave her pictures to her newspaper, which published them. Then: she got fired. Why? Pentagoons: didn't like her pictures --showing utmost respect for soldiers --each in a coffin meticulously draped with US flag. --People "running" Iraq invasion and Pentagoons: don't want Americans to see any thing that reveals results --showing how poorly they do their job. --They banned photographers from Day One at Dover airport runway, as coffins off-loaded. Why? Excuse: "that's up to family members of the dead." --Yet no military family has denied permission to reporter or photographer to be at the airport. Pictures of tortured, humiliated Iraq prisoners? Ex Chief of the Joints Meyers --sat on those pictures for eight weeks --until he couldn't prevent media from publishing.

Oval Office occupant: not attended one military funeral. Wives, parents, family members of dead soldiers and marines brought into the White House --calls them "mommy." --Respectful? --Something to admire?

After September 11 attack on the US --advice we got? "Just shop --just live normally." In other words:
'don't make sacrifices' and 'DON'T stop spending your money' --don't pay any attention to what we are doing --to 'aid' our benefactors and giant corporations.' How did 'shop till you drop' --help wives, who suddenly found out "National Guard" meant some other nation?

He and the people he hired to run invasion and occupation of Iraq: don't have a Plan --how to get out.

His choice --civilian who runs Defense Dept: has no military --strategy --tactical --aerial knowledge or experience. He is equipped with massive quantity of: arrogance. He told Generals any who read prepared papers on How to Handle the Peace: would be fired. Now THERE was a Plan. Anyone in military who stands up to him --tries to argue facts with him: finds their career --"altered" --or over. So "brilliant": orderded strikes --TWO wedding parties --slaughtered. --You forgot?

These are the people who paid a liar and bank thief: $350,000 per MONTH --for over a year --to hear? --What they wanted to hear --whispered in their ears. What did we get for the money? Fake facts. CIA: warned them he couldn't be trusted --before he was "hired." --But They didn't mind spending --our money on a liar --on contracts of former employer of President of Vice, violating federal law on no-compete and no-bid --on mercenaries.

These people claim they don't like welfare. --Yet wrote a "drug" bill to give billions in aide to drug makers --to oil companies --to airlines --to coal producers --to insurance, credit card and bank corporations --anyone who ever 'donated' to their election campaigns.

Those people: don't have a problem with CEOs making Millions --but don't want Minimum Wage raise. How is everyone else supposed to pay bills --survive?

They claim to want smaller government: blew a $8 TRILLION hole in our Treasury. --Who will be paying that debt --after they blow town?

--These people howling about a Senator's disgust: Gave out 38,000 oil contracts to dig for oil in nation's parks to pals.

They refused to join the world to cut pollution. They made it harder for struggling families to declare bankruptcy. They gave themselves raises and pension increases --every year. Did you get $3,000. more a year --six years in a row?

How does all that compare --hmmm...to a badly-worded slam of what they have Actually done --military deaths, massive debt, Iraq chaos --655,000 deaths --blood --destruction --two countries threatening to build nuclear weapons --world's disrespect, contempt. Are we better off? --Are you wealthy now? Do You work less hours now? Are You, your family --safer now? --Is the world more stable? WHO should apologize?

Remedies
-Vote Tuesday --for anyone but Republicans, unless you want More of the same
-Offer: Give senior adults a ride to the polls to vote
-Contact: your local Registrar of Voters, your local City Council Representative and local Democratic Party office --request that they have monitors and lawyers at Every polling place --to prevent anyone with fake creditials from entering the polling place --from altering vote totals --from "counting" votes --from evicting Poll workers and "counting" votes --or dumping ballots in the trash. --In case you are one of rare people who doesn't know: Republicans tossed ballots into the trash, "forgot" to count thousands of ballots --in Florida --throughout Southern states.

Do Not Forget: In New Mexico, 2004 "election": the person occupying the Oval Office "received" 58,000 more votes than there are registered voters. --Same in Ohio, Florida, many states and districts with heavily-Democratic registered voters --Reported by US Census Bureau and by GAO for Congress. If such dirty tricks worked twice: why wouldn't he try them again?

Get Absentee Ballot Now NOW

2006-10-30T12:45:00.000-08:00

White House So-called press conference --If you saw it only on the news --heard it but didn't SEE it --when a reporter asked him about the election he went off on usual wandering blathering --Not answering question asked, not-subtle attempt to put down Democrats, but then Oval Office occupant said:

"I will have Republican majority in the Senate and Republican majority in the House after this election." Then-- Smirk.

The same smug face --election night 2004 --before the votes were counted. HE IS UP TO SOMETHING.

My instincts tell me: he's going to pull something --I don't know what --Yet. THREE times can NOT be a charm. You MUST get: Absentee Ballot --Do NOT risk voting on electronic vote machine. Not even if they offer you a Notarized paper recipt.

To Vote by Absentee Ballot:
-Google your City's name - then add "dot gov"
-When you are on local government's page: elections is on front page of most --if it isn't >Look for "election" or "registration" "ballot" "polling place" --something like that
-Read Rules on getting/qualifying for Absentee Ballot --very carefully
--you may also be able to request Absentee Ballot by phone
-Some require written request for Absentee Ballot, etc., follow rules carefully --a mistake, missed deadline could mean: not voting
-When you recive the ballot: fill it out promptly, return it as instructed --some will only accept by snail mail, some require send to specific address --by a certain date, follow rules carefully and fast.

Look around --your neighborhood, local areas --see if any senior adult needs an Absentee ballot, offer to help NOW. Only few more days until Absentee Ballot deadline.

I have Very good instincts, good ideas --but I'm clueless: HOW --WHAT he intends to do, but Believe it: that Smirk means He IS going to steal the ELECTION --he already knows it.

If anyone told me --in 2000 --that no-longer supreme court would be used to get inserted into Oval Office --I would have said: 'Get into Re-hab, you're Crazy.'

--If you don't know: in 2004 --in districts with registered Democrats --in Ohio --Florida --South, didn't have enough Polling Places --broken voting equipment; retired and ex FBI agents went into polling areas: told workers there was "red threat alert" --ordered the workers to leave and "counted" the votes. --Proof? At 8 pm EST: all three TV networks reported receiving angry calls from the White House --demanding they report that Ohio had won him the election. --People in Ohio stood to vote in the rain until 4 am --so HOW did they "know" Ohio would 'go Republican'?

US Census Bureau and GAO filed reports: in many heavily-registered Democratic districts the Occupant WON. --In one district of New Mexico: he "won" by 58,000 MORE votes than registered voters of both parties.

Remedies
I have written about electronic "vote" machines since last year --begged people to contact local elction officals to DUMP those machines --vote can EASILY be changed.
Now:
-Get Absentee Ballot yourself or
-Fill out Absentee Ballot on-line: here
-Ask around: see if anyone needs Help --to Get Absentee Balllot

-Send e-mail: to Democratic Party --demand they provide election monitors and attorneys at Polling places, prevent fraud, challenge irregularities in vulnerable districts --like Tennessee --Missouri --Ohio --Virginia --Florida

-Donate: help them monitor polling places, prevent fraud, take back the country
-Donate: by mail or phone

We can Not have universal medical insurance --world's respect --jobs, prosperous country --peace --if that person has Republican majority in Congress after this election....

UPDATE: Goverment announced economy "grew" 1.6%. If Occupant's 'trickle down' tax cuts for the wealthiest is "working": where is the growth? --Where is the money? Wage-workers aren't doing better.

I suspect figures on growth and on unemployment have been manipulated past six years. When unemployment insurance runs out: workers are dropped from the rolls --no longer counted --not the same as dropped for getting a job. The people who hijacked Republican Party: don't care.

They also don't seem to be smart enough to figure out: if they ship production of goods/services out of the country --to "improve" their bottom line, who will be able to buy IN the US? They don't care about that either.

This Administration: has to borrow billions every week, to keep the war and the country going. I believe we are in for very rough times. One day: the bills will HAVE to be paid. There's Good reasons: foreclosure rate of recent home purchases is at 76%. Foreclosure: like the canary in the mine. --It will kill the economy, which could cause other things to fall --sharply.

REMEDIES
-Pay Yourself FIRST: You worked for it --Save Your Money
-When you get paid: take 25% off the 'top' --BEFORE you pay bills, mortgage, buy things

-Put into savings account: if you don't have a savings account --keep it simple, go to closest bank, just open account, put in the money. --Make it a deadline --to open an account THIS week --by next Friday
-Set another deadline: Find, open a ROTH-IRA account. Give yourself rigid deadline: within two weeks. Money you put into a ROTH: means you won't have to pay tax on it next year. You are allowed to stash several thousand dollars into a ROTH each year, but you only have two months, until December 30, of this year
-Save: BEFORE you buy things --go out to dinner, etc.

-Look at every area to save/cut back: you will be happy later on --when everyone else is panicing.
-Halloween: Instead of handing out candy, with white sugar which is toxic & addictive, hand out new pennies --get a few rolls. --3 to 10-year olds don't need candy.
-Make coffee at home, take to-go in insulated cup --kick the $20. -30. a week Starbuck habit. One pound of organic (no pesticide) quality coffee costs $8., lasts two weeks. Put the average difference, $42. in the bank.
-Every week: buy a few canned goods, stash away for future.

Open Letter To: "Doctor" Condo

2006-10-17T06:33:00.000-07:00

"Doctor" Condo:

You were hired, for obscene amount of money, to give crash-course to one student on your specialty: Russia.

Then you were hired by federal government to work in national security, as advisor.

Given: two month's 'heads up' notice --that people who hate Americans wanted to hijack planes, crash them into buildings, You: shoved the notice under your ex student's nose. The End.

You failed to even call FBI, Air Force, NTSB, Pentagoons, NORAD, Coast Guard, Customs --anyone??? --to warn: 'Watch for the unusual / Follow procedures strictly / Use instincts / Watch Out.'

You did not advise.

You did not search, read, look for pattern, past assessments -experience -knowledge of previous Administrations. You asked about nothing of any. You evidenced no arming of questions / answers of the knowledgeable.

You did not ask anyone in any other country if they knew of any one, any plans --any inelligence, hatred chatter by anyone.

You failed to intervene: when 182 Saudi Arabian nationals around the country were picked up --assembled onto one plane --allowed to fly out of the country, only plane allowed into US airspace two days after the country was attacked. --Over the objections of FBI, which demanded time and access to question them before they left the country.

You did not determine: how/why FBI came to have an informant living with two of the Saudi hijackers in the months before attack. You did not ask for investigation --CIA inquiry --Congress to hold even closed-door hearings. --You did not require divulgence: What FBI knew, when they knew it, how much informant was paid; what happened to him. You asked no questions, you gained no knowledge.

Having failed at the job after attack on the country September 11, 2001, which had nothing whatever to do with your "specialty" Russia: you received promotion.

You have not prevented, detered, curtailed war --any war, anywhere. You have not offered even a single organic solution for countries to get along, fight common enemey global warming --nuclear bombs --nuclear energy. --Hell, you even failed to teach your ex student how to pronounce the word. Are you standing on "moral" ground when you call for others to shun nuclear weapons? --When Pentagoons have created thousands of them, and you well know it....

Whenever your mouth is open: the multi-edited smooth copy written by the ad agency writers, rolls off your honed serpentine tongue. --But why? By the time the puppet-masters hoist you before cameras to perform: those who scrutinze --already know, newest version of the dance. --You don't answer, admit, acknowledge --or apologize. So whyever do you bother? --We already know what you're going to say --Please: STOP polluting Sunday morning political programs. --It's a waste of our air-waves.

You imagine that you work for the person occupying OUR Oval Office. You are wrong, You do not understand the job. You: serve at the pleasure of Americans --us, we who pay the price --pay your salary --your perks --your meals --your jet fuel bills --your long-distance calls to learn "nothing."

When a country threatens with nuclear weapons
--when discussion, dialogue, diplomacy could organically reduce threat
--when invasion results in murder of 665,000 people --2,759 military blown up --when 50,000 loose eyes -feet -hands -legs from inadequate weapons, transport, bullets
--when the starving cold unemployed homeless turn to growing narcotic because of failed policies, strategies
--when $9 Billion disappears
--when the flooded are hungry, thirsty, stranded
--when fossil, carbon fuel heats the planet, clogs lungs, intensifies storms, strands polar bears, deforms frogs
--when mid-night raids on Treasury means government must borrow $3 1/2 billion dollars Each Day
--when rights, privacy stolen
--when contracts given in violation of law, over-sight, competition
--when the mangled return --hidden in boxes hidden from view --your boss too squish to look, but war-lover by remote-control
--You have no ideas --no knowledge --no solutions --no spine --no voice. You only have the honed serpentine tongue and Your specialty: Russia --nothing whatever to do with anything that matters Now. YOU: Past your sell-by date. Perhaps you heard --we aren't fighting communists now.

To women: you are not a woman.

To people of color: you are not black.

To people who want peace, don't want to be blown up, shot with semi-automatic weapons in schools, go hungry, go homeless: you provide no knowledge, skill, ability, security or comfort.

This author: child of person skilled in cardiac-pulmonary surgery, private practice, teacher of kidney disease to nine hand-picked students each spring, rounds in three hospitals and house calls. I know what a doctor is. You "doctor" Condo are no doctor. You: no comfort to anyone.

Remedies
When you hop around the world --tell allies: no person secretly transported, delivered to torture --then hop home to tell our representatives: you 'won't do it any more --you promise,' you make liars out of us.

You: brought shame, disfigurement, dishonor, scorn, contempt, death on Americans. Your specialty: Russia --irrelevant. You don't understand your job any better than ex student incompetent boss understands his. You: disaster --for the country, the planet, the peace.

You: cancer on Americans, on peace-loving people everywhere.

May you receive: Every Single Thing you earned --SOON.

"The two Democrats, Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps, were infuriated that the Justice Department's antitrust division cleared the deal on Wednesday without any conditions, and they argued the FCC should conduct a more rigorous review."

Texans don't give a damn about You

IF: owners of SBC get control of AT&T --they WILL have a monoply on phone service in the US. Want to go back to No choice? Repubicans already used FCC --to help six mega-corps to control ALL our TV networks. Want to stop them --from controlling ALL telephone service?

There is Still Time: Send e-mail to FCC --tell them "Vote NO" on merger.
See this page - left margin to: FCC link

Power, Privacy, Rights on the line: Some good ol' boys from Texas bought what was once the finest corporation in the country --Pac Bell. They changed it, wow did they change it.

They steam-rolled long-time smart employees, ground out each word allowed to say; nickel & dimed every single part of the business. They changed the name, the ethics, the trust, the quality. Their greed: leeks out of every thing they do. They are pals: of Oval Office occupant.

Today: they get approval --to become more powerful than any other hogs sucking at any trough --unless you stop them. They need Justice Department and your silence to take over AT&T.

If you do nothing: good luck having privacy, fighting a wrong bill, getting attention from your rep in Congress.
--AT&T will be printing money --throwing so much money at Your rep: You won't count.

Write to your Senators, your rep in the House --NOW. Demand stop to the deal --SBC take-over of AT&T. See: links left margin this page to find yours, just enter your zip code.

If rumors are true: they paid the occupant $990 million bucks --for an introduction to royal house of Saud --to get the telephone rights to wire Saudi Arabia.

Stop them NOW --before they get any bigger --any greedier --any more powerful.

Don't forget: they didn't have a problem --turned over phone records --even WITHOUT court order. They play nice --with their pals.

Tomorrow is Too Late: send e-mail NOW.

Making History in Texas: Kinky Friedman?

2006-10-09T03:30:00.000-07:00

The people who wrote our Constitution: wanted Joe Citizen to step into government, run things for the rest of Americans, then step out.

Ex exterminator Tom Delay, his associates and White House occupant: stepped into government to get money --for themselves, redraw district lines to keep their jobs and use others to fly to distant golf courses, first class. They and their pals live high on the hog, ignore welfare and common good of everyone else --that voted for them to look out for Americans.

Former cockroach hunter Delay, Republican: will stand trial soon, for getting money from 27 Texas corporations--violating Texas law that has stood for 106 years--directing it to RNC in Washington, then having it distributed to Texas Republicans --to keep a Republican majority in the House of Representatives. The donations went to Washington as "soft money" --back to Texas as "hard money" --legal to distribute, after it was 'laundered.'

Lobbyist Jack Abramoff, his pal, 'contributed' to Delay, his wife, his daughter: lavish trips, suites, dinners, salary and gifts totaling millions of the $66 million they got from ripping off four Indian tribes. Pal Abramoff pled guilty, cooperating, going to prison for six years.

Before his Party forced him to resign
Republican Delay threatened: if lobbyist firms hired Democrats --any Democrat to work in their firms, they would not get any bills they wanted passed. On indictment he grinned and declared: "this is just partisan politics." Does Texas have stupid prosecutors --arrest and indict without evidence???

So many Republicans in trouble, if you aren't from Texas or aren't sure which one is Delay: when he forced a vote of the Texas legislature that was going to redraw district lines, to send six more Republicans to House of Representatives, Democrats, to avoid the vote they believed was illegal, left the state, stayed in a motel until deadline passed. Delay: used Homeland Security Dept. --and laws, to send Marshalls and a jet to go get the Democrats, costing thousands and violating laws.

Delay: the one who, as Party Whip, shoved the grotesque Drug Bill --welfare for drug-makers--on American senior adults --and on you, to pay the bill; deepened Treasury debt, un-born great-grandchildren will still be paying it off; threatened members of his own Party --if they didn't do what he wanted.

Grinning Delay: orchestrated the vote that stole our rights: "Patriot" Act. --Government can spy on you --snoop on your bank records, phone calls, e-mail --without a court's approval or warrant, thanks to fat-cat Republican Tom Delay. No-longer supreme court: told the White House to shove it --to get approval from Congress to do that. Good little Republicans toed the line, tried to craft a Bill, even retroactive, to give authority to White House occupant to spy on you, but Occupant: doesn't want to recognize Congress's authority, he wants: sole authority --without interference. There's a name for that: it's called "dictatorship."

What is Tom Delay doing while he waits for his trial to begin? "Religious" leaders --of mega churches --pay Delay to speak to mega groups? --To bring in mega donations? Aren't worshipers TIRED of giving, but never getting anything back but anti-spirit?

Many Texans: voted for the person they most wanted to have a beer with --for president, for ex cockroach hunter Delay and many other Republicans. Apparently they have decided: it's time for those people to 'step off' --don't want any more of those 'partisan' politics --starting with Texas governor's office.

Voter Registration
Ranchers --farmers --working class, all kinds of Republicans and Democrats in Texas: lining up to register so they can vote for 'None of the Above' and choose Independent: Kinky Friedman --to handle the governor's office for them. They have way had enough of Republicans.

Kinky Friedman: plans and goals loaded with common sense --to look out for all. He doesn't have consultants, smooth patter, glib phrases or much money. Does have: contempt for status quo and career politicians. He is smart, single, musical, funny, mature, rather crude, wise --and pissed off. Sound like a typical politician?

How bad is Friedman: he wants a moment of silence and the Ten Commandments --in schools. He wants quality education, Peace Core-type program for teaching and renewable energy.

Remedies for Republican Arrogance, Indifference
Someone has to govern --we may as well choose well --this time --all over the country.
People in all fifty states need to care what happens to Independent Friedman, IF we are going to take back this country.
Send a donation to Kinky Friedman, even $10. is $10. more than Republican Party will be giving him.
Read his platform, goals: Independent Friedman

Friedman said. "I think the soul of Texas is riding on this campaign."

Right to Life? Hell No, NRA's Rights More Important

2006-10-08T17:15:00.000-07:00

Do you believe in the right to life? --Do you have the right to live?

Are you sure?
Someone's daughter got up one morning, got dressed, went to school: got raped at gunpoint, then got shot dead. Will never come home. Bailey, Colorado

Daughters and sons sat together in a small schoolroom drawing pictures --for the last time: a man with a semi-automatic weapon, hundreds of bullets and a diseased mind entered the school. He filled Twelve small girls with bullets --five shot until they died, one child had 20 bullets in her 7-year old body. Shot dead, One begged...

Only happens to other people's children --poor, middle-class children? A child --on the playground --on the street --walking home from school --in a car on the highway, with parents --is shot dead --in every city in the US --every day.

Can government make you sick? It can kill you.
US government believes: it has the right to put lead into Great Lakes --poisoning drinking water, endangering wildlife, fish, eco-system, boaters. lead into Great Lakes

Members of Congress: get campaign donations from religious groups that believe in the right to life, hell: who doesn't believe in the right to live.

While you are busy working --shopping --focusing on yourself, your family, your friends: your representative in Congress has been busy --helping members of National Rifle Association keep their perceived right --to have semi-automatic weapons.

Members of Congress, like the Speaker for the majority Party Dennis Hastert, disgraced ex Rep. Tom Delay, other extremists, believe in: money. --They also get donations from: NRA --which believes their members have Right to use semi-automatic weapons . --Deer hunters --Real hunters: use semi-automatic--rapid-fire-- weapons to kill prey for dinner? Members of Congress are quietly busy helping them --keep their "right."

Did those children --thousands every year, die for a cause? Well...members of Congress like money, Now they have more of it --from both sides --to run more campaigns to stay in office....

While everyone is watching Republican Party disgrace themselves on other issues: they are trying to change gun laws --quietly....

England, Austraila: don't have 15,000 murders every year --people slaughtering children, wives, strangers. --They also don't have right-to-gun laws --or government 'over-running people' even though citizens aren't armed --the stupidest argument of all.

Nature demands justice...is it an "accident" Charlton Heston, ex president of NRA, is dying --a slow death?

Which side are you on?
You think --there is some Good Reason country is filled with semi-automatic weapons --children have a right to live --or Your representative should have more money or more ethics?

Here's An Idea
If you believe you, family, children have a right to live: supposing 'right to guns' people keep their guns, but ALL bullets: only available at police station
-ANY bullets, any amount: fill out a request form
-Two police officers have to examine and Approve
-Dispense the bullets
-Keep part of the profit --to hire more police
-Permanent record: who got which bullets
-Amnesty Period: turn in ALL bullets; bullets found/not registered: special jail time/added to a sentence

Local Police: can verify permit, legality, mental state. Anyone else who sells bullets: gets long prison term. Period. Could this be done in your community? Ask your mayor, your local representative. That phone call could start the process --and save a child you know, or your life.

Remedies
What do You care about? If you actually really Truly believe in the Right to life, your inaction --so far, says otherwise.
-LOOK: at the links in left margin this page, click on "Senate" --"House of Representatives"
-Enter your zip code --you'll get your rep's Home Page
-SEND a message: Demand end to semi-automatic weapons --easy access to guns
or: outlaw bullets except by local police.

-Believe it: only 100 sincere letters from voters will sway your representative
Can you ask 99 friends, neighbors, co-workers, PTA members, people waiting in line at Post Office -grocery store to write to representative?

You want life? DEMAND Congress get off their butts, Pay attention to YOU, to children

Can't be bothered to write, send e-mail? DON'T moan, cry --show up --at the next funeral. Hell, the next funeral: might be for you.

Pop Quiz: WMD --Fed Up?

2006-10-02T05:41:00.000-07:00

Starting from the day after September 11, 2001 until now you have heard every "administration" person allowed to speak on camera and nearly every person in Congress say variations of:

'--everybody thought Saddam had weapons of mass destruction --so I voted... blah blah blah"

"--gathering --grey cloud over US" --'biological' --'chemical weapons, put on protective gear...blah blah blah.' Then the talker, ususally, cites the UN resolution --which 'allowed' US to invade Iraq. --You want to give, at least some, the benefit of doubt --maybe even Oval Office occupant, because they just "--got bad intelligence"? --But If you hear one more claim WMD justified invasion --you have an air-sick bag handy?

OK, mouse ready --Pop Quiz: Imagine that the Internet had to be stripped of all websites --they were all using too much bandwith, e.g., so only one could stay up:

Christmas???

2006-09-30T22:20:00.000-07:00

One morning you are going to wake up and it will be seven days before Christmas...put off the dreaded drag to The Mall as long as you could, but now...as the panic spreads, out comes the plastic...there go Best of Intentions. But Think.

Oval Office "administration" has done things --many secret, that will affect us --for decades. Believe It: government way not going to help or care if you are too tired, too ill to work and have no money. You have to set aside Serious chunks of money, in your own account --each year --each month --end of each week --starting now --Pay YOU First. Buying expensive gifts NOT going to help. But: Giving summer fruit, veggies --out of season, will not take a bite out of your future.

Remember --two years ago --the stuff, the tech toys you Had to buy for Them, all those others --now tech trash, still lingering on the Debt Card bill, but long since in the landfill? Do you need to repeat the dance to remember the feeling --of dread? Is More Stuff -Another piece of tech trash Really worth your future?

It does not have to be that way. Nobody "needs" more objects --we are a country crammed FULL of Stuff. There IS another way --and It is Still summer...how heavenly would it be to deliver a gift --only to those who Really matter, of the Best of Summer --for winter treat. All kinds of fruit --available now, would be much sweeter, special in the middle of winter's cold...strawberries --blackberries -blue berries -figs, dates... ripe juicy peaches.... You don't need to make jam -bake -or cook anything: just freeze, then put into a glass jar (--left-over from peanut butter, mayo, or pickles and small size jars)...olive oil, with a few raspberries dropped in...wrapped simply, ribbon round the lid: --perfect size --right color --rejected by No One!

Stroll through weekly farmer's market will reveal all that is in season now, sorely missed in December. Simplest form is best, but lots of cookbooks, on-line recipe sites can give more complex ideas, but avoid recipes that include white sugar, fats, artificial chemicals. Nothing is as zingy, heavenly as perfectly ripe unadorned blackberries...on buckwheat pancakes --while rain, wind pounds life outside.

To Freeze Fruit, Berries:

Use any flat surface, such as cake pan -pie plate -stiff cardboard -aluminum tray
Cover surface with paper towel or wax paper
Spread out berries -so none touch
Place in freezer -small berries will harden within two hours
Glass Jar, lid: as jar becomes available thoroughly wash, including inside lid; thoroughly dry
Place fruit inside jar loosely -without packing, screw lid tightly; replace in the freezer
Sheet of Labels, wide-nib pen, such as caligraphy pen from art store, clear tape
Write: name of each fruit, possibly date of purchase, and "From"
Don't add label to the jar -until just before delivery or: add label first, then cover with tape (to keep the ink from smearing when moist)
Ribbon: while doing other errands during next few months, stop in at a fabric store and purchase few yards of satin or gros grain ribbon, to place around each lid --you're done!

NOTE: Do NOT freeze Tomato: never ever even chill --cold destroys the 47 enzymes in tomato, which turns it to garbage -no reason to eat; but using summer tomatoes to make Tomato Sauce, with fresh basil, That is a very good idea; could be used on wheat pizza dough, as soup, on any pasta shape; on bagels, topped with cheese -under broiler.

NOTE: Use glass jar --no not NOT plastic. Why NO Plastic: will not freeze; how long until plastic --in landfill breaks down? Try: 1,000 years --or never. Plastic: made from petroleum --not helpful to the planet.

Or: you could do the usual --buy more stuff, more tech toys --for people who's last names you hardly know --they will take you in --take care of you --when you have no home, no income --in your 70's, 80's --right? Ask a senior adult -a grandparent, if you're lucky enough to have one, what life is like living on Social Security...how many trips, treats, restaurant meals....

If you absolutely Positively Hafta buy an Object:
-Look around, now, while everyone is outta town, leaving the shops empty --what's on sale --bargain from season, reduced to insignificant cost...books...wool scarf, unusual shirt, tennis balls

-Start checking in at charity shops: not only can you find good bargains, toys, books and such, but designers, bankrupt store owners and unusual others (such as brides who received 'white elephants') donate un-used/new merchandise to charity and thrift shops for the tax write off. Gift Idea for a family or wedding gift: assemble all the parts for a picnic basket.

All of which will not make Serious dings in: Your Plan to Save for Your Future. Some day: you will be too tired to work. If you take care of that Future person today, Future person will thank you.

No matter what happens in November --how many right-wingers still in Congress after November election: Part of having Healthy life is having enough money to take care of yourself. That is harder to do, much more important when right-wing Republican holds nearly every seat. The chief Whack-job will still whine about secrets, swipe rights, invade privacy, tell only part of the truth and help his pals do the same, But: Eventually he'll blow outta DC, leaving the rest of us to restore shredded reputation, Bill of Rights, Treasury, ify future. We have to get through two and a half more years --of his imperial tyranny, appalling illiteracy, endangering policies, indifference to middle -working class Americans --those who help his pals get wealthier, but aren't in the country to pick crops. He has done things that will make future difficult for the individual --while helping corporations and his pals. You must begin doing defensive things --look out for yourself, despite his ugly plans, changes of law.

But: Next year could be OK for you...if you have a plan, stick to it weekly, pick the best of summer and ignore Oval Office occupant's pals' pressure to Buy More Stuff.

Remedies:
Get a wire shopping cart basket --get a ROTH-IRA pension account --sign up for any work-available pension plan, sock away all the goodies.

You can enjoy all the season's best --no fear factor, no guilt, no fire alarms, no Wal-Mart, no mauling, no crowds, no left-over debt --no landfill filler, for stress-free tasty season. Bon Apetite!`

All Saints Vs IRS: Where is Republican Ken Melman?

2006-09-22T05:45:00.000-07:00

The Goo Ol' oily Boys occupying the White House: like to blend their politics with oil, when they want money, with religion when they want votes and cash. They don't gotta prob with generals, decked out in full regalia, banging on church pulpits, spewing whatever --if gets them results they like. They do gotta prob with religious leaders who don't tow their line --or who speak their own mind --against them.

This being the Land of the Free --they use their power, might, freedom --to launch --the IRS on a church in Pasadena, California which had a visiting priest who made the "mistake" of speaking about freedom --during 2004 election. Seems the priest, the church, the worshipers weren't on the, uh, 'right' side of that "election" --so IRS is eyeballing (read: threatening to revoke Catholic church's tax-exempt status) them.

Now you can take the view that politics from the pulpit ain't kosher. Okay. Let's say the Gooey Boys have a point --and to sic (--sicking?) IRS on the church is fair game. If so: Please account for Republican tool Ken Melman. Just PRECISELY where has he been, say last 20 Sundays? Well, if you aren't socially well-connected, not a Major Republican donor, don't have access to "genius" Rove's datebook, here's a hint: he's on the road --every Sunday. What's he doing? He's looking for a few of the foolish.

Jewish Republican tool Ken Melman is in church --any black --any Latino church that will have him. What's he doing? He's pitching --Republican politics --on the Join Us tour, to any worshipers willing to be fooled a third time. He only needs a few --to peal off a few dozen from each church, to punch up voter rolls with people of color....

EXCUUUSE me: WHY is THAT okay? WHERE is IRS --WHY aren't they going after EVERY church in which Melman pops his weenie little pointed head?

Connected to spirit: good for your health. Connected to Republican Party: raising Minimum Wage would "harm" them --ain't gonna happen; they want to eject all Mexicans in the US who aren't citizens--good luck on getting any fresh fruit, vegetables--to "protect" the rest of us. They like war, lobbyists with trunks of cash, midnight raids on US Treasury for "special" projects, torture, signing statements ---that disavow bills, making personal wealth off government, invading privacy--without court 'snooping'--massive debt --stupid public school children, telling women what to do with their body --packing courts with ideologs --bloated incompetent departments, weapons that don't work, slashing veteran benefits --building fences, lots and lots of fences, checking your shoes while ignoring the cargo underfoot in airplanes --borrowing money --being world bullies --bloated Pentagon --pretending global-warming a mystery --screwing with gas price and the status quo. Sound like your kind of party? --Good for your health? If not...

Remedies
-Christian --Jewish --black --Latino: Write --Gooey Boys in the White House --IRS --Republican National Committee making war on Americans and PROTEST selective targeting --ALL churches or NONE

-Justice Department: Ken Melman --should be indicted for dragging his politics into houses of worship

~Anne-thrax Colter: Sprinkles on 9-11 Bodies...

2006-09-01T23:30:00.000-07:00

This page originally posted: June 07, 2006 11:55 pm Reposted to reply to a Comment
"You know that woman Anne? She's blond and single and maybe someone will introduce her to OJ." --David Letterman.

What does it say about a Party that has a member: so needy, so Desperate for attention that her idea of appropriate behavior is to attack 9-11 widows?

Fame?
She caused the unnecessary death of trees to entomb demented thoughts in paper: She attacked four women, each of whom was married to a man murdered September 11. She "feels" they shouldn't use murder "to make political statements." Uhm...isn't that Precisely what she's doing? The women should be silent even though their husbands were part of mass murder and want to know why; shouldn't ask, but she Doesn't wonder or even have a somebody to mourn...? Why is it OK for her put down the women? Why is she using the grief and the outrage those women feel to get herself on TV to criticize them?

So: Don't rail that initial survivors of the Tower crashes were given fatally bad instructions, to go back up to offices and wait because firefighters were not informed to evacuate --worthless radio communication...mis-matched frequences; equipment Known to be inadequate years before September 11 attack, but not corrected, by indifferent Congress, indifferent to pleas for budget to correct the problems. Corrected now so police, firefighters, paramedics and ERs, in cities all over the US, can talk to each other on same frequency? Nope.

If your mate was murdered: you are not, according to Anne-thrax, supposed to question it, don't ask; don't demand answers, better protection, preparation, technology, training to prevent it happening again??? Don't be sad? Don't protest? Don't express anger??? Don't Ask What government employees knew, When they knew it??? Hmmm...so she must be Plenty sore, livid, crazed at outspoken heads, members of the committee which investigated the attack and presented recommendations to Congress? Hmmm...how come she didn't attack THEM? Too much Evidence too much for the poor dear?

Ah course, there is the other bit: if ol' Anney-poo attacked the Nine-Eleven Commission she would have had to use actual facts...then WHO would have booked her, how could she get her bones on camera, BS-oriented media being what it is, with it's infantile focus --what morning-drivel circus would give her any time? Did you catch the reptilian sneer as she whined/pretended she was being 'attacked'? Gag us with a spoon. Where's the barf bags....

Well, Poor scrawny thing. Maybe: she's upset there's little chance she could be a widow --cuz nobody will even date her? Listen Up, Guys: IF you are a True Patriot: give her some hope and Shut Her the hell up. Volunteer: Take the hungry beast out --jamb a corndog, some half-cooked pork, speed-slaughtered cheap beef --cram a pie into the pie-hole, let Nature go to work. The world has serious problems to deal with without a skrawny chicken plucking at the edges. Another black mark for Republican Party.

Remedies
-Hey Media: STOP polluting our airwaves, Stop pandering to right-wing whackos, STOP giving Anne-thrax air time; Producers: DO NOT BOOK HER

-Don't buy the chicken's book

-Register to Vote
-Make sure everyone in your circle is registered; get Registration forms, free, at the Post Office

They Already have plans to Steal the 2008 Election
-Call your local Registrar of Voters: DEMAND electronic voting machines
be removed, totally replaced either with Ink Dot machines or with chad-type ballot machines

Remember: over Three MILLION votes were NOT counted in 2004 "election" because, somehow, the governor of duh, Florida happened to put decades-long voters onto "Felon" rolls --Democratic-voting voters, who happened to be black; other ballots were put straight into the trash so they would not have to use valuable time counting them; other "mis-guided" voters had their votes 'corrected' with electronic voting machine easily-manipulated software manipulated, "for" Ohio voters.

9/11 + "full responsibility" = Three Strikes?

2006-08-30T00:00:00.000-07:00

The occupant of the Oval Office was in office for nineteen months when this country was attacked. One month before attack he received written briefing titled:

"Terrorists Want to Hijack Planes and Attack the US"

while he was on vacation. He continued to vacation. When he was informed that morning, September 11, that two planes had struck World Trade center: he kept on reading a book, to children. Then: he got into a plane and flew around for hours. Two NORAD fighter jets got in the air and went looking --in the wrong direction --After all four planes had already crashed. So much for the millions spent on "training" --on planes --on crew --on "technology" --on "defense." He failed to do even one thing to prevent the worst attack in US history.

FBI? They had an informant --living with two of the hijackers --several months before the attack. Field agents sent reports --on students who didn't want to learn how to land; requests for court order to examine suspicious people, computers; one sent over 70 e-mail requesting permission to pick up, question suspicious foreigner. FBI management: denied permission or ignored all.

One brilliant person --in FBI --connected all the dots of coordinated terrorist organization --long before US attack: forced out of FBI on minor infraction, management jealous, annoyed at his intelligence; John O'Neal subsequently took job: head of Security -World Trade Center, New York; died while working, September 11.

FBI, on No oversight by Republican majority in Congress, business as usual --without changes or up-dating, did use the attack --to secure additional budget for translators, showing they were 'short-handed' by: deleting translations done each previous day. They failed to share or to communicate with CIA or with Congress. Vigilance on domestic bank robberies: did not suffer.

Occupant went to New York, several days later, told mourning firefighters, police, grieving new orphans, widows, parents and the country: US government would strike those who attacked us. Three years, five months and several billion dollars later: nobody involved in the attack tried, arrested or even caught. The rest of the world, however, despises, fears, loathes us. Does that cause you to feel "safe" --are you safe?

In case they hadn't read a newspaper, watched TV, heard weather report, White House administration was given written and video notice that a really big hurricane, worst hurricane ever, was headed to Gulf Coast states. But "genius" puppeteer was on vacation; President of Vice: off fishing; Occupant: on vacation, as usual. The thirteenth person offered job of heading up nation's security: got on a plane --in the opposite direction, the day hurricane struck; then declared media coverage of damage, effect, devastation, after-affect was "over-blown, exaggerated." Occupant? Not watching any TV, so his staff prepared a tape --what happened to four of the 50 states he swore to protect.

He watched the tape --while survivors rescued off roofs, trudged through 5' high water sludge and debris to arrive at 'refuge' center --no water, food, hygiene facilities, medical care or even any cots. Pentagon nabs $420 billion bucks every year, but couldn't manage to spare any of it or use any Black Hawks or ordinary helicopters to air drop water or MREs to desperate survivors. That is our money. Would you like to sit in extreme heat, surrounded by filth --without water or food --for days? --A good thing for children?

Five entire days later: Occupant shambled on down to New Orleans to pat fed people on the back for "heck of a job." Later: his PR people grabbed available generators --so he could make a 'feel good' speech with attractive background lit up, seen by no one in the four states --without electricity, shelter or TVs.

Twelve months later: survivors have one foot 'at home' --one foot in relocation cities, rooted nowhere as they wait...for facts, answers, master plan, decisions, promised funds to rebuild, as thousands of gallons of water bubbles away daily out of broken pipes. They wait for electricity, just like Iraqis.... Only unlike Iraq: schools, hospitals, libraries --roads, pipes, pumps, levies haven't been repaired.

Occupant: took "full responsibility" for fed failure to get off their collective butts --get anything in gear. --Ya so, what's changed? --What's his penalty --what cost to him?

Where is Osama? Pentagon: headed by civilian, Donald Rumsfeld, chosen by Occupant, who has no military experience, ordered generals NOT to read After-War plans for Iraq, didn't have a problem with US military violating Geneva Conventions --or with prisoners standing for 12 hours a day; over-sees vast bloated top-heavy bureaucracy, that receives $420 Billion annually; protects no one but themselves, their budget; hasn't got Clue One how to secure peace in Iraq, protect US military or exit.

Occupant and his oil pals: used the military to attempt to loot Iraq --take its oil, while telling Americans, world: Iraq --"imminent threat" to this country. WHAT did Iraq or its leader have to do with September 11, 2001 attack on this country? Should our best, brightest die --to engorge some fat cats? Who should loose an eye --leg --hand --arm to enrich these people?

"Genius" puppeteer thinks, no doubt, that he is clever --for getting Oval Office occupant to blame Americans, at fault --for "addiction to oil." --Americans use oil instead of??? Where is: alternative? What is Penta-goofs using to run their fake war? These people have been occupying White House nearly SIX Years --where is alternative fuel --ideas, budget, incentive, engineers, scientists --PLAN for alternative fuel?

Question: if he and his posse failed to prevent attack --on one month's notice;
failed to respond --before or after to a natural disaster --when they had five full days notice
do we need a third disaster --to get it: these people have admitted --can't/ won't/ don't know how to protect --defend --or even prepare?

Entire country, all Americans put in jeopardy by invading a country, angering vast numbers of people in other countries; has not secured ports or transportation or chemical plants or oil refineries or airport cargo --nor captured those responsible for the attack --after five years.

We DON'T need government to swipe rights granted in the Bill of Rights, regulate religion, invade privacy, determine 'acceptable' personal behavior. Protecting citizens is primary reason for government. --That is entire purpose, to do for us --for the common good, that which we can not do individually. --But these people?

As they make midnight raids on Treasury, slipping pork into bills that gets bacon shipped 'back home' but violate fiscal responsibility, Republican principles, ethics, decency and future generations' ability to live decent safe life: How many more have to die --before we ALL get it?

2,617 Americans: will not come back from Iraq
62,000 Americans: wounded, maimed, permanently injured
100,000+ Iraqis: perished since American invasion
Treasury: $8 TRILLION debt --and soaring

Republicans can spend money, but they can't protect, defend Any body --but themselves. Isn't two strikes enough --to count Occupant, his administration and his employees, his Party, his Republican supporters in Senate, in House of Representatives out?

Remedies
-Republicans: not good for health

-Work with friends, neighbors and co-workers to Get electronic "vote" machines removed

-Start networking with neighbors to inform families of enlisted: to STOP voting for Republicans

War on Terrorists: Connecticut, PC Hwy, Oval Office...

2006-08-10T03:05:00.000-07:00

Sacramento...US Senate...House of Representatives....

Indiscriminate harm...to indiscriminate number of people...all kinds of terrorists.

It's a 'good thing' to shove American democracy --into another country? Bullets, bombs, severed limbs...on radar of The "Good" Democrat? --Gives a damn --working class, universal medical insurance, Democratic Party or its ideals --what it means --to everyone else, to have to live with the consequences of his arrogance? He was hired by all, but abetted insurance companies, huge accounting firms and fat cats. When they wanted something: he obliged. When he prevented SEC from protecting investors from un-indexed stock options: investors lost all their money --employees lost their job, their pension wiped out. His ignorance of which way is up and his ego short-circuited reality --Blaming others for his failure to represent --work for all, hire competent employees or to even pay 'smart' to have a proper website. He failed to pay attention to all, so Connecticut fired the "good." Refuses to accept getting fired: he filed to keep on running. If a company fired him and he refused to leave: they would see him as a direct threat, which the 'good' Democrat is. Just ask former employees of Enron --ones too senior, now, to get the thousands of hours over thousands of weeks back, when their pensions were wiped out --thanks to the 'good' Joe. His 'help' Even today: ask employees, watching fat management back-date stock options --to collect 300 --400 --500% more than average employee --with no restriction or even over-sight by SEC or any other agency, thanks to the "good" Joe --fair? Kiss of death....

Pours so much booze down his gullet --moans, groans, whines he's drunk --yet speeds 2,000 lb lethal weapon down a highway, mountain one side, houses butted up against the other. How much would you pay --not to be on the road --in the opposite direction? A couple of sad parents would have paid any amount --for their young intelligent beautiful daughter not out the night a drunk struck her car --a boozed up drunk "celebrating" --for hours, the day end of World War II was announced. This author's young aunt lived --in a coma --at home --four and half years, then died.

A drunk --speeding a vehicle --is 'special'? People get dead, daily, by such self-absorbed infantile irresponsible putrid punks. The people left behind, who have to find a way to go on, Don't think: "special." But If you have 'fame' you resent laws --for everyone --applied to you. So instead of taking it like a man: you turn ugly --vicious --core of your brain: leaks. Prison time --if black, brown, poor? --Straight line, no stops, no Get-Out-of-Jail free card. --A famous drunk Entitled to special privileges? --City Attorney of Los Angeles thinks so: drunk charged only with minor offenses --NOT even for speeding 84 miles an hour in 45 mph zone.

Prison --for the rich --the white --the famous boozers? Chump: The judge, the City Attorney, the smooth overly-paid mouth-piece: will all join hands --and see that drunk terrorist who got behind a wheel --won't see a day inside jail. Proof? The day after the anti-Semitic terrorist tried to evade arrest on Pacific Coast Highway and was oh-so-gently carried around Malibu: another man didn't want to be stopped by police either, only he wasn't speeding or drunk, he was caught: DWB, that's Driving While Black. He didn't do quite as well as the rich terrorist, he got: dead --shot courtesy of LAPD, his car sliced full of bullets at close range, he un-armed. [NOTE: LAPD just returned the dead man's car to his family; if he had been a threat: why didn't LAPD retain bullet-laced car as evidence?] You want to defend a drunk --well-aware he had too much booze --to drive --but got behind wheel anyway? Think long, hard --about what you are 'defending' --and why.

Use nation's trees --oceans --parks --Guard to line your bank account --and your pal's pockets --to prove you are a man --gosh, too bad if some get their hands, legs, arms, feet blown off? When you are not man enough to even attend a funeral --of even one of the people pulled out of a farm, a police station, a junior college --duped by your scam --makes YOU part of the problem. Telling lies: To grieving parents, mate, young children, community, country, Congress left behind: makes you a terrorist.

Molest --rape --pay off --those dependent for a job; use fame, money, secret deals, publicity, expensive lawyers, connections to steal office --shove your ego through a state's legislature --then through the ballot box, with a $70 MILLION dollar tab attached, on already broke state: you're a terrorist.

Shove public's money, future --Giving welfare to wealthiest, drug makers, banks, oil boys, insurance companies, accounting firms...makers of violence machinery --military war mongers: Don't see a 'prob' --with sticking Americans with the bill? --Striping Americans of rights --invading privacy --while avoiding court over-sight? --Enabling toxins, pollutants, gases, incompetence, arrogance to further heat up the planet: makes you a terrorist --a war criminal.

Nine BILLION bucks 'disappeared' out of Iraq...All kinds of terrorists --all over the place.

Warning: if you imagine US Treasury your piggy bank, pretend to care about Minimum Wage while taking NINE pay raises, jet around in our plane to pick up bags of money covered by phony speeches: We were NOT put on the earth to be used, abused, ripped off, killed for the benefit of others. Stuck on stupid and incompetent, obey extreme right-wing ideology and right-wingers: Without justice, fairness, decency there can be no good life --no health --no peace. We didn't start 'war on terrorists' --but: we will finish it. We will NOT tolerate terrorists among us.

One more down, several to go....

Lierberman: Doesn't Want Americans to Know?

2006-08-07T22:31:00.000-07:00

[ If this is hard to read: click on "View" above and scroll to "text size" and change]

Joe Lieberman wants to keep his job. For past several years his job: working for residents of Connecticut in the US Senate. How’s he done? Many residents are angry enough at Mr. Lieberman, to want to fire him, angry enough to hire someone else. –If you don't live in Connecticut What does that have to do with you? Does it matter if Connecticut keeps him? Giant Yes.

First: many residents are angry about this country’s involvement in Iraq. Did Mr. Lieberman vote “FOR” starting a war in Iraq? Nope. What he did: far worse. Joe Lieberman voted: to give away his authority to declare war –to the Executive branch. The person occupying Oval Office: kissed him, at the end of “State of the Union” speech, by way of thanks for his support. Ah… The Kiss of Death. –But he was not alone. Nearly every other Senator voted away their responsibility: 98 Senators voted to let someone else do their job, only the Senators of Wisconsin and Louisiana did not. That means: legally and technically the US is NOT in a war with Iraq –we invaded Iraq, since the Articles of War were not enacted.

Second: Connecticut residents are angry about the “Patriot” Act. Only several weeks after US was viciously attacked by cowards on September 11, 2001, Congress was presented with a ‘package’ –supposedly to protect the country –delivered not in the morning, mid-day, afternoon or evening, but the night before the vote. It was some 1,500 pages long. It came with a side of: ‘if you are patriotic loyal American you will vote “FOR” the “Patriot” Act. How was this Administration able –to produce such a specific and long and detailed convoluted rape of Americans’ rights –so quickly? No one asked…the answers belong in another post. Number of Senators who read the Act that slashed Rights given to you in the Bill of Rights –before they voted on it? Zero.
Senator Joe Lieberman voted: “FOR” the Act of ‘Patriotism’ –so did 97 others. Only the Senators of Wisconsin, Feingold, and Louisiana, Landry, did not.

Okay, so Senator Joe Lieberman was no worse than the other 97 (out of 100) Senators who shirked their responsibility and voted “For” someone else to decide war and “FOR” striping us of our rights. So what’s the beef? Long time readers of this blog know: this blog is for, about you –this author does not use first person singular. I make an exception for Joseph Lieberman. What do his votes, his running with the pack, have to do with you –if those votes were no worse than what most Senators did?

Third: one day Joseph Lieberman picked up a phone and changed life for Americans. I fumed when it happened. I was outraged. MANY were outraged. There was not Thing One we could do to stop him —or the result. Short version, it goes like this: He called the head of Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, and told the head, basically, ‘back off’ and if he didn’t, SEC would get its budget cut. Result? SEC backed off, Senate passed bill Joe Lieberman wrote: business was changed. What did those actions mean, what does it have to do with you? If I skip over all the details, even the highlights, it meant: Enron. What Enron did –hiding its losses –wiping out value for stockholders –destroying pensions of long-time and new employees, and how corporations function –now –is on Joseph Lieberman’s head.

Why did he pick up the phone –write the bill that changed how corporations account for stock options? –The obscene amount of money the oily boys get? Because large accounting firms asked him –and his pal Chris Dodd, to interfere in SEC laws, looking out for investors, stockholders and allowing loopholes. See: Connecticut is chock full of insurance companies, giant accounting firms, big shots –with money. The head of SEC did not stand up to Lieberman, because he said he was afraid they would cut his budget and he would loose good SEC lawyers he had left. Lieberman and Dodd got gifts when it was over –big cash gifts. They don't call it that in Washington though, they class it up with "donation" –so everybody looks like the decent folk. Dodd got $250,000 though he wasn't up for re-election. But: The amounts were chump change, compared to amount corporations get to keep, not taxed, because of it. Joe Lieberman Hopes: you don't know anything about what he did in the 1990s that affects Every person in the US. Big boys get stock options; stockholders have to pay for them; workers: get none, they get screwed.

Joe Lieberman: has the arrogance to claim he is a “good” Democrat. If residents of Connecticut don’t think so: he will re-register, if he looses, and run for the Senate as an “Independent.” THIS is the arrogance of Joe Lieberman and many many others in the US Senate. He believes he is Entitled to the job. He Doesn’t Get It.

Voters: need to choose someone who will represent ALL residents of the state. Then: we need to boot Chris Dodd and EVERY other person taking up space in the US Senate and House of Representatives who has represented corporations –and used/ignored everyone else to fund their lifestyle while being indifferent to non-wealthy middle class and working people.

I ask Connecticut voters: Do NOT vote for Joe Lieberman. Do NOT choose arrogance. It is OUR turn to have our say about being used –screwed –abused by people who OWE us, the voters, even if we are not wealthy.

Remedy: Choose someone else to represent you in the Senate.

Next piece of business: we fund elections with public money so our representatives don’t turn into whores. Then we go after salaries our reps are paid.

Please Vote NO on Joseph Lieberman. We can do better.

Interfered with SEC - abetted Enron - Pensions, jobs, stock value wiped out - documented by: PBS.org

He authored an "investigation" of SEC --for failing to protect investors. They "failed" when Lieberman threatened SEC if they didn't back off of Enron over indexing stock options. "Slate" wrote about the report and the hypocrisy: here

Cheap Gas + Soy Beans + FBI = "Terrorists"???

2006-07-27T20:32:00.000-07:00

Remember the fairytales --about the bad guys about to send "mushroom cloud" over your head --expose little children to destruction, death on American soil --if we didn't stop them? --Lots, you(?) voted "For" the guys who told fairytale 'news' and promised protection. Well, the whacky-doodles are back: with a Brand New story for ya, cuz like it worked before, and gosh, there's another election a'comin, dontcha know, and don't You want Protection?

Set in the land where oil, gas --lots of it, comes out of the ground cheap --world's lowest price. But it's controlled by people who don't much care for the whacky-doodles. The Doodles don't like it when people don't like them...so they went next door: rang the money bell door and said: 'let us in and we will pay you, keep us out --we will cut off your income and make trouble. Lo and Behold: the little neighbors let the Big Bad Wolf and all their trainees in, and Behold money poured in along with Army, Navy, Marine trainees and 'How To' manuals.

But to "fight" those "terrorists" and win the Doodles will need some things: more money --and more silence from Congress; more bullets, more guns, more spies, more help from local police to control locals; more of their water, more control of their minds --and yours, but fewer laws and fewer people snooping --and those manuals. --'How to get dirt poor farmers off the dirt; how to enrich soy producers; how to control crowds; how to place bullets for maximum effect'...to convince others --there 'certainly' is Hezbollah Terrorists --in them thar hills of Paraguay....

You're wondering: what about the last 'Really bad guy --terrorists, Osama bin Forgotten & Co'? Well, it's not polite or patriotic to ask, President of Vice will tell you...they looked, they can't find him, quit asking --if they get to keep control of Congress they prolly Could/Will/Maybe/FerSure find him...five years isn't that long to hunt....

So: Wanna see the Doodles of DC fight new "terrorists" --in a tiny defenseless country --so the Doodles can get you more cheap oil, more cheap gas --seized from the big country next door? Well Don't start hoping --yet, they haven't made any promises. --But with your silence --focus on working, paying bills and not watching the Doodle Party, they just might maybe could --see If they could get control of the oil and the gas next door, and fight those bad guys --that Must be in those hills.

Well, if they win this New Important "fight" --they aren't sure, yet, what the price will be.... Wanna help? Care to make a contribution to their cause? Well the Whacky-Doodles could use your --vote, in November --and some donations to the Party --to keep those new bad guys out --of tiny, big and this country --they are just Sure, have moved to South America.... Or --you Could remember the saying: Fool me once --shame on me; Fool me twice --go to Hell.
Get the Hell out of Paraguay.

Remedies
-Before buying Soy -beans -milk -ice cream: find out where the soybeans came from; too hard to do: only buy local-grown, made products produced within 50 miles of your home, supporting local farmers. If the wealthy soybean growers in Paraguay have less international market: maybe they will stop stabbing, shooting, burning native farmers to get their land and stop burning old forests to clear more land for soybeans.

-Write to your Senator, your House Rep: demand hearing --on FBI and US military activity in Paraguay; on exactly what the Pentagon is doing, why massive money and troops shifted there. --"Surprise" attack on Venezuela --just before election?

-Register to vote --this week

-Contact your local Registrar of Voters: demand electronic "vote" machines be removed,
replaced with Ink Dot or with Paper ballots

Hey Religious, Right-wingers, Rednecks: Plan?

2006-07-18T07:38:00.000-07:00

Majority of voters: picked Democrat the first time. You? You picked the guy ‘most wanted to have a beer with.’ Your guy: lost. –L-O-S-T the election, so he ran to court to get himself selected –he didn’t mind Those “activist judges.”

Second time: You voted for Beer-buddy again. –But in case not enough of you: his pals hired ex and retired agents, with badges, who fanned out to Ohio counties and eleven other states, while a check for $29 million bucks sailed off to offshore bank –for them. The ex agents kicked out poll workers and, thanks to Diebold CEO, “counted” wherever there were Diebold “election” machines. Results: even where majority Democrat your guy “got” 80%. But their paychecks never arrived (how stupid was that), so angry ex agents went blabbing all over DC. Your reps, Lots of people in DC know all about it, but don't wait on any hearings.

Real results? Finest scientific pollsters in the world hired to do exit polls Proved –majority –in All states, voted for the Democratic candidate. Not elected: first or second time. Ya, All of us stuck with him, but YOU actually voted for him, so tell us: what is The Plan?

Over 55 million working-class, singles, middle-class families –plus 35,000 GM workers who just got “retired”: NO medical insurance. –Too bad –cuz you got yours? Okey dokey, no plans to get cancer –any disease? You eat correctly –got no gut –no reason to worry about stroke, heart attack? –Don’t know The Dick so no risk catching buckshot or Bird Flu? So if you, your family gets in a car crash –ambulance can’t take you to nearest hospital –cuz it went bankrupt and closed –and so did the farthest hospital, after treating people who had no insurance –where will you be going?

The Plan for covering all Americans with low-cost medical insurance?

North Korea doesn’t like your pal much –dislikes him so much he put missiles on launch pads –aimed at Japan, China and guess what, US West Coast and fired off eight. What now? Well, gosh your pal doesn’t know, cuz: your pal hired his pal to run the agency that should know, but his pal did the job so poorly Lots of people quit. –Plus nobody thought to hire any agents who speak Korean, silly us, so we’re deaf and dumb about North Korea. So? North Korea Told your pal the Answer –but Good Ol’ boy –too busy –too scared to listen? We aren’t that comfortable with rockets pointed at us –first time EVER, but No Face to Face talk. More Missiles –sitting ready to launch –Loaded with nuclear warheads?

So What now? –The Plan to deal with North Korea?

He had Plenty to say –to New York firefighters, orphans, widows, parents and world and we know he’s been busy but: what exactly happened to –Osma Plan? –Remember –Osma bin Forgotten? –The guy your guy claims pulled off First/Only attack on the country? He did have time to arrange for 182 Saudis to be picked up all over the country –flown out September 13, only plane allowed to fly –without even one interrogated by FBI. But: WHERE is that guy?

Osama? –Followers? Hatred that caused attack –dozens more since? Ring any bells/alarms? The Osama Plan?

We get that he’s busy, what with all the trips –Camp David chilling –Crawford clearing brush –around the country picking up money –plus choosing pals, qualified or not, for jobs. But Number One beer buddy made promises to Afghanistan. Hospitals –schools –bridges –hell, a City Hall, roads? Well, Afghans are industrious people –when they saw not happening, didn’t even have food or houses they went to work. –Planted Largest poppy crop in history; should bring in nice piece of change when the world buys the opium they made out of it. But: If there’s another earthquake or Taliban comes back –oops, Taliban already back, controls two entire regions –beating women, again, if not covered or try to go to school…. So we’re gonna do what about their infrastructure? –Drug dealing? Violation of human rights? Democracy?

–The check is the mail or what? The Plan for Afghanistan?

We admit tricky keeping up: WMD, then “grey cloud” –‘nasty guy’ –“yellow cake” –dictator –‘nasty dictator could attack a neighbor’ –then “tubes” –that “couldn’t be for any other purpose but our destruction” –gosh how embarrassing: just tubes. Oh well. –Next: to liberate the people –then “to bring democracy.” –Whew, but Best Bud: chose a guy to run everything who didn’t have much military experience, not battle –war –strategy –combat –training or efficiency experience, none actually, but he could stand for 12 hours so why couldn’t prisoners bagged on no evidence do the same, he wrote. Yup, but: hasn’t worked out too well in Iraq, now that we have “liberated” Iraqis. Some got liberated –right into the same prison “really bad guy” liberated them and then US military tortured them; some got their front door kicked in; some raped; some got dead. Others getting US army training: why is it ‘taking’ three years, four months to do what Army does in twelve weeks in the US?

Ex Chief of Joints –Dickey Meyers had experience, but too busy telling Secretary of “Defense” what he wanted to hear? –No time to round up enough water –goggles –food –bullets –vests –working weapons –or even maps, intel or translators??? Sheesh...he way did know there would be bombs –so why flimsy transport? Maybe the 28,900+ who came home without legs, arms, hands, eyes, feet won’t be too upset with him, but he took off, “retired” fast, but we still know.... Wudda been nice though, if he cudda stopped nuzzling Secretary's ear long enough to read all/any of those Prepared Papers –‘How to Handle the Peace’ that Secretary o’ “Defense” Ordered generals NOT to read….

Country with 5,000 years of history –brains, education, sophistication to “build WMD” “needs” outside contractor to re-build what they built in the first place, in Their own country? WHY did President of Vice hire his former employer for that –on No Bid, No Compete contract, violating federal law? The Plan: the feds don't have to obey federal laws?

If the “contractor” is so good: Why isn’t anybody lined up along the borders –stopping weapons, money, suicide bombers from entering? If the “contractor” is so unique, so special: Isn't $100. for each pound of military laundry high, considering they didn't wash anything? They billed for hot, but delivered cold food Why? US Military actually needs five kinds of cake? All that how they cleared $11 billion bucks out of US Treasury?

How did $9 Billion get “disappeared” out of Iraq? Your Best Bud: hasn't put nickel one into building, repairing US schools, so why is he spending our tax money to build schools in Iraq? Iraqis can't figure out how to build schools?

Any Plan –for Secretary of “Defense” –to get on his knees –beg forgiveness for incompetence? –Arrogance? –Kidnapping –on no evidence, shipping to countries that don’t got a prob with torture? How about for disgracing Americans? –Trying to slash VA benefits –while troops in the middle of invading Iraq? –Ignoring international treaties, US law –decency? How about: he apologizes to Americans for shaming us? Oh, well maybe the 50,000+ returning without ability to cope, function won’t mind?

If an Iraqi mother gets dead –Is she less dead if US military killed her instead of ex dictator? –News to US military: Plenty don't like oil-hungry country occupying their country Plan?

The “kisses and rose petals” thing hasn’t worked out too well. –Electricity –security –peace –clean water –democracy for Iraq when? –“Family values” –on US military –When? The mysterious Iraq Plan ends when?

By the time last President left town: over $300 Billion in our bank. Your guy ripped through that in less than a year and spent so much more the debt is $7.8 TRILLION, biggest of any country in history. If he keeps it up for his last two years: you plan on still calling him “conservative”? Just exactly How Much: will be enough for your good pal and his pals?

Begging countries to loan us money: If China and Japan stop coming to our weekly debt auctions, who do we borrow from? How do we keep on paying the bills? Any body thinking of slashing Pentagon's budget to something normal/reasonable/other than 400 times the size of any other country?

The Plan for getting out of giant debt hole?

Your choice hasn’t gotten around to choosing ambassador for Syria –Lebanon; we also don’t got a way to talk to Iran –they don’t like us much, either. So no go talking to a slew of rocket-firing unhappy campers. –Kidnappers, armed with rockets, vowing to wipe out an ally –a country of six million, now fighting on two fronts, facing some 60 million who hate them.

Middle East: about to Explode –into Major War. The Plan to stop the fighting, get peace?

Your religious choice claims he’s for “family” values –so promising, so promising to give Africa $15 billion to fight AIDs: cool? –Shipping just $1 Billion –to one religion’s charity –which is distributing
“Just Say No to Sex” brochures –and condoms: not that cool. Plus: it like doesn’t do that much for the children –with AIDs, without parents. Condoms don’t cure as well. Or The Plan: hundreds of thousands of orphans will get “family values” and die before they can use the condoms? Well: What IS The African AIDs Plan? The other $14 billion?

Planet heating up faster than even ten-year old predictions. –Polar bears not reproducing, can’t find hard-pack ice or food. Asthma: soaring from pollutants –ice caps melting, disappearing. You and your family don’t mind –113 degrees in Arizona AND in Los Angeles –two months early; Mile High City Denver, New England –makes quite a change; North Dakotans a bit confused; but no problemo on Mid-West, Texas drought?

They cudda used some of the water that reached 96 feet on the east coast during worst flood in five decades. Any Plan to cool things off? –stop the pollutants? –Or the 38,000 leases written before the “election,” handed out following morning? Well maybe the oily boys won’t steal All the water of the residents this time. But: Any thing left in the budget for earthquakes –tornadoes –hurricanes –droughts –flooding –infrastructure repair? One HELL of a job ol' Gail is doing, on our parks, waterways, wetlands, mines, forests. Well maybe this will be the First year NONE of those happen?

If we ask nicely: can we get some of their stored oxygen, clean water, cold air? –Surely they’ve got extra –along with safe spot, in case whatever The Plan A is for nuclear bombs fails….

Your man in DC: doesn’t mind when pals place “Help Wanted” ads –in Mexican newspapers –he’s cool with Mexicans and with helping pals make more money. But the country does seem a tad crowded –with all those who don’t speak English, keen to work for low wages. They do walk quickly though, after a car crash; that cross-registration stuff hard to explain. But considering that Congress just got their Sixth raise in SIX years—$18,000 all together—they can’t get it up –to raise Minimum Wage fifth year in a row??? You don’t got a problem with that?

So what’s The Deal –we are supposed to just keep head down, mouth shut, take leftover job illegals don’t want, at low pay, whatever job hasn't been shipped out of the country, is The Plan?

OK, so How long does No Raise Minimum Wage Plan last? How long till “business can afford” to stop lining their pockets, avoid pension and medical insurance benefits? –Just a hint will do, so everybody else can like make plans, get a loan, take a third job, whatever.

You picked two oil men –so the oily boys are happy, Love their pensions –and you’re cool with price of gas, right? Well for the record: the rest of us Way Not that happy getting slapped around –with “addict” label and grocery-sucking price.

Do Share: Gas Price Plan? –Our Christmas “present” this year: oil at $100. bucks a barrel –gas at $4. –$4.50 a gallon? Do we have the right to refuse service on that Plan? Let us know, cuz if that’s where you/they are headed: we’re gonna have to start stocking food Now –or finding passage to South America.

ETA when pristine parts of Alaska get ripped? Will that be coordinated with when gas hits $4.50 so we will HAVE to search –like for “national security” or: rip Alaska to save us from “terrorists”? Which Plan will they go for?

Interfering with brain-dead women –fiddling with the flag –mid-night spending raids on projects, into next three generations...Packing courts with right-wingers –welfare for drug-makers, credit card banks, insurance pals –$1 million bucks a day interest on debt –ignoring port security –trying to sell ports...shoe-checks on grandparents –hate disguised as “family values” to cheat some out of rights –spying on bank accounts, phone calls, e-mail without court supervision...spy agencies in worse shape than pre 9-11 without adding budget, agents or translators –deleting Americans' Constitution rights. We get it these are Important for your dear pal & co. But since you chose them and they aren’t for governing for all, or even telling us, non-owners of corporations, could you, the religious –the right-wingers –the lovers of incompetence like tell us: WHAT THE HELL IS THE PLAN?

Remedies
-We need a Democrat –a brains, guts, honest, smarts Franklin Roosevelt Democrat in the White House, slew in The House and the Senate –to repair the damage, restore dignity; other countries believe what we say –stand for things that Matter. Current Oval Office occupant: name a Single Thing he's done that you are not ashamed of? Beatings, false imprisonment, withholding of evidence, spying on citizens, throwing a pregnant grunt into prison, but not officers –using a religion to meet financial goals: way Does NOT count.

-We need EVERY damn electronic “voting” machine removed from EVERY precinct in the US. That trash not removed –Before election day: no reason to vote.

-Get the book: “Take It Back” by James Carville. Link above left, library or borrow from a friend. After you’ve read it: go to work.

This country is on a precipice. We can put the country back on a budget –get out of debt –slash the bloated government –join rest of the world to stop pollution and warming destruction. Religion is a private thing –must be Kept private –in houses of worship –NOT single/One religion dragged into governing for ALL. We CAN restore our quality of life; our reputation.

We CAN’T have a “drug” agency shoveling toxins, chemical laden water, food –protecting corporations. We CAN’T have incompetent departments, agencies, House of Representatives, Senate, Oval Office management.

Healthy restorative quality of life? We can Not afford division –deceit –politics –policies –politicians that harm. We are NOT going to have 1% wealthy –99% groveling. If his mother rescued from attic, dropped into hall: left there –without water, food, bathroom facilities SEVEN days? –HER home, town still in shambles eleven months after?

The Reptile can go to Los Angeles, Every hall in the country where Hispanics are gathered and Beg for new members. He can slither into Deep South, apologize for sending his toadies to disrespect black people, tossing ballots in the trash –beg them to join his Party. But get a Clue: They/You HAD turn –beatings, destruction, deaths, bungling, violations: O-V-E-R. We have way more Proof than we need: We CAN NOT HAVE REPUBLICANS in charge ANY MORE. THAT Is The Plan. GET on Board or Get the Hell out of the way.

Question: Name three things that went wee wee wee all the way to reporters...till BOOM –ran smack into blizzard of paper that will catapult into a courtroom.... Plaintives can't loose, one way or another....

Has White House administration already picked out a Christmas present for The Go-Cart –not a pudding, but a big fat Pardon? If true that would be hideous –and glorious...cuz if the Go-Cart gets Pardoned: that would mean whomever is hiding under the rocks would get a Giant Spotlight...Somebody would HAVE to slither out/get tagged for blabbing to blabby reporter Novak, et al.... All of it would be fun to watch, if it weren't for the bombs, bullets, bodies, explosions, hate soaring all over the world....

What Did we do to get such as him inflicted on once-decent country? For his avarice, incompetence, arrogance; failure to advocate for ALL Americans, including non-owners of corporations; lead, govern, tell the truth, or have even a single good idea for anything: May historians give him Every thing he has coming. May we all live long enough to see it....

Remedies
-Take a News Break: leave off knowing what's happening with Israel, Afghanistan, North Korea, Russia, Iran, India; deficit, gas price –at least for 24 hours; it will still be going on when you return, but refreshed, less intense
-Find something beautiful to look at: a tree, a bird, moving water; go into a flower shop, inhale deeply, exit with a least one fragrant flower
-If you're not near a museum: pop into library, check-out a book on great art or castles or gardens
-Lie down on grass, arms out, watch clouds –until crick in your neck is gone, shoulders relax
-Move more; eat lightly, well, at home; enjoy all those summer fruits –you'll miss them in winter
-Buy extra berries: spread out on pie pan or plate, put into freezer; when frozen: put into leftover glass jar with lid (i.e., jar from pickle or peanut butter), return to freezer; savor in winter

[When Blogger shut down for hours, then whole days in April and again in May, with no notice, no explanations, no estimated times of repair: though completely missing the Tech gene, I decided to figure out How to Create my own Website, hosted, so this wouldn't happen any more.

Small Penis? Cure: Vote for a Republican?

2006-07-10T14:30:00.000-07:00

Not likely to free willy –pull a Fully Monty at, say the exclusive private club in Northern California where the wealthy boys run free? –Don't want neighbors, pals, co-workers to know about teeny weenie? Not to worry: you can still Feel like a hunk –ever so manly, by voting for a Republican –any Republican.

If you put it out there –Republicans will reward you. They will see it –that you get some jollies out of a war, or rather: watching others get off –to war. You can get a vicarious thrill –out of the blood, guts, glory, hand-to-hand combat. –Heck, if you scoot fast enough: you can watch videos, in your own home –on the evening news. You can Feel like one of the Big Boys –every night. Republican members always put it on the line; members put their membership up –for combat –with somebody, somewhere. You can count on them, to hook you up. That's how they get some, on the side, for campaigns. With the back, forth, back, forth with others –not a problem, it's easy to get up for the hard battle –puffing it up is good business –and good for business, for pals.

Maybe once picked-on weaklings –but now: wimp, limp no more, multi-deferred Bully Boys look out for their pals –they'll look out for you, maybe even in distant lands.

Course, you won't be able to do other things, but a member –sliding in with the Big Boys, will get you in on the down low –to contribute –to Big Boys club pension, you know $400 million-buck pensions aren't just lying around, has to be sucked –from somebody.

So what if you can't pull it off –low cost medical insurance? Well, what is the problem –a $65 Billion Lay? –Delay in ejaculating plans on Indian tribes, homosexuals, lobbyists, Democrats? Heck no, whatever keeps it flowing, not hot air, but rock hard easy with Republican members –strutting their stuff –out and about getting it on –in full power, they can always get it up –when it's Party time.

Plus you can feel good there's no shyness –getting it out there –how they feel about homosexuals. Heck, sometimes they get head –of any religion, to do it –for them. They got no problem either –how else do you picture they can bend all those bottoms over all those barrels –to pick at the pockets of the ignorant in all those mega churches.

The Big Boys are a serious lot –oh, they'll dick around occasionally –with colors, to add to the pot, but never blue, cheerfully looking for new members.

–Kiddie porn –pedophiles –instead of terrorists? Hell no, they stay on the hunt, where the Really big money is, and anyway it's no fun, when you already know where to hunt –which church has the molesters. If they made war on pornography instead of on terrorists, pals wouldn't be able to sock it to them –cut off the top –they pull in, daily, to share with good buddies. So don't worry, be happy –nothing really bad will happen, the Big Boys packed –courts all over the US are loaded with Good Ol' boys, who know: boys just want to have fun. Plus everybody knows: kids can't vote.

Limp? Flaccid? Stuff happens, but when it does: you can show your patriotism and help the cause –just whip it out –get that credit card going on some good ol' USA porn. The Party will appreciate your contribution. Let the good times roll.

Wiener deflated –more like burger patty? Join the Party and Run with the Big Boys –maybe try to grab one –a seat for yourself. Really show: you can send up rockets with the best of them, even if a few fizzle in space or bleed Treasury dry. Only little people will quibble about the size –of the hole it blows, in the deficit.

After a member joins: if you're good, very good, at swinging, you might get an invitation to hit on some balls –swinging in expensive places around the world, on other people's tab. But what are a few balls, between friends, who is going to check out size –when there's opportunity to peep private e-mails –bank records –phone call transcripts –able to look down –on little ones, who don't get the member thing. –Members Must protect their interests, and the Boys in the Republican hood have Lots of interests....

If you extend yourself –really put it out there, you might even get invited to get into tall grass –with the major Dick –knock back some booze and get off some –cocks –bulls, Big Boy heads aren't picky, they love to squeeze off a few, to relieve the tension, when things get tight.

So don't hold back, screw size, just put it out there. If you want to cop that deep male feeling –show everybody you're All Male –run with the pack. –Big Boy Republicans, they don't know the meaning of the word “no” –they're bottoms up, all the time, and they'll have you coming –back, for ever more....

Remedies
–For proving you don't have a teeny weenie?
As Biggest Boy works it –roams the globe doing eyeball exams –so he's never around for military funerals: Put it out there –no, not just letters to the Good Ol’ Boys in the House, haul it –to the border; jump on those bricks, build on the great wall –Prove you're all male –on those stiffs –working for Minimum Wage.

–For those dressed in black who went door to door to pull women, children, fathers out of their homes over the week-end –murdered for being part of “wrong” Iraqi sect?
Well you could get your ‘male’ on by: bitching about the press –for reporting 41 murdered, 24+ who somehow got to hospitals, the dozens who got blown up in car bombs –but not reporting on the good stuff. –You'd look like a real hero, to the ‘Big’ Boys –joining you warming benches, and asses, in nooks and crannies at home.

Lay –Delay –Betray?

2006-07-05T09:25:00.000-07:00

Think those people get away with everything –don’t have to pay? Ken Lay, convict –First Pal of Oval Office occupant: got dead last night.

Lay and his thugs, among many acts: shut off the electrical grid –until Californians agreed to pay astronomical amount far in excess of prevailing rate. –Then magically: ‘urgent’ maintenance ended, electricity back on. Employees of First Pal Lay, who loaned his jet to the occupant, so he could hop around the country to pick up more money –laughed about elderly adults, surgeons, business owners, families, students –in the dark, frantic. –People had to fork over hundreds of dollars –every week, just to keep lights, fridge on.

The governor of California didn’t think it was so funny. He filed suit against Lay and Enron with evidence of what they had done. Scared that he would loose, Lay and three others: cut a deal with a 3rd rate actor –to put him in the governor’s office. After the actor slid behind the desk of the governor's office: he “agreed” to accept $.05 for every dollar Lay and Enron thugs got from shutting off the electricity, promptly signed. Agreement = dead lawsuit.

Lie, cheat, steal –thousands of days of hard work of thousands –without punishment? Ding~Dong~the Wicked B******s~Dead...Every employee who ever worked at Enron should sue Skillings and Lay’s estate for Breach of Contract. Then Mrs. Lay can begin figuring out: how to live in one house, acquire humility.

Ken Lay –convicted thief: Dead.

The Universe has the Last Word. Six down, dozens to go….

Hot Dog Eating Contest?

2006-07-04T17:30:00.000-07:00

Did you see it –4th of July Hot Dog eating contest in New York, on the news?

If you are outside the US:
-HOT DOG: made of ground up pig's snout, tail, ears, unmentionable parts, added to parts of cows most sober people also wouldn't eat, added to some sort of cereal, other things, sugar, shoved into casing of pig's intestine

-CONEY ISLAND: long-time amusement resort, beach, off the coast of New York, long-used to escape intense summer heat, humidity

-EATING CONTEST: thought up by a maker of hot dogs, decades ago, as a way to promote his brand; sell more hot dogs; object: publicity –for most consumed in fastest time

Which part of this contest amusing? Gluttony attractive? American gluttony somehow special? We don't have enough of a bad image around the world –we need to show off how much we can speed eat? It is stunning Americans can experience September 11 yet still be insensitive to what the world thinks of us. The people who put on, publicized, entered, replayed that ‘contest’ somehow haven't heard of Darfur? Even if none of them can point to it on a map, they don't know millions of people are frantically searching for food –all over the world? --Some risking rape in the search? If you’re thinking of comedian David Letterman: he is also dead wrong for photographing food thrown off studio rooftop to show it hitting pavement.

Even if what goes into producing hot dogs is ignored—believe it: labels don't/ don't have to state all the ingredients—why shovel in massive quantities of un-needed food? How pathetic a life –to help a manufacturer brand a product. No director of any TV station –realized it was too disgusting to run –wasn’t news?

Can one person make a difference? At least one: should have had brains/ ethics/sensitivity/decency enough to call the contest producers on what they were doing –protested; not thrown it up on TV –certainly not as “news.” Oval Office occupant apparently not the only one who engenders shame for stupidity.

Low-Cost Medical Ins: Set to Launch?

2006-07-03T04:14:00.000-07:00

Have you purchased medical insurance at a low cost for yourself –family –children? Why don’t you have low-cost insurance? US is a "super" country –to some: a country "superior" to all others? Then: why haven't our representatives in Washington provided us, their constituents, with medical insurance –at least as good, as affordable as that of poor countries? –At least as good as the insurance that covers them and their families? Why do a bunch of corporate profit-motivated White House pals get to decide: if your spouse gets treatment –your child gets surgery –you live/die –how much you will pay for the "privilege" of what should be basic protection?

If –IF your ballot wasn’t tossed into the trash/changed electronically, you followed what your religious leaders told you to do: voted FOR the current White House administration? Then: Why aren't they looking out for you, your neighbors –ALL Americans? WHY don't we have universal medical insurance –affordable?

One place to look for answers: NASA. Oval Office occupant is willing to borrow massive amounts of money, EVERY day, give it to space program –Why? They shoot rockets into space, look around, write down minutia (boring facts), leave junk. Why? –Of no use to Your health, on This planet.

If scientists, current administration Actually cared: they would be looking for answers below –in the sea, not off in space. Shooting off rockets: strictly Boys and Their Toys game. Think about it: after spending billions to send off dozens of rockets –have they learned A Single thing that has changed anything that matters on This planet?

–As you watch them launch billions of bucks –up –up and away –off into space –but YOU don't have any medical insurance? Religious leaders –occupant –administration –Republicans in Congress –looking out for us, we the people, doing that?

–If you are emergency patient needing heart –head –multi-organ treatment, but no medical insurance: doctors in ER have no specialist to call. –Specialists: when they know they won’t be paid for costly treatment –won’t answer a page. What will you/your family do then?

Of the people who file for bankruptcy: 80 to 90% do it because they can’t pay enormous medical bills, but most had medical insurance –that ‘somehow’ did not cover the bills. Reaction from Congress? They changed bankruptcy laws –made it Much harder to FILE for bankruptcy –NOT easier to pay the bills. What does that tell you –Who asked them to do that? Your representative, if Republican, voted to look out for insurance, credit card, banking companies –NOT look out for You. Why?

While US military was in the middle of invading Iraq: White House administration tried to cut VA benefits –until the press found out about it. Now? A returning soldier can get a medical appointment: 12 MONTHS after returning. Administration: just changed tactics –not goals. They moved the goal post –but who gives returning vets voice about that?

As they fiddle with the flag, debate denying rights to some Americans, how to keep out ‘intruders’ while pandering to those who give them money –but can't be bothered to look out for you, your family –anybody but themselves: They deserve –your vote?

NASA fiddles with when to shoot off Another rocket, blathers on and on about ‘expecting’ parts to fall off –while media reports their every Public Relations bit of fluff. But they/nobody Asks any Hard questions: Who gave permission to spend such money? –Why shooting off a rocket is More important than looking out for Americans? How many corporations that got NASA contracts to build those rockets, Also donated to Oval Office occupant? –To Republican Party?

Does your religious leader have medical insurance? WHO paid for it?

If you are injured –get a disease –in a car crash: shooting off a billion dollar rocket will do What for your health? Think about those questions –as the boys use the money that could provide basis for universal non-profit medical insurance –to play with their toys, launch another one, whenever they can get their act together....

REMEDIES
Write to your representative in Washington:
-Begin: looking out for You when
-fiddling with flag: Ask how that will help if you, your family gets cancer
-insurance coverage : Demand as good as they have –as affordable
Find link to your representative - left column

If Every American had medical insurance:
-cost of premiums would drop sharply: healthy patients would balance elderly/ill patients cost
-bureaucracy for Medi-care, stupid rules, insane ‘pricing’ could be slashed
-doctors, nurses, techs could get paid for services rendered –to all, not just wealthy patients

Open Letter To: Barbara Walters

2006-06-29T18:15:00.000-07:00

Your face –slapped all over Our airwaves past few days, but fortunately: YOU don’t get only or last word, thanks to one of the few rights not stripped by current Oval Office occupant, though his pals are feverishly working on it. This author not black and doesn’t need to be to see what you have done –and wretch; appalled at your temerity. Who the hell do you imagine you are?

Your name –etched into a California sidewalk next year, at least until The Earthquake, announced recently. Which means: you, or your employer, nominated you, put up $2,200. for said “honor,” “agreed” to show up when it’s done. That stretch of a Los Angeles sidewalk reserved for significant people in the Moving Picture business. What’s it got to do with you? Who the hell do you imagine you are?

EXCUUUSE us: Where the Hell were your ‘modulated’ tones when FCC enabled Mega media corporations to rip-down firewall –TV-radio-newspaper-Internet, single ownership in a single market –Engorge themselves, become ever-larger –control news –line their pockets –suppress competing viewpoints –buy up competition, that outraged Americans? National Rifle Association, ACLU to artists –well over two million protested in letter, fax, phone, e-mail to FCC. You? –Too much of a team player to allow Opinion, facts, doing the right thing, journalism –even discussion –to interfere with making money?

State –federal –no-longer supreme courts –quashed, stripped out –Jamb-packed only with conservative/right-wing judges –now devoid of variety, backgrounds –any variance from ideological interpretations. –You had what to say? Too busy keeping your lips tightly zipped, hoping for another invitation to White House?

Billions of diapers, plastic water bottles, Styrofoam packaging choking landfills –take hundreds of years to breakdown, IF ever –makers of those, cars, drugs –thousands of toxic things poisoning the planet, advertisers on your little flog & tell hour. –But those worried about the planet –those views discussed –aired when? More Important: avoid any conflict –with the sweep of cash through the door –belonging to the makers, who air commercials of such during “your” piece of our air?

An employee told the public You & Co. did not ‘invite’ her to continue employment –an hour/two days before YOU said it –you moaning, whining in oh-so-dulcet tones –Whining and bitching because she beat you to it???

You hired: Meredith Vierira –intelligent first-rate reporter –with wit, personality, brains –class, to let everyone else have a turn at ‘shining; glimpse at life growing up child of a doctor in New England 1950’s, married parent with career, to lead that mess of an hour. Joy Behar, single person who brings the funny, glimpse into Italian family life, circa 1940s New York, 1950’s discrimination of women, life with long-term boyfriend. Star Jones: attorney, newly-married, contributing interpretation of law, growing up in large extended family in the South of 1960’s. –Each: views influenced by decade, environment.

Then: You hired a twenty-something person –so mind-bound to an ideology, a religion, a political party there actually is no reason for her to speak: makes no-nevermind What the Topic –her “views” predictable, extreme right-wing, biased, rigid. But with her every person unfortunate enough to turn on this view gets a two-fer: her recitation of Party Lines AND Lecture How to Live. How life is to be lived –loudly, even if others are talking, and Often, because twenty-something from small-town, primitive state Knows; not shy sharing. Illuminates? HOW does such a person get on your little mess of an hour? She brings What to the table? Budhist, Jewish, Muslim, Lutheran, non-believers shouldn't watch/should follow Immediately? YOU decided: you saw a wind blowing off a distant pool that ‘somehow’ doesn’t Have Enough outlet? –It was right time: to Pander to the rabid right? You: went right off the rails.

Then after journalist Vierira (wisely) quit, you hire a person who brings what to the table, besides her homosexuality and left-wing agenda? –Ability –to suck the oxygen/interrupt /talk louder than anyone else in the room –non-stop? With her the only time anyone else gets to talk, apparently: they are saying something flattering to/about her. How will such a skill set add to –conversation –discussion –anything? Whom do you & co. imagine will be market for right-winger, left-winger rant fests? Your judgment hiring such a skill-set? Is it supposed to amuse the few viewers still watching –to see extremists attempt to convince the other of something? What the hell were you thinking, hiring Either one?

What do You bring to the table? Hmmm…much-married, given to name-dropping, feigning modesty, lunching…not a reporter, not amusing, not a lawyer…economics –medicine –science? Nope. –Painter –biologist –poet –archeologist –historian –bond trader –gourmet cook –gardener? Naw, nope, nada. You’re just the discriminating Hostess with Mostest? –Only the well-done/quality booked? Any doctor looking for business slides a show of latest cosmetic procedures –guaranteed to get him a palazzo in Italy, glides right on in. –“Designer” desperate to keep from going belly up gets runway time to show off latest stupid rags, produced by which country’s children –you-can’t-be-bothered-to-verify.

Hell, anybody with a good publicist and a movie/book/CD to flog ‘somehow’ manages to get a seat, without Iota of quality or criteria applied. –‘Somehow’ even less difficult if tied/owned by parent Disney/ABC? The four co-hosts: forced to be polite in face of such marketing inanity. Has occurred to you –even once—only Good movies flogged, instead of whatever-drivel has littered once perfectly good raw film by Ms/Mr Famous?

–You stand for nothing –perched on the edge of your seat –breathless with anticipation –posing Deep Probing Questions –waiting breathlessly, for answers from Ac-Tor of the minute. One of the people you hired: once thought it would somehow be amusing to book a real twit, who thought it would be amusing to showcase cocktails –procuring one for color, a martini of alcohol mixed with medicine –because Pepto Abysmal is pretty pink. Where do you get off thinking such people have any value to viewers? Meredith Vieira had the integrity to spit it out, say aloud “this is awful.” Awful? Like labeling the Grand Canyon: ditch.

First year or so, topics discussed at the beginning of the show, relevant, of weight; stimulating conversation. Then your use of Our real estate veered sharply –into the depths –where yellow journalism, gossip and trash is placed. What’s on the cover of a rag –Topic A, on your show of rancid shows; latest amateur wannabe singer –oh, yes, deep examination. But: opportunity to educate –how to invest/ save/create a smart pension? –environment –how to restore political balance? –bills on the House or Senate floor that week? –natural remedies/alternatives to slash & burn methods for breast/cervical/prostate cancer? –spirituality? –how to live rich life? No time, those views: You & Co. too busy throwing up view on tech toys, clothing, any pricey “interesting” new thing that wants flogging, filling up hot air –making money for You/network.

Did you hire consultants –who said version of ‘women don’t care about important subjects’ –and believed them? Though much-married makes you a-typical, you seem to be product of long-dead, thankfully, era when it was projected women were only interested in fluff and lunching. GET A CLUE: women have Always worked –hard –inside, outside of wherever they live, one way or another; usually at two careers; care deeply about many things. Do Explain That to near-hysterical director/camera operator who makes the mess un-watchable: sooo fearful a Real Point About something will make the show “dull” –they chop/cut –every quarter second, non-stop, until anyone who actually Looks at it soon cross-eyed or dizzy as camera whips from face to face to crossed dangling legs to tacky dated cheap set.

Where was your judgment –class –brains: when you asked a sexual question of journalist Charles Gibson so Inappropriate –so low-life –he walked off the dais and, body language transmitted, did not want to return, didn't for several seconds.

But: An employee whom “consultants” decided wasn’t pandering enough to any viewers still watching that mess –should be 86’d? –You believe them? –You/‘consultants’/network didn’t like her wedding chatter? Or: didn’t like her getting free stuff because of the chatter? Uh –you, the network Don’t put up the whole show so you can sell drugs –cars –diapers –tech toys –to get money?

According to media reports: a contract was not forthcoming –in December. If true: that means for Half a Year she has had to keep quiet, while pretending interest/enthusiasm –do the job for six months Knowing she was fired. But YOU are “upset” she finally said so –TWO DAYS before You could? She announced what was coming –two days before You could ax her –pissed you off? Get a Clue: every person ever fired Applauds her. She announced she was leaving –on her five minutes –with dignity. She stood up for herself.

You: admired, once, by millions of girls, growing up in tumultuous times, wondering where they would fit in the world; watching first female video news anchor on national news show. You were given gifts, finite amount of time on the planet, as everyone. What have you done with them?

What is it you “agreed” to be “honored” for on a Los Angeles sidewalk? –Whining –about the exit timing of already-fired employee? Utterly tacky. You have embarrassed yourself. Are viewers capable of changing views? Yup. Harry Reasoner –on you –now viewed differently: He was right on. Stuff you do around Academy Awards time so trite the only thing missing: a hat. You can flog impending arrival of left-winger with an agenda 24/7: that will only further prove your shortages.

You have acended/decended into the ranks of George Hamilton: famous for being famous, but for What? OUR airwaves: too valuable for your ilk. Step aside or at least: shut up. If you aren’t part of the solution: get out of the way –you’re blocking our view. This author will continue to join many others –elsewhere.

REMEDIES
Except for one day during Vierira’s last week, this author admits: after not watching for years, happened to turn on TV, saw segment of Star Jones announcement, Barbara Walter’s face. “The View” –panders, deals in drivel; utter waste of air, your time.

Iraq: Go –Stay? –Plans? –Brains?

Americans debating, about three years late, what to do about sinkhole Iraq. Pull out –remain –send more troops, bring all home –keep paying Halitosis invoices –stay & pray? White House clearly has budget for speechwriters to think up slogans to save its flaccid reputation and crashing poll numbers –slap names on critics, but budget to think up anything to save/achieve the debacle that is invasion of Iraq? Where’s the brains –Plans, strategy? Or: does Administration leave military in Iraq until Americans loose all rights, freedoms and White House is free to do anything they chose, swiping un-written authority on claims “it’s legal”?

Republican leader of the Senate Dr. Frist:

“Announcing an artificial timeline for withdrawal, as the Democrats would have us do, would only embolden the terrorists and encourage them to persist in their atrocities. Simply stated, surrender is not a solution.” “His” views on energy: “…we should give renewed consideration to legislation, which Democrats have repeatedly blocked, that would open up small areas of Alaska to environmentally sensitive oil exploration. In addition, the United States should work to begin construction of new… nuclear power plants.”

“Sensitive” exploration –nukes??? Is that Anything like the way we ‘explored’ Iraq for “WMD”? Doctor Senator Frist neither thinks for himself, puts military’s welfare nor best interests of the country ahead of his Party. Dr. Frist’s bio doesn’t list any military service, but perhaps that’s because his testicles were removed –as he gives no appearance of having testicles as he fails to speak up for those doing the dying, but with no voice, as he lip-sinks Oval Office occupant’s talking points. http://frist.senate.gov/

Ditto good little Republican soldier Senator Warner. Ever-vocal Senator McCain –for war –against –staying –leaving, who can remember, he’s ever-busy out gathering /scoring points, but he’s always up for Soup du Jour opinion, so check the Oval Office website to find out where he’s at for the day. But in the morning: check it again; he doesn’t like his opinions to get stale. Other Senators –clueless what actual stench of war is about, speak in clumps and unison. Members of Senate, House who are thinking members of the Republican Party: too stunned, appalled, disgusted or angry to speak.

Decorated Viet Nam vet Democratic Senator Kerry says: ‘date-certain evacuation’ —and doing damn fine job running campaign –for long-dead 2004 Election. Baby-boomer Sen. Lieberman, Never ever was a Hippy, hot on war and on trail of crafting: party of One. Sen. Rodham Clinton: a mystery and a confusion, sorta; voted to give away Senate’s authority to declare war, but now against invasion, but won’t say so; ‘military should pull out –some day.’ Ex Marine Sen. Murtha, who once believed what “leaders” said about Viet Nam, not confused now: ‘Iraq is in chaos; generals have no plan; recent US military murders of civilians, confirmed by compensation paid to families, due to massive stress, inadequate troop number, objectives; generals angry at lack of leadership, direction from the top.’

If you label yourself Right-winger: you believe your Party’s line, want military to stay until “success” achieved –“success” un-defined; your mind closed. Left-winger: you want troops out now/date-certain; case and mind closed. What’s the answer –what should US do in Iraq now? –Which side is correct?

We can’t know where we’re going if we don’t know where we came from: WHY is the US in Iraq? Occupant told New York firefighters, widows, grieving parents: ‘strike at those who attacked us.’ Iraq had Nothing to do with September 11, 2001 attack, so no-go as a reason.

-Some guy got $350,000 a MONTH—times how many months?— to whisper sweets in their ears, as “evidence” used in State of the Union
-‘Iraq possessed weapons of massive proportions’
-Iraq might/maybe/could send “smoking cloud” over us
Quick hop to Africa by former Ambassador to investigate for the CIA: Another “reason” blown to bits, along with the $350,000-a-month-guy's "evidence" and the classified/ secret identity of his wife. –Revenge for blowing their excuses to invade.
Minor detail: Iraq was under UN restriction, Not allowed to fly –any at all
Okay, Iraq wasn’t going to fly any nuclear weapons here/anywhere, Duh, Reasons #2 and #3 dead.
Then they ‘floated’:
-terrible/bad/evil Saddam
–“evil” theme –got traction, lots of ‘ink’ -“certain” he has weapons capable of massive destruction? The Rummy delivered them, in person
At the same time: they go to work on the people who are supposed to represent us, we the people; imply any representative who doesn’t support them/give away authority to delcare war:
a) not patriotic
b) not real American
c) coward
–THIS from crowd that between them has combined military experience of: Zero years. But It works: members of House, Senate --everyone went silent.

What a coup. Except: the truth –the ‘elephant in the room’? Revealed During 2004 re-election campaign: Pentagon was ordered to prepare plans for invading Iraq –ON Inauguration day 2000 –3 1/2 years before invasion. The cite: General Wesley Clark. –The day Occupant swore to uphold the Constitution: How did he know Iraq would “need” to be invaded?

After shock wore off –rose petals, kisses way weren’t coming our way from Iraqis, violence and death against troops soared, opinion of Americans, world tanked his popularity…no WMD, not “evil Saddam” –no threat of nuclear weapon over the US –not a strike at those who attacked September 11th.

So Occupant floated another ‘balloon’: military invaded Iraq “to bring democracy.” Iraq was invaded for Democracy??? –2,5014 Americans, 30,000 to 100,000 Iraqis, countless coalition, aide, pacifist and contractors died –US Treasury striped bare, hemorrhaging red ink to “bring democracy”??? Cold comfort to widows, grieving parents, sisters, brothers, Americans.

Death rates and tanking poll numbers continue so Occupant’s toadies float another attack ‘balloon’ –version of ‘if you aren’t with us, you’re against us and a coward’ –to hold on to pals’ contracts and majority in Congress:
‘Democrats want to cut & run.’
Implied: Democrats as “Cowards”??? –Those “Cowards” made sure the world got Peace after worst right-wing extremists in history in germany blew up the world, for the second time;
“cowards” were in the mud, blood, heat, snow in Korea.
Over 58,000 “cowards” twisted in Vietnamese jungles, while those who sent them –fat cat Republicans like Dick Nixon sat home, lying to Americans, ‘winding down’ the war while secretly he escalated.

This –attack version a re-run: Democrats, working class, minorities and those who believe White House claims are the ones in the desert, doing the fighting and the dying; while fat cat Republicans, getting richer off the “war,” want to keep on keeping on. Now that we know the truth, what now?

Administration done anything to eliminate core reasons Arabs –Muslim extremists hate us? –Can Iraqi women send their children off to school –anyone go get groceries, gasoline –with any certainty? How is it Possible: super country with military budget of $446 Billion bucks can’t stop bunch of rag-tag insurgents –after Three Years? Tiny Israel, fraction of our military budget: 67 DAYS to end a war.

Stay –pull out?
-US troops weren’t trained in house door-to-door, neighborhood combat
-Halitosis, thanks to President of Vice, got tap-Root into US Treasury –on no bid, no compete contracts; over-charging; vast sums for what Army always did for itself
-American soldiers maimed, wounded, killed by bombs, in inadequate transport
-80 to 90% unemployment in Iraq
-No electricity; no working pipeline; no stability, no peace
-Not enough US troops to overwhelm fighters

This author has no personal stake –no family member getting maimed/wounded/blown up, does afford distance, objectivity –lots of time to think deeply what to do. Look at occupant’s claims:
-“Iraq’s oil will repay our costs”
-“outside agitators/terrorists coming in to Iraq; responsible for bombings”
-“our troops will stand down as Iraqis stand up”
-“Iraqis voted [in three elections], a government, a leader in place”
-Looked into Prime Minister al-Maliki’s eyeballs, likes what he sees
-Spying on Americans’ bank records –without court orders ‘–looking for bad guys’
-Insurgents fighting to get US out of Iraq, hate us/troops/democracy

So if we don’t have enough troops, most Iraqis unemployed, people with no future, no career, no money, loads of hate for Americans pour into Iraq, sign up to fight for pay: the obvious is obviously wrong.

So, this ugly mess –means? Together –what do we have? Bag full of remedies –if combined. Freely admitting, like the Occupant, no military strategy training, this author, unlike him, using common sense only, Supposing we: use Occupant’s claim’s, do exactly what he says; put his words into a Plan, put his feet so close to the fire –it singes him –we get a Plan, let’s call it Plan #1 –no Plan B.

Plan:
-Position 2/3 US troops along Iraq’s borders –Iran –Jordan, etc., with ten to thirty Iraqis in between, say 10’ apart, all day, all night
-Halitosis, paying American truck drivers, guards, contractors, etc. over there nearly quarter of million, can afford to pay: each Iraqi $10. per day PLUS feed them –on THEIR tab (nope, don’t care whether legal or possible, don’t give a damn), from the billions they siphoned out of US Treasury
= Nothing, Nobody gets IN, nobody gets OUT of Iraq, without permission, check-point examination
-Any fighting in provinces and cities: Iraqi police/national guard/army to respond or not –it's on them
-White House: can use their no-doubt by now perfected spy ways to FIND who is sending money into Iraq, TO whom, Which pick-up point/ bank enabling; then cut it off
-No coalition of the coerced, US troops: fighting in neighborhoods; no more target

-Remaining 1/3 US, coalition troops, ten to fifty Iraqis—five feet apart, in between: divided between pipelines, electrical generators –guarding the infrastructure, all areas –until repaired; on-going
= No body crosses the borders; no guns/ammo/bombs/bomb equipment/money gets in

If Iraqis: smart enough to build “WMD” –pipeline and electricity, they’re smart enough to Repair them –without any help from Halitosis; Americans don’t need any more invoices from Halitosis.

Ergo, eventually: no American, multi-nation troops fight/wounded/killed; money, weapons, material, replacements dry up.
No more = No more. Eventually: whole thing dries up. All troops get out; they get to keep their pipeline, their oil; they reimburse US; right-wingers forced into actually enabling Iraqis to decide their own fate; left-wingers get troops back, no more war. The End.

One note: uniforms Iraqi police, military must be altered –trousers best choice; each distinct –only This time: US behaves as though they still have brains –number Each pair; guard them transit to delivery; on arrival in Iraq: assign each to named Iraqi with photo ID –Not stolen this time.

But: if Oval Office occupant “can’t”/ doesn’t find source of money going to insurgents: then Americans have proof –that Real purpose of spying on bank records –is spying –on Americans = more Imperial power-grab/loss of rights, violation of US Constitution.

Thought of this after the shock wore off, of The Rummy’s destruction, indifference. Thinking about it ever since. If no American troops in cities, insurgents cut off from replacements, money, weapons = end of shooting at Americans. Every thug fighting lives next door to someone: Eventually thugs have to get food, water, gas, more money. Eventually: Next-door neighbors will turn them in –death or exodus. Occupant & Co. won’t be removing any Iraqi assets. Iraqis can re-build schools, etc. their own selves. The End.

Let’s see the doughy little “brains” try to squirm away from this; right-winger, left-winger objection to US military protecting Iraq, Iraqis, infrastructure; removing object of insurgent violence, yet keeping troops from injury, while increasing employment, safety, peace –secure grocery shopping.

If You know Actual reason this can’t work –wanting to sell ice cream in the desert –continue making money off war doesn’t count, then: Post it. Otherwise: e-mail it to your reps in Congress. Find your rep’s contact info in the left column links.

Smokers: Good News!

2006-06-27T07:15:00.000-07:00

If you are a smoker there is News out of the White House. According to papers filed with court and various Administration agency heads: Tobacco is Harmful BUT: carbon monoxide NOT.

Do you realize what this Means? Yikes, this is Great! Instead of using tobacco: find a car with engine on, get on your knees and just suck the tailpipe emission --cuz it Way ain't gonna hurt ya! Yikes, these guys did it again, they just don't stop lookn' out for us. And really who knew: tobacco --a plant, grown by Nature is way worse than carbon Monoxide, courtesy of Man. Sheesh, what will these guys "think" of next? Except: isn't carbon monoxide what people use who want to kill themselves --quick? Oh well, enjoy.

Illegals: Figured It Out Yet?

2006-06-24T07:50:00.000-07:00

Angry at illegals --at people who came into the US illegally? Angry at all those from Mexico, Central and South America --who fill ERs, public schools --so much, schools are crowded, hospitals are closing to emergencies or closed permanently? Are you so angry you are part of the crowd pressuring Congress to "Do Something"? --Want borders 'beefed up' --walls, lots and lots of walls --border patrols and blah blah blah? Well: Have you figured it out yet? The solution to a problem: is in the problem.

While you were getting all hot and bothered, writing, calling Congress, maybe even 'saddling up' to "watch" the border:
Why did so many people come to US, illegally --since 1986? Think about it: Across the US, mid-West, unknown small towns, deep South; states that never saw Hispanics before, why did so many come, go so far from the border?

Business owners and corporations, members of the Republican Party, placed ads in Mexican newspapers advertising jobs in the US. Did you know that? Think about it: poultry processing plants, meat packing houses, cattle ranches; hotels, restaurants; dairy -crop farms --all the houses, malls built in California, Nevada, the South. Wal-Mart. Republicans hired all those who showed up --at Lower wages and --Duh, pocketed the profits.

Got a Chamber of Commerce in your town? Have you seen them --run around getting face time in front of cameras to declare: Americans did not want the jobs. Well, that is true: Americans do not want to work at Minimum Wage. Real translation: 'our members don't want to pay going rate for labor.'

While you were getting even angrier --Demanding borders be closed: those who came into the US knew they couldn't go back and forth. So: Duh --they came with their spouses, their children, aunts, uncles, parents
and Stayed.

How long until corporation CEOs, business owners, Republican Party, Commander in Grief figures it out: no books, clothing, cars, tech toys, houses, luxuries can be bought by Americans with NO job?

Remedies Want thousands --millions of illegals to "obey the law" --to leave? --No, Really want illegals to leave? Then start Demanding: borders be monitored but open; special pass for seasonal workers. Terrorists? They came in on jets, Business Class.
Demand Minimum Wage be raised.
Demand Republicans obey laws.
Figured it out yet? If construction --every job paid the going rate: Lots of Americans would work.

Flag-draped Americans coming home this week: 12 -join two thousand five hundred

Americans Wounded, Permanently Maimed: over 20,000
Terrorists Killed: One

Russert, Bradlee, Rather, Media...

2006-06-21T23:55:00.000-07:00

This author monitors all of the political Sunday morning political shows with one TV, one remote, often only one eye (after writing all night), no recording device. Political shows are important, how they doing?

“Meet the Press” with Tim Russert supposedly the most watched of the morning political group. If you are one of those who watch: why? Last Sunday: oily boys invited –to make their case, again… justifying, mealy-mouthing, “needing” to punch holes in pristine Alaska, California and Texas coasts, to, somehow magically, bring down the price, pretending they don’t have enough refineries –but leaving out:
-THEY closed over 143 refineries;
-there isn’t enough oil in Alaska preserve to cover more than six months worth of need

If Russert was serious reporter, working for media corporation that gave a damn about journalism:
“WHY did they get billions out of US Treasury after September 11”?
Tax breaks ever since?
If they can afford to back-date stock options to shower “CEOs” with multi-billion dollar “bonuses”—which they also tried to justify Again–why don’t they pay what they owe?
WHY aren’t they paying taxes on oil drilled in public's places? They drill US coasts, public lands, parks –but skate on royalties they owe –thanks to Oval Office occupant, President of Vice and the people they put in agencies to collect the money. Oily boys: suing to get contracts, signed during last administration, over-turned, that mistakenly (?) listed too-small royalty amount. Put to the oily boys?
Where were questions on: President of Vice’s meetings with 180 energy producers –who reportedly wrote this country’s energy policy –from their wish list?
Fossil fuel heating the planet, ground beneath cities at risk with massive earthquakes from disappearing oil?
What do they intend doing about greenhouse gas –alternative fuel?

Tim Russert, too ill(?) to ask? –All such Missing from Russert. Oily boys said all their blather already to Congress, numerous times since, so why did NBC give them air time to say it all again?

Russert omits the Hard questions, let’s people blather –especially “doctor” Condo, the Rummy; acts frightened of President of Vice. NBC’s “Meet the Press”: viewer never learns a thing; guests give well-rehearsed lines, often White House-written talking points; Russert at most: repeats question a guest has already evaded; utter waste of time. Russert: missing in action. “Meet the Press”: waste of time, electricity.

Last week Russert made the rounds of talk/sales shows: selling book he ‘authored’ of stories people sent him of fathers. This he went around flogging as a Father’s Day gift??? Does anyone else think: stories of Other people’s fathers way odd gift –to a father? Why would a father want to read adulation of other people?
-----------------------------------------------------

Ben Bradlee, Executive Editor WASHINGTON POST: interviewed by reporter, friend Jim Lehrer of PBS, on PBS. Bradlee spoke of journalism; friendship with John F. Kennedy, before his presidentcy; Watergate and Deep Throat; reporters and false stories by fakes and ethics. He came from upper-class family that lost everything in the Crash of 1929. He doesn’t belong to any clubs, he said, because he doesn’t want to be compromised, influenced, what he learns, can say in print; spoke of relationship with President Kennedy, when they were neighbors, five doors apart, both pushing baby carriages.... Refreshing. A person of class. Will any of his caliber, ethics, intelligence, judgment dome along, when he’s gone? Thanks for the piece, PBS.
--------------------------------------------------------

CBS: Somehow couldn’t ‘find’ room for Dan Rather, held the door open so it wouldn’t hit him on the way out, five months before his contract expired. Does that matter? Does it matter that CBS news ‘managers’ Les Moonves & Co chose perky ratings draw to replace superb reporter Bob Scheiffer –instead of a credentialed reporter? Only if you care about media doing their job, being our ‘eyes’ ‘ears’ –Media granted privileges for That –watching government, not appeasement to government employees; not spooning pabulum, omiting investigative stories.

The roar Rather generated over papers, as basis, for story that current Oval Office occupant: did not complete his military training; failed to appear; got special treatment; his military records mystically disappeared. –Regardless of the papers: WHICH part of the report wasn’t/isn’t true? Occupant Did Not Complete training for which he signed on; required to complete –failed to show at numerous documented times. Why wasn’t THAT the issue? But Rather got the boot? Right-wingers: desperate to prevail, whined, crabbed about the dotting of any “i” /the gnat on a flea, while the ‘crab’ stunk up the whole house…hold onto illusions –their guy, right or VERY wrong.

(For the record: this author not a fan of Dan Rather; growing up: television seldom on, but when there was David Brinkley, John Chancellor then Tom Brokaw, why watch Rather, was unsaid habit.) CBS: will rue booting Dan Rather, one way or another. Cosmic payback: If rumors become reality, his future could make CBS appear as dated as their soap operas? Best of luck, Mr. Rather.

Bob Sheiffer, CBS: gives him and us only half of an hour of his smart, inciteful political show, but asks the hard questions of the usual suspects; stays with a point until he gets an answer or until viewer can realize: guest's evasion. His commentary at the end: loaded with common sense; refreshing on its own and because so little exists publicly. CBS neither seems to know nor care how lucky they, we are to have him. If they did: they would not bump his program for sports junk, Often. But look up schedule on-line or call CBS affliate station: clueless, NO notice when it will air. Rude, stupid, CBS. Maybe they’ll get it: when he’s gone. Shame on them. Every thing he does: superb. Thanks Mr. Sheiffer.

IF CBS cared about journalism, news: they would have sought fine reporter Meredith Viera, NOT gone after 'ratings-getter' perkiness. Her Credentials: journalism over twenty years; once worked at "60 Mintues." Yes, this author a fan, ever since she showed up on "East 57th Street" –anyone remember it?

-----------------------------------------------------
Whatever it is Fox slaps up on Sunday: does not change; if you want to know rabid-biased right-wing Party line politics: pick any Sunday, they say same things every week. Bill Kristol looks positively reptilian, grinning, always siding with administration who, in his world, haven’t/don’t/ do any wrong/criminal/deceitful/biased acts.

But of course if extreme right-wingers are right: where’s your low-cost medical insurance? Where do you Think your pension is? Carrying $8,000. in debt (average amount for Americans) in plastic debt –at 20 -30% rates? Once considered criminal usury rate –but Occupant & pals: don't have a problem with those rates of greed.
-----------------------------------------------------

“This Week” on ABC : best of the bunch. When guests start going off on stale talking points: host George Stepanolous interrupts; doesn't let guests blather on, unless they determined to look the fool; reporters discuss politics of the week, in some context, often with background info; then relevant comic snippets from various shows, usually Letterman, “Daily Show” and secret right-leaner Leno; honors those who died the previous week. Classy, well-balanced, informative political hour.
-----------------------------------------------------

ABC: promos for Charlie Gibson, future host of nightly news, so “great” a journalist? In tradition of Edward R. Morrow –David Brinkley –Peter Jennings? Really? –“Harvest of Shame” and coming up: how to potty-train a kid??? Why the hell was he ‘interviewing’ on potty training recently? Picture any one them doing such a thing? So bad, such utterly meaningless drivel, too moronic to watch. How far do they intend to grind his credibility? What the hell were they thinking? Aren’t you just twitching with anticipation of such lofty re-port-age ‘skill’? Gibson: not equipped with enough spine –to refuse? It hasn’t, duh, occurred to any of them: doing two-hour morning drivel dance –gushing ‘Good Morning America’ goop –NOT, duh, a good leaping point to hard/Night news? Well, people who could plunk copy reader Elizabeth Vargas, who appears to practice Where to put emotion, in front of a camera: short a sandwich for a full plate?

ABC also ran a promo recently complimenting themselves for recent journalistic events, such as: first to go on air with news of military bombing death of Iraqi fighter al-Zarkawi. Not mentioned: How they came to be the first. How: Because people in government and the military trust: first-rate reporter Martha Raditz, but not credited. On another program of reporter round-table, “Washington Week,” she revealed she got a middle of the night call. This author was up, TV on that night –and ABC was first with the news, hours before any other station cut into programming with the news. Why did ABC take the credit –without naming Raditz? Raditz will be allowed to report –allowed to age –still keep her job? Or: subjected to pressure to go under face-surgery knives, unlike male reporters? Does a reporter who can get the story, knows the players, has judgment –or do 60, 70-something female reporters have to look like 20-something bimbettes to get on air, not allowed to age at ABC?

ABC ‘helped’ Ted Koppel out the door; then replaced him with some of the worst drivel on American air, of trash “scoops” by underwear-sniffer Martin Bash-emup; dripping exposes, about Nothing, dripping with emotion by Cynthia McFadden, on now-worthless “Nightline” utterly avoiding any subject that matters, informative, relevant to anyone’s life –about anything. Do people who do such things imagine they are “honoring” Peter Jennings? How much glue huffing does that take?

Message to ABC executives: Grow up. Stop pandering. Americans did NOT get stupid day after you booted Ted Koppel. Any time Martha Raditz, Brian Ross has something to say –get everyone else out of the way; let them have whatever time they need. Start behaving as though YOU get it, till you do.

-----------------------------------------------------
If Rumors are true: reporters –at all six news-controlled media giants are not getting permission to do stories; controlling what Americans are told…. Who needs rumors? Where are the stories? When will management get up to the level of Americans? When Will it dawn: if Americans are so dumb –why are content-rich blogs so well read? From NBC with its bomb-making parent GE, to ABC, now controlled by Disney and partner Capital Cities Corp., who’s largest stock-holder at the time of purchase was late CIA director Casey, all the media giants are tied to government; deep financial vested interests in pleasing Congress, White House –not in informing. Pentagon plan of embedding reporters: deep inside tanks, trucks as they headed to Iraq –brilliant stroke to both ‘give’ access and cut off reporters from knowing a single thing that mattered. But: media giants allowed to engorge in a single market: inform less; ignore local issues, politics, government, bulk up on revenue. That isn’t what authors of the Constitution had in mind as they wrote. Do stockholders demand that news divisions make money, or do the owners demand it?

IF Congress –our reps gave a damn about rights, free flow of information: there would be a bill to require ALL media to give free time for campaign ads, debates. Those are Our air rights they’re using; supposed to be OUR Congress, not the reps of bloated corporations. Why don’t right-wingers stop following ideology long enough to get that? If media corporations cared –allowed news directors, reporters to do their jobs, would US military be in Iraq? Would Halitosis, President of Vice’s last employer, have tap-Root into US Treasury?

Western Medical Establishment gets free air time –loads. Why? If “medicine” is the premise to give free air time: why not Asian –folk -non-invasive -non toxic methods on news shows? Western Medicine uses media to get on camera with new whiz-bang gadget –toxin –‘breakthrough’ that never quite cures cancer... –But if they just ‘had more money’ –they’re “sure” they could find. Hint hint: send contributions. Whose business Wouldn’t improve with free air time on 6 o’clock news?

Remedies
-Contact ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox: tell them you want more investigative stories; better coverage of local issues; much better election coverage; will boycott sponsors’ products until you see results

-Buy a local and a national newspaper, at least once a week. They ARE committed to doing their job, but underpaid. If we don’t support newspapers: they won’t be around to support, inform us or the next generation. Buy newspapers; read on-line: give a click on any relevant ad to give them revenue. If you're about to make a purchase: see if you can do it through an ad posted on a newspaper. It matters.

-Demand alternative medicine get the SAME free air time

Hop Hop Hop –Go Rove-ing Reporters?

2006-06-15T16:30:00.000-07:00

He Hops outta Camp David …Hops to Iraq…Hops back…reporters do hippity-hop with him –and Mission accomplished? Why –uhm Why did Oval Office occupant Hop? Why not hop over on Sunday –tomorrow –why not invite Iraq President over Here after last two minister appointments announced? Why did he hop that day? –Why Hop over there –Tuesday? Why didn’t reporters doing bunny-hop with him ASK –Comment –Note? Hmmm…the planet’s dumbest reporters? Mysteries…

The news –“genius” Karl Rove indictment –won't be nailed, for now, spotted it only 31 minutes after it went up on the news wires, then I immediately wrote the piece on KKKarl –but did not post it. Why not? This author: dun seen dat movie...I wanted to wait, see what/how they would Do it –Dead certain: White House crowd would do something that would cause the news to be forced Away from K-baby –focused on something else –and Bam! Hippity hop hippity hop…hop...hop to Money-Looting Central –Iraq.

White House Regime
If you’re a supporter and Don’t believe Occupant’s hop hop hop done Solely to protect his pal, draw media attention Away from Rove? Please describe: PRECISELY what was accomplished by all the hopping? Eyeball examination: doesn’t count. –Oh you believe the statement “trip was planned for a month”? Well Duh: they knew that Eventually Special Prosecutor Fitzpatrick would make a decision –for –against indicting “genius” –That the real reason for pressure to hurry up picking last two cabinate ministers, before Prosecutor's announcement? –They merely made plans for the DAY of announcement. Duh.

Lead Story
So instead of nasty little “genius” person being ‘above the fold’ –sole story –the hopping hither, yon the lead story. Then for extra good measure/more control: they plunked Occupant in the garden next morning to do some more fiddling with reporters and the news. Mission accomplished? If you’re a supporter –don’t believe they manipulate/ manipulated the news: howja like oil at $70. bucks a barrel –how many illegals did you see today –where’s your low-cost medical insurance –where do you Think your pension is –where is your job going? Last month: they fiddled with senior adults, pushed them to enroll in their Welfare plan for drug-makers and they fiddled with non-citizens having Americans’ jobs –but at lower wages. This month: they’re fiddling with the flag and making sure everyone knows they’re not homosexual….as they loot the Treasury and your rights, your privacy, your quality of life, your children, your money –Penta-gone…. But –Protection –even of military’s Social Security numbers?

Giant media, Still grateful for régime’s help in allowing them to become even bigger, via FCC and Mickey Powell, manage their reporters –so real story, whole story, rest of the story, stories that Matter –don’t, somehow, ever get done. So “reporters”: “report” on Brittney Spear’s driving skills –lost pet –who got shot, what burned down –who married whom –do the bunny-hop –but No wiser, no-better informed…THAT the very reason to stop the FCC –reason NOT to vote for these people OR anyone who supports them OR allow electronic “vote” machines Anywhere. They have plans to steal the 2008 election –if the Universe doesn’t nail “genius” first…. Maybe you can help: KKK-baby appears to be addicted to food –maybe all those plans stealing elections and sending other people’s children to fight for oil, even though he and his boss evaded service with multi deferments, bothering him. –Send “genius” some comfort food –ship some sweet nothings, to ease his pain….

But EXUUUUSSSE me: Five trips to Grand Jury...FIVE...but NO indictment??? What did that cost? Who said WHAT to Whom? Duh: SomeBODY told lil Scooter the Name of the wife of their #1 Exposer of lies –then shoved lil Scooter out into reporter land to reveal what he was told...who dat? They Believed they could STOP Facts –Real reasons –Truth for invading Iraq from leaking –by leaking secret name of CIA agent. WHO did THAT? WHO told Scooter? WHO shoved him into reporters? WHO Will be arrested for violating Secrets Act? WHO got the $9 BILLION 'disappeared' bucks? WHO will pay for dead Iraqis, dead Americans, dead soldiers?

Karl Rove: Sentence? LOL…

2006-06-14T07:45:00.000-07:00

“…I heard the news today, oh boy…” News: the Special Prosecutor Won’t indict Karl “brains” behind Oval Office occupant Rove, for violating Federal Secrets Act for revealing CIA agent’s identity. Angry? Why?

Reportedly: Rove “leaked” the agent’s identity to friendly reporters, via Scooter Libby, Chief of Staff to President of Vice, as retaliation for the agent’s spouse exposing claims/lies for Iraq invasion…. Karl Rove and the people running HIM: so arrogant, so intent on invading Iraq, they thought they could silence the agent’s husband and any Future critics by using stealth personal attack, as a warning.

Think it’s un-just –that Special Prosecutor won’t be indicting Rove? There are people, all over, inside, outside federal government, who can’t stomach what’s going on…telling what they know…. The Truth is leaking out –While they’re still in the White House. They tried to silence undercover agent’s husband, others, But: Evidence is surfacing –of their True intension to loot Iraq, leave it splintered, immobile, assets shipped out…. Various things Caused them to Have to shelve those Plans. Iraq: Nothing to do with 9-11 attack, terrorists who planned it; no way to attack this country. Now: Forced into entirely new Plan: helping Iraqis form a government WITH their oil…no looting will be Held Today…. Americans, world know now, the only one claims Not to is occupant and weenies who really really wanna keep their job in Congress. EVERYbody else gets it.

Karl Rove may be “elated” today: but Now he will receive his True sentence. The Universe will not allow escape.

Remedy
Don't Worry ~Be Happy.... We know what he did, but the Universe knows: how to inflict Perfect Justice. His sentence, Among other things: he is now “free” to “orchestrate” the next election.
He will receive: everything he has coming….
Look Forward to it –watch it –enjoy it...they can run nekid through Rose Garden, it won't change what's coming...justice meted out by the Universe is superior to Man’s….

Stock Market: Which Way?

2006-06-13T18:45:00.000-07:00

Did you watch the stock market climb past several weeks –Hoped it would keep going up? –So you invested in the New York Stock Exchange, So you could make ‘tons’? Ahhh, the Perfect investor –for insiders.

How is your stock portfolio doing now? Upset, worried –fearful, what’s going to happen? If you, typical investor, invested in the stock market, hoping to make quick money: You watched the ‘market’ go up –you saw: Dow Jones Industrial average of 30 stocks go up. You thought it was a sign to ‘get on board.’ Once invested: you hoped it would keep on keeping on. Then WHOOSH: down it came. You’re angry; worried, what to do now…with important money, fearful it will go down under what you put in: you sell. You didn’t make any money in the stock market? Why not? You entered the market with four things: Hope, Greed, Fear, No memory.

Dow Jones, thirty stocks used as 'come on' AKA: advertising, recently hit approximately: 11,600. So what? What was the highest closing price of past few years (which was also the highest close ever)? If you Aren’t typical investor: you know it was 11,700+. When the market climbed but failed to reach that level and go beyond it: signal –a giant signal that insiders were distributing their stock, to typical investors, to attract attention. Rising price: attracted typical investors. –They were forcing prices Up: so they could ‘clean up their books’ and go short. That is: they borrowed stock at the top, 11,600. and will close their short positions at the ‘bottom’ –whatever amount they decide/when there is no more money to made/when pessimism is gone. Then: insiders will acquire same stock, but at much cheaper price –“discounted”—and do it all again.

You would know all this IF you functioned with Memory. But, typical stock market investor, you don’t. So you: buy High, sell Low. Insiders adore you. You trade the stock market with: Greed, Fear. The Dance goes on –every day, every hour the stock market is open. Why –why doesn’t government agency that looks out for investors and oversees the stock market, the Securities & Exchange Commission, SEC, protect you? Hah! It’s one of the Best stories of the last century.

SEC does what it does: thanks to Joseph P. Kennedy, father of President John F. Kennedy. Highlights: President Franklin Roosevelt needed a favor, a Major favor, and asked former Ambassador Kennedy for help. Price of the favor: Kennedy wanted to be the first head of the new SEC agency authorized by Congress after the Stock Market Crash of 1929, formed to protect investors, so that such a crash could never happen again. Done and Done. Kennedy essentially, literally: gutted every provision that would have changed how insiders –and investors trade the stock market. You don’t do any Real homework; screwed, every time.

What current White House administration has done to financial situation of this country: is so dire it is possible that we may one day look at 1929 Stock Market Crash with longing, for Good ol’ Days, if US goes bankrupt, other countries stop buying our debt. It will be difficult if not Impossible to be disease-free and able to withstand what this author fears is coming. They are following orders? If you are a member of Republican Party: your Party has been hijacked; if you’re a right-winger: ideals of the Party crushed. –Largest federal agency in the history of the world, “Homeland” “Security” –on the largest deficit ever known, nearly $7 TRILLION. General Motors and Wal-Mart are in a position to bring the US down Permanently. In case you’re wondering: this author spent a lot time researching, figuring out the stock market; then day-traded the market for two years.

Remedy:
No community should permit another Wal-Mart. Believe it.
Remedy:
If you can’t/won’t do homework necessary and become knowledgeable investor, with memory instead of greed and fear then: put 35% of every dollar you get into savings.
–Roth account, some form of pension account –something safe, steady, secure.
Remedy:
-If you’re going to put part of pension savings into stocks: buy low, a few each month; expect to hold for years –any mistakes will be corrected, with time.
-IF you Don’t save at least 35%: how much money do you NEED now, to live each month? Think: you’ll need that amount when you’re too tired/too ill to move –but without job or income.
-NO tech toy, no new hat, no car, no weekly restaurant meal is worth trading your future. Believe it.
Start saving –this week –the insiders already have.
-Take the 35 to 37% off First dollar/pay yourself First, just like the Japanese.
Remedy:
Figure out how much you can send to get out of plastic debt hell.
–It’s NOT a “credit” card; it’s being a servant to insiders. Don’t play Their game.
Remedy:
Do NOT permit your child, any you know: to get into plastic card debt; especially not while still in school
If they/you can not pay the amount of a purchase by the end of the month/by the time the bill arrives: DO NOT PURCHASE

If you think YOU can’t be broke and homeless: have a chat with one of the 660,000 in foreclosure now, some after only one year’s worth of mortgage payments, some after only two months; anyone from Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Iowa, Mississippi, Maine…or New York, after September 2001….

Charlie’s Back…

2006-06-13T18:15:00.000-07:00

Charlie of “Charlie Rose Show” returned to the show yesterday, after three-months of heart repair in a French hospital. Too bad he didn’t have surgery on his other problem. –It must be difficult to fit through doorways –with an ego that size: entire first half of the show –the thing Most people long to hear –minute detail of “my heart surgery” and of “me, Charlie Rose, and my heart surgery, every detail” and more of “me me me and me on me.” Was there time –for Charlie to squeeze in Actual Thanks to all those who stepped in to host, to guests who agreed to the substitute host interviews? Did you hear any?

Second half: the only reason to keep flipping back to see when the first “subject” was over: Tom Friedman –on new Green technology to help the planet. The neo-cons –bloated oil boys –crafty coal creeps –their bought prostitutes in the “science” world who pollute the Internet with garbage designed to obscure facts and ALL their K Street crowd: trying to label “Green” vaguely French and ‘girlish’ and silly.

But: Fossil fuel is heating up the planet, which is causing certain types of cancer, destroying eco systems and species –FACT. YOU don’t Have to believe the evidence, but: What business can be done on a fried planet…with Florida, New York World Trade Center Monument, most of Greenland under water? That crowd will go the way of the Do-Do, look Seriously stupid in their SUVs, when the rest of the world moves past them –in Clean transport. Their turn IS coming –and so is everyone else’s. This author has a theory: fossil fuel pulled from deep in the earth –with out any ‘lubricant’ causes plates to shift = triggers earthquakes? Those jumping into Green tech: may they go so fast question won’t get answer. Early money rises fastest….

Did Charlie leave his bags in France??? Looks like it, from here.

~White House Shames Americans

2006-06-11T12:30:00.000-07:00

Three people held for over three years by White House administration each made a noose in their solitary cell and hung themselves...Three Suicides: White House administration has brought shame on themselves and on Americans. Holding people on No evidence, No trial, No way out: Ain't the AMERICAN way. We have been shamed by this administration. We MUST Protest.

Anyone who does NOT Protest what the White House & Co is doing in GITMO: is NO Better than those who watched the trains go by and ignored the stench, circa germany 1940.

White House & Co., if you don't remember, sent a bag containing $70 million in cash and orders to "find terrorists" to US military in Afghanistan shortly after invasion. According to reports at the time: Army personnel went door to door asking if anyone knew any terrorists and offering reward of $70. US for any turned in. Afghanistans, cold, hungry, tired, broke and unemployed: "found" terrorists for the Americans --and got enough money to live for a year. Some turned in neighbors, some pointed to strangers passing in the street.

These: blind-folded -head-covered, shown off to reporters--violating international law--"the most dangerous "terrorists" on the planet." Proof? Then flown to a corner of Cuba that is neither on US soil nor any other country's, but: under control of Donald Rumsfeld, President of Vice, "doctor" Condo and Oval Office occupant. Imprisoned, held in solitary confinement, under made-up category that does not allow for trial under US courts, military tribunal, their own country's system --nor any court system, thought up by: Secretary of "Defense" Donald Rumsfeld. They were interrogated in ways illegal by international law, Geneva Conventions and so repugnant: FBI agents refused to participate in illegal acts they witnessed --ALL done on say-so, "executive" order of White House administration.

Head of the prison is trying to spin deaths of prisoners: as though he and White House are 'protecting' us. We're supposed believe SPIN about suicide??? FBI agents wrote reports to their superior officers that they would NOT participate in examining prisoners.

If the GITMO prisoners are NOT allowed to go into any court to make a defense for their innocence: How LONG do they remain in prison? Until this administration leaves --until the end of time --until Every one committs suicide?

One "terrorist": once drove a car with Osma bin Forgotten in it. PROOF the driver committed even one act of terrorism? This is the "democracy" for which Americans are dying to 'bring' to Iraq?

Initially over 600 people were labeled "terrorist" and held prisoner: in No-Man's land without rights, evidence, witnesses, visitors, Geneva Conventions, lawyers, trial dates or dignity. Hell, people Actually proven to rape and murder children get better treatment.

How long could YOU be held under such conditions until you became a "terrorist"?

If a member of YOUR family was arrested: would you fiercely contend that they were to be Presumed innocent --unless a recognized process declared otherwise? WHY aren't GITMO prisoners owed the same?

Leaders of other countries have protested and demanded return of their citizens. White House has released over 150 people. Why? They claim: GITMO prisoners are the most dangerous people on earth, so why let ANY go --IF they have the Proof? IF they Have PROOF: why aren't they presenting it in a court? Prime Minister Tony Blair of England has criticized White House administration and called for prison to be shut down.

Making "appointments" for Red Cross to enter GITMO: EXACTLY what nazis did in the death camps. IF their statements can be believed: approximately 465 non-Americans remain in No-Country's prison. Three of them killed themselves rather than go on. Several are on hunger-strike, being tied down, force-fed through tubes inserted in the nose. THIS IS SHAMEFUL. The White House that had them arrested, held, refused them legal due process: has brought shame on Americans --ALL of us.

White House administration is spying on Americans' phone calls, e-mails WITHOUT any court's orders, in direct Violation of Constitution, and has allowed Millions of illegals to enter the country and work low-wage jobs once held by Americans. PROOF White House administration Doesn't give a Damn about “Democracy” --Ignorant, non-English speaking population is weak and the more of them: the better for THEM and their corporate pals. These people Respect NOBODY and NO Laws.

If you Don't Protest, demand shut-down of that Stench: Don't cry, don't look for sympathy when they come for YOU. Do NOT whine if this country is attacked --again.

~"Charlie Rose" --Happily No Charlie...

2006-06-10T01:20:00.000-07:00

If you don't know: at an hour when most areas are stuck with slow-drip drivel of local "news," PBS airs "Charlie Rose Show," hosted by Southerner Charlie Rose. Program opens, most nights, with significant events of the day, details, political ramifications, perspective by analysts, reporters, specialists knowledgeable about the event.

Rose has been away, since about mid-March. In his absense: Past three months show has been wildly uneven, unexpected, unusual and Tterriffic. Guest hosts not just good but Superb have done the interviewing: Veteran print -TV reporters, authors, specialists from various fields; xxtreme conservatives, 'interviewing' like minded with baited leading 'questions.' --Nothing about it predictable. The producer or Booker or whomever has been choosing outstanding hosts paired with excellent unusual guests.

The good:
-Array spanning architects, authors, analysts, artists, auteurs; interspersed with anarchists, arch conservatives, actors and a**es. That's just the A list. -Conversation, debate deep enough for in-depth insight, background facts, thought process/personality of the guest; ideas; sometimes original thinking
-No music, hype, gimmicks
-No flogged drugs -cars -sugary cereal crap interruptions
-Stand-alone in-depth conversation, excellent questions, original answers

The bad:
-Charlie Rose. He makes what probably most viewers think is a good attempt at impartiality. HAH. When he's talking to a woman or to a Democrat: he does, by this author's count, one to all of about five things, that reveal his feelings about the guest and/or their viewpoint; he can't help himself --it leaks. An intellectual Democrat, female smarter than he --particularly repugnant: count goes up to seven or even eight ways that reveal his reaction --while his words oh-so-seemingly benign....

The ugly:
-Too often an egoist is at the table flogging his/her latest waste of what was once perfectly good raw film stock
-Sometimes they get bite of the whole hour. Boring bits to give a pass.
-Rose's not-disguised support --for he who steals elections; near-refusal of expressed criticism of him

Sadly, since his name is on the door, eventually Rose will return, along with viewer wincing at conversations with women, Democrats, et al.... Too bad, cuz the way the show is is so fine.... Extreme conservatives, 'interviewing' like minded with baited leading 'questions'...authors interviewing artists....

It way does not rise to the level of intellectuality, wit or charm of much-missed "Dick Cavett Show," but some rare nights it makes a run at it that mollifies the loss of that show, almost.

~US Took Out Terrorist? Questions...

2006-06-08T18:57:00.000-07:00

US Military press conferences to announce they killed the terrorist who supposedly master-minded killings, explosions, destruction in Iraq. Hmmm...shoved Marine murders right off every front page and TV station...surprise, surprise...But: leaves a few questions.

Why is US Military in front of cameras, Taking Credit? President of Vice, Chief of Joints who quit, the Rummy, the Wolf, the Perl, the CIA toady Tenant, the "doctor" and the occupant --identical words on camera: 'things' are getting better cuz Iraqis will/going to/have/are --forming a government, having election/ will vote/care about/have voted --'will govern and protect their country themselves.'

IF Washington Means it: why weren't Iraqi leaders the ones --in Front --in every way, taking credit for the Planning, the Executing of attack on the terrorist of Iraqis, military, aide workers, contractors, reporters, foriegn civilians; destroyer of mosques, homes, pipe lines, clean water, electricity? THAT would have showed Iraqis: their government is capable and protecting them. THAT would have shown the world: White House is Serious about Iraqis taking care of themselves. THAT would have showed respect.... Why didn't it happen?

Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest?
Country with 5,000 years of culture, history, knowledge --full of people Smart enough to "make weapons of mass destruction" --"reason" for invasion --but NOT smart enough to carry out attack on One terrorist??? Just Exactly How is Iraqi government going to DO their job if US military Don't get out of the way, let THEM lead? There was a full-standing army in place when US military invaded, but, gee they know Nothing about strategy, discipline, fighting? Well, they're giving good imitation, Every Day. Picture the whole scene, but with Iraqis doing the answering of reporters' questions....

Press reported that US intelligence claimed they knew the Who, What, Where on the terrorist who was orchestrating the violence inside Iraq --INCLUDING his picture, Jordanian nationality, a wife and a son in Jordan, age, associates, history, etc. Ever since, this author has wondered: if they KNEW, Why didn't they scoop up the wife and/or the son and announce they would be held captive until terrorist put down his weapons/turned himself in?

No Go on the Info???
IF this war is Real --not stage-managed to capture oil, why DIDN'T Secretary of Defense do everything to STOP after-invasion violence and murders BEFORE Iraq exploded? Would they have used 500 lb bombs on a "dead-ender"?

If using specious evidence to get others to join in invading a country, that did not attack this country, can accurately be labeled "war": why weren't all possible methods used to stop after-invasion violence --Before it exploded into house-to-house combat, murder, explosion, destruction, grief --when they knew that was coming if they invaded? Why did "Defense" Secretary order Generals NOT to even read "After Invasion Preparedness" papers --written long before the invasion?

After-Invasion How To: --thousands of pages, written by the knowlegable been there-done that, on the protection of borders, natives, museums, offices, documents, hospitals, schools, libraries, universities; medical supplies, food, roads, infrastructure, oil fields, generators, electricity grid, roads, airport, communities, mosques, institutions; reconstruction; organization; security; coordination of leaders, teachers, police, military and medical staffs? --EVERY Part of After-invasion --NOT allowed to read???

President of Vice stated 'they're no threat'..."Defense" Secretary: "dead-enders." So US Military didn't, duh, do any better than professional, trained, scientific inspectors --on hunt for weapons of massive destruction, but way DID find caches of rockets, bullets, mortars, launchers, et al --and Walked Away, leaving NO body to guard --uh, Why?

The real answer: It isn't Real? What comes out of White House toadies is Blather, meant to pacify --somebody, somewhere? NO MEANING? US Army Basic Training: takes six - eight -twelve weeks? Say it takes 24 weeks. What's with: Three YEARS of 'training'? Oval Office crowd WANTS a strong, disciplined, trained Iraqi military? Or: 'Gotta keep fighting terrorists' ad nausea --suits their goals --as they send nation's Guard Back to Iraq, swipe rights, nominate/install 'macho men' who can't form coherent plan or sentence, properly secure peace or a laptop or even CDs.... Hell, they fire the competent/any who disagree with them.

A 500lb bomb...means pretty much everything into pulp? --TWO such bombs --on single story, brick & mortar structure guarentees it? Guarentees no answers, no trial.... But that amount of explosive: how does terrorist's face and head emerge intact?

"$25 million--MILLION--bucks" reward??? Why not $10,000 --$100,000 --even $1 million bucks reward on terrorist's head? In a country with 80 -90% unemployment, thanks to genius planners, WHERE was --common sense? Well, Hell not coming out of THEIR pockets, but WHAT do those people Use for brains? WHERE was, duh, a Time Limit on the reward? The "winner" will do what with the money? Buy bullets?

They CAN however, issue $11 BILLION dollar checks, to relatives, in
'friendly' 'helpful' states --Immediately after emergencies; No-bid/No compete contracts to pals & former employers; spy on domestic phone calls, e-mail, library books, movie rentals --and call for national ID card --while claiming to be looking for terrorists --while spying on AMERICANS --without court-approved orders --to increase control, power. But they can't state real reasons --before, during, after invading a country that did NOT attack this one? They don't know How/Care about competence, actual defense, doing the right thing or anything that doesn't net Them tons of cash, more power?

Fiscal responsibility, upholding of Constitution, international law, treaties, rights --protection of Iraqis, borders? Over two years of planning but inadequate troops, supplies and equipment? Massive waste larded with fraud and pedophiles in "homeland" "security" and clever deals to lease ports, but not screen cargo or secure US borders? Photo ops with the wife, now Rose Garden pop-up "news" "conferences." Like the setting somehow improves the content. More deck-chair arrangements....

For our money we get: nearly 500 sitting in No Man's land limbo, without charges, evidence or trial dates...nearly 50,000 (--100,000?) missing legs, arms, eyes, hands and family members; nearly 3,000 American dead; No security in Iraq, Afghanistan, Mississippi, New York, Washington, New Orleans or in between either border --or attendence at military funerals, not even one.

But they did fire the photographer after she dared to shoot flag-draped coffins returning to Dover airfield. They don't got a problem with the BEFORE photos, only with the AFTER ones. Guess they thought Actually showing all those coffins at once was 'bad' PR.... Curious: When anyone of them asked about reporters denied access at Dover...mysteriously: EVERY one says EXACT same answer....

President of Vice served in which branch? Occupant has how much combat experience? Nation's Guard sent --Out of the country --un-trained, ill-equiped??? So many ways, we got biggest mess in history of this country? Two oil boys..."religious" ones... hell-bent on welfare for the wealthy...using war? Whudda Thunk it: more dangerous, more harmful than Tricky Dick....

"Some day the people will demand peace
and we will have to get out of their way and let them have it."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Death of one sick terrorist: changes what? White House crowd has done what to affect Root cause of hatred of US? Those who on Tuesday hated us and the British don't hate us on Thursday after terrorist's death? Americans will get rights, privacy back? Now we're secure?

One terrorist, one militant religious advisor: dead. What difference? Iraqi families will be able to grocery shop safely? Electricity will run 24/7? Post traumatic stress will disappear? White House Proved democracy could be inserted on others at the end of automatic rifle? Iraqi oil will now repay US Treasury? $9 BILLION disappeared bucks will magically re-appear? US military will be home this week-end? Price of oil will go down to match actual demand? And porcines will be airborne....

~"Sat on Info 18 hours" --or 18 Months?

2006-06-08T05:05:00.000-07:00

Chiefs, Secretaries, Joints first fire civil servants, police, entire military and nation's guard, then label them "dead-enders" then 'disgruntled' then "insurgents" when US military starts drawing fire. Then They drop the labels, identify the leader, slap up his picture and cite him in briefings, by name. They find out in "February" what happened in November with Marines, supposedly inform their boss in March, but paid surviving family members 'death compensation' When? They sit on the pictures, the evidence and the story till US media report it. They got a PR firm, reportedly at $35,000. a month, and an ad agency consultant on staff. You remember the ad agency consultant, dontcha? She's the genius behind "Mission Accomplished."

They know WHO he is, they know what he looks like, they know what he's doing, they know How he's doing it and who he's doing it with, they know he's inside Iraq --But: they don't go after him till NOW???

So: They 'can't'/don't find him till AFTER the start of Formal 'inquiry'/Iraqi/ Congressional/Military investigations on Marines begin.

Usually this author lets some time pass, for various things to float to the top, before commenting. Not this time: They 'JUST NOW' got info on his hide-out location and only 'sat on it for 18 hours' before hitting the target? The military grunts sure are free to believe that, so is the US media and so are you. But me: They got a PR firm, reportedly at $35,000. a month, and an ad agency consultant on staff. They pumped $62 million bucks into a TV "news" station in Iraq and paid reporters to put stories in Middle Eastern newspapers, their version of news. It's a rare week they Don't manage the news and it's timing; release stinking stuff Fridays after reporters have split, crook their fingers at reporters to come Hither when the Real story is Yonder. i.e., Morning departure for a "conference" in Europe On the day FCC votes on allowing Mega-bloated media to engorge themselves. i.e., They tried to manage entire front pages with "Report" of Union, but the Universe screwed them Good --with announcement of the passing of Mrs. Coretta Scott King...on a day that meant she dominated front pages, not him....

Joint of the Marines hot-foots over to Iraq NOW --to give Marines a lecture on 'character' and 'values'??? Where was the lecture Before they were shipped to Iraq --or immediately After they got the news? WHY does he sprint over the Same week news of the murders of Iraqi families hits the public? Where were the reinforcements OR the replacements for exhausted troops, inadequate number? What the hell is America doing in Iraq?

At a time when, reportedly, Marines have shamed Americans, WHAT Could Possibly look better, or dwarf the story.... They got a PR firm, reportedly at $35,000. a month, and an ad agency consultant on staff. Two and a half more years....

~Pop Quiz: Who Doesn't Hate Us?

2006-06-03T16:30:00.000-07:00

In case you’ve been on some other planet for six years: person squatting in White House Oval Office now has a Perfect record –Entire world despises us. No? Name ONE country that doesn’t have fear, loathing or contempt for us. Feel free to Post answer –just as soon as you can think of one.

England? It has been reported that Prime Minister Tony Blair talked to former President Clinton after the election and was told ‘thumbs up’: ‘Oh, yes –get together with him, ya, that’ll be good.’ Unfortunately: Blair listened. England was converted from no-lover of right-wingers into ‘coalition camp follower’ –and got dragged straight into Iraq. British soldiers: died, got captured, committed crimes –on specious evidence. Now stuck there. The only way Blair could get another term: promise he’d never run again afterwards. Yup, just roll’n in the Isles over us.

Spain? Their moderate leaders’ joining of march into Hell: netted massive bombing that slaughtered over 200 and injured many on their way to work. Endeared us to Spaniards? They couldn't change leadership fast enough, but it's done now.

Italy? Right-wing leader joined the parade into and now out of, with deaths, kidnappings, beheadings in between. Italians dumped him in recent election.

Japan? They don’t even trust the beef we ‘produce’ let alone the policies.

Russia? Putin’s eyeballs –haven’t exactly worked out. Neither has occupant’s “policies” –or President of Vice actually standing in Russia to deliver lectures –on ‘How to Run a “Democracy”’…we’re Such good lecturers –and lovers of democracy –and of spying, how else to explain the “patriot” act...such Good Ideas....

France? French smelled a rat when they looked at the Iraq 'evidence' and refused to hit the road –which got them? The “base” came through –real champs: Champagne, French wine dumped down the drain –yup, our heroes, proved they were Real men –on fruit of the grape; cheese boycott for extra zing, weenies on cameras told ‘em off real good.

Colombia? You're thinking –of the Billions we ship them every year, so surely they're wild for us? They're wild alright, about the TONS of toxins we dump on them, our clever way of 'eliminating' their drug problem.

Venezuela? Uh…American “religious” “leader” used his face time –to urge murder of their president, nice go’n…and really, the Bible is so useful for hate and murder and international policy...Yup, what better use of US intelligence agents, which would, Duh, solve our oil probs, with Grand Theft.... Heck they’re into Keystone Kops imitations and just kill’n time not shipping kidnapped people on private jets to places where they uh-eh “don’t” do torture, and hang'n at your local library, just checking on what you're checking out. –Heck why not send ‘em on down to do a bit of assassination. Anyway: sending heating oil TO poor people in THIS country was uhm, so rude? IF the squatter Wanted poor people to have inexpensive oil to heat their homes in winter, HE could have done it.

Afghanistan? So fond of Americans that when a US military truck crashed into parked cars and pedestrians their First Thought? Accident? –heck no, intentional –so they attacked the military. What does that say about liberating them –and the Rummy's PR on after-quake aide? Hey Rummy: WHY were the brakes shot? WHEN will promises –hospitals, roads, schools, infrastructure, stability, Be kept? Some way to support themselves??? Hey, Maybe you didn't notice: largest poppy crop ever got harvested...nice go'n, thanks. Great job creating jobs...is your plan: enough of their export is imported here nobody will notice your job performance?

Mexico? We do have a formal trade agreement with them, remember? Ya, they do too, US corporations are using it to pay $1. an hour wages, hire children and dump toxins into their water-ways. Ya, they’re wild about us down there. Especially the part where US businesses advertise in Mexican newspapers, and when Mexicans get into the country to apply for the listed job openings, “religious” ‘base’ wants them declared criminals, arrested and shipped back. –While the business owners plead ‘ignorance’ and Duh, no Idea how to call Social Security to verify anything, while they count their money and trash the middle class. Cute.

Saudi Arabia? Well, the ruling royals love our restaurants, stores, gold plumbing fixtures. –But the citizens with satellite dish, but no career, job or future –not so much.

Iraq? Even though The Rummy and ex Chief of Joints Dickey Myers got marching orders ON Inauguration Day –some two Years before invading, couldn’t get it in gear, so they went to “war” on the cheap –missing water, vests, hardened transport, night goggles, translators, working weapons, adequate bullets –maps, intelligence and troops –nevermind Actual EVIDENCE, True reasons or After-Invasion Plans. Well, shucks, they are all men, the species well-known for not wanting to ask directions. So annoying to them, Also missing: compliance with international treaties, Geneva Conventions, US law, Military Code of Conduct, ethics, respect for natives, electricity, in-country security, working pipeline, American media willing to look the other way, $9 BILLION bucks, rose petals, kisses and Truth.

China? Well, it doesn’t exactly Matter whether Chinese like us or not: we owe them sooo much money, cuz the occupant has spent Everything that was in the Treasury –plus given the rich so much money, if Chinese government reps don’t show up at our bond debt auctions any week –white knuckles appear, of people we never see. –They’re hiding in dark rooms, trying to control their Fear.

How about the countries that want to stop degredation of planet's environment? Oval Office occupant told the 187 worried Kyoto-signature countries: he was just looking out –for his corporate benefactors with the fat check-books –told the world ‘get lost’ cuz it wasn't good for biz and he wasn't signing on –then blew ‘em off. So clever. Now we don’t got to bother with ‘em, only with melting ice caps, soaring gases, heating up oceans, stranded Polar bears, mutant frogs, disappearing fish, songbirds, plants and rare species and stuff…but hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding prolly no biggy….

Say, is it true: at the rate oil is being pulled out of the ground causing massive earthquakes....

How about the countries where they have our exports –you know, gar-bage on a bun for a buck, coffee stamped with a green circle, and all the rest –where the locals Can’t possibly provide food as good, loaded with trans-fats, toxins, high fructose sugar, stuff that makes it last –like cockroaches: if a bomb hits, manufactured American stuff will still survive. If US corporate geniuses could find a way to shove that stuff harder: they could get Asians to be as morbidly obese, loaded with as much lard and diabetes as us. Well, if GM can figure out how to turn a healthy, bicycle-ridding nation into a world-class polluting octopus for oil, the rest of our corporate CEOs will prolly find a way, just like First Pal convict Kenny-babe did for Enron.

So who does that leave, exactly –which country Doesn’t despise us?

To: Conservative –right-winger –extreme right-winger and “religious” supporter of this White House regime, Here’s a question: When, which week –what event will have to happen for you to Finally Get it?

Is “Guest” pass for 12 –15 million law-breakers to help his pals Finally enough for you to wise up? Has it dawned yet: the September 11 terrorists got into the country –on planes, in Business Class, not through the desert. But that isn't stopping the regime from now calling for NATIONAL ID cards....

If you owned a business selling used cars and your salesperson couldn’t sell any cars: would you fire the hump and get a new one? Oh, to have British form of government –calling for elections when they are displeased with government employees, no waiting.

How many more ice caps –hurricanes…trapped miners…stripped mountain tops…trees in nation’s parks…stolen water –how many more deaths in the desert…toxins dumped into waterways…soaring cancer –asthma –mass exodus of CIA agents...while President of Vice with his Halitosis and tap Root into Treasury –has to kill how many more in two More years for you to Get it….

It’s hard to be healthy when the chief salesman is bending every agency, government employee to abet corporate pals, spy on citizens, Plus use non-wealthy Americans for canon fodder to increase profits and protect oil....

Can you name even One thing he's done correctly/well or a country that still believes we are super?

The regime THE worst thing that ever happened to this country: We gotta Dump the Hump…or at least render him impotent –fire Every one of his cronies sucking up oxygen in Congress…so he can't shove any more damage through. It's him –or it's this country.... The election in November is our Last chance.

2006-06-01T23:30:00.000-07:00

HEY Right-wingers –If Marines went on murderous rampage, families, grandmothers, babies shot dead, each killed in bed…

Hey –Running Lardbutt –“religious” robber-barons, FOX “news” watcher-wingers –James Carville’s spouse, Ms. Annthrax Coldtart, Good Ol boys –ALL you Right-wingers: upset –at murderous Marines? Why?

When Oval Office occupant demanded we lob canon fodder Reservists and teens into faraway desert ravines –weren’t you all bouncy as new collard greens? He –Paid a liar $350,000 a Month, to hear what he wanted to hear in his ear by any means. When WMD inspectors hot on the trail of Nothing scenes –they yanked them by the jeans, to keep them from spilling the beans. But when he –“doctor” Condo –the Dick, the Wolf and the Perl couldn’t get reluctant French to assemble their machines –YOU Happily dumped their wine down latrines.

When Dicky Myers repeated all the “reasons” like some stinking comic’s routines –you just looked away, imitating giant Holsteins. President of Vice –aide to Halitosis, tap Root into US Treasury all like cozy sardines. –Thousands of prepped pages of after-war scenes, but on the way the Rummy again intervenes, so generals get orders to use them for sunscreens –you somehow surprised, at disappeared ancient museum figurines….

YOU merely watched as the Fired Army, National Guard and police reconvenes –while found stashes of weapons, rockets, armory guarded by NO means, and $62 Million crammed into TV propaganda demeans. When two wedding parties meet with carbines –Secretary of “Defense” no problem they were mashed to smithereens –you didn’t even notice, so busy off hating queens.

John O’Neal: brilliant FBI agent classy man of brains and of means, booted by FBI robotic management machines, but first he connected ALL the dots of wolverines, then off to head Tower Security on day of his death when it careens –you, ignorant indifferent buried in routines. NOW you’re surprised???

Occupant “accepted” “full responsibility” –Glug glug relief failures –means? Affect any different than just sucking down plate of pork and beans? When no-bid no-compete contracts funds cake in elegant canteens –who, Which leadership will pay for deaths by greens?

He got the job the first time on greasy pole swung by no—longer supreme court, which stopped the clock on counting ballots –then claimed there “wasn’t enough time to count ballots.” He got back in the second time by greased “vote” machines, cranked up with help from its Republican CEO and his vow to “help” the count. –Hence the title “occupant” –in case you were wondering. People are tortured, humiliated, abused –in prison, thrown in on no evidence, no charges, no witnesses, no rights, no notice, no trial dates. From “liberator” to occupier” –on memos asking “Why can’t people be forced to stand longer than the twelve hours I stand every day.” –Dogs to terrorize –yet “somehow” different than the terrorizer they replaced? Failure to supply supplies in time of war: an act of Treason? No???

“Chief” of the joints –charged with looking out for the military –did what? You were surprised he ran away to hide his head in “retirement”? WHAT did you Expect would happen: when chief terrorizer isn’t hauled up before Congress –court –tribunal –court Marshall –ANY authority to answer for his crimes? Hell, occupant, also not held in chains, defends him ad nausea. But: after five hours of search and destroy –on top of 32 MONTHS of ravaging: when the bills, AKA Death Compensation, went UP the chain who dares call it “mystery” or “unknown”? If you throw a pregnant grunt into the slammer –sole blame for torture, abuse without Order Givers joining her: WHAT did you Expect?

When you see ‘lecturer’ –in full military drag at the church podium and your reaction is applause: WHY did you expect the youth lobbed from such to be any ‘better’ than you? WHEN, which week –month do you wise up: they found out Which words you wanted to hear –to get your wallet un-locked, then crammed the words into occupant’s mouth –till you gave –gave –gave, till his cup ranith over with cash.

You got your “war” your military “might” –your Republican House, your Republican Senate, your country reeking of Republican-controlls. Controllers who changed bankruptcy, tax, injury claims, retirement, insurance, coal mines, logging, dumping, drug giveaway laws –to benefit THEM, so what did you Expect?

Neighbors ratted out their friends for the $70. US bucks US military handed out for “terrorists” –that now pack Gitmo. Now what? WHY are you upset –corporations' ads in Mexican newspapers –netted millions of illegals –WHY are you angry Now? THEY got all they wanted and much more –without a whimper out of YOU. What did You get? Jails, prisons packed full, the good-paying jobs lobbed overseas. YOU Got: the military -chain of command -Congress -Oval Office your money bought. So, No really, Now what?

A Pox on NBC?

2006-05-21T21:46:00.000-07:00

"The West Wing" is CLOSED. NBC's Anne Coughs-up-beefless-stew, Jay Leans-to-the-right, while poise boys pose for the stockholders, the advertisers, the Pentagon -don't give a damn about ethics, oversight or you, unless you got a certain number, but they are keen to serve you up to fat-cat corporations, while ignoring their responsibility, privileges, obligations.

Slop
Can Anyone Anywhere pack more slobbering emotion into a sentence than Anne Coughs-up? Makes Diane Sawyer look like only a drama queen. Well, Pebble Screwdriver does Try, but he's no match for the Drip Queen. . . . Jay Leans-to-the-right serves up his choices for political office, unhampered by quality, Fairness, laws, ethics, opposition candidates. . . while "The West Wing" had too much depth, breadth, ideas, quality for the corporate crowd. . . .

There are dozens -hundreds? of stories, reports, inquiries they Could be doing, on Congress, Pentagon, agencies, "doctor" Condo. . .people, think tanks, universities with solutions. . . . But Nope, their Only interest is self-interest, serving up 'certain' numbers with 'certain' ages. . .to cram more bucks down their trousers. So the finest writing ever put on air waves is in the shredder, back to flicking pablum at you. A Pox on all their heads.

Remedy
They are using OUR air waves. But NothingButCrap can't be bothered to meet it's obligation granted by FCC, Another entity that Isn't performing its obligations TO/FOR Americans. Get them in the only place that matters to them, where it hurts: financially.
If you work for a city or a school, in a trade or hospitality, for an employer with an employee pension fund: find out if the fund owns any stock in GE (parent) or any of it's subsidiaries.
If so, ask your co-workers to join you in asking the fund manager: to dump the stock.

Remedy
Watch the Crap Corp., "mute" on, long enough to grab some advertiser names. Send the advertisers notice: you won't be using their products as long as they advertise at NumbskullBoringCentral, as long as our air waves used to dish garbage, ignore responsibility to be eyes, ears for us, to watch government. We can survive without another "Joey" -we can't survive if dictatorship is installed, thin layer on layer -with no media attention, no media megaphone, no warning.

"West Wing" –Are You Too Dumb?

2006-05-17T08:00:00.000-07:00

The genius-wannabes running NBC looked at the critics’ acclaim, the public’s reception, the quality of the only reason to watch the network and? Canceled “West Wing.” Why?

Early on the wannabe bean-counters –wanting to make a contribution: Told “West Wing” creator Aaron Sorkin –‘write faster’ – to speed up production –to save money. Clever boys. Creator? He stepped off. Gosh we’re lucky –Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Paine and that crowd didn’t have NBC genius-wannabes breathing down their necks to ‘hurry on up’ with Bill o’ Rights, Constitution stuff, what with all their revisions. So why did they cancel “West Wing”? Decided –you’re too dumb to get it?

Genius bean-counters axed –the brilliant language, the intricacies –the rare look behind the scene –the deft occasional Biblical –Shakespearian -Dickensian references, among others –the deft occasional humor –the philosophical, moral, ethical push-pull that was each riveting episode why? Cuz. . .you are –after all these seasons –suddenly –dimmer than an old light bulb?

Why did the groupies of creativity decide –you’re not smart enough –can’t get your brain cranked high enough –to ‘get it’ any more? Uh, You ARE ‘smart enough’ to rent cars –buy lower-priced clothing –ask your doctor –about all the drugs flogged non-stop –for the sponsors who shelled out serious money to get time on the last show. –You’re “smart” enough –for NBC to promote itself and whatever junk is coming down the airshaft next September, non-stop. So when, how did you get so dumb? Would that be at the point where bosses of the ‘geniuses’ decided –pay-back time –to their Patron?

Once Upon a Time, Thanks to, uhm, Washington weenies: once-superb NBC network was sold –to an arms dealer. Naw, not that kind, the “good” kind. –You didn’t know there were ‘good’ weapons –dealers? Oh, ya, there are –the kind that makes weapons that kill –for our side; the kind that go BOOM for the Pentagon boys. The BOOM boys, smothered in Wall Street-layered respectability, swallowed up NBC, since nobody who mattered, like American voters, had a way to object to the buy-up. Then one day the BOOM boys clicked on one of their other products, light bulbs, and decided they wanted: More. Mooore! The ‘more’? They and others just like them, mega-money missionaries, wanted firewall between radio-TV-newspapers-Internet in a single market –ripped down; own what they wanted, as much of it as they wanted –without any whining –to “maximize” the money. AKA: spread money on owners of their stock to shut them up and pour the rest over their own heads. Now the annoying, for them, part: laws all over the place stamped ‘Nope’ –can’t swallow all the media in one town.

BOOM boys sidled up oh-so-quietly to oh-so-respectable Congress members to cut deals to get what they wanted. BOOM boys rode into Washington with a ton of dough, and found –familiar faces –warm reception –and a lover of dough –perched, waiting. What A Coincidence. Then they went over to the building where Colin Powell, who used to have the job looking out for the interests of the Whole country, Secretary of State, had his kid, Mickey, working –how lucky was that! his kid had a job at Federal Communications Commission, FCC. Now even though the Public –Americans –you -us –we own the airwaves, Mickey got to decide who could ‘rent’ those airwaves –at bargain prices. Mickey Powell, like his daddy, learned ya gotta go-along to get along, so he wasn’t about to make splish-splash. Mickey –even though a federal judge said he screwed up, told the country: some people wanted to offer Americans “more” –by consolidating all the media –under one roof, theirs –in each town. ‘Somehow’: It would be “Better.”

Plenty –didn’t think Less owners of more –was going to Be “More” –so they asked Mickey Powell NOT to let the BOOM dough-spreading boys get more. National Rifle Association –owners of not-profitable small newspapers –whacky union members –golfers –university presidents, knitters, radio station owners, parents, intellectuals, housewives, clergy, small business owners, mayors, PTAs, governors, college coeds, this author –lovers of music, investigative journalism, independence –all manner of ‘goofy’ folks wanted coverage –control –independence in their small/medium/large communities, towns, cities in every little part of the US. –Hunters –artists –ACLU –Bleeding-heart ‘commies’ and right-wing whackos –on the same side??? Two Million plus asked, wrote, begged Mickey –Not to rip down laws that have protected democracy since this country’s inception; So many: FCC’s website, receptionists, fax machines –crashed.

Result?
You forgot what he decided? As he stepped on a plane headed to Nothing important in Europe, the occupant expected press to follow –his every meaningless move thataway –to distract the kiddies at home, while Mickey Powell held the Vote thisaway. . . .

Then they and all their kind all went along with getting inserted inside tanks, seeing, understanding, explaining –Examining Absolutely NOTHING as fish-eye-view embeds of war, when Oval Office desk jockey decided to go after another country’s oil –to supply/Save you –from …something. . . .

After the BOOM boys got all the Best Dough Can Buy, NBC –deep investigative coverage –of moviedom airheads’ –every twitch. Journalist, with a reporter’s career, anchor Tom Brokaw: replaced with a person who began his “journalism” career typing copy –into a TelePrompTer, written by others. Giggle factor, emotion-slathered “news” and shoe showings soared –on once-superb “Today” show. Superb Jane Pauley got shoved. “Dateline” sucks up oxygen with worm’s-eye view of underwear and old murder cases, illuminating precisely NOTHING, as firewall of hard news and fluff get slimed. Nightly newish news –skips over details, facts, depth. Jay Leans-a-lot helps Republicans get elected, can’t find room on his couch for opposition candidates or fairness or anything remotely amusing. Red-headed bore slotted into later considers his hair obsession and jumping the same as wit, humor. Just the promos for ‘Law. . .Indecent Crimes’ instills desire for a shower, how much lower can they go. “ER” past its sell-by date, since they neither any more hire quality writers or give a damn. It's easy to see why Katie would flee; if you have any connection to intervention company: try to hire for excellent Meredith Vierra, who now needs it. Their Idea of comedy: “Joey.” Oy –Can Anybody say: “N-B-C W-H-I-T-E P-A-P-E-R”?

Just the One
So there was One island of quality in untreated sewage run-off still standing…“West Wing”…with characters portraying what Smart government would be like –if we were lucky enough, if we demanded –government that functioned by angling to get the Most of the good, for the most good, weaving Around the junk. Suddenly –show ‘costs too much’ –make-up, hair people hired at apparently bargain-basement rates, to get hair styles so bad suddenly: everybody looked like dyed pompadour parodies –slathered in over-sized lips, giant eyebrows, bright cheek circles. Suddenly: the Possible, shown week after week, was inching up –next national election in November, the one in which majority-in-charge could get neutered.

Did the mega-media BOOM boys cancel “West Wing” –to benefit their benefactor(s)? Is there –a mole somewhere, to say the BOOM boys pulled the plug ‘just in time’ –favor for Mickey –carrying Oval Office’s “water” –allowing BOOM boys to own more media? Nope, at least, none has spoken –yet…maybe: we’ll get somebody’s memoir in a decade –some connected somebody, saying somebody dropped two quarters on the fat-cat BOOM boys –told them it was time, to pull electrical cord on “West Wing.” –The right time, While: you’re busy seeing still-squashed houses in Gulf Coast, water rising against ancient infrastructure in the East. . .the (still?) First Pal Kenny IN the dock for looting Enron-source of life-style. . . while the un-polished get shoved in front of cameras to get fired, at bargain day-rate, others “dazzle” with greedy box-lid flipping ‘deals/no deals’ for money. . .while you are whip-sawed with punctured wallet –levitating cost to get into work, swamped with the illegal-swamping, the dwindling prospects. . . while Mystic Moochers insert themselves into politics…to benefit their own tithe plates….

Maybe you suddenly got ‘dumb’ –Maybe you’re so dumb you Don’t mind having your phone tapped –to “protect” you. . .But maybe: you DON’T need to have an “Identity” card so that incompetent spy agencies –can spy –on you, while your own government yanks your rights, your privacy, your ability to prosper, serves you up to corporations. . . . Can’t we all just –have Life Imitate TV?

What is the Remedy –to slithering Bill-Given Rights? It’s hard to be healthy, disease-free, happy –while living with/in fear of one’s own government –eroding rights, quality, democracy.

Remedy
How much more floating-in-sewage. . . current Oval Office occupant, majority-party don’t give a damn about non-oil, non-donors
You DON’T need latest tech toy, new shoes –bank debt to eat out –plus thirty years of interest; that's not the way to look out for yourself

-You need to realize: Save –twenty-five to thirty percent of every dollar you see –IF you are to survive what’s coming

-Your employer offers 401k, any pension plan?
Find out, employer’s contribution amount –demand as much percentage as you can get, sign up –this week.

-If No Employer-Pension plan: get a ROTH, through a bank, if you qualify

–Get additional savings account, whatever’s possible
Save Save Save

Remedy –for disappearing democracy
Drop some quarters to buy a newspaper, big, small, both at least once a week. They’re looking out for us, pay them back. Read news on-line? Give ‘em a click, any relevant product, service to you. If they don’t get financial support, they won’t be around to look out for us.

Remedy
Organize a petition –demand: local TV do more/better local political coverage, of local government, of local issues, of local elections –minus the celebrity crap. Engage co-workers –with PTA, sports parents, singles group, poker pals –That’s your legacy, to the next generation, those people are chewing up, spitting out all over your community.

Those airwaves media giants using belong to us –you don’t protest how they are being used, don’t whine when media giants go on another spending spree –like oil companies did, till there is no competition, like Big Six oil. If giant media allowed to buy up competition: they DON'T have to care what you, your community wants, what coverage "boring" local politics, government gets. Bosom buddy of the occupant: owns more than one thousand radio stations, playing canned elevator music –by remote control, no person in the booth to cut in to give emergency warning notices of anything; just pabulum 24/7. How Much Money is Enough for those people?

Remedy –for BOOM boys of NBC?
Reward NBC with a >click –DELETE key on the remote –you won’t miss anything, they won’t mind, hell, they don’t mind now.

Revlon Run: Cancer “Cure”?

2006-05-13T04:45:00.000-07:00

Smart passionate people asked cosmetics giant Revlon Inc. to get involved –to fund events –to raise funds –to find a “cure” for a disease –that affects their market, women. Revlon’s response: “Run for the Cure.” Is this a good thing? Where’s the bad? What are the politics –of cancer “cure”? –The whole thing: Breath-taking.

The smart, passionate people –lots of people, would like an end to cancer, not just breast cancer. It’s not un-reasonable –to ask a giant corporation who makes money off the affected market, to help. For Revlon: it was a no-brainer to say “yes” –to participate in raising money for a “cure” –where’s the bad? It doesn’t cost them much: they get free positive media coverage, runners get donations, add to the ‘pot’ –Revlon gets good ‘disease’ PR. Heck, they would have to be stupid NOT to get involved. Politics –of disease “search”? THAT’S a different subject.

Petroleum –price and use are in the news non-stop lately. Are you using petroleum –on your body? Check the label of every personal care product you have for: PEG, PG, Glycol. –All are short for propyl glycol, petroleum. What is a product made for your car –windshield wipers –brakes doing in your body? It makes personal care products –moisturizer, body cream, hand lotion, thousands of products: smooth. Seeps through skin, winds up in the liver. Except: this is fossil fuel that has been processed, isn’t natural/not found in Nature in this form, with Man-made chemicals added. Is what goes ON the body any different than what goes IN the body? Not to the body: it seeps through skin, eyes, scalp, nails. Whatever goes IN: enters the liver. So when it hits the liver? The liver can not ‘recognize’ process or excrete. So? Tiny amounts sit in the liver, layer upon layer, year after year.

Why is product manufactured for cars allowed to be used on human body?

FDA
Have you ever thought about: lipstick? What do they use to make, the color? How about: red dye, yellow –blue –green dye. –All KNOWN carcinogens, all known to cause cancer. If a cosmetic producer doesn’t use dye –substitute? Ground up wings of a particular beetle. Nice.

Consider: FDA has a Legal Mandate. FDA: May Not allow any known carcinogen to be used –consumed, in the marketplace. So why is dye, other toxic products allowed in cosmetics? It’s ‘Hands-Off’ for cosmetics industry. Consider: FDA, Food & Drug Administration, barred by law from over-seeing cosmetics. Why?

Like the way Revlon products smell? Consider: What are the ingredients –in any perfume? Perfume/cosmetics industry doesn’t have to tell you –FDA –label conformity boards or anybody else. Not your business. Why not??? They got the bucks –to get perfume ingredients declared: “trade secret”
What’s in perfume? Coal tar, a carcinogen. Coal tar: NOT helpful if you want to get pregnant –disease-free –old.

"Every morning across America, millions of women apply...average of nine "personal care" products. Users of these products might assume that somebody is watching to insure that potentially toxic ingredients are kept away from intimate contact with their body. They would be wrong. Neither the Food and Drug Administration nor any other government agency regulates ingredients used in the preparation of cosmetics. The Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1938 established extraordinarily lax standards for the regulation of cosmetic ingredients. When Environmental Working Group compared the ingredients in 7,400 personal care products with potentially hazardous chemicals identified by the Centers for Disease Control, other...institutions: dozens of varieties of skin and tanning lotions, nail polish, mascara, other personal care products were found to contain known and suspected carcinogenic, mutagenic and endocrine disrupting chemicals."

Ingredients posing potential breast cancer risks in Revlon products: 6

Ingredients
A multi-national mega-corporation purchases chemicals for it’s products –without knowing all aspects of those chemicals??? Nope. While FDA doesn’t oversee “cosmetics” –they DO oversee: the health of the employees who produce the products. FDA, EPA other government agencies require employers to maintain data on chemicals used by employees. –Not easy to find, but FDA knows where data sheets are located; knows the effects of toxic chemicals. Revlon knows: what’s in the chemicals they purchase, the effects, the health hazards.

What does cosmetics industry –gigantic American personal care product manufacturers, have to do with politics –with current White House administration? In Europe: there is no “FDA” –lucky them, but they Do have “We're fed up and we're not going to take it any more” position on: toxic chemicals. Europeans are putting an END to toxic chemicals in personal care products. Oval Office occupant: trying to stop Europeans. Even the once-admired former Secretary of State Colin Powell has lobbied on behalf of giant American cosmetic industry, against the new European bans. (see: link below) Oval Office occupant: asked for your vote –claimed he would protect Americans –now protecting giant corporations “right” to put KNOWN carcinogenic toxins in personal care products.... With “protectors” like him: can we afford to be watching “terrorists”?

Want to go for a run? Have a good time. Want to run to raise money to help a mega corp. get free publicity –to sell products –which cause disease they claim to want to “cure”? You’re running in circles. –DON'T wear any make-up or perfume while you're doing it.

Revlon: “Run for the 'Cure'”??? Like calling the Grand Canyon: a ditch.

Ohio -Florida -Texas: Gas? Peace?

2006-05-09T04:55:00.000-07:00

The ONLY way we are going to get any alternative to polluting sky-high gas OR any Peace OR representatives who Care about what we want: Demand electronic voting machines be removed, Demand they be replaced with: Ink dot or chad-type voting machines. If you don't get the machines out: It won't Matter Who / What you vote for/against, get used to soaring gas price, no peace. The fix is in: vote total of electronic machines can Easily be changed, WAS changed in 2004 national election.

In case you think this sounds 'nutty' or don't believe it:
-In Florida, where the Oval Office occupant's brother is governor, vote count was 'muddled,' it was claimed, by 'confused' voters, 'confused' with chad/punch ballots. Were Florida voters 'confused' or: was voting material INTENTIONALLY designed to deceive? Or did Jewish voters just Intentionally vote for extreme right-wing Republican Pat Buchanan instead of Democratic candidate Al Gore, instead of current Oval Office occupant? Even Buchanan was astounded his Florida vote count was so high it exceeded count anywhere else; so high he thought it was hilarious and TOTAL MISTAKE. In case you don't know, don't remember: Pat Buchanan orchestrated Ronald Reagan placing wreaths on World War II graves --to honor dead german SS military --seen around the world in first world-wide telecast, live.

Black Voters
Different vote tactics were used on Florida black voters. In case you forgot: Ballots went into the trash. Some voters were required to pay a “fee” AKA Civil War-era Poll Tax in order to vote, in direct violation of specific federal law. Other Polling stations were set up in new locations, without notice; not set up at all in some neighborhoods. Some well-known stable neighborhoods did not receive enough booths, which caused 4 -7 hour lines to form. Some decades-long black voters were told their name had been struck off the list, then given polling address that didn't exist or “new” wrong address whereupon they were sent back to the original polling station, which of course, by then was closed.

Texas? What can be said about a former bug extermination business owner who worked his way up and used his position in House of Representatives --to get Texas districts re-drawn in favor of Republican Party, long after re-draw deadline? When Texas Democrats left the state to evade the re-draw approval vote? Ex-cockroach hunter: Sent Marshals to arrest them, claiming 'Homeland Security' to justify spending/wasting Thousands of dollars.

-CEO of Diebold electronic vote machines: stood up at a Republican fund-raising event and declared to current Oval Office occupant “I will do whatever I can to help Republican Party and you get re-elected.” “Re-elected”? Majority of Americans did not Vote FOR him the First time; he got inserted into the Oval Office by the no-longer supreme court, via biased Activist “judges.” Republican Party members did not mind Those “Activist judges.”

-Then Republican Party-controlled Congress used what happened to chad/punch ballots in Florida to: 'somehow' come up with millions of dollars for Not just new voting equipment, but for new electronic “vote” machines, Diebold machines, across the country. But that wasn't enough: they made it Mandatory the machines be installed, with deadlines. Some states have resisted.

Ohio, Florida, Texas: 'drank the Kool-Aide' and the “vote” machines have been installed. But: helped what? Remember? Ohio voters stood in the rain, election night November 2004, waiting to vote until 4 AM. The White House called all the networks at 8 PM --angry that Ohio had not been called for the occupant. HOW did they know HE would win Ohio's Electoral Votes --EIGHT HOURS before polls closed?

Since then software programmers and ex Dieboldt employees have testified in numerous cities, counties to local officials: precisely How electronic voting machine vote tallies can be changed, and How easily.

“Some day the people will demand peace
and we will have to get out of their way
and let them have it.” Dwight Eisenhower

People who want to benefit their pals. Invasion of another Middle Eastern country --with nuclear weapons --with nuclear weapons??? Another “war”? We can NOT afford any more “religious” people who want to invade other countries to “bring democracy” for pay-back to their pals. If you are a right-winger or a senior adult who still thinks the occupant & co should be supported: how much would you like it if some other country decided THEIR form of government should be “inserted” in the US?

We only have the one planet, the one life. You have a voice, you have a vote. What kind of life is that going to be?

Matters to You?
If you care about gas price, about peace, others' rights, universal medical insurance, federal debt, strangle-hold on Congress, changing the White House, single-Party rule, seeing your vote Count: Demand change. If you don't demand that your local representatives dump the electronic vote machines NOW: you --local officals will be busy during summer, fall will be TOO LATE.

Remedy
THIS Week Ask your neighbors, friends, family to: contact local representatives, and keep on contacting them until electronic “voting” machines are replaced.

Remedy
This Week:
-Write out a list of groups, organizations, clubs to contact. Ask them to contact local representatives to DUMP ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES
-Organize post-card writing sessions
-Contact One neighbor on each adjoining block: ask them to contact one person in each adjoining block, then each organize everyone else on the block, and everyone they know to contact local representatives

-Next Week:
Write a letter to the editor of your area's largest, smallest newspapers; get several others to sign it: ask for the paper's and the community's help to get electronic vote machines OUT, replaced with non-electronic, non-Dieboldt voting equipment

Remedy
Next Post Office Visit:
-Pick up extra Voter Registration forms
Distribute to everyone at work, waiting in movie -grocery lines, cleaners, soccer practice, bus stop, PTA, book club; at the gym, pre-school, practice
-Ask your mail carrier to bring Voter Registration forms to you, weekly

Moussaoui: Verdict?

2006-05-06T04:45:00.000-07:00

In case you have been busy, living your life and expecting federal government employees to do their jobs, provide remedies, and you haven't followed the trial: the feds put a man named Moussaoui on trial for being part of the September 11 attack on the US. How'd they do? What's the verdict?

Federal prosecutors charged Moussaoui with failing to tell FBI agents, while he was under arrest, during the month before the attack, what he knew, thereby being part cause of the attack. In effect: for failing to disclose he was charged with lying. Feds put him on trial for lying. That hasn't happened before, ever. Every husband, every boyfriend in America better listen up: You could get the chair for telling a lie. Telling your main squeeze a lie is rotten and it makes you --a terrorist???

A Few Annoying Facts:
-FBI agent who questioned Moussaoui suspected he could get information from Moussaoui's computer; asked FBI management for permission to examine it. Permission: denied -SEVENTY times

-FBI management didn't believe computer was relevant to anything; claimed they did not see the SEVENTY (70) e-mail requests for permission

-A fed prosecutor "consulted" on the prosecution's case: she coached the fed's witnesses --in direct violation of the judge's orders; all of the coached witnesses were then barred from testifying

-Moussaoui did not fly any planes, was not on any plane, was in jail September 11 morning

-Lying to a federal agent is not a capital offense. If it was: there would be LOTS of dead Catholic priests

Oval Office occupant was shown a CIA memo: a month before September 11, headlined
"Terrorists Want to Hijack Planes, Crash Into US Buildings." His actions? Phones calls? Alerts he ordered? Notice to FAA, NTSB, Air force, Immigration, FBI, National Security Administration, NORAD, Air Traffic Control towers? Notice to American travelers? --Managers of famous, tall buildings? Squat. Zip. He was on vacation.

If you saw the Michael Moore movie "Fahrenheit 451" you know: his eyeballs scanned the memo; didn't register inside his brain. "Doctor" Condo testified to Senators:
"who should we have called? We didn't know when it was going to happen."

Job #One
Job of federal government: Protect Citizens. THAT, actually, IS the purpose of federal government. We don't need the feds to tell us to 'Buckle Up' or stick their collective nose into ANY personal behavior. The Reason we ship all that money to them: we Expect them to carry out their sworn job of providing a system in which we can pursue life, liberty, happiness --by protecting us.

Protection we got? President of Vice, Oval Office occupant and the people who control him have failed in every way. Worse: they have caused the demise of Americans, here and in two other countries. They have brought shame on all Americans by violating laws, international treaties, Geneva Convention, human rights, decentcy. They have caused passionate, capable people in the Pentagon, the FBI, the CIA to be shamed. They have caused all Americans to be put in jeopardy, endangered.

If IF the media had NOT been allowed to engorge themselves, by ripping down the firewall of competition; NOT allowed to simultaneously own newspapers, TV & radio stations in a single community, become mega-fat cats, but were still committed to the privileges granted them: THEY would have done Their job. Told Whole story. Or at least, deeply examined story they were given by the administration. WHEN will even ONE ask: WHAT policies, WHAT actions of the feds caused (causing?) so much hatred of the US? Supporting one small country is NOT enough to generate the amount of hatred that caused September 11. WHICH media, which reporter, which editor will Actually Ask, get the answers --all the answers? Or do you believe Moussaoui did it all --masterminded it by himself?

Dysfunctional
One FBI department head saw September 11 attack: as an opportunity to get more money for that department. If you didn't see the "60 Minutes" piece: every morning a translator found all of her previous day's work deleted. She was told to take long lunches, the better to slow down the work, the more 'need' could be shown for increasing the budget to hire more translators. 'Don't work too fast' --'don't work too smart,' FBI motto?

Billions have been handed out to FBI, CIA. What have they --we got to show for it? FBI is still hot on the old mission of pursuing bank robbers of insured banks to the ends of the earth. Thieves of over 3,000 lives? You may have forgotten: FBI had an informant living IN a house in California with two of the killers, with Loads of foreknowledge. FBI--on occupant's orders?--abetted 182 passengers who were picked up September 13, from all over the country, and flown out without a single question or answer, the only plane allowed to fly after the attack. A brilliant FBI agent: connected all the 'dots' --of terrorist cells and attacks and people, long before September 11. He was working as head of Tower security, after FBI management refused to listen and forced him out, on petty bureaucratic charges. He was in his office September 11, in the first Tower. Management has changed it ways --unbuttoned it's lock-step style? CIA --has stopped their turf-protection mission --shares info --with any department?

Family members, still mourning September 11, were misled by Federal prosecutors. Twelve Smart people gave a verdict: they said 'Nope.' Moussaoui? Is he mentally ill? A wannabe pilot? A liar? A terrorist or a wannabe? He claims he hates Americans, would like to kill us. Apparently he also doesn’t believe in Ko’ran or Muslim faith either. A crime? Capital crime? Jury said: lying does not get Moussaoui time in an electric chair or behind a needle cocktail, at least not without PROOF. He will spend all the rest of his birthdays in a pen, by himself.

Verdict on Federal prosecutors? Where was the evidence? Hell, where was the case? HOW did Moussaoui have any part of the attack, the crashes, the murders? They proved: Moussaoui was an illegal immigrant. Period. Who would hire any of them for ordinary Slip & Fall? Yup, we got the worst lawyers money can buy.

The Verdict
Administration, FBI and CIA management ain't protecting any American bodies but their own. Mission of Oval Office occupant: welfare to the wealthiest; strip out the middle class; bankrupt the country; enable illegal immigrants to work for his pals. President of Vice Mission: abet oily pals; aide, engorge Halitosis with No-bid, No compete contracts for un-washed laundry, un-hot food, un-secured Iraqi oil lines, un-built structures --on negligent oversight. But hey, he's getting his $2 1/2 million annual "pension" from them, why would he complain?

Change
Probably the only Real/Best Solution for the overlapping, utterly wasteful duplication: FBI and CIA should be merged. One division handling domestic crime, one international crime. Then: EVERY body could talk, share info. CIA agents, analysts who quit when 'chief' "It's [finding WMD] a Slam-Dunk" Tenant bailed: should be asked to return to help the agents who remained, to cope with dysfunctional White House to protect us.

REMEDY
Swing by the Post Office: pick up Voter Registration forms; if you care enough to read this, care enough to see that everyone you know and TEN people you don't gets registered to VOTE in November; hand out form everywhere

REMEDY
Write to your Senators, your Reps in the House
Demand they hold hearings, even closed-door, to examine structure, management, re-organization, budget of FBI and CIA
You can find your Reps in the links to the left. If you saw Senator Obama on “Charlie Rose” last week you know: he said as few as 100 sincere letters from constituents makes a difference, has impact. They Will listen to you.

REMEDY
Never Again: ONE party allowed to control Executive branch AND both houses of Congress. The "genius" who manipulates campaigns for the occupant: going to send messages to you, right up to night before November election --saying any/every thing to convince you to vote for the Republican Party in your neighborhood. You want more of what we got now? Believe the messages, the attacks, the fear. You want responsible, debt-free, smart government: Ignore the propaganda. IGNORE the emotional hype that's comming. Make up your own mind.

REMEDY
Occupant, feds proved: not looking out for you. STOP putting your life in plastic. STOP asking some mega-bank to loan you money to eat out, finance a life-style you CAN'T afford. Save Your Money. NOTHING you can buy in a store is worth your security, your health, your ability to take care of yourself. Sock away as much money –EVERY week, as possible. If Europeans and Asians can save huge chunks of their income, can’t you? Brown-bag it, use mass transit, use pre-paid cell phone plan, make your own coffee, take in a college student border, use the library to get CD movies, magazines free, walk your neighbor’s pet, whatever it takes –to save minimum $10. every day. Each month of $300. will mean in twelve months you’ll be getting interest on $3,650.

If you need incentive: --That's the amount you need to live for one Month? Picture needing that amount –Every month –but without a job. You’ll still need to eat, pay for shelter, transportation, utilities plus any medical expenses. Save More. Start saving now, you can have enough by the time you need it. New clothes, tools, tech toys aren’t going to enhance your life –if you’re living in the street. Don’t think that can happen to you? Call someone in Florida, New Orleans, senior adult center: ask if they’ll be taking any trips this summer; where, what they will be having dinner; what it's like to live without any money.

REMEDY
A real leader, who gives a damn.
Why was the occupant, "judge" Scalia and all the others --laughing, making jokes at the Press Club dinner last week? IF this is a REAL war: what's so funny? Where is admission of failure --apology for incompetence? Where is contrition from Rumsfeld? Why aren't the consequences of WAR affecting them? Did they forget: over 500 people are sitting in make-shift prison --without lawyers, court dates, rights, dignity or their own country's protection. How many families in Iraq are mourning their missing family members? "We don't count those." How many families in New York? What the hell is so funny?

Tom Cruise: Mission?

2006-05-03T10:30:00.001-07:00

Tom Cruise. Actor? Mission? –Persuading Congress to deal with leaky US borders –avian flu –deficit –medical insurance –Minimum Wage? –Compel UN to start intense campaign on carbon particulates pollution –gases heating the planet –clean water –disappearing mammals, plants, songbirds –low-cost medicine to Africa? Naw, the mission of Tom Cruise: inform the ‘ignorant’ and extract the money –while proving he’s heterosexual.

History
Long before he jumped up, down on a sofa on camera, declaring deep infatuation with the current girlfriend, he walked away from marriage, on no notice, and several girlfriends and joined a group that is deeply focused on…uh, perpetuating itself. They call themselves a “religion” so they can retain IRS exemption from tax. This IRS-exempt ‘religion’ doesn’t take well to criticism. –A man who took them on legally, wearily stopped at his driveway one day to get his mail before entering his garage. –He got a bite –from a rattlesnake stuffed inside the mailbox instead, so this author, Yup, has trepidation.

Up-Close and Personal
Author also has first-hand knowledge of the Tax-exempt ‘religion’ up close: a cousin. After two years inside: he called home and told his parents he had made a mistake; sorry he had quit college, wanted out of the organization. The tax-exempt group doesn’t let go easily: took his parents two years to extract their son. He needed several years of therapy to extract their ‘programming’ from his head.

First-hand knowledge #2: a friend. We knew each other a good while when one night at dinner his behavior was odd. With much prodding he finally recounted: his partner of many years arrived at their factory one morning a few weeks earlier and announced his ex wife, a member of the tax-exempt organization, had come back into his life, convinced him to sell the business and join her inside the organization/‘religion.’ Nothing and no one could change his mind: he dissolved the partnership, liquidated the business, over 500 went into the street, out of a job. Several Millions (–if exact amount cited too easy for them to know exactly on whom to take revenge) –went straight into tax-exempt ‘religion’s’ bank account. His ex partner was shocked, shaken and missing his friend, never seen again.

Aide
Tom Cruise ‘credits’ the tax-free organization –for helping his career. Those at the top give special ‘help’ to those with the most to donate, though both sides always deny it. But no matter the level: all members must contribute –meet their financial quota or meet the sidewalk, expelled from the organization and their living quarters.

‘Special’ Views
They also have definite ideas about various subjects, all on display as Actor Tom Cruise diagnosed, prescribed, criticized a woman he
a.) doesn’t know
b.) had not “examined”
c.) couldn’t examine cuz he doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD
Didn’t prevent male Actor Tom Cruise from opening his cake hole to tell a female –via TV, how to manage her pregnancy, his special Actor-endowed traits enable him with ‘special’ knowledge. –Though he hasn’t found time to actually marry current girlfriend, has gotten current girlfriend pregnant, so their child will know the world knows her parents weren’t married when she was born. Nice. You know of any religion that espouses that? Well: He’s special. Quite a special example –for teens.

Those same ‘special’ traits and tax-exempt organization’s views are the ones he used to ‘explain’ to a morning interviewer that he possessed ‘superior’ knowledge to the interviewer –on medicine and on psychological counseling, the Actor thereby also showing clairvoyance –mind-reading –or no hesitancy in behaving like an arrogant twit, take your choice.

So now Actor Tom Cruise, having proven he’s high on the Boring /Arrogant Meter, has caused Another meaningless pile of celluloid to be shoved into film cans. –But his mission, to entice you into parting with your cash, is flogged while offering personal tidbits of drivel as he makes all the media pit-stops –all over the world, for his, some fat cat agents, lawyers, distributors’ benefit. So: you should run out and see it? The tax-exempt organization –needs more cash? The world needs another techno gadget-laced violence-laden bit of goop?

Good Value?
A vastly over-paid under-worked person and his tax-exempt ‘religion’ merits your hard-earned money –Plus the cost to travel to the theater, roundtrip? In two months: the UN will be out of money to send food supplies to Darfur. The Actor could make a donation to cover entire $35 million cost –or use his fame (–notoriety?) to organize a fund-raising event to cover the expense. –Or any number of other ‘name-less’ causes to alleviate drought, disease, hunger or homelessness instead of just looking to rack up more ‘score-card’ money he does not need. Media Celebrity-driven /obsessed, soaked with hype: so passé. –Does what for your life?

REMEDY
You do have a vote:
How about making an ego-gratification mission impossible. You CAN vote “no” by doing something positive instead, such as putting money into savings account for your future, in case you become ill, cuz for sure, neither the Actor nor the Oval Office occupant is gonna look out for you.

REMEDY
If you know any 14-year old boys: sit them down and explain how wasteful, un-enlightening it would be to use any money on another meaningless Hollywood bore.

REMEDY
Send a message to Hollywood: "Grow Up Stop Making Violent Meaningless Junk"
Boycott. Don't go along with this 'mission.' Rent a quality movie or get one for free at the library, watch it snuggled on the sofa with those who also like to snuggle. Then maybe Hollywood will thin out their herd and the junk.

Ancient Meals?

2006-04-25T23:30:00.000-07:00

What did people eat centuries ago? –Long before money hungry multi-national corporations un-naturally speed-slaughtered speed-raised animals and flung nutrient-depleted fast-trash garbage wrapped in toxic-laced packaging at the hungry and the ignorant: What ingredients, foods, spices –meals were enjoyed by the well-fed? Once upon a time a Roman gourmand wrote a food manuscript. As long-time participant of Culinary Historians, this author recently received the following:

Help Save Marcus Apicius!

Most Culinary Historians know about the cookery manuscript attributed to Marcus Apicius, the first century Roman gourmand. Containing five hundred recipes, the manuscript was assembled and hand copied in the fourth century. In the ninth century, monks at the Fulda monastery in Germany recopied the recipes in a simple manuscript adorned by red letters. This ninth century manuscript has amazingly survived through twelve hundred years of wars and natural disasters and is believed to be the earliest copy of Apicius, the only recipe collection we have from the ancient Mediterranean.

During the Reformation, the manuscript was shipped to the Vatican Library, which also owned another, slightly later, set of Apicius’s recipes. The Vatican sold the Fulda manuscript to a private collector. The manuscript was sold at auction and eventually was given to the New York Academy of Medicine. The 1,200 year old manuscript is falling apart and needs to be rebound. The New York Academy of Medicine approached a professional manuscript restorer; the estimated cost of rebinding is $15,000.

The Culinary Trust, the philanthropic partner of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) has taken on the task of raising the necessary funds to restore this manuscript and to promote the importance of preserving our culinary heritage. All funds collected will go directly to this restoration project. For more information about the Trust, go to: The Culinary Trust

I’d be delighted to answer any questions– please email me at asmith1946@aol.com

The Culinary Trust

Remedy: Should you be wanting to do something positive, make this part of your legacy for future generations, you can participate in restoring the manuscript with donation –any amount, even $10. is ten dollars more than they have now, to save an ancient part of our history. The Great Fire in Rome destroyed nearly all the books written up to that time. What a splendid treasure has survived, can be restored. If you know an individual or an organization who would like to donate to help restore this ancient manuscript: please forward.

Oily “Decider” Decided: Was It Good For You?

2006-04-21T23:35:00.000-07:00

Remedy: The Rummy should go –stay? Republicans –care about the quality of your life, your health, your job –about what's good for the country, the Treasury, the “war,” the environment so much that when came to the hard decisions on The Rummy they? –Got outta town. Gosh those rascals are good for a chuckle, But they left it all up to their fearless leader: The “Decider.” “Decider” decided remedy –to ask oily pals, who fish for oil off Katrina-destroyed coast –to donate funds to restore? –Demanded they build homes for employees and their families? –To make sacrifices –for his made-up war? The “Decider” decided: to blame YOU –for being an oil addict.

The Rummy should be booted or keep on bungling? –Irrelevant. The “Decider” decided: if The Rummy was ordered to get the hell out, the “Decider” would have to Actually accept responsibility –for his own incompetence. But Oily corporations’ contribution –to “war” –to coastline restoration –to pollution reduction? —So: Their patriotic contribution?

In every other real war this country has engaged in: Americans, big and small, individual and business, wealthy and working class, were asked to sacrifice. So: oily corporations’ contribution? WHERE is oily corporations’ sacrifice? Nada. Squat. Zip. Why?

In case you don’t already know and haven’t read it in this website’s pages: The “Decider” decided to invade the two countries which form perfect path –to the Caspian Sea –for ships to load oil –using “terrorism” as his excuse. So the “Decider” decided: to lob the nation’s Guard into Iraq –to get rid of a dictator –who stood in their way. NOTHING whatsoever to do with “terrorism.”

Oily corporations donated to “Decider” –first and second election campaign. Pay-off? They get to hide behind all of it. Their ‘contribution’? They get to dig deep –into your pocket –into your business profit –into your plans for the future –your livelihood –your vacation –your grocery money. They claim: ‘switching to “summer” fuel’ –costly transport of corn additive –‘not enough refineries’ –are driving up the price.

HOW did corn get to be additive to gas? Remember good ol’ Democrat Dashle –and slurping Republicans who “demanded” corn was necessary in gasoline? Oily lobbyists went after Senate, House members and got them to write a Bill. The ‘invoice’ –corn as additive—was supposed to help Daschle’s state, for which he expected them to be so grateful they would re-elect him. Instead: Republicans got the Bill to help their oily pals –and then went after Daschle’s seat and got that too. Americans got stuck with the tab, for both. It costs TONS to transport ‘refined’ corn –by truck, ethanol can’t be shipped by railroad car. Reduction of gas cost: Zip.

“Not enough refineries.” If you hear any oil-related mouth-piece say that sentence: KNOW oily corporations shut down over 100 refineries –to damp down the supply, squeeze up the price. Remember that –they voluntarily SHUT refineries –when they decided price was too low. –They couldn’t care any less about re-opening or building refineries –THAT would defeat goal.

Oily corporations' –goal? Drive UP the price, of course. How they do’n? According to their mouthpieces: things are ‘terrible’ –Iran “might” do something –and this and that, until: most believe the hype –that oil is in “short” supply. If –IF that is actually True: HOW do they have the Money to send Exxon’s chief geezer out the door –with $400 MILLION bucks? IF oil/gas was in tight supply: there would NOT be extra revenue generated, things would stay equal, including the amount of PROFIT. NO EXTRA. Hence: crowning the Chief Executive Oinker with $400 MILLION –their way of saying ‘Thanks for the bloat –for getting us more bucks.’

“Decider” decided: to cause death –of Iraqi families, American families, Marines, soldiers; to reveal undercover agent’s name –for revenge for the agent’s spouse exposure of their lies; to ignore your need for medical insurance –to ignore any help for 99% of Americans.

The Rummy should –go –stay? The question –whole subject is irrelevant because, this author believes, the people, behind the scene, who run the “Decider” want everything that’s happening. “Decider” –even though he evaded doing actual military service the way everyone else was forced to, is a good little soldier. He is taking orders –delivering the ‘goods.’ Even if The Rummy was booted: would 2,500+ marines, soldiers, pilots be returned? –Over 50,000 would get back their legs –arms, eyes, hands? –Toddlers would get back their daddy? –Whole Iraqi families would be reunited? –Americans would get back the “disappeared” $9 Billion bucks –or the money Haliburton sucked out of the Treasury for un-washed laundry, un-hot food, aided by the President of Vice?

How much money is enough for those people? How much power? How many more "wars"?

The Remedy to destruction, theft, mendacity, death IS in your control. If a bunch of students and senior adults can get a king to reinstate democratic parliament (in Katmandu): can you do less –than demand your local Registrar of Voting get voting machines that can NOT be altered with easily-invaded software? Demand, like California: ink dot voting, with paper trail receipt. Can you do any less?

YOU Can contact the person who is Registrar of Voting in your county –region –state and Demand voting machines be changed; that no easily-altered software electronic voting machines be allowed. Don’t want to go it alone? Ask people you have lunch with, people at work; PTA –Little League/Soccer parents –Boys/Girls club parents –any, all to join you in contacting the Registrar of Voting. Make a simple flier with:
“CONTACT: Registrar of Voting Mr./Ms. X
telephone: 000-000-0000
web address: ______________
Electronic Voting machines: REMOVED –Long before November election.”

Don’t want to –get involved –ask others to get involved –contact Registrar? Then: you may as well contact real estate agent –in another country, because this country will belong / OWNED by corporations and YOU, your family, your neighbors will have fewer and fewer rights each year; declining health, quality of life. Is your legacy –to be cowardice? Are you here only to get your ‘share’? Your ‘share’ of zero: will be zero –without your voice, your energy, your intelligence –your involvement. You’ve seen what Republican-controlled government has gotten this country. Even the “religious” right-wingers are angry. There are more of us, in opposition, than those who run corporations –and the “Decider” pals. --Now only 36 (33?)% “approve” job those people have done. –Medical insurance –six years of job security, raises?

Today, Friday April 21, 2006: Gas on the Commodity market went to over $75. a barrel at the close. Supposedly each dollar equals $.24 –therefore

at $70. per barrel earlier in the week equates to:
Gas at $3.02 will go to $4.22 for one gallon. Wow.

Remember: de thug Delay, Republican, forced to give up his position in the House and then his seat, is under indictment and going to trial for criminal political activity. Remember: “Decider” has decided to ‘release’ Karl Rove –to work on November elections –if KKKarl doesn’t get indicted before then.

Remember: “Decider” HAS to borrow money EVERY DAY –to cover his messes.

Remember: they used $6 MILLION bucks to fly around –in First Class –on OUR money, tons of which was wasted on un-used un-returned tickets.

Remember: There are More of us who Oppose corporate take-over of America than there are supporters of pollution, corruption and spreaders of disease and global warming. YOU CAN make a difference. Vote with your wallet. Get on your feet and get your neighbors, your family, friends, co-workers involved.

Remedy: Make a Boycott flier
Then: Go door to door on your block –ask each neighbor not to buy gas from Mobil or Exxon; distribute to co-workers; make extra for them to hand out. Find Independent gas stations –only buy from them, until Mobil and Exxon are forced to reduce gas price, change disgusting ‘bonus’ given to their gougers of your wallet, your life.

Remedy: Call your union rep/office manager
Ask if your union/employer holds any stock in any oil company. If so: demand they divest –sell all such stock. Ask your co-workers, family, friends to make the same request. Unhappy shareholders will have even bigger effect on oil oinkers than negative news stories about the price of gas. Then: call your local newspaper and tell them you are calling for Mobil, Exxon boycott and for unions and employers to sell oil company stock.

White House: Changes?

2006-04-20T04:15:00.000-07:00

Changes --in the White House? Those wiley coyote Republicans "running" government for us took a look at their "approval" ratings and decided to make changes? Oval Office Occupant "remedies" for deaths of nation's National Guard, entire families in Iraq --US treasury bleeding so much red ink this generation's great grandchildren will be cursing him, us as they walk to school, work struggling to pay it off. Changes? The "decider" decided --to blame the messenger, booting the press secretary and 'demoting' messenger Krafter KKKarl. Oval Office Occupant "decider" decided: the ship stinks so the deck chairs need rearranging --before the ship sinks.

Open Letter to Media: You deliver the news this "government" delivered $190 MILLION bucks to a contractor to build 16 clinics in Iraq, including one on top of a pond --because no employee of this "government" could be found to change the site or oversee the contractor or the money. Now the clinics sit without windows, floors, unfinished and contractor has 'moved on.' New clinics built in the US? Squat. You deliver news: wealthy whackos have Finally found way to get Bible into schools --via new labeling as "literature." Are they trying that tactic in Shaker Heights --Dearborn --Beverly Hills? Or only in poor districts where representatives don't give a damn about laws? Just what will it take to get you to report: emperor is Buck Nekkid?

That the "Architect" of "plan" to raid a country lets: its museums, offices, schools be looted; disbanded its military, police, civil service; gave $70 million, in cash, to officers to hand out to any 'neighbor' who ratted out a "terrorist" then transported those "terrorists" --on no evidence--to 'secret' prison, to be interrogated without any rights --so far for five years; 'engineered' torturing of others, some until death --for what purpose? Can Anyone, anywhere name even a Single thing this employee has done right --correctly --well? Yet reward for his incompetence, violation of laws, international treaties, human rights? --Yup, keeps his "job." Media: Is his medal being minted while we wait --for photos of the dead; phony death stats, funerals "Decider" won't attend, the other shoe to drop?

That the President of Vice "crafted" energy policy 'for the country' --using cronies. CEO of Exxon: while price of oil, gas soaring "because of shortage; switching to summer fuel; transport costs of corn additive; lack of refinery." IF even ONE of those were actually True: HOW do they wind up with enough cash to fork over $400 MILLION "bonus" bucks to a geezer as he walks out the door? Another CEO geezer who "helped" with energy "policy": on trial --for looting the company. He didn't do the looting? Where's the money? HOW did he wind up with Multi-millions in the months just prior to house-of-rats exposure? Other CEOs: whined about annoying laws, so miners died; nation's parks got opened for drilling, logging; more coal toxin got dumped in waterways --but no biggy, it only happens on 'rainy' days. But President of Vice was so busy making world safe for oil companies: he didn't notice; spy --working in his office three years; his chief of staff spilling his guts --and an undercover agent's name to newspapers.

While FEMA ordered, paid for trailers --that can't be wired for electricity, hooked up or used in wet land, Homeland "Security" employees arrested for child molestation and office pornography, Occupant hands out contracts to foreigners to 'guard' our ports, while his brother hands out our money to cruise ships connected to the same foreigners --all on no bid, no compete contracts, violating federal law. Consequences? Media: Just Exaaactly WHEN will any of you get a spine --demand Impeachment --Arrest --Resignation?

Was it good for you? CEO policy meeting --to get medical insurance for all Americans? --Bargaining with drug makers? Reasonable pay for doctors? Reimbursement for failing hospitals, ERs? More of America's best got wounded, maimed, dead; more watched their home blow away; more filed for bankruptcy; more got deeper in debt; more began living in trailers, cars, sidewalk tents. More people got confused which way pollution is blowing; more children got asthma; more tornados, hurricanes; melanoma.

"Decider" decided to: remain silent on demanding oil companies make contribution to war --and not raise prices --donate to clean up, restore areas where they pump. "Decider" decided to --look out for You? "Decider" decided to: rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. To: Become the worst Thing that ever happened to this country.

Remedy --for arrogance, indifference, no medical insurance, no drug bargaining? Your rep in the Senate and the House needs to hear from you --while they are still there. It's the last chance they have to do the RIGHT things to remedy these messes --before they are kicked to the curb in November. You can find your rep in the links on the left margin. YOU are the CEO of your life --don't just tolerate abuse --ACT. They can only get away with looting with your silence.

Impotence –Hair Loss –Barry Bonds?

2006-04-18T11:45:00.000-07:00

Impotent –but the little blue pill handy remedy? Loosing hair –but goop in the tube slathered on daily? Hmmm…then what, exactly, is the problem with Barry Bonds?

‘Pious’ Senators, sports writers, authors, parents (–you?) –condemn him; demand professional baseball outlaw drugs. Here’s a question: why?

Right to criticize what an athlete does to be his best? If a professional athlete trains using ballet, pink bat, nude sunbathing, pockets stuffed full of four-leaf clovers, 48 hours of pre-game silence or muscle-enhancing drugs: what is it to you? How is that your /anybody’s business?

You didn’t do any whining when a foreigner with family ties to The most vile organization in history entered the country, and then body contests, very obviously with a body-enhancer, and used the results as stepping-stone to hitch himself to: one of the most famous US families, movie roles and political office. –All without education, experience, skills, knowledge or a peep outta media, Congress or you. He got his body that size –because he was ‘healthy’ and worked out? How does a ‘healthy’ 49-year old: wind up with emergency surgery for a heart attack? –Eight women on record about his grab & shove ‘technique’ on movie set locations –rumors all over Hollywood about what’s on video tape before he turned ‘actor.’ Duh. Uh, no problemo with reportedly foul-mouthed vulgar Babe Ruth, who stuffed food and booze in Depression-era sport –seeing how many women he could stuff into a hotel bed?

So what’s your beef with a contemporary athlete who has trained, has skill and single-minded purpose? Ooooh, you think he sets a ‘bad’ example for your kid? So: How many beers are you downing on the week-end? Cigarettes, cigars? Nightly bottle of wine? Your waistline –same as when you were in high school or reaching for pizza, ice cream, cookies, too much of everything so none of those clothes would fit? Let’s talk a little walk…down the hall…to your bathroom…crack open the medicine cabinet…what’s this –the ‘little purple pill’ for acid reflux “disease” –instead of eating less quantity and better quality? A bottle of headache remedy; one for wrinkles? The three main over-the-counter ‘sleep’ drugs earned $2 billion bucks last year –but you’re not one of the ‘contributors’ –those pills don’t do your sleeping for you? A drug for cholesterol –diabetes –AIDS –herpes –diarrhea –bad breath? Birth control? –Inhaler? –Allergy –sinus, sore throat –tooth ache? Any –drug, salve, pill, prescription beyond dental floss and tooth brush in that wall safe: Your “need” to cover for an erection –grey hair, pregnancy, flatulence, obesity, pain, wrinkles –justified? Tossing back toxins for vanity or ‘health’ but not for cure: Then you are being a hypocrite.

–But a professional athlete’s goal –for fame, money, personal satisfaction of attaining a record is not?

How about instead of getting another law on personal behavior: you recognize some responsibility and stop teaching your kid that your drugs are “okay” and stop sending hypocritical mixed messages. Go the natural route. Tell your child: ‘very fine’ the way they are; they don’t need to be anything other than who they are for you to love them –unconditionally. Then let them have the advantage of learning on their own –pull them out of Pewee /Little League –soccer –any adult-organized sport –No wearing a uniform; way NOT more fun than child-organized dodge-ball, basketball, softball –and let children have a childhood; play for pure pleasure and fun of playing –adults and pressure Out of the way–without ‘winning’ a damn thing.

The remedy for children: is having a childhood and seeing their parents be toxin-free –way not in getting Congress to stick their collective nose into Professional sports. Tiger Woods was maybe the oldest-looking 21-year old sports figure ever to appear on camera. Dump the toxins, let your child play without adult interference and leave Barry Bonds alone. Or: admit you are a hypocrite.
