Third Quarter of 2004 July 2004 ... August 2004 ... September 2004
|
7/8/04 Election, not selection: Interesting the word impeachment and the phrase
"No
one should be immune to questions, including the
President." are in this article talking about a
group of 450 professors of law, international relations, and
public policy who have sent a letter of protest to congress.
(062204a) But that's not all folks:
A prominent federal judge has told a conference of liberal
lawyers that President Bush's rise to power was similar to
the accession of dictators such as Mussolini and
Hitler. (062204b) Meanwhile Bush
slips behind Kerry in the polls for various reasons:
Iraq, 9/11, the terror war, the economy,
trustworthiness, and more... (062204e) Bush boy said he had nothing to hide, as far as his
military record is concerned, so
why is a news media organization having to sue to see "his
good record." (062504a) Nader
and Republicans working together to get Nader on the ballot
in Oregon. (062704a)Yet, Nader says he's not "a
spoiler". Amazing, no? Yes! Declaration of Independance listed a set of specific
charges against England's King George. Here
we have a list of those complaints cross referenced with
acts of Mr. Bush to demonstrate that he, Mr. Bush, has been
as offensive as that earlier ruler.
(070104b) This story shows how the people can lead the
government, we
do care about ecology, global warming and are willing to
accept the cost of having increasingly fuel efficienc
cars..."so why be da' guvumint' so beehyne da'
koive on dis' heyah mattuh, dats whut Ah be wantstin to
no...." (062604a) The Wars: Terror and 9/11: Here is a story being investigated, it seems
the
person interviewed claims that flight 93 was shot down in
Pennsylvania that it did not crash. The website
dates the story 6/29/4 and promises to follow up. We shall
see what we shall see...(070104c) Here is an excerpt from an interview of an "intel
person", still inside, whose book explains
some of the errors we've made and how they are costing us
dearly. (062404a) We have word that the 9/11 commission, which grabbed
headlines because a preliminary report contradicted Bush
doctrine,
may cave and rework and add in additional data, from Cheney
of all friendly folks. Will the commission cave and make
amends? (062204c) In Iraq another city is lost,
will
they play the Falluja Gambit in Baqouba as well?
(062504d) I've mentioned this story before, and one still
wonders whether
Brazil is going for the nukes. (062904a) Muddle East/Kurds: Kurds in the way? Take a look at this article, it
reports that the
Kurds are keeping their army, nearly a quarter million
strong, and that, from their perspective trouble is brewing
between several factions in Iraq. In other words,
it could become a royal mess, and soon. (062804a)
A
concise overview of the five party dance now ensuing around
Iraq and Kurdistani asperations Who wants what
and why makes for an interesting read. (063004a) Muddle East/ Iraq: Here
is an optimistic and realistic view point which defends,
somewhat left handedly, what we've done in Iraq
(062304a)saying, in sum, that whatever has gone
on before there is still a chance that good may come of it
and it cites some supporting evidence. Then too:
What
is our enemy in Iraq like? Here is a portrait of what it
seems to be. (063004b) Remember
Fallujah? That might be the Iraqi equivalent of "Remember
the Alamo" We left the city and the resistance
feels it was their victory. (070804a) Previous
articles talked about the resistance's beginning to assault
Baghdad. While I think such a move wpi;d be
premature on their part, this story might be talking about
some opening shots. (070804b) Pakistan
may be pressured/willing to send as many as 50,000 troops to
Iraq sometime before January of next year? Is
this a good idea/bad idea. It is being talked about.
(070604a) Ignore
the hyperbole and opinion in this article, and focus on its
facts, only 2% of Iraqi's believe we're
"liberators", we've lost control of several cities,
Negroponte, our ambassador to Iraq, is the man who oversaw
the anti-contra terror campain of Nicaragua in the 80's
under Regan, we build permanent bases, make laws for the
Iraqi's, and so one wonders what "hand over" means when
nothing much is really handed over, even Saddam, despite our
media's trumpeting of such. (070104a) Ok
the hand over is a done deal, they are free now, sort of,
kind of, in a way, NOT! (070204a) We keep hearing about "all those foreign fighters in
Iraq" well,
our best estimate is that they represent about 2% of the
resistance movement. (070604c) The
official report on "how we're doing" is a long pdf
file, novelette in legnth and it is located
here at globalsecurity.org, but just skipping
through the doc. seemed to show a collection of bad news and
little reason for even meassured optimism. (070402b) Muddle East/Iran and Muddle East/Israel: This article is about a recent skirmish where 5 died,
however it
also talks about Israeli resistance to giving up
settlements, to not giving up settlements and radicals who
just might make their own bloody headlines.
(070604b) A good article giving some insight
into Israel's ambitions for playing a regional game against
its only remaining rival, Iran. They assist the
Kurds and no doubt have other interests as well. (062504b)
For their part the Iranians are probably persuing their
interests in Iraq, Afghanistan and nuclear power. The
"Christian Zionists" actually go back about 100
years, but in recent decades have become quite important to
Israel, US foreign policy, and the sit/com that is this
region. (070604d) Mo' money, Mo' money... versus the environment....
guess who wins? No, really! From the Daily Misleader, we have a story, or stories
that talk about how the Bush administration is hiding
thousands of previously public documents to "undercut
the public's right to know about contamination of the
environment,transport of hazardous materials, pipeline
routes, and more." (062404b) I understand
national security concerns but
the public is having important data removed from its reach,
while the aforementioned "undercounting" goes on.
(052404c) Meanwhile in Iraq billions not accounted for so:
"Where
be da money? Wha'be gowen on ya'll? It be lookin' lak truk
loadz uh money be missin' sho'nuf, yassuh!"
(062704b) China/Taiwan: This article's salient point for me is in its second
paragraph where
it mentions that South Africa has had sales of nuclear
materials with military applications to wayward,
independence-leaning Taiwan. (062504c)Oh goody
more non proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. When
will we invade South Africa? Where are the sanctions?
Hahaha! HEY, it's the STUPID MEDIA: Cheney
gets caught lying and the interviewer moves on, Clinton lies
and the world can't stop hearing about it, fair's fair after
all. (062204d)Clinton was lying about sex; Cheney
was lying about 9/11 and the pre emptive war on Iraq, not at
all in the same league....
Election, not selection: Didn't Bush say, in his state of the union 2003 that
if a retired person was happy with his/her Medicare benefits
he/she could keep them? He proposed that businesses that
offered coverage could offer to supplant Medicare, as I
understood it. However what is law now has it
that:
a business can take its subsidy for providing drug benefits
and reduce or cut its own coverage, (072104a)"
and it "has
the potential to slow or even reverse the decline in the
level of retiree health coverage provided by
employers.'' (072104b) Voting
machines are out in parts of Ohio, security, reliability.
Yet much of the state will still use them.
(072104d)What priority to we assign our precious right to
vote? Terror and 9/11: Getting ready for the draft? Government
website info, an
informative article. (071804b) Speaking of 9/11
here is a nice video
clip that names names, puts faces in places and gives Bush a
real hard time. The Senate's Intelligence Report: What
is buried in it, the deletions and excisions, and the Office
of Special Plans, (072104c) Here
is more about the Office of Special Plans.
(072104e) Muddle East/Iran: Get ready, get set, go! Here we go again along with
rumors that Bush has targeted Iran for regime change upon
his re election, we
have this story outlining the intel communities disagreement
with Bush assessments concerning Iran's involvement with
9/11 I mean "shades of the past" no?
(072204a) Muddle East/Iraq: First the good news, and I'm glad there is some,
small
projects work wonders, they're cooperative, Iraqi directed
and employ locals, mostly. (072104i) The Brits have it right, their
report has it that intel was bent to accommodate policy
already predetermined, and yet, no one is at fault for the
invasion of Iraq and how it has gone awry. No one
even has the guts to say sorry. (071504d) Meanwhile in the
US the Powell
has offered an apology for the things he offered America as
true which were debatable even at the time he said
them. Talk about turning question marks into
exclamation points, sheesh. Oh, but we went to war anyway.
(071504e) Let's go back to Niger and the yellow cake, Iraq and
Al Qaida, according to Bill
Clinton the CIA is not to blame for those "goof
ups" (071804a) The shrinking "Coalition
of the Willing" may make the occupation forces' work harder,
(071504f) just as the
insurgents are planning for "bigger things" with a hint of
Iran in the mix...can't be good.
(071504g) The Abu Ghraib scandal is, perhaps, seemingly going
away, but if Seymor Hersh is correct we have even more
explosive video to see and hear.
I will only pass along this link, so you can read what's
being circulated. (071504h) Bush and Blair have mentioned, now and again, that
there are 300,000 Iraqi's buried in mass graves. What is not
mentioned is that 1) this is a guesstimate and that 2) some
of those buried died as a result of US policy and changes in
same. This
article outlines the source of the figure and how we helped
make it as large as it was. (072204f) Muddle East/Israel: Mo' money, Mo' money: Well don't this beat all insurance companies are
cleaning up over here, they
can get in with "captive audiences" our men and women before
they ship out, and sell, sell, sell. It's a rip off,
but no one seems to be taking it seriously.
(072004a) Republicans
giving Bush a hard time on the environment? It happens as
they say, here's the word. (072204c)
But
that's not all folks, check this story too
(072204d) Another
Halliburton/Cheney Iraq rip off story, talk about pink pudgy
paws purloining pudding! (072204e) HEY, it's the STUPID MEDIA:
7/15/04
8/02/04 Election, not selection: Didn't Bush say, in his state of the union 2003 that

(071504g) The Abu Ghraib scandal is, perhaps, seemingly going
away, but if Seymor Hersh is correct we have even more
explosive video to see and hear.

(072004a) Republicans

But
that's not all folks, check this story too
(072204d) Another
Halliburton/Cheney Iraq rip off story, talk about pink pudgy
paws purloining pudding! (072204e) HEY, it's the STUPID MEDIA:
Election, not selection: Lack
of Bush service continues to surface even after records have
been lost. (080204b) Bush coming unhinged?
Is
he on meds and what kind? (080204g) I can't speak
for the verity of the article, but some one should consider
the consequences of "letting it go unquestioned." What does Ronald Regan's son have to say about today's
Republicans? He
gives them hell, that's what. (080204h) Many of the votes in the US will be counted by
computers, does
anyone feel that a lack of oversight of those 4 companies
responsible for that titanic responsibility should be an
issue? (080204i - q) This is a good over reaching
article with a good number of specifics, details, names,
dates, and places. If that is too much read
this much briefer opinion piece from the NYT.
(080204r) OK,
Will Mr. Nader ever understand that the Republicans like
him, FOR A REASON? (081904e) And
then again maybe we need help, from abroad, to watch us
elect someone... (081904f) In order to get into Bush or Cheney rallys you have to
pledge loyalty to them, really, you have to sign papers
stating just that. By Sidney Blumenthal Salon.com Thursday
19 August 2004. Terror and 9/11: One might think that the man being held for David
Pearl's murder. Significantly, Sheikh is also the man who,
on the instructions of General Mahmoud Ahmed, the then head
of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), wired
$100,000 before the 9/11 attacks to Mohammed Atta, the lead
hijacker. Incidentally David Pearl's wife and the US
government believe his is innocent of the killing.
Interested
in reading the story? (080204a) The 9/11 Commission Report; Would you like to read
what one important witness had to say about its "coverage"
of the events? Puzzled
& Curious from Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds
(080204c) Another ex-employee has had enough, and in a
letter specifies some of the goof ball things our intel has
been doing, or rather, not doing, no
one, it seems is to blame. (081904b) Here
it says that Bin Laden did not pay for the 9/11 hijackers
expenses, (080204f) but we do know that Pakistani
government officials did have money wired to them in the
days before 9/11, see 080204a above. What an interesting set
of ideas this proposes, but do inquiring minds want to know?
Saaaay, want a free copy of the 9/11 commission
report? Here it is in a PDF download: http://www.9-11commission.gov/
How to fight terrorism, lesson one: when you capture
an enemy agent interrogate first follow up all leads, check
all evidence, THEN release the man's name to the world.
But
that is not how we play it, especially if you want to grab
headlines from the democratic convention. See the story
here, (080704a) How to fight terrorism, lesson two: when
you have a mole in the enemy's camp do not broadcast his
name. Read that story here. (080704b) Well we know that the 9/11 commission and the
investigation in the Iraq invasion mess has produced one
clear culprit, the CIA mainly. The problem is that, well, it
ain't so. Another
book details not only the political backslapping that
produced those documents but how it bodes ill since those
responsible are both still in power and prone to make
similar errors (082104a) Muddle East/Iraq: Speaking of casualties, I've talked about that before.
the figure of 900 plus US soldiers dead is just that, the
figure for US soldiers. Were we to count US civilians and
others who are "on our side" the figure would be higher, but
perhaps impolitic to mention. This
article estimates 2,000 dead and 12,000 wounded
(080204e) What is going on in Iraq?
Cities fall out of control, Chalabi is the "mayor of
Baghdad" at least parts of it and the war rages
on. (080204t) Might we see Australia pull its troops out of Iraq?
Might we see another ally being distanced by US policies?
Read
the story that is not being covered in the good old U S of
A. (080704c) The words secession and Iraq appear in this article
concerning Najaf, not
a good sign that the concept is being talked about is
it? (082004a) Mo' money, Mo' money: One wonders about the following story, that
the
fire regulations at nuclear plants are becoming less
stringent even as many of them are failing to meet the
standards currently on the books, so let me get
this straight, because they are out of compliance we rewrite
the regulations? At a time when terrorists would "just love"
to help fires along? (080504a) One-third
of President Bush's tax cuts have gone to the wealthiest 1
percent of Americans (081904d) Global warming, this article describes the contents of
'Boiling Point': Who's to Blame for Global
Warming by Ross Gelbspan, it
talks about how the media has effected American's perception
of global warming. (081904a) HEY, it's the STUPID MEDIA: Kerry coverage by the media slumps while Bush gets a
bounce, the
story cites a study showing the media's bias and unbalance
is on the increase. (080204d) Here is a story
that covers the "my
bad" apology which appeared recently in The Washington
Post. (081904c) China and Sudan: Did
you know that China has 4000 troops in Sudan? That they are
there to protect a pipeline project? That China
tends to support Sudan against its enemies because well, the
arms sales mean business is business isn't it? So the US
wanting to solve the Darfur problem, wants UN involvement
and China does not. (082104b)
8/22/04
9/06/04 Constitutional Change: We have the Constitution Restoration Act. One wonders
how it is "restorative" when it proposes to weaken the
separation between church and state, limiting, as it does,
the U.S. Supreme Court and federal courts to hear cases
involving "expressions
of religious faith by elected or appointed
officials." (090604c) Election, not selection: The "controversy" over Kerry's Vietnam service,
amazing isn't it how the incumbent, one who avoided service,
went AWOL, even from the "Champaign corps" as one of his
units was called, calls into question Kerry's actions?
John
Edwards demands President Bush calla for those television
ads to be pulled because they are lies funded by Bush
allies. (082204a) Bush
adviser quits after appearing in swift boat ad Kerry has
accused group of illegally working with Bush Campaign
(082204b) Swift boat skipper: Kerry
critics wrong Tribune editor breaks long silence on Kerry
record (082204c) Some of the veterans in the
Swift Boat group have, publicly and for the record praised
Kerry so
they are, I guess, flip floppers.
(082204f) Here
is the word from the man Kerry Rescued.
(090604b) Here is the word from the one time House
speaker of Texas had an epiphany at the Vietnam Memorial in
DC he talks about helping rich people, in this case by
getting their children "out of harm's way"
Georgie Bush took that way out. (083004c) An
80% desertion rate for Iraqi personnel set to face off
against Sadr's army. (082304b) Then we seem to be
planning the same kind of error we've done before, albeit on
a smaller scale, this time instead of unemploying 400,000
we
are opting for unemploying 30,000 police.
(082304c) And in case you want
to hear another more comprehensive blast at bush, reading
one, right on. (083004d) Poverty is up so is the number with out health
insurance. During
the Bush years we've seen steady growth in these
numbers. (090604a) Kerry's War vs. Bush's War: I am talking Vietnam here, this should be the final
proof I'd offer to any who don't already question, deeply,
Bush's record. This
story, from a pilot, from around about the same time tells
and asks it like it is, so to speak. (082504c)
Then we follow up with: This week, former Lt. Governor Ben
Barnes of Texas 'fessed up to pulling the strings to keep
Little George out of the jungle. "I got a young man named
George W. Bush into the Texas Air Guard - and I'm ashamed."
(082904) (see
Greg Palast for 8/28/04) Bush Flip Flop: It seems Bush criticized Kerry for budget cuts to
intel, but
the Bushite's nominee suggested even larger cuts...so what
is it georgie boy?(082404a) And
it seems they flip flop on global warming as
well. (083004a) "The
war on terror cannot be won" G.W. himself says
it, loud and clear. (083004e) And
what ever happened to the Department of Homeland
Security? (083004f)
Oh, wait a minute, he meant to say that it could be won,
oops (083104a) Global Warming: It seems that lobster's tell the tale, the
New England catch is being effected by warming waters,
apparently it doesn't take much.
(082204e) Muddle East/Iraq: Bush praises the Iraqi athletes, especially their
soccer team, but
they have nothing good to say about him, I mean
really (082204d) This article out loud wonders
who
is in charge in Iraq, marines who create their own policy,
Negroponte? (082304a) Then too, how are we
spending those billions of dollars, not
as well as one might think. (082304e) Terrorism Connections: Two
of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers had a support network in
the United States that included agents of the Saudi
government, and the Bush administration and FBI blocked a
congressional investigation into that relationship, Sen. Bob
Graham wrote in a book to be released Tuesday.
(090604d)The discovery of the financial backing of the two
hijackers ''would draw a direct line between the terrorists
and the government of Saudi Arabia, and trigger an attempted
cover-up by the Bush administration,'' the Florida Democrat
wrote. HEY, it's the STUPID MEDIA and Mo' money, Mo money:
Take a look at this story that I mentioned some time
ago, about the
rewriting of regulations concerning a "liberalizing" of the
mercury emissions allowed for coal fired power
plants. (082504a) and then compare it to this
fact: that
from 2002 we have, in some places, a 66% increase in mercury
in some cases it is the highest level ever seen.
Now, color me stupid if I can't get you to connect THOSE two
dots! (082504b) Personal Freedom and Liberty: "If Mexico can do it anyone can." This article is
about many things but it mentions, in passing, that
people are being "chipped" so they can be
scanned. I find it horrific, but then, who am I?
(083004g)
Constitutional Change: We have the Constitution Restoration Act. One wonders

the Bush years we've seen steady growth in these
numbers. (090604a) Semi automatic gun ban set to expire, Bush
said he opposed it, but has taken no action to renew the
ban, sounds odd what with terrorism being a
domestic threat and all. (090804a) Kerry's War vs. Bush's War: I am talking Vietnam here, this should be the final
proof I'd offer to any who don't already question, deeply,
Bush's record. This

is it georgie boy?(082404a) And
it seems they flip flop on global warming as
well. (083004a) "The
war on terror cannot be won" G.W. himself says
it, loud and clear. (083004e) And
what ever happened to the Department of Homeland
Security? (083004f)
Oh, wait a minute, he meant to say that it could be won,
oops (083104a) Global Warming: It seems that lobster's tell the tale, the
New England catch is being effected by warming waters,
apparently it doesn't take much.
(082204e) Muddle East/Iraq: Bush praises the Iraqi athletes, especially their
soccer team, but
they have nothing good to say about him, I mean
really (082204d) This article out loud wonders
who
is in charge in Iraq, marines who create their own policy,
Negroponte? (082304a) Then too, how are we
spending those billions of dollars, not
as well as one might think. (082304e) Terrorism Connections: Two
of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers had a support network in
the United States that included agents of the Saudi
government, and the Bush administration and FBI blocked a
congressional investigation into that relationship, Sen. Bob
Graham wrote in a book to be released Tuesday.
(090604d)The discovery of the financial backing of the two
hijackers ''would draw a direct line between the terrorists
and the government of Saudi Arabia, and trigger an attempted
cover-up by the Bush administration,'' the Florida Democrat
wrote. HEY, it's the STUPID MEDIA and Mo' money, Mo money:
Take a look at this story that I mentioned some time
ago, about the
rewriting of regulations concerning a "liberalizing" of the
mercury emissions allowed for coal fired power
plants. (082504a) and then compare it to this
fact: that
from 2002 we have, in some places, a 66% increase in mercury
in some cases it is the highest level ever seen.
Now, color me stupid if I can't get you to connect THOSE two
dots! (082504b) Personal Freedom and Liberty: "If Mexico can do it anyone can." This article is
about many things but it mentions, in passing, that
people are being "chipped" so they can be
scanned. I find it horrific, but then, who am I?
(083004g)
Thoughts on the revolution: People have said that if Bush "pulls off this
election" that there will be "trouble" that there will be
"street riots" and the like. I'd like to say that the
revolution has already begun. Lives have been threatened
and, in all probability some have been taken albeit slowly.
What I mean is that leading up to the Republican National
Convention, RNC, there were several reports of women with
HIV who announced plans to have unprotected sex with RNC
participants in order to infect them with a fatal disease.
These would be the first shots in the revolution, attempted
murder of those seen as responsible for egregious domestic
and foreign policies. I personally have several bets out that Bush will win.
I have been saying this since late February or March. I hope
that I loose those bets, but I made them because I think
that people are complacent, believing, as many do, that the
election system is fair and that the election's results will
reflect the people's wishes. When I talk about my bets I get the same kind of
reaction as when I talk about my offer to give 1000 dollars
to anyone who can show me clear photos of any plane wreckage
at the Pentagon verifiably taken on 9/11. There were many,
many people at the scene, there had to be cameras clicking,
both in the hands of private and governmental people, so
where are the pieces of the plane clearly evident? Election, not selection: If you're a Democrat and want to argue with a
Republican about which party tends to be better for the
economy, all around, read
this article, print it and use it for your talking points.
Dems trounce Repubs, contrary to the popular myth to the
contrary. (092004a) Yes, the polls say it all, Bush is in the lead, they
are neck and neck, all in the same day. Gallup
has a penchant for giving Bush the edge, and by several
points, when compared to other polls; this is a story in and
of itself, but then again, who'd listen.
(091904a) And
here is the follow up article giving more detail
(091904b) So why don't we hear more about this story,
which
details Cheney's criticism of US policy's restricting trade
with terrorist states as well as investing in them. He did
and here is the tale. (091804c) The prison abuse scandal, just one of the many
scandals that get brief mention on the TV news, stinks up
the Pentagon and perhaps the White House, but
the line is that no one knew anything about it so no one is
to blame (091404a) And here is a bit more on that
story, a few more details and the discerning reader might
ask, "ha'
de fuk is dey be doin' up dere in dat White House if'n dey
bees allowin' dat sorter crap?" (091404f) Then
there is Saudi Government, Saudi 9/11 moneymen, and an FBI
agent all happily together in San Diego as
roommates. To hear the FBI tell it they didn't
know the agent's roommates were suspicious, the CIA didn't
tell them, and even though the agent was charged with
"looking
out for suspicious activity in the Saudi community" well, he
didn't exactly do that, did he? Or did he? Is this story
being covered by CNN, CBS, anyone???
(091404c) Prince "Bandar Bush" and Georgie standing on the
Truman balcony and take in the night air on 9/13.
They
could see the Pentagon fire, at the time it was thought the
twin towers had created 40,000 deaths, that Saudi's had been
the main perps, Saudi money had been involved, and that
there were plans to get 140 Bin Ladens out of the US by air
without interviewing, looking for evidence. What
did Bush and Bandar talk about? (091404d) Say, and don't be caught out with a V.W.B.
It
is a serious business, "voting while black"
(091404b) If you want to know more check out the
"organization woman" who runs Black
Box Voting who is blowing the whistle on this
situation. (091404e) Bush says that Kerry's plans will cost two trillion
dollars and that it is outrageous, what
he does not mention is that his plan could top three
trillion and that's not including an ongoing war. What a
jackass. (091404j) And
while we're at it, why not have a Cocaine
Presidency? I hear the drug makes you feel like a
new man, and that's what we need, a new man in the White
House. (091404g) If
you're in the National Guard, you may have heard about the
call ups for deployment scheduled, guess when, early
November. Some say it is the ordinary call up to
rotate troops others say it is larger than that we'll find
out, I guess, if Bush wins. (091904d) And here is the "Jersey Girls" those who made the 9/11
commission happen saying that Bush blocked their efforts
attempting to thwart them at every turn, this
is surely the "anti - terror
president"(091704b) Global Warming: Well it seems that England's
Tony Blair has seen some sort of light on the Global Warming
issue, over on this side of the pond we have
profound silence, is anyone else 'bushed"? (091404h) But we are doing our best here in this country to take
care of business. To
that end read how the environment is being looted, ignored
as fat and sassy paybacks go Ka - ching at the old bank,
Bush is the best president corporate money can
buy. (091704a) Muddle East/Iraq: Here is a brief story that made the rounds.
This
illustrates the difficulty our troops face, how harsh this
war is, and how we are making enemies at an alarming
rate. (091404i) How about this, 25,000
casualties of all kinds in Iraq as of this point, about 1K
killed, 7K wounded, and 16K "evacuated" because they were no
longer fit for service. (091604a) Got Oil? That's right this article outlines the possibility
that the
"peak oil" phenomenon may be at our doorstep, even as this
is written, even as you read it Sayyyyy it aint
so... (092104a)
