I can’t believe what I just saw! Stephen Colbert doing his Bush spiel right in front of Bush at the Press Corps Dinner? Unbelievable. Colbert went after him with all the usual undercuts to the jaw. I think the Washington Press Corps got a little payback tonight for their four years of hell. That was one sour lookin’ face on our preznint.

Was it Stalin who said, one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic?
I guess the best way to deal with a death toll of 2,400 young Americans is to just see them as an abstract number and not as individuals.Empathy will only weigh you down in Bush’s war on terra. A good solider learns how to shut down the emotions as a coping mechanism.

OK, now for my mad minute of patriotic free associations..freedoms on the march..we’ll fight them there, so we won’t have to fight them here…Make the world safe for democracy…war is mind over matter, Congress doesn’t mind and we don’t matter!..when I die,i’ll go to heaven because i’ve served my time in hell…when I kill,all I feel is the recoil of my M-16…If I had a home in hell and a farm in Iraq, i’d sell my farm and go home…when I die, bury me face down so the whole world can kiss my ass..better dead than red..kill them all and let God sort it out.. death from above, airborne!!!..put silver wings on my sons chest, make him one of America’s best…my country right or wrong…damn the torpedos, full speed ahead!..christ has died to make men holy, let us fight to make men free..they put me back in the womb..I love the smell of napalm in the morning..God bless America..we weep and we mourn..freedom isn’t free,you have to sacrifice,you have to pay he price, for your liberties…..they’re evildoers and they cut peoples heads off…What Would Rumplestiltskin Do?

Went to a family memorial service this morning. She was a sweet lady, an artist, political debater, community worker, Catholic. Nice eulogy.
During the hymn, as the stirring music filled the air, I felt that hopeful sense of communion with THE GOOD in us all. Tears came. I thought, how can we actually be bombing people right now? If only we could all share this same sense of the sanctity of all life everywhere, then maybe - - - and then I realized that people like Bush and his followers are also singing their hearts out in church. They have the same feelings welling up inside of them, too. My heart gave a lurch.
These people have set the bar in a different place than I have. Want to save human life, they say? We have to take it first, they say. And so it has been from the beginnings of human history.

Gee, that’s a hard one for the decider -in- chief..Does he toss Rummy overboard and appear to be caving into his critics or does he hold fast to a political liability to appear loyal and confident? Personally I hope he keeps Rummy because Rummy is the focus of the military’s disatisfaction and he represents the only avenue for the military to speak out against Bush’s incompetence…. sort of a presidental whipping boy.

Actually Rummy should collect up his pensions and retire. he can head down here to god’s waiting room in sunny St Peterburg..we have the holocaust museum downtown and plenty of places where he can get a good lap dance to enjoy his golden years.

Coin Powell could have been another George Marshall. Instead, he turned out to be another Ollie North.
Colin, shame…

I blame Colin Powell the most, since he is a vietnam era veteran who knew better and said nothing but participated in the lies. But really what generals would have been listened to? I remember reading about Abizaid being left standing in the hall and excluded from meetings, about the snowflakes, about the political PNAC appointees who would listen to nothing but what they wanted to hear. The military is doing it’s job but no one else is.

wow C U N D gulag,, WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Everytime I am out and see a bush sticker on the car I feel like I should demand they write a check to cover their share of the nations debt, which is about 35k a person now….I feel like I need to ask them”Don’t you see what you’ve done?”…I feel like I should scream “There they are,, they are the ones who have done this to America!!!”….mind you I don’t wish those folks any harm,,,I just want some accountibility….I think I want to hear them say “I am sorry” or that they”made a mistake” or that they had no idea any of this would happen….

I LOVE the idea of public shunning…EVERY bush supporter should be ashamed and I would like to see them start acting that way.IMHO the blood of everyone who died on 911, every innocent who has died in Iraq, and NO, is on their hands….I would sure like to see some sorrow from them for it.Instead I see a bunch of rabid humans, looking for who they can kill next.Who knew in a civilized world HUMAN BEINGS could get so much joy from killing? As CU said,, Shame!

The biggest problem I have with it all is the righties, who think they believe in something, and they are making some grand stand are just being scammed…it’s all for nothing but the profit of big oil and big business…it’s not about some grand plan for freedom and a more Godly world… the powers that be don’t give a shit about any of that..their bottom line is profit.They tell righties it is their right as Americans to drive hummers and use up as much oil as they can… they threw in big tax cuts for those buying huge gas sucking machines and wrapped it in the flag as people rushed out to be the most patriotic on the block,, the bigger the car: the more American you are… then the big oil men in power and those with the oil raise the prices , rake in the big bucks and split the take, all the while laughing at the dumb sheeple who bought into the big lie wrapped in the flag, geez,,talk about screwing the pooch.And this is just an example of how every single issue has been since bush became resident(no typo there,, i meant to say resident)..They wrap issues in God, around a flag,fear,, whatever it takes … it is like watching someone so interested in a small shiney object they don’t see their wallet being stolen…

Then we all suffer for the foolishness of those who I can only assume must hate America…the whole situation is way beyond sad and I can’t imagine what the future will be for our vets or ourselves for that matter.

Perhaps it is time that we all went local and found who gave to bush in 2000 and 2004 and sent them a letter asking them to send in checks to pay for the debt their resident has created, telling them what their support has done to this country as well as to people right in their own home town…perhaps we should put signs in front of their homes saying :Like high oil prices? The person in this house helped bring them to you,, honk if you don’t like it….bush seems to hold no account for his actions,perhaps it is time to look to those who put him there and demand answers for our countries sake.

Dear Leader’s the Decider. He decides. And he’s decided. His decision on Iraq? “Whatever… Just stay the course… Whatever…”
Of course, to the True Believers of Dear Leader, those of us who predicted this ungodly mess was going to happen a home and overseas are the ones at fault. We didn’t march along to his drums of war. We tried to say that the tax cuts would endanger the lives of those less well off. But no… You wanted your pieces of silver. How does it feel to rub those coins in your soft, pudgy white hands now? Any shame rubbing off?
Well I’ve had it!
Every Republican in the country should be made to pay for this man-boy wanna-be Kings mistakes.
They should be made to pay for foisting this arrogant man-child on the rest of us as a great leader.
They should be made to pay for getting him “elected” and “re-elected (as if either of those ever happened, but let’s say theyt did just for the sake of argument).
They should be made to pay for supporting his disasterous policies at home and abroad.
If you are a registered Republican, you should be held accountable. Remember that word? ACCOUNTABLE!!! You threw that word around in 2000. What happened to “accountability” since then?
And every Democrat who supported this hapless, evil stooge should also pitch in. You’re not blameless either. YOu need to be held accountable, too.
When (or should I say, if) this “Reign of Error” ever ends, you all need to dig deep into your f*#$ing tax cuts and pay off the rest of the county’s debt. Then you can start to pay for rebuilding poor New O’rleans.
I don’t know how you pay the poor bastards who bought your line of BS and lost their sons, daughters, or their own lives, limbs and minds. You really need to think hard. How do you pay that off? How do you pay for the dead Iraqi’s who did us no harm?
HOW? How do you sleep at night with all of this? I know I can’t, and I’ve been against King George since before he became the Great Decider.
Here’s your legacy: Death. Destruction. Poverty.
Unfortunately, it America’s legacy now, too. Congratulations on a job well done, Banana Republicans. You’ve done what no enemy could ever do. You’ve destroyed our once great country. Do you know what the rest of the world says? “Shame!” Shame on you! Shame on me! Shame on all of us! There’s not enough shame to go around.
SHAME… shame… shame…

Check out this article in this morning’s Globe and Mail:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060428.wxterror29/BNStory/International/home

Now that we have a new right-wing wannabe government in Canada, the US state department feels empowered to blame it all on Canada. I’ve submitted the following comment to the Globe on this article (as yet unpublished).

“The USA’s prosecution of the so called GWOT has been incompetent and inept. They haven’t had another 911-style attack more out of sheer luck than anything they’ve done to address their own vulnerabilities (i.e. port and chemical plant security, the illegal and dirty war in Iraq started and prosecuted on lies, etc). These miscreants in the USA have been aided and abetted by a pliable and unquestioning US media that’s more interested in smears and lies than reporting the facts. This is the same American government that did nothing while the “system was blinking red” in August 2001 and afterward tried to spread lies among their own people to make them think that the 19 hijackers entered the USA through Canada. They seized an innocent Canadian off a jet in New York and sent him away to be tortured and somehow that is supposed to be Canada’s fault. Jesus Mercy! These lying a-holes know no bounds of decency. The frightening thing is it makes one wonder if the harper administration is silently orchestrating these smears against Canada so that poodle harper gets to please his master bush by appearing to address these phony issues and blame it all on the evil “libruls”. Hah! What a bunch of dingbats!”
