What a brilliant comparison - John McCain is more Herbert Hoover than George W. - (Palin is George W. in drag - so far we have not seen them in the same room so who knows LOLS - morph their faces together - same person and their politics and ways of governing are frighteningly so...but I digress.)

The always brilliant Paul Krugman mad a great observation and a great campaign slogan last night night on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

The Bush regime with all it's fear mongering over Iran alleged support of terror in Iraq seems to be ignoring completely the huge role that Saudi Arabia plays, has played in the past (911 hijackers. Both CNN and Huffington Post have articles about Saudis from Al Quaeda in Iraq forcing teenage Iraqis to be suicide bombers.... more below....

I was attending a free concert in Connecticut celebrating Israels 60th anniversary featuring the famed Israeli singer and peace proponent David Broza. Several prominent Connecticut politicians show up to the event, one of the benefits of living in a small state. Christopher Dodd and Richard Blumenthal also came and spoke before the concert. Both Dodd and Blumenthal spoke eloquently about their feelings about the state of Israel however Shays truly jumped the shark!!

Today a Kossak listed the results of a poll asking for people to define themselves and their outlook based on single words or simplistic phrases. This got me thinking about the famous quote attributed to Soren Kierkegaard- "Once you label me you negate me"
Why does our society feel the need to be perpetually labeling people and therby negating what makes humanity fascinating our intrinsic complexity and contradictions. The need to parse things down to one or two words really does not do anything to help us understand each other in fact in plays in to the hands of people like Karl Rove who would like to keep people in a divide and destroy state.

I recently while doing a freelance job realized what a large percentage of plastic we use cannot recycle in many communities mine included. At the present time my town only reclycles no's 1 and 2 plastics.
Having heard of the large mass of plastic floating in the Pacific Ocean, the size of two Texases that scientists have knicknamed "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch" (google this and you will find a lot of info.). This mass is going great harm to the ocean life, sea turtles etc are getting sick from mistaking it for plankton their source of food. Reading about this got me thinking....

This story needs to spread like wildfire!!! It needs to be passed on to anyone you know because I have a feeling the mainstream media will not do it justice! The front page of the Huffington Post has great coverage so I will just put a link and a flavor of the article here!

Documents Expose Huckabee's Role In Serial Rapist's Release

Murry Waas writes his reasoning for this expose.

Now that Huckabee is running for president, and after consulting with the victims and their families, I have decided to proceed, given what his actions on the case - and his attempts to whitewash his involvement in it -- say about his judgment and integrity.

PLEASE RECOMMEND THIS IS IMPORTANT INFO AS HUCKABEE IS GAINING MOMENTUM and the MAINSTREAM PRESS IS GIVING HIM A PASS RIGHT NOW!! Diary is sinking fast and will soon slip into oblivion - this is important hope it does not!!
Well I tried Hope the story spreads!!!

Yesterday I wrote a diary about Michael Moore's excellent documentry SICKO.
One of the responses got me thinking and lead to this posting.
The poster commenting wrote the following:

"The problem is that Americans aren't socialist nor do they hate Capitalism, as Moore's movie seems to indirectly attack. Although Moore probably has the support of most of the audience throughout the film, when he starts glorifying Cuban society and Fidel Castro, he loses people.
Americans want healthcare reform, but they don't want socialism either. The type of reform that they would probably support is where where doctors remain private, but receive reimbursements from the government. They don't want massive bureaucracies or the government to choose their doctor.
"

In this post I want to address several fallacies in this response and seeming misunderstandings lead from mainstream propaganda of the corporate media that this poster seems to be espousing. More below... please read on...

As an American Jew I am appalled at the lack of reasonable discourse over the occupation of the West Bank & Gaza. Ironically there are move voices heard in Israel than there are in America and their voices are not silenced by accusations of Antisemitism and self hatred.
Let me clarify one thing at the get go I do not question Israels right to exist - I was raised in a very pro Israel family and have spent over 2 1/2 years of my life collectively in Israel in addition to day school, Camp Ramah etc.... please read on knowing that...

Bill Moyers writes and speaks with the passon of a Baptist preacher without seeming preachy - a true accomplishment! without further ado the words of Bill Moyers...
