ok...

Maybe I am being paranoid here...but I cannot help thinking that the unfolding of events yesterday did not look very suspicious to me.

Basically, you bush delivering his speech, in an attempt to bolster support for his "War on Terror".

Then on the VERY SAME day, you have this event occuring on the very same day.

Am I being overly paranoid here? Recent past history has shown that the bushco will stoop to nothing to try and cow the American public into 'towing the line'

ok...now that everyone is talking about war, and is currently war crazy, let us review all these "wars"???

War on Drugs, (Nancy Reagan started this one), maybe it will be finished when the Right-wing Evangelicals finally do-in that Hugo Chavez dude?
War on Terrorism, (9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, rinse wash, repeat!)
Now we have: war on pornography?

I am starting to feel a little punch drunk!

The Feds pugnacious policies, (or maybe putrescient?)

ok...
Here I go again about rants against the gentle economic disaster awaiting us. This economic train wreck will not be the spectacular one-time event spanning 4 or so months. But it will be a long term decline and stagnation of the economy.
Basically;
--> decline of the dollar
--> expanding trade deficit
--> lower wages and living standards for avg American
--> continued outsourcing of manufacturing jobs to overseas where slave, or virtually slave labor is used. Read More

ok, This view will NOT be very popular out here. There are many here that are truly enamoured by Lakaff et. al. Lakoff is an Academic, he studies, espouses and analyzes.

To truly grasp what is happening, and how we got "done"; I believe this article from Zogby pretty much sums it up.

Even in spite of the fact that Trent Lott has weighed in against rummy:

and...
We have one of the senior contributors for the American Enterprise institute weighing in:

but wait, theres more! All of this from the leaders of the Republican party:

I still think that ol' bushie et al will still keep rummy and keep on praisin' him for a job well done???

There is no substitute for arrogant incompetence...plus it is well known that sh*t floats to the top.

ok...
This is my 2nd diary entry today. I have been 'lurking' here for about a year now. Just recently, I started making these diary entries, adding my comments and such, and have found:

That this blogging thing is fun and, in a sense, addictive!

Well, the other thing I noticed is most everyone here is pretty civil, and there is not a lot of hate rhetoric going on. Read More

ok...
I know that there is a lot of hand-wringing about our fine Democratic Party...I thought it would be good for me to post some thoughts on McAuliffe.

What can I say; I believe that McAuliffe, even inspite of our losses, did a marvelous job during his watch. Actually, I believe, in total, the Democrats did a pretty good job in starting to build the foundations that will be needed to take our country back.

sheesh!

Everyone is talking about Iraq, and the war on Terror. The next big bushie thing will be the great Economic Train Wreck.

It will start out innocently enough. Basically, we will see:

Some job growth, but still anemic.
Depreciating dollar vs. foreign currency.
Gradual boosting of the Fed interest rates.
Vague warnings from the Feds.

The basic problem is we are really living way beyond our means! Even my conservative Republican friends acknowledge this. They also tell me that sadly, the Democrats, in the recent past seem to have a better track record at fiscal responsibility.

ok...

Here is some more stuff for you to chew on. Class...there will be a pop quiz on this next week!

The spooks at the Pentagon came up with this Manthorpe Curve back in 1991. Here is the URL

http://www.thomaspmbarnett.com/pnm/manthorpe_curve.htm

Check out that IRAQ bump in 2005!

It seems as if the fellows in the Naval War College must live/study/eat this stuff 24-7

Anybody out there read Thomas PM Barnett? I am tempted to go ahead and purchase his latest book on these matters.

It never ceases to amaze me

Last night, (7-Dec-2004) I watched Paul O'Neill. I must say, he is a very insightful, and intelligent person.

It never ceases to amaze me how the conservative intelligensia is continuing to get co-opted by our present right-wing leaders.

A point in kind is to read some of James Webb's stuff. (Webb wrote this immediately after 9-11)

http://www.jameswebb.com/articles/variouspubs/navalinstitute.htm

James Webb has contributed articles to the AEI, and other right-wing conservative think tanks. However, voices like his continue to be marginalized by the likes of Coulter, Hannity et. al.

It is sad indeed.

Who? Whom???

Who? Whom? is serving their country??? Look at the numbers, I got this from a gov't DOD site. Nothing like getting the information straight from the horses mouth!

http://web1.whs.osd.mil/mmid/casualty/castop.htm

It really galls me that those stupid red states talk about their patriotism. When the brunt of the service is being done by our beloved California!!!

The numbers do not lie...even inspight of the SHITTY things that the press says about the Reds being more patriotic and willing to serve than the Blues!

What also PISSES me off, is I talk to goopers and they talk big. But... when it comes to sending their sons and daughters to fight, they quickly change the subject! Read More

I hope you don't mind...but I need to vent right now.

Basically:

--> even though I am a Christian; I am not feeling in a very charitable mood right now. Those young/poor/neo-republicans...> FUCK EM! LET THEM STAY POOR!

--> even though I, throughout my life, have been a staunch Democrat, always fighting for those that cannot protect themselves; I do not feel like sticking up for those that have less than me anymore! Again Those young/poor/neo-republicans...> FUCK EM AGAIN! Let's gut all the welfare programs and institute a form of indentured servitude for these poor SAPS! Read More
