Just in from the Associated Pravda: George Bush, in what some call a "liberated move" has just pushed the button releasing nuclear armageddon upon all the nations of the world except Great Britain, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Israel and New Zealand. According to the report, Paris will be the first to go, followed by Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, and all the major capitals of the world.

Bush announced the following statement: "It is time we got rid of the evil-doers. God told me to do this. I feel so liberated! I can do anything!"

Cheney was unavailable for comment.

Nancy Pelosi remarked that "Impeachment is STILL off the table!"

Paul Craig Roberts details the complete corporate contempt for the American worker in his excellent article Goodbye To The City Upon A Hill And To Its Fabled Economy. The former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and leading economist foresees the "across the board" destruction of the United States and gives us a graphic account of the rape of this once great nation.

Steve Camarota at the Center for Immigration Studies reported on June 20 that state employment data show that in the first six years of the 21st century 218,000 high school graduates in the state of Georgia have been employment- displaced by immigrants. [ Employment Down Among Natives In Georgia]Moreover, wages have stagnated, putting the lie to the claim that there is a shortage of workers. If there were a labor shortage, wages would be bid up and rising.

Good point. If there are no Americans willing to do the work being taken by illegal immigrants, then why are wages stagnating? Could it be because the Corporate Overlords have decreed that American workers are to be denied jobs at every opportunity? Yes, says Roberts:

Meet Fred Malek. Actually, pray you never have to. It isn't that this is the guy who once worked for CREEP (the Campaign to Re-Elect the President) to get Nixon re-elected that makes him so evil, though that certainly won't speak well for him at the Pearly Gates. It wasn't that he drew up a list of Jews working in the BLS, ordered FBI investigations of journalists, or was in charge of the illegal responsiveness program. No, all those things might cause a strip search and detainment at said Pearly Gates. Might even result in him being held as an enemy combatant in some undisclosed part of Limbo for an unknown amount of time. No, those things are all part and parcel with just being Republican. What is it that makes me think Fred Malek would get yanked right out of the line and tossed straight into the fiery pits of hell?

This is a guy who was arrested for his part in killing, skinning, gutting and barbecuing on a spit a DOG.

As we have all heard by now, the Iranians have released the British "hostages". Though one could also say that today Iran deported the illegal British immigrants. But then again, no, one couldn't say either because they neither released, nor deported them.

They swapped them.

The story of how they came to swap them and who they swapped them for is interesting in and of itself, but when one considers that the U.S. is conducting wargames off Irans coast and that the word on the street is that the U.S. is mulling the nuclear option for Iran and one has to pause at the audacity of the Iranians to grab up British sailors in a move that could only be described as tit for tat.

The details of this little drama will unfold after the fold...

In todays Daily Kos, Kos himself helps spread a right wing lie:

I have no love for Chavez. Despite his populist record, he's also given himself dictatorial powers usurping his nation's courts and legislature.

Geez Kos, you'd think you'd buy a clue before you made such an unequivocably false assertion.

What we have gotten from the MSM the past 6 years is NOT what we will get from them once a Dem gets elected. For the last six years the MSM has sat silent upon some of the biggest stories to ever hit this nation:

The Niger Yellowcake forgeries and the governments refusal to even interrogate the man who first submitted them.

The outing of Valerie Plame was a nonstory until Patrick Fitzgerald came on the scene.

Not one article in the MSM about the real reasons we went to war in Iraq.

In light of the recent chilling revelations about Al Queda's intent to detonate a nuclear bomb in the U.S., I thought I should repost a diary I put up a few months back that exposed the fact that Bush, under pressure from the Republicans, actually posted up a guide on how to build a nuclear bomb.

In Arabic.

Just in case any of you have forgotten just how incompetent the Republicans really are at keeping America safe.

Five Generals threaten to resign if Bush attacks Iran. How is that different than what Watada did? Why can a General just resign but a Lt. cannot? Why can't the rest of our volunteer army just UN-volunteer but a General can?

Or how about this for a thought: Why, after ignoring intel that said Osama was going to strike on 9-11 and now ignoring possible signs of a nuclear terrorist attack, aren't we demanding George Bush's resignation, effective immediately?

If ever there was an argument for IMPEACHMENT NOW, this is it: Our country desperately needs LEADERSHIP before the next terrorist attack ends in a mushroom cloud.

First, this administration used forged documents about Niger Yellowcake Iraq was trying to acquire from Niger in order to build the case for war with Iraq. A blatant fabrication that Joe Wilson exposed and eventually led to the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Now this administration is using a new kind fabrication in order to build the case for war with Iran. Forged Iranian anti-tank rocket propelled grenades. You remember how obvious it was to everyone but the White House administration that the Niger documents were cheap forgeries? They were so imcompetent that they even got the dates and names wrong on the documents.

Well, now they've screwed the pooch on forging the "Iranian" rocket grenades as well...

Military judge Lt. Col. John Head declared a mistrial Wednesday because he felt Lt. Ehren Watada did not understand a document he had signed in which he admitted that he had a duty to go to Iraq with his fellow soldiers. Watada has testified that he only intended to admit that he would not go to Iraq, not that he had a duty to do so. This strikes to the core of the Watada defense, the defense that judge Head has illegaly denied the Lt.

Judge Head, in an evident attempt to aid and abet war crimes, has ruled that Watada cannot argue that the war is illegal. Watada's defense is that he is duty bound NOT to go to Iraq. Therefore, to admit he has a duty TO go to Iraq would contradict his own defense. So when Watada testified today that he did NOT understand he was admitting to a duty to go to Iraq, the entire can of worms the judge had tried to avoid ran headlong into the prosecutions case. Call Watada on it and the Lt. STILL gets to strike to the heart of the entire case: It is BY LAW a soldiers legal DUTY to refuse to obey an illegal order including participating in an illegal war.

That's what former Navy hospital corpsman Chanan Suarez-Diaz testified to at the Citizens' Hearing On The Legality Of U.S. Actions In Iraq: The Case of Lt. Ehren Watada, January 21st, 2007 at Evergreen State College in Tacoma Washington. Suarez-Diaz was stationed with 2nd Battalion 5th Marines, the most decorated battalion in the marine corps. He was attached to weapons company. He was referring to a platoon of his company, whiskey two platoon.

This platoon used to have brain matter from people they had killed from .50 Cals. They used to grab brain matter and bring it on the base and put it into the refrigerator. They literally went crazy. I know this isn't an isolated incident, this happens everyday in Iraq.

Well it's time the truth about what's happening in Iraq became known to the public. It's time all the horrors and injustices were spread far and wide. So take this diary and pass it on. Email it to everyone. Let America know what fucked up, unthinkable things are being done in our names. As Mr. Soros said, "Let the De-Nazification begin".

Yep, I'm a proud parent, boasting of my childs work. She was given the assignment in AP English to write what JFK's Inaugural Address would look like in today's political climate. Instead, she wrote what JFK's Inaugural Address would look like if Bush had written it. Or is it Bush's Inaugural Address if Kennedy had written it? You be the judge.

I'm biased, but I think this will reach the top of the rec list :)
