I didn't see this posted here. I hoped that is because I missed it, not because no one else saw fit to bring it up. This is a devastating and reasoned call to account for this nations history.

My feeling? We should give reparations in the form of free education, affirmative action and anything else we can think of. We should do this until it is ludicrous to do so because Black Americans are doing so well. Then we should do it for another 250 years.

Its a little hard to believe that a bunch of armed conservatards were ready to do battle with the anti christ. Hard to believe that anyone could be so ignorant. If you are going to believe in a book that has all that anti christ stuff in it then you should know at least a little bit about it.

So for any of you here who are worried about battling the anti christ let me help you get started with a little background.

We now know that John McCain, while not being experienced enough to run Hewlett-Packard (possibly because they give benefits to civil unions) he is the inventor of the Blackberry.

Well, that isn't the only thing he has invented. Here is just a partial list moving from present to past:

Nanotechnology:

My friends, John McCain had five years in a prison camp to think about this idea. He was watching the roaches in his cell and thought, "What if we could make small organisms to do this in the body?" He was able to buy one of his houses with the money he made from that patent.

Mitt Romney was a moderate Governor of a liberal state. On of the most liberal states in the nation. He could have reshaped the Bush Republican Party back into a national party if he had the imagination to do so. Instead he chose to wage the last campaign and go into other peoples turf. It was bad for his career, bad for his party and ended any Presidential hopes he could ever have.

What we have now is a "gimme" election, with John McCain and Caribou Barbie running as a meaner version of Bush/Cheney.

It could have been different.

The Bush Republicans are bemoaning the fact that Hillary Clinton was not chosen as the VP because she was the second place finisher. McCain's hired guns from the Bush-Cheney White House even put out an ad saying as much.

Des this mean that he is choosing Mike Huckabee? Huckabee got millions of votes. If not, why not?

According to Rudy Giuliani (here), Dick Cheney and the highly respected Senator from New Hampshire, John Sununu, China is drilling for oil off the coast of Cuba.

Yet another failure by the Bush administration. If this is true then why is the White House just sitting there with its hand up its collective arse while China builds oil platforms just as few miles from Florida? This is an egregious dereliction of duty by the President.

he said duty

There are so many reasons to stop Panamanian immigrant Juan McCain. Beside the fact that he may be a sleeper agent for Manuel Noriega, we must protect his wife.

How can we protect her? First Ladies often take trips abroad. Can she trust herself in Aghanistan? It is the largest producer of opiates in the world, if she is willing to steal drugs from a charity that she runs, imagine what she would do in a nation full of opium poppies. how about Columbia? What if she ever went on Rush Limbaugh's show?

That's not all:

Of course it matters but not in the political sense.

If a doctor lies to you about your diagnosis to make insurance money, botches the unneeded surgery, lies about THAT, doesn't let other doctors look at you and then finally stops the bleeding just before you become Terry Schiavo, do I thank that guy?

This will be my shortest diary ever. The answer to this problem is as simple as it is impossible.

If any player is cuaght using performance enhancing drugs, all games that player participated in (meaning was on the roster for) will be forfeited and ALL REVENUES FORFEITED.

According to the Mitchell report, the LA Dodgers felt the need to trade Paul LoDuca because his stoppage of steroids took away his gap power.

The people running the Cardinals not only lied about knowing about steroid use but the son of the strength coach used steroids.

Theo Epstein, the halo wearing GM of the Boston Red Sox, asked about Eric Gagne's steroid use, got a response that he did use steroids, and THEN signed him as a free agent.

Cut off the money of the TEAMS caught using. Cut off the money of the LEAGUES that tacitly endorse it.

Gonzalesgate: They’re Reading Us Right Now!
By Randy Hauser And Doug Ferrari, Comedian

So Alberto Gonzales finally resigned. He said he wanted to spend more time not recalling his family...

Bush should have fired Gonzales long ago, because he was Bush’s lawyer for 13 years, and he certainly never kept him out of trouble...

Seriously, Bush wouldn’t fire "Fredo" (as he called him), for one reason: he got Bush out of jury duty in Texas, because George’s DUI would have come out and hurt him in an eventual Presidential run. I wonder if that was before or after "God told him" to stop drinking. (By the way, George, you ought to stop saying that -- we know it was Laura who poured your booze down the toilet and told you if you didn't stop, she'd take the kids and leave you.) Now Bush is America's Number One dry drunk. He has never mentioned AA, going any kind of meetings, or working any 12-step program, he just quit because he's so strong and stubborn. Now he drinks "Lefty O'Doul's".

AP Warsaw
In a bold and stunning development, the Left Wing leaning political message board "Daily Kos" invaded Poland today with an army of nearly 450,000 bloggers. Using mostly bombastic hyperbole and sharp rhetoric, the bloggers overwhelmed Polish grammarians and quickly seized control of the nations political debate.

The tiny and outdated Polish servers could not withstand repeated Google bombs and soon crumpled under the assault. The capital of Warsaw is still holding on but many conservatives are already fleeing for fear of reprisals from the many ex hippies and gen xers involved in this "movement" which has been likened by some to the Nazis.
