My apologies for the paucity of links in anything I write as I reference other ideas but I read too much and am too poor a researcher being so many years removed from academia to catalog everything. In any event...
- Someone asked why so many people are being offered up as sacrificial lambs when so clearly everything revolves around Karl. I tossed that around and it seems to me to be a very real possibility that the moniker 'Bush's Brain' may not be too much hyperbole. This also touches on a point I have made several times: W may not be indictable or impeachable on any criminal grounds because he is as stupid as we have all feared and is completely out of the loop on most if not all of what his people are doing. This doesn't excuse his incompetence which is impeachable and would so clearly stem out of his aloof attitude if this is the case.
So, why is Rove not being put up? He is in control of the domestic politics, with Cheney at the helm of foreign affairs and defense, and Bush is just the face.
- Did anyone know that Wolfowitz had a hard on for Iraq dating back to the end of the Carter presidency?
- If I had the money I would buy an arsenal to protect myself from an overreaching government or to supply myself if revolution becomes necessary.
- I wonder how many conservative, Bush ball-licking sites will shut down comments now that even they must realize the WH is coming to the point of being indefensible. So many of them do anyway, but I wonder how many more in order to shut out the now overwhelming chorus of logic and justice.
- Is the media finally awake now that public opinion has shifted? Can they now expand and extend the work of the Hershes and the Moyers, inter alia, and not fear unbiased truth?
- Bush said he'll be dead when they (the historians) get it right. He may very well be right about this since it may take that long to uncover the multitudinous layers of mendacity, criminality, corruption and incompetence.
- If I had a warehouse in 2000-2001, I would have stocked it full of brass balls knowing what we were about to face. I would have gone broke since there was no market for them. I would happily hand them out for free now, however.
- How fucking strong is the camel's back??!!
- I will happily lead, take part in a MASSIVE PROTEST or MARCH to the Hill a/o around the WH. I cannot, however, organize such an event as I have no experience in this. I do have experience marching and protesting for democracy around the world (one of the films of protests in Moscow back in 1990 catches me holding and waving the Estonian flag; a little later I was with the Georgian flag but I don't remember seeing that; add to that several places in the Balkans and a couple of months in Kiev with my wife and sisters-in-law), jumping police barricades to add my little frame to a just movement, and mouthing off to assholes on the right using a very sweet yet acerbic tone (think of something like a profanity-lathered Wolcott).
TIME TO LEND OUR PERSONAL FORCE TO SHUT DOWN DC to show all sides that we are paying attention. Anyone want to put it together?
Okay, my 3 y.o. is up and it's time for me to start my weekend. Enjoy all! I'll be back in to drop a comment as I am able...
