Those damn spooky holes in Mars

I've mentioned these before but I thought I'd just mention 'em again.

It's important to remember the truth about Dan Rather and the National Guard story

The story was true. The memos that got CBS in trouble are not the story. They wouldn't be the story if they were not forgeries (and no one has proven that they were). This is just one more example of the media being terrified of the White House.

I simply can't understand what they're afraid of. Access? Then you've got a story that you run every day about how the president is fucking the American people. I don't understand.

Tom Tomorrow is on to Alan Greenspan

Kucinich, the AARP, and health insurance

The American Association of Retired Persons had a debate of the Democratic candidates for president in Iowa last week. They didn't invite Dennis Kucinich. Oh, you may say, they didn't see any point in inviting somebody who has less than 3% in the polls in Iowa and whom everybody knows doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting the Democratic nomination. Shrug.

Did you know that Kucinich's platform calls for single-payer, no premiums, no co-pay, no deductibles, universal health insurance? Oh, and you'd get to choose your own doctor? The deatils are in House Resolution 676. Did you know that in polls the majority of Americans want this kind of health care coverage?

Did you know that through their strategic partnership with United Health Care and Aetna that the AARP will make a $4.4 billion profit over the next seven years from selling health insurance to senior citizens?

Are you outraged yet?

You can give Dennis Kucinich the money he needs to get his message out to America here.

So Cheney contemplated asking the Israelis to attack Iran

Well, I don't suppose that hurts anything, right -- thinking about asking the Israelis to do something? I think about what the US should ask other countries to do all the time and he doesn't have any more authority than I do, right? Right?

I mean, he's only the vice-president. Scour the Constitution. You won't find a fripping thing in it that gives the vice-president any powers other than presiding over the Senate. I've always thought that could be used a lot better than it ever has except when Thomas Jefferson had the job but that's another story.

Whyowhyo do we not impeach this man for usurping authority?



Impeach Cheney, remove him from office, prosecute him, try him, convict him, and imprison him. Now.

Fundamentalist Scientologists

As Bob is my witless, there are people who think that Scientology has been corrupted and that a return to its pure form is called for. Perhaps it's a joke. But how could you tell?

It's more than a metaphor

It makes more sense that he's worried about zombies than about terrorists.

Can we impeach them now?

They knew there were no weapons of mass destruction. And most people are going to say "Well, of course they knew," and then go on with their lives. The men and women who have died in the occupation won't be able to go on with their lives, will they?

There has never been a more corrupt or morally bankrupt administration. History will recall that not only was George W Bush the worst president in American history, he presided over the most jaded, ambivalent group of American ever and that they got what they deserved.


Impeach the mother fuckers, remove them from office, prosecute them, convict them, and imprison them.

Deporting father of dead soldier

Our government is capable of deeply, deeply...uhm...tasteless (?) moves. Of course, there are those that would say that our government should be concerned about what is or is not tasteful but -- good god -- can't they let the parents of men and women who gave their fucking lives in this bullshit occupation of a sovereign power citizenship? Or at least green cards?

We lost 5 nukes

For 3 1/2 hours the US military didn't know where 5 nuclear weapons were. Or so they say. It should be worth noting that Barksdale AFB is where everything from the US is routed before it goes to the Mideast. Hmmm. Y'know, we could nuke Iran and claim that they accidently did it themselves and that we need to get in there to save the Iranian people from their evil leaders.
