MSNBC and NBC are looking like Fox defending oil companies. This is despicable.But I want all 75 generals investigated. I want their finances published. I want to know how much money they make from their pensions, from the Pentagon whether for expenses or not, from TV, from Radio, from the Web, and from defense contractors. Every goddamn dime. One blogger noted that he wished General Marshall was still alive so he could set these guys down and talk about public service. Please keep on this story.

Sometimes I think this whole world is one big prison yard, some of us are prisoners, and the other of us are guards. B. Dylan

Rummy is not just polishing his flies, but counting all the monies he has made from pharmaceuticals. He made a mint on w's rip off of Medicare/Medicaid for prescription medicines.

Halliburton is now a Dubai Corporation after having made 60-80 billion dollars--all from the tax coffers provided by the American People. Dicky filed income tax returns for 2006 showing income of over 16 million and pooh poohing it in some grumbling manner and no one has followed this up. Remember his 'severance pay' was supposedly $20,000,000 at the time the Supreme Court made him VP.

Bugliosi is absolutely ranting that if he has anything to do with it, w will not live the 'high life' never regretting 10% of his sins. At least we know that even with a no-name biographer, w cannot sell a book right now. He has sent his book to every single Federal D.A. in the country demanding justice against w and his cohorts.

Barack could set a new precedent by allowing pardons in the beginning of his Administration to people who have absolutely nothing to do with him. Every Blue Moon, I will agree with a basic conservative sentiment. Not only should anybody in prison because of the Abu Ghraib mess be freed but I think those two border guards that fat head racist Dobson keeps talking about should also be freed.

Why not set up panels all over the ocuntry and free ten per cent of everyone in prison today? We imprison more people than China and China has 4 times our population. The Executive Branch is the only tool to get in there and do something about it.

I do not wish to free baby killers or baby rapists or serial killers. They represent a small percentage of our prison population.

But Americans imprisoned for growing or selling maryjane is laughable.

Rummy is a hundred and five and Dicky, whose cardiac history looks a lot like Redd Foxx, aint going to be around much longer.

Obama loses nothing in terms of political capital in having a panel reexamine our prison/justice system.

Republicans lover the expression: "Life is unfair." And that is because they work so hard to make it so.

This is great. I want this story all over the net. BUT NBC IS ONLY A SMALL PART OF THIS.

McCaffrey got his stipend from Veritas, got his expenses paid and extra from the Pentagon and got his pension and got money from NBC, MSNBC.

He also got his marching orders from Rummy and when he strayed Rummy pulled away his 'favored access' which threatened his job with Veritas. Fine, NBC and MSNBC became shills for W and Dickie and Rummy.

McCaffrey's contract with the defense contractor paid him $5,000.oo a month. But the k also provided that he could get a piece of the action on the total contract that ended up being worth over 4.5 billion dollars. But only if THE UNITED STATES STAYED IN IRAQ FOR A LONG TIME.

It is right in the NYT article. This son of a bitch wouldn't make the big bonus if we got out of that country too early.

McCaffrey is a rotten, lying, traitor to the USA, to the 300,000,000 million denizens who reside therein, to his own oath, to his old troops that he led. And this bastard is only one of 75 of the propaganda troop put together by dickie and rummy and w.

Never, ever ever believe one goddamn thing that comes out of a general's mouth unless you have his entire financials in front of you.

Sucking on tommy's big stick? On Sunday? If you really wish to get angry about Iraq, read NYT's take on General McCafferty. I posted on my amateur Open Salon this AM. But I want a take from you. Defense contracts actually stated that the longer we stayed in Iraq, the more money the generals would make.

One barbarian tribe destroying another barbarian tribe. I am speaking of the Spaniards and the Aztecs.

There is something to the barbarian perspective. What if we took the top management of some of these companies that are receiving the bailout and who are expecting to receive some 125 Billion Dollars in bonuses.

We could build an altar and sacrifice them to the gods of justice? You know the advertising monies you could generate during that reality show? The bailout would end up being paid off in less than a month.

This post is well written and provides a sentiment that can be seen and heard nation wide. This post brought tears to my eyes. And most of the comments agree.

Happy Thanksgiving. Belatedly.
