SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

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.

GENERAL MCCAFFERY

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.

CHRIS WALLACE AND THE MINISTRY OF PROPAGANDA

Brownie, your doing a heck of a job.

What every good Democrat needs is a cheat sheet. Not the function of the Daily Beast that gets you to other feeds. But a list of the biggest atrocities that Bush, Cheney, Rummy and their who crew perpetrated over the last eight years.

Then when you come across a pathological liar like Wallace, you you read them off. 15 or 20, that is all it takes.

Then you can tell him to take his head out of his ass.

To actually stand bold faced and state that 9/11/01 precipitated the invasion of Iraq is a damn lie-Wallace says it and w said it last nite on ABC.

I never saw it coming. I was really unprepared for this and never thought of going to war when I came into office.

All you have to do is read Ron Suskind, Paul O'Neill, and scores of other authors demonstrating the Iraq invasion was planned before the son of a bitch ever got into office. And they all prove, beyond any reasonable doubt that Sadaam had nothing to do with 9/11.

One aide heard Rummy mumbling on 9/12/01 as he surveyed the damage to the Pentagon: Well I guess he found a way.

Everytime one of these pathological liars says otherwise, we all need to do our part and respond, and respond harshly and informatively.

Revisionism has already started before we have even had the chance to go through the waste paper baskets in the White House and every single administrative agency of these fascists and get the goods on them.

I am predicting that twenty years from now, no one will doubt that Bush has made Nixon look like he was guilty of petty misdemeanors.

HISTORY & HILLARY

You know Madeline Albright has a nice life. And I do not hear any venom against her. The Glass Ceiling was broken once and for all.

The issue is not Hillary's history with Barack. Hillary and Barack are going to make history. I see Hillary as a Stateswoman and she will make America proud.

OLSHAN HUMOR

I just got through reading some tripe about Laura and a 300 pound gingerbread house. Then I turn to this:

"I had an immediate, convulsive reaction to the request," she says. "Why would I want to put a smiley face of tacit approval on an administration famous for lies, greed, warmongering and religious fundamentalism?"

I cannot top that. No wonder you get 100 comments. If I had a 3 hour interview with the ghost of Winston Churchill, I could not get that many comments.

KEITH KNIGHT

THIS IS UNFAIR. I still have all of my teeth--if you count my crowns.
