Hi Heather, Tee Vee may not be the best medium to describe the realities

at the end of 2008. Better that we just think, imagine, visualize: -things we

did before TV, and the 'pods' holding zillagigs of info. It was less than 2 decades

ago, that a geektank in Cal. estimated the entire web at 8 teras. My hdd is half

a tera.

En tout cas... You describe the ca. fires, shown continuously, then a couple

of zitcom wonks reflecting on a hero's duty to save the world... Shouldnt the fire

folks email the wonks, --that, gee guys --the end of the world is just down

the interstate a bit, you can save travel expenses and your crumbling plot.

......And yes, So It Is! The end of the world IS just down the interstate a bit,

burning out banks, GM, state budget comittees, enviro initiatives, health care,

your kitchen, bathroom and scenic deck! ie most of your past, present and future.

And yes! we have lotsa time travelling econowonks debating about how heros

should save the world.....

So, the Hill and Bill wagon is laying in the shotguns and baked beans for the

four year trek to profitable Self Realization. The bunting is rolled up under

the buckboards, to roll out in a mere 40+ months! With the 2 senators from

Tel Aviv, Hill and Joe, screwing the agenda, progressives (in TA also),

are looking for a bottle of jet fuel octane Teqi to anaethesize the disgust at

The Wars which Never End.

But Wait!! As the econowonks repeat econ 101 lecture notes endlessly, (in the absence

of any Real news or Originality): "a falling tide lowers all boats." (....mmm, part of Ronnies'

trickle down incontenence)

Which means in lay terms: There aint No F*** $$$$ left folks!! Gone! All Gone!

--Zilch. Nada. Zip, Busted. No $$, no War! Reread your Machiavelli if you dont believe.

Get some popcorn and Watch: Senators slobbering over chopping bases, jets, humvees,

radar sites, launchpads, ---all of it, Gone! Enjoy.

Hmmm..... Blogs become so 'Correct' under feaful administrators that all the adrenyline

is leached away in less than a year..... The 'heavy' ( most skilled, imaginitve, knowlegable

writers/thinkers) drift away, not wishing to be a part of a bored navel gazing self congratulatory

clique.

They drift toward the less known blogs, run by people who dont tolerate the above either .

It takes only one or 2 to start the migration, then a cascade. I'm looking, --many others also.

I didnt say Rabbit, --did I ??!

"CHANGE is Necessary, So that Things can Remain the Same" ---Guiseppe di Lampadusa

(The Leopard, )

--which I lifted from Sajit Das, (Minyanville.com) (who is, by the way, the

ulitimate authority on debt, deflation etc. --more popcorn! :-) )

Excellent commentary. Excellent photoshop

More! Keep the gloves OFF!!

Brilliant analysis! This woman is a bunny with

the ruthlessness of a Cheny, and the stupidity

of George Bush.

You see the cutthroat ruthlessness, that most commentators

dont.

She reminds me of the Elsa comics from years ago.

Elsa, the sexy sadist fetish figure ss prison guard.

If we have a recession, which becomes a depression (as many

analysts say is unavoidable), we may have brownshirts

on our streets before long. Oh no, I mean a 'Christian Youth Corps' -with exercise fresh air, drill and target practice on the weekends. You are right to be so angry.

I think we need a few rabbi's to dissect this woman cell by cell

to the level expressed here. (I am not Jewish) When does late become too late?

I can hear the poo poo of the Patriots. Just a Little bit of

fascism wont hurt you? There is no such thing as fascism lite.

What the F-- do you think people will do after 2-3 years of hunger,

desperation, anger and hoplessness? Well what do they do Now, in the black and in the white ghettos, in the foreclosed and abandoned houses?

Excellent analysis and writing. Thank-you.
