Don't you miss those days of eloquence, visionary flourishes and anunnciation that favored our nation for so long per GWB?

Alas, it's gone from the nation's short-term forgetfulness.

We're all victims (not to minimize or single out one tribe's tribulation) as your response makes me cry for justice of all oppressed people.

Personalizing the issue is satisfying, but not always empowering the argument.

"I was trying to humanize myself, behindthecurtain"

Oh, the humanity. Since you're only a specter above my spock-like insensitivity, I can only envision a Klingon pulling my contrariostic limb.

The pilfering away of lunar radiance from a once full, luminescent moon is cause for reflection and grief.

A study in civilizations.

Jewish tribes slaves become to Egyptians, Syrians and Germans.

Palestinians become slaves to Jewish power structures over land rights and occupation threats.

Middle-to-lower economic classes serve (actually enslaved) to institutionalized predation on current global scale of untold, incalculable $trillions from a upper class fewer in number but greater in power.

The march of slavery goes on--just the "figures" change.

Jewish tribes slaves become to Egyptians, Syrians and Germans.

"Oil giants have “cornered the market” on Western Slope water rights, study says Updated at 1:11 PM

Source: Colorado Independent

Six energy companies with plans for large-scale oil shale development on the Western Slope, led by ExxonMobil and Shell, have “cornered the market” on water in northwestern Colorado.

The study by Boulder-based Western Resource Advocates concludes that the oil shale activity envisioned by energy companies and some state and federal lawmakers would consume as much water as the entire Denver metro area on an annual basis.

The report details more than 200 water rights held by the companies, totaling 7.2 million acre-feet in diversions and 2 million acre-feet in water storage rights in the

Not included in the WRA report is the bid by Shell to obtain extensive rights in the Yampa River basin, and other reports have concluded full-scale commercial oil shale production is not compatible with current and future water needs for sustained residential growth. The WRA study, though, is the first to detail the extent of energy company water rights.

You see what I mean?

Who you calling Monkey?

That was 500 million or so years ago.

My features are not up for discussion.

Spacial or Special? It's perspective meaning to be "a" or "e" might change one's perspective in this particular case.

Did you mean one over the other or was it intentionally scribed?

Missed your complex devolvery into confused obsession of fantasies unworthy of Dahmer or Bundy, but hours gone by are no excuse for your absence of affection.

Carry on--not here.

well, gay.

Now I've said it. Hand me the banana or missile, whichever drains the budget more and fits better.

"Rather: we're a country that, for the last decade, acquiesced meekly and quietly as our Government transferred huge amounts of national wealth to a tiny elite; launched a devastating war based on purely false pretenses; tortured, spied on us and literally claimed the right to invalidate law and the Constitution; and turned itself over to the highest bidders."

Sound, no-minced conclusions like this are why we read your blog

daily, Glenn.

We've said, read, and have come to the same awareness, but can only attempt express it so well.

To brighten your day--consider that's what BO and GWBush have in common--both are highly suspect of rigging the system to shut out the just outcome. Whether through the nomination process and onto a final determination--odds are with the rule changers and ballot stuffers.

That old cry--"Get over it" (post Gore's displacement) is never old and never sweet.

I'm still crying about what we lost since Dec.'00 and I ain't no bratty, toddler.

"...about Dick's decent into a kind of divine madness."

Maybe both (D. Cheney), though the divine part is more palpable from a Quaker than a Vader.

"Willfully ignorant use of the term as an epithet allows for a re-definable swath of potential (partial) solutions to be dismissed out of hand, despite the obvious contradictions* - it's infuriating....."

We're you describing the political right modus operandi by cloaking your words so well to state what nefarious instruments they use so aptly (call-them-socialist-mantra)?

"infuriating", tiring and so predictable. JTP meets Jane the Palin.

We're you describing...

WERE you describing...

Wasn't it "Tricky Dick" who pleaded on his knees before the Presidential portraits for divine instruction in view of Henry K. in the final days of guilt-ridden what-if?

My hasty associations are impugned, but my insights are divine.

"That won't happen until they feel threatened."

First--Insure that the nominations and elections will be valid.

Second--Vote

Third--Start fresh!

Thanks

"Oh, the joys and comforts of patience and rationality! Joe doesn't mention Congress's role in this, or Geithner's, or even the very minor fact, for instance, that the money that poured so freely into Congress's hands from AIG, Citicorp, and the rest has bought the deregulation that brought us to this precipice."

Imagine the comfort level enjoyed by all the players since the collapse of 2008-ongoing.

As the ever-changing stories, reports and who-is-doing-who pour in daily, the intense heat is dissipated away from the obvious villains who ride on their gilded steeds and lounge on their tax-haven beeches.

I hear them say to their colleagues, Cabinet members, Ceo's, and bonus gulpers-- "It sure is good to know everyone's confused about the faults and remedies. Now let's go out and leverage some more government bailout money--

We can't lose.
