Original article: The buck stops where?

if this clown escapes ...

Could there possibly be a more disgusting, corrupt, incompetent, dishonorable psychopath who has 'served' TWO TERMS ("I'll retire to Bedlam!") as President of the United States!

Now his five-year-old attempt to LIE out of what HE knew to be false is clear to any objective view. The 'misinformation' was what he bullied out of the people who tried to tell him the truth.

I will be very disappointed in the US government if this clown escapes the justice which he should receive from the Hague Court!

'loneliness' at this time of year

For those who are among many who experience 'loneliness' during the Christmas stress test, I have words of encouragement for you.

This feeling may not be of loneliness? If you consider that this time of year abounds in conspicuous consumption, working to a frazzle to meet a manUNkind's outrageous demands to consume, as well as the omnipresent tyranny of 'virgin birth' and all of the other absurdities which are totally inconsistent with a healthy mind and against which the rational human mind rebels and recoils in ... loneliness?

The feeling which a lot of us experience this time of year requires recognizing that, unconsciously, the body is reacting as it should against any acceptance of these absurdities. The body is saying that Something Is Wrong Here. And what is wrong ISN'T YOU! Be comforted by the fact that you ARE perceiving this tyrannical encroachment into your life.

For further reinforcement against this annual frenzy against all decency, true spirituality and a healthy human mind, please see

Loneliness and the office temp with a bad attitude

With all due respect to the terminally Baptist, Jehovah's Witness, Mormon, Snake Handlers, Golden Calf Worshipers, or whatever other spiritually retarded brand of self-delusion who are cooperating in this assault on Reason (Thank you, Al Gore!) and on plain common decency, let me just say:

STOP THIS NONSENSE!

Because in addition to 'electing' this 'devout' Scion of a Bush for 8 exasperating and ruinous years of malfeasance, death and destruction, you are continuing your crusade against the human spirit and the human mind with your Virgin Birth obscenities! No wonder people feel 'loneliness', espeially at this spiritually insulting time of year!

Please come up to my high moral level ;-) and disabuse yourself of this suicide pact of bible literalists that is eating you alive. Open your eyes and ears to the idea that religion just may be YOUR worst enemy -- from this very seriously funny man:

time alone - really alone

oy vey has written:

"... you learn a lot about yourself if you spend time alone..."

and I think that probably all of can subscribe wholeheartedly to this. And a propos of this, I have a queston:

Have any others, after being in and around throngs of people and fitting in for long periods of time with all the expectations and self-imposed acceptances of world views and lockbox reaction patterns, it occurs to you and to you alone

that you are more than this and hear inside yourself the comforting little voice saying:

"Ah, THERE you are!"

Such moments are rare, and understandably a little unnerving,

but pure gold. Has this happened to others, or am I uniquely 'gifted'?

Original article: Blago's bold Burris move

ANYBODY can be ACCUSED of ANYTHING!

Does it still mean something in this country when we say that a person is presumed innocent UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!

ANYBODY can be ACCUSED of ANYTHING!

Hang in their Governor Blagojevich!

And just why was he being bugged?

Was this part of Bush's 'Bug Everybody' malfeasance!

Original article: Blago's bold Burris move

I hope the Europeans are somehow otherwise occupied

Let's see now:

1) Barbara's Inarticulate Conception is currently 'serving' out 8 years in the highest office in the land, despite lying us into a war that has cost the lives of more than 4000 of our soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives. All on the basis of his lies and bullying intelligence sources into swearing to this lies.

and

2) All this has been allowed to happen without BIC going to prison?!? And now all this lynch mob hatred toward the democratically elected (with no APPOINTMENT by SCOTUS, thank you!) governor of Illinois.

Is this country NUTS! I hope the Europeans are doing their homework, or are somehow otherwise occupied, and NOT paying attention to this insult to all decency which used to be the USA!

Brutal year. So help me God.

Yes, it was another brutal year for liberty. And from the things that Obama has been doing, and getting ready to do, this assault will surely continue.

An atheist group is demanding, in a show of common decency, that all references to 'God' be eliminated from the inauguration ceremonies -- including, what has become, the insult to all decencies, the Oath of Office.

The oath of office? The oath of office?

Is this the same one that Barbara's Inarticulate Conception mouthed in 2001 and again in 2005!

And look how that turned out: the torture president made a mockery of THE OATH. THAT 'man of God' killed 4000+ US soldiers with his lies and bullying his intelligence sources into swearing to his lies! And you want me to believe another 'So Help Me God'!?!

Bush calling The Constitution "just a G*d damned piece of paper" is NOT preserving or protecting or defending The Constitution.

Stop the Hypocrisy! Stop the lying! No more "God, God, God" in the inauguration! We MUST agree with the atheists on this one!
