Drift Away

Maybe us little handful of "dissallusionists" just need to fade away and forget about it. I recently spent a week without any outside noise. No newspapers, no telephone, no internet, no TV. I didn't miss a thing.

We were taught that the Ideals and Philosophies that we are mourning were something special. Maybe that's not true.

Maybe America WASN'T a special idea.

Maybe it was like COMMUNISM.

Doomed from inception because of a FOUNDATION OF FLAWED LOGIC.

Surprised?

Why this should surprise anyone is beyond me. We all know who McCain is, who supports him, and how his administration will be run.

The time for serious civil disobedience is drawing closer.

Oh No!

This is almost as bad as the dolphin erection complex. Holy Cow! What next?

What could be kinkier than this? And not just ANYONE walking in. NO. Another MOM.

Great name for a band.

Two chances

Massive turn-away of voters for whatever reason. Just like in Florida in 2000. Voter ID law in Georgia (among others) is a handy tool for such a campaign.

Also, purging names from Voter Rolls and other such games.

Rigged voting machines.

Second: Declare martial law for some (contrived?) reason. Send Blackwater cowboys down the street to do a big shoot-em-up in the Capitol. Who could stop them? The Capitol Police?

The way things are going with these stupid people, there could be mobs in the streets of Washington BEFORE (WELL BEFORE) November.

Right On....

There may be things about him that we DON'T know.

But there are things about McCain that we DO know.

I would vote for a complete stranger before I'd vote for ANY republican, especially a malleable KOOK like Bloody John.

Great Photo

Google the term "Lincoln Conspirators" - Then check out the images. You can't miss the one that I enjoy and hope to see again, only with the Mall as the setting.

Great Job!

Glenn, you are the man! Great work here. This sure has all the markings of a smoking gun.

For me, the biggest question is McCain's role. He needs to answer some questions too.

Not that what happened in the past isn't important, but my concern is that he is running for president and may have been a part of a deliberate government lie used as rationale for the invasion and occupation......!

Keep it up!

French History

Look up "Sicilian Vespers". Maybe this will give you a better understanding about why they advised us not to invade (and occupy) Iraq.

Fly Alaska

I would be willing to bet that the percentage of Alaska voters who also have pilot licenses would be among the highest in the nation, what with all the bush pilots up there.

So, maybe a little more "agressive" recruiting would be in order. Maybe with the "Oil Revenue Share Money" no one needs the extra income that National Guard service would bring.

Here's a solution: Someone we ALL know has an UNFINISHED OBLIGATION to our country. Someone who went to Montgomery and CUT AND RAN from his sworn oath (and contract) to serve.

Maybe HE could go up north and fly for her.

Fire with Fire

Did I not hear that the Kooks were planning a boycott of NBC sponsors?

Let's do the same thing. Someone identify the targets and let's get a national boycott going on those who are supporting this decision with their dollars.

That's the only thing I know to do.

Ten Commandments

The Republican Platform calls for the display of the Ten Commandments in "public places":

You are a self-described Christian. What does the Commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness" mean to you?

Strategy

He needs to use tomorrow's joint ceremony at Ground Zero to personally get in McCain's face. I'm talking finger jabbing in his face. Then when McCain takes his swing, he needs to kick his ass.

Portugal

I visited Portugal in 1972. I spent two weeks in the Algarve region. It was hard to find anyone who spoke English. I found the same condition in Spain.

HOWEVER - In Portugal they had made the decision to show the Television shows imported from the U.S. in the original English version with Portugese subtitles.

In Spain they made the decision to show the same material but over-dubbed with the Spanish language.

When I returned to the same places in the early 1990s, the results were stunning. All of the young people in Portugal were excellent with their English skills. In Spain, no such luck, few of the youth spoke English, and that was poor.

So don't sell the Portugese short. The results of their past decisions are obvious.

Oh Dear God

Save us from this stupid son of a bitch.

"Let's get things going again so people can borrow more money and continue to fuel our economy which is running on CONSUMER DEBT.

That is the gist of the problem: AN ECONOMY RUNNING ON CONSUMER DEBT, CHURNED BY GREEDY ASSHOLES ON WALL STREET.

GO TO HELL MISTER ASSHOLE PRESIDENT.

ROT IN MISERY..

FURTHER: What was NOT MENTIONED?

CREDIT CARD DEBT

Wait until that turd hits the fan......

We are doomed.
