Thank God.

Bit by bit all the evil and wrongdoing of the Bush The Lesser years will be repaired. Bolton was an absolute disgrace. Thank God the tide appears to be turning. The horror of 9/11/01 pales compared to Bush's cover up and epic misdeeds following that date.

Keyboard in one hand, crowbar in the other..?

It's unusual to see an intellectual attacked by a writer out of a clear blue sky. What's the agenda, here..?

Original article: North Beach forever

Lovely. But it's all in your head.

Things change. It's how life works. You *know* that, don't you..?

btw fuck Frisco in general. Overpriced, inbred, smug and the Niners stink.

Just a few helpful suggestions from a peasant...

1. We ***are*** the problem

2. We were wrong to invade

3. We were wrong to depose Hussein

4. We are wrong to remain in Iraq

5. We ought to get the fuck out of Iraq TODAY, regardless of what Israel wants.

If Dubya's really jonesing for a mid-eastern nation who's repeatedly ignored UN resolution, has WMDs and is actively expanding its never-declared borders, perhaps we ought to lube up and fuck Israel until we get our "regime change" nut off.

This is an Emperor's New Clothes situation. Fuck Israel. Fuck Israeli influence in the US Congress. We've been taken for a ride and now we have thousands and thousands of dead US soldiers to show for it. The Emperor is buck fucking naked, that's his weenie dangling in the breeze right there.

Get the fuck out of Iraq. Not next week, not a "measured drawdown," just get the fuck out of Iraq.

And when some unregistered agent of a foreign power comes scuttling to the door of your Congressman, tell them to smack them a good one right in the chops and slam then fucking door.

When does Belgium invade the US to effect 'regime change'..???

Or Canada, or Peru... hell, if the US can invade another country and depose its leader, why can't some other country do it to the US? Might do us some good.

Dubya locked up for life in some Zairian prison... sure. Maybe Panama will invade the US and take care of Dubya. Maybe Iraq will invade the US and return our favor to them.

The US is up to its knees in blood.

This is the kind of thinking that sees MS rolling out the "Zune"...

"...the most hated Democrat President since Roosevelt"

Is it just me or are the right-wingers not even trying anymore?

Imagine some poor sap having to push the Zune to get his or her pay check. Sad. I think this is what est training was about, self-brainwashing.

Mutilating any child is wrong

That would include male children too, I guess.

Original article: A hard rock

Overpriced and unimaginative

notorious DeBeers cartel that has driven diamond prices up much higher than their actual value

Exactly. If you've got a penis, you are being set up and scammed for an overpriced if pretty rock. Say, don't Orthodox Jews work in the mines to get the diamonds..? No..?

"She won't live forever. Why buy her a diamond?"

Save the money for your divorce. Buy her a Cubic Zirconia if you're dumb enough to get married in the first place.

Original article: Hell, let's call it a week

Two more years of this imbelic puppet..?!

So, when is Pelosi kicking off the housecleaning, anyway..? Are we out of Iraq yet..? Was the message sent a month ago not CRYSTAL CLEAR..????

What happened to that Hussein fella, anyway..?

He seemed to have a handle on things in Iraq... kept everybody in line Tito-style... what happened to him..? He could have been a useful asset... oh, we murdered his sons and then captured him in Tikrit (in a house, not in a "spider hole")..?

How is it that someone like me, Joe Suburbs, predicted dire trouble from a destabilized Iraq, while the President of the United States managed to drive the national Buick right into a bog..?

What a guy... thanks, Diebold!

Original article: The virtual John Kerry

Can the Democrats not field a real candidate..?

Listen: if you lost an election due to some really shady e-voting/Diebolding and didn't utter a peep in protest, and after you rolled over and played dead when some "Swift Boaters" were peeing on your shoe, I'd question not only your integrity but whether or not you were actually alive and respirating -- I mean, lead a fucking protest, something.

Look at Mexico -- when the brother-in-law of the winning (and I use the term loosely) candidate's e-voting software did what it was intended to do, people in Mexico were righteously pissed off and it showed. Here? Not a peep. No burning tires, no demonstrations. We're dead. We may as well be in a morgue with tags on our tootsies, our EKG is flat. E-voting? OK by me... sure.. whatever... can I have another Valium or Xantax or whatever the pill du jour is.

You know any Democrat is going to be a dishwater-for-blood loser anyway. They're not going to impeach Dumbya nor pull the hell out of Iraq. It's as though we have one party with two faces.

We could stand a REAL CHANGE, as in abolish the IRS and prosecute its inquisitors, abolish the Federal Reserve (a private bank!), and get Israel's tentacles surgically removed from the United States government. Israel is a FOREIGN COUNTRY, not the 51st state. We are being taken for a ride by Israel and we're too fucking stupid to even acknowledge the fact.

John Kerry? I'd sooner vote for Paris Hilton, she has more integrity and guts.

Hive mentality thrives in the military and religion

They're cut from the same bolt of moronic, superstitious cloth. Say, how do the goon squad boys reconcile that "shall not kill" stuff, anyway..?

1. It's wrong to kill

2. It's foolish to believe in organized religion

3. Religion is a personal experience

4. It's wrong to be stupid

5. It's wrong to participate in hive-like thinking (ie, the army)

A bare step away from the darkness of Nazi Germany

I was thinking about this story all day yesterday and it finally dawned on me that it smelled a lot like the creepy meetings and rallies held in Nazi Germany. This is half a step away from military types determining that God(tm) wanted them to seize the helm of the good old US of A. It's their destiny; they're on a mission from God(tm).

Something to consider. Stranger things have certainly happened.
