One wants to finger a single person, to contain the horror, but Bush is due to Bush voters and there are tens of millions of them...and so few have repented their nation-crippling sins.

How are her screeds about Clinton and Obama any less loathsome than Ann Coulter's typical slumgullion? To paraphrase Churchill, every word they both write subtracts from the sum total of human knowledge.

How, in the name of common sense, could he have been so totally unaware that what he was saying was contradictory to his actions? Is he blind? Unfeeling? Indifferent? Please tell me he isn't that stupid!

You reality-baser you!

In regards to anonymous posting.

People raised a huge stink over anonymous postings. Maybe that issue is dead.

What I'd like is a way to 'ignore' certain people's posts in the comments threads. I don't need to read someone's brain vomit when I'm trying to understand what others are thinking. Save me from it... That's my opinion...

Why does Glenn's area get so much crap? Don't people have better things to do?

I really can't stand it when you are can put a name to the vomit. That makes it particularly difficult for me. Nice and pretty names shouldn't vomit in public, unless anonymously.

Blech!

Enough of this two-party rule, wherein the party that sweeps up the most money wins. Why can't we have a Parliament?

I didn't have much time for the party yesterday, but those posts were lots of fun. My final entry, while we are stringing extra syllables together in the vein of RMP and ondelette (and a riff on Disney):

Glenn,

What you see as ironic, I see as part of a strategy of public brainwashing. By giving repeated lip-service to the principles of the Constitution, Bush gives himself unlimited freedom to violate those principles. The man is a pathologic liar. He is more comfortable lying, with skilled false-sincerity, than he is in telling the truth.

The notion of creating paradoxical thought memes which pacify the public's need for reassurance (Clear Skies Initiative, Help America Vote Act, Conservative Fiscal Discipline, Global War on Terror, etc.) is a central tool in the neocon strategy. Without Bush being taken to task on his deception because of lapdog corpotate media, and shamefully complicit corporate republicans and democrats, there is no other story for people to hear.

A diminishing portion of the American public follows hypnotically behind the piper as he leads us all to our destruction.

Some people at sixty seem like my favorite youngsters. Post war, a old janitor Lady was a old friend. She made the best mashed potatoes, and I could stop by for tea any time of the day. She's splatter a white plate with white taters and joke, "Where's the mashed potatoes?"

I'd say, "Where do you keep the Spoon Ladle so I can make a pool. You want two spoons of brown gravy or three, and then you'll have a mud puddle to see."

A butcher took my fibula. He extracted it while I was awake.

I was paralyzed from the waste down while he yanked, pulled, and cut me up a foot-long-wide, by three inch wide. ouch.

I wanted the fib for a Saint Nick pipe. He was a butcher fib extractor. O, if there is ever a Next Time?

I'll use a sting and doorknob!

I'll sing ho ho ho, the devil will sent the neocon joker-butchers to hell. Do unto others and watch it come back round full-circle to them. THEM!.

Do I believe in reincarnation or karmic Laws? Well,..

If a bloke agrees to send me to a Earth at this "heyday" Saturday- What a "louse" sense of humor.

It's a damn goody idea I'm non-violent.

I must have been drunk to agree to be here, once.

But no, I'd agree again? However, I'd have to be filled with good ale and French fried string beans.

Plato said in 'Laws' v11, 807 e 808 d; On condemnations!

On legislation of natural laws- it's a greater crime to remain an habitual excessive creep sleeper, than an excessive ale drinker.

I hope you write more.

In Canada, a 92- year old half-blind friend of mine sat in a Lighthouse,

gads...Oh, Ah!

for 40 years.

What a meditation.

You got me thinking.

And I'm being watched.

One day I'll die of old age.

Thank somebody it's an adult-watch me day here. I get to hear secrets. At Christmas I'll get some turkey, and it was only yesterday the aster bunny gave out chocolate. Saint Nicolas will give me and everybody presents

It's a day to sing like Billy Holiday, bird crows, Cinderella, Snow White, and let's not forget the 7- elf's. It is a day that's cold and grey but, and we can still imitate Angelina the mermaid. I'll dance a can-can with Angelina the ballerina.

Some of the day will be spent fixing a stovepipe, and unstuck a black damper flue.

Stack firewood too.

A Red Hawk squawks.

Pick hardy greens.

Alleluias.

A secret.

A Listen.

Bush, it appears is letting us know that any Future plan of aggression whether it be Iran or any other Nation will be his decision alone forget about Congress. These are very frightening times we live in, they really are.

Bebop, you must’ve had good rest cuz your brain is really flowing. Here’s a NYT Sunday Book Review on two new books with opposing views on what our president has done or not done to us.

All the President’s Powers By EMILY BAZELON

NYT, Published: November 18, 2007

As the Bush administration enters its final year, how fares its effort to remake the law for the benefit of the presidency? With the resignation of Alberto Gonzales, the withdrawal of the infamous 2002 torture memos and setbacks at the Supreme Court in the Guantánamo cases, executive supremacy no longer reigns entirely supreme. At the same time, it hasn’t been dethroned either: witness the recent revelations about further Justice Department memos that permit forms of torture, written in 2005 and still in place. And then there’s the testimony of Michael Mukasey, George W. Bush’s choice for attorney general, who surprised the Senate by unabashedly promoting the president’s authority to act outside statutory boundaries in sensitive areas like wiretapping and by refusing to renounce waterboarding. The salient question of the moment, then, is about Bush’s legal legacy. After his tenure, what will come of the changes his lawyers have wrought, especially their attempts to expand executive power?

Two new books offer contrasting answers. Charlie Savage, the author of “Takeover,” depicts a presidency on steroids, pumped up by Vice President Dick Cheney. For decades, Savage argues, Cheney has “wanted to permanently alter the constitutional balance of American government, establishing powers that future presidents would be able to wield as well.” And because presidential power once accrued generally sticks, Cheney is likely to get his wish. In “The Genius of America,” Eric Lane and Michael Oreskes also rue the increase of presidential power at Congress’s expense. But they think our system of government can recover, if only we can remember and keep faith with the crucial accomplishments of the Constitution’s framers. Viewed through this lens, Bush’s lawyers seem smaller and their influence less enduring.
