John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

The increasingly petty and ugly attacks on Barack Obama by a desperate, dying movement are a microcosm of the last eight years.

    The Grizzly reality & the Bear Market

    In the last week or so the Penatagon passed & George Bush signed over $630 billion more for the Pentagon to spend. The United States of America spends more on its military than all of the rest of the world put together. Ever wonder, what for? And that extra dump while the US is sinking into what may well be a great depression. America is full of wars inside & out. Drug Wars that every citizen is in or ignores but still has to live with sharps lying around in the park. Wars about sexual orientation. On one hand it's ok to be gay but don't mention HIV/Aids in the same breath. But this War in Iraq that John McCain wants to win is a war without honour. It is an oil war masquerading as catch & kill the terrorist if you can. It is greasy, obscene, overflowing with profiteering & blatant outsourcing to shadowy operatives, contractors & orchestrated by the fat old backroom boy who when challenged gave no explanation, just the dismissive expletive, 'go fark yourself!' What honour is there in that? Should John McCain & cute Sarah the Moose shooter gain office he will have to follow that whole grizzly bear agenda whether he likes it or not because George has already dropped a heavy deposit on that. All the while the world continues to consume bullshit & the market like old Mother Hubbard’s cupboard will be bare for years. God bless America.
