(P)Resident Evil or Forrest G.O.P."

George Dubya Bush also known as Forrest G.O.P. and sometimes President Evil continues to impose his idiotic ideology on America and the world in spite of and perhaps because of the great damage it does. Is Bush really an inept, oblivious idiot as he is so often depicted? Or, is he a pretty smart guy so blind to his own fallibility that he never would admit to any mistakes, never mind to atone for them? At the same time, is he so arrogant and stubborn that his flawed pernicious policies and insidious agendae must be imposed in his way regardless of who are what is harmed? Even if at the price of the complete ruination of this country, its economy and the environment? Thankfully, Bush has only 8 years of opportunity to devastate this country and the world. It is up to the voting public if his successor, whether Democrat, Republican, or Independent will be a force of positive outcomes or negative consequences like Bush has mostly been for the last six or so years.

Red State, Blue State

In this country, liberals are condemned for wanting to make the world a better place; while, in many cases conservatives are praised to the stratosphere for making the world a worse place. Under this administration there is a war of lies mostly fought by the poor. As usual, the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer or nowhere at all. Survivors of disasters in New Orleans are pretty much on their own or SOL. Ditto with anyone who wants to better themselves but who doesn't have the money or resources to do so. Also, mortgage weasels continue to prey on vulnerable people destined to lose their home and little or nothing is being done about it. That is, except another taxpayer funded bailout. Under Bush, most of us are up the old creek of effluent without a paddle. If you're not outraged and frustrated you're not paying atention. If you're religious pray for better future leadership, while the Bush/Ceney cabal continues to prey on our economy, our environment and our fears.

Romney vs. (S)Hrillery?

For better or for worst, the next presidential runoff may come down to the influence of money (Mitt Romney) and nepotism (SHrillery Rodham Clinton). Another election with the Lesser or the the Greater of Two Evils vying to be the Leader of a Less Free World after all the damage Bush will have done to the country after he leaves on or around January 9, 2009. After enduring romney's reign as governor of my state first full time and gradually little or not at all I certainly do not want him to ever become President, especially since he seems to share much of Dubya Bush's insidious and pernicious ideology on the war, social issues, etc. Plus he appears to have little or no regard for the poor and less fortunate in this country.
On the other hand, SHrillery Clinton is not a heck of a lot better. If she's nominated I'll most likely reluctantly support her, but her shrill voice and her support of the U.S.A Patriot ACT, among other things makes her less than my favorite choice of Democrats. Also, many Republicans despise her and everything she stands for, so she may be more of a liability than an asset if she is to be our nominee. In my view she is a better choice than any Republican nominee, but that ain't saying much. Hopefully who ever wins will stop this foolish war of lies and learn to balance freedom and American rights with security, rather than taking away our hard-won freedoms.

Good Riddance to Rove

After six years of misrule, "Bush's Brain" aka Karl Rove is resigning or retiring as George Dubya Bush's advisor. Rove is responsible for all sorts of shenanigans done by and bahalf of the George W. Bush administration. It seems there was nothing Rove would not stoop to to further his candidates he supported and his political party, the G.O.P. Diabolically deceptive people like Rove ought be jailed before they think of retiring. I say Karl Rove has done to politics what Don King has done to boxing, a big negative taint which won't likely be forgiven or forgotten any time soon. Hasta la vista Rove! Goodbye and Good Riddance. As my late father used to say, "May your sins find you out." And may karma curse you 'til your final breath. You have perpetrated the ruination of this country, its Constitution and our Bill of Rights.
Chinese Olympics: The International Olympics Committee made a colossal blunder in awarding the 2008 Olympics to blatant Human Rights violator and Tianaman Square massacre deniers China. It is bad enough how China mistreats its own people, but homes are being razed to make way for space for the upcoming games (a ruthless version of Eminent Domain), and acccording to a recent news article toilers are being worked to the bone for long hours for little and sometimes no pay at all. I wouldn't put it past the Chinese government to use prison slave labor for Olympian projects. If there was any justice the brutal Chinese government would either never have been awarded the Olympics in the first place or the offer should be rescinded.

Anti-Bush Poetry, Part 3

Are we prepared for Disaster? Bush is still there. Impeach him! Faster. Faster. / Though I'm sure He thinks he's the Master...

'Electing' George Dubya Bush had an exorbitant price/ what he's doing to the country isn't so nice.../ Thank God he won't be there (in the White House) thrice./ Pre-Emptive War was thought of by Ms. Rice./ VP Cheney epitomizes vice...

"Blue State Proud": We're Blue State Proud./Let's form a Crowd/ and Yell Real Loud/ 'til Bush Is Out Of Office/ May Karl Rove's Skin Metastisize In Each And Every Orifice.
They're Red State Loud./They're so Damned Proud/ for Voting For That Jerk. [G.W. Bush]/When all Good Jobs Are Outsourced What will they all do for work?/ Thanks to Dubya's Budget Cuts We can't go back to School...(tbc?)If you still support him you must be a fool...

American Stasy? Part 1

Last year's Best Foreign Film Oscar went to "The Lives Of Others", a chilling tale about how the Stasy (pronounced Stahzee), the Orwellian East German Secret Police would spy on everyone behind the Berlin Wall with audio and other kinds of sophisticated (at the time) surveillance, often ruining lives and sometimes leading to innocent people being detained or driven to suicide. This went on until the Berlin Wall came down and East and West Germany were reunited some time in the late eighties or early nineties.
Nearly twenty years later the Dubya Bush administration opens mail, eavesdrops on telephone calls, and voyeuristically checks on E-mail correspondence, in the name of phony national security. Perhaps this has been going on for years, including the chilling "See something. Say something." mantra seemingly lifted from "1984". It is bad enough that Bush's minions have blatantly been spying on American's since about the last six years, but now Congress, including many Democrats have given in to granting Bush the power to do what he was doing against the law and against the Constitution. Shame on them.
