Nineteenth century circus impresario P.T. Barnum would have gone broke against the likes of the low-cost ,one-man circus act incarnated by Michael Jackson. After a 12 year hiatus, Jackson will have a world wide concert tour that some predict will net the "entertainer" app. $400 million. Jackson is a dancer, singer, female impersonator and all around shape shifter.
Jackson looks like a white Diana Ross of the 1960s Supremes singing group. But I don't think Jacko will be singing the Supremes' hit "Baby Love". He was acquitted of a child molestation charge some years ago. I predict success for the tour since he will draw from the ample supply of the non-discriminating and the morally ambivalent.

Non Existing Home Sales Slide
Today the National Association Of Realtors reported their estimate of sales of non-existent homes. The sales were down 5.7% from January level . Actually there was an interesting aspect to the sales figures. Brokers commissions were off by 11.4% which indicated that they were sacrificing commissions to make deals. New non-existing home owners were cashing out of bad stock market investments because they had lost faith in the advice of their stock brokers and because of the Ponzi schemes.

News Release: Caterpillar World Cup Ad Features Bill Clinton
The Caterpillar Co. has signed former president Bill Clinton for an advertising spot during the upcoming soccer World Cup in South Africa in 2010. CAT figures there will be at least 2 billion real-time viewers of the game and the ad.
Briefly the ad will feature CAT's largest Waste Handling Tractor. It's known as the D10 TWH. It weighs in at 70 tons (144,000 lbs.) and has a 580 horsepower. The ad/skit will have a microphone between Bill and the D10. Bill's challange will be to get to the microphone and recite as many good deeds he did during his life. The operator of the tractor will be me. I will have a camera mounted on my construction helmet. The camera will have crosshairs aimed at his mouth. The camera will not have a deep-focus feature so if Bill wants to be recognized he will have to get very close.
Las Vegas bookmakers have published an even money bet that Bill can speak briefly enough to avoid being plowed under. It will be great fun. We all will see Bill either made into hamburger or suicidal with a loss of air time.

Mayor Newsom Has Plans For New Child
San Francisco's First Couple have announced they are in a family way. A spokesperson for Gavin and Jennifer Newsom made the public announcement.
In keeping with Gav's antisocial personality and refusing to be bound by the norms of convention, the Mayor's spokeperson held the briefing in a slum part of San Francisco called the Tenderloin at 2 AM early yesterday morning. Here is the announcement.
"Good morning. The Mayor and his wife want the voters of San Francisco and California to know that the couple will have a child. Jennifer and Gavin admit to an artificial insemination procedure . This was a compromise to leaders of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community who were consulted before the decision by Gavin and Jennifer to have a child. Gays were adamant that the impregnating be done artificially so the icon status of Gav The Liberator would remain intact. This lines up well with Greek mythologys Athena being the Warrior Virgin. The Mayor and his wife have signed a memorandum of understanding with the gay, lesbian,bisexual and transgender community that the child will be raised alternately by nannies and nannos and none of the above. Fondling will be encouraged as a sensitive exposure to other life styles. In a jesture to broaden his political base and reach out to other groups in San Franciscos community, Gavin has promised to include a breakfast with his child to random arrested people the night before although Gav and Jenn will not be there. The childs nursery will have blunted needles from the Citys needle exchange program so the child will know how to cope with a walk in one of the City's parks. The childs name will be New Age. The effort will try to keep the letters in the first name to under 17 but also incude enough references to multicultural voter base. And to sum up the prenatal announcement Gav and Jenn want all to know how grateful they are for the well wishes and that they are discussing a divorce. Thank you and good morning."

Change Of Fools
Aretha Franklin had her 1969 hit " Chain Of Fools". Now Preacher Obama has Change of Fools. Our government is fast becoming a mega church and trough for all spending monkeys and their wards to feast. Change? No there won't be any change left from the $787 billion spendathon bill. Only additional charges for interest will be left over. But it's already not enough.
The monkeys over on the Black Caucus branch of congress are already swinging mad. They put down their potato chips and huddled together to write a letter to Cash Cow Nancy Pelosi. They're concerned about a $1.1 billion provision in the bill dealing with "comparative effectiveness research". The money will fund an initial 15 federal bureaucrats to gather information on a doctors diagnosis, perscription and treatment. This will already add to the legions of attorneys with their predatory law suits who have been second guessing for years and we all have to pay higher medical bills as a result of their nuisance . The aim of the new government program is to cut unnecessary costs in health care by determining what's a better treatment to use. So the feds throw another $1.1 billion at the cost structure.
The letter reads." We are concerned that 'comparative effectiveness research' will be based on broad population averages that ignore the differences between patients". Notice the Black Caucus uses and hides behind the word "patients". It would have been more honest if the monkeys used the word "races" instead of "patients". But then the sentence would be a less than politically correct yet more honest " ....that ignore the differences between races".
HOW LONG WILL THIS CHARADE GO ON ?

Pope Reminds Of Neville Chamberlain
Pope Benedict XVI will visit Israel in the spring. He hopes to appease the Jewish elders who claim disrespectful treatment by newly reinstated Bishop Richard Williamson. Willaimson speculated publicly that only 600,000 Jews died in the Holocaust rather than the Jewish preferred and widely advertised number of 6,000,000.
Why quibble? Of course the greater number is plausible and probable when one considers that the Zionist met more than its equal in the German Nazi. Just look at the recent accomplishments of the Zionists. In their war of Palestinian genocide in Gaza the Israelis launched over 3,000 bombing raids, offshore shelling by the Israeli navy, artillery bombardment ,tanks and infantry raids against a largely unarmed civilian population. This resulted in 1300 Palestinian deaths , 5500 injured and untold infrastructure loss. This is all in addition to years of collective punishment and deprivation to 1.5 million Gazans in particular and 5 million dispossessed Palestinians in general.
The Pope should visit Gaza. The Palestinians are the ones who get no respect. The Pope acts more like Neville Chamberlain and Britain's "appeasement" of Hitler in the Munich Agreement of 1938. That agreement condoned the annexation of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. Now the Pope seemingly ignores Israel's barbarism and the annexation of Palestinian land by the Zionists in the interest of being politically correct.

Peace Negotiations Between Taliban, U.S. & Afghanistan
Last week representatives of the Taliban, U.S. and Afghani tribes had a round table discussion about the merits of a Taliban rule or a U.S. democracy as a government model for Afghanistan. Both the Taliban and the U.S. were trying to sell the Afghani rep on their own paradigm.
U.S. Rep. : Mr Afghani we want a democracy in Afghanistan.
Afghani Rep. : What will democracy bring and what will it cost me?
U.S. Rep. : First, we will stop bombing you. Second , democracy will bring law and order because we will send our lawyers to train your new lawyers. Thirdly we will show you how to share your wealth with people who don't work as hard as you do. The cost will be about 30% of your present daily income in cash to achieve both goals.
Afghani Rep. : I don't have cash. Can fruits and vegetables and my personal service be used in place of cash?
U.S. Rep. : No a democracy needs cash. We need the illusion of wealth and something that can be put in a sack in case the lawyers and pols have to leave town quickly and start a new democracy somewhere else.
Afghani Rep. : So I give real produce and get worthless paper in return.
Afghani Rep. : Mr. Taliban Rep. What do you want?
Taliban Rep. : All we ask is for you to let your hair grow, don't educate your women and for this we will cut you in on our drug business profits that lives off of the disenchantment of voters in democracies around the world.
Afghani Rep. : Where do I sign?

Grinning, Spending Monkeys Buy Huge Headline
The grinning, spending monkeys in Washington have achieved their professional goal of appearing to do good. The $828 billion stimulus bill has got them their headline. They have achieved the politicians refuge and safe postion of the many voting in favor so that no one individually will hang.
The pieces of the stimulus bill include $50 billion for a one time $250.00 payment to receivers of Social Security. What can be done with $250.00 ? Maybe one can see 2 professional sports events. Another $25 billion for a "worker credit" that puts a whopping $13.00 per week for 2 years into the pockets of taxpayers . So why do we need politicians to give us back our own money?
And then there's the "pork". Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has plans for a high speed rail from Los Angeles to Las Vegas that costs about $4 billion. Talk about a "bridge to nowhere", this train is for losers. "All aboard!" Maybe that's another use for the $250.00. How about "8 the hard way" ?
The stimulus headline crowded out the octuplet fiasco headline. That moron who had 8 additional children to add to the 6 that are hanging around already is certainly doing her part to stimulate demand and contribute to the growth of government spending. She should also contact Bill Gates. He regularly gives out money and help to Africans who routinely have 10 or more children who end up having an additional ten who have additional ten.....
CENTRAL PLANNING IS NOT THE ANSWER.

Propostion 8 Intolerance
Consider that most of the homosexuals one has met and disliked or didn't enjoy would have been equally evaluated if the homosexual were heterosexual. I.E. just because one is a homosexual, one's evaluation shouldn't have to be adjusted. If the homosexual is fragile, bitchy and quick to take offense like some heterosexuals then a fair response to both can be avoidance.
Consider eightmaps.com. It's the cyber equivalent of burning a cross on targeted groups lawn. Eightmaps.com was launched after the passage of California's Propostion 8 which forbade marriages between same sex couples. Eightmaps. com uses Google Maps of San Francisco, Utah and Orange County, CA to place arrows on the map along with the name, occupation, app. address and amount of money that was contributed by the targeted person for the passage of Prop 8. The obvious invitation to the map reader is to invite the reader to somehow respond to the targeted foe of homosexual marriage with some sort of appropriate or hateful counterattack. Boycotts, hateful emails and postal tricks have indeed followed from the launch of eightmaps.com.
Consider if some group got a hold of all the HIV/AIDS infected people in America and similarly flagged their name, address and occupation with Google Maps help? What do you think the homosexual community would do ? The bitches would take it to the streets.
Many of the backers of Prop 8 think once a generational change occurs in the U.S. the younger voters will pass same sex marriages. Think again. The qiuck spreading of HIV/AIDS infections may make the same sex marriage movement a one generation phenomenon.

Problem Attorneys : Final Solution
Ira Sorkin is a friend, investor and attorney for Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff. Sorkin presumably lost money with his investments in Madoff securities. But now Sorkin will defend Madoff against all criminal charges. I don't know what passes for normal friendship between shady consenting Jewish operators but they are still talking. Of course Ira is talking and Bernie is paying. Ira Sorkin is the quintessential form of attorney. Cheating and lying friends will not stop him from defending those same friends so they may delay or escape justice. There is one caveat: "Innocent until proven broke".
Here in San Francisco our Yellow Pages have 76 pages of attorneys ! There is no other professional category in the Yellow Pages that even comes close to that count. This fact begs the question," Are there any barriers to becoming an attorney?" The underlying fact that supports this legal infestation is the legal system rewards delay and by extension this includes rewarding lying and outright incompetence. No other professional pursuit rewards delay. Consequently the carrer attracts morally ambivalent people who can also be incompetent. One only needs an abundance of greed to succeed in the legal profession.
What's to be done to solve this predation? I'm intrigued by an old African rights of manhood ritual. This ritual happened before the European colonials and Bill Gates showed up. The custom was for young men to kill a lion with a spear ( my sympathy is with the lion). Then he would be considered a man worthy of respect from the tribe.
How about introducing a variation on that custom here in the U.S.? To wit, in the pursuit of real-time justice and to shed political correctness young men and women should be encouraged to slay attorneys with a weapon of choice to prove a break from childhood. Maybe a higher mark of ranking could be given if the slain lawyer was Jewish.

Money & Music & Bubbles
The spending monkeys in Congress in pursuit of reelection and mission creep passed the Federal Reserve Act Of 1913. The goal of the Act was "... to provide a ready reserve of liguid assets in case of financial panics". The term "liquid assets" was a clue to the intended or unintended consequences of the Act-I.E. BUBBLES FORM FROM LIQUIDS.
Interestingly in 1919 the song " I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" was composed by Jaan Kenbrown and John Kellette.
Partially, it went like this:
"Im forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams they fade and die"
In 1958 Stan Freberg composed a send-up of Lawrence Welk. The song was titled " Wunerful, Wunerful".
The song ended with this phrase:
"Help! Help! Wunerful,Wunerful
turn off the bubble machine. Help! Help!"
Monkeys shouldn't use money. It has the disastrous effect of multplying their greedy traits.

Dianne Feinstein: Bad Symbol For Obama Presidency
The estimates of the worldwide viewing audience for Barack Obama's inaguration range to 2 billion. And who's face will all those people see first? It will be the face of Senator Dianne Feinstein ,the senior senator of the eternal Zionists in our senate. It's no accident that the symbolism of a Zionist "Calling to Order" and giving a "welcoming speech" went to AIPAC/Israel poster girl. Israel and AIPAC want the world to know that Obama's administration will be in the embrace of these bigots.
The acrid smell of phosphorus vapors can still be smelled in Gaza after the deaths of app. 1300 Palestinian deaths and app. 8000 wounded and the caricature of a war torn urban scene delivered by our "ally"Israel. Yet Feinstein is the first face of America that the world will view.
Feinstein's remarks will be unremarkable. She's not charismatic nor engaging. She will be seen for what she is-the incarnation of AIPAC/Israel flipping the bird to the world and that includes us here at home.
If they ever go after Feinstein, I won't hide her.

Obama & The Lincoln Comparison
Why is Barack Obama trying to pass himself off as resembling Abraham Lincoln? Lincoln was the president who rejected "states rights" to the point of Civil War. The carnage of the war between the states in todays numbers would be over 6,000,000 total deaths in the Union and Confederate armies alone. The civilian deaths and wounded, loss of infrastructure, damage to private property and degredation to the environment was immensely untold.
Slavery was legal but on its way out. Morality aside, technology was close to making the business model of slavery uneconomic. The Civil War was an overeach by North and South. Does America really want another anarchistic-type president who will use the power of his office for yet MORE central planning and control? Will the majorities he enjoys in Congress insure more central planning is on the way? Consequently will the divisevness in American society only expand along "states rights" issues which include, education, health care and most importantly the legal paradigm that will prevail.
Why does Obama evoke Lincoln? Can't he stand on his own? Is he just playing a part? I 'm nervous.

Remember The Border Fence?
One of the legacies of the spending monkeys in Washington will be the environmentally disastrous and expensive U.S./Mexican border Fence. The 670 mile fence was constructed to halt the illegal immigration flow rather than simply enforcing existing laws concerning hiring illegals. Well with the U.S. unemployment rate heading north of 8% the el norte flow of Mexican illegals has slowed considerably and in fact a lot of the illegals are heading south/sur back to old Mexico.
So how can the conservative boondoggle fence project be made into a liberal spending monkey boondoggle project? How about retrofitting the wall with doors that only have handicapped handles and ramps that open on the north side? What about port o' potties and showers on the U.S. side? Custom agents asking, " Anything to declare AND is ther anything we can do for you before you leave?" If the illegals can't think of anything then a booklet can be provided with a departing benefits list. The book includes a right to a needle exchange; G.P.S. device; 50 rounds of cartridges; water; food ; army enlistment flyer with automatic citizenship; condoms; black orphans; "Joys Of Judiaism" book; Senator Barbara Boxer's private number - studs ONLY; the novella "Barbara Boxer : To Be Young, Hot And Jewish At The Domino Club In San Francisco In The 1970s"; an easy to inseminate a woman lifer on death row kit and the little advertised legal benefits to common law spouses that flow from that legal act; a switchblade knife guarenteed to be manufactured in Iran but operating manual is in Hebrew; etc.
PLEASE DON'T STEP ON DESERT TORTOISES WHEN WALKING THROUGH WALL DOOR.

New Sitcom: " The Jews Meet The Mother-In-Law"
Seinfeld's producers have quickly marked up a pilot script for a possible new TV sitcom. The working title is " The Jews Meet The Mother-In-Law". The theme song will be the 1961 hit " Mother-In-Law" by Ernie K-Doe. The story is based on the fact that Barack Obama's mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, will be moving into the White House. There she will confront and engage in" honest opinions" dialogue with the numerous cadre of Jews that surround the new president. It's all about race credentials and promises to be great fun. It will be like the 1970s hit sitcom Norman Lear's "All In The Family". Only Marian will be the bigoted African-American and Chief Of Staff Rahm Emmanuel will be the bigoted Jew.
Part of the pilots script has been leaked to the media and I got it. The scene opens in the White House. Mother-in-law Marian Robinson meets Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel outside the Oval Office.
Marian: Hey boy, where's my son-in-law?
Rahm: Shouldn't you be in uniform? There's someone at the door.
Marian: It's the Reverend Jeremiah Wright coming to call, Jew Boy. And you know what he thinks of your kind. I dated Jerry for a while and he got some of his opinions about people like you from me.
Rahm: Listen you tub of shit, don't you pull rank on me. My slave credentials are longer than yours.
Marian: And rightly so. You should be segregated and enslaved. We Africans were minding our business in OUR OWN COUNTRY when we were boarded on ships. What's that on your head?
Rahm: It's a yarmulke you ignorant cow. It's a head covering of distinction.
Marian: Why don't you Jews pay a little more and get a real hat like the fedora the Kingfish wore in "Amos 'n Andy"? The yami is just the remnants of fedora . The stuff that's cut out. Boy you people are cheap.
Rahm: Listen I have'nt the time to bicker. We both know why we are here. It's to get WASP's. So can't we work together?
Marian: I will think about it.
The picture fades out.

Marian: It's the Reverend Jeremiah Wright coming to call, Jew Boy. And you know what he thinks of your kind. I dated Jerry for a while and he got some of his opinions about people like you from me.
Rahm: Listen you tub of shit, don't you pull rank on me. My slave credentials are longer than yours.
Marian: And rightly so. You should be segregated and enslaved. We Africans were minding our business in OUR OWN COUNTRY when we were boarded on ships. What's that on your head?
Rahm: It's a yarmulke you ignorant cow. It's a head covering of distinction.
Marian: Why don't you Jews pay a little more and get a real hat like the fedora the Kingfish wore in "Amos 'n Andy"? The yami is just the remnants of fedora . The stuff that's cut out. Boy you people are cheap.
Rahm: Listen I have'nt the time to bicker. We both know why we are here. It's to get WASP's. So can't we work together?
Marian: I will think about it.
The picture fades out.

Why Do We Need Banks?
Today Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was pleading for more money. He said banks need more capital if the economy is to recover.
Why do we need banks? What's their value-added? Let them fail. They use other peoples assets and skim more than their fair share for themselves. So why not eliminate these bad managers and their stockholders who can't be trusted and let people be responsible for their own assets? I'm sure people can more carefully protect their assets than the over-paid predators that run our banks. Individuals can loan people money and collect interest just as easily as a bank can. And if they can't, then that's their own problem.
There is way too much financial linkage between people. By definition that linkage grows till it fails because of it's unwieldly size. Time for a new paradigm. I suggest a barter system. Let's get rid of the parasites like the greasers in government and Wall Street that script Bernanke's message.

Roland Burris & Al Franken Promise Heath Ledger National Holiday
BREAKING NEWS:
In what looks like a public relations coup to seat U.S. Senate aspirants Roland Burris from Illinois and Al Franken from Minnesota, both have agreed to introduce legislation for a Heath Ledger National Appreciation Day.
The pre-announcement has lit up Washington phone banks with gleeful calls from morons around the globe for the immediate swearing- in of the 2 politicians.

The Day After The "End Of Days"
According to the believers and vendors in all things related to "doomsday", the date will be December 21, 2012 @ 11:11 G.M.T. This date has been gleaned from disparit sources that include the Book Of Revelations, the Mayan Calander , predictions of Merlin and the Chinese philosophy I Ching.
A simpler explanation of the December date would be that the spookiest dates for these northern hemisphere inhabitants are the shortest and coldest days. And therefore any culture or race would become the most fearful during these times and speculate on the "end days". And so scientists will indeed find what they are looking for if they focus on the winter month. But suppose we all don't perish in about 3 years from now? What will we all do?
More relevantly speaking, suppose the rescue efforts of our self serving central planning politicians fails and our democratic way of government goes the way of the Dodo Bird? What we all do? Frankly I will play the cards I'm dealt. Grand economic schemes by thieving politicians and lobbyists shouldn't succeed anyway. I will take care of me and mine.

Obama Revisits Past For Future Plan
This is what Obama really said at a press conference yesterday:
O: " We are in an severe economic downturn. It was brought on by years of fiscal mismanagement. Simply we have been living beyond our means both in the private and public sectors."
Reporter: " What do you propose to do about this looming meltdown?"
O: " I am proposing to spend massive amounts of money that we don't have to jump start the economy so that we can have breathing room for fiscal responsible policies in the future."
Reporter: " Why not do fiscal responsible policies now so we can avoid making the same mistake again? For instance why don't you stop both wars and make across the board federal spending cuts now? "
O: " I promise to do what you suggest in my second term."
Reporter: " How will the planet redeem all the demands of the new money and debt? Are we not growing faster than forests right now?
O: " I will address that question in my second term."
Reporter: " I always thought that NOW was always a good time for fiscal responsibility."
O: " NOW spelled backwards is WON. I WON. I will determine when NOW is.

The Orphans From Gaza: The Next Jewish Holocaust
The 1978 movie " The Boys From Brazil" speculated on Nazi, Dr. Josef Mengele trying to clone an Adolf Hitler reincarnation. The goal was to start up a Fourth Reich and continue the Nazi's policies which included the genocide of all Jews.
That was fiction. But a fact is the kids from Gaza coming to a Jewish neighborhood near you in the not to distant future. They may be orphans or missing limbs or just traumatized by the Israeli genocide of Palestinians taking place in Gaza now. That's on top of the 40 year occupation and slow- motion genocide that the Zionists have been engaged.
Couple all that with the severe world-wide economic slow down, and Zionist infuenced governments around the globe-the U.S. now has 16 Jewish senators and 30 Reps in the House- and all the ingredients are in place for a revisiting of the run up to World War II.
This time let's get it right. Stay out of affairs that are not important to American security. Let the Zionists meet their personal destiny alone.

Condi Rice And The Watermelon Frappiano
Secretary Of State Condi Rice screams at her assistant, " No more watermelon frappianos till I finish with these calls. I'm determined to be assumed as being part of the Israeli/Palestinian cease fire when it happens. Hell the Israelis are running out of targets and I will be left out".
Condi stomps her size 10 foot. She shatters her 8th Ferragamo high heel. Simultaneously picking her ear and nose she dials George. He picks up the phone wrong way around and answers, " Hi Condi". He mostly always answers " Hi Condi" because she's mostly the only one that calls because George is the only one that takes her seriously.
Condi screams, "Switch the phone around". She continues, " George , how can I be seen to be part of the peace process?"
George blurts out an insight," Condi , you will have a tough time being seen because you are black and don't reflect light very well".
Condi slams down the phone and yells, " Get me a watermelon frappiano ASAP".

New Years Resolution: Insult And Shun Zionists
It's obvious to most people around the world and to some American citizens that U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East favors the Zionists/Israeli interests. So much so, that George Bush could be rightly called the "First Zionist President". This reality harms the U.S. An example is 9/11. In the interest of returning American foreign policy goals to an America- first philosophy, it is now necessry to have an American grassroots movement that is directed at the Zionists in the U.S. to make them feel unwanted and uncomfortable.
To that point, it should be a New Year resolution of concerned individuals to insult and avoid relationships with Zionists of all stripes. They will have to pay a humane price for freely roaming amongst civilized people. If the Zionists claim discrimination because of this philosophical discrimination then just reply, " Listen asshole, you Zionists are 100% of what's wrong with American foreign policy. And this grassroots blowback is initially targeting only 50% of your numbers. So in a very real sense you are benefiting from a postive affirmative action. That's more than you do for anyone else. Listen up and change your ways or we all will take it to the next level"

Hillary Clinton's State Within The Department Of State
Clinton hasn't been confirmed as Secretary Of State but she's out of the blocks and 50 yards down the track already with an unprecedented new, expensive and expansive scheme for running the State Deptarment.
She's picked a brace of Zionists or better put AIPAC assigned 2 of its own to help and/or lead her to Israeli- friendly U.S. foreign policy initiatives. Operative One is Jacob Lew and Operative Two is James Steinberg. The plan is for Lew to work Capitol Hill for the money needed for Hillary's visions. Steinberg will aid HRC in formulating policy with AIPAC's help. AIPAC and other major Jewish/Zionist organizations raised over $8 million to help pay down Hillary's presidential campaign debt. She still had to take a hit for over $ 12 million. Times are tough for the Zionists also.
Establishing a money raising ability along with policy initiatives is a first. It's like having a state within a state. Obama will find out why one doesn't deal with the Clintons. Hillary will be a source of controversy and a distraction.
So now with the U.S. headed into the deepest recession since the Great Depression, Hillary and AIPAC will be competing for scarce dollars for their odious plans while all the rest of America scrapes by. To hell with the outside world and particularly Israel. We have learned about other peoples of the world and their governments the hard way. Best to be just polite and stop sending checks. To that point, oil on the COMEX closed below $36.00 per barrel today. Sure the world wide slow down has a lot to do with its fall from $147.00 . But the prospects of the U.S. bombing Iran has diminished also. And that fear factor being removed also drove down oil. We need more diplomacy rather than saber rattling. The Zionists in the Pentagon and the State Department should be monitored. And if they start beating the drums of war then they should be rounded up and deported .

Dick Cheney's Revealing Comment
Yesterday on a Fox News interview Dick Cheney made an interesting comparison. He was defending the Bush Administration's war policies when he said, " If you think about what Abraham Lincoln did during the Civil War.... [he] went far beyond anything we've done in the global war on terror".
He's right. Lincoln was acting more like Saddam Hussein's treatment of the Shiites and Kurds in his over-the-top punishment and occupation of the American South. The Civil War was not justified nor was its barbaric prosecution.
John Wilkes Booth provided some but not off setting justice to that crime. Now there was an actor who could do more than just act.

2010 California's Governor Race: Romancing The Groin
Who wants to be California's next governor? Well Cal's favorite Jew, Senator Dianne Feinstein has decided to stay in Washington and help Israeli interests. No loss there. But her decision had an immediate effect on the prospects of 2 men who pass for white. Their names are the present California Attorney General Jerry Brown and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. The difference between these 2 pols is as thin as the width of toilet tissue. But fag-hag Gavin Newsom has a slight lead with the homosexual crowd in our state.
Well to marginalize that difference, Jerry Brown has decided not to defend the will of the people, who also pay his sorry ass, in the upcoming appeal by the homosexuals against Prop 8 which limited marriage to an actual man and woman. Brown claims an attack of "conscience" for his deriliction of duty. So now the race for Cal's governorship is a race to the groin or if you will who can be a better, quasi- dick-taster so that he may become a better, guasi-dicktator of California's future.
So the campaign could turn bizzarre. How about the candidates visiting the San Francisco General's HIV/AIDS wards to administer daily baths ? What about reliving closet episodes with potential voters? What about the candidates teaching the possibilities of an expanded sexual experience when they talk about homosexual activity to children in school? How about the candidates dismissing HIV/AIDS as a legitimate argument against homosexuality? Come on boys, "In for a penny in for a pound" let's get to the details of groin politics.

Stinko Politics And Culture : Future Look
Given the increasing rate of political corruption and spiraling down of U.S. culture , a future look of how these challenges will be handled is worth a little speculative fantasy. In the interest of continuity and recognition the names will remain the same but the time period will be some 20 years hence. And so...
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich appoints Caroline Kennedy to become Illinois' Senator. Immediately thereafter Blagojevich resigns his governorship and is appointed New York's Senator by Governor David Paterson. Ponzi-schemer Bernard Madoff surrenders to Elliott Spitzer who then is reappointed New York Attorney General by The New Jerusalem Times. Spitzer's first executive order is to drop all charges against Madoff who then becomes the Mayor of New Jerusalem which was formally known as Manhattan. Israel is now Palestine and former Israelis have all moved to New Jerusalem. Gentiles have formed a Hamas look- alike organization.
People can now have an uncensored view of Bill Clinton for 24/7 because of an attached webcam with a link to the internet. George Bush fell off the wagon and now wanders looking for cocktails of mass amnesia. Condi Rice does Colgate Dental Strips ads which demontrates how to fill a gap in a smile and stop being mistaken for Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Newman. President Obama governs from the center a.k.a. The Peoples And Families Republic Of Togetherness And Borrowing From , to wit the Federal Governments budget is now 75% of America's GDP with the remaining 25% being generated by Oprah Winfrey's Enterprises.
White people who do windows are in demand.

Ponzi Scheme Is Similar To Democracy Scheme
Ponzi Scheme :
An investment swindle in which high profits are promised from fictitous sources and early investors are paid off with funds raised from later ones.
Democracy Scheme:
A political/social swindle in which unearned rights are promised to early voters and sourced from earlier earners.
We are not all equal. We are known by our differences.

Real Journalistic Commentary In Baghdad
There is nothing like reporting the truth. Lies, distortions, slants, bias in reporting all fall short of the object of journalism which is to inform and by implication to deliver a kind of entertainment. And there is nothing more interesting than the truth. It always hangs together and is believable while being simple .
And so the lesser forms of expression which include poisoned op-ed pieces, political lampoon, satirical cartoon, no-confidence votes, negative polling results and losing elections pale along side the truthful drama of Baghdad reporter Muntander al-Zaidi. This past weekend in Baghdad he threw his 2 shoes at our coward-in-chief George Bush along with the appropiate description of the U.S. president who has caused the death and dislocation of millions of innocent Iraqis.
Unfortunately Bush ducked and we only have a symbolic attempt recorded for history on video. Next time real journalism makes its way on to the front page hopefully a more effective puncture and punctuating scene will be seen.

Oprah Winfrey Should Interview Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
Yesterday at Guantanamo Bay, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed pleaded guilty for himself and the other 4 imprisoned al-Qaeda operatives. He said, "We don't want to waste our time with [legal] motions. All of you are paid by the U.S. government and I'm not trusting any American."
It was a rare example of someone taking responsibility for his actions. And the responsibility will amount to an execution. This statement is unlike our overpaid weenie executives from the auto industry or Sam Zell of the bankrupt Chicago Tribune or Bush, Rice and Cheney for the Iraq War crimes or Senator Stevens of Alaska or John Thain of Merrill Lynch or John Mack of Morgan Stanley or Richard Fuld of Lehman and all the other countless "victims" in our weenie society. And that includes all those black dudes who are on Death Row for murder but blame a "racially prejudiced legal system" for their troubles.
Why doesn't Oprah Winfrey do a remote broadcast from Gtmo with Khalid? She could expose her fat, dumb and bored viewing audience to a real person. Redemption is supposed to be her mantra. What could be more honest than Khalid wanting a honest resolution to an ugly affair?

Chrysler Should Have Been Allowed To Fail
The shameless auto executives are back begging for more money. They remind of the young man pleading his case before his sceptical parents. "Please just give me one more chance. I will be home on time and I promise to fill up the gas tank this time."
The parents retort," But son you are a mature man now. Some of your classmates have started their own families and they own a home and own their own cars. When will you grow up? We have other obligations."
Former Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca made a sucessful plea for a government bailout some 30 years ago. And now Chrysler is back but this time with GM and Ford at the same table. Maybe if Chrysler was allowed to fail years ago, GM and Ford would have worked harder and the UAW would have learned a lesson that would have avoided todays mess?

Hillary Clinton: Wants To Be Bitch-Slapped?
Just when it looked like the white- trash Clintons and their trailer-park scandals would forever fade away, along comes a president-elect and bright negro to grant them yet more exposure on the world stage. Obama made a deal with the Clinton's to avoid conflict of interests with respect to Hillary's new job as Secretary of State. Yeah sure, it will be as effective as lobbyist and campaign finance reform. Of course money isn't everything. Bill will be more attractive and available now that his wife is out of town. Amy Winehouse is looking for kicks.
Speaking of kicks, I'm struck by the warm feelings that the truthful cameras offer up when Barack and Hillary are on stage. Could it be that Hillary has finally met a man she can rely on? Would a bitch-slap from Barack be welcome if she opens daylight between her ideas on policy and his?
The U.S. doesn't need more political soap operas in real-time that take the place for much needed meaningful foreign or domestic policies. Our politicians are overpaid and mostly are made up of the criminal class.

Confessions Of Citigroup's Robert Rubin
This past Saturdays edition of The Wall Street Journal had an interview with Citigroup's Senior Advisor and Board member Robert Rubin. I obtained an unredacted copy of the interview from a staff member.
WSJ: Good morning Mr.Rubin.
Rubin: My coffee and bagel are cold. Can you freshen them up?
WSJ: Certainly. Can I call you Bob?
Rubin: For now.
WSJ: Since 1999, when you were brought on board at Citigroup by former CEO Sandy Weill, you have pocketed over $200 million in salaries and stock options. During that same time Citigroup's stock has lost over 90% of its value and now teeters on bankruptcy.
Rubin: So?
WSJ: Don't you feel any guilt? Weren't you overpaid when all things are considered?
Rubin: Hey, nobody saw this problem coming.
WSJ: Exactly. That's my point. You got over $200 million in compensation but still classify yourself with all the other "nobodys"that didn't see the financial meltdown coming. So where's the value-added from you ?
Rubin: Are you anti-semitic?
WSJ: No.
Rubin: What are you up to?
WSJ: Isn't it true that Sandy Weill enlisted your help to drive out of office his co-Chair and 16 year veteran John Reed in 2000?
Rubin: Reed had thin skin. He had a thing about morals and cleanliness. He was a pushover.
WSJ: How did you help Weill get rid of this responsible man?
Rubin: Well off the record. When morals get in the way of money-making, morals go bye-bye. Anyway back to your question, during the week I would have a butt outside and wait for Reed's limo to pull up. Then I would call Sandy on the cell for the tricks da jour.
WSJ: And?
Rubin: Sometimes Weill would rush to Reeds privy and make a mess and not clean up. Or many times he would replace Reeds wife picture with Sandy's own wifes picture. She looks like Sandy in drag. She makes Greenspan's wife Andrea "Shrink Wrap" Mitchell look like Greta by comparison.
WSJ: Anything else?
Rubin: Yea. Hey where's my coffee and bagel?
WSJ: Hey Bob, go fuck yourself.
WSJ: Good morning Mr.Rubin.

WSJ: Exactly. That's my point. You got over $200 million in compensation but still classify yourself with all the other "nobodys"that didn't see the financial meltdown coming. So where's the value-added from you ?
Rubin: Are you anti-semitic?
WSJ: No.
Rubin: What are you up to?
WSJ: Isn't it true that Sandy Weill enlisted your help to drive out of office his co-Chair and 16 year veteran John Reed in 2000?
Rubin: Reed had thin skin. He had a thing about morals and cleanliness. He was a pushover.
WSJ: How did you help Weill get rid of this responsible man?
Rubin: Well off the record. When morals get in the way of money-making, morals go bye-bye. Anyway back to your question, during the week I would have a butt outside and wait for Reed's limo to pull up. Then I would call Sandy on the cell for the tricks da jour.
WSJ: And?
Rubin: Sometimes Weill would rush to Reeds privy and make a mess and not clean up. Or many times he would replace Reeds wife picture with Sandy's own wifes picture. She looks like Sandy in drag. She makes Greenspan's wife Andrea "Shrink Wrap" Mitchell look like Greta by comparison.
WSJ: Anything else?
Rubin: Yea. Hey where's my coffee and bagel?
WSJ: Hey Bob, go fuck yourself.

"Too Big To Fail ": Not True
When a politician says ," It's too big to fail", what he means is ," My part in the scheme of central planning has turned up another losing result that if allowed to fail will cost me and my fellow politicians our jobs. ". Like the communists, socialists and aristocracies of ancient history the U.S. has become a costly central planning nightmare.
" It's too big to fail" also means we are too lazy or too dumb to change. " Too big too fail" also means that money is the ultimate goal. And so today the Federal Reserve announced an additional $800 billion bailout and government guarentees . This is targeted to backing credit cards, student loans and toxic mortgage purchases. And how will the government pay for all this? The printing press will be smoking.
It's not that easy. The outcome will be a falling dollar and at some point hyperinflation will come around. The foreign buyers of our debt are already looking elsewhere.

Joe Biden's Replacement: Another Zionist In Senate
Vice President Joe Biden is being replaced in the Senate by Manahattan-born Jew, Edward Kaufman. Maybe it's not politically correct to bring up Kaufman's race but since this years election has been largely about race and gender then Kaufman's Jewishness is fair game. Delaware's Governor Ruth Ann Minner choose Kaufman at Biden's request.
Kaufman's presence raises the Jewish/Zionist population of the Senate to 15. That's 10 times the percentage number ( Jews are 1.5% of population) of Jews found in the wilds of America . Why are there some many Jews in the Senate ? Here's a quote from the 1906 "Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion", it goes "... the net which Israel is throwing over the globe of the earth is widening and spreading daily and the momentous prophecies of our holy books are at last to be realized.". Well this creeping infestation of Zionist influence certainly follows the "Protocols" plan. But maybe it's coincidence? Coincidence or not the U.S. gives life support to an Israeli policy of collective punishment and apartheid to 5 million Palestinians.
The Zionists think they are clever and succesful. But if this is so then why are there only 13 million Jews left in the world. Time for the "chosen people" to convert to a better religion or swear off excessive power and money as a life style.

Political Movie Fantasy Based On The "Alien"
In the final scenes of the 1979 scifi thriller "Alien", Ripley harpoons the alien and its attached tether neatly swings the beast into the furnace of the jet thrusters. The alien dies.
As our fantasy story opens, the players are on Air Force One. President Obama is increasingly drousy after drinking a specially prepared drink from his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He just got word that Vice president Joe Biden has been found dead in Fort Marcy Park. It was an apparent suicide. Also on the plane is Speaker Nancy Pelosi. As per the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 Nancy Pelosi would become president if anything happened to Obama. And if anything happened to Pelosi ,Hillary would become president. The camera does a close up of the glass. What was in that drink?
Pelosi suspects and is visably troubled by the sequence of improbable events happening when she's alone with Hillary Clinton at 35,000 feet. Pelosi asks Hillary, "What was in that drink?". Hillary turns slowly. Her face has a look that's menacing and threatening with a touch of gleefulness. Hillary speaks, " Now it's my turn". Pelosi panics reaches for a hidden gun and gut shoots Hillary. The anti-Christ pops out. It's the love-child of Hillary and a Cuban waiter. Hillary was somewhat surprised at the fetus. She looks mournfully at the dead child and then falls to the floor dead.
Pelosi slumps in a chair. She stares at the ceiling . She's exhausted. Suddenly she hears what sounds like a zipper. Someone is walking towards her in mincing steps. It's Bill Clinton. His trousers are around his ankles and they hobble his walk. Bill speaks, " Thanks for getting rid of my bitch. Will you make me Vice President or will you do something else for me?"
Nancy is speechless. The camera fades....

Citizen Buffett
Orson Welles' character Citizen Kane gives it up with his last word ," Rosebud". It was a reference to his boyhood sled and happier times. The "Rosebud" decal on the sled pointed to the promise of spring in the midst of winters gloom.
Warren Buffett's recent autobiography is titled "Snowball". It refers to the compounding of wealth through the dynamic of buying sound companies and never selling. This is Buffett's version of reflection on happier times now that he's nearer the end of his career. Eh!
Buffett has pledged his fortune to charities. Buffett will use his wealth to help many people who sadly shouldn't have been born. These people now suffer deprivation. They will be helped by a man who spent his whole life accumulating more than he needed.

Prediction: Obama Will Be A Weak, Naive President
Obama's vetting team of Hillary Clinton has been assured by Bill Clinton regarding a potential conflict of interest in his worldwide money raising schemes . Bill said , " I will do anything you want [to avoid a conflict of interest]to help Hillary become Secretary of State". And so you have Bill's word on it.
The perjured, rapist and impeached former president Bill Clinton has given his word. And Obama is set to accept it. I predict Obama will be a weak and naive president . He will be well-meaning, but he will be like Jimmy Carter . Federal government reform and "change" will be put off again.

Wild Horses Getting Second Chance
In the late 1700s the population of America was about 4,000,000. That was less than 1/2 the population of todays New York City alone. How things have changed. Now there are app. 300,000,000 of our complaing and overrated species living in the U.S. . Wild horses was one of the animals that we displaced in our infestation. Today there are app. 33,000 wild horses and burros in the wild. In addition there is an equal number in holding pens under the supervision of the Federal Bureau Of Land Management. Well the BLM is worried about the "costs" of keeping the penned herd. And so they are planning to kill app. 7,000 of the herd to get the bill down. Go to hell BLM. Sooner you die than the horses and burros if I had my way.
But Mrs. Madeleine Pickens, wife of oil speculator T.Boone Pickens is riding to the rescue. She is proposing to take all 33,000 horses and burros off the hands of the BLM and put them on a 1,000,000 acre range she now negotiating to buy. And the BLM has accepted her proposal. Now that is good news for a change.

Barack Obama: Looks Like Personal Nigger To Zionists & Clintons
When is "change"not change? Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery?
Well so far Obama's appontments to key postions, and they are by definition "key" because he's doing them immediately , looks like the Zionists and the Clinton wing of the democratic party are still running things. One is tempted to leap to the conclusion that Barack Obama is essentially the ultimate caricature of a "personal nigger" to these political power centers no matter the fact he is president elect.
To recap, Obama's Zionist and/or Clintonite choices for his inner circle includes 4 and most likely 5 with Hillary to be nominated to be Secretary Of State. Those 5 choices are of a possible total of 9 choices of postions that were filled. They include Rahm Emanuel- Zionist/Clintonite; Dennis Ross- Zionist/Clintonite; Mona Sutphen-Clintonite; Gregory Craig-Clintonite and of course Hillary Clinton who is also a rabid Zionist.
The marathon democratic nomination battle between Obama and Clinton was against the backdrop of the outsider against the classic insiders as exampled by Hillary. While in and out office the Clintons not only survived an impeachment but became rich in spite of it and a Monica Lewinsky "stained blue dress", Paula Jones, Jennifer Flowers and the other bimbos and the alledged raping of Juanita Broderick, Whitewater Scandals, mysterious suicide of Clinton Chief Of Staff Vince Foster and "accidental" death of Secretary Of Commerce Ron Brown , imprisonment of Clinton appointee Webster Hubbell, lucrative commodity "trading" and all the rest . The Clintons also managed to become the respected elders of the Democratic Party. These feats obviously left an impression on Obama. And so Barack wants an insurance policy for his Washington job.

Prop 8 :Homosexual Activists And Hate Crimes
Why do they call homosexuals gay? They can be as hateful as anyone else. For instance this passed Sunday in the San Francisco Bay Area, homosexual protesters verbally harassed Mormon church goers. The homosexuals were venting their hate on the Mormons who were among other diverse groups who voted for the successful passage of Propostion 8. That California state propostion limits marriage to only a man and a woman.
According to recent newspaper reports, homosexuals activists across the country are planning protests and civil disobedience because of the passage of Prop. 8. They liken their political cause to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. I don't think so. Codified segregation of the blacks was illegal. Whereas same sex marriage prohibition follows cultural norms recorded in documented history. Otherwise, " What's next?"
Hate crime legislation wasn't around in the 1960s. Hate crime fines and punishment exponentials didn't show up till the 1980s. So these civil disobedience and verbal harrassments and all that will follow can lead to hate crime super punishments for the rowdy and hateful homosexuals.

Halliburton & Citigroup: Poor Results For Their Greedy CEOs
Halliburton and Citigroup are stocks that symbolize the criminal greed of the past 8 years. Halliburton represents war for profits. Dick Cheney was its CEO before he was sworn in as Veep in 2001. Using his position of power and the life-long relationship he had with Secretary Of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Halliburton was awarded no-bid contracts in Afghanistan and in Iraq. I think the war in Iraq was largely for Halliburtons benefit along with other war for profit companies.
How did the stock do in these past 8 years ? Well Halliburton was trading at $19.00 when Cheney was sworn in and now the stock trades at $16.00. So after 4200 American lives, app. 1,500,000 Iraqi lives, 2,500,000 displaced Iraqis and app. $750,000,000,000 and counting in war expenditures and 2 or 3 adjustments to asshole Cheney's heart regulator the stock is down app. 16%. How stupid can some monkeys be?
And then there's Citigroup. Under the direction of former CEO Sanford Weill who took the reins in 1998 when the stock was trading at $25.00 Weill used his connections and money to repeal the Depression- era Glass-Steagall Act which mandated a seperation of stock brokers and insurance companies with banks. The Wall Street meltdown is directly traced to the repeal of this Depression-era firewall banking act. Citigroup's stock was trding at $25.00 when Weill slid in to power. Now Citigroup trdes at $ 8.50. That's almost 60% less in value.
A quiet retirement for these 2 assholes is not what they deserve.

Bye Bye General Motors And Ford ?
Today General Motors and Ford were both downgraded by Wall Street analysts to sell. Now they tell us ! The future looks like either bankruptcy or a government- assisted bailout which in either case would leave the existing shares worthless.
The Volkswagen Bug showed up on our shores in the 1950's and the Japanese invasion of cheap, economical- to- run cars joined VW. But GM, Ford and Chrysler didn't take the hint. They continued to build expensive gas guzzlers with high profit margins . They bribed Congress to keep miles-per-gallon requirements at a low threshold and even got the lawmakers to give tax incentives to buyers of trucks and SUVs.
My take on this tactic by Detroit was that the obligations to pay the inflated demands of the United Auto Workers necessitated the high-priced autos. Now this is not the way to meet the public's changing trends toward affordability in transportation choices. Detroit went down the wrong way on a one-way street.

Here's An Excellent Redistribution Of Wealth
The spending monkeys in Washington are looking for additional ways to stimulate the economy. With the constraints of astronomical deficits and the potential for a further collapse of the dollar, here's simple suggestion that already fits into the budget.
Whereas the federal government's budget share of the gross domestic product of $15 trillion is app. 20% at the $3 trillion figure,
Whereas conservative estimates of government employees pay and government spending is app. a multiple of 3 times what it could be done for in the real world economy,
Whereas a targeted economic stimulus is needed more in the hands of people who earn less than government employees,
Therefore all federal government expenditures should be reduced in favor of less costly private solutions including state and local governments who by definition will be relatively more accountable for cost efficient results.
Washington is the problem. The solution will necessarily exclude Washington.

Obama's Inner Circle : Two Too Many Zionists
" You are known by the company you keep".
President- elect Barack Obama's former pastor Jerimiah Wright didn't like the Zionist Jews or Israel. Yet Obama was a member of Wright's congregation for many, many years. Now Obama has chosen a prominent Zionist Jew, Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff. Emanuel also holds an Israeli citizenship. The pivotol postion handed to Emanuel stems from AIPAC and other Zionist influence. Emanuel is the gatekeeper for presidential appointment scheduling and is privy to policy discussions. It doesn't take much imagination to figure how a conniving Zionist can use that postion to further Israel's ability to shape Washington directives in the Middle East. And just in case Emanuel misses something, Obama has brought another Zionist on board. Dennis Ross will be Obama's senior advisor on the Mideast. Woe is us.
Hey Barack ," Who are you?". First you listened to Pastor Wright's anti-Israeli fiery talks and now you are hanging out with line-bred Zionist Jews. Could you be a very smooth con man? Say it ain't so.

Barack Obama Has A Loaded Gun
What's the difference between a loaded gun and a one- political- party control of government? Well the loaded gun can kill you. Whereas the single party control ruins you to the point of one wanting to kill themself or kill someone else. And so Obama has a political loaded gun in his hand.
Some of the bullets include wealth redistribution to the point of socialism . Or how about extreme trade protectionism to the point of trade breakdowns on a worldwide basis? What about an expansion of the Depatrment Of Education to finally preclude all new generations from a meaningful classical education? And certainly there are other nasty possibilities when the spending monkeys in congress have over $3 trillion in the budget to spend.
But maybe Obama will be prudent and govern from the center. America needs someone like that. The past 2 presidents included the educated moron Bill Clinton and the plain vanilla moron George W. Bush. We have to do better than that.

Motion Picture "Milk" & Sean Penn
The straight, white guy Sean Penn was in San Francisco last night. He was celebrating the world premiere of "Milk" at the Castro Theater. Penn played the part of the slain homosexual activist Harvey Milk. How straight is Penn? Well he actually married Madonna. Now that's gratitude . But it certainly wasn't customary. When Madonna finally caught her breath she divorced him and went on to bigger and better with the NBA. She also earned her own personal homosexual credentials along the way.
Mayor Newsom was there pressing the flesh. There was talk of maybe using a shirt sleeve to trick Newski into getting more than he bargained for. But best not to compromise Gav who is the"go to guy" when human evolution needs to be turned on its head.

Wall Street Journal: Out Of Touch
Sinclair Lewis' character Elmer Gantry said, " I know there is a god because I've met the devil". Which makes me think about the Wall Street Journal. First, the name misses. More acurately it should be titled the Wall Street Urinal because of its pissing on the "better angels" of our culture. For example , today the lead editorial cheers our former Yale cheerleader Bush for the U.S. commando strike inside Syria. Never mind that we are losing in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan let's double down and get in a hot war with Syria also.
I think the Urinal is out of touch. The old Wall Street mantra is that "war is good for business". That may be a fact if you win the war. But losing wars is not good for business.

Money For Mexico ?
Our very own insect/alien, Secretary of State Condi Rice just told Mexican Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa, " ...that the $400 million for Mexico's drug cartel wars is a priority with the United States". The American taxpayer money is for planes and police training. Planes, police training? Why can't the Mexicans fight the drug cartels hand to hand? They can work off their excess population and save us some bucks.
Mexico and a whole lot of other foreign aid parasites are going to learn how to live with less or no help from the U.S. .
CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

Stock Market & Money & Master & Slave
The stock market cries , " More money, I need more money". It writhes like an addict for more liquidity. The former masters of the printing press now become the slaves to the wanton consumer philosophy. The masters which include the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government are slaves themselves to the commercial greed of Wall Street and the wasteful ways of many of the electorate so they dutifully pass out more "free from responsibility" placebos. Get a life jerks.

How About a Slow And Local Nation?
Because it's the fate of the frivolous primate to relive unheeded history, how soon will the U.S. and the world reaquaint itself with the depths of another depression?
After the 1929 Crash and the subsequent 20% unemployment , the 1930 Smoot- Hawley Tariff Act was passed to create and save jobs for unemployed Americans. The Act raised tariffs on 20,000 imported goods. Business was against the legislation and over 1000 economists signed a petition urging President Herbert Hoover not to sign it. But he did and trade between the U.S. and others plunged 50% between 1930 and 1932 because other countries retaliated.
The prospects of a President Barack Obama pushing protectionism legislation through a rabid democratic Congress is certainly not farfetched. There are all kinds of policies that can kill jobs and exacerbate a financial downturn. Tax code and environmental policies attached to trade agreements can have the same effect as tariff increases. Of course a reduction in worldwide business activity would bring some benefits. The environment would have less destructive pressure put upon it. Also we here in America would have less melamine-laced pet and human food imported from the filthy Chinese.
A slow and local nation approach would bring relief from the dollar chase of of other peoples values.

Wall Street Debacle: A Madame Defarge Moment
Madame Defarge smugly knitted while the guillotine decapitated the French aristocracy in Dicken's " A Tale of Two Cities". Likewise some of us indulge in schadenfreude as the " masters of the universe" on Wall Street are dying from a thousand financial cuts from the falling Dow Jones Averages. The peers of Wall Street like the nobility of France are and were the bigger losers.

Paul Krugman & Nobel Prize : Money For Free
"What goes around comes around".
And so the example set by wasteful governments of spending money foolishly over the years has trickled down into the private sector. Take the recent example of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. They administer the Nobel Prize every year. This year the Nobel Prize for Economics and its $1.4 million cash prize was awarded to Paul Krugman of Princeton University and he is also a N.Y.T. columnist.
Mr.Krugman's acclaimed thesis dealt with the reasons why people like to choose from a diversity of products . And also what determines where a manufacturing plant should be built. Krugman wrote thousands of pages since this 1979 brainstorm was posited by him.
Pardon me Paul, but wouldn't this rhetorical question about a desire for choice be more to the point, " Why does the chicken cross the road ? ". And concerning the optimum location of manufacturing plants, you should just recall what Bonnie and Clyde said why they robbed [went to ] banks. " Because that's where the money is !".
And so the example set by wasteful governments of spending money foolishly over the years has trickled down into the private sector. Take the recent example of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. They administer the Nobel Prize every year. This year the Nobel Prize for Economics and its $1.4 million cash prize was awarded to Paul Krugman of Princeton University and he is also a N.Y.T. columnist.

Cultural, Financial & Poor Semantics Bottom?
One thing good about hitting bottom is that the next vector is assuredly up. Hopefully The U.S. and world financial meltdown will usher in a more sane use of laws, money and words.
A sane use of laws and words would include more regulation of the financial markets. This would offset the criminal provisions of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act Of 2000. The Act allowed the constructive legal-criminal swindle by Wall Street investment banks via the Acts provision that " specifically banned regulation of credit default swaps" and "over-the-counter energy trades and trading on electronic energy commodity markets". The notion that the Act and its verbiage orders no regulation is somehow legal and a worthy piece of regulation is an oxymoron on its face. This Act led largely to the collapse of Wall Street and $147.00 oil . It endangers economies worldwide. Words do matter. Laws do matter. Political correctness and the misnamed Commidity Futures Modernization Act lead to the wrong conclusions.
The financial mess is welcome in some ways. Certainly there will be less or no money for wars of choice. Social problems that perpetuate dependence will have to be cut back and Washington has been exposed as more part of the problem rather than the solution. We need more states rights with taxes and individual behavior being more of a local affair.

Mayor Bloomberg Wants More
One can take the kike out of his or her greedy culture in eastern Europe but one can't take the greedy culture out of the kike.
And so Mayor Bloomberg of New York City wants to roll back term limits in the City and spend a $100 million on another run for office. It's kind o' like he is reaching back for that expansive experience he felt at his bar mitzvah. Then he was told that he was a "son of divine law" and "chosen"for great things. Hey if laws have to be broken or ignored, Mike was on a "mission from god".
Mike needs peace more than another term as mayor. He should convert to another religion.

Lessons From Afghanistan
The U.S. has been bombing and losing in Afghanistan since 2002. The terrain and social structure of that country is too much for ham-fisted invaders. The Afghanis can arguably be called a pure libertarian- modeled society. They have no central government and the tribal structure is self reliant and is bound together for mutual self defense on a modular scheme. The country is the low cost example of an efficient society. Afghanistan is known as the "graveyard of empires". To its credit it has subdued the likes of Alexander The Great, Ghengis Khan, the British Empire, the Soviet Union and now is having its way with NATO and U.S. forces.
If America is to survive it will have to become more like Afghanistan .

Phoney Conservative Values
The poor conservatives are wringing their collective hands about the death of capitalism. The past weeks bailout and nationalization of greedy banks, brokerage houses and insurance companies are signs of the imminent demise of capiatlism as we know it in America.
The conservatives are pathetic. Where was their outrage when Lyndon Johnson launched the Great Society? That bundle of nonsense laws included the preposterous notion that all are equal and should have access to equal results in spite of the metaphysical truth that we are known by our differences and there are no guarantees about anything for anyone.
I'll tell you where the outrage was. It was stifled and exploited to money-making advantage. Deficit spending for costly social programs and wars of choice are great for business! But when the government starts nationalizing private enterprises and that threatens their phoney baloney jobs, well that something to scream about. Drop dead.

Palin & Biden "Love Israel": This Is Change ?
Last nights VP debate included only one issue which had unequivocal agreement. Sarah Palin remarked, "We both love Israel", following a similar declaration by Joe Biden.
What's to like? Well if that's what "change"still drags along, then there will be no "change" in policies that matter the most, namely peace and security for the U.S.. Because America doesn't have the military capability or the money to make the rogue state Israel acceptable among mostly civilized and mannered nations of the greater civilized world. The enclave of gangsters in the Jewish state should be ignored by the U.S. . The U.S. reponsibility for the Israeli ghetto only demonstrates an American low self esteem for its citizens. We are better than that.
When we get a candidate who promises, "I will ignore Israel", then there will be "change" in American politics.

Socrates & Rock Stars
The trial of Socrates in 399 B.C. began with this posted indictment:
" Socrates is guilty of refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state and introducing other new divinities. He is also guilty of corrupting the youth. The penalty demanded is death".
The "new divinties" that were the alledged corrupter of youth was his philosophy of questions. This included the questioning of authority which made the powers-that- be in Athens nervous. And so the indictment, the trial and the death of Socrates by drinking the poison hemlock. Now some 2500 years later, the present questioners of all authority take the form of members of all branches of our government, Wall Street manipulators and "rock stars".
No they are not going to drink hemlock as their punishment. But instead they will be bribed, well bonused or sell out stadiums. Somewhere in between the fates of noble Socrates and our present day trash should be the proper reward for questioning authority.

"Driver Carries No Money"
A very few delivery trucks still carry the warning, " Driver Carries No Money". Maybe it's because the illegal immigrant criminals can't read or speak English. Or maybe the hoodlums went through the public school system and didn't bother to learn to read. But because there was no money available there were no losses.
Can we learn a lesson that applies to our politicians and their Congress? It's their Congress because they as a group get more out of government than we outside of government do. The latest legal crime that our politicians are facilitating is the Wall Street bailout. Here we have Wall Street jackals making money on the way up and keeping what they made as their broken schemes and maipulations are transferred to the tax payers on the way down.
The lesson is this. First character is fate. And since our politicians start with little or no admirable character traits we are facing certain disappointment. But add the bad character to the oppotunities presented for self advancement by handling and being part of a $ 3 trillion budget process and one can see how we keep digging deeper holes as government gets larger. There is a direct ratio. And so the app. $ 1 trillion bailout will be handled by printing more money. Money represents the collective character of the issuing nation. Our falling dollar signals what our trading partners think of our character.
What's to be done? How about printing this sign on the halls of Congress, " Politician Carries No Money Only Opinions. All Money Matters Are Left To Individuals"?

Condi Rice Doesn't Get It
A Secretary Of State is nothing if not diplomatic. Which brings up our own Condi Rice's rudely chosen words directed at Russia yesterday. Referring to the Georgia/South Osettia war, our pickaninny promised, " Our [U.S.] strategic goal now is to make it clear to Russia's leaders that their choices are putting them on a one-way path to self imposed isolation and international irrelevance". Condi is predicting Russia has a one-way ticket to Palooka-Ville.
So Condi thinks the world can work around or without Russia being involved. Never mind the 13,000 nuclear warheads or the vast natural resources or the rich cultural heritage. Stanford University gave this woman a doctorate on Russian studies. Obviously Condi wasn't impressed with the Russian tutorial.
Rice reminds me of an observation by the 18th century Scottish philosopher David Hume. Hume was in correspondance with a friend who recently visted the Caribbean. The friend remarked how the darkies in Jamaica and other nations spoke perfect English . Hume some years later personally experienced the blacks in Jamaica. He came away with the conviction that the negroes were just reciting and copying white speech and culture like some parrot or Minah bird. They really didn't get it.
And so the philosopher accurately describes our blackbird.

Tzipi Livni: Peace Candidate?
Pity the poor Palestinians. Tzipi Livni, Israel's Foreign Minister looks to be the next Prime Minister. She will succeed Prime Minister Olmert as soon as she can form a coalition. She has been part of the "peace negotiations" with the Palestinians. Her Tzipi-code for "peace" turned into collective punishment for 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza and a ramped-up expansion of illegal Israeli settlements.
Her personal resume includes being a lawyer and a former member of Israel's Mossad secret service . No doubt her lack of a moral compass qualifies her for both professions. She is also the result of a Zionist line bred heritage. She can trace her heritage to members of Israel's Irgun a right-wing militia that has the blood of British and international peace keepers and Palestinians on their hands. She is being compared to the former female Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. She's the Brooklyn-born PM that brought on The Six Days War Of 1967 which is the second mistake. The first mistake was Israel's creation in 1947.
All in all Tzipi surpasses Hitler and the Nazi's definition of the undesirable Jew as indicated in the Nazi's Nuremberg Party Congress on September 15, 1935. Too bad that the Nazis lumped all the Jews together. Tzipi and Adolph were alike.

The Next Financial Shoe To Drop
Here's a quick tutorial on the root cause of the 1930's Great Depression since it increasingly looks like we will replay that whole episode in slow-motion. Sure the market crashed but the reason for the depression was the failure of the banks. The banks failed because they speculated in the stock market. E.G. Morgan Bank owned Morgan Stanley brokerage .Those speculations went south and people ran on the banks to withdraw deposits. The rest is history.
After the Crash and bank failures, legislation was passed that included the Bank Act of 1935 a.k.a. Glass Steagall. It prohibited banks from ever owning brokers or insurance companies. In 1999 , Glass Steagall was struck down. Banks then did the obvious and bought insurance companies and stock brokers. Also brokers bought insurance companies and banks.
" What could possibly go wrong?". Well first there was the failure of Bear Stearns which was bought by JP Morgan Chase and today Lehman Brothers went Chapter 11 and Bank Of America bought Merrill Lynch. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are in the wings looking for deep pocket partners i.e. some bank with fat deposits of unsuspecting civilians.
So we have gone full circle with banks now back in the brokerage business in spades. The next time the brokers fail they will take their respective bank owners with them. What's a civilian to do among these financial terrorists? First avoid any bank with a brokerage or insurance subsidiary. Limit all deposits to FDIC limits. Keep some cash at home and a weapon for protection.
Our society has resorted to money as the cure all and to that end we have printed literally bales of it. But like a house of cards, paper can't take much weight.

How To Build Personal Worth And Avoid Disappointment
Looks like Lehman Brothers will follow Bear Stearns into a shotgun merger. The buzz on Wall Street sounds like Merrill Lynch is next and then AIG and then Goldman Sachs and then.....
The effective tactic that turns these once blue chip stocks of the financial sector into a powdered form is the classic "bear raid". It's nothing new. It was around before the Crash of '29. It was used by Joe Kennedy and the very successful but suicide Jesse Livermore. Simply a group of speculators target a stock and then relentlessly sell it thus creating a panic in the financial markets till it spills over into the real world. And then it either goes bankrupt or is forced into an arranged merger. And members of the bear raid group profit from the collapse of the stock price . The "effective tactic" was the bear raid. But the fundamental reason that enabled the bear raid tactic to work was the questionable value of the underlying business of the targeted stock in the first place. It begs the question, "If these companies are so valuable, then how come they can be sold down so far?".
I.E. could a bear raid be successful if Wall Street operators tried to sell a $50.00 bag of groceries for $10.00? Or how successful could a manipulator be selling a gallon of gasoline for $1.50? Not successful because groceries and gasoline have intrinsic and recognizable value with a large market. Shares of Bear Stearns, Lehman, Merrill or whoever really when, push comes to shove, don't have intrinsic value. They operate on the "greater fool" theory. That's why the machinations of Wall Street bear raids acn be pulled off. Everyone kind of knows or suspects that Wall Street can't last .
If one is interested in building self worth and avoiding future disruptions then one should join with other like-minded, value-added individuals for a barter system . Then the group can freeze out grifters, politicians, Wall Street operators and all the other usual suspects.

Wall Street: Alternative Reality
This past Monday, Google Search picked up and published prominently a 2002 United Airlines filing for bankruptcy. The 2002 date was not printed. The source of the post was from a Florida newspaper that is affiliated with the Chicago Tribune. People who read the post and didn't give a second thought or know that UAL emerged from bankruptcy in 2006 sold shares. The stock plummeted from $12.00 to $3.00 before trading was halted. Many people lost much money before UAL was asked if the story was true. The story was true but it was 6 years old!
There is reality and there is Wall Street perception of reality. In the real world this past Monday , UAL planes continued to fly and reach their destination. This is despite the halted trading and price devestation. This is proof that the world can still function despite Wall Street seizing up. But our representaives in Washington and I use the term " representatives" loosely seem to think that Wall Street's interests are more important than the real worlds initerests. Witness oil and corn price manipulation, banking and security law failures etc.
We can function without a Wall Street and without a Washington.

"Hello Manhattan, Israel Calling"
Approximaely 50% of Wall Street investment banking management is Jewish. That doesn't make them necessarily Zionist but probably most think there should be a Jewish homeland which is the definition of a Zionist. Israel enjoys a unique U.S. tax code advantage. Donations to the Jewish state by American tax payers is deductable against U.S. income. The donations sent to Israel by these Wall Street operators neatly allows them to have it both ways.
Israel is an odd country. It's founding and nurturing depends on money and political influence from worldwide Jewry. If that is ever shut off or diminished ,Israel like some out of this world space station ,would suffer or cease to exist. And so the recent cataclysmic events on Wall Street and financial centers around the world threaten Israel's mother's milk so to speak i.e. money. The financial melt down may be a humane way to finally get Israel to pursue peace or disappear. Either way would be an improvement.

Here's A Quiz
How many Pakistani civilians have to be killed "accidentally" by U.S. and NATO forces before a significant portion of Pakistan joins the Taliban and Al Qaeda cause?
How many more Afghanis will target U.S. and NATO troops because of the deaths of their innocent citizens?
How many Sunnis will be killed in Anbar province now that the U.S. has turned over security to their historical adversary the Shiite dominated security forces and thus reigniting the Iraq civil war in that area?
How come the U.S. refused to take North Korea off the state-sponsored terror list as it promised which then caused the N.Koreans to stop dismantling a portion of their nuclear facilities which stopped the whole peace process?
How did it come about that Georgia chose now to shell South Ossetia and certainly invite a lethal response by the Russians? Also Cheney immediately rushed to Georgia with a billion dollar reimbursement for damages received and vows to SUPPORT Georgia.
Why are the missile shields in Czech and Poland which could threaten Russia in the headlines at this time?
Why hasn't the U.S. pushed the Israelis into the needed concessions for a two-state solution with the Palestinians?
Why does McCain and the republicans talk more about war than peace?
Are Bush and Cheney instigating world instability as a McCain et al vote- getter?
The coincidences of the above warmongering events are too many and too obvious to attribute to chance.

Sarah Palin Looks Better In Comparison
Criticism by definition springs from a comparison to a somewhat accepted standard. The criticism can eclipse the standard postively or negatively fall short. How does Palin compare with our recent standard of George Bush?
Pundits claim that Palin lacks experience. Oh. She achieved the governship of Alaska on her own. Bush needed the schemes and lies of Karl Rove for his Texas governorship. Then there are the connections of George I that brought George II the chance for a run at the presidency . Rove created "a palace of lies" in Bush's presidential run and the rest is history.
Palin wasn't an alcholic like Bush. She liked herself and won the title of Miss Alaska. Palin actually lives her Christian religion by bringing a Down's Syndrome baby into the world.(I think that is wrong) . Bush wears the mantle of the Evangelical Christians only for political purposes as per the Rove playbook. A true Christian doesn't authorize torture or believe in preemptive war.
Palin's understanding of foreign policy couldn't be worse than Bush. Bush just did what he was told by Cheney, the American Enterprise Institute and the fifth column Zionists led by Elliott Abrams. Abrams may write a book on how gullable Bush was after he leaves office. Why not? Bush can't help Israel anymore and Abrams could use the money. Bush was no value-added in foreign policy except as a puppet.
Hopefully Bush was a U.S. low point. He lowered the bar to the level that anyone would look better .

Cheney's Priorities Are As Miserable As He Is
Cheney will skip the Republican National Convention. He also wont be around for any assistance when Hurricane Gustav roars into sensitive areas of the Gulf of Mexico including New Orleans. He obviously learned nothing from the horrible PR that his administration got 3 years ago on their no show, no interest response to Katrina.
What's more important to this miserable SOB ? It looks like he wants to make sure the resumption of the Cold War with Russia does in fact proceed after the recent Georgia-Russia military engagement. He will extend U.S. reassurance to Georgia that America will help as much as possible. It kind of reminds me of a scene from the sci-fi movie "Alien". It's where the insect-like creature's gaping maw is viewed between Ripley's cats ears who is in a cat-carrying case. And the Cheney-like boss of the spaceships earth control center is ordering a live capture of the alien and a safe return to earth. Yeah, sure only the mission counts.
Cheney's malcontent attitude is nurtured by making as many people as possible as unhappy as he is. Hence his lifelong dedication to the military-industrial complex and its miserable products of death and destruction.

And the Cheney-like boss of the spaceships earth control center is ordering a live capture of the alien and a safe return to earth. Yeah, sure only the mission counts.
Cheney's malcontent attitude is nurtured by making as many people as possible as unhappy as he is. Hence his lifelong dedication to the military-industrial complex and its miserable products of death and destruction.

University Of California: Kind Of A Racket
Today, alledged abuses of overtime pay in the University of California's School System was carried in the San Francisco Chronicle. The article failed to point out the root cause of UC employee's cost problem. I.E. the UC system employs app. 250,000. Students attending the UC system only number app. 220,000. The students and employees must be bumping in to each other on the campus if they can ever find a parking place first.
Coincidently tonight , Turner Classic Movies is showing the classic film "On The Waterfront". The film is based on corrupt longshoreman union bosses that shakedown ship owners to hire more longshoremen than necessary to off load the docking ships.
The UC Board of Regents and their operatives are kind o' like those union bosses. The Regents shakedown the California tax payers and students to fund their quasi-racket of overpriced educational services.

Consider The Ear Of Corn
Is life getting too complicated? Is it too political? Are there too many people? I would say "Yes". Consider the collateral damage from all of the above to corn.
Corn comes beautifully husked with elegant silk styles inside for protection and also provides a decorative flair. It was picked off stalks that could be 10 feet tall in the quiet fields of what were the Great Plains. Corn is stored sunlight with all the nutrients that it could absorb from the earth and the moisture of past rains. It provides nutritional food for a later time. That's where we started.
But now it has become a commodity that Goldman Sachs and other greasers from Wall Street want to corner. They want to drive up the price so their managed accounts can have exorbitant profits. Some of those profits will help Goldman pay for its new 43 story building at 200 West Street in Mamhattan. The construction costs are app. $2.4 billion. What was affordable corn now affords "Guys n' Dolls" looking brokers inappropriate overpriced clothing.
Then there are the thieves in our Congress that want to use corn as a weapon against terrorists by mitigating the accumulation of petrodollars in the Mideast. Never mind that the corn-based ethanol costs more to produce than it can be sold for. The actual beneficiary of this boondoggle are the corn lobbys. How are you going to keep them down on the farm, once they know how to steal big time?
What's a body to do? Vote Libertarian, promote population REDUCTION and plant or share a garden.

Moderation As A Goal
Too much of anything is bad.
Too much credit led to home buyers having only to sign a contract to assume title to multi-hundreds of thousand dollar houses. Even the stock buyers that led to the Crash of '29 had to put down at least 10%. And so todays foreclosures and credit crunch are a direct result of criminally-loose credit requirements.
Too many laws lead to a forsaking of the spirit of laws to a following of the fine points of laws or what is not technically covered. Consider San Francisco's legal profession community . Attorneys in S.F. take up 42 pages of fine print in the Yellow Pages. In contrast there are only 6 pages of electricians. And what do we get for all this legal "protection" from these roving hyenas? We get a "sanctuary city" where young, illegal, criminal immigrants are are allowed to grow up shielded from federal law enforcement so they can commit adult crimes. A society can exist with a spirit of fair play but not with a conniving legal- law-breaking mentality.
Too much concentration on national defense leads seamlessly to a C.I.A. that foments trouble that leads to war on a proactive and preemptive base. Better to spend military money on infrastructure improvement. Less opportunity for mischief.
Moderate is better than too much.

Consider: Might The Russian Menace Be Not
The worried pundits are wringing their hands about the Russians and a start up of the Cold War. But Cheney, the American Enterprise Institute and the Neocons are rubbing their hands in gleeful anticipation of a start up of the Cold War- oppurtunity calls. And the American people just rub the fast food grease from their hands before they plug in, turn on and tune out with their electronic entertainment.
The Russian menace is thought to come in a variety of ways. But on second thought we may have already have faced far worse than the Russians cold inflict anew. For example, Russia could manipulate the oil markets. But hasn't Goldman Sachs and others already done that? At least Russia does have oil to sell whereas Goldman Sachs only sells snake oil.
Russia could sell surface-to-surface missles to Syria and disrupt the Zionists plans to nuke Syria at will. Hey anyone who can slow down the Zionazis can't be all bad. Russia might slow the U.S. imperial build up of foreign bases around the world. But that would free up resources for infrastructure here in the U.S. So that could be blessing in disguise.
But what about Venezuela, Hamas, Hezzbollah , Iran and Iraq? Don't we need Russia's help from those threats? How about keeping it simple? The U.S. should just preoccupy itself with domestic challenges and leave out "foreign entanglements". Then we wouldn't need Russia's help.

Afghanistan War : Consider The Inconvenient Truth
Bush, Cheney, the American Enterprise Institute, NATO and assorted empty-headed but full of hot air politicians around the globe all give lip service to the importance of winning the Afghanistan War. But the glaring fact is there are only 40,000 NATO troops battling a resurgent Taliban and many Afghanis who have taken up arms against NATO because of the many deaths of innocent civilians. To put that 40,000 number in perspective, there are app. 36,000 police in New York City.
We should leave Afghanistan. The app. 31,000,000 that live there had nothing to do with the 9/11 event save a relative tiny few. The country has become a feeding frenzy of military-industrial projects that are only a pretense to enrich a very few. We should be spending the money on our own infrastructure.

U.S.S. Boondoggle
A third Zumwalt-Class destroyer which is unwanted by the Navy will be built anyway. The reason, " To provide stability to the industrial base of Maine", according to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England. Even the spendthrift Navy reached a vomit point of too many destroyers. But politicians and employee/warmongers lobbied for the additional $ 5 billion ship. The cost of the ship is the cheapest part. The years of maintenance etc. are astronomical particularly when the U.S. has to borrow the money to pay for it.
What is the Navy going to do with the ship? In fifty or so years it will probably be sunk to provide real protection to our marine cousins. But in the meantime since al-Qaeda doesn't have a Navy, I have a suggested list of targets to recover some of the wasteful and belligerent military-industrial- complex philosophy.
Possible Target And Shell List:
A) Washington D.C. with particular emphasis on "K" Street which is home to the 40,000 registered lobbyists that steal morning, noon and night with the help of our elected reps.
B) In the interest of bringing back the fish stocks, every other fishing boat and if that doesn't work then repeat the shelling.
C) Illegal immigrants in boats without rescue operations.
D)The Clintons on sight.
E)Cheney's multiple dwellings with a Navy Seal mop-up.
F) Tel Aviv for its blame in the killing of 34 American crew members of the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967.
G)San Francisco's Mayor and Board Of Supervisors.
H) Condi Rice when she shows her tooth gap.
I) Bush I and II and the old bag matriarch.
J) Hoover Dam and Las Vegas
K) Rodeo Drive
L) Manhattan Kikes
This is only a partial list.

Will The Russians Control Bush, Cheney Better Than Congress?
"Nature hates a vacuum", is attributed to the Greek philospher Aristotle. The truth of a statement is proportional to its observable applications. Bad foreign or domestic policy bring on unintended negative consequences. Thus a vacuum of sound judgment will be filled out of thin air with a subsequent more appropriate judgment and/or action.
And so the vacuum of Congress as a counterweight to the Bush/Cheney administration has brought back the Cold War. Congress was missing in the Afghanistan overreaction which turned the whole country against the U.S. "liberators". Congress was complicit and more than helpful in the insane invasion of Iraq. Congress was silent when the Administration tore up one nuclear limitation treaty after another with the Russians. And so the Russians response to the U.S. funding of insurrection by Georgia is a massive retaliation.
So now we have a predictable Russian discipline that will be imposed on vacuums or gaps in bad U.S. foreign policy. I think we will all be more secure with that discipline/threat rather than with the bad judgment threat and lack of discipline of our Congress.

Cheney's Cold Heart And The Cold War
"An icy surface may contain the possibility of life." No it wasn't a discription of Dick Cheney. It was the latest analysis of Enceladus, Saturn's moon. It's surface temperature is -289 F. But Cheney could be a metaphor. The moron Bush is non compos mentis and can hardly distinguish between the Russian Georgia and our Georgia with the city of Atlanta.
No. The restart of the Cold War can be blamed on the Big Dick. Why the U.S. should care about the Georgian state to the extent of training and supplying Georgian troops can only be explained as a provocative eye-gouge to the Russian Bear. Our own Pelosi-Cow has not mooed caution about this dangerous project. For her, " impeachment is off the table" and that serves as a free pass for more mischief-making by the degenerates in Washington. Maybe a winter offensive in Russia? "Hey asshole what is your job?"
There is one thing about nuclear war casualties, at least 80% of the people wont be missed. But the flora and fauna deserve better.

Rare Consensus On African Americans
Yesterday Jack O' Connell , California Superintendant Of Public Instruction declared, "The education of African-American students has reached a crisis stage. Scores of that group remained well below [for years] those of White, Asian-American and Latino."
Mr. O'Connell makes it unanimous. He is joined by white supremacists, bigots and black demagogues and everyone in between. They all agree on this sorry fact. It's actually a rare example of consensus in America. But the reasons for that fact differs widely when one asks a supremacist or one asks a black demagogue. The former blames genetics while the latter blames everthing else but genetics.
But the opinions of the reasons are really beside the point. The question should be what do we do about the fact. Facts can't be ignored. Or better put, facts can be ignored but only at great risk. I think that people who can't learn or wont learn should lose privileges. In this case students who chronically fall behind and stay there should be expelled from school . Serious and capable students should not be distracted by students who just take up space or worse in the classroom. The expelled students can then seek work or break the law. That's their choice. But at least the classroom will be safe from their negative pollution.

Manhattan : Losing Freedoms Because of Israel
Manhattan may be harder to get around if NYPD's Operation Sentinel is put into place. Fox News is carrying the story that Operation Sentinel, if approved by the elders of the city, would include the photographing of all license plates of vehicles entering the city. Also a deployment of radiation detectors and an installation of thousands more surveillance cameras would be implemented. There is also a plan for movable roadblocks !
I'm sure some welcome the measures. But the potential for abuse by anyone who gets access to that data which will be stored indefinitely is obvious. And the question then is "What's next?". These steps are similar to the ones implemented by the Israeli occupiers of Palestine before they erected the apartheid wall. How about a wall around Manhattan? Walls would be better than roadblocks ?
The 9/11 event was partly about a failed U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. A particular part of that failure is the continued support of the illegal occupation of Palestine by the Israelis. So instead of fixing that part of our foreign policy we double down on that losing U.S./Israel relationship by having U.S. citizens suffer a loss of freedom and incur more discomfort with these proposed new "security" measures.
This loss of freedom of movement is just the latest discomfort that America endures for the failed state of Israel. Dump Israel and the U.S. will do a lot better in many ways.

San Francisco's Separate Evolution
San Francisco's enduring appeal and source of wealth comes from its limited geographical space, westerly winds from the nearby ocean and a moderate temperture. S.F.'s evolution is a metaphor for the unique experience of the Galapagos Islands. Both were removed from the norms of mainstream evolution and thus fostered a range of oddities. The Islands produced singular flora and fauna. The City produced a singular "culture".
There has been a rash of initiatives proposed by the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors. One proposal would bar the eating of trans fat. But if one wants to salivate on a fat transgender during the Gay Pride Parade, that's O.K. Another proposal is "no smoking in public." But if its mirajuana or you need a fresh needle for your heroin addiction the City will tell where to go. The latest proposal is to dispatch "garbage police" to make sure people know the difference between garbage and recycables. This is the city that promotes sodomy implying its preferance for garbage over new.
An older evolutionary step that has turned into a public misstep was the "santuary city" policy. Recently a City valued sanctuary citizen murdered a father and his 2 children over a traffic right of way dispute. It turns out the "sanctuary citizen" was an illegal immigrant felon who was released on a prior suspected felony without being reported to the Federal immigration authorities.
As long as the geographical facts remain in place and the flow of money that follows continues we can all look forward to more of the same. Except the fact that when someone or some City doesn't differentiate from hygienic and non-hygienic sexual practices a new evolutionary player enters the scene. One that kills-AIDS.

Anyone For Secession?
The 19th century English historian Lord Acton said, " Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
The power that has flowed to Washington along with the enormous muscle of fiat money has indeed produced freaks that run our government and those that wish to replace those freaks in their postions of administration. Certainly John McCain is a dumb as a post for "scorning a woman" in public. His juxtapostion of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton to Barack Obama demonstrates a bankrupty of serious ideas for governing. And what about Obama? As president will his feet be just a different kind of clay. McCain and Obama want Bush's job who is arguably the first moron to achieve such heights.
Lord Acton wrote a letter of condolance to General Robert E. Lee after the surrender of the Confederacy. Acton foresaw the coming corruption that all wealthy central governments bring. The South's loss was a loss of states rights which is the only foil against the monsters in central government.

Imagine Your Chinatown At Country Size
Most every metropolitan area has a "Chinatown". My own experience has been eating novel sometimes excellent food set in a filthy part of town. But to be accurate, Chinatown came before the filth.
And so it is with the curtain being drawn back on the filth of China which is host of the Beijing Olympics. Cars and factories had to be largely locked down to interrupt the smog-producing emissions that would literally cloud the observance of the competitions. Algae plumes on the sea had to be cleaned up by tens of thousands Chinese so boats would not be seized by the green organic product of sewage and agricultural waste. But not for long. After the last tourists hurry home the generation of pollution will begin again. This is all happening against a recent backdrop of earthqukes and flooding that have been exacerbated by shoddy buildings and tree-denuded mountains and the environmental sin of the ages called Three Gorges Dam.
There are 1.2 billion Chinese and not much else in China-one of the worlds oldest civilization. Trees, animals, fish, insects and plants are either gone or are teetering on leaving the smell and filth of the Chinese hoards. Where did all the flora and fauna go ? The Chinese ate 'em! A recent article on the menus of street vendors include: grasshoppers, sea horses, scorpions, lamb testicles, assorted roasted insects ad nauseam. Why even their show piece signature structure the "Birds Nest" reminds that the Chinese rob swallows of their nests and after minimum prepartion eat a soup with ingredients that include the droppings/leavings of the humble bird.
China is the worlds future if we populate the remaining areas of the earth with China-like densities. Frankly we need a virus . We need to have less Chinese in particular and people in general.

Senator Joe Lieberman Offers To Be Vice-President
Senator Joe Lieberman offered to be the veep for either McCain or Obama. Obama and McCain spokesman said, off-the- record, that the candidates reponded with a quick "NO". Because their own private polls indicated that Lieberman would be the voters first choice to be a human sacrifice in the interest of world peace.
Hell if they can crucify Jesus then what keeps Lieberman alive?

Criticism Of McCain: Elder Abuse?
Criticism of Senator John MCain could be considered "elder abuse" when it's put in the context of his fragile mental and frail physical state. But just because a young asshole grows older doen't mean that he's not an asshole still. Particularly if he wants to take his bad demeanor to the Oval Office he should be picked apart-often. It would be better for all of us if he fell apart now rather than when he's in office later.
P.S. Hey McCain we don't need any more off shore drilling for American conspicuous consumption habits. We already did a major one . It's called the Iraq war. It has caused too much environmental and human damage already.

Earth's Future: Hot Or Cold?
The good news is that earth will largely survive a warming but the bad news is it will largely die in the forthcoming freeze. The recent discovery of ice/water on Mars and the previous revelation of ice/water on Saturn and its moon point to a pattern of water, then life and then a freeze. The cold is brought on by the receding volcanism on the planets-our cores lose heat- coupled with the dimming heat/radiation of our sun -the sun is dying slowly-on the planets in the solar system. We started like Mercury and Venus became the Earth and ended like Mars and Saturn. Count on it.
