Mike's Blog Round Up
When he's not crying on the House floor, Minority Leader John Boehner is leaking classified national security information.
When he's not praising Strom Thurmond or electrocuting goats, House Minority Whip Trent Lott is hyping terror threats and telling Washingtonians it "would be good to leave town in August."
When he's not contradicting Dick Cheney on the Edelman letter to Hillary Clinton claiming she "reinforces enemy propaganda," Robert Gates is contradicting President Bush on progress in Iraq.
When he's not applauding Hezbollah's health care system in Lebanon, Mitt Romney is getting beaten up by a New Hampshire waitress over his health care plan for America.
When he's not on vacation, President Bush gets Senate Democrats to cave on his FISA bill before they go on vacation.
When she's not advocating abstinence programs to fight AIDS in Africa, Laura Bush should be learning they don't work here at home.
The Round Up was guest-blogged this past week by Jon Perr from Perrspectives.
Dang, A lot of "nots" n stuff. My country's politicians suck.
And when the Dems are saying they are going to leash in Bush Co, they turn right around and give him everything he wants.
Lets be realistic here.

Maybe they know something we don't.
Did you happen to catch Jim Cramer's near melt-down on national TV as the market collapsed on Friday afternoon?

If Trent Lott thinks people should get out of Washington because there is some chance that there will be a terrorist incident in Washington he had best lay out his grounds for believing this to be so. It makes it a little awkward to criticize the Iraqi government (such as it is) for doing the same for the month of august when they can only speculate as to how many terrorist incidents there will be.
As they say, love it or leave it. I left it. But I still vote. There is still hope. I hope.

The technical problem which is facing the stock market is that we are about to encounter a once in many generations financial storm of incredible proportions that government and 98% of humans have no idea how to survive.
...and the walls begin crumbling down on another front: Ca. decertifies e-vote machines!
"PAPER BALLOTS FOR CALIFORNIA! - SECRETARY OF STATE ANNOUNCES DE-CERTIFICATION/RE-CERTIFICATION PLANS FOR E-VOTING SYSTEMS
Debra Bowen Announces DRE (Touch-Screen) Machines to be Used Only One Per Polling Place for Disabled Voters with 100% Manual Count of Paper Trails
Dramatic Late Night Press Conference Held at 11:45pm in Sacramento..."
A great American woman patriot! Debra Bowen!
This is how Republicans have been winning elections, on e-vote machines made by rightwing billionaire financed $$$$$$ and GOP-donor companies. The Republicans got the majority exactly with the advent of e-vote machines...check the statistics. The exit-polls have not matched the "final count" since the advent of e-vote machines, always swinging towards the GOP candidate.
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS HOW THEY DO IT!!!!!
IT ALLOWS EVERYTHING ELSE TO TAKE PLACE, THEREAFTER...

Dude... Jim Cramer has a near melt-down every second on CNBC. How's this different from his usual shtick?
Electronic votes and exit polls are fun.
Did you know that the variance between exit polls and voting results in Germany is roughly 0,2-0,3 %.
In Ukraine(I think) the incumbent was kicked out due to election fraud when the mismatch was about 3%.
When the non-traceable vote mismatch in a number of states/places in the US was 10% in 2000(in favor of you-know-who), the exit polling, who is being used worldwide to counter fraud, suddenly was wrong. But the exit polls was apparently only wrong in those places where a recount was impossible.
One more thing, about the healthcare, its interesting to note you are at first place in patient satisfaction. Wonder if the some 47 million who have to go without treatment for non life threatening conditions are a part of that part of the survey. Somehow I doubt it.

Is the reduction in the number of casualties of US troops in Iraq the result of a Bush/Petraeus/Odierno 'plan' to hype the numbers for the September report?
Has the number of 'Search and Be Destroyed' missions been reduced, so that our service people are no longer ordered, on an hourly basis, 'To go out there and do that patrol you did an hour ago again, so we can see if the 'terrorists' have planted any new IED's, or are massing for a frontal attack on the 'Green Zone'?
Have the orders for 'Terrorist Assault' attacks been reduced, so our troops no longer have to go into Iraqi strongholds with battering rams to indiscriminately break down the doors of every house and shoot all the occupants?
Have all the troops been assigned to water polo and rollerblade teams in the Green Zone, and ordered to 'play and have fun', whenever they're not building the 'Mortar Defense Dome' over the Zone? And, 'Whatever you do, don't go outside the Green Zone until further orders'?
All of these actions will reduce the number of US casualties, and it's nice to see that Bush/Petraeus/Odierno finally have a 'plan', but it does pose the question:
'Why didn't they implement it sooner?'
Or just build a mock Iraq somewhere in the US desert, and work off all their aggressive fantasies in a way that wouldn't hurt anyone?
Trent Lott is just suffering from PTSD and an increased sense of his imminent mortality, ever since he had to go to Walter Reed to have that goat horn extracted from his anus.
(However, according to his 'lifemate', the extraction has greatly improved his sex life)
Cheney is rubbing his hands with glee over the prospect of an August terrist attack on Washington.
He already has Halliburton locked in to a 'No Bid' contract to rebuild the Capitol on some land he owns in Wyoming.
I dislike those semantic parsings, like 'it depends on the meaning of 'is'', or 'we weren't discussing THAT terrorist surveillance program', but isn't a definition of 'vacation', a 'period of time when one is not working'?
On that basis, when is G.W. Bush ever 'not on vacation'?
Too bad Laura didn't learn that abstinence doesn't work here in the US before she married that drunken, impotent sot, and then later had to renounce her vow of chastity.

According to insiders, Mitt also has a secret admiration for Osama, and 'his ability to administer and control a vastly complicated effective organization, while remaining out of the public eye, yet winning the worldwide battle for hearts and minds as well as his tactical military campaigns'.
Mitt has been heard to mutter, 'Too bad 'W' isn't more like 'O''.
Boehner is a bit of an enigma. One gets the feeling that he has managed to put a not-quite-perfected competent, concerned, effective exterior facade over a massively corrupt, mendacious, hypocritical 'real self'.
What proof is there of his malignant interior?
He's a politician from Ohio.
'Nuff said?
My guess is that schizoid Gates will fit right in with psychopath Bush and sociopath Cheney.
Blue Buddha @ 9:
Well at least he's telling the truth in this one.

Few folks realize that the reason Rice usually wears pants is at Bush's order.
He awarded her two Medals of Freedom in a secret ceremony, in fact, he classified the ceremony, 'Top Secret, Eyes Only'.
Since Rice insists on wearing the medals, danging from their ribbons, on hooks inserted in her pierced labia, Bush threatened to arrest her if she didn't wear pants or keep the medals in her drawers.
Bush had a pre-war chant that was included in most all his speeches: 9/11, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Saddam. He warned us what he was going to do depite the fact that the CIA created al kinda after 9/11, that no Iraqis were envolved in the attack and 16 Saudi's were.
Now the neo-cons have been beating the drum for another false flag event...Chertoff and his "gut" feeling, that Isralli official and his 8 hits in one day senario, Cheny warning, etc. One "insider" said on prisonplanet.com that the date was 8/23...which ties in to the NWO's mania for the number 13 and the fact that Bush will be in Canada signing away our country into the National American Union as people are more interested in the lastest Harry Potter release then their freedom.
They have flexed their muscles these past weeks with the Ex Orders, refusals to appear, and more gun donations and money to Israel, one of the most viscious group of people in the Mid East. They couldn't give the wives of dead soldiers a $50 a month raise but they give those killers billions of dollars.
Yeah, they are going to pull it off again. We have been talking about this for years and each year we are looked at as less the "crackpot" and more the informed patriot as everything we have discussed is happening. Beyond the beltway talking points, few people understand what is really going on regarding the intentional effort to make us into a 3rd world country.
That's my nickle...
Nice style on the round up.
Yea that's crazy.
Connect the dots and follow the money to the REAL crooks and liars.

I'd like to thank Ms. Griffin (the waitress) who spoke up to Mittzy. So often when politicians talk about health care for working Americans they say 'we're going to work to make health insurance available to all Americans'. What the hell does that mean? Health Ins. is available for anyone who can pony up the cash. If you saw the exchange between Mitty any Ms. Griffin you'd also know that the health insurance industry's fees seem to works on a sliding scale--the less you can afford it the more it costs: her ins. the more money you have the cheaper your costs are: his ins.
In Mitten's defense tho, he's probably like gwb the 1st on first seeing a check out line in a grocery store--he had no idea that people didn't have the money. What the? Reminds me of my daughter when she was 6 or 7. She wants something and I'm like, honey we can't afford it..."well write a check". That's Mitten's world. If they need it why don't they just buy it? If they have no bread let them eat cake! ha ha ha la la la
You know in addition to the best health care in the world we also have the finest yaughting, the spiffiest country clubs and my goodness the lobster is exquisite!
