Bush is a douchebag, this is news?

A penny for your thoughts soul mate?

See, that's the thing about compassionate Conservatism, at least you get a cheap souvenir. Rush Limbaugh would have just called her a phony.

An obolus for Charon.

They really are FREAKS aren't they?

It goes beyond EVIL.

And to think that many people actually wanted him to be prez. I wonder how many of them regret voting for him and make it easier for him to steal not one but two elections.

I wouldn't bank on Conservatives who voted for Bush and regret it not voting for someone worse. From what I'm picking up from the right wing these days is that they're dissatisfied because they think Bush isn't Conservative enough. Too much of that compassion thing don't you know?

Fools gold from a fool. Here's some late night illumination sure to raise your spirits. Or maybe not.

This may help to better understand the Washington establishment and its courtesan punditry who serve to reinforce their ceaseless narrative of exceptionalism. This is why they’ve disingenuously covered up the infantilism of George W. Bush for so long: LittleDubya is the id of the ruling class made manifest –he’s their troubled child, who, by his destructive actions, cracks the deceptively normal veneer of a miserable family and reveals the rot within. At a certain level, it’s damn entertaining: his instability so shakes the foundation of the house that it causes the skeletons in its closets to dance.

By engaging in a mode of being so careless it amounts to public immolation, these corrupt elitists are bringing the empire down. There is nothing new in this: Such recklessness is the method by which cunning strivers commit suicide.

Those who take the trouble to look will apprehend the disastrous results of the ruling elites’ pathology: wars of choice sold to a credulous citizenry by public relations confidence artists; a predatory economy that benefits one percent of the population; a demoralized, deeply ignorant populace who are either unaware of or indifferent to the difference between the virtues and vicissitudes of the electoral processes of a democratic republic, in contrast to the schlock circus, financed by big money corporatist, being inflicted upon us, at present.

Moreover, the elitist’s barriers of isolation and exclusion play out among the classes below as an idiot’s mimicry of soulless gated “communities” and the pernicious craving for a vast border wall – all an imitation of the ruling classes’ paranoia-driven compulsion for isolation and their narcissistic obsession with exclusivity.

Perhaps, we should cover the country in an enormous sheet of cellophane and place a zip-lock seal at its southern border, or, better yet — in the interest of being more metaphorically accurate — let’s simply zip the entire land mass of the U.S. into a body bag and be done with it.

What will be at the root of the empire’s demise? It seems the elite of the nation will succumb to “Small World Syndrome” — that malady borne of incurable careerism, a form of self-induced cretinism that reduces the vast and intricate world to only those things that advance the goals of its egoist sufferers. It is a degenerative disease that winnows down the consciousness of those afflicted to a banal nub of awareness, engendering the shallowness of character on display in the corporate media and the arrogance and cluelessness of the empire’s business and political classes. It possesses a love of little but mammon; it is the myth of Midas, manifested in the hoarding of hedge funds; it is the tale of an idiot gibbering over his collection of used strings.

What can be done? In these dangerous times, credulousness to party dogma is as dangerous as a fundamentalist Christian’s literal interpretation of the Bible: There is no need to squander the hours searching for an “intelligent design” within the architecture of denial and duplicity built into this claptrap system — a system that we have collaborated in constructing by our loyalty to political parties that are, in return, neither loyal to us nor any idea, policy nor principle that doesn’t maintain the corporate status quo.

Accordingly, we must make the elites of the Democratic Party accountable for their betrayal — or we ourselves will become complicit. The faith of Democratic partisans in their degraded party is analogous to Bush and his loyalist still believing they can achieve victory in Iraq and the delusion-based wing of the Republican Party who, a few years ago, clung to the belief, regardless of facts, that Terri Schiavo’s brain was not irreparably damaged and she would someday rise from her hospital bed and bless the heavens for them and their unwavering devotion to her cause.

Bush's were all crocodile tears. But I'm betting the aide who let real people pierce the bubble of George W's official reality is going to be shedding some real ones soon. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall (or an NSA issue microphone in the lamp) to hear what Dubya had to say after the ladies had been escorted off the premises...

and that old racial standby, the noose, is making a comeback in a big way...

gen. ricardo sanchez tells it like it is. craig is hurting the gop. Even the IRS notes a wider disparity between the rich and the poor!

hey, tequila, you should do the blog round up sometime!

I'm surprised she let him kiss her on the cheek.

The only people that are going to have a chance to stop this war and the upcoming Iran war are the 70%ers by getting out there and making a lot of noise.

I saw something that disturbed me recently where I saw people talking about how they, along with other Americans, would definately rise up and protest if Bush/Cheney attacked Iran.

HUH? Wait until they attack to protest? Like the killing in Iraq isn't enough for them to get out, that they need more in Iran before they actually would protest?

Instead of MoveOn.org and those other groups buying ads for things like that Patreaus ad, why not plan a nation wide protest like Strike911.org tried to do in September and which they are hoping to set something up again. Maybe more people and popular blogs would jump on board.

Last week or whenever it was when C&L posted those Impeach Bracelets, wouldn't it have been great to post a date of a protest where ALL BLOGS could jump on board and advertise it?

Why is it so easy to get 70-80,000 in stadiums around the country for football every Sunday and for Baseball.

If C&L was the blog to plan and set a date for a nation wide protest I would send a nice donation thier way.

Maybe...Just maybe some of those that were wasting time posting insults and name calling yesterday, would put that anger into good use and join the protest.

PLEASE PLEASE C&L use your large visitor power to get all the progressive blogs to join together for a WORLD WIDE protest. The media wouldn't be able to ignore the protests any more if EVERYONE joined in on the same day/s.

Am I just wasting my time typing this or will someone here at least consider talking with the other BIG BLOGS?

Umm, I think there have been nationwide protests, it's just that the Corporate Media gives them short shrift. As they say: If a tree falls in the woods...

he did that a long time ago. his callousness is always ignored in the media. they present it so matter-of-factly, as if, there's nothing wrong.

Colbert was right at the press dinner. I'm glad that at least once in his tenure, boosh was told off to his face what a delusional piece of scum he is.

The rationale for the war was as follow (so I think). Bush, who hired The Project for a New American Century (PNAC) to manage his foreign affairs, participated in a scheme to misrepresent Iraq's possession of WMD in order to trick the U.S into war with Iraq, because they thought they could wrap it up in under a year, so nobody would care. Abu Ghraib came about because when the Bush administration was grasping with the fact that the insurgency (resistance) was preventing the matter from being wrapped up, they decided to short-cut to a conclusion through torture, which, in the process, started eliminating the distinction of the U.S. versus the "bad guys".

The woman should be told that her son's death was a "voluntary homicide" in violation of U.S.C 18 §1112, also endorsed by the Congress by their inaction to impeach the President and Vice President. Her son died because of of lies to persuade the U.S. to occupy Iraq for its oil, and because of PNAC's wet dream that somehow, a "democracy domino theory" would render a Middle East safe for Israel. However, people who seek a theocracy aren't about to embrace democracy. To the contrary, it seems within the U.S., those people seeking theocracy, a core constituency of the Republican party, are actively seeking to destroy democracy within America, and in particular, the Constitution.

As I have said a number of times, the next really big environmental problem that will hit all Americans like a bad curveball, as many are sleeping in the age of Bush and decadence, and greed, are the water wars and the water issue, globally. This is such a huge problem, but do not expect this issue to get much play in any of the presidential debates....its seen as too much of a "wonk issue" that "bores" too many Americans. So much for Americans wanting to be "informed or enlightened." I hope you will all get familiar with this serious global and national issue before its too late. The time is now to be engaged in the water issue which is not unconnected to the work Al Gore has been involved with all these years.

Our Drinkable Water Supply Is Vanishing
By Tara Lohan, AlterNet
Posted on October 11, 2007, Printed on October 12, 2007
http://www.alternet.org/story/64948/

Here is an excerpt:

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Hungarian biochemist and Nobel Prize winner for medicine once said, "Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water."

We depend on water for survival. It circulates through our bodies and the land, replenishing nutrients and carrying away waste. It is passed down like stories over generations --from ice-capped mountains to rivers to oceans.

Historically water has been a facet of ritual, a place of gathering and the backbone of community.

But times have changed. "In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential needs for survival, water has become the victim of his indifference," Rachel Carson wrote.

As a result, today, 35 years since the passage of the Clean Water Act, we find ourselves are teetering on the edge of a global crisis that is being exacerbated by climate change, which is shrinking glaciers and raising sea levels.

We are faced with thoughtless development that paves flood plains and destroys wetlands; dams that displace native people and scar watersheds; unchecked industrial growth that pollutes water sources; and rising rates of consumption that nature can't match. Increasingly, we are also threatened by the wave of privatization that is sweeping across the world, turning water from a precious public resource into a commodity for economic gain.

Since this is an open thread:

I am deeply concerned about out being able to rise above beltway political discussions on this blog without censure. The two political parties are two wings of the same bird and they are both taking away our liberties on a weekly basis.

Many of us have put hundreds if not thousands of hours into our research and knowledge base and it sucks to be called a "theorist," troll, or simply deleted because of our information being different than yours.

There are things going on that are so big, so outrageous, so profound that people not only refuse to hear about them, they want to kill the messengers. We are so deep in trouble it is mind boggling to even list everything.

This didn't happen with Bush, it's been going on since our inception as a nation and the Bush administration is where it is being acted out after centuries of planning. Just about everything you think you KNOW is a lie or misdirection. TV is a poison beyond belief and should be used as a DVD player only.

Here are a few links to reality:

[Deleted. Vast conspiracy theory links-Sitemonitor]

The only, and I mean ONLY thing we can do is focus on one thing: Making Bush and Cheney face the consequences of their actions...impeachment, trial, and imprisonment. Nothing else will break the back of the beast. As Jim Morrison said: "They have the guns, but we have the numbers."

Our congress is filled with cowards and traitors. We have the right to take back our republic. If we don't act soon, they will pull off another false flag event to bring about martial law. They have the Blackwater mercenaries ready to enforce their will as well as foreign soldiers brought in through Canada now on our soil.

NOTHING is more important to our freedom as a nation, NOTHING but taking out the Bush administration now. If not, we will be in WWIII by Spring and China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, Iran, North Korea, etc. will ALL be beating the shit out of us here in the states. Our military has been intentionally beat down for this reason.

We are now a second rate nation with no manufacturing to generate trade, our money is worthless, the gold is gone from Fort Knox, our nation is dumb, fat, and lazy and the rest of the world knows this.

Impeach Bush and Cheney or we die. Period.

there is another major issue that will be facing the world as important as water and that is the global shortage of food for human beings. this is on record as the first year that the crops recently have not been sufficient enough to feed the entire population on the planet. you can now couple this with the loss of a major portion of the food in America this season, that is being left on the American fields to rot because their are no
WORKERS TO HARVEST THE CROPS. our kind and thoughtless moron gop and bushit are having all the transient workers(illegal migrant workers by their description) arrested and deported. this is leaving thousands of our farmers without workers to harvest and all those jobless white bastards are just too good to work for the wages the migrant workers are willing to accept. well, we are not fucking ourselves and food prices will surely go up because of food shortages and additionally from rising fuel costs.

America the land of the plenty.........that just lays on the fields and rots........
you get what you give.

NOT COIN RELATED, BUT LAPEL PIN RELATED - I NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!
Off-topic, but I really would appreciate your brief feedback on something I've thought about off-and-on for months. Not sure if it's a great idea or Beavis & Butthead.

Let Republicans have their stupid flag lapel pins, 'cause pins are stupid. That said, I'm proposing an idea for.....yep, a lapel pin. How about encouraging Dem leaders to sport "Constitution Pins" on their lapels? They might appear as a gilded, partially unrolled scroll. This pin, like other pins, is meaningless in itself. But it would quickly become a talking point. Chris Matthews, George Stephanopoulos, Bob Schieffer and others will interview Dems and pop the inevitable question for many weeks, "So I see you are wearing one of the new Constitution pins. Explain what that means to you, and why." This would be the perfect set-up for what Dems have been yelling anyway: "We have a president who, in his lust for executive power, has repeatedly undermined our nation's Constitution in a brazen manner we would have never imagined not so long ago. Whether it's illegally monitoring our citizens' communications, claims that torture is something other than that, or outing our undercover intelligence agents for political gain, this is not only unacceptable to us, but it goes against the core democratic principals this republic was founded on. IF THE PRESIDENT WON’T DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, THEN WE MOST CERTAINLY WILL." Etc etc etc. The pins would not only provide a new talking point, but could come to visually symbolize everything that Dems have been passionately yelling about for the past 7 years.

SO, GREAT IDEA?......OR TOTAL BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD? PLEASE LET ME KNOW! THANKS.
(FYI, I can't be offended -- I dearly love Beavis & Butthead.)

The thread that ate itself...

54 TC-14

I think it is a great idea. I just put in a request for a quote on 10,000 die cast metal gold liknesses of the Constitution. Maybe if they don't cost too much we can get the money and send them to every public figure we can think of.

I don't know who said it, but someone said, "Never shake hands with a war criminal", probably in reference to Rumsfeld's famous picture with Saddam. There really is no point in going to see Bush or expecting him to give a satisfactory answer as to why we invaded and occupied Iraq. I can understand the wanting of a good answer, but that desire won't ever be fulfilled by Bush.

I read the entire post involving this woman and the one who lost her son. All I have to say is I think your President is F*&(%^& pathetic. In Canada mothers and wives are honered quite differently
Silver Cross Mother
The National Silver Cross Mother is chosen annually by The Royal Canadian Legion to represent the mothers of Canada at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa on 11 November. As the Silver Cross Mother, she lays a wreath at the base of the National War Memorial on behalf of all mothers who lost children in the military service of their nation.
And I don't think it matters wether or not she's nice to the PM

Looking at various sites for lapel pins it would appear that you could get 1000 pins (if they were already designed and made for under a dollar each. If you mailed one to every member of Congress, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Hanity, Combs and all the rest it would cost less than $2000. I bet Move On could get the money together in a heartbeat. It would torpedo the right's bullshit in a big way and in a hurry.

I have passed the US Constitution Lapel Pin idea on to Move On. I hope they respond. I think it would be fun to have Stephen Colbert badgering his right wing guests to wear one. :)

This whole Graeme Frost thing really pisses me off. I was wondering if all the C&L posters wanted to get together and send the family something. A card or something, I'm not sure how to make this happen. If anyone has any ideas, please post them.

Our friend George II is Henry V calling to his countrymen to go "once more into the breach for our sacred English dead". On the side stage women lament the deaths of their innocent warriors struck down by a callous fool so full of himself that he cannot even imagine that he may have made a mistake in exposing the Kingdom to such a peril that may attack us again without notice. Upstage a fired general wails about George II's conduct of the war as the mischeveous pranks of a sadistic youth. Just to George II's right are his rivals murmuring happily among themselves that they will keep supporting him until he takes enough rope to put himself upon the scaffold. Yes, one of them would soon carry the scepter of the King. Then they would show how they would reign. The Queen rends her gown and yearns for the day the King will step down and they can return to their castle in Crawford. The Muses of History dressed in their hooded cloaks chant out: "What fools these mortals be."

The King, being malignant in spirit, cannot bear that others can feel womanish mercy that overcomes justice. He seeks to bring the whole Kingdom down to his level where all that counts is your authority. "Womanish mercy indeed", he snorts. "I've no knowledge of mercy nor do i require it...begone knave before i have you bound and imprisoned". The King's father, George I, enfeebled in body and mind wails "that i should have brought such a monster to this stage of fools." That's the end of Act II. In Act III we will learn what happens when George II enlarges the endless war to include other kingdoms yearning to destroy him and his countrymen. It is a long list and includes Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China. The King's Authority is about to be questioned again? "Gird up your loins again you sons of York, once more into the breach for God, England, Saint George and the Rapture".

This news about ATT has been spying for the government since a few days after Bush's inauguration is pretty unsettling, but something I suspected.

Unfortunately, ATT, knowing they had immunity being served up to them, is engaging in crooked business practices knowing that their immunity will probably protect them from being prosecuted for fleecing customers.

I signed on with them a few months ago. They have thrown so many charges at me its not even funny. I call to get them undone, but the operator uses a tactic of attrition to wear you down until you stop trying to convince them the charge is real. They also entered me into a contract on a land line for a year, with out my knowing.

All communications are being monitored, but staying away from ATT might save you some dough while your being spied upon.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a motion to stop immigration authorities forcibly drugging deportees as they are put on commercial flights back to their home countries.

The motion, filed Tuesday in federal court, comes after an immigration official testified in the Senate last month that 50 immigrants over a seven-month period were forced to take psychotropic drugs. Many of them had no psychiatric diagnosis.

"here's a presidential coin. call someone who gives a fuck"

Bush is sub-human.

"We see things differently"

Yeah. He sees profit margins for his fortune 100 companies and she sees an empty life without the only man she loved.

Bush is a monster boy-king devoid of any capasity for human empathy. In my athiest world, he is as close to what Christians call "the devil' as you can get.

Don't blame dubya! He comes from a long line of patronizing masagonists. Look at Grandpappy Prescot, for God's sake.

Their conversation ended shortly after Halley began urging Bush to end the war. “We see things differently,” he told her.

Bush decided she was one of Rush's "phony war widows."

Oh, I know any number of people who would love to be able to get in front of Bush for a few minutes.

Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen.
She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children
Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage
And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table
Who just cleaned up all the food from the table
And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level,
Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room,
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle.
And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger.
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Take the rag away from your face.
Now ain't the time for your tears.

That reminded me of this classic:

Bush to mother: Don't sell on eBay

Several mothers who have lost children at war in Iraq took part in a new talk show today on National Public Radio.

One of them, Elaine Johnson, recounted a meeting that she had with President Bush in which he gave her a presidential coin and told her and five other families: "Don’t go sell it on eBay.”

...

"Then he gave us a presidential coin,'' she said. "Now you check this out: He gave six of us a presidential coin, tell us not to tell the rest of the people that was there, and then after that he told us don’t go sell it on eBay. Now you tell me how insensitive that can be? What kind of caring person is that?''

Not a good combination.
