Now You See....

It's been more than 2 years since I last posted here, and I hate to say I told you so, but c'mon, look at the state of the world and what the idiot in the White House has done to it...

Farewell for Now...

My friends-

After six months, I have concluded that too many people are doing what I am trying to do. Since I have not been able to cut through the clutter, I have decided to take a blogging hiatus. I may re-launch this site at some point, but right now there are other ways I can use my energy. I will write more to political leaders, for one thing, which I got away from when I started this weblog in anger after the 2004 election.

Let me assure you that my anger has not subsided. I am still appalled on a daily basis by what Bush and his buddies are trying to do. They appear determined to ruin this country while telling us it is in our best interest. They push God on us, telling us that we are God-less if we disagree with them, not to mention unpatriotic. They are even attempting to change 200-year-old Senate rules in order to exert more power.

It is not unpatriotic to disagree with the President. It is our right as Americans, and if we love this country it is our duty to speak up if we feel it is going in the wrong direction. The pendulum will swing back, and when it does, conservatives will be crying about (or investigating and trying to impeach) the Democrats. When that day comes, hopefully very soon, there will be many a weblog set up in anger at the results of that election. And so it goes…

Take Care,

Bush's Disapproval Rating

Let’s see…

Bush’s approval rating is now 46%, the lowest since he took office. He won the 2004 election with 51% of the vote. Do you think maybe some people who voted for him are having second thoughts?

Bush was photographed holding hands with a known supporter of terrorism. Let me repeat, he was photographed holding hands with a known supporter of terrorism.

Rats

A woman walks into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at the
exotica, she notices a very life-like, life-sized bronze rat. It has no
price-tag, but is so striking she decides she must have it. She takes it to
the owner: "How much for the bronze rat?" "Twelve dollars for the rat, one
hundred dollars for the story." She pays him the $12 and says, "Keep the
story."

As she walks down the street carrying this bronze rat, she notices a few
real rats have crawled out of alleys and sewers and have begun following
her. This is a bit disconcerting, so she begins walking a little faster.
Within a few blocks, the number of rats has grown by hundreds, and they're
squealing. She is at a dead run toward the bay when she looks back at what
seems to be thousands, or even millions of squealing rats coming toward her
at full speed. Terrified, she runs to the edge of the Bay, and throws the
bronze rat as far out as she can.

To her surprise, the million rats jump in after it and drown! She returns to
the curio shop where the owner, who is waiting, He says: "Now I suppose you
want the story?"

"No," said the woman, "I came back to see if you have a
bronze Republican."

Social Security: The Musical

Nothing to say today, but something to show you. Enjoy...

Energy Imbalance Behind Global Warming

We are creating a greenhouse effect...our pollution and use of fossil fuels has resulted in the Earth letting sunlight in, but trapping the heat that it generates.

This was detailed in an online verion of the journal Science on Thursday, April 28th, 2005.

Sometime by April 30th, 2005, you can expect many Republicans to denounce this report as "junk science." Bush will be one of them. We can't have anything that impedes his and his buddies' oil profits, can we?

Bush's Press Conference

I will withhold comment on Bush's press conference last night pending further review. Sure, it sounds good....tilting Social Security to the poor and all, but Bush's rhetoric rarely matches his action on social issues. He has rarely done anything that benefits that majority of Americans, and with his party controlling the entire government, why should he start now?

The Wisdom of Peter Griffin

Peter Griffin, protagonist of the cult cartoon Family Guy, was riding an elephant in one episode as he led a parade into his backyard (don't ask).

From atop the elephant, he says to his wife, "hey Lois, look...the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a fat white guy who's afraid of change."

Round-Up: GOP Finally Starting to Be Held Accountable

Let’s see-

-Bush’s Social Security ideas don’t seem to be getting anywhere

-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is under fire from Democrats AND some Republicans over possible influence peddling, ethics violations, and not-so-veiled threats of violence to judges of whose decisions he disapproved

-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is having trouble in his quest to change Senate rules so the GOP can hammer in Bush’s too-conservative judicial appointees. There is major opposition from sensible people, both Democrats and Republicans. In addition, both evangelicals and business leaders are starting to disapprove, creating headaches for Frist and putting his 2008 presidency hopes in peril

-Bush’s nominee to represent the U.S. for the United Nations, John Bolton, is getting heat for both his harsh treatment of his staff (not a big deal, really….who hasn’t had a boss who was harsh?) and his apparent cherry-picking of intelligence to suit his needs. THAT is a big problem. Bush and his buddies did the same thing to force us into invading Iraq.

Bush and the Republicans are finally starting to get some heat for their dishonest and sometimes fraudulent actions, and not because of the "liberal media" that they often blame for their problems. They brought these problems on themselves, and it’s about damn time they faced the music for all their nonsense.
