An American Turning Point
 by Peter Dyer

 consortiumnews.com

 Robert Parry:
The new trend among Washington pundits is -- finally -- to admit that the Iraq War hasn't
turned out exactly like they had expected. But they are still blaming tactical errors: not enough
U.S. troops, not enough realism in the hasty decision to disband the Iraqi army, not enough
targeting of Shiite militias, not enough saber-rattling against Iran and Syria.

Bush has so thoroughly lost credibility with nearly everyone on the planet and is so widely despised
that he himself has become a clear and present danger to U.S. national security. Bush has become
Osama's perfect foil, yet Bush is incapable of admitting mistakes and changing course.

Thus, no serious discussion can be held about solving Bush's disastrous foreign policy as long as Bush
and his team remain in office. In this guest essay, Peter Dyer suggests the first difficult step that the
United States must take is to change national leadership and to demonstrate to the world that the
American people are determined to reclaim their proud history as the chief defender of international law:

 Peter Dyer:
If and when President Bush is impeached and removed from office, the next step should be
to arrest him and the other architects of the unprovoked invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Tampering with Rights
 by Helen Thomas

 sacbee.com

 Excerpt:
Why does Bush insist on tinkering with the long-established laws on military conduct and treaties?
They are drafting amendments to the 1996 War Crimes Act to immunize political appointees,
CIA officials and former military personnel from criminal prosecution for humiliating or degrading
treatment of prisoners of war.

Bush's proposed amendments would reduce the number of acts against detainees that are subject
to criminal prosecution. Bush seems most concerned about Common Article 3 that bars "outrages
upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment."
 

I know the answer to that:
Bush, in his feeble mind, is still exploding frogs in a creek in west Texas.
Like other serial killers, Bush started with animals and now has graduated to human beings.

Subject: Snakes on a Plane!

Snakes on a Plane is HILARIOUS!
I have never had so much fun at a movie!!!

It was sold out, and full of SOAP geeks!  It was like being at a midnight show of  Rocky Horror.
I've never laughed so hard in the first 15 minutes of a  movie. I was CRYING, I was laughing so hard.
It's like a parody of a B  movie (but played completely straight which is why it's so f-ing hilarious)
with an A-List actor (Samuel L. Jackson) in a film with the GREATEST TITLE OF ALL TIME.

I don't know if it would have been as great an experience had it not  been for the audience.
It was the most interactive/ participatory movie event I've been to in YEARS.

People SCREAMING/ hissing at the screen!
Every time there were snakes, or SLJ opened  his mouth, people cheered!
When he said, "I am tired of all  these muthafuckingsnakes on this muthafuckingplane,"
everyone jumped to their feet and CHEERED!    IT WAS FUN!!!

The film KNOWS it's camp, and plays on that BIG TIME.
Going for classic camera angles, music, etc.... this film has the biggest  collection of one-liners EVER.

Tally,

concisely summed up the American predicament in Iraq:
Be polite,

have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
 

If we're there to kill everyone we meet.
wouldn't it be cheaper (in lives) to just come home?

Don't know if you have heard, but there is a fine comedian out there named Tim Bedore 
(not sure of spelling) that is touting "his" solution to the mideast conflict.  

It sounds exactly like your except he uses, instead of Oklahoma, all of Nevada
except Vegas and Reno, as "they have done very well with deserts in the past".

Arms dealers 'making a killing'

 boston.com

 Excerpt:
The estimated costs for the development of major weapons systems for the US military
have doubled since Bush's 9-11 surprise, with a trillion-dollar price tag for new planes, ships,
and missiles that would have little direct role in the fight against insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The soaring cost estimates have led to concerns that congressional supporters of multibillion-dollar
weapons programs, the Pentagon , and the defense industry are using 9-11 and Bush's phony
"war on terrorism" to fulfill a wish-list of defense expenditures, needed or not.
 

Gee, I'm shocked.
You mean someone thought Bush would lie us into a major world war and not make a profit?

Subject: Arianna

Bart, why does Arianna have such a vendetta against the Clintons?

Good question.
If she has a heart, she has to know She would be better for America and the world
than another four years of Der Monkey promoting rape, murder, invasions, and pillaging.

My guess is money.
Right now, you can make tons of money by slamming the Clintons
no matter how much it helps the Fascist Republicans with their plans.
 

It's as if Arianna really still belongs to and supports the crazy right-wing.
Jealousy is such a dangerous thing; anyhow, doesn't she have enought
to write about Bush-Chency-Lieberman team of terror?

I keep asking the same question about Molly, Sirota, Doud, Kos and the rest.
Maybe if Bush did something outrageous, they'd write about him instead of Her.
 

Also, why do you think Scarborough is starting to slam Bush the idiot?

I believe that's the wrong question - the right question is, "Why is Scarborough
the only one with the brains to admit that backing Bush is a losing gamble?"

Because I'm old enough to remember, I keep comparing this to Vietnam.
In the 70s, seems like every week another politician would open his eyes, change his mind and say,
"I no longer believe in this unwinnable war - it's time we brought the boys home,"
but even tho that's what the majority of people want, most elected officials, and Democrats,
have failed to do the right thing - even when it's going to make them look good.

And Hagel's come close, but the first prominent Republican who says,
"Bush policies have failed and we need to change direction to save our country,"
will be the front-runner for 2008, with the people if not with the RNC.
 

You're so good at smacking down the monkeys, so keep up the good work.

A former judge convicted of exposing himself while presiding over jury trials by using
a sexual device under his robe was sentenced Friday to four years in prison.
Donald Thompson had spent almost 23 years on the bench.

His former court reporter said she saw Thompson use the device almost daily during a 2003 murder trial.

Fear Finally Strikes Out 

 rozius.blogspot.com

 Excerpt:
The results are in for the White House's latest effort to exploit terrorism for political gain: the era of 
Americans' fearing fear itself is over. In each poll released since the foiling of the trans-Atlantic terror 
plot - Bush's approval rating remains stuck in the 30s, just as it has been with little letup in the year 
since Bush Katrina disaster. While the new Middle East promised by Condi Rice remains a delusion, 
the death rattle of the domestic political order we've lived with since 9/11 can be found everywhere: 
in Americans' unhysterical reaction to the terror plot, in politicians' and pundits' hysterical overreaction 
to Lieberman's defeat, even in the ho-hum box-office reaction to Oliver Stone's World Trade Center.

 Excerpt:
Austin, Texas - Chanting "Try Rove for treason," Cindy Sheehan and more than 50 other
war protesters disrupted a reception before Karl Rove spoke at a fundraiser Saturday.

One woman was arrested during a scuffle with police after Sheehan and friends rushed
toward the closed doors and kept chanting loudly after the guests went into the dinner.
Rove was speaking to the Associated Fascists of Texas. He was not in there at the time.

"I want him arrested. He planned the [fake] war that killed my son," Sheehan told officers
guarding the door. Sheehan's oldest son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004. ush

Subject: Rush on Jimmy Carter

Bart -

Dead on, bro.  This idiot worships Der Monkey, and says stuff like this and NOBODY
in his audience can get through to point out facts about how wrong he is.
His boys won't let calls like that through, so why try?

He's a coward who can't take a challenge from non-dittoheads.
 

And yet, he gets a solid three hours here in Des Moines, and is followed up by a guy for ANOTHER
three hours who sounds like he's wearing a white sheet. And a three hour morning guy who sounds a
little more reasonable, put puts the sheet on when it suits him (so to speak).

All this, and Faux News at the top of each hour, and it's called "Des Moines' News Station"!!!
If it weren't for the best corn-on-the-cob in the whole damn country, I'd leave.

Keep swingin' that damn hammer - I can hear the dents!
 Mike in Des Moines
 

Dude, it's the same way in Tulsa.
We get Nazi hate from 6-9AM, then more Nazi hate from 9AM-noon, then the vulgar Pigboy spew
Nazi hate from 1-4, then Hannity the Fascist from 4-7, then some other Nazi from 7 to10 - non-stop.

Before we had the FF miles, we would sometimes drive to Vegas.
Tulsa was all Nazi hate.
Oklahoma City was all Nazi hate.
Western Oklahoma was all Nazi hate.
Amarillo was all Nazi hate.
Albuquerque was all Nazi hate.
Gallup was all Nazi hate.
Flagstaff was all Nazi hate.

Same for going to Colorado.
Wichita was all Nazi hate.
Western Kansas was all Nazi hate.
Denver was all Nazi hate.
Boulder was all Nazi hate.

Nazi hate, from sea to shining sea.

I wish I could get on the air somewhere following Rush.
I could replay his first hour, every day, and list the lies and then tell the truth.
I think it'd be damn entertaining - for a few weeks, at least.

The next pro-war Democrat to fall?
 by another liar who really, really hates the Clintons

 smirkingchimp.com

 Excerpt:
Joe Lieberman's sorry hide has been nailed to the wall, and there is rejoicing in the land
(except from the political hacks who make up the permanent occupation force of Washington).

And while I am pleased to see a discredited, humiliated Lieberman forced to cast his lot in
with his friends in the Republican Party, I won't be completely convinced that the revolution
is here until Hillary Clinton's hide is nailed to the wall beside Joe's.
 

Will we ever see an intelligently written column about Her?
If she's that bad, why can't they tell the truth when "exposing" Her?
Is she so perfect that name-calling is their only workable tactic?

This guy is entitled to his own opinion, but he's another in a long line of fools who claims
to have been inside Her head and truly knows Her innermost thoughts and motivations.

Example:
The real test as to whether there is a shift in the Democratic Party is how Clinton fares
in the New York primary on Sept. 12. Will she too be punished by voters for trying to
have it both ways on Iraq, or will she get a free ride to a second term in the Senate?

First, she's going to win re-election big-time, which pops this idiot's argument.
According to him, that means the nation is pro-war, which it no longer is.
Like an idiot, he's gambling his position on certain defeat.

His second sentence, if he came to this argument with clean hands, could've been,
"Is she popular enough in New York to overcome her go-to-war vote?"
but there's not enough hate in that sentence, so he added that "free ride" shit
to make it sound like she just robbed somebody.  Like most haters, he pretends
Her position on Iraq is identical to Kissyface ie "This war is going great!"
He knows that's not true, but you can make more money if you lie about Her.

They say to win, you have to please your party in the primary, then run towards the center
for the general election.  The wants-to-lose Democrats insist that she pin herself to that
left wall so it can be used against her in November. She's smarter than that.

They've chained her, they've hooded her, they've tied her feet to a pulley.
They're lowering her into the water-torture tank, and America wonders - can she escape?

 ha ha

If only people were willing to put their money where their hatred is.

Subject: Bush to Steal Millions from Pensions

You want to know how Bush is going to steal millions?   There are a couple of clues…

The article states that defined benefit plans (pensions) are horribly underfunded…and that is true.
It is what happened to Bethlehem Steel, because they gave bonuses and perks to upper management
without funding the pension plan, and then when business slumped and their retiree roles grew, they
were unable to meet obligations, causing them to go into bankruptcy (US Steel funded their pensions
and that is why they are still alive and well).  It is good news that the administration is at least making
noise about getting those obligations funded…but I doubt it will be much more than lip service.

The key to the theft in the bill is found in the following - "The law lets employers automatically enroll
workers in 401(k) plans. In addition, there is a mechanism to increase gradually the amount saved,
and employers are encouraged to match some of the dollars that workers stash away".  You see,
this is one of the Enron issues…and that is in a 401(k), all investments are under the name of the
company, not the individual participants.  401(k) plans have a 'Third Party Administrator' who
keeps track of which portion belongs to the employee and which portion belongs to the company
and how much of the company's contributions are vested.  However, from the outside it appears
as though the entire retirement account belongs to the company and as such can be used as
collateral in loans or corporate bonds.

Without seeing all the provisions in the law, it would be difficult to speculate whether or not the
employer could withhold some of the employees wages as part of their 'mandatory enrollment',
but even without that provision, it would allow the corporations to contribute funds, deduct said
funds from taxable income, and then use those funds to payback loans if they go to into default.
In other words, they could basically shelter those funds from corporate income taxes, take out
loans to fund options and bonuses for upper management, then default on the loans and use
those tax free funds to pay back the debentures.

Keep up the good fight!
 Justfred
 

As always, I didn't have time to get into but I know two things:
If Bush says he's going to "reform" something, that means they're going to steal it.
Bush gave companies SEVEN YEARS to comply

That means they're going to rape it silly for seven years. 

Then, when all the money is gone, they'll say, "We have a problem, 
and we don't have a magic wand that can make the money magically reappear, 
so let's not get into the blame game. Let's look forward."

...and the Democrats will say, "It's not our place to question the president."
 

       "Bart, you always suspect the worst of our president!"

Gay question

I saw an old movie with Lance Bass kissing the fabulous Emmannuelle Chriqui.
He looked like he was into it, but he was gay at the time so I wondered...

Do gay guys cringe at the thought of kissing a girl the way a straight guy
might balk at playing a Brokeback Mountain role?

I know it's a dumb question, but who else would I ask?

Pundits denounce Der Monkey

 WaHoPo

 Excerpt:
For 10 minutes, the caption across the bottom of the television screen read, "IS BUSH AN 'IDIOT'?" 
But the host was no liberal media elitist. It was right-wing handjob Joe Scarborough. And his answer to 
the captioned question was hardly "no." While other presidents have been called stupid, Scarborough said:
'I think George Bush is in a league by himself. I don't think he has the intellectual depth as these other people.'"
 

So we ask again - why is Scarborough the only guy on TV smart enough to realize that Bush is in big trouble 
and it's OK now to tell the truth about him?  The first people to wake the hell up will come out winners.
