As American as Outsourcing

When a politician is up to no good, he never admits it, even on his last day. He always leaves to "spend more time with the family", never because he is a rat.

If men had babies, abortions would cost 5 cents plus 20 cents for handling, and you could get them at any pro shop.

Have you noticed that bogus leaders, whether of countries or states, take note of the People's needs, but just don't care? I think all of that bribe money makes them feel special, like nothing else ever did.

When republican politicians are desperate, but not yet serious, they quit standing still and they return to the familiar and ignorant past. The poor dears

When the dust settles, the US government can recapture it's standing in the world. It can once again become a shining beacon of Democracy. That would require changing it's evil ways in the wilds of Wisconsin and other areas. That would require thinking outside the militant box. The world really is watching.

What a Lie

The republican reps and senators and governor in Wisconsin would have us believe they are representing the wishes of republican voters in Wisconsin when they attempt to harm their families, friends, and neighbors. What a lie. Watch the Wisconsin assembly on 2/25/11 to see the opposite of Democracy.

The same thing that has always been wrong, only more so.
Why does he want to kill more than 1000 of his countrymen?
He is quite insane.

He won a few years ago behind closed doors.
What about the voters?

We have a washington court that is no longer supreme.
We have republican politicians nationwide who despise
freedom of speech and fair elections.
We have washington democrats who sold their spines

state democrats who still have what it takes,
still represent the people.
We have the wealthiest of the richest who do not yet have
enough gold toilet seats.
We have a president who uses a smile-o-meter to measure
our intelligence.
And we have united states that are still united against oppression.
How civilized.

Is the President's buddy, Rahm, a union-buster?

If the Stooges are on, it must be one of the 7 days of the week.

As long as the wealthiest of the richest do not pay their fair share, we will give up everything, including food. It'll be fun.

Will al-Qaddafi kill all of Libya and declare himself a guide of the 21st of February greatest revolution or will he give one last rambling speech? Probably one last rambling speech.

It is nice to know that while the President cut $$$ for the arts & increased $$$ for the militant budget, he still has enough $$$ for his own arts and entertainment at home. That is nice.

Scott Walker is the worst governor of Wisconsin ever. During his campaign, he misrepresented himself as a human. To celebrate his first 6 weeks in office, he is trying to destroy middle class workers. Scott Walker is un-American. As a human being, he would make a nice guppie. I'd like to see him impeached, how about you? Recall! Recall!

Slowly

Usually, a system slowly rolls up the offending freedom fighters, then slowly pushes them into flattened afterthoughts in the margin. The Sinn Fein and the Black Panthers are 2 examples. Once in awhile, a system thinks it is too brutal to play follow the leader. That faux pas will slowly trip it up later.

The last paragraph from David Africa's
Egypt: Negotiation as warfare -
Negotiation is a tactic of political warfare and the Egyptian resistance movement must realize that the Mubarak regime is using it as such. The regime seeks to use its Suleiman-led negotiations as a back door to retaining power. In doing so, to use a metaphor by South African anti-apartheid leader Joe Slovo, it is trying to prevent the resistance snowball from becoming an avalanche and sweeping it away.

Dear Gov. Kaine,
Thanks for asking for money.
A couple of things: The bail out to the financial institutions was administered in a most ignorant and short-sighted way, and your buddies refuse to ask the welfare elite for any money.
Now . . . I want YOU to give ME money.
Yes, I want YOU to give ME money.
Thanks again.

The first lines from her book "The Sixth Day":
Shaking its load of rubble, the cart jolted along the country road, with old Om* Hassan seated beside the driver.
"I'll put you down and clear off at once," he grumbled.
"As you like."
Her eyes were fixed on the horizon waiting for her village to appear with the dawn. The man had tried several times to dissuade her from making the journey. "You're all right in Cairo; what do you want to go down there for? The cholera has been ravaging the countryside. It won't be a pretty sight for you."
"I must go."

A Irish Prayer for the Dead

We remember them. At the rising of the sun and at its going down, we remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter, we remember them. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them. At the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.

We are All in This Together
