Ocean's Bounty is Gone

one of the saddest things i've ever read. am i an alarmist? people who say i am an extremist can go jump in a cesspool. that's what the human race has created. 6 billion people and what has the human race become? bipedal swine. endless ravagers of all things good and plentiful. wastrels who cloak themselves in hypocrisy.

How Much Is Enough?

In the battle over how many troops are needed to keep the peace in Iraq, one thing is clear: Republicans are just as guilty of wearing rose-colored glasses as we are, the"give peace a chance" granola-eating anarchist segment of the population. How else to explain the administration's grossly underestimated figures? Rumsfeld dismisses the notion of "hundreds of thousands" of troops as "inaccurate." There are now 160,000 troops in Iraq, and most analysts say we need more. How much closer can you get to "hundreds of thousands" and still be inaccurate?

In addition, Wolfowitz of Arabia said the Iraqis would welcome us with open arms. Maybe that was true on CNN for about five minutes, but I think the Iraqi people's goodwill has probably run out, after being invaded, bombed and desecrated in the name of "liberation." And he was positive that other countries, including France, would be glad to help recontruct and police Iraq. Well, guess what? Apart from our "new Europe" friends, we don't really have any other volunteers, and we really don't want any. And we're pretty sure we don't want the U.N. stepping in to help us.

So, America, who is going to foot the bil but us? Maybe everyone who derided us as unpatriotic should consider volunteering.

Bush Off on Road to Europe 'Old' and 'New'

What's up with "old Europe" anyway? Why can't they get with the program?

But seriously, folks, the terms are as useless as could be. It's like, anyone who disagrees with us is "old" Europe, and anyone who agrees is "new." Who made Bush the King of Europe, anyway?

I guess Karl Rove did.

Now here's a "most wanted" card deck i'd be proud to carry in my pocket. Includes Henry Kissinger as the Queen of Hearts, Dick Cheney as his King, and of course, Dubyah as the Joker.

So Much for the Peace Dividend: Pentagon is Winning the Battle for a $400 Billion Budget

The Pentagon's own inspector general recently admitted that the department could not account for more than a trillion dollars of past spending. A congressional investigation reported that inventory management in the army was so weak it had lost track of 56 airplanes, 32 tanks, and 36 missile launchers.

Intelligence Agency Does Not Distinguish Between Terrorism and Peace Activism

"I've heard terrorism described as anything that is violent or has an economic impact, and shutting down a port certainly would have some economic impact. Terrorism isn't just bombs going off and killing people."

Instant-Mix Imperial Democracy (Buy One, Get One Free)

It was Herman Goering, that old Nazi, who said, "People can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.… All you have to do is tell them they're being attacked and denounce the pacifists for a lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
