My latest prediction

That Bush will “win” and then be impeached — if not run out of town on a rail! Someone just asked me what my latest prediction is. “As of today, who do you think will win on Tuesday?” My prediction is this: George Bush will win. Why? No-brainer! Even as we speak, members of the George Bush fan club who are willing to do ANYTHING to see that their guy wins have been embedded in positions of influence in every electoral board, registrar of voters’ office and secretary of state staff in America.... Read article

I Want REAL Hope

That when gas costs $46 a gallon, America will still shine The future scares me. I want reassurance. “Yes, you will always have a charge card and, yes, there will always be a mall.” I get that reassurance all the time but that’s not the reassurance that I need. I’m not a fool. I know that we can’t go on spending the earth’s resources and living on peak oil forever. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER IT’S GONE!. This is the reassurance that I crave: “No matter what happens... Read article

We Need An Insurgency Right Here

American Charade The charade American election of 2004 is another profound disappointment, a wholly nauseating spectacle being pimped as the greatest democratic exercise in human history. For anyone not trapped in the Democrat/Republican cage, this skull & bones minstrel show enrages. It is as offensive as it is uninspiring. The Evildoers hate us for this? I can’t stop laughing! If the Evildoers hate us for our democratic process, well, more power to `em! Imagine what some Iraqi people must be thinking as they... Read article

No Child “Left Behind”

Code words for a children’s cookbook? Remember that Twilight Zone episode where the aliens arrived on Earth and presented our leaders with this glorious plan for the planet entitled “How to Serve Man”. Well. In the final scene, “How to Serve Man” turns out to be a COOKBOOK! For those of you familiar with the “Left Behind” series of books dealing with cult Christian longings for Armageddon, you will immediately recognize no child “Left Behind” as code words too. According... Read article

Prediction

When Bush loses there will be MAJOR document shredding at the White House How do you delete a hard drive? Karl Rove had better find out fast! He should call up Richard Nixon’s secretary and ask her how to erase audiotapes too. “You just accidentally hit the erase button with your knee.” When George Bush becomes a lame duck, the only sound you will hear in the West Wing will be the whir of the document shredding machine. Lists of people who made illegal campaign contributions? Gone. E-mail wisecracks about... Read article

Out of Gas

America needs to start THINKING about what happens next According to James Howard Kunstler in a new video entitled, “The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream,” when the world’s oil supply runs out, American suburbs are doomed. Without gas, suburbs will become “the slums of the future.” That’s a dreary thought. Bush is always telling us that Al Qaeda is about to jump our bones. Now this futurist is telling us that suburbia is doomed. Where is the good news? Who... Read article

Murder By A Better Name

Blood Roses As President George W. Bush once again revealed to us in his debates with the other warmonger from the left Senator Kerry, that the forces of freedom and democracy are on the march but we still face a determined enemy with “hatred in their hearts;” we are also presented with the contradictory images of a Iraq in complete chaos where the “ripped apart” bodies of men, women, and children are left in the streets of Iraq in a pool of blood, bones and brain fragments. Saddam’s Iraq is... Read article

Video: Control Room

Excellent documentary that takes a look into the Al Jazeera network When President George Bush declared war on Saddam Hussein and his regime, 40 million Arab viewers were watching Al Jazeera, the most popular news outlet in the Middle East.

The network has been... Read article
