Shut Up and Take It

It is with dark delight that I tuned into right wing talk radio and heard the shrill sound of complaining over the TSA’s aggressive new pat down security procedure. The “conservative” hosts I heard were questioning the need to grope women before they could board the plane. They were blustering about what they would do if it happened to their wives. They were screeching for profiling. These right wingers were really doing what they do best, engaging in rank hypocrisy. Right wingers, Republicans and other... Read article

Deja vu Iran

The drumbeats of war are beating once again, but it is not directed at Iraq this time. As we now know, Iraq was the first nation on the neocons target list. Iran and Syria are the next targets. This formula to destroy and occupy a number of strategic nations in the Middle East that is an escalating threat to Israel was drawn up in the nineties in neocon think tanks, long before September 11th. Before Secretary of State Colin Powell leaves the Bush administration, he has begun the campaign for the Bush clan to condition... Read article

Firing the Project Manager

Like the USSR in 1989, America under Bush is falling apart On The Apprentice last week, the Project Manager got sacked. “Everything you did on this project failed. You’re fired.” Everything America has done lately has failed too. Economically, militarily, politically and morally, the United States today is pretty much where the USSR was in 1989. Our country is falling apart. What if George Bush had been an Apprentice contestant? What if he was this week’s Project Manager? “Here’s the... Read article

Don’t have a cow, man. Bush won, America lost, get over it!

Sometimes I think politics is like watching the Simpson show. “I actually found a new Attorney General who is a worse civil rights abuser than John Ashcroft!” Who said that? Krusty the Clown? And what about the 2004 election? An estimated NINE MILLION Americans cast questionably weird votes. Would Montgomery Burns be that evil? Would Homer Simpson be that dumb? “If you want to find out if there are nine million fake votes,” said my friend Joe, “just tally up the voter sign-in sheets. If you... Read article

Bush Reloaded

Team America Strikes Back? It was a real nail biter wasn’t it? A horserace to the bitter end. More suspenseful than an Alfred Hitchcock film. Tighter than a Japanese subway car at rush hour. For a few dark hours it seemed as if the forces of retreat, cowardice and global tests might prevail but as the sun rose the next day it was morning in America all over again as George W. Bush and his Team America proved victorious! Team America? Isn’t that a movie? NO! It’s not just a movie; it’s a state of being! AMERICA... Read article

I am a Christian, George: An Enemy of the State

I believe in Jesus, George. That makes me a “person of interest”. I believe in kindness, George. That makes me an outcast. If I lived in Texas, people would shun me and key my car. I believe that gassing and napalming the people of Iraq is cowardly and evil and vile. Does that mean the FBI will come for me? I take “Thou shalt not kill” and “Thou shalt not steal” very seriously, George. Jesus’ creed, “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” means a lot to... Read article

Who will be America’s NEXT TOP CHRISTIAN?

(Jesus need not apply) In Los Angeles, they have a TV show called “Pimp My Ride”. In the red states they have a TV show called “Pimp My God”. Jesus need not apply. Am I bitter or what? When I was a little kid, I LOVED being a Christian. Couldn’t WAIT to go to church. I just loved all that stuff about loving one’s neighbor and turning the other cheek. Yeah right. Slowly I began to see what hypocrites the Christians around me were. I stopped going to church for a whole bunch of years. And... Read article

Accountability

“This is the moment to hold George Bush accountable for the deficits, for the loss of health care, for the loss of jobs, for the loss of America’s influence and respect in the world,” he said. Accountability is a theme John Kerry should have been thrashing Bush with throughout the debates. Kerry should have sharpened this concept of accountability and wielded it like a sword against the Misleader. If ever there was a public official that desperately needed to be held accountable for his decisions, it’s... Read article
