I BELIEVE...

I believe:

Bush did 9/11.

President Kennedy was assasinated by the CIA or FBI.

Paul Wellstone was assasinated. John John was assasinated.

Ann Coulter was once a man.

Howard Dean is a leader, but the Democrats won't listen to him.

The Senate Democratic leader should be a blue-stater.

LETTER TO NANCY PELOSI

Dear Nancy,

Which dimwit picked an unknown governor named Kaine for the response to Bush's idiotic State of the Union speech? I've been a Democrat for 72 years, and Kaine and I have no -- and I mean NO -- common ground except we're both Democrats.

This red neck moron, pro-war, repuke-lite jerk from a red state of morons -- and he's speaking for ME? What's wrong with you people?

CAN IT GET ANY CRAZIER THAN THIS?

The AP has reporters who publish items where they quote people not mentioned in the item. Evidently the Capitol police has a woman named Hadley who thinks people should dress appropriately when listening to an ignorant, psychotic, lying bozo deliver a lie-laced, destructive line of BS called the State of the Union, when he can't even spell "union."

And we have three more years of this guy. Making Bush a Unitary Executive is the height of insanity.

SAME'OL, SAME'OL...

It's the old same'ol same'ol all over again. Mr Brains did it again. Five State of the Union speeches or, rather the same'ol speech five times.

"We're winning the war on terrorism, democracy is on the march, freedom is on the run, the economy is booming, security is tight --" over and over again. While we listen this this crap, we're sinking in the quicksand.

Bush has no ideas. He's "shot his wad." He's never had an original thought in his life, no wonder he's a Republican. America is stuck. We're stuck with a Jethro Bodine in the White House, a corrupt legislature, a Nazi supreme court, a judicial department that's crooked, and a confused, leaderless, Democratic party, which probably would do nothing to change anything even if it was in charge.

Three more years and the dems will run Kaine.

TWO GOONS

We have a general named Hayden who can't read. He's in charge of all the snooping into our lives. He argues with a Knight-Ridder reporter about the Fourth Amendment, which states the phrase "probable cause." Now, this Fourth is a short paragraph and easily read, but this dimwit is only reading the word "reasonable"-- another con man from the defense department.

Point One: Hayden knows what the amendment says, but he's going to con us. Any honest administration would give this jerk a dishonorable discharge. What a jackass.

Point Two: Mr Brains in the White House thinks an election automatically means democracy. He's repeated this several times. When the Hamas won the election in Palestine in an overwhelming victory, Bush forgot they're not his friends. When the Shiites won in Iraq that means an IslamTheocratic victory. The Sunnies are the ones that are secular, he calls them "Tairsts."

Can you imagine another three years of this goon ?

PEOPLE

All in all, we would be better off if Saddam Hussein was still in charge in Iraq. What G.W. Bush has done is screwed up the whole Mid-East. Too bad he didn't overdose on cocain. He announced he wanted democracy in the Mid-East. Well we have it, and all the people who are winning their elections are the ones who hate our guts.

When the Ottoman regime failed, the Brits installed King Faisal in Iraq and he was a Sunni. A baathist, he ruled, and was replaced with Baath people, ending with Saddam, and Iraq was secular. Our best bet was a secular Iraq. The last thing we needed was democracy based on a religion, because it isn't. One of the most compelling reasons to impeach the chimp is for getting rid of Saddam Hussein

FORTY YEARS

If Sam Alito is confirmed, and Roe v. Wade is reversed, the Republican Party will be roaming aimlessly in the deep wilderness of politics for forty years. You would think they would consider that, but kissing ass is their specialty, not thinking.

Look at their priorities as they pass budget items, giving tax-breaks to the wealthy, as if the wealthy had put them in office. Both parties suffer from short sightedness. Once in DC, they forget who put them there.

Does Diane Feinstein think grassroot Dems are going to vote for her after she's voted with the R's and hugs Bush every day? Does Hillary think grassroot Dems are going to vote for a pro-war Dem? I have news for these ladies. What you sow, you reap -- what goes around comes around -- the pendulum swings in both directions.

TWO MEDIA WHORES

Chris Matthews and Tim Russert are somewhat sickening. They have made it big by right-wing apple-polishing, sucking-up, and kneeling with their tongues out, waiting for people like Ann Coulter and Ken Mehlman to drop in.

Both of these rats started out with democrats, Chris with Tip O'Neil, and Russert with Daniel Moynihan. When Nazi General Electric grabbed NBC, Jack Welch, head of the company, called both Chris and Tim in and asked, "You want to make it big, dump your beliefs and become an ass-kisser -- that's how we make it on this side of the aisle."

The game at NBC is, of course, to cover George W. Bush as he trashes America. Welch has retired to the golf course, hoping his prostate gland cancer doesn't kill him. Cynics refer to Matthews as "Tweety." I don't know what they call Russert. Timbutt, I guess. Matthews is on MSNBC playing "Hardball" and Russert kisses Repug ass on "Meet The Press." Both are as phony as a three-dollar bill.

Matthews has panels on his show manned by only right-wing nuts preaching the gospel according to Joe Goebbels. Russert has people on who're connected to his son, and likes to pat his own back every chance he gets.

Cable news is an electronic National Esquire.

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

Everyone over 12 knows we have a right-wing psychotic president, a corrupt right-wing congress and a fascist supreme court. Fifty-five million Americans voted for Bush. Everyone knows GW Bush is a walking talking menace -- everything he touches turns out bad.

We have a voluntary army with no new volunteers, even the saps are catching on. GM is closing 12 auto plants, they can get their cars built in India for a buck an hour instead of 27 bucks an hour. Delphia is cutting wages from $27 an hour to $10. Ford is laying off 30,000 auto workers, they can get their autos made in India too.

Think of all those auto workers, how many have voted for Nixon, Reagan, Bush l andBush ll. We have a infinite number of Targets, WalMarts, MacDonalds, and Sears paying $7 an hour. When those plums are picked where will the rest go, on welfare? Only corporations can go bankrupt; the little guy can't go bankrupt via chapter 7 or chapter 13. They must pay, but with what?

Have a nice house, 400 bucks a month, how do you pay the mortgage? Sell the house, but to whom? No buyers. Yes, capitalism is wonderful, and the republicans have us by the throat. It's called Fascism.

AL QAEDA

Al Qaeda consists of two grandmothers, two alcoholics, and a kid. Viewing al Qaeda as a vile Islamic group like our Federalists, and Osama bin Laden as Darth Vader is the joke on us. Al Qaeda may be totally imaginary. Bush and his pals did 9/11. No Arab hijacker piloted any airline into the towers - those airliners were controlled by a box in the nose and controlled by remote.

The towers came down straight, their 16-inch I-Beams were cut by explosives. Building 7 wasn't even hit by aircraft but, amazingly, it came down straight too. This was an inside job, and Bush agreed to it.

NORAD was ordered to stand down on 9/11. America has suffered a coup d' etat. It started in November 2000, continued through the elections in 2002 and 2004, and we're seeeing the final steps with the confirmation of Judge Sam Alito and Bush declaring himself a unitary executive, which means we're not a republic anymore.

All our elections will be manipulated. We have no hope with our system any longer, maybe we never did. We the people must join together to organize a party that includes amending our constitution, fixing our congress and changing the way we appoint supreme court justices.

THE SUPER PERSONS

In 1896 there was a lawsuit appearing before the supreme court -- Santa Clara County vs. Union Pacific, a corporation. The corporation won. The result was that corporations attained the same rights as persons. They aren't citizens but they have the same rights and they're protected by the first, fourth, sixth and fourteenth amendments.

They can't be indicted as criminals. They're super persons. They can't vote but they can pay real persons for their votes. Corporations have mostly been rotten and, since being viewed as persons, they have been worse. The supreme court has mostly been rotten too. It's time for another revolution, and this time corporations will not be persons, and the supreme court appointments will be six years.

We should have no life appointments to anything.

FEMALE POWER

American women have a terrible power over men, and men dislike them for it, but they hide it. The ones who don't hide it, brutalize their women physically. Men must have women for their sexual needs, they can't live without it, it's the core need, more important than food.

Even gay men consider their partners as their wives. Generally, a wife can get anything she wants from her man, because he knows he's going to get paid by what he must have. Often she will leave her man if he can't provide what she wants, she find another and pay him off when he comes through.

I know of two couples where the women disagreed politically with the husband and in a year the men switched. Both were told, "Your political beliefs turn me off." American women could take over by demanding their men fix our country or stay lonely. They have the power, and they shouldn't forget it.

AMERICAN WORKERS

America has always hated its workers. Since the Industrial Revolution, when our economy turned from agriculture to industry, the workers have been hated and reviled. Throughout the 19th century, mines and factories locked in their employees and forced them to work 12 and 14 hours a day for peanuts. We had factories that had children eight years old working for almost nothing.

When the workers would strike they would be assaulted by company goons, who were aided by the police, the military, and vigilantes. Our labor history is bloody. Nothing changed within industry until Franklin D Roosevelt's second term in 1936, when the labor unions finally took a step up on the ladder.

Leaders like John L. Lewis of the miners and Walter Reuther of the autos started to exert pressure on the Democratic Party. The unions formed the CIO for industry and the AFL for construction. When I was a kid, The unions were the cojones of the Democratic Party. They were tough, and they had the scars to prove it. In 1956, the CIO and the AFL joined, and that lasted until the present day. They are no longer united. Divided we fall.

As the unions fade into history, the sweatshops will be coming back. WalMart is showing the way. Without the tough union people, the Democratic Party is a joke because it has no guts. Democratic senators are noted only by their apologies to Republicans -- criminals who should be in jail. Demos need some toughies. Women are okay but they must be Bella Absugs. The demos should filibuster every bill or nominee who's antiethical to workers, and they should filibuster and shut the senate down every time it needs to shut down.

They must be down and dirty.

THE DEATH PENALTY

I'm against the death penalty. I have two reasons:

(1) Some innocent person may get executed, but now we have DNA, which will slow some of these killer prosecutors and judges.

(2) As a penalty the death penalty is too easy. It's a cop-out. A needle in the arm isn't penalty it's an escape.

Let's take a guy who kills little girls -- he doesn't deserve the easy way out. He
deserves flogging. Killing him puts us on his level. He should be flogged every Saturday, and should be forced to work 14 hours of back-breaking labor ever day until he dies in agony. Give him bread and water, punch his face repetitively, hit him with a baseball bat, kick his ass while he's working, pull his teeth without novacaine.

That's what he deserves, not an easy needle.

ABE'S BLUNDER

Considering Lindsey Graham, Jesse Helms, and Strom Thurmond, I think Abraham Lincoln made a disastrous blunder. Kicking the Confederacy was good, letting them back in was the mistake.

All the garbage that we've taken since the civil war has come from the south. Look at the congress, most of the human problems come from the south. Most of the dummies come from the south, most of the corrupt come from the south. Bush gets most of his support from the south. It's time to correct Abe's big blunder, we should kick the south out of our country.

OUR INSANITY

Our jingoist insanity runs unabated. Our last is our Air Force bombed a Pakistan house and killed seventeen people, mostly little kids. Oops, wrong house. Someone told us Ayman al Zawahri was seen going into a house.

Ayman is supposed to be No. 2 in al Qaeda, you know, the imaginary leader who's leading the people who hate us. Killing these civilians, many of them kids, is perfectly okay to some of our senators too -- John McCain, Trent Lott, and Evan Bayh, a republican running around in democratic skin.

McCain is as crazy as Bush, every time they meet they hug. Looks like it takes one to know one. In World war l we fought the Kaiser. Everyone knew who he was and where he was. Same with Hitler. Now we're fighting Al Qaeda, but no one has seen him, or knows where he is, and I doubt he even exists. A Republican bogeymen. I'm positive that Bush didn't have a clue to what he started. The congress should act to get rid of this walking hand grenade while they have a chance.

IRAN'S ZANY LEADER

This guy Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (just call him Moddy) heads the Theocracy in Iran. Moddy's crazy as hell and he's dangerous -- kinda like our Dubya. The Brit media reports that Tony Blair is trying to get the EU or the UN to do something about this guy who laughs at Blair and our psychotic clown.

Moddy broke the seals off Iran's nuclear laboratories last week, and folks say they're moving ahead to build a nuke bomb. Russia and China are backing Moddy, he already has a missile that can reach Israel. He knows the clout Pakistan received by having a nuke bomb, and Moddy is determined to have one too.

Moddy thinks Bush shot his wad in Iraq. He knows our voluntary army is too small, it can't get any more recruits, and Moddy is not afraid of either Bush or Blair. Moddy is a humorous guy. He openly laughs at Bush and Blair, and thinks Israel should be in Europe or in America.

Moddy is the neocon's living nightmare.

WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?

The American electorate, maybe 110 million, has maybe 28 million "Crazies." The rest are sane, reasonable, somewhat apathetic Dems, Reps and Indies.

Since 2001, the Crazies have been in charge. Two of these Crazies landed in the White House, and the US media is afraid to say anything. The Crazies are controlling radio, cable news channels, and filling op-ed sheets with know-nothing right-wing idiocy -- with lies and mis-information. They have plunged us into a quagmire without an exit.

George Bush talks about democracy, but he means oil. If Iraq had been a "cake-walk," like Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz promised, Bush would have had us in Syria, then Iran, then the Emirates, then Saudi Arabia. America has always been a refuge for the outlaws, and now the criminals have taken over.

Apathy carries on, the current flow of who cares? I talk to my neighbors, they don't care. My daughter's neighbors -- they don't care either. And they don't care because they're Republicans. They're worried that a gay couple might marry, they don't care that the neighbor's kid has just been killed in Iraq.

Think this is new? We Americans have been dumb for years. We're dumb and we're mean. We're the bullies of the school yard. We're second to Britain in making war, but we're trying to catch up. We fought Britain twice, we've fought in Cuba, we fought the Filipinos, the Mexicans, the Panamanians, the Koreans, the Germans twice, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Vietnamese, the Canadians, the French, Granada, and now, Iraq.

They're racist, fascist, stupid and phony. They're Republicans -- and they're in charge.

A RAVING MANIAC...

Our army is getting its butt kicked in Iraq, and the commander-in-chief is a maniac. A narcissist psycho who knows nothing because he loses it when he hears something he doesn't like.

George Bush lives in a dream world, but he's not the only one. His pals live in a dream world too. In the first gulf war, the Iraqi army was no match for us and, when it was defeated, Iraq suffered nearly 12 years of bombing and enbargoing by Americans, mostly killing children (thanks Bill).

Yes, Iraq was easy pickings in both gulf wars, but they're fighting back. Neither Syria nor Iran will be pushovers like Iraq. Iran has a gigantic defense machine, a navy and missiles poised on the mountains overlooking the the Hormuz Straits. Syria and Iran are also supplied military by both Russia and China. Iran has controlled missiles that fly at 5.5 mach that can destroy large navy vessels, and we have nothing that can match that.

In a war with America, both Russia and China would back Iran, they couldn't care less about Israel. An overworked right-wing mantra in the world is dangerous. Well yes, and if we don't behave ourselves, it could even get more dangerous.

Americans should learn not to vote raving maniacs into the office of president.

JOHN MURTHA

I'm not a great fan of John Murtha. He made himself a hero by advocating a redeployment, but that's because our butt is being kicked in Iraq. Murtha loves the military, and everything that comes with it. You know, you have a country and a flag, and you put your children in uniforms, and other countries or religions put their children in uniforms, or maybe not, and the old men watch their children kill each other. It's a sorry country that can only offer employment that entails killing the "enemy."

I notice Bush is "enemy" this and "enemy" that. Also, "winning" is the most damaging word Americans use. The soccer coach only uses a few players because he must "win." All the other kids who want to play just have to sit and watch.

This is a sickness. I'm ashamed of America. We could be great, but we're not, because of the John Murthas, and we have a Republican Party, and they're nuts. We're Number 1. I wish we were Number 8. I'd feel better. And more American children would be alive.

COUNTING OUR LOSSES

All you can count on is that all we're going to be handed is BS in large amounts when we're dealing with the Pentagon and the CIA. The count of our troops dead is what -- 2,200 ? Really ? That's 2,200 dead soldiers killed by the resisters.

How about the troops killed when a chopper crashes? Not counted.
How about friendly fire? Not counted.
How about accidents? Not counted.
How about explosives? Not counted.
How about traffic accidents? Not counted.
Our aircraft shot down? Notcounted.

Our body count isn't 2,200, it's more like 9,000. When we're victims of professional bull-shitters like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Dr. Rice, we can count on being lied to.

I liked the Clintons because they were Democrats. They could have been better. Hillary thinks she's going to be our nominee in 2008, but she's dreaming. Her stance on supporting Bush's war is a big blunder -- doesn't she know that 70% of the voting public thinks the Iraq war is indefensible?

Bill could have been more progressive, but what do you expect from some redneck jack-off from Arkansas? Still he was intelligent, unlike this banana eater we have now. Bill would never have made the colossal blunders that Bush specializes in. In fact, George Bush is probably the most unintelligent president of any country in history. You can fill a 9 x 11 page of paper with Bush's blunders listing just the ones in 2005. I mean, this guy is a talking, walking menace.

Bill's problem was keeping his fly zipped. Gore couldn't salute Bill's eight years because of it. Now we have Bush-lite Hillary in the senate, and Bill kissing ass with the Bush crime family.

BROKAW AND KOPPEL

You're in your recliner watching the tube, listening to maybe Tom Brokaw or Ted Koppel. You think both of them are looking at the TV camera but they're not. They're reading another TV screen, giving you what they call "news."

Brokaw worked for NBC, you know, General Electric, Reagan's old TVchannel, you know, Jack Welch. Koppel worked for ABC, you know, Disney, some clown named Eisner. These two guys know nothing your neighbor doesn't know. They know squat, but they're famous, so they show up on Meet ThePress, you know, Tim Russert, another Welch flunky.

Tim got his marching orders from, guess who? Jack Welch. These three numbskulls analyze what's going on in Iraq: "Oh, Clinton would have invaded Iraq too," forgetting that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
