Problem Reaction Solution - Morning Ranting Coffee Posts
Written by Swanny Smith
Tuesday, 24 July 2007
For the last 6 or so years I have been active at a Forum Group called Delphi Forums. I became a Forum Owner but not sure how long that will last. I developed a Coffee Thread which were my thoughts for the morning while listening to the news or some kind of Podcasts. Delphi Forums is a hard core Right Wing site that plays at being an open Forum . If you would like to talk with me directly about any of the posts in this thread ...You can ! PROBLEM REACTION SOLUTION
My morning rant today started in another forum. Someone said something about Kerry running in 08. This is how I feel about that.
Kerry sold us out. Kerry is a Bush in finer demeanor. They are from the same ancestors. If Kerry could not beat a Bozo like Bush...what is he good for? If he could not see there was trouble then what is he good for? Kerry is good in the Senate though I would rather see him in Private law work helping the unfortunate and maybe being a ACLU lawyer. He was excellent with the BCCI scandalbut did anything really happen over that? wasn't it Neil involved there?? Neil skated.
THere has got to be a reason that Bush has been allowed to steal 2 elections. It has to be more than Diebold and ES. I claim the rise in mental drugs . There was a giant push to put people on those things. And the studies done on this is nil.
We should be in the streets in anger over the laws placed on us that strip away our rights and now GIVE us privileges...but only IF we play by their game book. THIS is unacceptable to me.
Conversation on Delphi is pretty light. Was over at PP and was told I have no sense of humor. ;)
How can a manager of a democrat forum....such as the person making the comment, say they are TIRED of the news. We are HOW close to "election" time. And this woman is dragging her heels. Unbelievable.
We can chuckle at just about everything, laugh at despair, frigging laugh until we finally CRY and we look for sack cloth to wear because while we were laughing trying to show the world how foot loose and free we are..we find we have no clothes for the emporers henchmen stole them all(for homeland security reasons)
The News of the day is another "hint" of the crap that is woven so deeply in the Politics of this Administration and the Congress. What is the News?
Federal investigators are looking into whether Weldon used his influence to help Solutions North America secure lobbying contracts worth $1 million from foreign clients, two people familiar with the inquiry have told The Associated Press.
The company is run by Karen Weldon and Charles P. Sexton Jr. Sexton is the Delaware County Republican Party Chairman and a close friend and adviser to the lawmaker.
Weldon called the timing of the raids suspect.
The Mantra of the GOP has been the same"Who Me? The Dems are doing this aren't they??"
Maybe they are , maybe they aren't ......smirk...its about damn time.
King George proclaimed himself by signing into law a bill that gives him the ultimate say on whether you have the right to know what you are being arrested for. We better keep Georgie in a good mood
It reminded me of a Twilight zone with Bill Mumy. The child had ultimate God abilities and not the wisdom to know how to use them and was very selfish in how he used his powers. Why, he could simply make people disappear if he didn't like what they said or did.

Well,
happy, happy hump day to ya! (smirk) I was told it was Thursday not Wednesday.
If I don't get a good night sleep soon I don't know. It messes up my thought patterns . Gives me extra days.
It wouldn't be all the garbage being shoved down our throats that is making me toss and turn..oh NO.... gasp.
I am thankful it is Friday. I am not sure as to why I am thankful it is Friday. It must be conditioning of some sort :)Those years in school yes, as kids we were always so celebratory on Friday. Why were we happy except the fact that we didn't have to get up early to go to school. We had 2 TV stations, no movie theaters, no malls, no TIvo ;) NO internet. No computer games...to play other games you had to find a "special place" that had such games.How DID we survive??(chuckle)
I grew up in Cocoa Beach /Cape CanaveralFlorida. The majority of my childhood had been IN Florida and most in Cocoa Beach.
I had seen all space shots from the beach( in elementary school) We walked to the beach for every space shot during school hours. My Father was also in the Space Industry so at home it was more of the same Space Race coverage.
Beyond that, we had very little to "occupy" our little heads. I used to draw cartoon characters and design clothes...my teachers said I didn't pay attention in class so my parents stopped supplying me with "supplies " to draw. I read quite a lot. My Mother complained about that also. If I wasn't reading, I was playing by myself in the woods or at the beach....sometimes swimming..sometimes in the woods watching the ocean . The Dunes and the woods looked out over the beach in those days in Cocoa Beach. Their were abandoned houses 3 of them that we ended up hanging out in during winter months. The Police ALWAYS were running us out of there.We kids considered it a sacred clubhouse and we had quite an imaginative history about the plantation. I wish I had pictures from that house that over looked the ocean ..my home away from home. It was torn down in 1975... so were most of the woods I played in . When I came back in 1995 for a visit ..there were no woods left.. The woods that built my dreams and my imagination.
There were 2 game rooms that were public. Most of the game rooms were for Hotel Guests only. They tended to be quieter and we snuck in to play a pinball machine in the hidden area where they were. The other one I frequented was on the Pier. The Pier was a kid hang out. We generally were not allowed to go to the Cocoa Beach Bowling alley... My Parents said there were drugs there... I really do not know where they came up with such insanity..but the Bowling alley had really pitiful arcade games. Sure I went there..Why?? Because it was a "bad place" like I said the games were bad and the bowling center wasn't kept up well but..they had a busy bar ;)
Here is a picture of the pier after Hurricane Jeanne 2004

Good Morning Everyone.
I am low on coffee so will be low on my morning post.
I heard this morning that the ozone hole is now as large as the United States. Not a very pleasent topic.
I should be looking at the Morning Sunday Propaganda Shows.. "Meet the Press" ect. HAHHAHA Fox Sunday ;) Just kidding. Don't be nervous.
Instead of that I have "America Freedom to Fascism" Running .
This is Aaron Russo's video. I do not know who Aaron Russo supports . I am always interested in ways to SHOW displeasure that are non-violent. The stark truth is there are fewer and fewer ways to get our points of disgust across with out being subject to being enemy combatant material.
**
Determined to find the law that requires Americans to pay income tax, Aaron Russo (THE ROSE, TRADING PLACES) sets out on a journey. Neither left- nor right-wing, this startling examination exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America. Through interviews with US Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents, tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between....
One of the highlights is Ronald Reagan talking about an Unamerican Tax system
This is the "Director's Final Cut" authorized version of Aaron ... all » Russo's documentary, America: Freedom To Fascism (AFTF). It is being uploaded to Google Video for the first time during the evening of October 19-20th, 2006. Aaron has listened to everyone's feedback -
volunteers, students, lovers of freedom & liberty, young and old alike - and, true to his word, he is putting this up "for free" on Google Video knowing that the hour has come for Americans to either be awakened to restore the Republic or be swept aside by the dark global forces of fascism that seeks to enslave mankind.
AFTF's main focus comes in a statement with six very simple words: SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM!!
After viewing the movie, please be sure to visit http://www.freedomtofascism.com where you will soon be able to view a much higher quality "pay per view" Internet version of AFTF, buy the DVD and sign up as an affiliate to sell/distribute DVDs to others.
We also urge everyone to be sure to sign up as volunteer, register for email alerts and tell your family, friends and neighbors about this groundbreaking movie.
Had a homeless woman stay the night last night so I was up early. Was a little nervous about her in the house.
She had been a customer years ago and she is a Mother of 2 children..both Children now wards of the state because they were living in a car. One child is now placed in a Boot Camp and I always liked her young boy and I worry for him in that situation. She told me that the Boot Camp does not allow family contact for 6 months..Why are they subjecting him to this?? Why haven't they placed the FAMILY somewhere. So much for family values in Florida.
She went off to college this morning. She has a grant to go to college but she hasn't a place to lay her head so after she was robbed by the last person that gave her his couch... I let her sleep on our couch.
Then I got on the computer and found THIS interview
STEPHEN GREY: Well, funnily enough, I was first told about renditions by a man who became the head of the CIA, Porter Goss. He was then a congressman and head of the House Intelligence Committee. And he told me -- I asked him whether they would find a way of capturing bin Laden, and he said, “Oh, this is called rendition. Do you know about this?” And I said, “No, I have not heard of it.” He said, “It’s a way of bringing people to a kind of justice.” And that really set me on the trail to uncover this whole network of prisoner detention in secret.
AMY GOODMAN: And so, where did you go from there?
STEPHEN GREY: Well, when the Guantanamo Bay camp was opened up in Cuba, and we saw all those images of those prisoners there, I asked about this, and some people who are close to the CIA told me, “Look, this is the press release. This is what the they want you to see. This is where they’re taking the cameras. But you should know there’s a much wider system of detention, of camps around the world where people are being taken.”
This morning the Macaw that graces our Lanai is being friendly. Walking into the house. The cat is not sure what to think of this and I get wary of the cat and bird fighting.
I have spring fever. It feels like Spring. I feel like Spring Cleaning.
I hope the Elections bring on a MAJOR Spring cleaning..
Good Morning ... Hope your coffee is hot and lovely.
Had a Birthday party here last night so I am not up on much of the news. I have been occupied with helping out the house guest try and get her life together. Full time task.
The countdown to the elections is on. I know that because of the signs on the road and in obnoxious peoples front yards.
Living in Florida , it is disgusting. Straight party people who must think all the Noise is deflection and ruse. I mean, Florida is in tough straits. House prices are starting to fall and that is good...good for me perhaps but not good for most ,house insurance and high property taxes forcing many people to try and sell their homes in a now fast declining market.
As it is, I have a mother of 2 living with me that can not find a place cheap and safe enough to get her kids back from the State. Seems the State had no problem placing her kids but left her on the street. Where is the compassion? THe 2 year old is seperated from the 11 year old and the 11 year old has been placed in a boot camp. Where is the frigging compassion for the single mothers ?? Does the State feel that these children are better off?
This morning... I must say a really lovely one on the coast in SW Florida. No wonder the snowbirds are flocking down.
I do have bad news to report though. One of the truly dedicated activists has been murdered in Mexico
NYC Indymedia Journalist Brad Will Shot Dead in Oaxaca On Friday gunmen with ties to the government shot and killed three other people including the U.S. journalist and activist Brad Will. Five men connected to Will’s shooting have been turned over to state authorities. The suspected gunmen have been identified as two members of the local city hall, two police officers and the former justice of the peace of a nearby town. Brad Will was filming on his videocamera when he was shot in the stomach. The sound of the shooting was captured on his camera. A protest is scheduled outside the Mexican Consulate in New York this morning at nine.

I am having coffee. Is it too late for you?...too have coffee that is?
I am always amazed at what is being talked about and the spin that is spun about things that are meaningless ....and the loudness that ensues over things that really are meaningless in the smallest scheme of things.
I have been watching this administration embroiled in what appears to me as being a huge money laundering scam, and running the country like the mob in the prohibition era only hi tech.
As a matter of fact, it is so complex that it simply amazes me.
I read the other day that the State of Florida was given $33 billion dollars to help relationships in Families.........
On the other hand, I personally have found out that there is no applications for those "families " for housing if they are homeless. The children were taken..one in foster care and the other was placed in a boot camp while the mother was kept homeless. How is this relationship being strengthened with HER children...
So who is watching where this money is going?? As in the toll authority here in florida...no one is minding the mint and the thieves are carting it off and TELLING us they are SERVING us but we are serving them .
It illustrates something I don't think I've ever fully understood before. Bush listens to the 101st keyboarders and believes their delusionary drivel. In essence, the nation is being led by Limbaugh, Powerline and Michele Malkin.
If that doesn't scare the hell out of you, I don't know what will.
when taken together, show that the administration is more concerned with the appearance of governing well than actually governing well.
I guess this one was the exception that proves the rule. Of course Bush and Cheney and all the vicious morons who run our country get their policy as well as their message from the 101st. The 101st calls them "heroes", and "visionaries", and most importantly, "real men", which is really what this is all about and always has been. You're watching grown ,men who never really became men by fighting in or renouncing war being told they are the manliest men. Bush jerks off to Power Line -- when he can get it up
I know there are many sections of the country that are jubilent this morning and unfortunately most of Florida saw another crooked election but..that was a given. No one around my neck of the woods expected a real election.
I live between Bush Compounds on the west coast of Florida. Huffman Aviation is someplace I go by on a frequent bases. Kathy Harris was my Rep, Who could dream of having a REAL election in this type of elitest atmosphere?
Well. How is everyone doing? I am hoping that now the Dems have taken back the Senate and the House that some of the railroaded bills will be reversed. I have a feeling that is just wishful thinking.
Pre - election, I heard now Speaker Pelosi say that impeachment of the President wasn't a goal. I also heard that from Howard Dean. I am very disappointed...VERY disappointed. I hope they are just "kidding"
This morning I heard an interview with Tex Marrs who has a new Book called The Terror Conspiracy. I found it FACINATING. It will only be avail. online for 2 weeks but I may have recorded it and will offer it up again when I get to it. Just remind me...If you missit and do not download it just remind me and I will try and find it in my massive amount of info I save daily. Anywho, the 2 week only interview on The Terror Conspiracy HERE
Did you know that one of the brokerage houses that profited from the collapse of airline stocks immediately after 911 had been chaired by A.B. Krongard, who was executive director of the CIA?
that was the blurb that got my attention.
In the meantime, controversy over the Florida elections are still boiling over. Like always, the fix was in and it was in Sarasota County FL. Yes, Kathy Harris' old seat was the bone of contention yet again. If you are interested in the happenings regarding another fixed election I have been keeping on the news about it HERE That is the link to my home away from these forums.
Just before the elections ,Google bought out Youtube video. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Do you think it is a way of censoring file sharing a little more? I know I use both you tube and google video on my site. I have figured out the bots to use. I have used the formats available and so far youtube and google are the best for streaming video on a web site...out of 6 types..only 2 work well.
I also am a sponge for news. I have files...boy do I have files of all sorts of programming. I have used google and youtube to upload but some files...well, I would rather not have them out there so much so I use 2 other file STORAGE sites to share programming here. One is located at www.zshare.net
It will store them but not offer them directly to the public. You can though because they give you all the codes you need to link people to it. Then...is my favorite because not only can you share infor but they give you an actual space to direct people to. Mine is located at www.putfile.com/swannyinflorida
Ok, we had the elections and now everything is at a stand still. No one is talking about the Military Commissions Act or the Patriot Act. I did hear something about Leahy talking about re installing Habias Corpus. Other than that I suppose everyone is ordering NEW Stationary and envelopes.....and PENS...we can't forget the Pens.
Has anyone ventured onto www.google.com and personalized the homepage? First, if you haven't, do it but as I found out...you can overload it- so , here are my hints. Use the tabs for storage so you can find all the stuff when you WANT to find it..otherwise it is too much like work and the page becomes useless.
I have also noticed that there is a lot of censorship going on with ALL the search engines. I have also seen more entrapment appearing on the web than I know how to deal with. I find it disheartening to be researching subjects only to land on blatant CIA operations harvesting my IP. I really am a bit more than ticked.
What makes this story amusing to me is that we have many Freepers on Delphi.... I have also noticed many of them missing and I wonder is all those names are really THIS twisted man.
Swanny is suffering with a pinched nerve so I am not to nice and chipper. Johnny resting up from a heart attack ....Ah , we are a healthy bunch!
I saw that the talking points that had been slow in coming out of the RNC but it has as one of the lunatic Wingers is asking "Where is the Change?" I suppose he isn't aware that the shift change hasn't happened yet.
I do wish Murtha had gotten the majority leader seat but perhaps he can be a burr in the position he now has .
The coffee sure is good even though it is afternoon.
This year, I am missing my family's holiday get together. It is generally a sad affair with my own family. Mother doesn't eat at home and has to go out on Thanksgiving and I always considered that a sad way to spend the holidays that were at one time cheerful......in an odd way(in my youth) I have missed the holidays for most of my adult life and grew used to doing my own thing. But that was when I lived more than a days drive away. Now, I am 4-5 hours away and I still find excuses. Most of the time, it has been money , transportation or the sniffles. I refuse to pass on to the unsuspecting , a cold or what not so you could say I am respectful of others health over the holidays and at other times.
You will never find Swanny at any type of get together if she is sick. Don't you wish others were as considerate?
I remember attending a party at a fellow church goers house. We were having a great time playing guitars and singing...then somebody, white as a sheet and coughing came in and said they wouldn't miss the party for the world...it was like the plague entered the house and all at the party came down with this sickness for the New Year. Happy NEW YEAR..... nice guy!!
Now we have Thanksgiving and all the get togethers that can be will be. I urge all that are sick to stay the frig HOME....
It is weird that the liberal press isn't or wasn't talking about this at all.
Not paying taxes is the only recourse( short of marching on the White House and Pentagon) but once again it takes us to the same 3 doors that lead to the same end....unfortunately. What I mean by this is : No one in government will be hurt by missing a paycheck. That is not the case with the programs that remain .Most people on programs really NEED the assistance and are never allowed to save up for that rainy day of government interruption.
Our hands have been bound.
Rising up -makes us terrorists and combatants
protesting -makes us terrorists and combatants and gets our names and faces put on file.
not paying taxes - gets our propertys taken away and bank accounts frozen and may hurt the most fragile in our society.
We know as a whole the government isn't kind hearted. I have never heard of Congress passing on a pay raise and putting it into the Social Security Fund instead.
Wanderering and Wondering who is going to step up to the plate for the American People...I Don't know anyone who would WANT the situation Bush has put us in. Once again , Bush has us in a situation that is lose/lose/lose. No matter who "wins" there is no way out of the quagmire that Bush and Co have erected. And "they " know it.
On a Brighter note. The American Music Awards were dreadful. Johnny is correct when he says we are a Nation of Nostalgia.
I am back to being disgusted by the music industry after seeing that Awards show. There was very little originality in the "winning" lineup.I was not surprised that Jamie Fox won the big enchilada. He was the only talented one up there and that was a shame.
My thought today is : When did Insurance become a "must have"?
Years ago , to lure people to work for corporations instead of being self employed , Corporations offered health insurance, like a carrot.Along with that carrot, they said you would get paid sick days, a pension to retire on. "THEY " would take care of you.
It lured so many away from a more self sufficient lifestyle til very few were left not being cared for by the Corporate Pimp.
Somewhere along the line. The Corporate Pimp said that this was no longer a benefit and instead they would "help" you with your insurance.
And somewhere along the line , Insurance became a Must Have not just a nice benefit provided by large Corporate Pimps. And small companies that are family owned have to compete with the Corporate Pimp and offer Insurance at a higher cost to them then the huge Corporation.While the small business man has to go without.
The coffee is hot. Though...it is almost empty. Yes, my cup isn't almost full it is almost empty. It sure does look nice outside. I am hoping to be able to hobble out there soon .
Right now, I am listening to the broadcast at www.unknowncountry.com oh, this isn't political.....then again, perhaps it is. Now, I will let you know it is about UFO sitings.
I know, I know. You are thinking I have flipped my lid. Being a NASA child I am aware we are not alone. Space exploration is fascinating. This sets some of my Liberal Friends on edge because of the great needs that exist in our country. GW Bush hasn't been interested in NASA. His Whitehouse told the head of NASA to not discuss the ravages apparent from space that the astronauts saw. They are only interested in space for one world government reasons and I do not want to be under that type of government.
n Thanksgiving eve in a rough section of Atlanta, three police officers executing a no-knock search warrant killed 92-year old Kathryn Johnston as they broke into her home. The warrant authorized a search for drugs based on an earlier undercover sale in the house by a young man.
The victim had burglar bars protecting her front door. When she heard the men breaking in, she opened fire with a pistol. The police, better armed, shot and killed the woman.
For "safety" concerns this practice was done away with and I never gave a thought to illegal apartments. However now the law is re-allowing this practice.
If everything is so peachy in the USA what is the increased earning in Depression Drugs coming from. I know the Doctors have been pushing it hot and heavy and those mind drugs are not little simple pills they play major havoc on your brain functions.
and then I see this and while I knew this was the case I have never seen it also in print.
Below are a couple of passages quoted by Arthur Koestler in The Ghost in the Machine published in 1967:
“Here at our disposal, to be used wisely or unwisely, is an increasing array of agents that manipulate human beings… It is now possible to act directly on the individual to modify his behaviour instead of, as in the past, indirectly through modification of the environment.” – Dean Saunders, of the San Francisco Medical School, at the Control of the Mind symposium (1961).*
The next quote was preceded by a discussion about the potential use of tricyano-aminopropene to cause an “increased suggestibility in man”.
“The author is [referring] to any substance inducing changes of biologically important molecules in the neurons and the glia and affecting the mental state in a negative direction. It is not difficult to imagine the possible uses to which a government in a police-controlled state could put this substance. For a time they would subject the population to hard conditions. Suddenly the hardship would be removed, and at the same time, the substance would be added to the tap water and the mass-communications media turned on. This method would be much cheaper, and would create more intriguing possibilities then [voluntary introduction methods]” – Hyden at the Control of the Mind symposium (1961).**
maintainance hasn't been kept up in Bush Corps Most Esteemed Military ,"be all you can be"Equipment. Why not? Why is there all of a sudden a request for MORE money to do repairs that should have been going on all the time.
Support the troops to Bushs Congress has been just more money to syphone off to more Bush Cronys...they Say they support troops while we , the people that see the farce, are told we do not... They have been funnelling money into their own pockets
Not only is this happening but no one has really brought this up on Capital Hill for fear of being designated against the troops. The forces that are swift boating EVERYONE that has some backbone....Who can we look to that will not be brought down by the NWO?
Any ideas who can really LEAD us through this quagmeir?
I hope you want to be part of the Solution and not part of the Problem.
Today I ran across a post else where about Fat White Girls w/ ghetto boys.
The post went on to say this was a problem.
It is a Problem. Let's talk about the Problem. The problem is THIS was thought to be "Cleaned up" and not a racist ,bigoted statement. I am not talking about the Ghetto boys comment..they were smart and put a KKK hood on it but left the racist remark in it by referring to the girls color not to mention they have other hang ups regarding the SIZE of the girl. One mans fat is another mans pleasure, ya know.
So now let's look at the ghetto boys comment. I happen to know several men that have heavy"white" wives. They are not living in a ghetto. They live in gated communitees.
The Problem here is not being able to see all of us Born in America as Americans. We are all humans..most of us are Mutts. Yet we have these Factions that have a hang up about Pure Breeds. I think you have to BUY a pure bred.
It rained all evening and through the night so I missed the meteor showers. Should be more this evening. When I heard we were going through the asteroid belt it made me wonder a bit more about the Shuttle Launch. They really HAD to launch it. I do not know why it was a MUST do thing. But I could tell watching and listening to NASA. After an entire lifetime watching NASA I did notice this NEED to launch the shuttle. I was happy when they postponed it for a day. But they did launch it ASAP. THEN , I heard about the heavy meteor showers and I heard that about the same time I read they were doing a space walk.
So what is really being implemented in space that they risk more Astronauts for. I read and heard that the Atronauts were going up to do some rewiring. At that time ,I wondered "rewire what?"
The article didn't say. The next day on a podcast I hear they delivered a huge cargo...a couple ton cargo I believe they said.
With all the stuff going down in the ME ...I wonder if THAT what was causing the URGENCY
Did I cover the word Tolerance ? If I did ...;) I guess you can fast forward.
Tolerance means that you do not like something some one does and you tolerate them doing it. But it means you disapprove first. In this Christmas Season, I have been in alot of Religious Threads. Most of those threads were ways of baiting ...People like me. I don't tolerate..I accept our differences. Diversity is one of the things that make our Country great. I can accept the fact that people can not see the power of "God" in their lives as I do in mine. Many times, that thought is not even "tolerated" The fact they do not see something or understand something , does not make my experiences go away nor my thoughts go away. Having said that , I see this battle going on but it isn't really on a spiritual level unless you consider a battle of good and evil one of the spirit. For my views are also distant from the Fundementals. I am not accepted there Nor Tolerated and that is ok also because I DO believe that broad is the path of destruction.
So, I ask if Christmas hasn't turned into a times of only trees,lights and gifts with all the bills that are included and all the debt Seems like such a burden for so many people and Christ said his burden was light. So why is this extra heavy load been laid on us?
Christmas just days away and Freepers actually getting antsy on Delphi coming out of their post election trauma sleep. Re energizing for the 08 elections. You would think their families would keep them too busy to be pounding away at the keyboards like the tiniest rabid dog ...but no. I have had one that added 150 posts in one day to me ..just me..in another forum. Most of the posts were regarding my intellect and my honesty. I must truly scare a Freeper because this is not the first Freeper that has come along and actually TRY to Swift Boat me..like I have any importance at all. Scary.....they are the Presidents BASE. I believe they all have developmental disorders AND behavior and mental disorders. Many are on Mental health drugs and copletely delusional...that has become the GOP base and many citizens just look at it as political games. No these people are mentally ill. Otherwise the truth would be the ONLY thing that they would CARE about, Our COUNTRY would be what they care about..Not what BASEBALL TEAM is going to win the Presidency in 08 We need to cut the crap that has encased the Bush dynasty, lay it right out in the open because if it is not exposed we will have another Bush running..maybe not in 08 but in the future. We need to stop that family now while the Pile is still steaming.
Hahaha, good morning everyone. Christmas just around the corner. I never had anyplace to use my Bah Humbug Cat. If only I had a large tree for this cat to bat around ornaments ...and get into trouble !
As everyone can see, I haven't been to UP on recent News and have been posting "old" stuff. The reason is...many of the stories from yesterday have laid the foundation of the crap that has taken place over the time I have been alive.
Someone that came in here as a jester(meaning he played like he wanted to respond) when he told me that sometimes you find that you just think your connecting the dots when all you have is dots.
I felt as if he was a government apologist. I have hung with bikers for a large amount of my life and I find most bikers on this forum to be bogus,frauds and fakes. Not all but a large portion. Then again, that IS the nature of the internet.
That being said, I am off to get myself ready for my luncheon date with my sister and her husband.
I was up late turning PDF files into readable files for forums and of course Invenice. THe government likes to use PDF files. It is hard to quote from them unless you have the software to turn it into usable text and that I have :) I have placed the links in the Reference Folder for y'all to gaze at at your convenience :)
I am not upset at all that Gerald Ford passed away. He was a sell out and the things he did paved the way for the garbage that has gone on in THIS administration. Ford allowed the crimes to be swept under a rug with his pardons. What do I expect from thugs.
James Brown, however, will be missed..even Eddie Murphy doing James Brown...it will not be so funny. Of course , Eddie is BEYOND that type of skit these days. I love the Hot Tub skit.
"hot tub, Too HOT!"
Upsetting is the fact that his live in companion, a woman, is being denied entry into her home. Of course, no one knows what his "handlers" had James Brown sign. Crooks around artists ...thick as thieves.
Yesterday, I watch a light hearted episode of Hugh Hefners great life. Great for him.....the great Alpha dog. He has pampered his blonde pooches called models. From what I saw he now has 2 sons that are aching to run the magazine...he even added he wanted to keep it classy and not like hustler mag but...Hustler has been coming out with the "articles". Remember when guys said"tongue in cheek" that they read the articles in Playboy? If a reader of Hustler tells you that"believe him" Larry Flint has been "on top" of the article scene. The Fundies really rattled his cage some time ago and pay back IS the B**ch.
There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself. --Senator Daniel K Inouye
You will never truly understand the magnatude of what is going on until you understand that 9-11 was an inside job. It is as simple as that. Until then you walk in complete utter darkness and even your point of light can not pierce it. Miss Swanny

First...enjoy the Sunrise. The beach is lovely at sunrise. I enjoyed sitting on the beach ,having my coffee and taking in the bread of life. Well , where I am now , I get sunsets and unfortunately rarely get to the beach to watch them. While all the tourists are down and the part timers..there are few parking spots available anyway. I can't walk to the beach where I am now and that is too,too bad. A walk on the beach is good for the soul.Can put you in touch with the almighty ect. I can't help being a Florida Girl, Sand between the toes. Is it any wonder that I ran back to Florida when I needed some solice?
The problem with getting out of the mainstream is jumping back in it. Being "out of practice" on things. For instance, I used to be a pretty good homemaker. Fairly exact in what I did. Had menus, grocery lists, days of cleaning rooms, windows, gardening,shopping with coupons and refunding. Sounds funny doesn't it? Oh and I sewed and macramed. Well, I no longer do any of those things and on ocassion I feel good enough to start planning something but I just am "out of practice"
By the time I get around to it I have lost the desire ....
So it also has gone with the music. There I have my real good days and the days where I just pound out ideas on the keyboard. But writing lyrics...phhhshaw out of practice.
I saw a couple good movies last night and in the old days those movies would have brought 2 songs at least out of me.... UGH!!
I have a Christmas Coffee that was given to me as a gift from my coffee loving sister. Bless her heart.
Walking a little better today but I certainly don't want to stress it out. The cold is being pesky but not real bad yet and hopefully it will fade first.
Saddam dead, Bush dances..he hopes this will untarnish his halo somehow. With Ford dead..there is one less mouth open to spill the beans regarding the real government.
I am hoping there is no attacks on any US area as a reaction or maybe as a planned plot to escalate things.
The buzz is about Animal Relationships with Humans.
I have always had a "thing" about animals. I love them. I love them except when they get into the garbage. As a kid, I loved going to pet stores. As an adult, I can't BEAR it. Too heart Breaking for me. I want to SET THEM FREE!. Same with the lobsters in the grocery store.
On another forum a poster tried to chide me for eating meat. I have to admit that if I have to kill an animal that would look me in the eye. I don't think I would be able. I saw a poor woman kill and skin a rabbit just as I would shuck an ear of corn. She made it look simple enough but...man, I don't think I could do it.
Let's hope for a better 2007 and a 2008 that is GOOD for all of us.
I don't know if any of you caught Dick Clarks New Years Rocking Eve. I did. I felt SO BAD for Dick Clark. He couldn't even count DOWN any more and while I commend him for learning how to speak again as well as he has but I really felt BAD for him. Here is a guy that has been "counting down" his entire life and now THAT is gone. Maybe 2008 will be better for him.
Hahaha, I am listening to a prediction show and someone just said his prediction is crop circles appearing on the White House lawn. hahaha, that would be rich now wouldn't it?
One of my predictions will be "More of the Bush Administration will leave to "spend more time with their families""
Has anyone ever noticed that excuse for leaving. I tell you that just shows how much for the "family" this administration is doesn't it (smirk)?
We are getting ready to be smacked down by a storm here on the West Coast of Florida. Looks like it will be a massive swamping....Ah What a NEW YEAR's Day!!
America's trade deficit is evidence of its economic vigor and promise, not a cause for concern.
Every night on CNN you claim to speak for these people. They are America's middle class: decent folks who work hard and play by the rules but who, you insist, are abused by the powerful elite. Free trade is one of the policies allegedly supported by the elite and for which you reserve special vitriol. You thunder that imports destroy American jobs, reduce wages, and make the economy perilously "unbalanced."
But you are mistaken.
First, some basic facts about the state of middle-class Americans. The US unemployment rate now is at a healthy 4.5 percent. This rate is lower than the average annual unemployment rate for the 1970s (6.2 percent), the 1980s (7.3 percent), and even the high-growth 1990s (5.6 percent). Inflation, meanwhile, is running below the average for the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Here's more good news for ordinary Americans. The percentage of Americans who own their own homes is higher than ever, even though the size of today's typical home is larger than ever. Workers' leisure time, too, is at historically high levels. And jobs are just as secure today as they were in the late 1960s, according to a research paper by University of California-Davis economist Ann Huff Stevens.

Seriously, I don't think the writer of this letter really read any of the economic papers.
Does everyone have their coffee? I am on my 2nd cup. I hate posting when I am asleep still.
My head still reeling on Equifax taking school kids life info on what they like, think, drink, games they play ect not only to use that info to entice them into military service bit to also market them out on our great capitalistic society of stores. Thinking of the resulting havoc is mind boggling to me folks.
Do you see this is a Problem Reaction Solution at work?
Already everything is tied to a credit rating and the kids today are tied to one before they even get out in the real world. The biggest database in the world.......good GAWD!!
Oh I have been up for awhile but this pain is killing me and the Ibuprofen isn't doing the trick. When the nerves are involved , nothing really helps.
Today when I read the newspapers..today it was the NYDaily News...yes, I know it is tabloid news, but the story wasHungry for blood Teens in Queens killed for food, police say.
Never do they talk about the food recovered and they do mention them homeless but come on. A hungry person will shop lift. A hungry person will eat and run at a restaurant. A hungry person doesn't necessarily steal credit cards although you can buy food with them now but a homeless person has no where to prepare much which is why this story ..while it is true they have been living without their parents support....what was their real motivation? A life of crime to sustain them? I noted that the victims were not Caucasian...non Americans- one korean and one latino. While they might have been easy targets, if I was going to murder someone...it would have to be worth it. You know what I mean?
I remember a shop owner, the family had a family owned music shop.I had asked them to order something for me and they did and I paid them with a check and they didn't ask me for ID.They told me bluntly that they were not worried about me risking jail time over a small amount. I wish more people felt like that actually but that is a dying trend I am sure, as more and more people want to "pull something off" for the sheer joy of it like these 2 young fellas in NYC.
We have been under Chemtrail skies for about 2 weeks. This morning is no exception. We also have been on fire alert since the moisture in the air is low . Just yesterday my OH was complaining about getting shocked at the grocery. Being a Southerner he wasn't aware of the conditions being just right ...cool + dry + metal = ZAP. Why am I mentioning Chemtrails? It is like ASKING to be chastised. I mention it because of a weather report I saw the other night talking about a reported Earthquake and a News Report regarding Military exercises out in the gulf. Our last earthquake in the Gulf was about the same time(within days) that the oil companies found this new treasure chest of oil.
These are not the first reports I have heard about Humanity caused Earthquakes. Bad enough we have natural ones...the "caused" ones are unacceptable. Simply unacceptable.
The Bible teaches about Wars and "rumors of wars" ever wonder why that was seperated out? Does it sound like drum beating? do we fund the "rumors of war"? Or are we only funding war. Perhaps THIS is the rumor..the rumor was it was a war for justice against an attack on us.
How do we know where the money goes? The soldiers have been joking about the tin cans the Forces have supplied them with to "promote Democracy" by rifle and video game like bombing. What if the money that is suppose to be going to our armed forces are really going to outsider contracting companies? Does that make a difference? While our sons and daughters are led to slaughter. How about if that money goes to the building of Concentration Camps under the guise of Homeland Security? Should that concern us?
Should it concern us that not only are we a war economy but we are also an incarceration economy?

Pentagon auditors have questioned $212.3 million -- about 13 percent -- of $1.69 billion that a Halliburton Co. subsidiary charged the government over the past few years, mostly for importing fuel to Iraq under a no-bid contract.
Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), a longtime critic of Halliburton's large contracts supporting U.S. troops in Iraq, released summaries yesterday of five audit reports that the Defense Contract Audit Agency did of work performed by Kellogg Brown & Root in 2003 and 2004. Four of the five reports covered contracts to provide fuel. In one case, the auditors challenged 47 percent of the $28.7 million in spending.
Waxman said Congress still has not seen audits covering about $800 million of KBR's work under the no-bid contract to supply fuel and restore Iraq's oil fields.
There also have been questions about KBR's performance under a separate giant logistics contract to provide troops in the Middle East with food, shelter and other supplies. Auditors found $1.8 billion in "unsupported costs" in $10.5 billion in billings from that contract, which KBR won by competitive bid.
Here is an old article. Oh and on Sept 10th Rumsfeld was being questioned over the trillions of dollars missing from the pentagon fund...the area the auditors were in were in the area that was blasted on Sept 11th.
Good Evening....or maybe Good Morning for some of you.
I still have a cup of coffee going so ... :)
I feel like I haven't done my usual chat here for awhile.I had myself spread a bit thin trying to keep up with life AND the news.
You know, everything is moving very quickly.
Since 9/11/2001 so many things have been implemented. It is down right scary! Not only that but it has been a real BEAR to discuss much except ...You racist LIBBIE this and YOU stupid Neocon that BS. That seemed to be all the noise out there in various forums that seemed to be allowed...Talking Current events.
I think that is a sad State of the UNION we have had since 2001.
Then the last election came and the Liberals were happy and the Right Wing jackasses shut up...speaking of Jackasses..I see the Mule stepped into the room. Oh I can't wait to read HIS pearls of wisdom.
Anyway, as I was saying the RW kind of disappeared. Then a few of the nasty wingers were melting so because they thought they would receive the same treatment received by anyone that disagreed with this current administration.
As of last Friday, the madmen and women are once again out in force . Still spewing tired 40 year old news or at least 10 year old news while completely ignoring many things both past and present.
I must say it really boggles my mind. I understand the reasons behind it. I know I got absolutely sick to my stomach when I realized all the manipulation that has taken affect. I really can't blame anyone for doing so. However, I don't believe there is an American out there that wouldn't like to know that the people in the White House do not care about them. Haven't for a long time.
There is a recent review of published studies which suggests that enthusiasm over the miracle elixir should be kept in check, as the side effects are more troublesome than magical.
The review is published in the current issue of the medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine, and suggests that HGH provides few of the advertised benefits for adults who are healthy. “The Safety and Efficacy of Growth Hormone in the Healthy Elderly” is available on the Web at www.annals.org on January 16.
30 years ago I might have bought into all that but I had the privilege of of watching a few women get all nervous about losing their looks. I noticed they just stressed themselves out .
Special report: Global fight against bird flu
TOKYO, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- The bird flu virus that killed about 3,500 chickens in southwestern Japan last week was determined as the highly contagious and lethal H5N1 strain, Japan's farm ministry said in a statement Tuesday.
According to National Institute of Animal Health which conducted the test, the H5N1 detected in the poultry farm in Miyazaki prefecture was very infectious and virulent.
The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry confirmed the cause of the chicken death as avian influenza on Saturday and had the rest several thousands of chickens in the farm culled during the weekend.
In an effort to find the infection routes, the ministry will examine possible genetic similarity of the H5N1 virus detected in this case to those found in other parts of the world, Kyodo News quoted ministry officials as saying .
There has been talk of this being a pandemic for a long time. Do you think there really is anything to worry about?
Seems they want us afraid all the time....who is the "they" that want us afraid? Who is the "they" that squashes information networks? All I know is "they" is not ME.
Oh Boy. I can tell it will be a fun day. Up at 5am,parrot screaming now....Chilly wind and it might give up some rain .
I swore I would never talk about anything American Idol...I swore it.....damn it!! but then the past couple days it seems the media is obsessed..first with the notion that entertainers DRINK and get drunk or tipsy :) Where did these writers come from?The Producers of the news that don't know that some people in the "Industry" drink..... LOL I am sure most of you have seen Paula Abdul not feeling any pain on a talk show the other day. If not, don't worry. It isn't really important. What IS important is the way Society is being structured thru these innocent "incidents". Think about it. In the 50's and early 60's everyone had a cocktail in his/her hand AND a cigarette in just about every movie frame and tv show. Dean Martin and Foster Brooks made a living portraying funny drunks. And we all love a funny drunk, for awhile...as long as they go home with someone else :) So lately we have had Mel ,Danny DeVito and now Paula and all have been chastised like they were Gods somehow and never allowed to let loose. Who would want the fame if all it was going to do is bring you heartache(the theme of every great song!)One thing Paula Abdul said DID make me chuckle. It was something about how American Idol made the record industry legitimate ;)
AS IF!!! Anyone that believes that has got to have a hole in the head.
So what got me on this mode of thought? I read an article on Donald Trump and then ran into an article about the AI Junkies that audition on a consistant basis.
What really bothered me about the article was that the journalist really came out of a Right Wing Jounalism bank. Why do I say this? Because of the blind sided jabbing at peoples dreams and what people will do to achieve a goal. In this case, it is a silly goal but HEY...at least they have one. The writer also didn't have a clue to what it takes to give a good performance. He even made fun of auditioners running off to an empty hallway or bathroom to practice like they were cramming for an SAT . I guess he has never heard of warm ups.
Very few People can just come right out of the gate without a warm up and be great. I know in my own experience that when I had a show the first set was specifically geared to be a warm up. On these AI auditions it is said they listen for 30 seconds and you either strike a good chord or you are out. There are a few exercises I know of that if you have 15 minutes you can warm up sufficently.
Anyway, this writer seems to think that those that try out repeatedly are nearly insane. How many people truly succeed in anything the first try?
And anyone that thinks the Record Business is where they want to be needs to retink that idea.
We have a better chance of finding gold in our backyard than getting a good contract and distribution from a record company. The only thing it helps with is getting your music played on Clear Channel....which BTW is refusing to play music that mentions War.
Looks like Rain for Florida. Could be worse. Could be snow...or Waterworld for that matter.
It seemed such a long time ago that I was "into" radio contests. Do you know where I am going with this?"Hold your wee for wii" It is true these people at the radio station watch way too much South Park.
According to a tape of the show, the disc jockeys appeared to joke about the possible dangers of consuming too much water and alluded to a college student who had died during such a stunt in 2005.
"Yeah, we're aware of that," one of the disc jockeys said.
Another disc jockey said: "Yeah. They signed releases, so we're not responsible. We're OK."
"And if they get to the point where they have to throw up, then they're going to throw up, and they're out of the contest before they die, so that's good, right?" another disc jockey said.
and the story goes on to provide a transcript o f the Station DJ's talking to the woman as she was dying...laughing and taunting her. Is this what our country has evolved to? People that shout to others on a cliff "Jump!" Doesn't anyone see the evil here? Even Jerry Springers Show wouldn't endorse this.
I saw that people lost their jobs over it but isn't it really a problem of what it is to respect another?
Don't you just love people that cuss you out on these forums because ...well just because- I don't think they need a reason. Sure we have the battle of the Trolls but what happens when this person is NOT a troll and is a regular member of a Forum?
I had someone tell me to "get a life" actually , this is not the first time on Delphi someone has made that statement to me I have one great on line life and I had one heck of a life inthe reality world..where ever that is these days.When I am hassled about "get a life" ect it makes me wonder why that person wants me to vanish? I am used to the animosity from the trolling RW instigaters but what about those that are now starting on me from the Left Wing. Very disturbing. This ...is also very disturbing to me
The child died after eating baking soda . Many things jump out at me from the story.
The child was malnourished almost 3 yrs old and 17 lbs.
Contra Costa County prosecutor Harold Jewett doesn't seem to have a clue
Investigators were told that in the late evening of Dec. 6 or in the early morning of Dec. 7, Deonna reportedly got out of bed, walked to the refrigerator, opened it up and took out a box of baking soda and started to eat it.
Ok , this is what I see. A little one getting up in the middle of the night with enough intelligence to get to the refridgeratir for a nibble is not so helpless that with holding food would keep her at 17 lbs. She had enough knowledge to go to the fridge and eat from it.
Crazy statements from the county prosecutor include:
Jewett said that the fact that the child had access to baking soda and reportedly ate enough of it to kill her was not in itself neglectful.
"Leaving baking soda open (in a refrigerator) is no more neglectful than leaving table salt out in the open," Jewett said. "Was she malnourished? Absolutely," Jewett said. "Did she look like a kid from Ethiopia? Not even close."
I say the state of Pennsylvania is afraid to look at THEIR Family Services and see the holes in it.
>> 7-year-old biological child told police that Pugh had regularly withheld food from Deonna as a form of punishment, according to the coroner's report. Jewett, however, said that the boy was the only person claiming that Pugh withheld food and that other evidence led him to believe that Pugh was trying to get Deonna to eat food.<<<
Yet the prosecutor says the son was the ONLY one to make that statement....DUH!!!
Investigators from Nokia, one of the world's largest cell phone manufacturers, flew out to Vallejo, inspected the phone in question made by their company and convinced investigators that the phone didn't spontaneously combust, as fire officials initially said.
What, exactly, caused the fire remains a mystery.
Authorities had said the bizarre fire had started in the pants pocket, and the only item they found there during an investigation was a cell phone.
"There were no matches. There were no lighters. He wasn't smoking. The only source was the phone that was in his pocket,'' Vallejo Fire Department inspector and spokesman Bill Tweedy had said Monday. "I know he didn't spontaneously combust."
** Remember when there was a bunch of spontanious combustion stories? I wonder what happened to them all.
Dont you wish that this was the Bush in the White House?
easy to control...I wonder if we could make this a bobblehead? Actually, Bush is too easy to control unfortunately , not for the people of the USA. For us , he has no love and shows us contempt.
For this mornings chuckle at madness....being in Florida, I pay attention to the glacier melt ect. If it came on quickly , I would be a goner along with many , many others. So I ran into a story with the wildest quote ever....
“Here in Miami,” Dr. Leatherman said, “we’re going to have an ocean on both sides of us.”
Look at that shoulder bone. She could stick somebodies eye out with that thing. Well this lovely lady is suing because someone printed that she was anorexic ......oh heavens no. Smirk...everyone can tell she eats at McDonalds everyday.
"The article made reference to what it perceived to be Ms. Knightley's very slim appearance," Smith said.
It "carried a photograph of Ms. Knightley, taken without her consent, whilst wearing a bikini and relaxing on a beach on holiday," Smith said.
Hmmm, I can imagine how that photo looked. A sea urchin on the beach.
So can someone tell me why females and some males have developed to a point where their bodies fail to alert the person that they DO need to eat and they DO need to thrive. I never knew anyone with this affliction so I guess I have lived in good places. Maybe it is because I never liked Barbie that much..I always liked Midge.
Archaeologists and historians have known for years that an ironworks operated in the area. Heavy rains late last year caused flooding that cut a new channel along the creek's banks that exposed the ruins.
The base of the furnace is submerged in several feet of water and can be seen at low tide, officials said.
The Powhatans attacked the furnace settlement in 1622, killing all workers. By 1624, the site had been abandoned.
Sigh, blame it on the victims...lol
Back to the present
Waterbird species are in decline . Yes , in school we were taught that the seas are the most important part of the life chain. Reports have been coming out about overfishing and the death of the oceans,fish species declining and now waterbirds declining because of the fish and habitat destruction.
There seems to be no end in sight.There seems to be no common sense only DOLLARS and Cents which isn't being good stewards of the Earth. We are told to be afraid of terrorism. When the seas are declining ..that is the only terrorism that is real.When the climate is changing and no one is allowed to really talk about it..that is Terrorism.
Nearly half of the world's waterbird species are in decline, mostly due to rapid economic development and the effects of climate change, according to a global survey released Tuesday.
Aren't there laws to cover the destruction of coastal habitat? So who is bending the laws and who is going to take them to court for STEALING life from the rest of the population?
Deborah Reeve got a cold, a cough and a fever that wouldn't go away. It was more than two years after she had left recovery efforts at ground zero.
A month later, the nonsmoker was diagnosed with mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer. By last spring, the 41-year-old mother of two was dead.
"My wife got killed on Sept. 11 and she didn't die until March 15, 2006," said her husband, David, a paramedic like his wife who also spent months breathing in toxic dust at the World Trade Center site after the 2001 attacks. "She got killed and didn't know it."
I see HRClinton was speaking to the media about Ground zero. When is she going to speak up about this being an inside job. She would have my vote then..anyone that would step up and tell us like it really was would have my vote.When is she going to talk to the PEOPLE. Is she running to be President of the MEDIA or President of the United States?
Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks to members of the media during a news conference in front of ground zero Monday, Jan. 22, 2007 in New York
After more of the same from GW in the Sotu last night....I can only say that I will not benefit from any of those plans but someone might. He can not balance the budget while escalating a war and cutting Corporate taxes and eliminating some of the major taxes on the wealthy. Not going to happen. Also 90,000 more soldiers? From where? The prisons? We gonna send our worst and scariest to the "russian front"?
I did enjoy the Webb response though he still didn't slap GW as hard as I think he deserves it.
The Libby case is very interesting. We the People have a lot of old media to mull over and look at the testimony and see the avalanches of lies that the White House has invented to cover their assets and asses.
Denial of service attacks have been pretty heavy on the internet yesterday and today making the net extremely doggie. Yes, this was warned about...they do not want us talking about the truth on the net.
I need some cream and sugar with that coffee please.
I spent some time going through History video last night. I love that kind of stuff. The Nixon years was what I was into. My Parents LOVED Nixon. He did end the war in Vietnam. Being a high school girl , I only cared about ending a war that had been going on since my toddlerhood. All the stuff about Watergate was just "The Leftists" and "commie sympathizers" bringing down a GREAT President.
LOL, what brought me into looking at this stuff? Well E Howard Hunt died:
Yet the bulk of his notoriety came from the one thing he always insisted he wasn't -- a Watergate burglar. He often said he preferred the term "Watergate conspirator."
"I will always be called a Watergate burglar, even though I was never in the damn place," Hunt told The Miami Herald in 1997. "But it happened. Now I have to make the best of it."
While working for the CIA, Hunt recruited four of the five actual burglars -- Bernard Barker, Virgilio Gonzalez, Rolando Eugenio Martinez and Frank Sturgis, all who had worked for Hunt a decade earlier in the Bay of Pigs Invasion.
All four also had ties to Miami, where part of the Watergate plan was hatched.
"According to street gossip both in Washington and Miami, Mr. Castro had been making substantial contributions to the McGovern campaign," Hunt told CNN in February 1992. "And the idea was ... that somewhere in the books of the Democratic National Committee those illicit funds would be found."
In 2006 Daniel Ellsburg came out talking about Watergate.
EXCLUSIVE: Nixon White House Counsel John Dean and Pentagon Papers Leaker Daniel Ellsberg on Watergate and the Abuse of Presidential Power from Nixon to Bush
On June 28, 1971, Ellsberg surrendered to face charges of espionage. Henry Kissinger would go on to describe him as "the world's most dangerous man" and the Nixon administration made attempts to ruin his life going so far as breaking into his psychiatrist's office with the hope of uncovering incriminating information
***
Is this where the Swiftboating REALLY got its start?
ANd John Dean has become a very vocal critic of GW Bush. The parallels are there folks.
Listen to this piece of testimony from Erlichman (another player in Watergate) See how much he sounds like the douchebags of today.
Anyway, enough about coffee and baldness. I don't think I will ever have a baldness problem ANYWHERE.
Wasn't there talk about coffee and its negative affects on Alzheimers or something like that?
Today , I heard the LIMBOT talking about Hillary carrying on like a school girl. I thought Rush would like to see Hillary without her armor up. Egads, you can never please Rush Limbot...Never.
Oh man!!!! They have found that if a certain area of the brain is injured that it controls the urge to smoke and now they are thinking of offering this service up to the unsuspecting public..."here Honey, for 3 grand let me injure your brain" I wonder what other functions are also going to be eliminated for injuring the "prune sized area " in the brain.
"Yeah, Martha doesn't say much or DO much any more but thank heavens she isn't smoking"
Sure, I know smoking isn't all good. There isn't much in life that is "good " for you.
After all the talk about second hand smoke being bad but ....how many housing developments are built right on a highway or freeway? Lots of them.
For some reason the powers that be think that by erecting a wall between developments and highways that that is the only thing they need to do. I say they do not build these things that close to the freeways but the LOCATION,LOCATION,LOCATION rules always seem to apply to the dimwitted.
All we want is Some Kind of Buzz
Come on, admit it.
We go to great lengths to “relax” or to get some motivation.
I am a Coffee Person.
I just can’t get it together without coffee.
Some of my best writing is under the influence of “Joe”
Joe is a great friend of mine.
Having declared my love of Coffee….
I see that some scientists have developed caffeine doughnuts and bagels. Can you imagine someone having a couple laced doughnuts , had a double latte and popping a couple No Doz?
Excuse me for trying to balance some humor with everything else but I have to. I work on a lot of subjects that fry me. So in order to keep some balance I NEED these coffee days where I am not waking up screaming .
As it is, a lot of Humor in times like these truly speaks the mind of the people.
Satire is sometimes the greatest weapon there is.
It is how we will survive.
Had to cough up a few dirty pennies for Verizon as a call came through letting us know our business line was down. I never recieved a cut off notice. I did receive a bill yesterday but no notice......hmmm
Sent my OH off to pay the water bill as I did get the cut off for that. Rent due in 2 days and now we SERIOUSLY don't have it. Swanny is concerned,
I worked all day yesterday which is why I wasn't on here speaking my mind. I am part timing myself out and I use my computer to help out 2 small business owners.
I think all service companys are slow lately. A friend of mine in NJ is also slow..he owns a service company. We are the ones that feel the squeeze first.
I have been following the Libby trial as much as I can. It's to bad that they can't bring more than one subject at a time into trial because this corruption is rampant through out the White House..probable cause is there to try the entire bunch of Pirates.
I am just now listening to my Morning Juice and heard Olberman talking about the bogus SOTU speech which is a mandatory duty of the President.
I don't think they(founding fathers) realized what a real fucked up President and his coup could actually do to America. ..if only it was JUST THIS President.... but that would be too easy. He has team players on both sides of the political isle and unless the shadow government is uncovered and exposed we are ALL living a lie and have zero control. ALL of our lives.......based on lies.
BTW gang, I have a PT job that requires my typing fingers so if I have been bad about adding my personal touch ..just blame it on the need to make some additional money.
Soap Box 
I have one great on line life and I had one heck of a life inthe reality world..where ever that is these days.When I am hassled about "get a life" ect it makes me wonder why that person wants me to vanish? I am used to the animosity from the trolling RW instigaters but what about those that are now starting on me from the Left Wing. Very disturbing. This ...is also very disturbing to me
that this was the Bush in the White House?
Glaciers Flow to Sea at a Faster Pace, Study Says (February 17, 2006) 
I need some cream and sugar with that coffee please.
Good Morning !
