9. I get so miffed
at people who are apparently content to maintain an uninformed existence ("I'm not into politics"), then they get angry that they were lied to. It is a citizen's responsibility to be INFORMED (as much as possible) to PREVENT things like the Bush administration from happening in the first place. I feel very little sympathy for these people who are just now realizing that they've been screwed royally. Where the hell were they in 2000? In the autumn of 2000, I had a list of reasons a mile long as to why we shouldn't let Bush in there, for cryin out loud, and I'm just an average citizen.

Guess I should just be glad that people are waking up. Maybe they'll see that it IS important to keep up with politics instead of "American Idol."

23. Patsified, I too am miffed, but also bewildered, and disallusioned that
countless millions of Americans who voted for W had not compiled, at least in their heads, such mile long lists as reasons not to vote for him. Forget the hard-core far-right true believers, for it does not matter to them what he does, has done, or says because they would follow him, no matter what, through the gates of hell at the prospect of having their ideology, their PNAC vision for America, implemented. Now we are evolving toward a corporatist, theocratic, police-state-type nation and society: the true-believers will never be able to be reached, but it's a shame that so many millions of swing-voters had their collective heads up their asses, it's a shame they had not compiled their mile-long lists.

18. this morning
I was feeling pretty smug for having the feeling (and belief) that W. was lying from the very beginning.

3. You ain't seen nothin yet
This -- and a host of other BS -- is gonna get a whole lot deeper and thicker as we move into Autumn.

I received this information from a "Celestial Source" who spoke to me after having conversed with the pResident, and after I removed my tin foil cowboy hat. So you know you can tRUST me.

4. I had the same thought last night after listening to CBS Radio...
I told my GF that the BFEE "had better looking into that sloshing noise down in the bilges..."

I seem to recall this is how it started when Nixon fell....Drip...Drip...Drip....

7. Thought you might appreciate this one, MoPaul.
Meanwhile, jr* stays out of harm's way in a 'predator-free zone'- home to orphaned GOP mascots, beasts wearing prison garb, and those who really stick their necks out.

10. YES MOPAUL
I heard on the radio this morning, IN TEXAS, that Condoleezza Rice is blaming the CIA for the Niger scam. So the CIA blames the WH, the WH blames the CIA. SWEET. It can get better than this but I am SATISFIED FOR THE MOMENT. If this was written in a Clancy novel it would be dismissed as utterly unbelievable!

BRING IT ON!!!!!

24. Hey UnderPants...
What happened to the pelvic-thrusting bananas that used to flank the scrolling-scowling Y-fronts? Nice to see your sig again, but the bananas really made it rock!

12. Could be very interesting
watching how things play out in the next few months, as these piggies get caught in lie after lie. They're tossing tenet overboard as a sacrifice to the angry sea gods, but it's not going to stop them. With all the networks questioning there's blood in the water, and the drip is going to trickle, now we see how trickle down is supposed to work. F.U. georgie* you're not in kansas anymore, and that goes for your ugly old hag of a momma too.

14. I'm not convinced the press has acquired spontaneous testicles
if so...

Look for more planes to fly into buildings.

16. I don't know
How many times have I hoped only to see things spin away? One more "terrorist attack" and Bush will be snug as bug.

17. Attack

I'm not certain that another attack would secure their position.
See; "There's an old saying in Tennessee- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee- that says, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me-you can't get fooled again. We know he couldn't separate and old saying from the song by The Who but, "You Can't Get Fooled Again!"

22. I know what you mean, Solomon.
I appreciate your cynicism on this one--I share that. Every time I begin to think the Bush facade is crumbling, the media whores glue it back together again. When is a scandal not a scandal? When CNN says so.

28. One more terrorist attack and he is toast
Remember - this maladministration has refused to fully fund Homeland Security, instead pouring 3.9 BILLION a month into his phoney war. If the USA is attacked now, his ass is grass.

This in today's Richmond Times-Dispatch. I'm amazed and delighted.

The MEDIA now think its a 'sexy' enough story, that they will be on it like a cheap suit until it's played out
