John Kerry

If you're one of those overzealous Democrats that think John Kerry is the savior of the Democratic party you should read this article by William greedier. Kerry's heading towards corporate whoreship in it's most corrosive form. So the only thing we're going to gain by overthrowing the Fascist-Fundamentalist Christian (as opposed to the regular Christians who are on the whole very nice folks) Shrub Administration is to replace it with a Fascist Corporate Kerry Administration that makes us happy on the less-important social issues but screws us in our ability to make more than $8.00/hour with no benefits. And it's not like the profits are being fairly distributed in the countries the jobs are going to. Those people are being paid even less and 5,000 rich guys are taking all the cash. No matter what you think about whether Nader is right or wrong, the info in this article is why Nader is running.
Book News and a Smidgen about Condi

My novel, PORTAL came in yesterday. The books look great. I'm going to see how they sell and if I can increase my site traffic. If so, I plan to sell the book online through PayPal.
I'll be out of town this week so no new postings. Get to go see Phish in Vegas as well as Vickei's Master's defense. If you're one of the people who're here because they bought a book in Vegas, Welcome, I hope you had a good show.

Real quick,

Condi's a liar.
BEN-VENISTE: Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6th PDB warned against possible attacks in this country? And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB?
RICE: I believe the title was, Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.
Now, the ...
BEN-VENISTE: Thank you.
RICE: No, Mr. Ben-Veniste ...
BEN-VENISTE: I will get into the ...
RICE: I would like to finish my point here.
BEN-VENISTE: I didn't know there was a point.
RICE: Given that _ you asked me whether or not it warned of attacks.
BEN-VENISTE: I asked you what the title was.
RICE: You said, did it not warn of attacks. It did not warn of attacks inside the United States. It was historical information based on old reporting. There was no new threat information. And it did not, in fact, warn of any coming attacks inside the United States.

See! She's a liar. Not only that, she seems to think the entire US population is dumber than a box of hammers. What's really scary, she might be right.
Oh yeah,
Check this out too! It's a picture of ashcroft made of porno pictures. Now that's a good use of free time!

Kerry and Nader

I am one of the minority of people that doesn't think that John Kerry has the right to my vote simply because the Corporate Arm of the Dems get him nominated. I have, up to this point, been a supporter of Nader. But then, at some point during the day yesterday, I heard a much better idea on the increasingly wonderful Air America radio.
John Kerry should call up Nader and offer him the job of Head of the SEC; (Securities and Exchange Commision) the agency in charge of keeping an eye on corporations. Then, if Nader accepts it, the Progressives in the party know there's someone hardcore going after the Corporados.
If Kerry offers the job publicly, and Nader rejects it, Nader's support evaporates like a glass of water on the sun becuase it shows he's not really concerned with anything other than being president, which isn't a good thing. I think he'd accept the job though, I really do. I know I'd feel better if I knew Kerry was insightful and clever enough to think of this on his own and the fact that neither Ralph's nor Kerry's people haven't yet isn't a good sign for either candidate.

Also, too many people are dying in Iraq. This is getting really scary. Please BRING THE SOLDIERS HOME! NO WAR FOR HALLIBURTON!
I Play Nostradamus

I've been saying this for a couple of months but I just wanted to post it publically so I can say "I told you so" when it happens.
Shrub and company are going to "capture" Osama Bin Laden in September or October. It'll be a big surprise so everyone pretend to be shocked.

How many people have to say it before the Republicans get it through their thick-ass heads?

Yet another report is coming out about Shrub's obsession with Iraq. Sir Christopher Meyer, the ex-British ambassador to Washington has gone public that Bush brought up attacking Iraq in a private dinner with Tony Blair a WEEK after 9-11. Balir reportedly said that Afghanistan was the priority and while Bush agreed, he used the opportunity to say that Iraq should come right after Afghanistan. I personally read a number of reports in July/August of 2002 that made it clear we'd be attacking Iraq in Febuary or March- there were about 50 nurses at the University of Chicago Hospital ICU's that can vouch for me, I drove them nuts talking about it all the time. The repeated statements that Shrub and Company didn't plan on attacking Iraq the minute they walked into office is crap. They're liars and should be put in jail.
First O'Neil. Then Clarke. Now Meyer. Wake up people. Iraq is a scam. Look at gas prices. If you don't think there's a connection between this and that, you're crazy.
Bottom line. I cannot fucking believe the people against this war are being told they're "not supporting the troops." That's a monumentally stupid statement. I want them to come home where it's safe. Where nobody wants to drag them through the streets. The people who Fox news say support the troops want them to stay in a forign country where they're not wanted and don't belong so they can get killed so we can pay 2.50 a gallon for gas and give Halliburton, Cheney, and the Christian Right a new set of silver spoons. Yeah. You support the troops alright.

Sorry about the abnormal degree of name calling, but I'm fed up with the people in this country who just refuse to see that the Shrub has no leaves.
