Supreme Court ruling cripples Guantanamo trials

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many years ago, I heard the saying that "the Supreme Court reads election returns". No doubt it is true.

Bush thought he had the Court under his thumb, and look what the ingrates have done to his Military Tribunal at Guantanamo. Some guy or gal puts on a long black robe, and suddenly they are thinking for themselves.

SHAME!! Who do they think they are?

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

."The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today"  Lewis Carroll

The more I hear and read about the election, Iraq, and John McCain (McBush?) the more I think of Alice and her adventures "Through the Looking Glass".

I believe that if Mr. Carroll was writing about McSame, or whatever you call him, the quote would be:

"The rule is, peace tomorrow and peace yesterday, but never peace today".

He opened his mouth today, and what came out sounded like the above.

 

 

June 9th, 1954-------------

---------------------------a day that will live in history.

From the infamous "Army-McCarthy" hearings, words said by attorney Joseph Welch that eventually brought down the evil Senator Joe McCarthy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

""Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. ... Let us not assassinate this lad further, Senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The courage of one man that brought down one of the most powerful and evil Senators of that time.

In the annals of freedom and liberty, the name of Joseph Nye Welch will be forever engraved in stone.

 

 

 

HOW MUCH WILL OIL HAVE TO COST----------------

------------- PART TWO.

I posted the following on May 27th. I've seen nothing to change my mind.

"I have a theory that's not pleasant to contemplate. I think maybe the folks that have control of the crude oil supply, (middle east folks) know it makes no sense to challenge us militarily, but by slowly driving up the cost of energy, they can eventually wreck our economy."

How's YOUR economy, all you folks out there? Are you happy? Is your commute running up your credit card balance higher than you can pay each month? When you reach your credit limit, then what will you do?

There is one mean and nasty wake-up call coming. Are you ready?

HOW MUCH WILL OIL HAVE TO COST-------------

----------------before people start to DEMAND that the politicians that heretofor have been in the pockets of the oil companies cease to mouth foolish platitudes and actually DO something to find better solutions to the problem than just burn more petroleum products?

During WW2 there was the MANHATTEN PROJECT to create the atomic bomb. We need that level of committment to solve the energy crisis by finding alternate sources that don't involve the combustion of massive amounts of crude.

THIS CAN BE DONE!  Where is the WILL to do it? Will it take $5 per gallon? $7 per gallon.

Does anyone care?
