THE POPE OF POLITICS

STIMULUS CHECK

GLORY HALLELUJAH!!

My Bushbucks check came in the mail today! The economy is saved!!

OH,OH, I just remembered. My gasoline bill is higher than the check amount.( not really, but it makes the story, and it's probably true for lots of folks)

Oh well, borrow the money from China and send it to Saudi Arabia.

Economics, the "Dismal Science".

CUBA. IS IT TIME?

There is a tiny and impoverished island nation in the Caribbean Sea known as Cuba. U.S. politicians love to portray the Cubans as a severe and  everpresent danger to the security of the United States.

The wisdom of Aesop, the great storyteller may apply here.

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger.
Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun
said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can
cause that traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as
the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and
the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller.
But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his
cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair.
Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the
traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.


Kindness effects more than severity.

SUPREME COURT AND GUANTANAMO DECISION

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

 

Regarding the Courts decision, it would seem that 5 Justices are aware of the importance of the "essential" liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, and the necessity of applying these liberties to all people, or surely they will slowly diminish to the point that few of us will have the protection of these Constitutional guarantees.

 

The Constitution of the United States is the Holy Grail of human freedom, and must be protected at all costs.

FATHER'S DAY

I surely hope that before the next Father's Day comes around, all the fathers and sons, mothers and daughters have come home from Iraq, and no more die in this evil undertaking.

SAME SEX MARRIAGE

I think I know the problem the right-wing folks have with same sex marriage. These couples won't provide any babies that will grow up, join the military, and die in Iraq. How unpatriotic! How will McBush have his 100 year war?

We may have to bring back the draft.
