WHAT WOULD SHAKESPEARE SAY?

Regarding the war in Afghanistan. "LORD, WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE".

Bye, bye Stanley

A rolling stone will gather no moss, but it may crush all in it's path.

A message for Gen. Stan
Thanks to Bob Dylan

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Commander in Chief

President Harry Truman fired General Douglas McArthur for insubordination. Will history repeat it's self? Will President Obama fire General McChrystal?
To preserve the integrity of the Constitution and maintain civilian control over the military, I believe that Obama should hand the General his retirement papers and send him down the road. The rightwing will howl with great indignation. Makes it all the better!

Here's what the Uniform Code of Military Justice has to say:

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

NUKE THE LEAK?

There sre some that are seriously proposing to send a nuclear device doen to the gulf oil leak, with the belief that the explosion will seal the well.

Maybe. Maybe not!

Suppose instead of sealing the leak, it opens it up more, and a huge flood of oil gushes upward, dwarfing the current leak?

Worse yet, the oil may be radioactive,and spread around the world's oceans.

Armageddon could be the result.

The Worst Things

I've been thinking of the worst things to happen to my country in my lifetime which started in 1933, the GREAT DEPRESSION.

After the depression, there were the wars. WW2. Korea. Vietnam. The 2 stupid wars we are involved in now.

Lesve out the wars and the Great Depression,the worst thing is easy. THE GULF OIL DISASTER!! As bad as it is today, it will get much worse before it gets better. How do I knoe this? Because, it's obvious that the powers that be do not know what to do. It is an unprecedented situation, and there are no books to read to learn the cure. I'm sure that all the sanctimonious fools will be frantically looking in the Bible, crying for answers, and praying for deliverance.

We may look back on today and know it was the best of times compared to where we are. It seems that there is no expert that has the answer. If the relief drilling fails, this well could spew oil until all the oceans of the world are polluted by the fruit of human greed.

"When will they ever learn"

Phoney Tony

Tony Hayward, aka Phoney Tony, CEO of BP is testifying before Congress. He is responsible for the deaths of 11 workers. The President should order the Federal Marshals to clap him in irons and drag him away to a dungeon.

My conclusion from today's Congressional hearing. BP stands for bull pucky.

HYPOCRITES PREVAIL

My observation of the day is that a Republican has a hard time saying "environment" without the shadow of a sneer crossing over his face.

TEA PARTY

Chris Matthews of "HARDBALL" fame has a show upcoming about the Tea Party titled "The Rise of the New Right". I suggest a different title that I believe has historical relevance. "THE RISE OF THE NEW REICH". Now, who will be the "Hitler" of the "New Reich"?
Nominations accepted here.

Death in the Water

Someone on tv said in reference to BP's leak:
"Pandora's well spewing liquid, viscous death."

BP LIABILITY

There is no doubt that BP has a huge liabiolity for damages to the Gulf of Mexico and all the shorelines. How about the people that gave BP permission to drill? What is their liability? "Drill Baby Drill" should become "Pay Baby Pay"
Again I say, we need to stop burning oil. Use it for lubrication. Use it for manufacturing processes. Don't burn Baby, don't burn.

NEWS FROM STALAG GAZA

Israel eases Gaza blockade on some banned foods
By DIAA HADID (AP) – 1 hour ago

JERUSALEM — Israel eased a three-year blockade of Gaza Wednesday to allow in some previously banned food items in an effort to defuse the worldwide furor over its deadly raid on a Gaza-bound international flotilla. But critics said the step falls far short of what is needed in the impoverished Palestinian territory.

How kind of Israel to allow their prisoners some of the necessities of life.

STUPIDITY

Another definition of STUPIDITY. Undertaking a very difficult and dangerous job that you have little experience in,lack of understanding of,and no preparation for the possible disasters that may well occur. BP fits this scenario.
