Is there intelligent life------

-------in the halls of government? Or is it a government by negative bb's?

What, you may ask, does this mean? There is so much yak-yak going around about the seeming intractable mess the Republicans have made, both at home and in Iraq. And the questions hangs in the air, "what is the Democrat plan"? Is there a plan? There better be, or we are truly governed by negative bb's. The Republicans have negative b(rains), and the Democrats have negative b(alls).

The Ship is Sinking

The rats are deserting. Andy Card, Bush's Chief of Staff is leaving. Has Andy had enough of the stench of war and corruption? How many other Bushies will start to be concerned about their future after they are all tarred by the same brush?

The gang that can't shoot straight has lost another shooter.

Pusillanimous pontification

Listening to some talking heads rambling on about the mess in Iraq, and what can the Republicans do before the election to be sure to hold the congressional seats that are up in November. 

Give me a break! These folks were dumb enough to get us in this mess, and we're supposed to believe that they are smart enough to get us out?

I am disillusioned

I remember presidents back to Franklin D. Roosevelt. As I was growing up, I would hear it said that in the USA, anyone could become president. I would think, "how can that be"? It seemed obvious to me that one would have to be really, really smart to be president.

Guess what? I was wrong.

P.S. Note to Bill Maher. You can use this line if you want.

Charges for sheriff who confiscated Katrina ice?By Associated Press
Published March 25, 2006

JACKSON, Miss. - Randy Walker says he would have died from his diabetes after Hurricane Katrina had a sheriff not seized two FEMA trucks filled with ice and distributed it to residents, many of whom had to keep their insulin cold.

Now, that sheriff could be prosecuted on charges of interfering with a federal operation.

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

In the face of FEMA incompetance and mismanagement, someone had the courage and guts to take charge and do what needed to be done. Now he may be prosecuted. If that happenes, it will be the perfect illustration of the old adage, "no good deed goes unpunished".

The time has come for the voters to show some brains and guts, and punish the fools in Washington that are ruining our country, by running them out of office.

Dubya has all the answers

It seems that the great Dubya has the answer to port security. By ignoring global warming, he insures that the oceans rise, flooding the ports, and BINGO!!  no more port security problem. Brilliant!!

"Mission Accomplished"

Well, here we are after 3 years of war in Iraq, and almost that long since Bush strutted like a poppinjay across the carrier deck emblazoned with "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banners, and infamously declared victory.

Where are we now? Deeper and deeper in the hole of immorality, death, and fiscal disaster.

Where and when will it end? Can it ever end? Bush and his gang have created for us billions of enemies that will hate us for generations. Will the self proclaimed champion of democracy for the Middle East be the death of democracy here at home?

Who can lead us out of this suffocating quagmire? The incompetent Republicans are clueless and the Democrats have no balls. They won't even back one of their own, Sen. Feingold, who wants to at least start a dialog in Congress over Bush and his disastrous presidency.

Wake up people, or "Government of the people, by the people and for the people" may be in serious danger.
