O, Katrina!

New Orleans--Fucked

Iraq: An Islamic State

I want to say thank you to Democrats.com for having the guts to publish the truth about Iraq. I have said this earlier myself. All George Bush's little big war has done is take Iraq from one extreme and deliver it to the other extreme! Is this progress? As I said earlier, also, it is easier to contain the rhetoric of one man, but it is not so easy to contain the rhetoric of a religion that transcends borders and earthly realms!

Now Iran and Iraq can be friends, at last! Thanks George Bush for your leadership!

"Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic source of legislation. No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam."- Iraqi Constitution supported by Iran-backed Shiites and the Bush Administration (but opposed by Sunni leaders)

"Fortunately, after years of effort and expectations in Iraq, an Islamic state has come to power and the constitution has been established on the basis of Islamic precepts. We must congratulate the Iraqi people and authorities for this victory."- Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, head of Iran's powerful ultra-conservative Guardian Council

Iraq v. WWII

Iraq, let me compare thee to a world war fought out of necessity, against an aggressive terror....

Yes, George Bush can compare the war in Iraq with that of WWII. Of course, we are Germany in this conflict--invading sovereign nations out of our own self-invented right to bring order and liberate the weak and down-trodden from tyranny. Of course, Hitler said he was liberating the Germans in Austria; he was bringing them back into the fold. A mad man can always justify his follies!

That's the bottom line!

Transition of Power in Iraq

There is no end in sight. The Iraqis can't seem to hash out their new constitution. I believe the U.S. will have to intervene (imagine that) and tell them what to do.

Today I was just wondering how many people actually know who the current president of Iraq is? How engaged are we as a nation on this war? All we can see are the dark clouds on the horizon and they make us apathetic to the whole situation, which is bad for us all in the long run!

What the hell

Now I am being spammed in my blog suddenly. What devious mastermind is behind this?!

Haha! Someone has a lot of spare time on their hands.

September Agenda

The Senate calendar for September 2005:

1. Explain the steady rise in the price of petroleum;
2. Defeat the nomination of a conservative fanatic to the Supreme Court.

(Something like that, yeah!)

Iraq's Constitutional Theocracy

Let's review--

Saddam=Tyranny
Theocracy=BIGGER Tyranny

Wow! It would seem that Iraq just traded one evil for another. The Iraqis delayed their constitution to determine the role Islam would play in their government. Religion has no part in democracy! So, the United States just created an even larger monster in the Middle East. Is anyone familiar with Iran?

In essence, a man can't live forever; therefore, the cult surrounding Saddam was temporary. Then another person much like him would step up and fill his vacancy. On the other hand, a religion is not so temporary. It transcends human lifetimes, and it is must harder to control! DUH!

Let's just wait a few more years and get acquainted with the Islamic Revolutionary Republic of Iraq. Iran and Iraq side-by-side! I've got an idea: maybe they can unify!

Senate Takes on BIG Gas

It's about time! The United States has decided to convene hearings regarding the inflation of petroleum over recent months.

I just wonder if it will amount to anything! We'll keep watching!

Bush's Neighbors' Feud

I love this story about Bush's neighbors getting their feathers all flustered over the protestors outside of Bush's Texas ranch.

Now, I bet some money on the fact that it's not his neighbors wanting to fight these people, but in fact, it's Bush who is using his neighbors to lodge complaints about these people.

Even Bush knows that if he directly attacks this mother who lost her son in Iraq, he will be characterized as a heartless son-of-a-bitch! (Which he is!)

November 4, 2008

I can't wait for 2008 when we get rid of the Saudi-oil-loving-wanna-be-cowboy-joker George W. Bush.

I am going to vote for Hillary. I am pretty sure that she will run for president in 2008. This might be the first time I vote for a president that actually gets to move into the White House!

Goals for 2008 include:

• Complete removal of American armed forces from Iraq
• Initiation of a United Nations-led peacekeeping force, if needed (I honestly can't ever see Iraq being independently democratic)
• Stabilizing the economy by provided modest tax incentives for the middle class and tax breaks for small business owners
• Prescription drug plan for senior citizens where the government picks up all the tab
• And of course...less reliance on Saudi oil. :)

Hey, I'm goal oriented and a die-hard liberal...so back off!

I'm coming up for election in 2010!

What morons!

Now I have heard it all!

It would seem that two of the jurors in Michael Jackson's trial regret their decision to acquit him.

Ummm...according to the AP article two of the bitchy jurors had originally voted to convict Michael Jackson. But it would seem that they amended their decision for whatever reason. Now, if I were on that jury and then suddenly had a change of heart and then lived to regret it, I would keep it all to myself. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING they can do now, so what's the point? It would also seem that they have some book deals in the works, so maybe they want to sell a book or even distinguish themselves from the other jurors.

I just don't understand what some people want! Simply, the former jurors in this case are morons!

Energy Bill

One good thing to come from the Congress and George Bush in a long time is the modification to the daylight saving time.

I am a bit giddy about the fact that my clock won't be moving back and forth so much in 2007. I have heard lots of opinions for and against the change. Actually, I promote that we adopt the "summer" time all year long! Now that is a bit radical, but I believe that extra time in the evening is much better than it being daylight at 5am when I'm asleep. Now I concede that I am serving my own personal interest, but isn't everyone?

I believe there will be a day when time changes will be abolished. It is difficult for people to acclimate to a new time. I know that I always feel bad when it comes time to change the clock. Either I am getting up later or earlier than I am used to. Besides, there is nothing more depressing than night coming at 5pm in winter! Everyone has to agree with that!

I am pro-sunlight!

Gassy Gas

The price of gas is still going up. We are not up to $63+ a barrel! When will it ever stop? I will tell you.

Sure the United States utilizes 20 million barrels of crude on a day-to-day basis with the vast majority of it coming from foreign sources, but that doesn't mean we have to be at the mercy of our suppliers.

The U.S. has massive amounts of oil in reserve. I suggest that we release a percentage of this oil onto our market to complement our daily domestic production, which should drive down the price of oil on the market! I believe it will be a signal to foreign producers, such as Saudi Arabia, that without the American market they will lose massive amounts of profit. Currently, we have a president whose primary focus is large business, which includes the oil industry. We also find example-after-example of how the president has "special" connections to the Saudi royal family. How biased is that? So it is any wonder that the price of oil is skyrocketing on an almost daily basis with King George in the White House? I think not!

Once upon a time....

In the beginning, there was chaos and idealism: there was no constitution. The interdependence of sovereign states weighed heavily on the success of the American war of independence from its mother, Great Britain. A group of aristocratic men had met in the summer of 1776 and decided the fate of their own lands was best represented by themselves. Their king had not heard them, his governors shunned them, but in the end he could not drown out their distant pleas represented by the bayonet, and the bloody battlefields of a once compliant colony gone badly wrong. From this seeming anarchy rose a phoenix of Herculean proportions; from the fire rose a nation forged by blood, brute, and determination, unlike any the world had ever seen. Thirteen confederated colonies sought their right to exist and earned that right through their own design. They were no longer reliant on their mother, they had proved their own right to existence in the wild. A proud network of educated men set out to define the role of a nation that would exist for centuries beyond their lifetimes. On July 4, 1776, the United States was born.

Our Constitution was unlike anything ever conceived by human intelligence. It was a pact between citizen and government. It was a bond setting the boundaries of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Every citizen was entitled to live and die as he or she saw fit. It was the duty of their government to make certain this right was protected by all means necessary. Of course, there were many ideas of how this constitution would be outlined. There were disagreements, concessions, but finally a draft was adopted by the Constitutional Convention. Now, there existed explicit rights and liberties of the new nation's people. There were clear roles for different aspects of the government's function, such as representation and judicial matters. The government was free of any religion and was adherent that it would never adopt laws regarding the institution. The judiciary was the final judge of whether the laws created by Congress met the tests set by the Constitution. An executive was given distinct authority to oversee the laws of the United States were properly enforced. The role of the United States' government has changed, but within the confines of the same constitution given life over 200 years ago.

Is the Constitution of the United States a static or living document? Can it bend with the will of the people or is it rigid and inflexible? The answer is simple: the Constitution of the United States is a living document. It has the ability to change and modify itself through amendments. Amendments to its verbiage and rights. These are enacted through the will of the people, through majorities in the Congress and their respective state legislatures. The Constitution, however, cannot bend toward the will of one individual. It is not meant to represent that popular sentiments of the day. If we allow one person to dominate the course of our nation, then we, as citizens, must take the Constitution and rip it into small pieces; thereby, delivering ourselves to the rule of tyranny on July 3, 1776.

The Adopted Babies Scandal

Wow! Justice-wannabe Roberts' adopted, white-skinned kids from Latin America are now part of the debate over his qualifications. It is soooooo freakin' funny that a CONSERVATIVE radio talk show referred to his adopted children as "white-skinned," which is fueling a controversy over how you could get such children in Latin America. Fortunately, he stopped short of calling them simply "them Mexicans."

That simply shows how racist conservatives are! Get a grip!

B & B: A Match Made in Heaven

Today, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, presented his credentials to the United Nations.

Can 2007 come any faster?
