Feeling the Space...

2007-02-07

Brought to you by the same group that gave us the "Defense of Marriage" ammendment

Oh this is good. Right-wing crazies that just love to tell you how they're all for getting government off the backs of the people bring us this latest doozy: the "Have children or else" amendment!

360 tons of CA$H?

ugh..hmmm, I'm trying to get my noodle around this: OK. 360 tons of $100 bills. ouch.

OK. I didn't leave the house yesterday. I won't be leaving today. I can't afford to drive unless it's to & from work. I can only eat, at this point, if it's from scratch. No Taco Bell, no Starbucks. Yet my own government shipped 12 billion dollars! to Iraq?? The same government that I have been paying $2500 in back taxes to - or else have my bank account confiscated(I was unemployed for 26 out of 48 months - didn't have "taxes" withheld from my "income")!?
It's amazing - that me - hard worker, non-trouble-maker - is so much less important then throwing money at this middle eastern debacle of our own making - with the hope that some of it ends up at the right place.
So incredibly dis-heartening.
Thanks George Bush.

And the hearings continue...

I've been trying to reduce information as to what's been going on out the media reports on "Scooter" Libby trial. I have read transcripts and really haven't been able to deduce that much of what's happened. I just read other's writings and gather up what information I can retain (not much there either). I do know that what has come out so far is that : When pResident Bush gave the 2002 State of the Union address and informed us that Iraq was attempting to buy nuclear materials... - surprise - he was LYING. That he had indeed been told that the whole - yellowcake from Niger 'load of crap' - had indeed been proven false. That didn't stop him from getting up in front of the American people and both houses of congress and deliberately lying.
Hmmm. I wonder what the penalty for lying to congress AND the American public at the same time is? Or better yet- What would the penalty be for a Democratic president? I'm sure this is just one of MANY outright lies to be uncovered at this point...
