Gas Prices

Think of this - gas was a lot cheaper before we stuck our noses into Iraq. The "Bush Doctrine" has padded the oil company pockets at the expense of the people of this country. Remember that Bush has a reputation of being sneaky, underhanded and does things unethically. He fleeced millions from his oil company buddies back in Texas. So, now that he's President, he's making good on his promises.

I wonder what they have on him that makes him actually act with honor to those he fleeced before????

So, he's finally forced to step down - unless he declares martial law and stops the election, which I don't put past him.

I saw a pickup with a message painted on the back window that he got robbed by the oil companies - not quite right though. Think about it.... Bush was bought and paid for long before he ever ran for President. Why do you think he put Cheney in the co-pilot's chair? I'm sure he had someone a lot more fun in mind.

Been Dealing -

There are lots of things I've wanted to write about - Blog about - recently. I have been unable to sit at the computer long enough to do so.

Boy! Do I NEED a laptop!

I've been ill, and worse, in a lot of pain. I fell again yesterday - have a beautiful purple bruise on my upper arm.

I've been yelling at the radio. Patraeus is saying nothing. Nada. Zilch. He's a Bush cronie.

Right now, I'm mostly angry about the way the war in Iraq has been privatized. At 3750 dead Americans, who knows how many Iraqis and add the other nation's dead and damaged. Then, the kicker, the "secret" injuries and dead of the private armies of "security" for all of Cheney's cronies. All those companies that swarmed over Iraq to "rebuild" it (and fill their pockets).

I watched "The Aviator" recently, and according to the movie, Howard Hughes got called before a Senate Subcommittee for $43 million. How much has been squandered in this war???

Gonzales Resignation -

from the "vote to impeach" webiste:

At the very moment that people from around the country are preparing to descend on Washington DC for a massive march for peace and impeachment, Alberto Gonzales announced today that he is joining Karl Rove in the mad dash to flee Bush's sinking ship.

Gonzales, like Rove, is under scrutiny for lying to Congress. Under direction from Bush and Cheney, Gonzales will be remembered in history as the infamous guardian and legal “justifier” for a regime of torture, massive secret spying of the American people and the suspension of Due Process and other cherished rights.

The crumbling of Bush’s inner circle is a sure sign that those who participated in the criminal acts of the administration are seeking to avoid the hard glare of a country that has turned against the Iraq war and the administration itself.

I don't know that I agree with all the hoopla surrounding impeachment, but the case for impeachment is very strong. Perhaps if people would follow the law instead of their ministers, the country would be more christian and law-abiding at the same time.

I guess my biggest complaint is that people have had their blinders on for so long now. It's like the last 20 years have been sheep following a (not always ethical) sheepherder. Nobody questioning anything except for us out here in the wilderness.

I know that folks like Michael Moore have been pointing fingers and going around making a lot of noise - and there have been others - but that kind of noise and finger-pointing does no good. Every time you point a finger out, there are 3 pointing back at you...

So, if I point at the government for illegally manipulating laws and power grabbing, I have to look at myself and see where I allowed it to happen. For one, I didn't open my mouth sooner. I just yelled at the radio/tv until I was blue in the face!

That's the point of this blog, after all - to get it out in the open instead of behind closed doors. The Nazi party kept the people behind closed doors and even made them wary of discussing these issues behind closed doors lest their teenager (another easily led and manipulated mind) turn them in for not "going with the flow" of popular opinion.

Who makes opinion popular, anyway?? Isn't that supposed to be the majority? What if there is a very strong minority???

Our country is being torn apart because the minority is being ignored, and majority rules. We need to re-think that approach and negotiate a more fair outcome to disputed issues.

Compromise may not be a palatable idea, but it's certainly better than ignoring half the population. That behavior leads to coup. And impeachment of a sitting president and vice president is getting pretty close to a coup.

Extended and Expanded - Lost more Privacy!

Bush signed an extension and expansion to the Homeland Security bill, and now can peek at all the email I get from around the world is now fair game. The Dems and Reps both folded to the idiot in the big chair.

Who cares if they have to stay a couple of extra days - God Forbid! Bush veto a bill he doesn't like. Hell - WHY DID WE ELECT THESE BOZOS??? Who is going to stand up that idiot??? I can understand why some folks are calling for his impeachment. Maybe we should impeach and recall everyone in Congress!

I'm just fed up with this. I run websites - by nature an international business. I answer questions online a lot - why should I put up with this invasion of privacy?

Yeah, they limited the bill to 6 months - It only takes 1 MINUTE to completely change the world. Just ask any pregnant woman!

Get out of the White House, Mr. Bush!!! Take Cheney with you! I don't want either of you lying, cheating creeps in control of my country.
