Who will it be

So I guess at sometime this week we will know the next President Barack Obama's Vice President. I feel his choice is more important then more of the same McCain because I truly feel there is going to be an attempt on Obama's life and the fact that there are so many right-wing media types who encourage violence and since they are sheep they will follow them. I hope he picks a strong choice.


As far as more of the same McCain I have a feeling it's going to be Joe Lieberman. I don't know why but I've always felt that. He will announce his pick after the Democratic Convention

Who REALLY gets it

Once again Barack Obama is the one WHO truly understands where the United States should stand in the world and not more of the same John McCain. If you have a chance check out Obama's speech today after more of the same McCain wrongly called him a traitor in his speech. Obama had the best response. As always more of the same McCain looks like a baby sucking his thumb.

How does it feel

I wonder how Bill O'Idiot feels now that HE is the victim of a hate song and threats like the one he gives out all the time. Make a bet he's not too happy.

Do we still have it?

After watching the Presidential Forum on Saturday hosted by Rick Warren I was wondering if we still have separation of church and state? If so then his tax-exempt status should be taken away immediately and the fact that this person has so much power where he can get both more of the same McCain and Obama is disgusting.

More violence

More Violence against Democrats yesterday as the head of the DNCC in Arkansas was killed by a gunman. I blame the right wing media on this. I have quotes from them that encouraging violence against Democrats and as I have posted before it was a matter of time before stupid followers of theirs took them up on this. Remember the church shooting in Tennessee a couple of weeks ago was because the gunman thought the church was too liberal. But as examples of right-wingers encouraging violence against Democrats:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200511100008

O'REILLY: Hey, you know, if you want to ban military recruiting, fine, but I'm not going to give you another nickel of federal money. You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead."

And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.

I have a quote from Ann Coulter saying it's ok to kill the liberal wing of the Supreme Court.

Bill O saying to lynch Michelle Obama

We have the Anthrax letters that were mainly sent to Democrats (which I have my own theory on but that's not important at the moment)

Right Winger Michelle Malkin in San Francisco who tried to intimidate a 12 year old boy
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/10/09/graeme-foster-what-would-you-do-if-this-was-snooping-around-your-house/

The history is endless. Bottom line is if it's open season on Democrats and Republicans who do nothing but encourage violence will be held responsible.

Big Difference

So here is the big difference between Robert and myself. I will say something and explain why I am saying that with links to stories and quotes from the people I'm talking about. Robert on the other hand will make a quote and do nothing to back it up.

Here is two examples of recent posts. Robert said that I cannot call more of the same McCain a racist in fact, here is his quote "I'm no fan of McCain but calling him a racist is totally uncalled for.

You should tread carefully here Erik. It is Obama who is showing himself to be racist."

First that sounds like a threat to me. Second there is no explanation why Robert feels that way as always third it's a false statement. I have examples why I made my statement and why I feel that way. Robert is as usual blank other then saying right-wing talking points and not having a mind of his own.

And I should "tread carefully" sounds like a threat. I'm looking at the facts starting with his voting record (which again I have in my archives) and basing on that as well as quotes (which I have also in my archives) and actions like the previous couple of posts down.

By the way Robert you also falsely claimed Obama will be worse then more of the same McCain yet again never offered explanations why. So as usual you make a baseless argument like the Republican poster boy you are.

Just wondering

Using the idiot in the White House's philosophy I'm wondering why he isn't attacking Russia since the people in the country of Georgia actually want freedom? Isn't that one of the reasons why Bush claimed he attacked Iraq? Oh wait wasn't it weapons of mass destruction (which Russia has) or links to terrorism (which Russia has).

Oh wait Russia will destroy us. Nevermind.

Affairs

In the wake of John Edwards admitting to having an affair with someone and of course the right-wing media jumping all over it even though Edwards isn't running for anything anymore I would like to remind everyone how more of the same Mccain also had an affair with his current wife while still married to his first wife(and if you look in my archives you fill find links) and the media is not covering that at all.

Again just a reminder cause we need to be talking about this and the reasons I'm harder on Republicans on this issue is they are the ones who claim they are the party of family values. They sure don't show it.

Did you know

Did you know this about more of the same John McCain:
http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/cin_mccain_lost_five_u.htm

Since more of the same McCain opened up this can of worms with the attack adds I think it's important to know about more of the sames military experience. That link shows he lost 5 aircraft when he flew in Vietnam. That's incompetence. And that should be a story out there but as always the conservative media looks away. No surprise.

Nice Guy

Why is this not news or should we not be surprised on this. I know Keith Olbermann reported this yesterday but this is just added to a long list of racism from more of the same McCain or at least his staff.

http://www.floridacapitalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080802/CAPITOLNEWS/808020312

He had his staff throw out the lone African American reporter at an event in Florida last week. It really shows how pathetic he is but given his stance on Martin Luther King day he has a history. Remember that.

Birds of a feather

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/08/stevens-to-join.html

Birds of a feather stay together. Bush is joining an event with indicted Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. They absolutely deserve each other.

More slime

Gee does anyone remember how more of the same McCain said he was going to run a different kind of campaign? I do. But that doesn't stop him from releasing yet another attack add on the next President Obama. This guy is nothing but a slime and then after that racist add last week and his history (being against Martin Luther King holiday, etc) I shouldn't be surprised. (Yes I am saying what more of the same McCain is).

And again take a look at his voting record more of the same McCain agreed with Bush 85% of the time. This person is no different from Bush.

Double Talk

I see the first attack add is done by more of the same McCain. I'd love to say I'm surprised but I'm not since all he does is not straight talk but double talk. He was the one who said how he wants a clean campaign but that lasted about 30 seconds. Again yet another reason not to vote for him.

What liberal bias

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-onthemedia27-2008jul27,0,2066363,full.story

So I would like to once again offer proof of the myth of liberal bias. Barrack Obama has received, since Hillary Clinton dropped out, 28% of positive media coverage and 72% negative. Meanwhile more of the same McCain has received 43% positive and 57 % negative.

Again this is ALL NETWORKS. And if any conservative says one more time about media bias I have facts on my side.

Ted Stevens

I never thought I'd write a post on Ted Stevens but he was indicted yesterday. Odds are since he is a Republican nothing will happen to him since that is their history of criminals (Vitter, Craig most recently) but nice to see the law working.

OK

As you probably have heard we had a 5.4 Earthquake today. Just letting you know we are ok.

Do you remember

Do you remember when President Bill Clinton left office? Do you remember the budget surplus he left us in??I sure do but now we have Bush who announced we will have a record $482 BILLION dollar deficit in 2009. I thought Republicans where fiscally responsible but obviously that is yet another myth and yet another reason not to vote for more of the same McCain.

http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSWAT00985720080728

Sad

ggxwhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/28/usa

This sick individual who shot and killed two people and wounded others in Tennessee is pathetic but he is in the same mindset as a lot of conservatives.

For those who don't know he went to a church he is not a member of and fired away for the reason he felt the church was too liberal! Let's have that sink he this individual killed two people, wounded others IN A CHURCH because HE felt the church was too liberal.

First off the mere fact that I had to make that statement disgusts me. The fact is I've seen bumper stickers saying make the world safer shoot a liberal proves what sick disgusting psychopaths they really are and really have no place in the world. It's really sad and yes for Robert who I know is going to say something again Robert prove to me in any way where this losers actions are justified and ask how outraged you would be if someone shot up a conservative church for the reasons this guy is saying.

And I make a bet he is one of the dittoheads (mind you I'm assuming) cause Rush does encourage violence. I have posts showing that in my archives.

Again who REALLY gets it

Finally someone who understands what America's place in the world should be. Check out Obama's speech today in Berlin. We've had 8 years of a President with the shoot first shoot last and shoot everywhere in between facts be damned and if you vote for more of the same McCain you will continue that. Here is a link for today's speech and that is the best speech I've seen in my lifetime by a politician:

http://my.barackobama.com/berlinvideo

When did he know and what did he know

http://rawstory.com//news/2008/Was_Flight_93_shot_down_on_0723.html

Just wondering why this isn't news? This should be the most talked about story on air today. It's about the prosecutor, not defense attorney, saying that flight 93 was shot down. Here is the quote:

"If they hadn't shot down the fourth plane it would've hit the dome," Stone, a Navy officer, said in his opening remarks.

Now I want to know the following: What did Bush know (and if you remember he said he saw the first plane hit the World Trade Center when no one did) when did Bush know it and why did Bush not do anything (although that answer is completely obvious as I have stated previously). We have a right to know and remember he never testified under oath to the 9/11 commission so he very easily lied to them.

Who's Fault??

So I want to talk about two adds. One is more of the same McCain's tv add that was shown yesterday blaming Democratic candidate Barrack Obama for the high gas prices because he is against oil drilling. I hate to burst that bubble but the gas prices rose dramatically BEFORE he was even in the Senate and more of the same McCain could have done something AT THAT POINT but his good friend Phil Gramm who ended the regulation of the oil industry (another argument against deregulation) is most responsible.

2nd and this is about a week old but I had to talk about this and this is even more disgusting. This is a billboard that was bought in Florida by a Republican. The billboard clearly blames Democrats for 9/11 shows the World Trade Center on fire and since the Republicans only know how to promote fear instead of their own agenda. This billboard is disgusting and of course NOT FACTUAL!

I think we need a reminder about who was in office on 9/11 and who IS ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE: George Bush was President on 9/11 and was warned in August in his Presidential Daily Briefing that "Bin Laden determined to attack the United States". Bush did nothing. REPUBLICANS were in control of Congress and the Senate and did nothing. There is one political party responsible for 9/11 and that is the Republican Party. And I will continue to push that point for as long as necessary. And I won't promote the billboard google search it if you want to see it.

By the way speaking of the next President Obama did anyone see where Iraqi Prime Minister Malaki of Iraq endorsed Obama's plan of withdraw? Funny how he is making Bush and more of the same McCain irrelevant.

For a laugh

For all the serious things we talk about on this site it's time for something funny. If you can go check out the latest video from our friends at jibjab.com as usual it's really funny and they do a great job.

Flip Flops

I have a couple of things today. First I have a link for 27 of more of the same McCain's flip-flops. That's as of today who knows how many more. Keep in mind next time the right-wing media calls Obama a flip-flopper.

http://www.wegoted.com/news/detail.asp?newsID=268

2nd I see where Bush is sending an envoy to talk with Iran. Funny when OBAMA had the SAME IDEA Bush said he would be appeasing enemies comparing him with those who wanted to appease Hitler. Funny where is the media calling Bush the hypocrite he is?

Who REALLY Gets it

So I would like to ask who really understands policy. We have more of the same McCain who has said things like "we will be in Iraq for 100 years" and "bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran" and we have the next President of the United States Barrack Obama who actually outlined a sane policy.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/15/obama.iraq/index.html

If more of the same McCain had any brains he would look at Obama's policy. But luckily in a few months we won't have to worry about him and he can go back to his cushy life as a senator or do the world a favor and retire like most people his age.

So to sum up:

Sane foreign policies: Barrack Obama

Continuation of Bush's Policies: More of the same John McCain

Why

I'm just wondering when the media is going to report on more of the same McCain's adultery. That's right adultery. He cheated on his former wife with his current wife. Nevermind this is while the former wife was severely disfigured after a call wreck.

Mind you how the media was all over President Clinton's affairs. The obvious double-standard is pathetic and YET AGAIN proves how the media panders to the Republicans. As they always have.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html

Sad

I'm going to disagree (obviously) with Obama's vote in favor of Bush spying on American citizens. I won't agree with everything he does no one agrees with everyone 100 percent of the time. I kinda think I know why he did vote for it cause if he didn't the Republican smear machine (since that's all they know how to do attack) would claim how soft he is on terror and he doesn't want to protect American's. Even though this bill won't prevent a terror attack in any way.

On a side note I wonder what's worse in the news the past couple of days.

A: (Which is getting the most airplay by the right wing media) Jessie Jackson saying he would cut Obama's nuts off

or

B: More of the same McCain surrogate Graham saying that American's are imagining how bad things are in the economy. Saying everything is alright. Blaming everyone but the fact that the truth is the United States is in a recession.

To me McCain surrogate Graham calling American's stupid is worse. But that's me.

Interesting

http://independentsources.com/2006/06/03/john-mccain-gambling-las-vegas/

So it says more of the same McCain likes to gamble. There is nothing wrong except in ethics. I have a few questions I think should be answered which won't cause the media looks the other way for more of the same McCain. I think these are legitimate questions.

Does he owe casino's any amount of money?
Has he done political favors for those casinos?
How has he voted when gaming votes come up?

And most importantly I think Has he paid taxes on his winnings and loses. If you look at a couple of posts ago there is a history of him not paying taxes. This is something that really needs to be looked at.

Must be nice

It must being nice being racist drug-addicted right-wingers. I see where Rush signed a new contract where he makes $38 million a year to tell lies and deceive people. Ahhh only in America can someone filled with hate like he is can do that.

Arrest Him

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/28/mccains-failed-to-pay-tax_n_109785.html

More of the same McCain needs to be arrested. Why?? Failure to pay taxes. And yes they do arrest people for that and he being of the highest profile needs to be one of them to set the example. Four years without paying taxes on his property in California is a crime and he needs to be punished accordingly.

How can more of the same McCain claim to be a patriot when he doesn't pay his taxes??

Only in Texas

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/latinamerica/la-na-shoot1-2008jul01,0,3358560.story?track=rss

Only in Texas can you commit pre-meditated murder and be called a hero and found not guilty. Well you can in Ca. too if you are famous which this idiot is not. Sad. More guns are NOT THE ANSWER!

He doesn't care

You know after the 9/11 attacks I couldn't wait to see Osama Bin Laden's head on a platter. Looks like when Barrack Obama wins in November he is going to be the one with that honor since Bush, as usual, doesn't care about anything that happened that day. Want proof??

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/2224726/White-House-in-fighting-stalled-Osama-bin-Laden-hunt-in-Pakistan.html

So let's look at Bush's scorecard:

9/11 happened. He doesn't care. He doesn't want to avenge those who died and since he'd rather be at peace with his business partners (Osama Bin Laden's family) he'd rather sit it out. What a a-hole.

Hypocrites

I see where more of the same McCain's people are upset at honest statements made by Gen. Wesley Clark saying how more of the same McCain lacks "command experience" to be President. And of course more of the same McCain wants an apology.

I find them hypocrites on a couple of fronts. First I find it odd that in the same week where one of more of the same McCain's surrogates said how a terrorist attack would be an advantage for more of the same McCain and didn't hear any demands for an apology where in fact the surrogate should have resigned for those honestly disgusting statements.

Second if more of the same McCain's people are upset about this where were these when swift-boaters were attack a TRUE war hero in John Kerry in 2004??

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iYBdOQK_nuxk0sWQWPLgj7elExLgD91K9V580

Is a link to Clark's comments

http://www.usnews.com/articles/opinion/2008/06/24/charlie-blacks-terrorist-attack-comment--a-flub-or-the-quiet-truth.html

Is a link to Black's comments

Activist Judges

I posted about this when I first heard the case and I was right about the outcome. The activist judges at the Supreme Court violated the constitution by ruling against the Washington D.C. gun ban. I'm not shocked considering how Bush has turned the court into a wing of the Republican Party. For those who need a reminder here is what the constitution says regarding the amendment:

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment02/
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

And again here is a definition of militia:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Militia

–noun

1.	a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies.

2.	a body of citizen soldiers as distinguished from professional soldiers.

3.	all able-bodied males considered by law eligible for military service.

4.	a body of citizens organized in a paramilitary group and typically regarding themselves as defenders of individual rights against the presumed interference of the federal government.

So yet again putting their personal views above the constitution and the court got it wrong.

Best Jokes

You know the best jokes are the ones that are not written.

http://sfist.com/2008/03/31/presidential_me_1.php

They want to rename a sewage plant in San Francisco after Bush. Considering how he has treated the United States I say that's more then fitting!

Who Hurts

While over on Robert's website he jumps on the Bush everything in the economy's ok bandwagon REAL people are hurting in today's economy. Just yesterday United Airlines laid off several hundred pilots (some serving in Iraq to further insult our troops) but you don't hear about small businesses also hurting. I found this to make my point.

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/PainAtThePump/story?id=5213878&page=1

So Robert people are hurting right now despite your misinformed views.

By the way if you wanna see something really funny Tom sent me this one and I found a link for him.

http://hilaryfortnum.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14s

R.I.P.

I was saddened to learn of the death of George Carlin. He was one of my favorites. I hope he is resting in peace and thank you for the laughs.

Who doesn't love America?

So with the crap Michelle Obama is taking for her comments "For the first time in my adult life I love America" (paraphrasing a bit) I wonder when the media is going to pick up on the exact same comments more of the same McCain said. Here is a link for the exact comments and if ANY right-winger uses Obama's comments they will be reminded of more of the same McCain saying the same thing!

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=John+McCain+I+didn%E2%80%99t+really+love+America+until+I+was+deprived+of+her+company.%E2%80%9D&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

It doesn't work

Another example on how trickle down economics doesn't work. The theory that Republicans claim work is you raise profits and they will trickle down to the workers. That isn't true. Yet another example is how CEO pays have increased in 2007. Meanwhile where do the people who are hurting come in?? Nowhere. Anyone who claims this voodoo economics works is just a simple idiot who doesn't know or just ignores the facts regarding this. And it doesn't matter how smart they claim they are the facts again state otherwise!
http://www.pionline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080107/PRINTSUB/486171764/1031/TOC

Finally

We finally have the proof on what I've been saying all along. This occupation of Iraq was SOLELY for the oil companies. Check these stories out:

http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/tucker/stories/2008/06/20/tucked_0622.html

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/19/world/middleeast/19iraq.html

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/19/africa/19iraq.php

Bush, Cheney all of these a-holes DESERVE to be impeached, charged, tried and convicted for EVERY DEATH they caused in Iraq from soldiers to citizens cause of their greed and desire to make the oil companies rich! This is why we are in this DISASTER!

Point Counterpoint

While trying to figure out what slime the Republicans are going to try to bring up against the next President Barrack Obama whatever they try Obama can counter. Here are some examples:

Republicans will try to use Rev. Wright against Obama. Obama can counter with more of the same McCain's association with Hagee.

Republicans can try to use the bitter comments Obama said. Obama can counter with the not important when troops come home comments or we will be in Iraq for 100 years comments.

Republicans can try to claim about Obama's voting record claiming how liberal it is. Obama can counter with more of the same McCain voting with Republicans 85% of the time.

Republicans can claim how inexperienced Obama is on National Security and the phony war on terror. Obama can counter how the person behind the attacks on 9/11 is still at large and how Bush has said he doesn't think about him anymore. Obama can also remind how during a Democratic Administration (President Bill Clinton) both times there were attacks (the first World Trade Center Bombing and Oklahoma City) the people behind them were caught, convicted and are currently serving sentences or put to death!

Any attack Republicans can come up with against Obama he can counter.

Just say no

I saw a story where the idiot in the White House backed by more of the same McCain is going to ask Congress to lift the ban on offshore oil drilling so his oil buddies can continue to make record profits cause that's NOT going to do a thing to drop prices even though that is what they will claim.

I hope Congress tell Bush and more of the same McCain what they can do with that request. This is not the answer finding alternatives to oil consumption is. That's what needs to be done and when Obama beats more of the same McCain in November we will have a president who will explore those opportunities!

A Historic Day......Maybe

Today is a historic day for the state of California as same-sex couples will be allowed to marry at 5:01 PM PST. While I'm waiting for a right-wing group to find an activist judge to stop this from happening (since we know they are homophobic and can't seem to accept this) I hope all couples, gay and straight be allowed to experience the joys and pains of marriage.

By the way a little sidebar Kern County, one of the most conservative counties in California, has decided to stop issuing licenses for all marriages because they feel it's better not to marry instead of allowing same-sex couples to marry. Nice huh??

Fair Game

So I read on ABC.com where Republicans are going to attack Michelle Obama specifically her "first time proud" comments she made earlier this year. Fine but that also makes more of the same John McCain's wife fair game as well. But then again we already have so many soundbites (like yesterdays) that more of the same McCain has said that it might not be necessary.

Not Important

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/06/11/mccain-iraq-important/

So more of the same McCain thinks it's "not that important" to bring home our troops in Iraq. He gives so many reasons NOT to vote for him it's pathetic. Anyone who thinks he will be any type of effective leader just watch him. He's nothing but a sad old man who should retire like most people his age!

I wonder how his son who is serving in Iraq feels that his dad doesn't care if he ever comes home? I bet not too good but I can't speak for him.

Once A Coward

As gas hits $4 a gallon nationwide (it's been like that here in California for awhile now) I'm just wondering where the man is who said "I don't know anyone who has said gas is going to hit four dollars a gallon" Bush: He of course being the coward that he is has run away to Europe instead of being here where he is needed. Just like he has done his whole life. Examples: Vietnam, arrests when he was young so many others.

Why Clinton Lost

So I keep hearing reports asking why Clinton Lost the nomination. Here is what I think(and these aren't in any order):

A) Her vote in support of our occupation in Iraq. She refused to say she was wrong on that and too many people don't want us to be there.

B) Arrogance. She was too cocky as the alleged front-runner and didn't take Obama seriously until the end. Same thing happened to the Republican alleged front-runner Gulliani.

C) Bad decisions. The 3 am add. Sending her surrogates like Geraldine Ferraro and Bill Clinton to attack Obama when she was scared to do much of the work herself.

D) Fundraising. This surprised me most of all. She was not as organized as Obama was.

E) Her sex. She kept saying how she was treated unfairly because she was a woman. Sorry to say but politics isn't fair.

I might add some more late but that's a start.

O Idiot

So today Bill O'Idiot says that Obama's policy's are bad for the U.S. I wonder though why he would think more of the same McCain's policy's will be any better?

More of the same McCain has said he wants to continue Bush's policy's of lying about war (as proven this week by multiple sources) of extremely high unemployment, of extremely high food prices, of RECORD high gas prices, of murdering our soldiers so companies associated with him can make record profits, of continuing tax cuts for people making millions while people with families are struggling to eat. Really who has bad policy's here?

There are so many reasons NOT to vote for more of the same McCain!

WOW

Now THAT was a speech. If Hillary Clinton gave more speeches like that she would be the Democratic nominee instead of Barrack Obama. I just hope she lives up to her words and supports him in any way she can.

What's unpatriotic

You know one of the things that always upsets me is how Republicans claim they know what is patriotic. They claim how not supporting the war is not patriotic they claim how not wearing a flag pin on your tie is not patriotic they have claimed you have to support the Republican President otherwise you are not patriotic (while in the meantime attacking former Presidents Clinton and Carter on a regular basis).

To me though the most un-patriotic thing you can do is not use your right to vote. Even today even though here in California there is nothing major on the ballot and even though my mom is in the hospital with a broken hip I still went to my polling place and voted. I have not missed an election no matter where I lived since I turned 18.

The way I figure not voting is the most un-patriotic thing you can do.

Sorry

Sorry for the lack of posts the past couple of days but my mom is in the hospital with a broken hip. Please bare with me for a couple of days and I will be back in business. Thanks


Erik

New Book

So former Press Secretary Scott McClellan has a new book out blasting Bush and cronies. Love to say I'm surprised but one of the passages I've heard is how he thought the "liberal" media would pick up on the lies and I have fault with that for a couple of reasons.

1) The media is not liberal in any way shape or form they have been nothing but suckups for Bush and cronies

2) Where was this while he was covering up for Bush and his cronies huh?? Why didn't he have his conscience then?

Tell The Truth

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,359041,00.html

This story links to a case that's going before the California Supreme Court. The case involves a woman who is a lesbian who is suing her doctors who state, based on religious beliefs, they will not inseminate her.

Now what I would like is for someone to state where exactly in the bible does it state that a lesbian woman cannot have a child? From what I have seen it doesn't say that anywhere.

What this is is a pure discrimination. This has nothing to do with religion but more with PERSONAL beliefs. This is a choice the doctors made. Just like pharmacists who refuse to give morning after pills. The doctors should be sued AND have their licenses suspended for this.

Disgusting

I always find it disgusting when I watch Bush lay flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier for two reasons:

A) When it was his time to serve his country he went AWOL.

B) He ordered a lot of those soldiers to die himself for his own personal amusement.

Who's To Blame??

So in his column today in the Los Angeles Daily News Bill O'Idiot claims how BOTH PARTIES are to blame for the current oil prices. I think we need a reminder of history O'Idiot! First shortly after Bush stole the White House Cheney had meetings with top oil executives. We never knew what was said in those meetings because Cheney successfully blocked a release of the minutes since he doesn't want (as always) the public to know.

Flashback to Bush deciding, for no reason, to invade Iraq. Oil prices were $24 a barrel at that point and we were promised how the oil in Iraq was supposed to pay for this occupation we are in and there was nothing to worry about.

Keep also in mind who was in charge of both the Congress and the Senate which was the Republican Party and they chose to ignore the problem.

So there you have who REALLY is responsible for the oil crisis we are currently in. That is the Republicans.





Just an FYI be sure if you have HBO to watch Recount about how Bush stole the election in 2000. Again a reminder and how far we have dropped as a country and the depths the Republicans will go to lie steel and cheat and not allow EVERY VOTE TO COUNT.

It's Time

It's time to decide. I'm talking to you SUPER DELEGATES. It's time for you to say who you are going to vote for. Obama has already won the MAJORITY of delegates and YOU are the only people holding this up. Here are the list of Congresspeople from California who we need to hound (and believe me I am)

NANCY PELOSI
JERRY MCNERNEY
MIKE HONDA
SAM FARR
BOB FILNER
SUSAN DAVIS


Decide already!

A Question

If more of the same McCain claims he supports are brave men and women who are serving in our occupation of Iraq I was wondering why he missed a key vote on a new GI bill of rights which was approved by the house and senate today? Where was he? Oh yeah he was at a fundraiser in California today . I hope Obama holds this over his head because we know now where more of the same McCain stands: Just like Bush in that he hates our military. His actions show it.

Where is THAT converage

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/21/mccain-backer-hagee-said_n_102892.html

Read the story before coming to my point and that is when is the alleged liberal media going to cover a pastor, John Hagee, who is spewing 1000 times more then Jeremiah Wright EVER did? If you read this sermon this shows CLEARLY how anti-semitic this moron is and the fact to me that more of the same McCain SOUGHT his endorsement shows what kind of "person" he is.

Sad News

With the excitement of the Kentucky and Oregon primaries I have some sad news to report. The other day as everyone knows Sen. Kennedy of Mass. was rushed to the hospital with a seizure. It turns out he has a tumor in his brain. While we hope he has a miracle and has a full recovery, it's sad to see such a great man suffer like this.

By the way back to the primary to no surprise Clinton won Kentucky and indications are Obama will win Oregon.

Who is Reckless

I've said this before and I will continue to point this out. More of the same McCain (who I swear recently said he wasn't going to do personal attacks on soon to be President Obama) said how Obama was "reckless" in wanting to talk with Iran FIRST.

I will say this with more of the same McCain: You have seen where a shoot first ask questions later freak has gotten us which is in an occupation of Iraq(which you have said and I will always point out we will be there 100 years) and has lead us in debt cause the idiot in the White House had no plan at all. Now if we can take a look at recent history and I will take a look at Republican Presidents only who have talked first:

Current President: Talked with and reached agreement with Lybia to reach agreement for them ending their nuclear program for exchange of food.

Ronald Reagan: Even though him being credited for ending communism is extremely overplayed he DID talk with several times Russia during the Cold War.

Richard Nixon: China. Enough said.

You can read history and see how you talk first. But now we have the Republicans who are the ones who are reckless and don't care how many lives that they have ruined and will continue to ruin with their reckless shoot first policies!

Cabinet Suggestions

I figure while I talked previously about who each candidate might pick for Vice President I want to throw some ideas for some key cabinet members. Starting with Obama. I'll get to more of the same McCain eventually.

Attorney General: John Edwards. Think about it he has experience going against corporations who willingly break the law (something that has been allowed with the current administration). He in my opinion would be a perfect fit for this.

Sec. of State: Hillary Clinton. If she doesn't get Vice President I think this would a good role for her as she is tough which, unlike Sec. Rice, you need to be in this position.

Sec. of Defense: Gen. Wesley Clark. I've heard Chuck Hagel's name mentioned in this job but again if you want someone who will bring respect contrary to Rummy and Gates he will do it.

I'll have some more ideas regarding other positions soon.

Thoughts and prayers

Please put Sen. Ted Kennedy in your thoughts and prayers as he has been rushed to the hospital with stroke-like symptoms. And while I'm sure there are those on the right who are hoping he, well dies (they have a history of doing that like when the congressman who died who was a holocaust survivor which I do have the quote on the site) he is a great man with a great history and sane people hope he will survive.

Who has done more

So Bush said today how Democrats and specifically Obama are "appeasers". Let's take a look at that shall we? We've had 8 years of a joke of a so-called President who has the shoot them first shoot them last and then sort out the bodies and all that has done is leave us billions in debt and no end to our occupation in Iraq.

Obama will attack those who threaten our well-being BUT there is nothing wrong FIRST with trying to bring a peaceful resolution to problems. Nothing wrong at all.

And one more thing to the people in Israel. Don't fall for Bush's threats. No one has done more to help enemies of Israel then the Bush family. First George Bush's grandfather Prescott helped bring Hitler to power http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar George's dad gave weapons of destruction to Israel's enemies Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden and the Bush family and Bin Laden family our business partners so if anyone in Israel thinks the Bush's are friends, they are not!

Good Job

I'd like to give congrats to the California Supreme Court for ruling that the ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. It took a lot of bravery to rule that and not give into the right-wing agenda.

We know what we are going to hear from the Republicans on this. How it's not natural, how it will lead to man-animal marriages things like that but what I find funny is how the Republicans always seem to be against government interference they always seem to make the exception for gay marriage which I don't understand but who am I to understand Republicans I have more then a 2nd grade education unlike them.

What an ego

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080513/pl_afp/usiraqpoliticsbushgolf_080513212030

So the idiot in the White House said that he "quit playing golf over the Iraq War"!

I don't even know where to begin on this one with this cocky son of a B*TCH! Soldiers are DYING because of his ego and all he cares about is his GOLF GAME! Soldiers are being treated so poorly and all HE CARES ABOUT IS HIS GOLF GAME! He has made America a laughing stock and ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS HIS GOLF GAME! Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted and ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS HIS GOLF GAME! I mean this SON OF A B*TCH is using soldiers lives FOR HIS OWN AMUSEMENT and ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS HIS GOLF GAME!

Thank GOD in a few months Obama will be President and we won't have to worry about this stupid a$$ jerk cause apparently he misses playing golf and that's more important to him then dealing with the disaster in Iraq HE CREATED

Interesting but where was it earlier?

So John Edwards endorsed Obama just now. I find the timing interesting while it takes away the thunder of Clinton trouncing Obama yesterday, where was this earlier. Edwards is the biggest endorsement Obama has had to date. Keep up the momentum.

No shock

To no shock Sen. Clinton won West Virginia. She will also win Kentucky and Puerto Rico. Obama should win the rest. Mine as well play this out even though she has no chance.

Who benefits?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080509/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/mad_cow

So Bush doesn't want testing for mad cow disease. I'd love to say I'm surprised but I'm not after all why would Bush care if people get sick? He doesn't care about anything else.

A reason

I watched false news this morning and the hosts were wondering why all the severe weather. Specifically tornadoes. It's very simple and it's really two reasons:

A) (And I know Robert doesn't want to hear facts) Global Warming. Weather patters have gotten weird and that's the reason. As I have stated I don't know what has caused global warming but I've always said if man can fix it we should.

B) Expansion. As people build into the suburbs that's most of the places where tornadoes hit. It's a simple formula.

Another Reminder

First I want to say congrats to Jenna Bush (that's right) on her marriage today. But I want to remind you that she, like her father, like the Vice President is a coward. When it is time to serve her country and make a statement she, again like her father and Vice President, chose not to. I guess being a coward runs in the family!

A reminder

I posted about this a long time ago but I feel this needs to be brought up again. I see where coyotes have been blamed on attacks of three children while they were in parks in or near the mountains. I think we need to be reminded when people are in the mountains they are in the territory of coyotes, mountain lions, bears, snakes and other creatures. They are not in our territory we are in there. And as man continues to build in these areas man is taking away these animals food sources so animals try to find food in whatever way they can. It's sad that it's happening but people need to be careful when they are in animals territory.

Who's Fault??

So I heard a caller to a talk show yesterday say to name three things Bush is responsible for that has hurt our country. I wish I was on hold for that cause I could have gone on for 1 hour saying what he has done to hurt us domestically and internationally. Here is a few things that Bush is responsible for and Robert I know you are in the nothing is Bush's fault but you are wrong.

1) Afghanistan. Let's see we have the person responsible for the 9/11 attacks there. Someone who Bush himself has said he doesn't think about anymore who is somewhere there. And he doesn't care. Talk about a slap in the face for those who have died on 9/11. And the fact that Al Queda and the Taliban have appeared to have strengthened there means HE did nothing.

2) Iraq. No exit strategy. Over 4000 troops dead. Millions of dollars in debt. No end in site. Just wants to dump it on Obama when he wins in November.

3) Oil. Remember the meetings the Dick Cheney had with executives from the oil industry?? I do. Remember how he fought to keep the details of the meetings secret? I do. Where are we now?? Close to $4 per gallon of gas. Before Bush invaded and now occupies Iraq gas was about $30 per barrel. Remember that

4) The recession we are currently in. Bush denies it but every sane person knows we are in one. The result of the war in Iraq, gas prices, job loses, record deficit and no end in site.

5) Lack of response after Katrina. Where was Bush when Katrina was devastating New Orleans? At a photo op with John McCain. I suppose there is irony there as New Orleans was slowly being destroyed by flooding by levees that Bush removed funding to shore up so he can have his Iraq War.

6) September 11, 2001. That's right he knew an attack was coming when he was briefed in August that Bin Laden determined to strike in the United States. He choose to ignore it and look what happened.

7) The shredding of the constitution. Our right with spying on Americans being taken away. The fact he thinks he is above the law. Signing statements stating how laws passed don't apply to him or anyone associated with him, Valerie Plame and giving a pardon to Scooter and so many others it's sad and I hope when Obama gets the nod in November he restores our credibility!

8) Every child left behind. When I heard about that bill I liked that idea. Little did I know how he would not fund it and basically ignore it. What a joke. But then again so is he

Anyone add anything else Bush has done feel free.

Another Reason

Another reason NOT to vote for more of the same McCain is his quote saying that he would nominate more judges like Alieto (not a typo) and Roberts. Funny if he was an alleged "maverick" like the media claims he would nominate more fair judges not right-wing thinkers. But I guess the right-wing media doesn't think that as more of the same McCain gets YET ANOTHER free ride.

Funny

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSN0541976420080506

I find Laura Bush complaining about the leadership of Myanmar funny considering how Bush failed the city of New Orleans when the same thing happened. I have in my archives proof like removing funding for levees there so he can fund the disaster in Iraq. Things like that.

5 Years Ago

I didn't have a chance to write about this the other day but I couldn't let it go. 5 Years ago at taxpayer expense our idiot in chief landed on an aircraft carrier with a HUGE banner that someone at the White House had made saying "Mission Accomplished" and the idiot stated "major combat operations in Iraq is over"!

Here we are 5 years later still stuck, at taxpayer expense, in this nightmare with soldiers continuously dying even though the "mission accomplished". If there isn't a reason to NEVER vote Republican this is the reason. The obvious deception to the American people the obvious deception to get us into Iraq the obvious deception of the cost should be enough! And again if you are considering voting for more of the same McCain you will get the same thing!

Who's fault??

I saw today where Bush actually blamed Congress (Democrats) for the horrible economy. Funny how it was HIS policies that got us into the mess we are currently in and he is proposing NOTHING to help common people who are hurting the most. Let's here any idea that doesn't benefit his buddies in industry. He doesn't have any cause he doesn't want nor care about the people who need it most!

Again if I hear one more Republican who says who voodoo economics works despite this another obvious example that it doesn't I want whatever they are smoking!

Two things

I'd like to talk about two things that are related. They might not seem that way but they are. I have two links:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9841.html

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/29/washington/28cnd-scotus.html?em&ex=1209614400&en=62a282e24ebd9ba8&ei=5087%0A

Sorry for the long link on the 2nd one but that's how it is. Both of these links show a clear connection on how not only does the GOP not want you to vote but they do not want a paper trail after you vote. If there is a more obvious attempt to create voter fraud by the Republican Party I don't know what is.

Required

You need to see this video of how Bush is treating our soldiers. Yes this is his fault and it's disgusting. This is at Ft. Bragg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46vYZFU1Dew

Again if you vote for McCain you will get the same treatment for our brave men and women.

Wrong views

I looked at the headline in Bill O'Idiot's column in today's Los Angeles Daily News and I thought my gody I must be dreaming I will agree with him. The headline read "Let's stop rewarding big oil companies"

But then as you read the op-ed it is his usual wrong view. His solution will not hurt big oil companies but reward them further. His solution: More drilling for oil. That is how we got to this point in our energy crisis. The solution is funding more money in finding alternatives to oil. That's the only way we will end our dependency. Hopefully when Obama or Clinton get into office next year they will find that (mind you I'm not saying they will that I hope they will) but we also know that more of the same McCain won't!

3 Years Ago

Wow it's weird. I just realized it's been three years since I started this blog. Time flies. I've learned a lot while on this blog and hopefully will continue to learn. As always I appreciate everyone who comes here and whether you agree with me or not please continue to voice your opinions.

Thanks again.

What is enough

I read a letter in today's USA Today stating that the fact t 4000 troops who have died is not enough reason to withdraw our troops out of Iraq. I wonder what is?

Is it the reasons we were given (all false) to go there?

Is it the cost to taxpayers?

Is it the Iraqi people don't want us there?

Is it the fact Al Queda was never there until we invaded and occupied Iraq?

Is it our troops are not properly armed in Iraq?

Is it the fact the MAJORITY of American people don't want us in Iraq?

I have so many MORE reasons to end our occupation of Iraq I can type for hours.

Does She Know??

Just wondering when Hillary Clinton brought up Rocky the other day and how he fought and fought and never gave up I was wondering if she knew Rocky lost in the first film??

Just wondering

As I see where 69% of people disapprove of Bush I was wondering why ANYONE would vote for more of the same McCain who has said he is going to continue Bush's unpopular policies?

Just remember

Whether it's Clinton or Obama just remember to vote tomorrow if you are in Pa. It's incredibly important so don't forget.

Most important

I always find this question interesting because I get a lot of different answers on this:

What is the most important right we have?

For me, more then anything separation of Church and State. I say this because I don't want religion forced on me nor would I want my religion forced on you. (For the record I am Jewish) I feel those who try to force their religion on me are worse then scum. Again that's my feeling. That doesn't mean I don't believe in god and don't worship in my way but that should be private. Completely private.

I'd like to know what you think.

Why

I'm a little confused why so much attention is being put on the Pope visiting the United States. Isn't this the same organization that just brushed aside how many millions to cover up priests who molest children? Really never saying anything about it just brushing it aside?

New Info

Yesterday there was breaking news here in Los Angeles: We are going to have a large Earthquake in the next 30 years.

I've been told that since I was a kid. I understand it's going to happen. I understand it might happen sooner then later. I am as prepared as I can be but what I was hoping for (which I know is a long way away from happening) is if there is specific info. I guess they gave what fault lines are more probable and that's something BUT I think people are too complacent regarding earthquakes after all the last big Earthquake in Southern California was 14 years ago when we had the Northridge Earthquake.

I know it's a matter of when but how exact.

Why we are in a recession

Even though fearless leader Bush denies it we are clearly in a recession. It's very simple why. Something Bush knows obviously nothing about and that's economics. Here is why we are in a recession:

A) Prices for goods are higher then when he took office

B) Wages have not gone up equal to the rise in goods

And we are in a recession.

It's that easy.

The truth

Robert you had a quote on your website that applies here that I know I'm paraphrasing so if you can give me the exact quote I'd appreciate it. The quote was something like if you make them angry your making them think. I guess that's what Barrack Obama is doing that and doing that quite well.

He made an excellent, accurate statement and as always instead of the discussion being about the statement the discussion is is Obama an elitist. That answer is obviously no and I feel he is more on the pulse of small town America then Clinton or more of the same McCain. His statement should be talked about not if he is an elitist but no one seems to be doing that. Yeah people are bitter. People blame everyone but who is responsible (and again both parties are accurately equally responsible). People are hurting. And that what was the statement.

Here is his statement

You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

http://inkslwc.wordpress.com/2008/04/12/barack-obama-bitter-pennsylvanians-cling-to-guns-or-religion/

Who should be in

Everyone knows I'm a huge music fan. I love watching the inductions to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame but I was looking at the list and noticed a few names I feel should be in that aren't (as of yet). Here is my opinion (feel free to add or dispute anyone you wish. And this is according to the criteria that they have which is located at http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/induction-process/)

Eddie Money. Probably the most controversial on the list but with hits ranging from Baby Hold on to Two Tickets to Paradise to Take Me Home Tonight among many others should be inducted.

The Moody Blues

Heart

Robert Palmer

Don Henley. Just as good as a solo artist as a member of the legendary Eagles (who are already in the Hall of Fame)

Genesis

Peter Gabriel

Phil Collins

Pat Benatar

Quincy Jones (obviously as a producer)

And one more controversial one but again qualifies under the criteria: Weird Al Yankovic.

By the way the full list of entries is located here: http://www.rockhall.com/inductees/inductee-list/

Doomed??

I read an article in the Los Angeles Times and the article states how are old friend Osama Bin Laden(remember him) is doomed and is within our grasp.
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-op-coll13apr13,0,1924661.story

Now I'm not sure where the writer of that article has been but George Bush has said several times that he doesn't think about the man responsible for the 9/11 attacks and it's not a priority for him. Bush doesn't want the attacker on 9/11 to be caught and he doesn't care.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/03/20020313-8.html

That is a link to the press conference where Bush said Bin Laden isn't important.

I guess all those who died on 9/11 died for nothing and Bush doesn't want to avenge their deaths.

When will this come around?

Just wondering when John "more of the same" McCain will get asked how he feels about abortion and a woman's right to choose. If you look at his voting record you will clearly know this alleged "maverick" is very right wing.

http://www.salon.com/opinion/conason/2008/04/11/mccain_abortion/

That's a link I was sent by my friend Tom that shows the more you look at more of the same McCain the more toward the right he is. Wonder when the alleged liberal media will call him out on that!

He lied

Why doesn't Bush just admit he lied to us about Iraq. There is really nothing he can lose since he is already the most hated President of all time!

The truth is he doesn't care one bit about our troops. That's the reason why he doesn't want them to come home ever. He is nothing but a coward and if anyone can defend this psychopath I DARE you.

There was no honorable reason to go to Iraq. None at all. It's time Bush told the truth about that!

Of course

I just figured why Bush is in such a rush to get another free trade agreement, this time with Columbia. Columbia is well known for the drug trade and since Bush is a drug addict it makes sense. Of course why else would he want a trade agreement with that country.

Betray us

After watching alleged General Betrayus (not a typo) today just push back yet again any hope to bring our soldiers home from our occupation of Iraq and watching Bush (not coincidently) give a medal of honor to a soldier he murdered and almost look sincere it's just a sick thing to watch. It's sick to watch how he just plays the public as idiots and what's worse is the right-wing mainstream media never seems to pick up on this. It's just sad how Bush has misled this country and if more of the same McCain slimes his way into the White House it's going to get worse.

Guessing who is going to be Vice President

Right now candidates will be choosing who the Vice President choices should be. It's an important decision (especially for more of the same McCain) but let me give an idea who is on each one's short list:

McCain:
Condoleeza Rice. I think she would be a good choice for him cause she would be a hit with the right wing. Would continue his policies (since his policies are the same as Bush) and would come across strong.

Alan Greenspan. I think he would be an interesting choice cause by more of the same McCain's own admission he doesn't know about the economy.

Joe Lieberman. If more of the same McCain wants more independent voters he would pick the Democratic turncoat in Lieberman.

Mike Huckabee. If more of the same McCain wants to go after the religious right he would pick him.

Mitt Romney. Has a huge wallet and that would be a plus for more of the same McCain.



Now for Clinton/Obama if they don't pick each other.

John Edwards. Solid heathcare plan would be a plus for either. Is an expert campaigner and honestly would be the best prepared if something awful should happen to Clinton or Obama.

Bill Richardson. Great choice especially if they want to court Latino Voters

Chris Dodd. Strong on Defense. Well experienced.

Wesley Clark. Ex-General. Lots of military experience. Strong choice.

Evan Bayh. Indiana Senator would help in the midwest area

Al Gore. I know this is a longshot but a choice of him would energize the Democratic Party even more then it is now.

Eating Crow Again

Everyone knows I'm a U.C.L.A. fan and am eating crow yet again. Obviously I give credit to Memphis they were clearly the better team yesterday and were a better team then I gave them credit for all year but I just don't understand. Oh well at least they did better then U.S.C.

Another Reminder

After seeing yesterday John "more of the same" McCain march in a parade honoring Dr. Martin Luther King I think we need a reminder that he WAS OPPOSED to the creation the holiday honoring him.

http://www.foxbusiness.com/article/dnc-john-mccains-real-record-mlk-holiday_549545_1.html

Just a continued reminder of how much a loser this person is.

Scary

This story should scare the hell out of everyone.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23942137

It shows how FAA whistleblowers were threatened with their jobs for reporting the truth. The truth that the planes you fly in are NOT safe. And the defective planes were allowed to fly putting hundreds if not thousands of people in danger. If that doesn't scare you nothing will.

Sad part is the Bush filled Supreme Court recently ruled that employers COULD retaliate against employees so they are right to fear for their jobs.

Thanks George for keeping the people who do the work in mind.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/31/washington/31scotus.html?ex=1306728000&en=fba3fe4acfc7592f&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

A topical question

Is it ok to torture terrorists to get information? That is the subject of a 2003 memo by then White House Council David Woo who said absolutely that laws do not apply. Woo said "If a government defendant were to harm an enemy combatant during an interrogation in a manner that might arguably violate a criminal prohibition, he would be doing so in order to prevent further attacks on the United States by the al Qaeda terrorist network," Yoo wrote. "In that case, we believe that he could argue that the executive branch's constitutional authority to protect the nation from attack justified his actions." The following has a link to the memo.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/01/AR2008040102213.html?hpid=topnews

I THINK of course that it is wrong to torture anyone but if you read this idiots reasons in the memo it's truly bizarre. And a question I will ask which never gets answered for some reason when our troops get captured and they get tortured as we do will you be pissed off even though the reasons are the same? And since Bush authorized torture does that make him to put able to be put on trial for war crimes as that is clearly a violation of the Geneva Convention?

Closures

Sad day as one of my favorite hangouts, Yankee Doodles, is going to close it's doors on Monday April 7th. It's sad cause that was the only real sports bar in the West San Fernando Valley. The reason why it's closing is Westfield, the owner of local malls Topanga Plaza and the Prominade, wants to create a huge monstrosity which connects the two separate malls into one huge mall. Sad.
