More Weekend - April 20th



  • It's doom and gloom Sunday. Bob Herbert says: The Democrats are doing everything they can to blow this presidential election. This is a skill that comes naturally to the party. There is no such thing as a can’t-miss year for the Democrats. They are truly gifted at finding ways to lose. Thanks Bob.

  • Bush gushes about how "romantic" it must be to be a soldier. But those of us who have been there know "war is hell." And now the soldiers on the "war on terror" are beginning to speak out.

  • Here's a report published by the National Defense University's National Institute for Strategic Studies, a Defense Department research center. This Pentagon Institute calls the Iraq War "a debacle." Well gee, I guess that's a little more sophisticated than "a fucking mess." Is anyone listening?

  • Here's an article that's painful to read. One reason the U.S. dollar and U.S. economy is imploding is that vital cash meant to buttress banks' reserve requirements and to support bail-out agencies like the FDIC and other stop gap measures is being drained away by parasites in suits who read "Alpha" magazine. The Revolution is coming, my friends.

  • Holy Crap! The stogestic Eugene Register-Guard comes out for Barak Obama.

  • The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy endorses Hillary Clinton. Okay, that's probably unfair to Hillary, but could someone explain to me what this is all about? I know Rush Limbaugh reeealy wants her to win the nomination, but this is getting scary.

  • By the way, is that a Confederate flag behind Bush in the photo above? Someone help me out here....
  • And just for fun: When Bananas Ruled the World.

If you watch the video of the pope/bush speech, you'll see that all of the US state flags were flying at the ceremony. Yes, the one behind Bush in the still photo and located behind the Pope in the video I watched is the state flag of Mississippi, which like Georgia still has the Confederate Flag incorporated as part of the design.

Folks down South aren't typically as progressive as anywhere else... some folks still think the war is on and others are still cooking sour mash in their back 40.

Thank you Brother. I knew someone out there could help me out here. Now, can you explain what all those guys in the white sheets and hoods were doing? Selling hot dogs?
