WHO WAS THE REAL THRILLER?
Yes Michael Jackson will be missed! He was the King of pop, or was that pop’s ,just what did the little boys call him. What I miss is the 1,000’s of Farah Faucet posters we would have seen, in the media last week, were it not for her demise being upstaged by the King of Wacko. My guess is the little boys will say Jacko you are not missed, the men will say Farah you are.
WEEKEND WITH BERNIE…NOT
Hopefully for the rest of Bernie Madoffs life his weekends will be spent with a 300 pound, bad breath, foul body smelling, elder L.A. Crip lifer with an attitude and active sex life.
U.S. PULLS OUT OF IRANS CITIES
Our solder’s are still dying over there. Lets not forget the implications of bad policy, leaders who mislead us and a Congress full of followers, our solder die. This bad political policy was executed on the ground by the strongest most professional armed forces in the world. This example of our will to fight may be the Bush legacy. That alone will keep the enemy from our shores.
“I’LL BE BACK” MORPHED INTO I.O.U
The Schwarzenegger’s legacy. Too many steroid’s have caused the pumping Gov to be characterized as ‘surrel” “odd” and “completely unacceptable.” After Bush and now Schwarzenegger, just why would any body except RUSH… vote for a Republican?
REPUBLICANS GLEEFULLY STOMP ON THE REPUTATION OF A HISPANIC WOMAN
The Supreme Court on Monday narrowly ruled in favor of white firefighters in New haven Conn. By narrow that means some of justices did not rule in favor of the firefighters. In fact often there are simple majorities not unanimous votes that pass Supreme Court opinions. Many want to bash Judge Sonia Sotomayor because her lower court judgement caused the appeal. Republicans have said “ This case will raise more questions in the minds of the American people concerning Judge Sotomayors commitment to treat each individual faily and not as a mamber of a group,”said Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the senior Republiocan on the Senate judiciary Committee.
Bunk, the case is far more complicated and subtle that than this inbred craker comment would indicate. Sotomayor will not be another mediocre yes woman for the American right wing. She will be her own person. Good pick Mr. President. With this attack why would any Hispanic support the republican party.
BLOGGING FOR MICHIGAN- DEMOCRATS ARE ABOUT TO GIVE IT UP
Check out Christines article. She says “ …the democrats are about to capitulate on the public option on health care.” see her story at http://bloggingformichigan.com/
LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE OF OUR TROOPS IN THE FIELD PROTECTING OUR BORDER.
Become a public policy warrior. Listen ,you want elected official to reflect the majority opoinion for the most part, let them know what it is, we want national healthcare. Other times concerning issues of ethics or justice we want the timid we elect to become lions. The reality is except for a Kennedy, Obama or Joe none wish to get too far out front. Push them out front with the strength of your voice. Get involved.
TO THE CITIZENS OF IRAN
Keep it up, your battle , citizens of your country confronting power in your country is how freedom is really won.
