Click here and here, and you'll see why it is that I'm of the belief that the squawking bobble-heads at Fox News all must be the DNA spawn of Hitler's SS chief Heinrich Himmler.
Specifically in this case I refer to Murdoch boot-licker John Gibson, who has to be one of the most vile creatures to ever dis-grace the public viewing airwaves. A grotesque excuse for a human being indeed.

The Last Throes of Dick Cheney's Sanity . . .
"The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."
----Vice President Dick Cheney, June 20, 2005 in a live interview with Larry King
That infamously asinine and horrifically wrong assessment on the present state of the Iraqi insurgency was broadcast to the American sheeple a mere 7 weeks ago. Since that date 112 United States soldiers have lost their lives in the Bush Mafia's Mideast quagmire and oil snatch.
Of course the most sickening and obnoxious part of "Oil Slick" Cheney's remarks is the fact they spittle forth from the crooked, smirking mouth of a gutless Chickenhawk (I can't even bring myself to call him a man) and a downright evil and heartless prick.
Cheney, if you all recall, had the audacity when asked once why he didn't participate in the Vietnam war (a war he had vocally supported), shamelessly answered, "I had other priorities..."
-- a fucking cowardly reason if ever their was one. The fact that he and fellow Chickenhawk George W. have hooked up and foisted another tragic, unwinnable conflict on the American people (and the world) is vomit-inducing irony at it's height.
Today, 6 more U.S. soldiers died so that Dick Cheney can continue pursuing his "priorities."
I think it's high time Americans pulled their heads out of their collective assholes and begin pursuing some of their own priorities ---- with priority number one being the impeachment, conviction and imprisonment of the entire Bush administration war brigade. A secondary priority would be to put alongside the Bushistas in their prison cells the cheerleading media whores who unquestioningly printed and broadcast every greasy lie that was spoon-fed to them by Karl Rove, Ahmad Chalabi and other administration neo-con goons, and, who pooh-poohed and even mocked those who warned of the folly of shifting attention from the real war on Terror and the destruction and/or capture of Osama Bin-Laden into an ill-advised, ill-planned for invasion of Iraq.
I can't even imagine the uproar and outrage that would be roiling the halls of Congress, the "mainstream" media and the American Sheeple if on June 20, 2005, the above statement about the Iraqi insurgency being in "it's last throes," had instead been uttered by a Vice President John Edwards -- with a totally inept and uncaring President Kerry by his side staring dumbly into the sky and whistling . . . . . . But then those of us with an ounce of intelligence know that Kerry and Edwards would never have put America in this situation to begin with -- don't we?

The Christian Paradox: Professing profound belief in something one knows not a goddamn thing about . . .
Reason # 13,667 ( I think -- oh shit who cares -- I've lost count of the reasons) as to why I am not a Christian.
Read this article: just click here.
How the fuck can people who don't even know the basic tenets and storyline of their own goddamn belief system even dare to look down upon, lecture, criticize, belittle, ostracize, and just be downright dismissive and hostile to those who choose not to partake in their beliefs??
Growing up in the midwest, I had my share of experiences with these bossy, haughty holier-than-thou Jesus cultists. I always knew what mindless fucks they were the minute I tried to engage them in even the most basic of scientific, reality based discussions.
Anyhow, this article really paints a devastating picture of your "average" American Christian. Pretty goddamn pathetic, not to mention scary considering it's these same lunatics that put people like George Bush and his cabal of ignorant jackasses into power in this country.

Bush nominates corporate crook to manage American's savings and investments: Ho-hum! says the mainstream press....
Is there even one honest, decent human being amongst the primordial slimebucket of characters that George W. Bush keeps nominating to high positions of government??
Here we have the latest crook, Rep. Christopher Cox a California Republican, nominated to head the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). The head of the SEC is responsible for rooting out corruption on Wall Street (remember Enron and "Kenny Boy" Lay?) and for vigilant oversight of American's pension plans, 401k's, education funds, etc.
It appears Rep. Cox has perjured himself in front of congress as regards to the extent of his involvement in an investment swindle that cost a boatload of small investors more than $130 million and several lawsuits.
Can anyone see a pattern here with Bush and his picks for high offices?? One could swear he's scraping the bottom of the sleaze and corruption barrel based on the backgrounds of these people.
If the Democrats only had an ounce of spine in their gelatinous backbones, they'd string this prick Cox up by his gonads and then throw this putrid nomination in the trash can where it belongs. Then dump the whole steaming pile of shit on the front doorstep of the White House for the idiot Bush to step in as he walks out the door in the morning.
Read this story and then tell me you trust this cocksucker Cox to manage your life savings. You know what to do -- just click here.

Nevermore speak the Roven. . . .
I've been holding my tongue on the Karl Rove treason case.
Not because I have nothing to say about the story. On the contrary, I've never had such a level of pure disgust and rage welled up inside me aching to direct a humongous load of bilious invective at one individual.
However -- the time has come -- I'm going to start slow . . . . so follow along . . . .
Click here to see what some career CIA operatives (people putting their lives on the line to maintain our national security) have to say about the dirty deeds perpetrated by that slimy toad and coward Rove, along with winks and nods from the boy idiot Bush and his puppetmaster Dick Cheney.
These CIA people are not partisans. They are loyal, patriotic Americans who have seen evil and criminal behavior destroy the undercover work and career of a fellow CIA agent and they are fucking pissed off about it.
If Bush had an ounce of integrity in his sad-sack little-man body, he'd give this cocksucker Rove the heave-ho quicker than the GOP party hacks can scream -- "it's Clinton's fault!"
Don't expect the Bushistas to do what's right though. These people have been fucking America in the ass since the day they squatted their bullying, lying, stealing asses in the White House and they're not about to start apologizing and behaving ethically now.
To them the game is all about maintaining power --- screw the law, screw national security, screw ethics, screw America!! Meanwhile, the GOP party as a whole is doing everything in it's sleazy power to whitewash Rove's crime. Doing so is not only hypocritical, unethical and phony, it enhances the danger to the American people's national security.
Wake the FUCK UP America!! Good god ---- you have criminals running the country!!! Speak up!! Bush, Cheney and Rove don't give a flying fuck about Mr. And Mrs. Mainstream American. They don't!!! Get it thru your thick heads for God's sake!! All they care about is their own level of political and financial power. You, we are all just expendable pawns in their insane little game.
Please Wake up America ---- please? . . .?

GOP Corruption --- Why no mention of it on Fox News?
Yet another GOP corruption story u definitely won't hear Hannity or Limbaugh or any of the other right wing shit-for-brain gasbags talking about. CLICK HERE.
The fact of the matter is the mainstream media only cares about stories involving the activities of Bill Clinton's cock.
Wake up DumbOAmerica --- these lying klowns u listen to -- Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage, O'Reilly, Gibson, they are the cream of the crop of promoters of neo-Nazi Fascism in this country today. They are lying to you and duping you just like Hitler and Goebbels did to the German people in the 1930's decade prior to the Nazi takeover of Germany. They will stoop to any filthy level to portray their counterparts (liberals) as evil and they will willingly betray American security just for political gain.
Just like back then -- they lied --- just like today --- they lie. Stop them --- destroy them!!
Save your country now!!!!

. . . Meanwhile, while the Washington press corpse are chasing the Rove/he is a traitor/he is a traitor not wag the dick story --- a month ago, Vice-President "Oil Slick" Dick Cheney declared triumphantly that the Iraqi insurgency was in "it's last throes."
CLICK HERE to read how Cheney's version of "last throes" is going.
Btw --- isn't it time for Americans to stop believing in the obvious and overt lies and bullshit of Bush/Cheney and start making things right for the world again??? Where is this country's pride?? Fuck!!!!!!!!!

Washington Press corp -- Sunny and Happy times reporting on Bush Family Evil Empire...
Ahhhh!
Back from 3 week vacation visiting family in Minnesota. Was long overdue.
With refreshed body and mind I am now ready to refocus my laser-like wit and merciless attention to the dirty, albeit gleeful, task of exposing the fraudsters, liars, thieves, and just all-around democracy hating fascist bastards who permeate right wing Republican politics these days in America.
Let's get things off to a start with this story of an interview that long-time ABC News and Washington correspondent Ann Compton gave on NPR radio today:
Compton, when asked to describe which scandal and subsequent investigation most stood out in her mind during her 30 + years of covering the White House responded:
Ann Compton: "The most difficult moments are when we’re dealing not with policy, but with human failings, and I think the darkest months that I covered at the White House was at the beginning of the second term of Bill Clinton. President Clinton was accused of engaging in...“behavior”...with an intern, and how offensive many people found it, and the fact that it later turned out the president lied to the country, and lied to federal prosecutors, made that the darkest and most unhappy time I’ve ever covered here."
Imagine that!! The most horrible and darkest and unhappy time poor old Ann ever had in 30+ years of covering the White House was when Bill Clinton fibbed about getting his free, lovingly and willingly given blow-job from Monica Lewinsky. HORROR OF HORRORS!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!
Good god all-fucking mighty!!! Does it really surprise anyone why most people hold Ann and her sexually-repressed, bird-brained, millionaire, pampered-elite media brethren in such low esteem these days?
A married man, The President of the United States of America, put in the spotlight, trying to squirm his way out of having to publicly admit that he let a flirtatious, obsessive, star-struck, nutty slut slurp his boner was a more horrid story to have to cover than say ---
.... ohhhh -- A dubiously elected President and Vice President lying through their teeth about the reasons for going to war against a sovereign nation, slaughtering upwards of 100,000 Iraqi civilians, wasting the lives of 1800 brave American military personnel, funneling billions of dollars to their corrupt cronies in the defense industry, bankrupting the national treasury, alienating long-time allies around the world, bumbling the war on terrorism, bumbling the aftermath of their ill-advised Iraq invasion, losing billions of Iraqi oil dollars earmarked for reconstruction of Iraq's bombed out infrastructure into an untraceable black hole, lying about the non-existent connection between Saddamn Hussein and the 9/11 attacks, lying about their twisted, deliberate outing of a covert CIA agent in order to politically backstab her husband because he told the truth about their lying in the Iraq/Niger yellow-cake case, lying about practically every policy issue they've been trying to shove down America's throat, and basically just being greedy, dishonest, thieving politicians who's disdain for the rule of law and democracy ought to have them at the top of the list of TRAITORS to this country.
But nooooooooooooooooooo ---- Ann Compton says Clinton's free hummer was a much darker, and unhappy time for poor sensitive reporters like her --- boo hoo hoo!! Darker Ann?? Monica playing Bill's skin-flute was a darker episode in the history of mankind than Bush, Cheney and Rove's lies that have resulted in the violent, bloody deaths of tens of thousands of people and the absolute destruction of America's prestige around the world?? And what is this "unhappy" shit?? Who cares if your unhappy Ann?? It's your fucking job to report unhappy news to people. Nobody gives a flying monkey's ass about your personal feelings about the stories you report on. Your personal feelings have no goddamned business being involved in your work anyhow. And finally Ann, according to your own words then, if the Clinton/Lewinsky episode was the darkest most unhappiest reporting you've ever had to do, what does that say about your reporting on the current Bush administration and their crimes against America and the world?? You feel sunnier and happier about what they're doing in all of our names??? If that's truly the case ---- Fuck you and your cowardly ilk Ann.
Any wonder I view the Washington press corp with such a jaundiced eye and a gutful of bilious revulsion?? Any wonder at all???

"Shame is for sissies" -- and other ponderings on the evil that men do...
Wow!!
If you read anything this millenium, read this powerful article by Hal Crowther.
Share it with friends, family, anyone who has even the slightest bit of doubt about the Bush administration and where it's leading America. Rest assured, in doing so, you'll be doing your part to salvage what's left of democracy in this country.
Here's a brief excerpt:
"We have no heroes among politicians; we've seen too many clowns and thieves on both sides of the aisle. We don't vilify the president (Bush) because we disagree with his philosophy; he has no philosophy. We oppose him because we're conditioned to hate liars, hypocrites, bullies and "serial abusers of little people," and he's assembled the most frightening collection we've ever seen."
This "frightening collection" of right-wing fascists savaged and impeached a damn good President and leader for a private, consensual sexual affair. They cast the mold and defined the standard for what is an impeachable offense.
Can't any of you fucking stupid, pig-headed fellow Americans see the difference between a lie about a personal affair and a fucking dump-truck full of lies about starting a needless war, invading and obliterating a sovereign nation that was no threat to us, sending 1700 (current count) brave American soldiers to their deaths, maiming 10,000 others, slaughtering between 50,000 and 100,000 Iraqi civilians (many children), cozying up to a corrupt Saudi regime (remember 17 of the 21 September 11th hijackers were from Saudi Arabia) all the while bankrupting this country's treasury, drastically cutting social services, enacting tax cuts that primarily benefited the already wealthy, enriching campaign donating cronies in the oil, gas, timber, financial and arms industries, gang-raping the environment, and -- with their Stalinesque Patriot Act legislation - preparing to turn America into a modern day goose-stepping police state???? Add in an unhealthy dose of fanatical religious intolerance with pinings for Theocratic government and you have the perfect recipe for a modern-day Neo-Nazi society. Are that many of you people in this country that bat-shit insane????
If American democracy ends up on the trash heap of history alongside history's previously vanquished and self-imploded empires, it will be the same old story --- a people craven and cowardly, afraid and unwilling to stand firm and look evil in the face and to sacrifice their own few crumbs of the creature comforts pie in order to save the collective soul of their countrymen.

If it talks like a chickenhawk and walks like a chickenhawk . . . . .
Lest it be forgotten or simply not known --- here's a very timely synopsis of why America is, once again, mired in a needless war against a country that was no threat to us and which has wasted human life on both sides, bankrupted the national treasury -- saddling our children's futures with war debt, and diminished our reputation in the eyes of practically the entire civilized world. Granted - - all of that means nothing while war profiteers and big GOP donors like Halliburton, Bechtel, GE, KBR, and all of the crooked oil companies are making money hand-over-fist. If there is a God, there's a special room reserved in Hell for all of these people that have profited off of the human suffering of this evil war.
Speaking of evil -- here's the synopsis I mentioned -- a virtual who's who of flag-waving, bible-thumping, war-loving hypocrites that permeate the ranks of the GOP and right-wing media shills. Of course, they only love war as long as it's against a much weaker foe and as long as it's someone elses (preferably poor Democrats) kids doing the fighting and dying. This list is not made up. All information is culled from public records. In the end, if you find yourself surprised that practically the entire GOP leadership along with their media cheerleaders are a bunch of yellow-bellied, cowardly arm-chair soldiers --- then perhaps you ought to be very, very angry with your "mainstream" media. This information is available to all, but you'll never hear it talked about on FOX, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC or AM hate radio. The mainstream media in this country these days treats the truth and cold, hard facts like it's the bubonic plague.
Nonetheless, read this list, then tell me who the real patriots in this country are. I dare you:
Who served in the military?
Prominent Democrats:
Representative Richard Gephardt, former House Minority Leader
Missouri Air National Guard, 1965-71.

Staff Sgt., United States Air Force 1968-72
Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle
1st Lt., U.S. Air Force SAC 1969-72
Former Vice President Al Gore
enlisted August 1969; sent to Vietnam January 1971 as an army journalist, assigned to the 20th Engineer Brigade headquartered at Bien Hoa, an airbase twenty miles northeast of Saigon.
Former Senator Bob Kerrey
Lt. j.g., U.S. Navy 1966-69; Medal of Honor, Vietnam
Senator Daniel Inouye
US Army 1943-'47; Medal of Honor, World War Two
Senator John Kerry
Lt., U.S. Navy 1966-70; Silver Star, Bronze Star with Combat V, and three awards of the Purple Heart for his service in combat
Representative Charles Rangel

Speaking of evil -- here's the synopsis I mentioned -- a virtual who's who of flag-waving, bible-thumping, war-loving hypocrites that permeate the ranks of the GOP and right-wing media shills. Of course, they only love war as long as it's against a much weaker foe and as long as it's someone elses (preferably poor Democrats) kids doing the fighting and dying. This list is not made up. All information is culled from public records. In the end, if you find yourself surprised that practically the entire GOP leadership along with their media cheerleaders are a bunch of yellow-bellied, cowardly arm-chair soldiers --- then perhaps you ought to be very, very angry with your "mainstream" media. This information is available to all, but you'll never hear it talked about on FOX, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC or AM hate radio. The mainstream media in this country these days treats the truth and cold, hard facts like it's the bubonic plague.
Nonetheless, read this list, then tell me who the real patriots in this country are. I dare you:
