Nothing makes me madder than

The world is mad at the USA. Even our network news reports thus. And if you check World news we are shit for having stirred a hornets nest of terroriest activity everywhere. The Bush Adminstration has damaged the entire world. The war in Iraq is a disaster and should be declared as such just like Florida.
It is a bit hard to belief.

Today's thoughts

It is unfortunate that 60 minutes opened up this issue about Bush's military service. It is not important. It is a fact that any children of rich well connected families were able to avoid the war in Vietnam. Kerry served there . I don't know the status of his family.
It is all not important compared to the real issues in this election.
It should be clear to anyone that reads the news or watches TV (even Fox) , that the decision to go to war in Iraq was ( to put it gently) NOT WELL THOUGHT OUT. Lots of people have DIED. The country of Iraq is a mess, with no hope of peace soon, and as it turns out Hussein was no threat to anyone but the people of Iraq . And NOTE! This situation exists in lots of countries where a Dictator is in power. Just look at Africa.
So there are only two issues in this election. The War, and the Economy. What can you do when you have made a 100 billion dollars 1000 lives mistake. Well George Bush smiles for thcamera and says the prospects are good good good give me 4 more years . Chaney lies about everything with vigor. Truthfully Chaney is the power behind the throne, and his agenda is about money for his circule and perhaps control of all government spending.

On the other hand, Kerry is a, better than the incumbent choice.
To be clear I would vote for Fidel Castro as president before I would want 4 more years of Bush.
At least Castro is an intelligent man

I read the news today oh boy. Actually I saw on some news TV that 999 American servicemen have died in Iraq. By tomorrow, most likely, 1000 deaths. Now what have we've gotten in exchange for these lives? Do you feel safer? Have there been any benefits to the American people or the world in general? Is the middle east more stable? Has terrorism beed reduced?
NO!
Terrorism is a growth industry. Israeli and Palestine are locked in a suacide pact. Iran is working on A-bombs, not to mention North Korea ( ignored by Bush and US media) who have built them.
The real dangers have not been addressed by Bush.
Actually He's not interested in them at all. His agenda ( in part) is to transfer great wealth from the American people to a select group of industries. Munitions providers at least build a product. The support industries only feed on the destruction. Worse, they steal. Even the media has reported the abuse. Remember the over charging by Halaburtion? The public hasn't. Where is the outrage that we should be feeling!
Well it is there. A lot of people have taken to the streets over it, but little media coverage from TV networks has made it to prime time. Why? (money?) A lot of words written in editorials support the view that the war makes no sense at all, but I don't find the unabashed outcry of insult that should evident in any analysis of the Bush administrations policies.
It seems that much better writers than me are hedging there bets in print and TV.
In the meantime blood is on the ground.
And 100 billion dollars (yes billion) of future American (middle class) wealth is sinking into the sand. But that is economics and that will be the next post.

RNC The bush speech

I'm watching George bush speak at the RNC. It is quite a show. There must be some professional TV production talent behind this as it views like an event rather than a speech.
Looks good , sounds good well structured and timed, a lot of effort has been put into this. A lot of money. It reminds me of the TV program "survivor" Well made fantasy. Clearly phony but structured to feign reality. Lies spoken with sincerity.
The time honored tradition of bad mouthing your political opponent has reached great heights at this convention but in this speech the references are so out ot context as to be lying via omission.
I listened to the entire thing and was a good performance. Exactly that, a performance of a script written professionally by media experts. Lofty promises early on so they will be forgotten.
The last part with a little self referenced humor and an emotional ending is brilliant TV. Followed by a showy party thing with conffettie and balloons and gospel music.
The tragedy is that many people may be swayed by this presentation despite it's lack of meaningful content and disregard of truth.

I can't express too strongly my wish that voters will see past the sham and save America from the disaster that will result if the Bush administration continues.
