hello. this is the time of year when you can easily identify the “A” team, because they are noticeably absent on vacation. we are left to muddle through distractions from the health care fraud and the upcoming ‘cap and trade’ embezzlement; with ‘b’ rated sideshows. it was premature, playing the ‘trounce the American golfing hero’ card, before the Christmas (celebration of the birth of our Lord, for you progressive atheists out there: in the coldness of global warming) break; as now, with the return from homeland America, and the nastiness of their constituents- all of our attention will be focusing squarely on the health fraud issue. happy year of recovery to America.

Be afraid!  Be very afraid!  It’s much easier to manage you if you are afraid because then you will just sit passivly and watch what is happening with your mouth open and your eyes glazed over in a cold stare.  “we don’t know”  “we can’t say for sure”  “we are working on it”  “I don’t want to get into that yet” etc. etc.

Nothing like a nice holiday scare to make people withdraw into their houses (if they have one) and shut the door and lock it, just to be sure.  Otherwise known as “Homeland Security.”

PS—See.  We just had to send those 50,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan to dispose of these 150 or so fanatics increasing every day because they hate us.

Hmmm, something is happening here on truthdig because when
I try to watch videos such as this one, there is no connection,
the proposed video box is blank and this is on top of when
typing a comment, the structure or format creates what you see
in JACK’s comment, a bunch of broken or disconnected lines; and
now information clearing house has a ‘register & login’ system
that is far to entailed towards having to be a twitter, face or
some other arcane chat connection that it just is not worth it
and truthdig seems to be creating the same kind of ‘disconnects’
that aren’t conducive to ‘playing the game’.

it’s all al queda all the time - the demure disclaimers from regime officers are
well-delivered, e.g. “...I don’t want to get into that, David.” Of course not, he
doesn’t have to. David’s already all over it.

This has got Shoe-Bomber useful fool written all over it - both regime officers
cited the origin of the terror as Af-Pak - timing is perfect

They saved the best till last - Meet The Press is brought to you by The Boeing
Co., whose defense contracts are pushing $10 Billion FY 2010, and with
Gingrich whining about the cost of the Health Reform bill - well, it is a farce,
but not for any reason Gingrich, would cite - how dare he point to legislative
corruption.

This has got to be one of the MSM’s most ridiculous comedy shows on offer.
