molly,will you marry me?

Yep. So what else is new. It must be election time or something. Pleased for the NW Hawaiian Islands though.

The man is soo transparent. I will restrain myself from swearing.

Again, Molly, thank you.

It is certainly a wondrous time of year election time that is. It is the only season of the year that politicos become such good citizens. George wants to protect the fish while he lets the oil companies turn us into walking thermometers with all the mercury they put in the air. And today I read about two former Clintonites Carter and Perry who want to preemptively bomb North Korea. And won’t that make South Korea happy? You bet.

Look how up is down. Republicans become democrats and democrats become republicans. Was it not too long ago the republicans wanted to give us all one hundred bucks free to burn on gas? What happened to pulling yourself up by your boot straps, say, let’s see if we can get them to up that to one thousand bucks and we won’t need boot straps. Next thing you know we will have Ted Kennedy telling us we should liberate North Korea and George Bush will refuse because it would not be responsible.

Imagine that.

One has to wonder how much else is going unnoticed as this is the most behind the door and under the table and don’t let the democrats into the meeting administration that ever was. Perhaps the democrats will propose drilling for oil in Bush’s eleven acre lake that is situated on his ranch but Bush will want to save the fish there as well. I can see it now. Bush will hire Noam Chomsky as a consultant to save his lake.

But why is there all this republican secrecy? Surely they have the best interests of the country in mind. Katrina, social security dismantled, phone taps, orange alerts, apple alerts, watermelon alerts. Who could object to that?

So our president watches a Jean-Michel Cousteau documentary and declares the Northwestern Hawiian Islands a national monument?  And this even garnered him a “Well done, Mr. President” editorial in the LA Times?  Hmm, to get things done that benefit us, maybe we might as well go back to the days of yesteryear, with the divine right of kings, and have our Royal Highness, King George II, hold court every now and then. - “Pray tell, noble servant, what do you want of me?” In order to give these court sessions at least the fascade of being democratic, petitioners could be selected through a national lottery ..  What’s even more exciting, the event could be held on prime-time TV,.  where its popularity surely would rival that of American Idol.  Meanwhile we could toss out everything this side of and including the Magna Carta that’s got anything to do with bringing us the freedom and democracy that we enjoy today.  Compared to a lottery?  Who needs that stuff, anyway?

I wonder how may other republicans are embarassed to admit these shmucks are in their party?

You can be darned sure that if there was even the remotest reason to allow offshore oil drilling in those waters off of Hawaii, Bush wouldn’t have even considered declaring it a marine sanctuary.

And isn’t it just swell to know that big business isn’t just writing Congress’ legislation for them, but they’re also deciding what laws and taxes should be allowed to expire.  Unless or until this country’s federal elections are financed with public funds America is going to continue on its inexorable trip to hell in a handbasket.

Election? Shouldn’t there be a modifier in front of that like in “rigged election”?

You know if what is going on now doesn’t make “we the people” angry enough to take our country back from the self-serving myopic elitist oligarchy (the Oil Neocons) now running things ... then we the people don’t deserve to be in charge around here.

What these Oil Neocons don’t seem to understand while preaching free markets is that having a closed clique in power (oligarchy, dictatorship, divine right of kings/queens, etc.) is conversely proportional to a creative, vibrant society ... if their power goes up, the society goes done. In simple language, for all their vaunted brilliance, they’re idiots! Actually, they are plain old garden-variety greedy bastards.

You know, a person might even acquiesce for awhile --like in the rule of a benevolent king--if the Neocons weren’t so damn incompetent. They’ve taken a darn good country--one of the best (if not THE best) ever--and run it into the ground.

And then they try to tell we the people that we shouldn’t bw upset?! Are they kidding us?

Give ‘em Hell, Molly! The Good Book promises that the Truth will make us free.

Folks:

Just keep you eye on the ball; the Repugnicans insist that it is an equal scandal opportunity affects Dems and Repugs.  Not true if count scandals:  (1) Dems I count masybe 2 and they are recent.  (2) With the REpugs I count up around 12 to 13.  So it really isn’t an opportunity scasnalization of our system of government.

I am a registered R and I am personally ashamed to think that these as...les get up in front of CSPAN and show how disconnected they are from us the citizenry.
