The Thirst of the Crowd


Aye there matey! I think we have a chance to blow the lid off of this one.

That's what I saw in yesterday's news. The mea cupla that the public seems to be interested in came out as... Bill Clinton Bombed Iraq in 1998! The Congress voted for it! Tenet said it was a slam dunk!

For crying out loud.

I reflect back to the time when we were going to Red, Yellow, Orange at the drop of a hat. California closed the Golden Gate Bridge once. The republicans went after war heroes because they opposed a labor issue in the Patriot Act! It was like Joe Mc Carthy's Homecoming in Washington. I was ready to hear, Have you or have you ever known anyone Mr. Sisyphus that had been to Canada? Get em up against the wall and hand him a cigar folks, we's shootin today.... sorta 1950s American meets 1890s Russia. People were telling me that Iraq was going to drop Mustard Gas out of helicopters in soda cans and ruin my tomato plants.

Who was able to dissent?

Crap! It was all crap! And everyone in the congress and everyone in the Whitehouse knew it was crap, but the agenda was set and we were blood thirsty. Thirsty for a kill. Afganistan? Who are those guys anyway? Those were the guys who took the picture Kate Moss... oh yeah, that's right.

So are you dying of thirst? Is that because liquid propane is about $2.00 a gallon? Or is that because gasoline has deigned to drop to $2.25 for the next couple of weeks. How about that cost of living raise? Have you seen that yet? How about your tuition, that gone down? Nah, none of it has, but wait until you see what they agree upon this year. I can't wait.

So here is a couple of things to whet the whistle.

The speech. It makes good wall paper.

Corruption from the gate.

A plea.

Ethics 101.

And I like how the fact that this got out is more important that what it really says about the new regime.

Just an analysis.

Keep your cards close.

You get what you pay for.

There is still plenty in the well America.
