George Bush the W - Just Look Around

Phil Gramm - we are a nation of whiners. Yup, Mr. Gramm, you're right. And now it's time to take action. You are guilty of helping create the Enron mess as well as this one. I believe in personal responsibility. You need to be in jail.

George W Bush - you need to be in jail.

Dick Cheney - you need to be in jail.

Donald Rumsfeld - you need to be in jail.

Condoleeza Rice - you need a real job and a makeover.

It's a shame it's against the law to tar and feather these people.

Let the run on the banks begin. Hope you like Ramen.

An Open Letter To Lou Dobbs

Rather than singing the same songs to the same choir night after night why don't you put your money where your mouth is and do something that may help change this country instead of just whining about it? What I mean is we have a solution to not just the oil crisis but the ability to render oil besotten tyrants impotent. It's called oil shale and we have, in just a few states, more than five times what the saudis have. Congress passed an act in 1910 allocating these fields to the federal government to develop. Exxon was there until they pulled out in 1982.

What wasn't profitable at $25-40 a barrel is mind numbingly simple at $147. Just the threat of bringing this supply to the market might create some relief, perhaps down to a level where it's not profitable to produce. But no one is talking about this. And you, with the loudest mouth and highest criticism of anyone with whom you don't agree should have jumped on this...but you were too busy engaginig in self promotion to actually make the "best news team on the planet" actually do their jobs. By the way? If "the best news team on the planet" had been doing their jobs for the last eight years we might not be in the sorry state we're in. So how about doing some homework and presenting some solutions instead of trying to sell books and xenophic ideas?

IS SHALE OIL OUR SALVATION - TIME TO MAKE CONGRESS EARN THEIR PAYCHECKS

U.S. oil shale reserves in the USA total 1.5 trillion barrels of oil – more than five times the reserves of Saudi Arabia. What was once prohibitively too expensive to produce when oil from the Middle East was $25 – 40 a barrel is now ridiculously cheap.

Shell seems to care. Exxon doesn’t. Exxon shut down its Colony Oil Shale project in May of 1982. Imagine having so much oil we could tell the assholes of the world to go fuck themselves. The entire geopolitical landscape would change.

Most of our shale reserves are under the control of the U.S. government since a Congressional act in 1910, the Pickett Act, authorized President Taft to set aside oil bearing land in California and Wyoming as fuel sources for the Navy. From 1910 to 1925 the Navy developed the Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves Program and it became official in 1927. Roosevelt expanded the program in 1942 as we mobilized for WWII.


So where do we stand today? Maybe it’s time to make Congress earn their paychecks.

Why Nuke Teheran?

How many of us stop to think about the majority of humans on our planet and how they live? While we debate the merits of American Idol and celebrate the cult of ego masquerading as cable news entertainment in many parts of the world consists of rummaging through the garbage dump on the outskirts of town and news is what your mother tells you is important that day. While we celebrate in a kaleidoscope of ways, the delusion of our lives and how they’re reflected in our broadcast images we don’t think about the hundreds of millions of humans without clean water to drink. We’ve spent a hundred years reinforcing that delusion, why change now?

The fact that most of our own people think the Flintstones are a documentary, the earth is less than 10,000 years old and that we were created by a designer shows how dangerous our lives have really become. Especially when there’s a country that not only wants to kill us but has told us so, told us how, told us when and told us why. And we attacked the country next door.

Chicken Little only gets one chance to get it right. W got it wrong. Now when we are going to have to respond to the danger Iran wants to become, how able will we to make the right decision? That nation is going to have to be delivered a reality check because they are insane. They believe the 12th Imam has been hiding since the 13th century and will reappear in the third year of chaos to bring about the end of the world as we know it. They’re dangerous whack jobs as opposed to the other whack jobs on the planet who base their actions on pleasing the figments of twisted imaginations.

This cannot end well.

I Can't Define Smarmy But Know It To See It

The very picture of desire. One can only guess at what he's talking about. But why guess? One meme he's become a regular at injecting into the national discourse is the idea that we might lose the war in Iraq when Obama becomes president. And what follows is that since losing is wrong, our losing the war would be wrong. But he's an ass and most of us know it.


So for those who have forgotten the issue, let's revisit the whole Iraq thing. OK?


We won the war. Got that red voters? Even your leader told us so when he proclaimed, "Mission Accomplished." But I call winning when a country invades, takes your castle, kills your king and takes your treasure. I believe we did that. Except the treasure thing. We've never been a country that cared much about treasure. Probably because we give ours away.


Anyway, for those who are trying to confuse the American people as they try to vote for change. We won the war. We are losing the peace.

And, like Vietnam, it is once again the fault of politicians and not the soldiers.
And John McCain should know that.

So if your going to spin, please do so in time with the music, otherwise you end up looking like that guy above.

Will The Real Jesus Stand Up

Whether your vision of Jesus is the more traditional imaginary one of the soulful face with long hair, beard and expecting eyes,

OR

------------------------------

the more accurate picture of him as a real man of his time, place and culture.

-------------------------------------

------------ONE QUESTION HAS ALWAYS INTRIGUED ME
--------------------------------

We have the Book of Matthew, the Book of Mark, the Book of Luke and the Book of John, plus scads of other works apocryphal, anecdotal, etc. BUT

there is NO Book of Jesus.

Why is that?

Why did the most influential man on the planet leave nothing but hearsay behind?

And if something sounds stupid it generally isn't true.

So it's probably not true that Jesus left no written works behind.

That means whatever was left behind was destroyed.

The ramifications are truly staggering.

Tickets To This Drama Are Free

You are talking to your mother about her recent stroke when Sanjay Gupta, on CNN, describes having a stroke as a result of chiropractic, while looking at an envelope from St. Joseph’s Hospital while making a shopping list ..and you write St. Joseph aspirin on your list knowing that it can help guard against stroke.

Then six weeks later the moment occurs when you would have died if you hadn’t added aspirin to your shopping list due to the point of convergence of stroke memes. And of course you don’t even realize it. It was never for your enjoyment but for the enjoyment of the universe that the irony occurred.

And that is how the universe played out a drama on the stage of itself.

Why McCain Is Out Of Touch

16 YEARS? The Lexington Project, McCain's attempt to bring a sense of urgency to our nation's energy policies, is going to take 16 years. Why Brittney Spears will be a grandmother by then!

This is unacceptable. I remember the first urban myth I ever heard only it was told to me by a girl who claimed her father was the inventor instead of a friend of her father's neighbor. The claim was that Ford had a 75 mpg engine it was hiding. It was the 70's and our tags were even. I never did understand why they didn't put that in their cars. Who wouldn't want that? Whether or not that was true, that was almost 40 years ago and we have done squat to deal with the crisis at hand and we've had 36 years.

You've had long enough. A sixteen year plan is just not going to cut it. The idea isn't to entrench your big corporate buddies in the next national handout. The idea is not to hand no-bid contracts out to anyone who supports your administration. The idea is to free ourselves from Opec. And we can do that in four not sixteen years. Kind of like the Manhattan Project and the Apollo program you are trying to compare the Lexington Project to, but not. If they had taken sixteen years, we'd be speaking German and living on Mars by now.

Where there's the will, there's the way. And it won't take sixteen years.

Is It Time To Reconsider Past Modes Of Travel?

If we didn't have to worry about lunatics with automatic weapons and shoulder based missile launchers we might find a new romance in air travel by bringing back the luxury of a bygone era. Actually? We do have the technology to keep an airship as safe as other airborn means of travel.

Note To World

Night is almost over. Dawn arrives in less than 7 months. The gas bags of our time will disappear into irrelevancy as will the pundits that fed off them. Ahmadinejad has informed the planet that he won the nuclear standoff against us. Yeah, and the Pope is straight. Nut jobs who think the Holocaust didn't happen are still allowed to drive. Preachers are still allowed tax deductions for their businesses and the rest of us have to pay taxes to support not just the leagues of Catholic nutjobs with their costumes and statues and imaginary friends, but every half cocked whack job with a collection hat to pass around and the voice to lube the transaction.

The ridiculous excuse for an American as represented by that retard in West Virginia who was just positive Obama was a muslim. We have become a country of idiots. We have a president who, after 8 years, is still calling them nukuler weapons. By the way, how do you spell nucular? The witless wonders who denigrated academics have proven just how wrong they were and how right the rest of us were.

The smartest guy on this planet just tied 80 helium balloons to his lawn chair and took a ride to the next state. Now that's good mileage.

Change is upon us.

Nationalize Our Energy Now

Well I've come to the conclusion that the outrageous rise in energy costs has absolutely nothing to do with supply, demand, the euro, the dollar, investors, ass hole republicans or wimpy democrats.

We are undergoing behavior modification on a national, perhaps global, scale. If it doesn't hurt we won't change our ways. "They" are making it hurt. "THEY" will make it hurt until we agree to open our coastline to offshore drilling.

I once heard it was too expensive to turn our shale oil into oil at 35.00 per gallon, it would have to be 50 or more to be profitable. Or some such craziness. Well where's the shale oil?

It is time for a revolution. It is time to nationalize our vital resources if our private sector can't manage it.
