This is treason by Jesus Jones Tuesday, August 5, 2008 PERMANENT LINK To provoke war, Cheney considered proposal to dress up Navy SEALs as Iranians and shoot at them
Stop, please, and re-read that until it sinks in: These American leaders seriously discussed having American Navy SEALs shot, in a false-flag operation to trigger another war. This is treason, like so much of the Bush-Cheney administration. Jesus Jones  Why Cipro, when that's not the recommended antibiotic? by Herb Ruhs, MD Tuesday, August 5, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Yes, dear friends, the monsters are no longer confined to the area under the bed. And yes, these monsters are quite capable of railroading a scientist and even murdering him and trying to make it look like a suicide in order to clear the case and put enquiring minds to rest on the issue of possible official culpability in domestic terrorism. Herb Ruhs, MD Tell me again by JR Mooneyham Tuesday, August 5, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Just call it the USS George W. Bush? They only had to spend $5 billion plus to figure out it was a warship which couldn't fight in wars. Not even wars of near 70 years ago (WWII). Stealth destroyer is largely defenseless, admiral says
Tell me again: how is universal healthcare a worse investment than this?
Haven't there been a lot of articles about McCain missing votes because of his campaigning? Can't any GOP ads about this Democrat be turned around and used against McCain? JR Mooneyham (www.jrmooneyham.com/) I've seen a few articles making that complaint about McCain, but he's McCain, so the articles never resonate past one news cycle. Helen & Harry
Exxxcellent by Mr. Burns Tuesday, August 5, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Texas Republican asks Libertarian candidates to drop out in close races Exxxcellent -- the Libertarian Party could take enough votes from Republicans to give Democrats a few more congressional seats in Texas. Mr. Burns Beer call by Madeline Zane Tuesday, August 5, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Re Money beats the ban by JR Mooneyham I guess the next thing to become exclusively available to the rich after that would be beer.Umm, I hate to break this to you, JR, but I live not far from Milwaukee, and I’ve read more than once in the papers that due to sharp increases in the price of grain and gas, that yeah, that’s pretty much what’s next. Madeline Zane Old hens by Chris M. Tuesday, August 5, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Local food gets trendy
How in the world did this become "new"?? When I grew up in NorthEast Ohio, nearly everything we ate was local and quite often from our own gardens. What we did not grow, we got from vegetable stands out in front of some farm. And we would either freeze or can any extra for over the winter. I did not know of anybody who did not do this. The "Farmers Markets" in Cleveland or Pittsburgh Pa or Philadelphia Pa. had produce from local farms not trucked in from who know where. Even the fruit was local. As well as the meat and chicken. I had a friend outside Phillie that raised chickens and sold the eggs for extra money. (But you really don't want to eat old hens that stop laying. Talk about tough and gamy.) I guess I must belong in the Smithsonian or something.
There is still an elephant in the kitchen that nobody wants to acknowledge. That is the "easy credit" that started in the 70s with the availability of credit cards. Which made it so much easier for the Shylocks and con artists -- who pose as bankers and businessmen -- to charge whatever they damn well pleased for their "product" and to employers to screw works out of their wages with little consequence. They would do this by convincing people they could still have the "good life", just charge it to the plastic and various dodgy investment schemes. Now the piper has to be paid and everyone is in hock up to their eyebrows. Chris M. Hard to do by Siskiyousis Tuesday, August 5, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Re Corporations as doomsday devices by Pavel C. There is no conceivable outcome of breaking up these corporations which would be worse than keeping them as they are.Yes, but WHO will do the breaking? Siskiyousis The wealth of arrogance and ignorance by psycop Tuesday, August 5, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Re Why can't Iran have nukes? by HappySysiphus Yea... wake up sheeple! What I can't stand is ppl who think we as a nation have the right to tell another sovereign nation what they can or cannot do. The premise that we do so to protect ourselves has proven to be completely bogus time and time again. Even if someone was dumb enough to toss a couple nukes our way it's quite obvious as to what to outcome of that would be. WTF would ppl think if Mr. Putin decided to park a slew of carriers out there somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico? Couldn't they use the same rational as we do that in fact we're the threat and that the "imperialist Americans" need to be kept in check? No it wouldn't play out the same way it did almost 50 years ago, it would be quite different. The war of economics, education and technology is what we should be concerning ourselves with, not trying to find another way to make more $$ for the war machine, Bush and his cronies. That's the war we're losing. Sheesh, the wealth of arrogance and ignorance is astounding. psycop |
