The excerpt from the Pen is brilliant. It is, however, not one molecule of e-ink better than your commentary.

I read the best of the best regularly, including Chomsky, Solomon, Chris Hedges, Glenn Greenwald, Amy Goodman ['Static', 'Exception to the Rulers' both with David Goodman], Antonia Juhasz 'The Bush Agenda' and 'The Tyranny of Oil', so I'm no easy catch; and I gotta say, Jim,

You are a writers' writer!

Well done!

Hey Ron I didn't recognize you at first, hope you're doing well! I'm a bit grouchy lately, fell off a scaffold 29 daze ago and crushed both heels and related footsie parts. I'm in a wheelchair hoping for that disability check so I can stop stealing my Cat's dinner!

I'll be back on my feet in a few months, so all is as it must be. Hope you and yours are well as can be, and don't forget to check out the Hunza sites.

Then avoid watching C-Span. There are about 450 of them starring as our reps; and another couple dozen hanging off the Hairball in Chief!

Some bright folks here but I am surprised you are missing the Big Picture. These so-called Health Reform debates and whatever cheese-whiz winds up being passedf will have as much impact as my cat's hairballs.

Health care and the economic based discussions taking place in Con-grist are smokescreens to distract us from:

1] Two illegal and endless wars and

2] The reality that both Bushco and Obamaco are servants of the greater Power Elite, who have successfully destroyed Middle Class America.

All actions being foisted off by our sick leaders have the integrity of a putrified hot dog. And America, sadly, just loves its hot dogs.

Wake up People.

In other D.C. news Congrist right now is confronting the latest whirled dilemmas and disasters, the natural and the sub-natural such as the ongoing torture and suffering caused by our illegal wars, by spending lots of time talking about having a closed benefit to celebrate Father Damien, that wonderful man of God who dedicated his life to helping the lepers living in isolation on Molokia, one of the less Heavenly islands of Hawaii.

Ron Paul knows our Congrist critters are mostly useless and dangerous.

If Paul was not such a whining sounding kinda guy he'd have made a good president, and before long he would have been the latest victim in the ongoing neocon quest for U.S. Global Empire.

Possibly saved his life, did that whining demeanor.

Too bad he did not donate that money to some of the Iraqis and Afghannis whose children were maimed since Obama took office.

Could buy a lot of medicine and medical assistance with that money.

Erik, you should do some deeper research if you want to understand the True Nature of our so-called 'missions' in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If you believe our military, our hired guns, our mini-America Iraq Embassy with its
'green zone', and the contractors who keep sucking up OUR tax dollars for the express purpose of controlling every viable business in Iraq, towards the goal of establishing a PERMANENT U.S. presence with free rent for our 'diplomats' and our chickenhawk elitist neocon tyrants who have made BILLIONS since day one of these illegal and lie-infested invasions...

You sound like a person with the ability to learn; but you also evince the character elements of the basic American Faux Noose consumer.

If you read Antonia Juhasz' "The Bush Agenda" you will learn some Truths that will open your eyes to the lies.

Larry, I LOVE that optimism and your grasp of an element that could turn out significant.

"If it gets Obama to attempt to actually earn it, the Prize will have been well placed."

Let's spread that word!

Reality is for those unfortunates who have not learned to cherish their illusions, work towards fulfilling their idealistic dreams, and believe in the potential of Humankind to overcome the evil sides of our True Nature.

In other words...reality SUCKS!!!!

'Hunger is the reality that best describes our failure as a collective Spirit'.

My Cat Balifur said that.

Heya, speaking of cool and relevant quips:

Two Blondes find a Magic Lamp, rub a dub and a Genie pops out.

"Okay Gals" [sayeth the Genie] "you get one wish each but make it QUIK!! I'm in a BIG hurry!"

So the first Blonde demands: "I wanna be Blonder than BLONDE!"

And POOF, she became the blondest Blonde in the Universe!

Then the second gal said: "I wanna be Dumber than DUMB!!"

And PAZOOF! The Genie made her into... A MAN!!!!

well, I tried.......

Hi Robert I always think hard ....ly.

Bush....hmmmm....makes some good bean products, and that beautiful Doggie in their commercials cracks me up.

George Bush and his madministration-in-waiting, the Neocons who are bent on U.S. Global Empire, took political corruption to such heights that they still seem to be above the law.

But no one is above the Laws that power our Universe. Mass murder for profit and power will prove hellishly expensive for those arrogant scum who perpetuated the crimes; and that includes every American and other nations' voters who supported these sick fooks.

Anyone who thinks Bushco is yesterday's news is not paying attention.

You are very kind to say so Linda, let me thank YOU for many fine presentations and your inspired and inspirational spirit!

As luck would have it, I had all three brain cells working in unison, and the galaxies were all carreening through the heavens at precisely the correct moment that my computer quit making those strange unhappy gurgling noises and actually responed to my begging and whining and spasmodically twitching fingertips...

Well stated Sue and Linda, anyone who wants to use guns or violence is not invited to the upcoming Peaceful One Voice Revolution and Music Hootinanny, which I started last winter and which is growing by the tens of people even ax I write these words.

Ron Paul never had a chance to become our Pres. He would not take orders from the men in the shadows. Also, as with Ralph Nader, he does not possess enough personal magnetism to match his good intentions. But Ron Paul also made one major blunder, which removed him from the running - his speech to Congress during the early Bush stolen election years in which Paul tried to warn our whirled about the Neocon / PNAC cabal and those bastards' plans for perpetual war in the Mideast.

If Ron Paul or Ralph Nader were blessed with a more commanding persona, or if the U.S. taxpayers were blessed with enough spiritual integrity to help overcome our Sally Shophappy - Sam Sportsection mentalities, then a peaceful revolution might ensue and we might become capable of raising the most powerful voice ever heard on Planet Earth.

Sadly, our voices are wasted on polarized discussions about left and right, instead of right and wrong.

And sadly, because We the Yammering People have not the guts to take back our country, the Neocons, their Dept. of Offense and Wall Street tycoons, and the Oil Barons, will continue to steal our tax dollars so they can live the lives of insulated luxury, while we fight amongst ourselves instead of fighting our actual common enemy - the Power Elite.

They have won. So far.

Life is short enough already, so I'm learning not to get into little ego-driven battles of wit. But no doubt I will at times forget myself and become just another voice in the cacaphony that is drowning our collective spirit.

But not now.

I'll leave it to each participant to determine what constitutes a personal attack. And yes, I would like to have a burro poop on our entire Government for Hire, minus some good guys and gals, such as Kucinich and Lynne Woolsey. Most of these liars are not working towards peace, few are demanding prosecution of Bushco, and certainly most are doing nothing to repair our ruined economy.

But as long as We the People remain divided, Corpstate Amerikka gets to sit back and laugh at us.

Who rah, for the American Empire and its wars for profit and power for the elite?

Not I.

A quik aside, on C-spin right now our con-grist critters are busy debating the Wild Horse and Burro Act. Now i love horses and admire burros, but our bombs and bullets are killing children right now, so I wonder...WHAT IS OUR ONE PARTY SYSTEM DOING WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS??

Arghhh, I need to adopt a wild burro, ride her to D.C., and have her POOP ON THESE MORONS!!
