Cheer-leader-in-chief [c-i-c]

Why is the shrub doing so much cheer leading lately? Does he miss his days as a cheer leader at his all boys school? Is this another example of gender confusion? or latent homosexuality? [I think most of the "persons" in the WH have an issue with their own sexuality- why else are they so concerned with everyone's sex lives? ] And why else was Gannon/Guckert around thee so so much????

Back to c-i-c... seems to me if you have an ongoing military action [I am one who believes you can't have a "war" on a concept] - you should have the public's support and you should not have to be the c-i-c about that action. And if you need to be the c-i-c about that military action - maybe it's time to stop the military action.....

Real leaders don't need to be cheer leaders about their policies!

Who the hell is Harriet?

Yikes! Is she an unknown? Nope - like with Roberts her views are known in great detail - but only to the shrub and his cronies - after all she is yet another shrub crony.

Will the public find out anything about her? Nope - she too will refuse to answer questions at her senate hearings.. But info is dribbling out and will continue to come out from the researchers who actually care about the courts..

So far, from all I read, the firm at which she she was the managing partner has ties to Delay, and in 1998 and again in 2000 paid hefty fines in settlement of suits involving allegations of defrauding investors...So she fits right in with the bush crime family... a perfect person to put on the supreme court - that is if you want a court like one that could be run by Tony Soprano.

I mean, come on, if it looks like you might be facing indictments and impeachment - wouldn't you want to know ahead of time that the judges will always rule in your favor???????

George, G-d and Jesus

First a sort of disclaimer... I was raised as a protestant but gravitated to Judaism as a teen and during my adulthood made the label official...I say this only to show I am familiar with both religions.

George claims to be a Christian and to have found g-d but in so doing he has skipped away from the bible [if not run away] - at least the parts of the bible that speak of Jesus. Like so many right wing people of all persuasions, he has picked and chosen his way around the "old" testament [to use the common lingo] and ignored the "new."

Jesus was a Jew and I do think he would be astounded to see what some people do in his name. And those pickers thru of the old testament ignore all the years of rabbinical debate over many of the issues they raise...pretending instead to stick to the "original" concepts..

Hmmm....for starters there are many "versions" of bibles - sort of depends on who translated them and when the translating was done...so what is original? I have seen the portions of the Dead Seas Scrolls that are in the museum in Jerusalem and they ain't in English! And certainly not the version by King James or any of the other modern translations either.

We know George does not read so we can expect that he has been only given the briefest of summaries of bits and pieces of the bible - much like the DVD he got of the hurricane Katrina. He seems to have missed the parts that speak to treatment of the poor and loan sharking..and behaviors akin the credit cards and bankruptcy.

I don't have a problem with religious persons - I just do not want them telling me what to believe and especially when they have chose to ignore more appropriate parts of the bible than they spout off about.

To be continued....
