What a month was May....

Why oh why is not the major media putting the Downing Street memo on the front pages in LARGE fonts? Why are we not hearing about it on those alleged "news" shows????? Is it because the WH and the corporations who run this country don't want anyone to know about it?

We just found out who Deep Throat was and very very few articles point out the analogies between Nixon's lying and King George's lying.. about the break in at the Watergate and the corruption in the Ohio election or the hacking of the black box voting machines... about 1000's dying in Vietnam and 1000's dying in Iraq?

John Conyers panel on the media problem was very important yet you did not see it or hear about it unless you listen to progressive radio or can watch CSPAN...we no longer have "news" we just have infotainment - that's why you won't get the Downing Street Memo or the follow up memo that shows we did "extra" bombing of Iraq before our invasion in an attempt to get Saddam to fire at us and thus provoke a war... And because we have a one party system there will not be any investigations even though many in Congress have asked the pResident to answer questions about the memos.

and speaking of the pResident - his 60 days tour of the country to convince someone there is a crisis in Social Security has now been running over 70 days - since he can't count - be glad no one is believing him - and remember he talks only to his "base." And yet another indication he is not in charge - no one told him the capital was evacuated when airplane flew too close- guess they figured why bother- he's not in charge so let him ride his bicycle. He's useless anyway - he'd just either fall off his bike or stand there with the stupid look like he had on September 11th...

Here's to a final analogy - BUSH GETS IMPEACHED AND LEAVES OFFICE IN DISGRACE

Sex and the White House

After Georgie's handholding with the Saudi prince and the picture I posted, we next heard from his wife that George masturbates horses! And I thought bestiality was a sin for people of his persuasion... If that was not enough we next learned that Neal Horsley, an anti-abortion fanatic had sex with animals claiming: "When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule." And this was said on Fox http://www.newshounds.us/2005/05/06/bizarre_sex_habits_of_the_extreme_rightwing.php

And so now we have a new show called Sex and the White House. In the next episode maybe we get to learn what Condi and Karl do - and of course Jeff Gannon...who was at the WH more times than there were press conferences...

Is there a new Sodom and Gomorrah in D.C. ??? and is the address 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W. ?

Hmmmmmmm

Oh and we have another Republican sex scandal in the "other" Washington - the anti gay mayor of Spokane, WA is GAY and he is talking about masturbating in parking lots- Jocelyn Elder was fired from her job as Surgeon General Jocelyn Elder when she said that masturbation perhaps should be taught. Is the Mayor fired? Nope - he took a leave of absence - oy - these hypocrites....

What's this about?

huh?

This photo was from last Fall - and now we also have George hand holding with the Saudi prince- hmmmm. School systems and libraries banning books, rabid anti-choice persons abounding, the Bible as a text book....

Methinks there is a description for all this - it's called Projection. And what is that? A fear of one's own impulses - so fearful that you attribute them to others.

So the next time you hear someone screaming [the righties never speak without shouting] ask them why they are so afraid of homosexuality, pregnancy, etc? or if you really want to get to them - just straight out tell them that they themselves are homosexuals or maybe they are men who fear that science may someday cause them to be able to be pregnant? now that's an interesting new thought for me...

I'm jumping into the blogosphere

Imagine - a place to do my own ranting about politics. I needed somewhere to vent my feelings and thoughts and I am not good at waiting on hold at AirAmerica.

Opening commentary

Since my background includes a Ph.D. in Psychology and a law degree so I have thoughts all over the place about this administration - coming from both parts of my brain.... and I lived in Washington,D.C. for about 18 years.

Also lived in Vermont while Dean was Gov and was not always happy with him and did not support him when he ran for Pres. Am glad he won the DNC Chair and I'm sort of sorry now that he or Gen. Clark were not the candidates we needed.

Kerry fizzled out in August and we needed a fighter; not a fizzler. Even Edwards was a better fighter. But that's passed and now we still have a person in the White House who is an embarrassment.

The Psychology part of my brain is intrigued that so much of the rhetoric coming from the administration and their minions is indicative of what we call diagnosable conditions.
