Fascist Police in Minnesota Raid Homes of Potential Protesters

Glenn Greenwald covers the story here. Don't look for it in the mainstream media. Apparently, as with many of the Bush Administration's criminal acts, they have just decided to ignore another major violation of federal law and/or people's civil rights. Please, spread the word and write to your local newspaper asking them why they are not covering this story. Remember, it will be your home they are raiding next if you have the temerity to think out loud about protesting the behavior of our criminal political parties and government.

This is not what we think of when we see the American flag. This is not what we claim America is and stands for, but it is what America has become: home for many deeply evil, powerful monsters.

Bush to Putin: Only I Can Do That!

As the premier monster on the planet, George W. Bush had the unmitigated hypocritical gall to tell Putin that "bullying and intimidation" were not acceptable ways of doing foreign policy. Nevermind that is exactly how he has conducted foreign policy for almost eight years and continues to do so today.

Representing this deeply evil administration, Sleazy Rice was pushed forward to condemn and threaten the Russians for invading Georgia, a sovereign nation. Would that these monsters were so concerned for the national sovereignty of Afghanistan and Iraq which they invaded and for Iran and others which they have threatened to invade and/or bomb into oblivion. Deeply evil hypocritical monsters they are.

One can only marvel, too, at the complete lack of interest shown by almost all media in pointing out the immense hypocrisy and evil of this American junta.

Coca Cola Turns Basic Economics On Its Head

I'm still chewing over Coca Cola's announcement that in the face of declining sales, they will raise prices to their remaining customers. Sounds as though Coca Cola is a repository or source for Bush Republicans. Everyone even barely familiar with economic principles knows that if you raise the price, other things being equal, you will sell less. So, Coca Cola management is trying to break their business or, perhaps, they have a secret deal with Republicans for a taxpayer financed bailout while they are circling the bowl. It just never ends with these people, does it?

Presidential Election 2008 - Monster vs. Maybe-Monster

There is no doubt: John McCain, the Republican nominee, is like his fellow Republicans, a monster. A corrupt, criminal, murderous, callous son-of-a-bitch who will continue the Republican destruction and sell-off of America while murdering people the world around to enrich themselves. So, most thinking, caring human beings will not vote for him. Of course, 40% of the American public does not fit that description, so he will get at least that percentage of American votes.

Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, is not a known monster, but that's hardly a reason to vote for him. Since winning the Democratic nomination, he has begun to back away from many of the positions he took when people were voting for him. He is now taking Republican positions on issues like Iraq, the economy, and healthcare, in effect, betraying the people who voted for him in the primaries. He is certainly beginning to look like a monster, call him a maybe-monster.

To the diligent observer it seems that the appearance that there are two major political parties in America is just that, appearance only. The monsters are everywhere.

McCain Is A Survivor

Piloting five planes into the ground only one of which was hit by enemy fire does not make you a hero. Living through horrific torture and imprisonment does not make you a hero. It makes you a survivor, plain and simple. It may also leave you with horrific psychological scars which cause you to explode at your family, friends, and colleagues as well as opponents or to gleefully sing about killing hundreds of thousands of people by bombing their country without provocation. It may, in other words, make you psychologically and morally unfit to wield the awesome power that is entrusted to the President of the United States. It may, and in McCain's case it surely does.

Wesley Clark Didn't Disparage McCain's Service Record

Paul Krugman does a good job of covering the brouhaha over and about what Clark never said here. Unfortunately, at the end of the piece he trips over the reality of the economic policies he calls failed, but which he still supports as he cheers for the Fed's continuing corrupt bailout and criminal support of the wealthy, a group to which Krugman apparently belongs. Good he got one right, horrible he continues to have so much trouble with the Bush economic policies that he continues to criticize and support.

Jesse Helms Dead at 86

Unlike many of his victims, this evil, corrupt, racist, criminal Republican slug died today of natural causes. The world is a better place.
