Sleep in late for him.

He must be exhausted.

I am reminded of Truman's comment about how he felt when he became president:

I felt. like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me.”

It is hard for me to get too happy about the current condition of our country. But I do feel a great relief. I can not think of anyone better able to lead us out of this mess. But I feel as if the weight of the world has fallen on his shoulders, this young man from Illinois. I send him my best wishes and hopes for the next eight years.

btw
Have you ever heard of Credit Default Swaps? There are sixty trillion dollars of them out there. The problem is there is no there there.

And when they come home to roost, what then?

G-d help us.

I am celebrating the best I can,

I have to say that he is somehow a visual & auditive relief after Bush years. The green candle is also lighted for him!

• Hail to the Chief! [/url]

  we do like our new prez dude, folks
  th 100th monkeys rocked th vote!
  cauze we knowed a long long awful long tyme ago
  it had to be bad to get better
  
  now we got th national treasury
  being raked by th plutocracy
  and they're bleeding th great society
  as their legacy to our democracy
  
  they use wall street bail out money to pay themselves dividends
  they don't care bout makin amends
  they jus wanna raise th value of their stocks
  (whilst they holding lots of US treasury notes)
  
  fergit bout money to create new wealth
  we payin th national debt to th same stealth
  criminalz who secreted th treasury to pay themselves
  profitz from the iraq war with interest in perpetuity
  
  do ya get my drift? do ya see what up?
  they borrowin dough t pay fer their war
  (th prez is their policy dog; he wags his tail)
  but they "borrowin" from themselvez with a 10% return
  
  they borrowin from anyone who will buy US treasury notes
  (paid for by you an me) like (communist?) china , th mafia,
  laundered sweat, and th gilded elite who know th master joke
  like, wow, profits from th war, an interest on th debt
  
  we been suckered folks, we been had an enuf of us now know,
  we're really mad, mad about th ripoff neo-conz
  we finally elected one of our own! yes it's our game at long last
  th critical mass it's our tyme it's our pow wow nowww
  
  hail to th chief! hooray at long last!
  we have a friend living in the white house!
  he gon make a change in th oval office
  we gon run th country for people and for profit!

Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.

If Barack O'bama don't put George Bush in the stockade an' try 'em for war crimes, then he's a coward and a collaborators in chief.


SEND GEORGE BUSH Junior to THE HAGUE!

[jimboloco]

yeah indeed
he may very well pardon all his mates
in advance across th board
an reinstitutteduh, good ol truman'z
exectuive priveledge
status
to stall th subpenas

read a column this mawnin
sayin bushie jr could in tyme
have a favorable rating
depending on how well iraq turns out

as you say, we smashed them good,
into a chaos, then the infusion of Aal-quaida,
and sectarian violence

the usage of fake intel
like thhe dude chalabi
now th iraqi oil minister
was th source for the mobile weapons labs
and th import of yellow cake from niger
plus he had some iraqi refugee taxi driver in germany
they pays this fellow some nice cash,
he testifies that he knows al quaiduh is inside iraq
so
the scripted scenario
people acting out like morons
robots
sheep following a script,\
unable to speak out
like why was the senate intelligence report not widely proclaimed?
where was the cia the intel liason there to sell this?
why did they not stad up and say,
"hey this is bogus, man?"
i mean it's also a process thing
why was it not better disseminated?

think of the untold grief, the families wiped out,
the horrible psychic scars,
we know what has happenned to the returning soldiers,
well, they bear witness to what the iraqis have been living with
you are home, man

yeah this was not a legal act under international nor american law

the direct manipulation of the usage of the us military

well ahem
i mean
i hope iraq is allright
like i would give credence to muktada al sadr
he has taken on th security apparatus for his dominion
thazz good
why don we do it in the road?

ah now gotta write a note t th editor of th
san pedro tiempos
on th playa de nada
where i yam on permanente vacation
regarding this column and historic perspectivez

[jimboloco]

yes contemplating the letter
like michaelangelo with his block of marble
i will spring on it on wednesduh, day

so how to rephrase my rant into something more palatable and communicable, if not persuasive enuf t'git 'erin th letters to th ediotor

[jimboloco]

The Opinion column in the Sunday, November 16, "Perspective" ,(by David Shribman,"History will size up Bush") rem·i·nisced about how history can improve an unpopular president's legacy. In the case of President Bush, I beg to disagree. It depends on how one views the Iraq War. Even if the tenuous Iraqi Parliament holds the center and peace returns to the country, the base fact that we the people were misled into an unnecessary war by a consciously scripted scenario needs to be remembered. Our national treasury was raked, with massive debt piled upon the American people. We suffered over 4,000 dead,with 50,000 surviving death but living with life altering wounds. This purposeful skewing of the national military by the neo-con political-economic agenda is not something that should be forgotten, nor the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi casualties, 90% of them civilian. As a Vietnam Veteran, I have watched as political ideologues tried to re-invent that war into something better than it really was.

Are we to suffer more lies? What is to stop the ongoing abuse of our military and our citizen-soldiers by reckless ideologues, with a penchant for profits? Please, some insight is in order. Keep it real.
