Please, Please, PLEASE let this happen! And maybe, just maybe.... the sleeping beast that is the American electorate will rise from it's slumber just long enough to finally throw those bums out on their asses....<br />@Denis; Love the Orwell excerpt!<br /><br />My e-mail to Mr. Goodhair;<br />"Dear Mr. Stephanopoulos, please do no allow some kind of white-wash of the George W. Bush Presidency, his own party ran away from it during the 2012 election. The decision to unilaterally invade Iraq empowered Iran, allowed North Korea the time to develop nukes, allowed the Taliban to survive and gave them reason and time to proliferate again in Afghan society, crippled our economy, killed untold tens or hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, allowed Al-Queda to infiltrate Iraq, injured tens of thousands of Americans, and crippled our military readiness the world over. Is it Liberal Bias to tell the truth?"<br /> I Miss everybody, but I'm much too busy trying to keep a roof over my head....The Doktornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-23575337464824356422013-04-25T06:01:33.691-04:002013-04-25T06:01:33.691-04:00“Out from the door of the farmhouse came a long fi...“Out from the door of the farmhouse came a long file of pigs, all walking on their hind legs...out came Napoleon himself, majestically upright, casting haughty glances from side to side, and with his dogs gambolling round him. He carried a whip in his trotter. <br /><br />“There was a deadly silence. Amazed, terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly round the yard. It was as though the world had turned upside-down. Then there came a moment when the first shock had worn off and when, in spite of everything, in spite of their terror of the dogs, and of the habit, developed through long years, of never complaining, never criticizing, no matter what happened, they might have uttered some word of protest. But just at that moment, as though at a signal, all the sheep burst out into a tremendous bleating of - <br /><br />'Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better!’ <br /><br />“It went on for five minutes without stopping. And by the time the sheep had quieted down, the chance to utter any protest had passed, for the pigs had marched back into the farmhouse.” - George Orwell, Animal Farm <br /><br />Congress Scheming to Avoid Eating its Own Cooking on Obamacare, Yves Smith:<br /><br />“From Politico: ‘Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul…The talks — which involve Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the Obama administration and other top lawmakers — are extraordinarily sensitive, with both sides acutely aware of the potential for political fallout from giving carve-outs from the hugely controversial law to 535 lawmakers and thousands of their aides.’ <br /><br />“And what’s the reason? Oh, the policies might cost too much!”<br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2013/04/congress-scheming-to-avoid-eating-its-own-cooking-on-obamacare.htmlDenis Nevillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-35203719387419023842013-04-24T18:01:50.573-04:002013-04-24T18:01:50.573-04:00This country has been so guilty in its crimes agai...This country has been so guilty in its crimes against the people of Guatemala for so long I thought the essential ending of the judicial procedures against Rios-Mont deserved mentioning.
