Financial Bailout Blame will be on Democrats

The alleged financial bailout being discussed in Washington, is beginning to get a Rovian stink to it. While the Republican machine en masse have screamed that Wall Street is failing and the only way to save it is the massive bailout.
Now, in a scheme that stinks to high heaven of Rovian slime, with the Democrats having "control" over Congress, and the only real Republican supporting what has been offered being Bush, the Neocon machine is trying desperately to tie the failure to the Democrats and Bush. 
With the Change mantra having been stolen from the Obama campaign by the Mccain campaign, this is another attempt to distance themselves from the failed Bush Presidency.

Bill Clinton Support of Mccain

As we get closer to the November Election, I can't help but feel the sly remarks by former President Clinton, in support of John Mccain, and the underhanded digs at Barack Obama, support other posts I have made in the past. I have to say I supported Bill in the superfluous prosecution by neocons during his presidency. At the same time wonder out loud how, after that treatment by Republicans, that he still comes off as Republican lite. By surepticiously supporting Mccain  in remarks to the news media, I can't help but lose respect for the Clinton's.

Gov. Ventura, on Kennedy Assasination

I listened to Gov. Jesse Ventura, of Minnesota, this morning in an interview by Stephanie Miller, on Air America Radio. He's promoting a new book he authored. One tidbit of information he offered made me sick to my stomach.

He talked about his trip to Cuba, years ago, and his meeting with Fidel Castro. He brought up the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and the rumors about Cuba being involved in it. He said Castro laughed and replied that "If Cuba were to have been involved in the assasination, Cuba would have been destroyed by the U.S. " He said it was known that the U.S. Government was directly involved in the assasination. Alledgedly, the senior GHW Bush, was involved in the coup.

I mourn for my country.

Clinton is for McCain? (continued)

Ok, maybe I flew to conclusions on my last post about this.

I now feel that they (clinton's) are trying to besmirch Obama's chances for election to President, so McCain wins. He will be a 1 term President because of his age. Then Hillary will have a better chance to win in 2012.

Second class citizens

I see by news reports that the Airline industry is charging $25 extra for a second checked bag, unless you buy a First class, or Business class ticket. You know, rich fliers that could easily afford the extra money. So consider yourself warned, you second class citizen

Clinton is for McCain?

What's up with the Clinton's. They started idolizing John McCain, saying he's a great patriot, which might be the case, while ignoring the Democratic front runner, Barack Obama. I always thought they were "Republican lite." Now we know for sure.

They even sent out thier henchmen berating another former Dem presidential candidate, former New Mexico Governor Richardson, for throwing his support to Obama.

I will make this prediction now, based on what I have seen from this primary. If Barack Obama, wins the Dem primary, Hillary will be McCain's vice president candidate. Shameful.

American Drug War

WOW! I just finished watching a documentary on Showtime On-Demand, titled - "American Drug War." I highly recommend everyone to view this important, and critical documentary. If you firmly believe in the U.S. government sponsored "War on Drugs," you should make it a point to watch this program. It could change your mind. If you feel that the drug war is wrong, this is a MUST SEE

SHOWTIME ON-DEMAND

' AMERICAN DRUG WAR'

Politicians and Big Business are ruining my country. I know, this sounds like sour grapes, but guess what, it's true.





Republicans seem bent on proving that our form of government is broken, and when elected, prove it, to the detriment of its citizens.





While using outright fraud and deception, they will smear any person willing to help keep our government, "of, by, and for the people.





Democrats, while claiming to be for the people, end up supporting big business, in ways that to the citizens, seem to support them, but in reality, chip away at the very fabric of American life.





As oil rises to record prices, we are told it's because of the world demand for energy, which is bullshit. The real reason is because our government, in essentially all phases of lawmaking, have seen fit to spend billions of future tax revenue on a war in Iraq, based on outright lies, and inuendo. All the while giving tax breaks to the most successful energy companies in the world. Nevermind that they are also reporting the highest profits, ever.





Under the guise of defending America from terrorists, this government has systematically taken the American way of life and squandered it for corporate profits unheard of in our lifetimes.

Dreams that have meaning

Years ago, while working as a Union Carpenter for Findorff Construction, on Block 89, in Madison, Wi., We were preparing the second floor of this multi story building, I was assigned the task of preparing the shut off, to contain the concrete pour, along one side of the building. It consisted of 12" x 8' panels joined in a straight line. With the aid of a dry line, the shut-off was anchored and braced, ready for concrete the next day. As I climbed down to the first floor at the end of the day, I saw the Job superintendant, and 2 workers, using a transit to assure the deck above was level for the concrete pour the next day. I thought no more about it as it was the end of the work day.

The next day, the concrete trucks arrived and the pour commenced. That afternoon, the Carpenter Foreman came to me and chewed me up one side, and down the other, claiming the shut-off I had prepared the previous day was a complete mess. The shut-off was a wavey line, and he derided me for not having the shut-off straight.

I was completely flummoxed as to how this could have happened because when I left the day before, the shut-off was straight as an arrow. Now, however it was a mess. I was beside myself, wondering if a co-worker had sabotaged my work for some reason.

That night, as I went to bed, the situation bothered me to no end. I finally fell into slumber, and as the night progressed, I started to dream. About 3 A.M., I woke with a realization of what had transpired the last few days. Of course, I could not get back to sleep and got dressed. I normally got up at 5 A.M., so had 2 hours to stew about what had happened. I left for work about 1/2 hour early, and went directly to the superintendants office trailer. There I found to my surprise, the Superintendant, and the Carpenter foreman having coffee and talking about the coming day. I told them that I now knew how the shut-off came to be out of line. I explained to them that the Superintendant was to blame for the mis-aligned shut-off because after I had finished, and began to climb down, I noticed he, and 2 workers were re-aligning the deck, which is raised or lowered by a screw jack. As the Superintendant read the transit, the 2 workers raised, or lowered each screw jack, to make the deck above level. They came to the area, underneath where I had installed the shut-off, and raised and lowered each screw jack to make the deck level. That action is what caused the shut-off to be forced out of line. They said, almost in unison, "How do we keep it from happening again?" I told them, "Level the deck before critical shut-offs were installed." They agreed. The rest of the day was a joy to work, although I kept thinking about how that dream the night before had vindicated me. So when I read the Wiki-how article about dreams, posted below, I just had to respond with this this post. There have been other dreams that have helped me out of problems, so I encourage others to use the wiki-how article below to enhance your ability to interpret dreams.

TRICKLE UP ECONOMICS

When it comes to the "Economic Stimulous Package," talked about by all the Washington politicians, it will ultimately prove to be a temporary economic boon to businesses, not unlike "Reagan's, Trickle Down Economics, where businesses got direct benefit from the government trough.

This time it will be distributed from the "almost" bottom, up. It will be like having an extra Christmas season for business. A real windfall, for a dismal fiscal year.

In a final "Bush," farewell, he will now be able to take credit for a statistical uptick in the U.S. economy while simultaneously ensuring the economic bankruptcy of our once financially sound nation.
