Bush gives up golfing because of Iraq war

Just stop talking.

Now.

Just stop talking as if you actually are human. You have sacrificed…nothing.

Nothing.

You rule by fear, by lies, by bravado. We all know it.

We all know it.

As of now, we don’t have the means to treat you as you deserve to be treated, you wretched traitor to our nation.

But don’t ever- ever- say you sacrificed anything.

The dead will deal your justice.

TTP is hitting the road for a bit to the Georgia coast, and is gonna be way too busy doing who knows what to update this blog, so hey, you’re on your own till next week…

Behave yourselves!

An investigation by Ralph Forbes from American Free press reported on May 05, 2008 that more than a quarter of US senators and congressmen have invested at least $196 million of their own money in companies doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD) that profit from the death and destruction in Iraq.

Scum.

Report: Wind Power May Generate 20 Percent Of America’s Electric Needs By 2030

Washington D.C. (AHN) - Wind power could generate up to 20 percent of the nation’s total electricity needs by 2030, a report released Monday by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) suggests.

Andy Karsner, DOE assistant secretary of energy efficiency and renewable energy, said in a statement, “The wind report is a thorough look at America’s wind resource, its industrial capabilities, and future energy prices, and confirms the viability and commercial maturity of wind as a major contributor to America’s energy needs, now and in the future.”

As you read this, congresscritters are busy scurrying around, attempting to find the lobbyist for air, so they can get their next chunk of greasy money.

Just a hunch.

Saw Jon Stewart do stand up over the weekend, and that is one funny mf’er. Refreshing to hear him unbleeped, for one thing!

As asute and sharp as he is as the host of the Daily Show, his standup is riotious, hell he even figured out why the world is in such a state:

“I figured out why we’re in a mess: because there are two types of people in the world. Crazy and busy. Crazy is crazy, and they have all the time in the world, but busy has shit to do…”

If you get a chance, see him.

US Terrorism Report: Selective Data, Wrong Lessons

The data provided in the US State Department’s annual terrorism report for 2007 points to some interesting if puzzling conclusions. The much publicised document, made available 30 April via the State Department’s website, makes no secret of the fact that Al-Qaeda is back, strong as ever. It also suggests that violence worldwide is nowhere near subsiding, despite President Bush’s repeated assurances regarding the success of his “war on terror”.

Considering the fact that the horrifying violence currently witnessed in Iraq was unheard of prior to the US invasion of 2003, will the Bush administration take a moment to connect the dots? Even a third grader could figure this one out: the US occupation was a major, if not sole factor, in Iraq’s relentless bloodbath. In order to right the wrong in Iraq, the US military should clearly just withdraw, and Bush — or whoever next claims the White House — should stop fabricating pretexts to justify a prolonged mission.

Group plans to challenge IRS church rules

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 9 (UPI) — A right-wing advocacy group plans a challenge to U.S. Internal Revenue Service rules that churches involved in politics lose their tax-exempt status.

“So if any pastor out there feels he is gagged or can’t speak on partisan politics … forgo the tax exemption and say what you want,” said Boston.

My, that was easy, wasn’t it?

That’s the problem in this country. People are never satisfied with stuff the way it is. Remember that friend in high school wanted to make bongs out of everything. Making bongs out of apples and oranges and shit? Come in one day and find your friend going, “Hey! Look man, I made a bong outta my head! Put the pot in this ear and take it outta this one! Good! Take a hit! *snort*”

3 accused of using corpse head to smoke pot

The Kingwood teenager’s story of decapitating a corpse and using the head to smoke marijuana was so outlandish that at first Houston Police Department senior police officer Jim Adkins did not believe it.

“He regurgitated in his plate of food when I asked him about it,” Adkins said. “So I knew there was some truth to the story.”

Judge threatens to suspend Guantanamo terror trial

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba — A military judge in the trial of Canadian captive Omar Khadr threatened Thursday to suspend the terror trial unless the prison camp releases a detailed log of Khadr’s treatment in more than five years of detention as an alleged al Qaeda terrorist.

His attorney, Navy Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler, wants the log in a pretrial effort to limit the scope of evidence given to a jury of U.S. military officers at his upcoming trial, expected in late summer. He argues the circumstances of some interrogations would exclude some of his statements from the trial.

One practitioner in Virginia, who hates Obama like a dog hates cats, led a reporter through his efforts. Because the man is a retired clandestine CIA officer, identifying him could endanger officers or operations that remain classified, so McClatchy will not reveal his name.

But a few months after the man began his work, the allegation that Obama was educated in a madrassa appeared in an anonymous article in Insight Magazine, an online publication of the Unification Church, in January 2007. It also claimed that Clinton operatives had dug up the information. The article was cited by several conservative commentators, including on Fox News, before it was debunked.

To see how this sort of thing has taken root, go to Amazon and read the discussions that are shown on almost every political book, such as:

Are Black Religious Institutions a Fifth Column in the US?

IS OBAMA BLACK?

and on and on.
