1. Uh, we start reading Charles Southwell.
I realize that a lot of people will not agree, but... that's my suggestion.
Link is here.

It's not like I have a future if these curs remain in power.

6. "If U.S. troops are still in Iraq in November 2008, ______
well over 1,000 of the very troops who are currently deployed there or soon will be deployed there will be dead by then."

Think about it. Well over 1,000 young people who are currently alive and well will die violently in the next 20-odd months for no other reason than to prop up an egomaniacal, bastard red-neck politician's image. Sickening, isn't it?

10. I did vote for the GP candidate in 1996 and 2000. But in 2004 I voted for Kerry,
even though I knew he would win California anyway, I voted for him just to increase his popular vote total. But I like the GP and their platform very much. They are what the DP should be.

8. It ain't a case of "if" really.
We didn't build those megafacilities to abandon them absolutely. Even if we pull out of Iraq as occupiers, no longer doing the policing, getting killed and what have you, the fallback position is to throw money at the UN and let THEM get blown up instead.

Our guys will hide behind the wire in the Green Zone for awhile yet, is my guess, overseeing that oil bidniz while we try to cut consumption here at home and develop, way the fuck late out of the gate, more energy efficient strategies in the future.

And that crosses administrations. Like it or not.

No one wants to hear that, but that's how I see it shaking out.

I won't be sad if I'm wrong, though.
