XMAS report or stock market report

I've been hearing the last few days the XMAS reports and it sound like a stock market report. Be interesting if we went back to the old way of a religious holiday but then again what would the economy do. Myself I'm burned out already with all the ads. I can't stand going into a store and seeing all the "XMAS" junk and it is junk. So many people are buying useless junk that they will never use. The TV ads just get me, "Buy this car and tell her you love her" like that a measure of love. You have to wonder what people are thinking when they make these ads. What kind of person they are. You might compare them to snake oil sales men with very low morals.

What else gets me is there's a couple wars going on and it seems the Christmas hasn't been effected at all from the people selling good. No sacrifices from anyone here in this country. Bush's ideas of sacrifice is to go shopping, that's going to help fight terrorism.

What I don't get is those evangelicals who scream about values are silent. I guess the values they have aren't that great. The bar is rather low for them. Meanwhile they keep thinking that gay marriage and abortion will save the country from terrorist at least that's how they vote.

Christmas is for children but it's been bastardized by the corporate world taking the value right out of this holiday.

Rove on Charley Rose

Karl Rove was on Charley Rose last night. I always knew Karl was a good lier. Karl said, "This administration did not want to go to war with Iraq." I must have been on the wrong plane or something but my recall of events have a completely different take of events. Then he was pulling clips from obscure news papers quoting how good the war is going. Charley totally had to question Karl about that and what the real solution is, a political one like everyone else is saying. This war is still a money pit in the pursuit of oil for Bush and Chaney's friends. Propaganda isn't going to change that. We haven't heard anything about WMD in years. Bush stopped talking his "Church slang." How many times has Bush changed his turn about why we are at war, about as many times as you change your sock, hopefully every day. Well history well tell in time that Bush was the worst president and drove this country into near bankruptcy but the story isn't finished for another year so he can do more damage like start a war with Iran.

Why American children are stupid, Dover School Board

Watching the PBS NOVA series about the Dover School Board and teaching or trying to teach kids about "intelligent design" a weak attempt at bringing the bible into the class room. Thank God they lost the court case other wise we would be going even farther behind the rest of the world. It too bad that there are those people that can't see the truth in science. For me that's why I stopped going to church because of the lies they were teaching and I have to say, religion has the biggest holes ever. How anyone could take that as fact is beyond me. The bible, it's not science it's theology. Albert has a theory but you can't test it because you can't go faster then light just yet. DNA is a real good way of proving Darwin. Carbon and atomic dating isn't other tool in the box of knowledge. No wonder the red states don't have any technical industry they don't have the staff to maned them. Then again anyone smart born in a red state moves to a blue state with the rest of the other smart people.

Rudy says he's tough enough to do water boarding

Rudy says water boarding isn't torture so he's planing to do a demo in public to show people how tough he is. I really want to see him say uncle and confess to all his sins too.

Just love those comments about the liberal media too. Where is that liberal media he's talking about. So any media that says anything or questions what's going on is liberal media.

I guesswhen a guy gets married three times and gives his word to his wife and God he surely can't be trusted when he's been married three time. How can he take an oath of office and be trusted to uphold it since he hasn't done that before. The people off New York hated Rudy before 9/11. Now his buddy is going to prison, the top cop buddy. What other crime organization is he tied to after all he did take out the competition. Maybe Rudy's the new Dom, whacking all the competition.

I really don't see him as a man that can be trusted, not with any single replacement woman out there or some mans wife. Not with money or the countries military.

Win 32 error, svchost error, what a bunch of crap!

What a bunch of crap,update to Internet Explorer 7 SP2 and the updates that followed after installing it and ever since then the none stop errors. I looked it up on the Microsoft web site and there are tons of pages on how to fix it sort of. There's a patch but that has to be loaded every time you start the computer. Then restart the computer and after several tries it works. It's funny that the only version of an operating system that Microsoft ever had was the R-Dos which was made by some one other then Gates. Even since then there hasn't been one product that came out that doesn't need upgrades and patches. Now they got Vista out and haven't finished developing XP. They stopped supporting the older versions like 98 and before. When is Microsoft going to come out with something that works right the first time out of the box. I really hate have to be the proving ground for Microsoft. They have enough money that they need to pay me every time something doesn't work. MAC's don't have this problem, they work right all the time. They come with everything you need to work and no crap shareware if you buy a new computer with bundled software. I'm so thinking of going to LINUX. There must be another company that makes an operating system that will work with the programs I run. I'm really glade that Europe has got the suit with Microsoft to release the operating system so real working software can be developed that works right all the time. What gets me is I don't hardly even use IE except Microsoft makes you to get updates.

Cleaning things up and getting rid of CO2 and other good things

Some people are selling the idea of getting green or making look like they are green. Sure a dancing elephant looks cute. Then there is the diesels with the rainbow and saying we are making cleaner fuels. As they would say on SNL new update, "Really." Listening to the show today and hearing the GM rep. saying it's coming in the future. Or Carl Levin who I think is a great leader take the side of the car companies. Then there's the tax breaks for the refineries and oil companies. One thing I notice is if they do nothing they get tax breaks. Oil is at an all time high. Some ones making a lot of money and it isn't me. The thing I hears from these profit centers are all saying is every thing cost more as the pull in record breaking quarters. They won't say we are taking advantage of the public because we can or we are doing this so the public will let us drill in wild life sanctuaries. That was a common thyme back in the seventies where they delivered oil to anywhere but here driving the price of gas up until the Alaskan Pipeline was approved. After it was approved oil prices dropped rapidly even' thought the pipeline wasn't even built. The oil deal in Iraq that Bush is pushing is to privatize the oil field and the Iraqis can see that isn't a good deal for them. We saw but don't remember what the CIA did in Iran by placing a dictator in office that was friends to the oil companies and the outcome from that. I don't want to get into history lessons though. What I want to say about getting green is it needs to be done now and now twenty years from now. An analogy of what the world is doing, I came up with this while watching an old StarTrek episode. We are in a space ship traveling to a far off land but we forgot to take enough fuel along to get back. We also forgot to take enough extra air along and the CO2 in the ship is building up. We scarped the air scrubbers that would have taken the CO2 out of the air because someone complained it was too expensive. So there we go traveling along unprepared and we have past the half way point so there's no turning back. The ideas of tax credits for cutting CO2 is another shell game, it's like being on the ship and telling the people aboard that they will have an ever other breathing day. Of course like the old west people wouldn't want to be told what they can and can't do so people get mad and start killing each other for their own existence. Seems there are always those that panic when their liberties are infringed on even if it would cost the lives of others.

The Bold Move:

It would be a real good idea since the would is going to keep growing population wise to stop all green house gases. That would be the goal. The thing is that the lower classes are stuck in the middle of big business where they want to sell off all the crap they have before it's classified as something you can't use any more. What I'm getting at, the oil companies want to keep selling oil even if there was a replacement energy. People have been saving energy so new power plants don't need to be built at least that's what they tell us as they keep building more homes. Then what do I hear, the power companies are loosing money because people are saving to much so they want to raise the rates to make up for their losses.

What I don't understand is the national oil reserve. Bush has been pumping oil into the salt dome since he took office in 2001. Seems that is he stopped buying oil and driving up the price of oil thing would calm down on the futures market which I think need to be removed since that's just a form of gambling where the people are the losers. Hedge funds are even flakier where they are betting on stocks to fail to make their money. So with a industry without control it seems it would be real easy to manipulate the market, sort of like the movie Trading Places." People are doing things in their interest and not in the interest of the future of the United States since every thing they do is only sort term gains.

Everyone hates a sales man:

The sub prime loan debacle was something a sales man made look good like a high value life insurance policy. They made the deal look so good that like life insurance you even thought you got to collect the money when you died. Remember back a few years ago when Enron was busted for jacking up the price of power and making fake shortages. Then other things started happening on the stock market, they would have people give crappy stocks good marks and sold them to unsuspecting people. The stock market walked away with billions of dollars and when caught fined 1.2 billion and told not to do that again. When it was suggested they regulate the industry they said they were good and didn't need that. Well they did, they moved into sub prime loans and did the same scam. There's another problem with capitalism, black market money which there is just as much out there as the money being tax or the legal money but we don't know for sure since it's black market money.

Where's Kenny?

Well Kenny died before he could go to jail for his involvement in Enron but have you seen the body? Remember he's a friend of the president and the president has been making people disappear for several years now to unknown locations. Is Kenny really dead or is he living life on some desert island some where?

Correcting errors:

Since rich white people never go to jail even for murder things need to be toughened up for fraud where it effects millions of people. They need to get charge with fraud for each person they effects. In some cases I don't rule out the death penalty if any person dies while this fraud was committed. Remember Lincoln Savings and loan, there was several senators tied to that but Cranston's said he was to sick to testify at that and distanced himself from the whole deal, so did that other senator from Arizona, what was his name? The one with the black love child. Oh wait that was one of Karl Rove's lies that cost John McCain a lot of votes. That's another thing that needs the death penalty lies while campaigning. Since Bush's team was spreading the rumor John would get to shot one of Bush's team for the lie and it would be legal, anyone even Bush. Well that would take care of dishonest politics. Maybe most other things after that would start falling in place also. People that give good ratings on homes and stocks, life in prison, no exceptions, mandatory, No presidential pardons. Too many white collar crime get such minor sentences, if they were really enforced and stiffened up life would be more "Christian Like." Remember Kenny from Enron he was one of the Christians one of those God fearing people, "Ya Right." If a company cheats, the CEO gets the death penalty. That will fix oversight.

So get rid of the ties to big business and the CO2 problem would seem to start correcting itself.

Rudy said, "Vote for Demarcates and raise taxes."

Well that might happen, since the demarcates want to balance the budget once again. That they already want to change the "Alternative Minimum Tax" to keep up with inflation and protect the middle class. Rudy didn't say that the taxes that the "Rich top 10%" would now have to pay taxes who he is only worried about. You have to have guest that republicans really don't care about you. Whether you have insurance. Whether poor children even have health care. Bush didn't even want to improve flood control but is only interested in oil and how to get it. Iran's a state sponsor of terror and the guard also a terrorist group and we slapped sanctions on them but why is Halliburton still there. Why have they been trading with them since the Carter Administration. Those chemicals Saddam had, where did they come from, Halliburton seem to sell them the stuff. Taxes, Rudy would rather borrow the money and make the dollar worth less like Bush has been doing. You can only run up the credit card dept so much before they want their money back. Then again Republicans are cheap that's why they are rich they never pay for anything. Take from the poor and give to the rich, what a motto. Trickle down as Regan said, well that turned out to be pissing on the poor. It didn't work but the republicans want you believe that it work because they never admit when they did something wrong but blame others. Rudy as far as giving his word to God and his wifes, well you can see where I'm going on that. Rudy's word doesn't mean much as far as God goes since he's out for himself. Till death do you part or is it until something better comes along. So if you want a weak dollar and high priced oil where your paying tons of money to the energy giants like Exxon and PB or even Enron go ahead and vote republican. You want far priced health insurance or do you want the republicans plan to force you to buy inflated health care prices. Well most of those red state people will be voting on morals, whether it's abortion or gay marriage but not on a strong dollar, not on security, not about corruption, and corruption with this war which is and has been very good for some republicans. It's too bad people had to die to line the pockets of a few. Now that's moral. What about acts of treason such as lying to the American public about why Bush and Chaney wanted to go to war? They didn't say it was for cheap oil because no one would say that was a good idea. No, they told large lies and even believed them themselves after repeating them so many time. Flesher got ass cancer from telling so many lies. Most of the administration has left because they are having morals and can't destroy the planet to enrich a few billionaires. Now that's not too moral wouldn't you say. Now Bush and Chaney want to bomb Iran to get closer to the oil, it really has nothing to do with much else. So, voting for Rudy will still put you in a crappy tax bracket so the rich won't have to pay taxes anyway. Your still going to have to pay most of your pay check to drive across the street. The stock market is in the dumper and getting worse and jobs keep going over seas as we just seen with the auto companies new contracts. So, if you want to protect those rich people follow Rudy's advice, protect the rich from paying their far share. Go ahead, let them laugh all the way to the bank while you worry about where you next pay check is coming from. Don't worry about your health, if you get sick and end up homeless you'll die on the streets.

Amazing, wasted votes

It just amazes me to hear people who are conservative vote for the president because he is against abortion, like that will make the country safer. Another issue is the vote against gay married like that would keep a terrorist from attacking the United States. Or even voting for a president because he's a born again Christian like that makes him a better person of something. Just voting pure republican blindly like the vote for Bush was and you see where that got us. Jobs are still moving over seas that's because republicans are for big business and don't care about you. Bush hates children but will support his buddies and the military industrial machine. Most all the contractors now working for the US government in both wars are riping off the tax payers but you thing those narrow minded voters care, no they are going to vote for a president that is against abortion. To hell with the way the country is going. Forget you future and your children's and grand children's future, we selling America to anyone that has some fast money. No one is talking about long term goals for the country. Bush has the balls to ask for $200 billion to fight his war but can't help kids because he says it would cost to much. 41 days of the price of the war would take care of the program for ten years. Bush s saying things about global warming but is doing nothing to change things. He changed the way we measure unemployment and inflation so things look better then they really do. The only people that are doing any good financially are the filthy rich the rest of the middle class are loosing there home. Bush still hasn't done much in the recovery of the gulf coast but Texas is all fixed up like nothing ever happened there. It just amazes me that these backwards people vote for people that are only interested in big business and end up shooting themselves in the foot by the way they vote.

Second hand smoke and mirrors

In the last few decades they came up with the second hand smoke deal like that is the only thing bad in the air. That for the most part is the least of your worries. The buses and trucks and even the diesel powered cars are a lot worse then second hand smoke. Breathing diesel exhaust is like breathing asbestos. I learned about that back when I was in college in the early 70's. At that time it was being covered up by the manufactures of diesel engines and the oil industry who makes the fuel. It's just like the manufactures of asbestos who covered up the fact that you could get sick and die from breathing asbestos and did that very successfully for 50 plus years until in the 60's. The chemical industry doesn't want you to know what it's doing because it would cut into their profits. I wouldn't put it past these same people to blame all the problems on second hand smoke rather then taking responsibility for the problems they have created. We can't forget the regular cars either and the tons of dirt they pump into the air. Living in the foothills looking down on the city I can't see how people live down there. The air is so think and brown you can't see anything down there except maybe a few lights but no details. Bush has tried to raise the exceptable levels of lead in children. For years the lead level ratings have been going down and down as how much a child could be exposed to but Bush hired a guy from the lead industry and changed it to several hundred times what we used to have. Same thing happened with coal but Bush called it "the clean air act." Increasing the amounst of polution that power plants can spew out. That they didn't need to upgrade the plants to cleaner burning plants but that they could expand without any safe guards. Bush has took the country and world backwards. So in history there will be Bush 41 and then there will be Wrong way Bush started of several wars for oil. Contractors with no over site steeling billions from the American people. He could insure children saying it was too expensive but he can ask for 200 billion for his dead end war. There ar more Blackwater people in Iraq then there are American troops. Is Blackwater an word for oil by the oil corporations. This new world order is getting to look like it's one run by corporations and not countries. Blackwater is so big that it could if it wanted to take over a small country since it's better armed then most countries.

Just lay back on this bed Mukasey and we'll find out if this is torture.

Mukasey can figure out if torture is torture, maybe he should try it out to find out. To say you don't know if it's torture and then Bush saying it's classified just gets me because almost everyone in the world knows about it now. It's been all over the web, TV, magazines and news papers that doesn't sound like it's very much a secret any more. The only reason he's balking is to protected the whitehouse like Alberto did and you seen where that got him. Well he's always got a job picking fruit.

What is porn and what is a nasty book

I've been hearing the take from the Supreme Court talking about porn, child porn and what books to ban. Listening to the arguments just gets me when people take religion into the matter. Some people are just twister and need porn to get off. I don't know if it's because they are insecure with themselves. Whether it was their upbringing and the religion that was forced on them which kept them from developing normally. The people that want to live this Victorian life on the outside but once they are in a bedroom they become some nasty thing and do things they condemn in the outside world. So many people like senators and Christian leader and their followers talk against different life style but end up they find they are doing the life style they condemn.

The bible is a good example of a book with a lot of naughty passages. Mosses gets raped by his son. There's a lot of bigoting going on. Lets not forget the angel that came to Mary, must have been a real good lay.

Lets not forget the fundamentalist Mormons who marry off as teens to old crusty perverts.

Then there is the middle easter cultures that have to have a virgin to marry. Or that when they go to their heaven they get a bunch of virgins. That would be ironic if all the virgins looked like their mother and that's why they are virgins in their heaven.

From what I heard that child molesters where once molested them self and that's why they do it too.

It seems you do what you have learned as you were growing up.

When it comes to locking people up for long periods of time to take them out of society, I really think that's sort of the right idea but they should be treated as mentally ill people. Throwing someone into a violent environment without some sort of treatment will only get you a violent person when they come out.

Well enough ranting, time to get on with the day. It must be because I didn't sleep well that I'm so ornery today. I think what I was trying to posse was that some people just jump into ideas to restricted others and they are just as twisted themselves.

Bombs away Bush. Chaney told me to...

We the people? Well is it really? From wire taps to hiring solders of fortune to fight our battles so we don't get blamed. Protecting the Constitution, well are you really or just making a few bucks for your friends at the expense of the American people.

Bush administration levels more sanctions against Iran. Does that me Chaney's Halliburton will finally have to leave Iran or are they going to continue to say they are a international company and stay in Iran. They still haven't left Iran since the first sanctions started under Carter.

Then again that might cause Chaney's kickbacks to be cut and he wouldn't want that.

There should be a law that if you can't say, "Nuclear" you can't use it. After all these years of being criticized about his pronunciation of the word Bush still hasn't gone to a speech therapist to learn how to say the word.

Is the "New World Order" going to be a world run by corporations?

CO2, we'll, take care of that tomorrow when things are better

It's interesting how governments are putting off cutting down on CO2 and making such small strides to cut CO2. Things like cutting 20 or 30% but 2020 sure it's good but we know that the worlds condition is direr right now. I see this slow action as like the people on Easter Island cutting down the last trees to put up ideals. Whether it was to appease the gods or to catch the eye of a passing ship. We are in the same predicament today. We need acting today. The worlds atmosphere is messed up right now. Cutting the CO2 in the future isn't going to help the worlds existence. When you talk about billions of people being displaced so you can keep your life style right now doesn't make much sense. This is going to be a mass extinction of the earth and nothing short of that. So your kids have to swelter but you grandkids bake in an oven, how does that make sense to put things off and only reduce CO2 a little bit. This is something your going to see in your life time. It's not going to be a story passed down from generation to generation. Your not going to be able to say this is how it was but more we used to be able to breath. We used to have plants here and new the danger but ignored it and put it off to tomorrow to fix things, waiting and hoping for technology.

2.3% cost of living increase, boy that was real white of you

It just amazes me every time congress or the senate votes themselves a raise. Meanwhile working people don't have that luxury. Maybe we need to take our elected officials raises to a vote and not leave it to them. They gave people a 2.3% cost of live for social security which works out to about $24 dollars. Maybe congress and the senate should only get the same amount of a raise based on what social security gets. So if they get $24 dollars a month raise congress and senate get the same money too, not a percentage but $24 dollars. No more of this 30 or 40 or 50 thousand dollar raises. They are all rich to begin with and could live just fine without working. Then again they didn't get rich by giving there money away. Rich people tend to be rather cheap and only think of themselves. Look at Bush vetoing the S-CHIP program saying it's going to cost too much but his war for oil for his friends he will spend you money like crazy. Now there is a bunch of investigations ongoing about kick backs on food and supplies for the troops and the cost of the war. Chaney still getting kick backs fro Halibuton. They even moved out of the country so it would be harder to audit them. When it comes to companies dealing with countries put on the no trade list Haliburton will be there. They have never left Iran of Lybia. As they say crime pays and it pays rather well. Bush's legacy will be the president that ran the country into the ground while enriching his friends. I can't wait for the next landslide election in 2008. That when there won't be the obstructionist left in office supporting Bush and that's when some real investigations can happen. The scary thing I see that can happen it the republicans pay someone to attack the country to get reelected. You don't think they would do that just look at what they have done so far.

Propane and propane accessories

Well, heater stopped working last week after sitting all summer. After taking the gas valve out, it was full of black goo. I had to order a valve and replace the generator a bi-metal strip. In ordering the valve I found the the propane dealers didn't know much about their products. One dealer said propane comes from the ground and the refinery puts it in tanks. When I questioned what the refinery does he really didn't know. Then it was the question about the difference between LP Gas and Propane, as far as they were concerned they were the same. Looking up the heater I found that the LP Gas model was more expensive. Dealing with a supplier of heater products they couldn't tell me what the difference was between the valves just that it was a different serial number. I use propane but a LP Gas unit was installed here. He won't sell me a propane valve or even look it up but he will replace the LP Gas valve. I looked up the difference between the gases and it's a big difference. Propane a distillate from crude oil. So it butane which is added to propane to make up LP Gas. The ratio is 60% propane and 40% butane to make up LP Gas. Natural gas is totally different as far as the chemical make up. Natural gas has a lot of goodies in it to make it what it is; methane , which make up most of the gas, 70 to 90%, then ethane, butane, propane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium and hydrogen sulfide. What gets me is how so called professionals don't know their products and why they work like they do. I could see the LP Gas need a product that is more resistant to alkaline gas. It just amazes me that these people like the ones at Suburban Propane here in Placerville just think gas comes right from the ground and it put in tanks. They were the original people that put the heater in in 1985. Why they would use a LP Gas unit instead of a Propane Gas unit, I can only surmise they sold it because it was listed at $100 dollars more then the Propane and Natural Gas units.

your going to force people to buy insurance to solve the problem?

Another politician has come up with a way of solving the uninsured, make them buy insurance. Boy won't that make the insurance companies happy. Mean while the other developed countries of the world have solved the problem with the high cost of insurance. They still have insurance that you can buy if you want a private room and stuff if you in a hospital. The government takes care of it's people. Not here, they want the old and broken people to die off. A good example of this is Bush's cuts to the VA. He knew he was going into two wars and that they would need hospitals to help the wounded solders so he cuts the VA. Mean while his buddies like Hallibuton is making billions on the war. Just think about all the equipment that's going to be replaced or the new stuff. That MRAT's contract won't be finished until 2012. Gives you hope on how long the wars going on. Seems politicians are sucking the Dick Chaney's of big business with no regard of the people of this country. Big business has turned to the labor force of China and other third worlds countries where people get paid penny a day. It's not going to be long before China and India pass us in wealth. Then the NeoCons will want to be on top and take on China. It's the same old history repeating itself.

Well that's my rant for the day.

Same old, same old

General says stay the course and repeats Bush's build up to the hearings. He has a bad job right now since the White house dumped this war on him. Iraq is a horrible mess. So, the new plan is, stay the course and it might get better. As far as the "Surge" goes it brought a lot of people into Iraq but that's where it stops. He's talking about bring troops home, like it's some sort of great idea he has. Now Bush is claiming he's going to sign off on it, like that a big deal. The guys served there time there and it's time for them to come home anyway. It's normal troop rotation except he's saying that he won't add any more troops to replace them. So, we are going to be at that same place as we were before the "Surge" next year. Since they said troops will have to stay there for 15 month and the last of the "Surge" troops came in last July they are going to be there until next October.

So, all I see is stay the course. Things might get better. Dollars are falling into the money pit and no ones keeping track of where it's going. For the contractors it's a hay day. Halliburton is making a killing since they are Chaney's buddies. I'm sure he's getting a kick-back. After he gets out of office we'll know if he retires to his own private island or country. Mean while Bush is still pushing the Iraqi's to privatize the oil fields so his oil buddies can get in there and rape the lands. It still amazes me that the first law that was pushed on the Iraqi's was they could unionize.

Conserve power?

Energy companies are complaining that people are conserving too much power and want to raise rates to make up for the money they are loosing with people conserving energy.

Don't that beat all. Mean while they keep building large houses that use large amounts of energy to light to cool or heat. Solar is for the rich and if our government was on the ball, they would have some sort of way of putting solar on all the poorest peoples houses to help them out. Here in California where the sun shines almost every day it would help all those air conditioners and new homes that need tons of extra energy. The energy companies serving their stock holder want to make as much as they can no matter who they hurt in the process.

Wouldn't it be great is all the houses would have solar cells on there houses. Then you wouldn't have the scare of brown outs.

What gets me is the oil companies and the price of oil. Even thought the west coast doesn't rely on oil from the Caribbean when a hurricane comes around the price of gas goes up on the west coast. That sounds like price fixing which I thought was illegal. I guess that shows you that if you have enough money then you don't have to obey laws.

I'd be in favor of nationalizing the utilities here and giving the people far prices. Now with insurance constantly going up some states are making it mandatory to have health and car insurance. That makes them a monopoly. They don't have to lower the rates because they know you have to buy it and will be fined if you don't. Because it's mandatory then it should be nonprofit. How else could it be fair?

The Night Shift

Well I guess you can't put a picture where you want to on the page.

The gangs all here. Haven't made a post in a while and it seems there's been some changes to the blog site. Found that Firefox doesn't seem to work right any more as far as posting pictures.

There's a red brown tint to the shy here. I'm listening to the fire near San Jose and I guess the smoke is blowing this way, 150 miles to the East.

I woke up today freezing and had to close the doors. It was still dark out and the deer were milling about the yard. The night shift was all gone and had turned in for the day. I really find the wild life here so amazing. I know I've said that before but it is. If you treat them with respect they respond in kind. Found out that the skunks can smell butter on your hands even if you wash them and they really love butter. You could put butter on a rock and they will find a way of eating it.

I haven't seen my baby turkeys in a while but they are hanging out today. They are getting so big almost the size of mom. I think the smell of smoke in the air is making them want to stay here. It's not strong but still you can smell it. At first looking outside I thought it was a fire near here which is rather common but haven't hears and air craft flying around here. Going to check NOAA's web site to see the latest weather pictures to see if the smoke will show up.

If this is good what is bad

President Brownie selling the surge and it's aftermath is pushing the idea that things are just fine. The generals who remind me of a Frank Zappa lyric, "You sniff the buns of angles like it was cocaine."

So Bush thinks it's going great. What would something like a total failure look like. New Orleans still looks like it did after the hurricane or close to it. Right before his going on vacation speech he said that Americans were taking home more money per year not thinking that it was only the top 5% of American that were doing well.

At a boy Brownie will go down in history as the Bush administrations most famous quotes. Bush surrounded himself with yes men and butt sniffer that never tell him things are crap but yes your doing the right thing.

Mean while everyones phone calls and emails are getting read and even your snail mail is getting opened to see what's in side.

I can see why the Iraqi's haven't met the goals the congress set. The oil deal that Bush and Chaney are pushing is to privatize the oil fields. The Iraqi's say no to that and I can see why. It would be counter productive to their country to sell their future. What gets me is Bush and Chaney keep saying it's not about oil.

Chaney still being tied to Hallaburton who still working in Iran to matter what the sanctions are on that country. Even after the hostage taking back in the late 70's Hallaburton's been in Iran. Another country that's been off limits was Libya but how's there all these years, Halliburton. Now that they moved their office to the Gulf it would be wise not to have them working or having contracts with the military since they can't be trusted as being loyal to the United States. I have to question Chaney's loyalty wheather he's loyal to the United States or to Hallaburton.
