Today, the stock market convulsed on the news that 3.8 million are out of work. Just wait until inflation wacks you in your pocketbook and interest rates skyrocket. The Administration will have to buy the next election in order to win. No amount of campaign finances will pull this one out for Bush unless people are put back to work at a wage that will provide for a reasonable living. I am not talking about the Wal-Mart workers. Workers at Wal-Mart can't afford health care while the companies owners are the 7th to 12th richest people in the country. We need jobs that pay $40,000 per year and more in the larger metropolitian areas. This administration is in a world of hurt as they continue on down the road to ruin. The pendulam is going to swing back with a vengence. I will not stand by and let my family be driven to ruin by staying silent on these issues. This weekend I will be addressing my dad and 200 other senior citizens and WWII vetrans about their future. 6:59:14 PM    comment []

The Administration claims that it's credibility will not be damaged as long as the situation in Iraq does not deteriorate. Intelligence has been distorted. Intelligence is now an oxymoron for the Administration. Intelligence is worthless as presented by the CIA and spoken by the Administration. We have spy satellites, drones and people on the ground in Iraq. How can we not have seen the destruction of 10,000 tons of WMD? There is NO intelligence that is accurate from Iraq. If we can't find Saddam or we can't find our ass with both hands. The 150,000 military "posse" that we sent to Iraq is up to their neck in alligators and are so busy wondering when they are coming home that they are leaving themseleves open to attack by guerilla Iraqis. Just because Bush said that hostilities have ceased does not mean that the enemy will just lay down their weapons. The Administration's "intelligence" is more ignorance and arrogance both in Foreign Policy and information concerning Hostile Regimes. The Administration hides its intelligence and ignorance behind secrecy and arrogant rhetoric. The ultimate danger to a free society. 6:29:25 PM    comment []

The assault and battery on the Mascot at the Milwaukee Brewers game by a "professional baseball player from Pittsburg" is the ultimate assault on a person short of rape. He was "fined" $430 and released with a pat on the back of the hand. This man should be tossed out of baseball for the ultimate bad example and horrible role model. How can this type of behavior be tolerated? I watched the tape of this action on TV news. It was offhand and extremely innapropriate behavior that showed the insensitive attitude of an overpaid sports figure. With salaries over a million dollars per year, a $430 fine is an insult to baseball fans everywhere. 6:02:17 PM    comment []
