Bush and Team Could Have Easily Prevented 9/11
They fucked it up sooo bad it's incredible - typical of the rampant incompetence of the Bush Administration where ideology trumped competence on every important issue.
9/11 - Iraq -The Economic Meltdown - A Supremo Court of strict constructionists! -Want more of the same? Vote for those two hucksters and their right wing mob of Biblical Boobies.-You'll get just what you deserve!
In the aftermath of 9/11, Bush officials attempted to deflect criticism
that they had ignored C.I.A. warnings by saying they had not been told
when and where the attack would occur. That is true, as far as it goes,
but it misses the point. Throughout that summer, there were events that
might have exposed the plans, had the government been on high alert.
Indeed, even as the Aug. 6 brief was being prepared, Mohamed al-Kahtani,
a Saudi believed to have been assigned a role in the 9/11 attacks, was
stopped at an airport in Orlando, Fla., by a suspicious customs agent
and sent back overseas on Aug. 4. Two weeks later, another
co-conspirator, Zacarias Moussaoui, was arrested on immigration charges
in Minnesota after arousing suspicions at a flight school. But the dots
were not connected, and Washington did not react.
Could the 9/11 attack have been stopped, had the Bush team reacted with
urgency to the warnings contained in all of those daily briefs? We can’t
ever know. And that may be the most agonizing reality of all.

Those Sick Fucking Priests Just keep Coming After Our Kids
NY Times excerpt -"But in December 2010, Bishop Finn got some disturbing news: Father
Ratigan had just tried to commit suicide by running his motorcycle in a
closed garage. The day before, a computer technician had discovered
sexually explicit photographs of young girls on Father Ratigan’s laptop,
including one of a toddler with her diaper pulled away to expose her
genitals."
Same old story - another sicko man of god produced and nurtured and protected by The Vatican which has been producing sick fanatical and repressed Male Monstors for two thousand years.
The whole fucking place is filled with rot and corruption!
Poor Jesus!

When Canada gets Pissed off - Watch Out! - Go Canucks!
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada has closed its embassy in Iran and will expel all Iranian diplomats in Canada within five days, Foreign Minister John Baird said on Friday, denouncing Tehran as the biggest threat to global security.
"Diplomatic relations between Canada and Iran have been suspended," Baird said.
He cited Iran's
nuclear program, its hostility toward Israel and Iranian military
assistance to the government of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria,
which is locked in civil war with rebels. He also said Iran was a state
sponsor of terrorism.
Canada's move was swiftly applauded by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has strongly warned of the danger of a growing threat from Iran.
Baird accused Iran
of showing blatant disregard for the safety of foreign diplomats.
"Canada views the government of Iran as the most significant threat to
global peace and security in the world today," he said in a statement.
"Under the
circumstances, Canada can no longer maintain a diplomatic presence in
Iran," he said, declaring that Iran had shown "blatant disregard" for
the Vienna Convention's guarantee of protection for diplomats.
Ottawa has long had poor relations with Iran, in part because of its enmity toward close Canadian ally Israel.
"I wish to congratulate (Canadian) Prime Minister Stephen Harper
who has made a bold leadership move that sends a clear message to Iran
and to the entire world," Netanyahu said in a statement from Jerusalem.
"The determination
shown by Canada is of great importance in order for the Iranians to
understand that they cannot go on with their race toward nuclear arms.
This practical step must set an example of international morality and
responsibility to the international community," he said.

"Uteroil" made from Aborted Fetus' to Save the Earth
The International Energy Association announced today that working
with a team of physicists from Cal Tech and MIT -- they have discovered
how to produce a highly carbon friendly and super powerful replacement
for fossil fuels.
"Our dependence on foreign oil will be eliminated - the answer to the "greenhouse problem" has been discovered, and the absolute dominance of the world wide energy market by the United States is now imminent" - said Moishe Pipick, lead scientist on "Project Uteroil."
He explained,"For ten years now we have been experimenting with discarded fetus' and placental afterbirth matter from over thirty million abortions in the USA."
"We now have conclusive scientific evidence that if the abortion rate continues - the stem cellular energy from this powerful fetal matter will be sufficient to replace our entire fossil fuel based energy grid -and will provide enough "Uteroil" to maintain a pump price of under two dollars a gallon for the foreseeable future,"said Dr. Pipick.
He went on; "And this totally clean source of powerful energy is abundant all over the globe - we can import aborted fetus' from around the world, and applying our technology, we can dominate and control the world-wide energy market!"
President Obama said today; "The Arabs and Russia and Africans better figure out some new way to pay for screwing their people and paying for weapons -heh heh"
When asked about the moral implications of using aborted fetus' for energy, he replied " Heck - abortions are legal -and if we really care about the rights of the unborn - we oughta give em a green earth to grow up in."
"But, said the President - i don't wanta see folks creatin a new market by creatin and sellin dead babies for "Uteroil" - Uh Uh! - But them Muslims could probably make a little extra cash and cut way down on their production of future suicide bombers by sending us lots of aborted Mulims to turn into clean energy."
As KingFaisal of
Saudi Arabia said twenty years ago : "Don't be greedy my Arab brothers -
the stone age didn't end because they ran out of stones."
Too late!

America's Soldiers and Treasure were Wasted in Iraq
After all that blood here's what we created:
A Shiite ally to our biggest enemy -Iran - who supports Syria and Hamas and Hezbollah.
Sadaam would have blocked them at every turn and sent troops to assist his Sunni brothers in Syria.
What a fucking tragic waste!
We could have killed Sadaam and let the more moderate Sunni's continue to control the Shiite loonies.
And now we sit by and let the Syrian resistance suffer because of our historical political dysfunction and lack of balls.
The New York Times - Iran has resumed shipping military equipment to Syria over Iraqi airspace in a new effort to bolster the embattled government of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, according to senior American officials.

al-Maliki of Iraq at a news conference at the White House last December.

Dolphin Gives Birth to Japanese Baby Girl - They named her "Sushi"
"Maybe this will be a sign to the Japs who don't care about slaughtering Dolphins and Whales (which are more sentient than most Japs)" said Dr. Fuji Madooji the Head Obstetrician who delivered the baby girl at the Center for Dolphin Research in Tokyo.
Dr. Madooji further stated; 'The Dolphin named Suzy had been acting very strange and when we sonogrammed her we saw a perfectly formed 9 month old Jap baby girl in her womb."
"The girls parent's have named her"Sushi" and said they will continue eating Dolphin but would not eat "Sushi""
Dr Madooji said: " Most Japs would definitely eat their kids if they had fins."

Israel Should Nuke and Totally Destroy Iran
Iran has threatened Israel with extinction -denied it's right to exist as a nation and denied The Holocaust and will soon have a Nuclear Bomb.
If Israel threatened Iran's existence and the tables were reversed with Iran having 30 Nukes their is no doubt the death worshipers in control of Iran's Theocracy would use them with NO qualms (just another slaughter of Infidels -only much bigger)
So - Israel gives three weeks evacuation notice and then BOOM -
"Paradise By The Dashboard lights" - Iran becomes Meatloaf
The islamofascists in Tehren play their death games and get away with it ONLY because Israel is a civilized nation - BUT:
NEVER AGAIN

hey Clint! - Make Our Day -Stick to Fiction!
It had to happen! - Too many starring roles as the poor man's John Wayne finally got to him.
He probably thinks he's the lead character in "Gran Torino" come to life.
A disilusioned lost soul who hates everybody that's not a carbon copy of his own anger fueled personality.
BUT at least THAT character had balls and pride -and is heroic which makes for a great movie.
Problem is - the race for the presidency is no movie Clint.
Mitty and Pauli are two bad actors leading a cast of B grade morons off a cliff.

America Needs a Court Jester in Congress and White House
Think Jon Stewart In Jester Garb with Slapstick
A jester, joker, jokester, fool, wit-cracker, or prankster was a person employed to tell jokes and provide general entertainment, typically for a European monarch or courtier. Jesters are depicted to have typically worn brightly coloured clothes and eccentric hats in a motley pattern. Their hats were especially distinctive; often made of cloth, they were floppy with three points, each of which had a jingle bell at the end. The three points of the hat represent donkey's ears and nose and tail worn by jesters in earlier times. Other things distinctive about the jester were his laughter and his mock sceptre, known as a "bauble" or marotte.
Scholar David Carlyon has cast doubt on the "daring political jester", calling historical tales "apocryphal", and concluding that "popular culture embraces a sentimental image of the clown; writers reproduce that sentimentality in the jester, and academics in the Trickster," but it "falters as analysis."[2]
Jesters could also give bad news to the King that no-one else would dare deliver. The best example of this is in 1340, when the French fleet was destroyed at the Battle of Sluys by the English. Phillippe VI's jester told him the English sailors "don't even have the guts to jump into the water like our brave French."[3]
History
Early jesters were popular in Ancient Egypt, and entertained Egyptian pharaohs. Jesters were popular with the Aztec people in the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries.[4]English royal court jesters
Many courts throughout English royal history employed entertainers and most had professional fools, sometimes called licensed fools. Entertainment included music, juggling, clowning, and the telling of riddles. Henry VIII of England employed a jester named Will Sommers.During the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I of England, William Shakespeare wrote his plays and performed with his theatre company the Lord Chamberlain's Men (later called the King's Men). Clowns and jesters were featured in Shakespeare's plays, and the company's expert on jesting was Robert Armin, author of the book Fooled upon Foole. In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Feste the jester is described as "wise enough to play the fool."
James VI of Scotland was originally very lazy about reading things before signing them. His jester, George Buchanan (1506–82) tricked him into abdicating in favour of George for fifteen days. James got the point.[5]
King James also employed a jester called Archibald Armstrong. During his lifetime Armstrong was given great honours at court. He was eventually thrown out of the King's employment when he over-reached himself and insulted too many influential people. Even after his disgrace, books telling of his jests were sold in London streets. He held some influence at court still in the reign of Charles I and estates of land in Ireland. Charles later employed a jester called Jeffrey Hudson who was very popular and loyal. Jeffrey Hudson had the title of Royal Dwarf because he was short of stature. One of his jests was to be presented hidden in a giant pie from which he would leap out. Hudson fought on the Royalist side in the English Civil War. A third jester associated with Charles I was called Muckle John.
End of tradition
The tradition of court jesters came to an end in Britain when Charles I was overthrown in the Civil War. As a Puritan Christian republic, England under the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell had no place for such things as jesters. English theatre also suffered and a good many actors and entertainers relocated to Ireland where things were little better (see Irish theatre).[citaQuestions for Mitt Romney sent in by Ron Paul
