Happy Halloween

Today is also my little brothers birthday.
Little, heh, 6ft.2 and 210lbs little.
Happy Birthday BP.

Skippy Awareness Week

Surfing over at the Roo's place, I see some guy named Matt Bai wrote a book and took some cheap shots at our pal Skippy.
Not Cool.
So The Kenosha Kid came up with Skippy Awareness week.
Skippy is a very cool dude and was the very first big name blog to put my humble little blog on his Blogroll, for which I will always be grateful.
So I have Skippy's back, always.
Take a stroll over to Skippy's and show him some love, he has been blogging since before 90% of us ever even heard the term.

Our Failed Secretary of State

Where to begin with this woman.....
First off, she was in over her head from the gitgo.
Like most of Bush's picks for REALLY important spots.
As far as I can see, she hasn't done shit diplomatically.
I had to laugh last week when she was in Russia, (her specialty) wagging her finger in their faces.
As far as the middle east is concerned, she is basically a no show.
When Israel was bombing the shit out of Palestine and killing civilians with impunity, the bitch was nowhere to be found,out shopping for shoes, no doubt.Now that we find that Blackwater was given immunity from prosecution in the investigation of killing 17 Iraqi civilians by the State Department, we also hear where Ms. Rice is now asking Bill Clinton for advice.
The irony here explodes off the scale.
Cheney has been chomping at the bit to bomb the fuck out of Iran and Condoleesa has been under his boot heel, unable and/ or unwilling to do a fucking bit of diplomacy with them.
I think it won't be too long and we will see Ms. Rice being used as a wheel chock for the bus they have been running over people with.
She is a s useless as tits on a boar., and I don't see any burst of activity in the near future.
I would have to think the bastards have a replacement in mind and I shudder to think who this bunch of cretins has in mind.

Feeling Like Shit

Lately I been feeling like something my cat hacked up.
It's hard to explain, not a headcold, chest cold, no nausea,no hershey squirts.My appetite is still good.
I get cold sweats whenever I try to do anything and dizzy as a motherfucker, I've had to grab onto shit to keep from fallin' over. Yesterday I was flat on my back, slept 18 hours and still woke up weak as a newborn kitten.
My mouth is constantly dry no matter how much liquid I get in me and I keep gettin' this weird taste in my mouth, almost metallic.Fuckin' joints all ache like a bastard too.
I also feel like my body is craving something, I even went and got a candy bar and I rarely eat sweets.
Could be a delayed detox I guess, I haven't had a drink in three weeks now.
I haven't been sober that long in fifteen years.
We'll see what happens over the weekend, what doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger I hear.
In the meantime, why don't ya head over to Chucks place, he has a ton of shit goin' on all the time.
Tell him Busted sent ya.
I will hopefully be back next week, ornery as hell.

What I Am Going To Be When I Grow Up

I'd like you to please welcome the newest addition to my Blogroll, The Grumpy Old Man.

I think he is the perfect choice as we have the same attitude and the same vocabulary.
When you get to his place, scroll down on the left side to get to his latest thoughts on what usually has to do with the criminals in the Whitehouse and what he thinks of them.
I get a kick out of it.
The fact that he grew up around Seattle way back when gives him just that much more flavor.

Want To Help Valerie Get Even?

I do, and I did.Valerie Plame Wilson and her Husband Joe have been put through the wringer by the Troglodytes in Charge.
Their lives have been ruined, their reputations trashed and have had threats to their family by Al Queda because one fucking guy couldn't handle truth being spoken to power. One fucking guy.
That fucking guy would be Vice President Dick Cheney.
Because Joe Wilson had the balls to write an Op-ED debunking the Whitehouses false claims that Iraq had tried to buy Yellowcake Uranium from the African country of Niger.
The rest is history.
The Neocons went fucking apeshit and no less than four current and former Whitehouse employees leaked Valerie Plames undercover job status at the CIA to the media at Cheney's direction.Four and a half years they were in the meatgrinder, with the full weight of the United States Government and all of its resources aimed directly at them in order to ruin their lives.
Valerie has a book out, brand new, telling about the emotional horrors and all of the other nightmare things that has happened to them.
The CIA would not let her publish the book without heavy redactions, up to 10% of the book has been blacked out, including her work date history, which is in the public domain already. They fucked with her every which way from Sunday. She said fuck it and published it anyway.
Good for her.
When I found out last Friday that she was going to be at Firedoglake to talk about her book and answer questions, I got off my ass and called Powells Books in Portland and put a hold on the last copy they had in captivity, in Beaverton.
The release date wasn't till today, but they had one.
They finally called me Saturday evening to confirm they had it and Sunday I drove sixty miles round trip to get it. I went home and sat down and read it in one sitting.
It tells an amazing story about an amazing lady and the troubles she has had with the fucking pukes running this government.
I highly recommend it and you will be doing a small part to help them financially, which the government made damn sure they got fucked on too.
So go buy the lady's book. It's a good read.
You can order it from Amazon, which is probably your best bet until it gets a wider distribution.

24%

That is Stupie McFuckwits new Job Approval Rating.

He is now tied with tricky Dick Nixon.
C'mon Stupie, you have to try just a little harder there, Decider Guy.
I want to be able to say to my Grandkids I watched him hit the bottom of the barrel,
and went through.

The Cannibals Are Restless

Malkin, going after that two year old might not have been one of you better moves but this just kills me;

When asked about the attacks from the right for quitting a job that provided health insurance, Mrs. Wilkerson explained that she didn’t become pregnant for several years after losing her benefits and that once Bethany was born and her heart condition was discovered, it made it impossible for her to get insurance for her because of a pre-existing condition, which is a major issue for millions of Americans who CAN afford private insurance. The most ironic note of the segment? Mrs. Wilkerson is a Republican. One presumes she’s less than thrilled with her party now.

Thanks for pissing off more of you party, we are going to wipe the floor with you fuckers in 08.

Why don't you go ahead and do a smear job on Cheney's lesbian daughter and her child?
I could use a huge belly laugh, you ignorant bitch.

Things That Make Me Want To Kick Some People In The Nuts, Repeatedly

I'm sure you have heard about how low the Right wing fucktards were willing to go when they attacked the family of a twelve year old boy who had been in a coma and was covered by SCHIP.
It was one of the most disgusting and sickening things I had seen in recent memory.
That no good skank Malkin went so far as to cruise by their house and go to the guys workplace trying to rub the smear down past her meat flaps.
Sickening as it is, that is not the lowest they can go apparently;

Right Wing Gleefully Smears Two Yr-Old SCHIP Recipient Bethany Wilkerson

Yesterday, TrueMajorityAction released an ad of 2-year old Bethany Wilkerson, who was born with a serious heart problem and received health insurance through the SCHIP program.
snip

Heralding the arrival of a “new toddler-aged human shield,” Malkin writes that “the Wilkersons made a choice” — a seeming reference to the fact that Malkin now believes she has the license to attack the Wilkersons for their public support of SCHIP. “We need more ‘partisan bickering,’ not less,” added Malkin.

Malkin’s not alone in her rage. In a piece entitled “Meet the New Frosts, Same As the Old Frosts,” the National Review’s Mark Hemingway attacks the Wilkersons as irresponsible parents:

While the debate around the Frost family at least initially centered around their relative wealth, the issue really at hand is one of bad behavior. […]

For Dara and Brian Wilkerson, the fact that they don’t have health insurance is less about falling through the cracks than the decisions they’ve made.

I am almost at a loss for words, the ones that come to mind are very, very offensive to some people.
A two year old.
Lest we all forget about the wingers being the party of life, after you are born baby, you are on your own.
Just to highlite the stark hypocrisy here, let's focus on what the stupid bitch said, one more time;
“the Wilkersons made a choice”
Thats right, they made a choice.
What she is referring to is not some Pro Life Mumbo Jumbo, it's that they made a choice to quit a fucking job that was untenable and get one without insurance that the lady enjoys doing.
Before she was even pregnant!
Now there's a stretch even for Our Lady of the Concentration Camps.
So to recap, Malkin and her fellow bottom dwellers are smearing the family of a two year old little girl who had life saving surgery, whose mother decided to quit a job with benefits before she even knew she was pregnant.
Yeah, thats the ticket.
Listen up Malkin, you had better thank God you have never been in such a position as to worry whether or not your kid was even going to LIVE, let alone how it was going to be paid for.
I have had to delete what I am thinking three times already to keep from getting sued.
Take that to heart you useless cunt.

We Don't Got No Accountability

Let us today, lead off with a snippet from Think Progress, shall we?

Bush pushes for telco immunity.

In brief remarks this morning on the House’s proposed FISA legislation, President Bush indicated his opposition to the RESTORE Act. The New York Times reported: “The Bush administration, urged by the telecommunication industry, is pushing hard for Congress to include immunity for past actions in any package to protect them from a series of civil suits.” This morning, Bush delivered. He said any legislative fix “must grant liability protection to companies who are facing multi-billion-dollar lawsuits only because they are believed to have assisted in the efforts to defend our nation following the 9/11 attacks.”
snip


Now then, being the inquisitive type that I am,
the first thing that came to my addled brain was, why?

Not why would they need immunity, I already know that, they broke the fucking law.
Instead, why would they do this to begin with?
Out of the charity and goodwill of a patriotic American company?

Umm, no.

How about money?
I think that probably had a little something to do with it, don't you?

I mean, putting in an office and tying into every , single, tiny, bit,of information that went through the West coast that was intercepted and copied and analyzed by our government costs money to do,
Right?
Through one office that they repeatedly denied existed.
Now why would the Telco's want anything to do with that?
Money.
It's the one fucking thing that, as far as I know, has never been mentioned.
Someone got paid off for that shit and you can bet the farm that is one of the reasons Bush doesn't want anyone to know anything about this illegal little caper.

My guess is the government PAID THEM to do it!
It's the only logical explanation.

The prohibitive reasons being,
A It's illegal to wire tap without a warrant.

B It's illegal to use any of the information gathered in a court of law.

c It's conspiracy.

And so forth and so on.

This shit is weak, make them come up with all of the pertinent info and then SUE THE FUCK OUT OF THEM!

The Rico statutes ought to be enough to snag the Signing Statement Guy.

Bush Needs A Can Of StopLeak.

Remember wayyy back when Bush and all the rest of the protozoa were screaming about security leaks?
You know, the same shrill, screaming, mouth foamers that leaked Valerie Plame- Wilson's secret CIA status?
Yeah, those syphillitic jackals.
Now they have fucked us again.
The recent Bin Laden video that surfaced was, in fact, snatched before it's scheduled release by a private anti terror group who had a previously unknown source that Al and the Queada's didn't even know about.

A private intelligence company, SITE Intelligence Group, is claiming that intel officials inside the administration prematurely leaked a tape of bin Laden that the company obtained off a secret al Qaeda communications system. The leak has caused al Qaeda’s system to suddenly “go dark.”

http://thinkprogress.org/

But wait, it gets even better;

"Techniques that took years to develop are now ineffective and worthless," said Rita Katz, the firm's 44-year-old founder, who has garnered wide attention by publicizing statements and videos from extremist chat rooms and Web sites, while attracting controversy over the secrecy of SITE's methodology. Her firm provides intelligence about terrorist groups to a wide range of paying clients, including private firms and military and intelligence agencies from the United States and several other countries.

The precise source of the leak remains unknown. Government officials declined to be interviewed about the circumstances on the record, but they did not challenge Katz's version of events.
snip

around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, it notified the Bush administration of its secret acquisition. It gave two senior officials access on the condition that the officials not reveal they had it until the al-Qaeda release.

Within 20 minutes, a range of intelligence agencies had begun downloading it from the company's Web site. By midafternoon that day, the video and a transcript of its audio track had been leaked from within the Bush administration to cable television news and broadcast worldwide.

Washington Post

20 fucking minutes for the sonsabitches to start finding a way to take credit for something that had taken the private firm YEARS to finesse.
Not only did BushCo fuck the SITE intelligence outfit, they fucked themselves in their rush to start bragging.
How fucking stupid are these people anyway?
Is there a depth that goes beyond the pale or are they trying to set a world fucking record here?

When you were a kid and heard someone getting it on through the walls, did you run, screaming, into the hallway for God and everyone to hear,'Someone is having sex in that room!"?

Fuck no ya didn't!
Ya sat there quietly, listening with glee to the things that other people weren't privy to.

You did not compromise your source!
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Did it not ever occur to any of these so called Goddamn experts that just maybe they should ask, "Where did you get this"?
If the all powerful Government of the United Fucking States didn't have it yet, Where did you get this?, Just might be a really good question?
Before you tell the whole fucking world?


I swear, these people could fuck up a wet dream.

I have hit the wall.

Outrage burnout.
It happens to the best of us.
The fact that I am usually busy as hell has not stopped me but right now I am having writers block, which should be impossible because I am not a writer!
There is no question there is still more bullshit going on than you can shake a stick at, I just don't know which one to follow.That and I really do have a great deal going on in my personal life right now.
I know what you are thinking so stop it right now.
Yes, I do have a personal life, It's what I call the giant clusterfuck that I deal with while drinking heavily after I leave the place called work.
I was going to rag on Blackwater but everyone and their retarded cousin is all over that.
Then I thought, Brittany! Of Course!
But I couldn't bring myself to jump on that low life bandwagon either, especially when I lived through my Dad getting custody of me and my brother back in 1970 when it was unheard of.
Then there was the whistle blower guy who is still sticking it to Bush over the illegal wiretap horse shit. Good on you dude, I just couldn't follow it like I wanted to.
So , what the fuck, I thought I would just ramble incoherently for a bit, call it a day, go get hammered and wait for my next inspiration.God knows there is plenty of it out there.
So if I am boring you to tears , head over to my blogroll, there are some great sites on it.
I promise to get a check up and refill the ornery tank. Who knows, I just might get vicious after someone.

Update
I just busted the FUCK out of another knuckle! Dammit that shit hurts!
Peeled the motherfuckin' hide off from my index fingernail to my first knuckle, bleedin' like a sonafabitch. SHIT! SHIT SHIT!!
