What do you read
Fiction? NonFiction?
I just finished
The Jazz & The Blues by G. Arthur Woods
it's a novel
It's got it all, roadtripping, backalley jazz and blues clubs, ...transvestites??? (Smile)
ANYWAY: Can we post a link here?
Rather them me rambling on about it
there are write ups and reviews at
WWW.ReadersNet.Net
P.S. Who is carnivore and what are the Feds after him/her for?
Israel offers open elections in which the citizenry has the opportunity to vote as opposed to a false election in which speaking for the opposition can lead to the end of your life.
Israel has its share of issues and problems, they are certainly not guilt free, but there is absolutely no correlation between Israel and Iraq.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the secretary of the Treasury resigned. I think he has a very low IQ. I think all those booze parties in his youth burned his brain out. I'm 51 and this guy is totally revolting to me as a women. Someone should explain "Just In Time" inventory manage here in the U.S. People don't keep more than a week or two of parts. Look at what happened with the rolling blackouts. We haven't recovered from that yet. Ten days of having our docks closed out is economic insanity.
He is the kind of person who would justify using nuclear weapons on Iraq. We have more weapons of mass destruction here. And we are just about the only ones to ever use them. He gets this pout on his face. I have lots of pictures of him grinning like the idiot he is. I have one from shortly after 911 and he is in the snow with an Axe clowning around.
I would like to be able to walk down the street without being forced to inhale/smell the noxious fumes being spewed by the person in front of me. I am especially tired of dealing with the rude smokers who insist on their right to smoke inside an elevator and other enclosed spaces.
Basically I am just so sick of this I would be happy to see legislation ban smoking completely, yes I would be the Smoking Nazi. Get the patch, get a lollipop and get a life smokers and stop killing the rest of us.
Sometimes I wonder if it's just that he can't read or if he just has speaking problems. Maybe it's a little bit of both.
He is an idiot (or should I say "Idjit") and will hopefully get voted back into obscurity where he belongs.
The environment is in great shape, The VP has only had 67 heart procedures in the first six months of the term.
Dubya has managed to win over the world with his fine tuned skills, especially by recycling cold war vets to run his foreign policy.
Oh yeah, I know that Colin Powell is there for show.
Truth is that we would have been better under Gore than under the genius in office now.
We need more help than him and Boss Hogg- somebody please wake me up from this nightmare.
You say you will educate us on the Bush history. OK- go for it. I think your comments were copied and pasted off a fringe website. People with brains don't just accept your wild accusations without more proof. Go for it- get up on your little anarchist stage and preach your drible.
There is no doubt that September 11 has helped him tremendously. The country always rallies around the flag in times of war. His father had tremendous support during the gulf war and still lost the election.
Dubya is a chump, if it wasn't for Dick Cheney he'd be lost.
B) Neither Bush started their war, and both lost most of their popularity points to the economic mistakes of their predecessor. Clinton set up "W" to fail by poorly managing the boon he and Bush Sr. helped bring about, and Sr. lost out because of the fall of Reaganomics.
C) I've looked over this list, it is nothing more than a rant about a republican in office. Not one bit of evidence has been put forward on either side. Find something to rant about, don't just rant mindlessly.
Both Slush and Bore suck, maybe Nadder would do a better job.
Better under Gore? Care to extrapolate on that theory of yours?
For example, his son being placed at the top of the FCC is already proof positive of nepotism and placing non-qualified people in key positions just to placate certain elements of society.
Anyway, who says that Colin Powell would have beaten anyone if he ran? The reason he did not run is that he would have been subject to scrutiny and many questionable aspects of his life would have been revealed. He's a useless showpiece for Dubya.
Were more qualified people passed over to give the job to him? Are you even aware he was already on the FCC board (1 of 5 board members?)
Bottom line - you don't like Bush and you don't like conservative minorities. You have perfect qualifications then to teach at the University level and warp the minds of those captive in lecture halls.
First, no one really knows his politics. For all we know his views are untenable as president.
Secondly, the sad truth is that America is not ready for anything but another stuffy old white president, even if it means that he is an ignorant fool.
What issues do you have with Powell? People spout off about the guy, make veiled comments about him, but a career 4 star military general, he is not likely an easy push-over. As Secretary of State, he has already distinguished himself as a leader, dealing with multiple world crisis flashpoints.
What about Condoleezza Rice? Is she also just a mouthpiece from your point of view? It is extremely insulting to Powell to insinuate his views are the same as Bush's without making specific points.
Do your homework, check your facts, and read a little more than what shows up at your front door every day....
America is still paralyzed by race. It is a constant topic in the media and conversation. If you suggest otherwise I would have to argue that you are just another oblivious white male.
The police engage in racial profiling in the largest cities in the US. What makes you think that anyone other than a white MAN could run for president and win.
Colin Powell has not distinguished himself as SOS. All that he has done is fly in to different areas and made useless comments. He has yet to engage in real diplomacy.
And Rice has done nothing but sit at her desk polishing her trophies. Then again her boss Dubya is too busy fishing to notice any problems.
Although he did do a good job of imitating his predecessor with his middle position on everything. He is a gun-slinging, no principled skank.
Perhaps if you came out of your ivory tower and into the real world where some of us work for a buck you might understand this.
If Bush is supposedly a man of the people, one of us, doesnt that make us as stupid as he?
Im afraid of the answer. . . .
I wish you well, PastaCinnamon. You have an invitation to visit me in Moscow to gain some ideas on how good your country really is. Maybe you will learn to appreciate it one day.

I appreciate your comments and can understand how someone with limited exposure and experience to the US would feel the way that you do.
Unfortunately there are still certain realities that this country lives with. Racism still exists. It may not be as prevalent as it once was, but it is there. Not so long ago a Black man was killed in Texas strictly because of his color.
In Los Angeles a white supremacist murdered a Filipino Postal worker and tried to murder Jewish children. That was only two years ago.
The fact that Blacks are treated better here than in Africa doesn't excuse racist behavior. People should be treated equally, end of story.
Please do not misunderstand me, the US has made great strides in dealing with racial issues. And there are those people who do nothing but complain.
But there is a middle ground here where we can look objectively and say that we have not reached a point yet where people are equal and treated that way.
Now, on the other hand, I'm against the constant rallying against wealthy caucasians, partly because I am one, but mainly because all it does is stirr up animosity between the races. An embraced enemy is much more off guard, and finds he has less allies against you than an enemy you throw stones at.

The only picks I'd trust from Democrats are fine cigars.
Dubya vs. McCain?
I could have accepted McCain as president. He's a principled guy. He knows what hardship means. He's not the village idiot. Am I asking too much?
Just Another Demanding Citizen
I am not certain. On social justice globally, I support a stepped up military presence, which I think the GW administration has not done. On domestic issues of social justice, and domestic issues in general, I think GW has fallen short as well.
Kerry and GW have similarities as far as coming from extremely privileged backgrounds. I think in many areas they are simply out of touch and into power. I think Kerry would sell out his mother to advance himself as evidence by the partners he has chosen to further his agenda and his senate track record or lack there of. He is a spoiled little boy who has grown into spoiled man who has been honing his resume for the presidency for most of his life. He wants the job that he is not qualified for. GW's resume does not impress me as well.
It boils down to do you want change for the sake of change, because you are hopeful and think that eliminating GW from office will have a positive outcome for America and the rest of the world, or are you somewhat apprehensive and not willing to take the risk, not knowing about what Kerry really brings to table. On global issues he wants to rely heavily on the UN. I think you know who and what sort of people vastly comprise the UN.
It is an ugly situation, totally unfamiliar to me in my lifetime. I have an interesting CD for you to listen to regarding our industrial military complex...it is disheartening. I am not very hopeful regardless of who is in the presidency. I will live my life day to day with optimism, and unlike this letter, try to be encouraging by how I show up daily, but in the grand scheme of things, I believe that the stone has been cast. Human beings have come a long way in many ways, as you survey the past 200 years, but we have not evolved as a species. We have not put in to practice what we have learned. We simply have limitations, it is the way we are wired, the way our brain functions.
I'll will know when I leave the polls as to who I shall cast my vote for. At least I can focus on the propositions, try to make sense of them and hope that they will have a positive impact on society.
