You said “the Nixon administration was hip deep with Dirty-Tricks.”

Richard Nixon is dead. It’s time for you to let the man go. Please, please, please, MOVE ON Carol! You know how to do that don’t you?

Just how far would your ‘spirit of cooperation’ have gone if you had been picked up off the street by Uday? Or, maybe you could have been a simple soccer player who failed to win. What would have been your fate? Maybe you were just the mother of a child who happened to make the wrong comment in front of the wrong person who’s instructor passed it up the chain to the one’s who would pay you a visit in the middle of the night.

Where ever you are from, you seem to sit fat and happy, ever able to criticize those who protect your freedom to say what you will. Because you will suffer no consequences from what you say. Unlike many in this world. Fey on you. You appeaser to evil. You apologist for terror.

Laura Bush had no trouble alluding to her husband, “Mr. Excitement,” that he masturbated male horses by mistake, when he first became a farmer. (Well, I guess there are some things they don’t teach you in Yale and Harvard.)

But someone, somehow, made that picture of Saddam possible. And, it wasn’t the photographer for Calvin Klein, either. How do things like that get set up?

And, is the test that the media should NOT print it? It seems to me that it brings a lot people to attention when they see it. (Is that too Freudian? Don’t know. Don’t own a flagpole.)

But I did notice that the picture got published in ENGLAND, first. Before it got to Drudge. (And, yeah. I saw it was headlined on the first page at the NY Post. Basically, New York’s more republican newspaper.)

Well, as we go heading into Memorial Day, there are events that sort’a look like “SHOW TIME.” The arabs have gone about as far as they can go. Whatever “strat-e-jerry” that the Bush people had in place, after Tommy Franks reached victory within three weeks of the Iraq invation; now has us at a point where we can’t seem to train Iraqis to defend themselves.

Then, on a domestic level, Bush ran in his with White House plans to change the rules in the senate; so his program can pass on 50 votes. Lots of plans! But on what “strat-e-jerry?” What if the plans are flawed?

Is this “end game?” REALLY? We can trust the whole Mideast just toodles towards democracy? As Bush “gives” the Palestinians their own terrorist state? Hama-Stan is also coming this summer. You expected that? And, it’s going to be successful?

Lot’s of luck. But if a spirit of cooperation would have been better to build, ultimately the fault won’t come to my house. But it will reside in Bush’s house.

BULLIES NEVER WIN.

I think the thing may be that those of us who grew up with WWII participates (whether civil or military) have a different ‘view” of the world. We were at risk. Western Civilization was at a risk. As it is now. I am always accused of being too serious, how could I be otherwise?

P.S. – re going back to Kansas – and why that resonates several generations later? I’m no biblical scholar but I think it resonates cause of the parable of the Prodigal Son. Isn’t that parable about going home? I’ll get really weird here and speculate that the whole idea of “going home” is a metaphor for remembering where we came from in the first place.
