remember, i remember all that you said...

so, the pentagon released a report yesterday that after years of examining iraqi papers they have concluded that there was NO CONNECTION BETWEEN IRAQ AND al QAIDA! whatsoever. of course, any one with any reading ability and with any interest in the middle east could have told you that 5 years ago when it would have done some good. i knew that. i wrote about in letters to friends and wrote about it when i started my blog in 06. under saddam, iraq was one of, if not the most, secular of all middle eastern countries and for this osama bin laden hated saddam. iraq was right behind us on obl's shit list. why, in iraq, women could vote and hold office and they did not have to wear a veil. saddam, in turn, hated osama bin laden and thought him to be an enemy of his regime. where did i get all this information? why from books, the newspapers, international tv like the bbc (not from fox news obviously since they were the main facilitator for bush's lies by repeating as gospel the admininistrations claim of "bullet proof" evidence that saddam and osama were in cahoots together) and talking to people from the middle east. all anyone had to do was want to know what was going on.

my question is: if a drug addled, poker playing comic in las vegas knew all that how come the president of the united states didn't?

now if he didn't know that, why in the world was he our president?

if he did know that, he is a lying, murdering, warmongering traitor to america for taking us to war on a country that had done nothing to us, had no connection with 9-11, had no connection with al qaida and had no weapons of mass destruction.

either way, george bush and his gang should be impeached and brought up on war crimes. of course, the democrats won't call for that since they are a bunch of lilly livered politicians who are afraid of their own shadows.

another really important question is: if i knew all that, why didn't the major newspapers and tv networks know that? if they did know that, and surely they did since i got a lot of my information from THEM, why did they go along so meekly in the rush to war? liberal press my ass. that is just another right wing lie; the press is not liberal, folks. the press is owned by large corporations (the day of the independent newspaper is long gone from the american scene, the press is no longer our watchdog it is the flunky of the powers that be) and large corporations are republican owned. (for the most part anyway) the "liberal" press and many of the "liberal" politicians, such as hillary clinton, jumped on the war bandwagon and they are just as guilty as the administration. (see the nuemburg (sp) trials for legal precendent)

george bush's approval rating among republicans is 70%. !!!!! what does that say about 70% of the republicans in america? a. they are incredibly stupid and gullible or b. they are guilty of war crimes as well. can you think of a c? i can't; not one that would hold water.

as this election draws nearer, we must not forget all the lies, all the deaths, all the drain on our treasury, all the harm done to our international reputation (remember that on 9-12-01 the whole world was on our side against al qaida), all the injuries to our troops, all the babies without fathers, all the hatred that was spewed forth by bush and rumsfeld and cheney and powell and rice. let us not forget that the united nations inspecters said there were no weapons there. let us also remember that john mc cain wants to continue that war. that john mc cain says if we leave we are saying we are defeated in the war against the word.

remember that george the decider told us that the iraqi war would be self financing, the iraqi oil would pay for it. remember that gasoline was $1.46 per gal. nationwide when he took office.

remember that we had a national surplus when george the liar took office. john mc cain wants to continue george's economic plan.

also remember, george bush and his gang were given a paper by the outgoing clinton national security team that said that BIN LADEN WANTED TO ATTACK US BY FLYING AIRPLANES INTO AMERICAN SKYSCRAPPERS.

remember that when george w. bush was told that his country was under attack, he continued reading "my pet goat". that he sat there with this bizarre look in his eyes and did nothing. the commander in chief did nothing until someone came along and told him what to do. that is the truth, jack and it is a scary, scary truth at that. decider, my ass.

remember all of the above as we head into what could turn out to be the worst recession since the great depression of the 1930's.

and then, after you have remembered all of that; vote democratic. and when the democrats get into power we must all hold their feet to the fire to change the direction of this country. if we don't, we are fucked even more, if that is possible, than we are fucked now.

my good friend and member of the MERRY BLUESTERS, scott may, is in town with his band THE IDES OF MARCH to play here and we are getting together for drinks, food, smoke, stories, lies and other good things. later this year, scotty, kenny moore and i are resurecting the merry bluesters and going to do one more show with them backing me. if you never saw us, the guys have written some great songs that go along with my stories and we did a stage show in los angeles called THE STORYTELLER which was critically acclaimed but sparsely attended. we had also done parts of that show in vegas, lexington and houston and a couple of other cities i think but am not sure now. (ah, the ravages of age) point being the show is, in my opinion, really different and not only fun to do but is fun to watch. we rock! no shit. we rock! the show is going to play in louisville at the comedy caravan for sure and we may add another date to it. if you can, come out and see this one.
