I told you so

Israel promises to stop bombing and murdering civilians, but reneges on the promise. But then again, I told you so. See entry for June 28.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!

The Nutcase Rightwing Alliance (NRA), er, the National Rifle Association is back at it again. They write “Using the war on terrorism as a phony excuse, the anti-gunners are fighting for laws that will BAN HANDGUNS, LIMIT THE NUMBER OF GUNS YOU CAN OWN, TAX AMMO, LICENSE, REGISTER AND FINGERPRINT GUN OWNERS… AN VIRTUALLY REPEAL THE SECOND AMENDMENT!” And they name the usual suspects in Congress as those who will outlaw hunting ammo, padlock ranges and declare hunting lands off limits. But they may be successful in the fear and smear campaign, just like they were in 2000. Remember, it’s these folks who help bring you George Bush. And you are, of course, freer, more secure, and better off than you were BB (Before Bush). They may be successful because, as a society, we’re dumber than dirt! I have yet to see such proposed legislation. The NRA will tell a lie and tell it long and loud.... and the sheep (er, public) just nods their heads. A little questioning and a little research is far beyond the ken of the average American.

A Bridge in New York

The Israelis deliberately targeted and killed the UN observers along the Lebanon-Israel border just like they deliberately targeted and killed 34 U.S. Sailors aboard USS Liberty in 1987. If you think Israel is our friend, then I have a bridge in New York I'll be happy to sell you!

King George

The American Bar Association, a non-partisan organization, has declared that George Bush is breaking the law and trashing the Constitution with the signings stating that as King, er, as Commander in Chief, he's not going to follow the laws passed by Congress. Two hundred thirty years ago, the patriots of this country booted out one George; and because he can't run again due to the Constitution, it's time to boot out George followers in 2008. [Perhaps he'll make a signing on that as well!!!]
