Santorum bravely deflected the Church Sex Scandals toward the 'liberals'. Apparently, the liberal social mores of our oldest Puritan city encourage bestiality and privacy, which Santorum came from Virginia to defend Pennsylvania against.
He's a chump.
His wife should go home and make some cookies, and a Santorum daughter can look forward to a life of low-class toil. Because he works against everything a liberated human should want.
He's a fag.
Santorum is Latin for "Phony whore".
All kidding aside, Rick Santorum's another asshole Republican excusing the behavior of his allies and casting blame for their atrocious misdeeds on his political enemies. We enemies of the Apologist Republican Party ironically encourage the free trade of thought and discourse. And privacy. I bet Santorum has plenty of personal security, lots of high gates to protect his privacy, even though he got on the Senate floor and argued there's no such Constitutional right.
Let's look VERY HARD at the public Republican. They always say the opposite of their real message...

Rove, row your boat
Karl Rove and his little friend George have no interest in our security. They're all about politics.
Rove committed a crime, and the Republicans are doing the same thing they always do: muddy the water.
Stay on task: Republican apologists must be removed from our government. They represent nothing but excuses, why the economy tanked, why they can't get bin Laden, why they didn't arm the soldiers they sent, why they turned Powell into a laughing stock when he did that stupid marionette dance for the UN. Accountability is the last thing they want and the first thing they promote.
They excuse Bush for lying to the world and sending hundreds of thousands of Americans to Iraq to generate SERIOUS military-industrial complex revenue. They excuse Cheney for lobbying hard to help out with the profits of the contractor he ran ineffectively during his brief civilian career. They excuse Rice for saying, "It wasn't my job" when asked why she wasn't on top of FBI and CIA reports and memos entitled "Osama Bin Laden is going to Hijack a Plane and crash into something Important." They excuse Frist for coming to the Senate as a secular pragmatist and converting to Wingnut to gain a solid constituency, prostituting his faith for money. They excuse DeLay for violating every rule of the Congress and of election finance and even of his own state. They excuse Eric Rudolph for bombing random passersby. Now, the architect of the coup, Karl Rove is getting a pass for violating a sacred trust and injuring our national security by outing Plame and helping the proliferators of weapons.
Helping the bad guys? Of course: These Republican leaders love our enemies more than they do us. Make no mistake. WHen they go off topic, stay on task: Rove committed a high crime. Eventually, one will have a hissy fit and go off script.

Where are they now?
Where is:
Karl Rove's Prison Uniform?
The money Halliburton/KBR overbilled us and lost oversease?
The Iraqi money in the Iraqi Bank when Bremer took over ?
President Bush's military records, DUI records?
Where are the criminals executing for Nixon in Watergate?
Oh- I know where they are=> SPEAKING FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Where is the guy who helped Reagan
1)Steal US missiles
2)Smuggle them into Iran
3)Trade them to Iran for money and hostages
4)Take the money to fund illegal operations in South America?

SPEAKING FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
David Duke for Supreme Court? Why???
The administration and the Republican Party have been working hard to marginalize their opponents. They've been working hard to increase the conflict everywhere they can identify wedge issues. It's important that these politicians stop it. They have to realize they're working for the country, representing a diverse population.
Far-out Fundamentalist cries for another polarizing move on the national and even more permanent level illustrate the disconnect. They want to marginalize the majority of Americans who live as individuals, work for progress and want the Constitution to continue defending their rights.
Bill Frist and his allies in that sect want a religious test for office, a fundamental contradition to the Constitution, and they claim strict constructionist leanings. They either lie or they don't understand the difference between their words and their works. Either way, they are an enemy to freedom and our nation. Traitors to the Constitution.
Mr. Bush's legacy will be one of discord and ruin if he chooses to brush off the realistic-minded among us with another wet kiss to the far right, and we'll all suffer when we have no defense against drug companies, insurance companies, real estate companies, all the industries freed to influence our government instead of us. We'll have the right to practice a Christian religion of our choice, but lose the right to do something worthwhile with our time.
Whether it's religion or business, the slant of this government reflects only a slim but animated segment of our society, and is gradually diminishing the value of the individual in our country in favor of the Bloc and the Lobby.

The News These Days
If you were on the planet last week, you probably heard there were bombings in London, and then heard again, and then again. Speeches were made, short and impromptu at first, but becoming more consistent with practice. London has a history of being tough and isn't likely to go soft.
What else? We learned that among the traitors in the White House, the unelected oft-wedgied Karl Rove was the boss behind retaliation against Ambassador Wilson's downright public attempts to pull the wool off our eyes. I'm sure he'll get tough love. But then again, the Bush Justice Department let Eric Rudolph off with just a lifetime of free meals and cable TV. And the chance to get a law degree and publish, preach, lead. They should cut both their heads off- ROve and Rudolph. To let them walk after killing indiscriminately and disclosing national security secrets sends a tacit message to the extremists that it's okay. Bush is complicit. Haven't seen Cheney in a while...
Other stuff? Well, Reagan appointee Justice O'Connor surprised us all with a retirement. And the Christian Fun-go-mentalist movement is going apeshit. They hate God for creating us with Free Will, even denying it. They demand the government take our rights away so we can't sin. And they want the Bush appointee for the O'Connor slot to promise to help.
Far from uplifting the human condition, they want to deny it. They lie, they cheat, they move from Virginia to become professional Senators (Santorum) in other people's states, they imagine and promulgate a history with radical cultural figments. And they probably simply don't know the science behind germ theory or natural selection. I'm sure one of the DC landmarks they want to destroy is the Smithsonian Institution's Natural History Museum, with all those satanic dinosaur props.
Everything they do is wrong. God damn them.

Trumped
Interesting that our property can now be seized not for petty non-crimes like marijuana possession but for the commercial interests of real estate development.
This country is getting pretty fucked up. Regime change time?

Faith in Science
We're living a lot longer than we did (we are a species) in the Middle Ages, when the world was flat, the universe revolved around it, and every aspect of our society was influenced by the politicians through their use of the Church of the Fear of the Unknown.
We're living a lot longer, not because of our faith in a deity, or because we're marching under the direction of the preacher industry. It's because we killed millions of rats. And because we've disproven, discarded and replaced the dictates of the preacher industry. The Germ theory of Disease cured the concept that God wants us to be sick. The heliotropic solar system cured the notion that we occupy the center of the Universe. Emancipation argues that God doesn't supply our lot in life and demand we subjugate ourselves to our betters.
If your faith is such that higher education and science threatens it, then you should surrender your likely longevity. Do it now.

That speech again
The president spoke last night, pleading for patience while his impromptu war in Iraq diverts our attention and treasure, and while his party uses their dysingenuity to frame letters like this one as unpatriotic.
I'd like some patience from my mortgage company. See, I need more time to work between payments because this president's aggressive bungling of US economic policy caused a plunging dollar and a doubling of energy prices, while Chinese voracity for resources are driving every other price higher, even as it cheapens the products Americans no longer make. This president confounds reason.
I'm not surprised he had the temerity to ask for patience, sending 200,000 US soliders and 20,000 contract killers to work in Iraq until his non-plan looks like it's working better than half the time. Think of 2,000 dead soldiers and unnumbered civilian deaths as a late fee on his war mortgage. Think of the invisible Dover flights of casualties as his ashamed and stammering excuses for not paying the bill on time.
His plan: We still have some soldiers left, and China is still covering our expenses, so let's see what happens if I'm allowed to continue this ridiculous money pit project to overpay my friends' companies to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars we raise by borrowing instead of taxing ourselves.
When Rumsfeld argued hard that the chemical weapons agents he sold Saddam when he ran Searle were an imminent threat to our security, he was lying. No patience.
When Wolfowitz argued hard that Iraq would finance its reconstruction and therefore we should destroy it, he knew better than anyone reading this that it was false- dramatically untrue, poppycock, nonsense. When dictatorships fall there is no capacity for self-governance, and after over a decade of sanctions no infrastructure can produce enough revenue to build a whole country. Certainly no patience for that.
When Bush lied about Yellowcake in Niger, when Cheney lied about Saddam cooperating with the rival Al-Quaeda, when Powell was lying to the rest of the world on our behalf, it was not at all like ignoring Japanese planes heading for Pearl Harbor. It was studied manipulation of the information we have access to in an effort to tie us up in an abstract unplannable war against an -ism, in a location where the -ism had nowhere to roost without our help.
No patience. Our opponent over there is killing people we need to defend our country against actual threats.
And what happened to those tens of Billions of Dollars Cheney's colleagues at the military-industrial complex misplaced, overbilled and otherwise stole from us? I want it back with interest.

Pensions
When you accept a job offer, you might be joining a startup or a speculative business. That's what I usually do. I think that in order to do something significant, I have to accept some risk.
But ten years ago, when you or someone you know joined a company as a worker, if you were offered stock options as a benefit you accepted a risky proposition. By contrast, if you accepted a retirement package or a defined-benefits pension, you got a contract, legally executable in the United States as specified in the Constitution.
I believe companies offering these pensions owe those pensions. Stockholders on the board are there for the risky possibility of a boon. Salaried employees made a square deal. Defaulting on that deal without taking some of the damage is unforgivable.
I want a law. I want the SEC to require quarterly pension fund reports from every company offering a pension. And for each quarter in which managers or board members are compensated, or for every instance where profits are distributed aside from dividends to common stockholders, they must meet their pension obligations. Any underfunding of a pension fund will be met with cash from the pockets of the management, or else their shares of the company will be sold to make up for the shortfall.
Executives have been above justice too long.

Ignoring the middle
Our politicians are applying their trade in a way that increases polarization and pathology. As an extreme moderate, I think the Christian Right has turned satanic, failing to recognize the impiety, arrogance and pride they express when they deny the omnipotence of their deity.
Of course God can create the universe. And of course evolution can happen by design. But it happens, and to deny it is stupid! More properly, the Fundo-Mentals deny God's ability to do more than they can imagine.
And the progressives fail themselves by creating their platform as a reaction to the right. We should be proud to practice altruism and proud to protect our families', friends' and neighbors' jobs, lives, standing. And some of the stuff being done in the name of art and liberty is pretty yucky.
But the whole government is trying to master the wedge right now, Republicans tweezing social issues apart in a way that forces people to choose between Constitutional reality and should-be-hypothetical abberations.
Democrats are scrambling to find their own wedge, something they can apply to shave membership off the big dumb block of the bare-minimum majority. But they both have momentum, and we're getting more polarized. They practice extreme rhetoric because they can't contribute in society. They can only find their place seated ABOVE us.

More on Brown, or Moron Brown
Judge Brown was on my mind again today. She called the New Deal a Socialist victory, remember? Fitting. People on her side, the opponents of freedom, deliberately overlook the irony of their leader, the worst American President ever, has handed to China the keys to our kingdom, even blowing 5 decades of work started by their favorite dead president, Nixon.
We've been trying hard for 50 years to help Taiwan and Hong Kong maintain some independence from Communist China. But since these Bet-it-All-on-Red-and-keep-betting-'til-it's-gone versions of what used to be Republicans are presiding over a runaway train, a stampede of the unwashed, they must live in fear that China will cash in their US Bonds and bury the Dollar.
The Republicans mean death to us all.

Those pathetic fucks: Rough draft- might get rougher.
They can't prosecute Enron for destroying thousands of retirement accounts, swindling entire states. They can't convict Andersen for cooperating with them. They can't do anything successfully when it's worthwhile, but those pathetic fucks sure know how to put a damper on culture.
Some things should be free, or at least public. But have you seen any deliberate attempt to protect municipal water supplies, even though they're listed as top terror threats? Well, the Republican leadership (and maybe some Democrats) don't want public water. They don't want to pay for it unless it helps their religious wackjob consituency (not the voters- you don't have money) achieve their goal of continental domination.
If it advocates appreciation for diversity, if it criticizes powerful positions, if it doesn't beat the drum for marching neo-Christianics, there's no room for it. Is that the argument? Or is it more a case of simple resentment of the critical unbiased reporting? Is it because Cookie Monster is Blue and Bert and Ernie live together?
If our leaders reclaimed 10% of the money simply lost by Halliburton in Iraq, a few decades of Clifford the Big Red Dog would help children learn about getting along with the other dogs. I want every leader in Congress drawn and quartered, but I'll settle for their financial ruin if it means their spouses and children turn to drugs and prostitution.
This isn't what Christians do. This is what the Nazis, the Communists and the Islamists have done. Sesame Street. Really.
If you're a Republican, you probably didn't get this far. You should be ashamed of yourself, at least enough to write your representative or senator. At least enough to vote America back. I'm not interested in making a rational appeal for calm and sober reconsideration. This is an emotional issue- HOW BAD ARE THESE REPUBLICANS? How bad can a human be? Empowered by religion, they descend into Lord of the Flies, demanding restrictions on their behavior, but if their mothers weren't evil they would be able to control themselves. But they are, so they can't.

Oy, these Judges !
Dear Senator Specter,
Brown's all wrong. Mr. Specter, she's so far out, she's so far right she's left right.
The New Deal was not a victory for Socialism. It was a victory for SOCIETY, in which People live among us. Her inability to grasp that nuance should disqualify her from any role in government of the people, whose authority rests in the consent of the people.
And Pryor! Wow. Imagine believing the Constitution and Bill of Rights don't apply to People. And then, imagine believing in Jailing the gay people for what they do in bed!
Senator Santorum, you can leave the room, if the door isn't too complicated for you to operate. I know how you feel about individuals and their right to privacy, and how you think Americans are incapable of guiding their own lives. It must comfort you or something. But really, Senator Specter, you have to understand how completely inappropriate these people are to be sitting on the court where individuals appeal for their rights to be protected.
Vote against both of these nominees, and bounce Bolton, and get on with your work. This administration can't last forever. Just seems like it.
Thank you,
Joe

Judge Janice Rogers Brown
Judge Janice Rogers Brown decries the New Deal as a 'Victory for Socialism', but she's an idiot. It was a victory for SOCIETY. The New Deal was a triumphant expression of our culture too.
But you know what is a victory for socialism? The fact that through the absurdity of the Bush administration our flaccid economy is currently underwritten by robust communist China.
Way to go, conservatives, you can't even see it, can you?

Globally mediocre idealist fish seeks pinheaded bicycle
Can John Bolton be good for the United Nations? Ironically, yes. But predictably, he will not be good for us.
A sworn enemy of the UN, Bolton can be expected to take the battle to it, and carry with him the elitist psychopath attitudes toward everyone on the planet best expressed by President Bush and the Republican Party. Voinovich didn't vote against him, he held his nose and did the opposite of what his proper upbringing told him. And rather than advise and consent, this Senate Rubbers and Stamps to curry favor with the moneybringing juggernaut of the GOP. He is the worst person for the job of Ambassador to the UN, and illustrates a pattern.
Bush's decisions have disgraced Colin Powell as a marionette, who must be bound and gagged in some Foggy Bottom basement right now. So the UN knew what to expect when Condosleasa Rice earned her Secretary of State job by ignoring the PDB titled "Osama Bin Laden is Going to Hijack Planes and Crash them into Major Sites in the US". Hey- isn't she the Russia expert presiding over the security apparatus of the US? The same one who helped Bush stop securing portable Russian Nukes? The one in charge of State when Russia got a new Oil Pipeline because despite their terrible mideast relations they're better than ours are? And hey- she has Africa experience, sitting on the Chevron board when the machine-gunned all those dangerous Nigerians.
But good for the UN; Bolton will be singularly ineffective in furthering our interests but a uniter of our competitors. He already disgraced our partners in the North Korea project so badly the State Department stopped letting him speak for himself. The only interest he serves is conflict. There's a difference between tough guy and asshole, and this guy is the latter.
The secret CIA documents Senate Democrats are rightly demanding probably indicate the name of the CIA operative the Republican Party leaked to Novack. Since we'll probably be needing the UN to unite to protect us from the oligarchy being cultivated- Andersen's aquittal by the Supreme Court and inaction in the Cheney/Enron task force case indicate our best chance for justice will be the International Criminal Court. And we can expect our international neighbors to fight hard FOR strengthening it and AGAINST Bolton.
When are the sane Republicans going to redeem themselves and jettison this administration? Not until China stops underwriting Bush's insane spending and bounced us from the Security Council as obstructionist paupers.

But good for the UN; Bolton will be singularly ineffective in furthering our interests but a uniter of our competitors. He already disgraced our partners in the North Korea project so badly the State Department stopped letting him speak for himself. The only interest he serves is conflict. There's a difference between tough guy and asshole, and this guy is the latter.
The secret CIA documents Senate Democrats are rightly demanding probably indicate the name of the CIA operative the Republican Party leaked to Novack. Since we'll probably be needing the UN to unite to protect us from the oligarchy being cultivated- Andersen's aquittal by the Supreme Court and inaction in the Cheney/Enron task force case indicate our best chance for justice will be the International Criminal Court. And we can expect our international neighbors to fight hard FOR strengthening it and AGAINST Bolton.
When are the sane Republicans going to redeem themselves and jettison this administration? Not until China stops underwriting Bush's insane spending and bounced us from the Security Council as obstructionist paupers.
Newsweek
What will Newsweek do? I may stop reading because they're doing anything to apologize for their indictment of the Administration's disgusting behavior. Turns out it was kinda true, that the Koran was involved in the psychological torture practiced at Guantanamo.
A few dozen people died protesting behavior now shown to be at least substantially close to the truth. Big deal. Bush and his liar cabal got it nowhere near the bulls-eye and killed over 1,600 Americans. And they won't admit a thing.
Newsweek, I'm offended you're entertaining this false indignant posturing from the administration. You're endangering us. We need an independent media, and you did the right thing.
But since you brought it up, what will the administration do to make up for killing 1600 of us over false accusations?
Nothing, because they know their constituency, and their constituency wants liars to kill Americans.

Develpmental DeLay
I understand DeLay was a simple exterminator before turning to the public for his livelihood. Interesting a boy who likes to kill bugs would turn out to be the most powerful man in the House of Representatives. Misunderstood only by his supporters, it might not be all his fault.
The companies he wants us to give up our sovereignty to make things the educated among us want to curb, things like poions, pesticides and weapons. In DeLay's case, intense exposure to pesticides understood to negatively influence the development of the fetus he so dishonestly claims to protect may have had a role in turning him into the drooling power-mad retarded idiot he is today.
Stop laughing- that's a bad thing. His drive, channeled into Christian projects like feeding the hungry or loving his neighbors would be pretty effective, no? Instead, he's been desensitized to the plight of others by prolonged exposure to poison.
But since he's on the wrong side of every issue, the only down side to his toxic career is that he's probably built up an immunity. Interesting his Texans for a Republican Majority broke Texas law to ultimately put more idiot Texan Reps on the Hill for all of us to suffer.

A little bit true, huh?
So it's a little bit true that US citizens working at Guantanamo abused the Koran. Of course it is. We all knew it, because we all know the administration and its operatives are liars.
It's also true that as subordinates of superiors appointed by Americans elected by other Americans, they've done it in our name and dragged us into it.
But it hasn't been true yet that the Administration can't control its minions. Everyone in GOPDC (a subsidiary of GOPAC) has been in lock-step unison since 2000. When Abu Ghraib happened, we all knew perfectly well the place was set up to humiliate and torture the bad guys, that there would be a small show, and that a few peons would take the fall. Rumsfeld knew that, and so did our Attorney General. Humiliation and power trips are part and parcel of their policies, as demonstrated by the demands for 100% acceptance of the 'President's' nomination wish list.
So Newsweek called it right. In every instance of official communication from this administration and the Republican Party leadership, I look to the exact opposite of what is said and then look for the intended object of the communication to find the truth. They are evil satanic liars and only have interest in achieving their goal of armageddon, when they believe they'll be sucked into outer space.
I'm all for that.

Wow, he must be bad
Wow. Tom DeLay's private grease company was found IN TEXAS to have BROKEN TEXAS LAW.
Did you read what I just read? IN TEXAS, the most Powerful Texan, Tom DeLay, was found to have BROKEN the LAW of his HOME STATE.
That is, Tom DeLay is a CRIMINAL, not just an ASSHOLE.
Spread the word: It must be the LIBERAL TEXAS JUDGES CONSPIRING AGAINST THE HOLY MAN TOM DELAY, since HE THREATENS JUDGES AND ENCOURAGES VIOLENCE AGAINST JUDGES.
But there are no liberals in Texas. Just good upstanding marching folks, who elect people to write and uphold LAWS TOM DELAY BREAKS.
Wheee,
Joe

The Spectre of Specter?
Senator Specter,I heard some disturbing things when the venerable Senator spoke about the filibuster and nominees. You rationalized the Republican position and called the Democratic effort payback for poor treatment during the Clinton administration. True, your colleagues (and you by extension, as their team member) acted like children then, but they didn't grow up when handed the keys to the kingdom.
You used the word Repugnant, but also said Nuke You Lar instead of the word we English speakers use, where an L comes after the C. You're speaking Texan.
Clearly, the Republican putsch to skew the courts further with activist judges has nothing to do with principle, but rather is another results-based effort they see as their interest. No matter what, the minority will be silenced.
It is true, Mr. Specter, the party straitjackets are on. But the real problem with these nominees is their nature. A slap in the face. A demand for prostration. More evidence the Republicans are bent on humiliating opponents. And you are in the jacket as well. Too bad such a distinguished career had to go this way.
None of these judges are qualified. Democratic efforts to forestall the coming shutdown are the only efforts being made, and they're willing to sacrifice some dignity in the interest of the country.
By cooperating with you betters in this argument, you will rename yourself the Fundamentalist Tool from Pennsylvania, apparently in an effort to hold your seat in the event the Toomey campaign maintains its anti-freedom and anti-Pennsylvanian momentum for the next Senate race.
Do the right thing, oppose the President. He and his cohort are wrong.
