The Furious Spinner

I'm so angry and discouraged by our elected officials. They recently passed CAFTA. This is a gift to the corporate structure. The Bushies twisted more arms in Congress this week than they have at Gitmo all year. By the way, these are the Democrats who voted for CAFTA, who voted for big business over your best interest: Melissa Bean (IL), Jim Cooper (TN), Henry Cuellar (TX), Norm Dicks (WA), Ruben Hinojosa (TX), William Jefferson (LA), Jim Matheson (UT), Greg Meeks (NY), Dennis Moore (KS), Jim Moran (VA), Solomon Ortiz (TX), Ike Skelton (MO), Vic Snyder (AR), John Tanner (TN), Ed Towns (NY). Let 'em know they're walking around naked.

I'm starting to wonder (again) if it's possible for anything good to happen via our government. This administration lies, steals, causes the deaths of tens of thousands of people—they do this for years, mind you—and they're still in power. I thought this thing with Karl Rove might topple the Bushies. I believe he's a traitor. But then, I think most of the Bushies are: traitors to the human race and this planet. I don't think they care about this country or this world. They bow down to the corporations they know and love. I keep hoping I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any evidence of it. Judith Miller is still in jail; I still don't feel sorry for her. I know I'm not following the Progressive line on this, but I've always danced to the beat of a different drummer. I think Robert Novak should be in jail along with Karl Rove and George Bush, but I still believe Miller has a lot to answer for.

Someone asked me about Frist changing his mind. "Did you hear Frist came out for stem cell research? Maybe this means the Republicans realize how bad Bush is." "No," I said, "it means Frist is running for president."

Let's not forget about the Supreme Court nominee. You've heard the spin on what a great guy he is. Smart, knowledgeable, etc., etc. No one can say he isn't qualified: at least that's what they keep saying over and over and over and over and fucking over again. He may be a nice guy. I haven't a clue, and I don't really care. I do care that he is most likely a rightwing Conservative.

And let's not forget what's happening with the environment. If the Emperor and his fashionistas keep it up, we won't have an environment left.

Speaking of torture, former President Jimmy Carter said today that what's happening at Gitmo is a disgrace and the war in Iraq is unnecssary and unjust. I'm sure the fashionistas will go after him instead of addressing the issue. They always kill the messenger; they don't bother to deny what the messenger has said.

For those of you who remember Watergate: the Bush Administration is so much worse. Who would have ever guessed? Yet none of it seems to stick. When will these people fall from power? When will the American people wake up?

While we're waiting for the fall, let's keep talking to everyone. Don't let people forget the truth—and educate them if they don't know the truth.
