This act (H.R. 5889, The Orphan Works Act of 2008) if passed would render, according to those in the arts, all copyrights impotent.

Friday, May 30, 2008 Probe of Crude Oil Trading Disclosed Commodity Futures Trading Commission Says (7 comments)
I watched with interest as oil company CEO's thumbed their nose at congress with the same arrogant and provocative smirk displayed by the onetime sleaze US Attorney, of which it is now alleged can't even find a job sweeping floors at any legitimate, conscientious, law firm. As one fool said, "We only make one cent per gallon on gasoline. I heard a fellow in our local Sports Restaurant, bar, say during that newscast, "Lord there is no shame in these lying war criminals. May the Lord strike them with that smirk being frozen permanent and on the spot like the Joker (Jack Nicholson) in the First Batman Film."

McCain can be had, it just takes some toughing out and the Cojones to attack now while the iron is hot. To beat him one has to be tough, ballsy, rough. Hillary can do it, can Obama. The time for philosphy is over, it is time to bury the Tomahawk where it belongs, in the center of the Republican's errors.

Friday, April 18, 2008 Why We May Never See The Real USA Again (30 comments)
Are the three candidates playing for ego, money and celebrity or are they trying to save our sacred Democracy? I say they are playing to the lowest common denominator in America-the dumbest crowds on the planet, and settling for great wealth at the munificence of lobbyists. Rock Star status with huge money and celebrity status is the goal, in my not often humble opinion.

Is Bob Schaffer (R-Colorado) somehow involved to the extent Tom DeLaye appears to have been, with Abramoff the Colorado Republican lobbyist indicted a few years ago for corruption, fraud, and cloudy dealing, along with Representative Tom DeLay? Byethebye, Delaye has never been brought to trial, why is that? Now will Mr. Schaffer, (we hope) soon be joining Mr. Abramoff? And will Mr. DeLaye make it a three-way?
Tuesday, April 8, 2008 The Pope's Visit, Is It Less Than Welcome? (38 comments)
The Pope will again visit GW Bush, and probably not Boston. The Boston diocese has gone bankrupt defending Pedophiliac priests, so he is avoiding them. Instead he visits the mass-murderer he supported as president who is responsible for 1.5 million murders of Iraqi's, as well as 4.2 million Iraqi Diaspora, 4 million casualties and 3.5 million virtually homeless, and countless rapes and other abuses of human rights. That makes a lot of moral sense, does it not?

Friday, March 21, 2008 Ron Paul and Elliot Spitzer; Nailing The Next FDR's (14 comments)
When the Government, with a vengeance, went after Elliot Spitzer for doing what comes naturally, it confirmed my incessant writings against The Patriot Act, The Military Commissions Act of 2006, the government spying on American citizens, all of which were approved or ignored with acquiescence by head's in the seats of their pants, by silly Democrats in cowards clothing.

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 How I Feel-In Congress, July 4, 1776 (7 comments)
Below is how I feel about the horrors unleashed by this administration aided and abetted by our own congress and their misuse of our resources, of profiting through Usury on oil which costs $00.02 per gallon, making 190% profit and the excesses of the Military, Medical, Industrial Complex upon American fighting men and women, innocent American citizens and those, innocent, civilian Iraqi's and many other nations and peoples of the world. I hope you all agree. While some of the offenses listed below are different from those we now suffer, new technology has added many offenses not discussed herein. Now, we have lost the most precious gifts God and our forefathers gave us, our freedom of communications, our Constitution and Bill of rights. We must get them back.

Sunday, January 6, 2008 Sillier Than The Debates? The Coverage!
Not only was the debate a great vehicle for a Robin Williams chew-up of the furniture, but anyone one with an IQ above that of a turnip, could have performed a rip-roaring comedic satire of it, the participants, moderators and the followup reportage. Only Ron Paul made any sense. Well, MSM reporters, instead of simply not doing any viable research; maybe you ought to start reading OPEdNews.Com before writing your columns?.

On the international Level, we have men in political high office committing every crime in the book.

It is not enough to write about and discuss America's problems and the villains behind them all.

Here is a starting point.

Sunday, December 9, 2007 Dems Outed On Torture OKay in 2002!
Well, it would seem that hypocrisy cuts both ways, Right and Left. The Dems, it turns out, knew all the time about waterboarding.

So, that makes them equally CULPABLE to war crimes, no wonder she-the hypocrite will not impeach, because she would go to the slammer with the Bushites.

The 2002 Election may have been lost by fraud, so might the election of 2004, but there was a much more subtle cause of Neo-con victories and Liberal losses and they had more to do with the bedroom that the ballot box.
