POLITICS AND NATURE

Pressure continues to build on the various presidential hopefuls. The time is near. There will be no atonement for those that fail. Barack is bringing out Oprah soon and there is craziness in the Carolinas for the chance to get a glimpse of her, like the tour guide pointing out her house on St. Martin, or St. John, or wherever it is. All I remember is driving a four wheel drive suzuki around some island in the Carribean and word coming over the walkie talkie that she, in fact, owned a home there. It was a big home. Hillary, in turn, has brought out Barbara Streisand. As if that will make any difference whatsoever. Most people under 30 will have to ask....who? Those of us around 40 simply think to ourselves.....who cares.

Biden has about as much chance as Dodd, and neither are much ahead of Kucinich. Nobody talks to Bill Richardson anymore.

Bonds went to court. Another pampered, wealthy, overpaid baseball player busted and bringing down the sport. He should have just done acid. Nobody would care then.

Iran stopped their Nuke program four years ago but W continues to demand blood. It seems he would like nothing more than to see Amadinijead's head on a pike.  

Chavez lost, then blew up in private, away from a world of the poor he does not help and the wealthy whose scorn he has earned. Putin just beat the voters into submission and locked people away for thinking. W could only achieve such power in his dreams. Perhaps, this is why he goes to bed so early.

Mitt marked the week by swearing to God that he believed in God and that he wouldn't mandate marriage for young women throughout the nation to old, first cousins.

The House discussed and passed Jay Inslee's (D-Washington) bill called the Energy Independence and Security Act, HR 6.

Floods hit the Northwest and storms whitened the entire nation.

The revered leader arrived at a solution to the credit problem that will prove politically unpopular and which already has created outrage from conservatives and liberals alike. Some believe the government should do nothing, those people deserve what they got for being lazy and uninformed, others argue that everyone should be covered.

Only 5 soldiers have died in the first seven days of war in Iraq. This brings the total of deaths to 3,161 due to hostile action, according to the USA today. Who knows how many Iraqis. Good thing the surge is working. Violence is down to the levels it was at two years ago. Hmmmm. OK. Whatever the administration says. Good luck to them. Idiots.  

Meanwhile, throughout the United States of America, millions of people shared meals together with their children, people were saved from gunshot wounds and heart palpatations in emergency rooms, honest souls gathered together in the name of the Lord, some won, and some lost, in pick up games around the land, young lovers have gotten married and shared their vows, babies were born. Yes, all these contributed to this week in American history, but it is unlikely that much of that will be found in the news.
