While lying awake, last night,

after watching Oliver Stone's "JFK", a movie that I hadn't seen for in a LONG time, I was kinda asking myself what I really believed. First of all, if you haven't seen JFK, which was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, you gotta. It has probably the most amazing cast I have ever seen together in one movie. It really brings back all the sorrow and rage of Kennedy's assassination, the Viet Nam War, and the huge number of unabashed lies the gov't put out, which some people actually believe(d). I would imagine you would have had to have lived through it, like I did, to feel true outage. BUT, I'm getting off course. My thoughts, last night, then turned toward 9-11, Iraq and the Bush administation. Do I believe Bush went to war KNOWING Saddam had no WMD? Absolutely, without a doubt. I can't say if it was religious zeal, advice from big oil/military advisors, or if he's just stupid. Probably a combination of the three. Did Cheney/Rumsfeld (and maybe Bush) have prior knowledge, and possible connections to 9-11? Maybe. Lots of credible information points toward it. BUT, even I have a hard time believing someone could be so evil, although if someone could, Cheney would be at the top of my list. So, I'm left, still pondering the unthinkable, but certainly not convinced that the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on oil and defense (Cheney and Rumsfeld) wasn't the payoff for the ultimate greed of some powerful old men. I know it's hard to believe, but I thoroughly believed we could never have another Viet Nam type war, people being killed and maimed, based on lies, but we did. All I can do is keep an open mind, and ultimately let the facts lead me to the truth. I just know I'm not ruling out anything....

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
