We all look at, and believe

(or disbelieve) recent history based on our own experiences. Am watching 'Ali' on HBO, as Will Smith did a fantastic job, (esp on developing his body), in the role of Cassius Clay, who was the World Heavyweight Champion, BUT, told the US gov't to 'no way', and said he'd go to jail rather than going to fight in Viet Nam, when he got drafted. I grew up (or rather graduated high school) during the same era, watching friends get killed/wounded in Viet Nam, in a war that the gov't lied about to start ( we weren't attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin), to get the war they wanted to make a bunch of money, for the 'defense' contractors, and keep the military busy. The 'draft' was in full swing, based on 'God and Country', and I developed longstanding opinions on both, as they'd send us to jail for a LONG time, if we were caught with pot, or didn't wanna fight their war. At least we thought it couldn't happen again. HA! Bush/Cheney did the same thing, with a war based on lies, for the profit of a few, at the expense and suffering of many. Bottom line, some things never change, from the beginning of time. Those in power send soldiers to suffer and die (and kill) for profit. The only question is, 'How can people not see what is SO obvious?' Oh yeah. They believe FOX. and the Pubs. One and the same...

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

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...

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...
