June 12, 2006:
The Good News:
They finally got Zarqawi with some help from Iraqi informants
and a couple of 500 pounders. Kaboom as it were. They also got
his spiritual adviser, Rahman. Imagine a mad dog murderer like
him having a spiritual adviser? Is that to laugh or cry? I am
surprised our government was cautious about this. Maybe they
have finally learned something. There are thousands of Zarqawi's
laying in the weeds waiting to be the top mad martyr for these
insane fundamentalists. Another one will quickly pop up to take
his place.
Gag:
In Michigan we have a murder trial going on for a woman who is
accused of helping to kill several people. The DA and the defense
have been trying the case in the media for several weeks. The
judge finally got fed up and issued a gag order. It did not work.
ABC channel 12 local news ignored the order and kept on running
archived tapes of the babbling attorneys with reporter commentaries.
The judge should have stuffed a sock in their mouths.
Are We Surprised?
The 9-11 commission has found we are not ready for a disaster
of any kind. They gave failing grades to the government right
across the board. There is poor management. We do not have a
comprehensive terrorist watch list. Grants are based on politics
rather than risk and so on.
AIDS:
Twenty five years have passed since the first know case. Twenty
five million people have died. That's a lot of pain and grief
for a lot of people. We still don't have a cure.
Boom!
The A-bomb, the H-bomb, and the neutron bomb. We always think
of nuclear energy in terms of human destruction rather than human
liberation. We first built the A-bomb and used nuclear fission
as a tool of monumental destruction. It was only after the fact
that we considered fission as an energy source. For fusion, we
never did carry the research beyond the destruction phase. Ain't
it about time to start? Nuclear fusion might answer our energy
problem.
Gore:
He was on the George Stephanopolous show. He is deeply into global
warming as an issue. He is even doing a movie and he wrote a
book, "An Inconvenient Truth." That surprises me. It
is not a politically sound position. Though some people favor
doing something about global warming, most just don't give a
damn. They consider it to be a phantom issue. The republicrumbs
along with the oil lobby have convinced them that global warming
is just part of a natural cycle. If Gore wants to be president
he is going about it in the wrong way. Perhaps he is sincere.
Wouldn't that be something, a sincere politician? It boggles
the mind.
The Civil War:
It is really time for us to admit failure and get out of Iraq.
The media has reported incident after incident of ethnic atrocities.
The latest one is where a bunch of insane Sunnis pulled a bunch
of people off of a bus and murdered everyone who they could not
identify as a Sunni. They butchered Shiites and Kurds. It is
time to admit we have created a civil war and we cannot stop
it. We can only make it worse. Let's get our kids out and admit
King George blundered badly.
Bush:
He is so short of ideas that he is going after the same sex marriage
issue again. It didn't fly. The Senate turned it down but I think
he does not care. It gives him something to babble about. He
is just trying desperately to take attention away from his bungling
in the Middle East. That won't work either. Meanwhile we have
a number of US Marines who are probably going to be tried for
murdering Iraqis. Some of them are sure to be convicted. The
worst part of this is, those Marines should not even have been
there. A madman sent them there to carry out a personal vendetta.
They will be taking the rap for him.
Guardians:
In America, 400,000 people, mostly seniors, are living under
guardianship. The guardians are called conservators. Only four
states call for these so called conservators to be certified.
The rest, including Michigan, don't even watch them. They are
appointed by the courts and the courts routinely approve whatever
they do. Thousands of old people have been victimized by the
evil monsters in this business and nothing is being done about
it. Welcome to the land of the free! Conservators are free to
rape whomever they can convince the courts to hand over to them.
The victims don't have a say in this. They are supposedly incompetent,
you see. Sure! Execution would be too good for a conservators
who takes advantage of a senior. Judges who allow it should be
tried as accessories before the fact.
Illegal Immigrants:
The government blowhards are still at it pretending to solve
an insoluble problem. The Mexicans are still swarming over the
border after the jobs the Gringos won't do. We have spent 20
billion dollars in 12 years trying to keep them out. This problem
will not go away and there is only one real solution. The solution
is to create reasonable economic parity between the two countries.
We don't have Canadians swarming over our northern border. I
still think the best way to create parity is to annex Mexico.
Look at the borders. The border between the US and Mexico is
2000 miles long. The souther Mexican border is less than 1000
miles long. Which would be easier to defend? Mrs. Gaffer pointed
out there is a lot of corruption in Mexico that we would have
to deal with. I asked her if she has noticed the doings in Washington
and Lansing lately. She had no answer.
The procedure to take over Mexico is simple. The whole thing
would cost less than what is being proposed to keep the immigrants
out. These fools want to build a fence along the whole border.
Imagine a 12 foot high fence 2000 miles long. It would make the
Berlin wall look like a garden fence. The worst part is, It would
not work. The Mexicans would still find a way to get here to
take the Gringo jobs. By land or by sea or by tunnel, they will
come. Instead we can annex Mexico and make Fox interim governor.
Then we could send a billion tons of food down there. Our farmers
could produce that in a few months. Then we could send educators
down there and build elementary schools. It would be only a few
years before Mexico surpassed the literacy level of Alabama.
