Weekly Notes:

December 11, 2006:

Accidents:

There is no such thing. Everything that happens, including those things we call accidents have a cause. On Pearl Harbor day, December 7, 2006, I caused an accident. I was in a hurry and thinking selfishly when I “accidentally” backed my truck into the side of another vehicle. I disrupted the lives of two other people. I felt crappy for a long time after that. I did what I could about the insurance and all, but two other humans were still messed up because of my carelessness. If I had been thinking community instead of self, the so called accident would never have happened. Stupid! Just stupid!

By the way, if you really want to tweak a person who has damaged you, be remarkably kind to them. All through this, the people whose car I dinged up were remarkably kind to me. It made me feel like crap.

Rummy’s Memo:

After all of the bluster and bull he passed off to the public, the truth is out. It seems he knew what we were doing in Iraq was not working. People in Washington ought to know that whatever they put in writing will eventually be made public. Maybe Rummy did know that. Maybe he wanted the memo to be leaked. It is typical of George that he was not even embarrassed about the memo. Just another day of bluff and bluster in the reign of King George.

Hadley:

Hadley, White House National Security Advisor, put some nice frosting on the brown blob left by Rummy’s memo. He said it was helpful input for the President. Hadley is also the guy whose leaked memo said Maliki was ignorant. Now he has completely reversed himself. He said Maliki is the man to lead Iraq. Is that a flop or a flip? I keep loosing count. Hadley is still mouthing the party line. He claims we can still have an effect in Iraq. I think we have had an effect. Heck, we caused a civil war. We claim we are training Iraqis to serve the national government. In truth, we are training Sunnis to kill Shi=ites and Shi=ites to kill Sunnis. There were thirteen thousand Iraqi’s killed over the last four months. Perhaps, if we stay, we can escalate that into a pogrom worthy of Hitler. The violence will end when a strong man takes over in Iraq. Our presence is preventing that.

Maliki:

Does anyone believe Maliki will take on Al Sadr? All you have to do is see them together to know that’s never going to happen. When we staged that so-called election in Iraq, George thought Maliki was his puppet. Not so! It turns out that he is Al Sadr’s puppet. Why not? He knows his life depends on Al Sadr’s protection. Without that, he would have been offed long ago. What would you do?

Options

Bush brushed off the Baker report, as we knew he would. It does not matter. Everyone who talks about Iraq has blinders on. It matters not if they are Dumbocrats or Republicrumbs. It matters not if the are members of Baker’s study group. They keep talking about options, phased withdrawal, talking to Iran and Syria, and all kinds of other nonsense. There are only two options that I see. Either we put in a military governor with a million troops to support him or we get the hell out. We should have, but we don’t have a million man army, so we better get out. The sooner we face that, the less damage there will be. While we are about it, we ought to start building an army. This can of worms we opened is not going to go away. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

The Joint Press Conference:

For a joint statement, George and Blair choose the White House to spread their Bologna. Why not? That place has become a real joint. So, two guys who can’t find their butt with both hands got together and tried to find each other’s butt. It was like an old Laurel and Hardy flick. They are in a state of total denial.

Born Again:

To be born again the student must experience ego death. I have yet to do that, so I have a long way to go. The so called born again Christians believe God is outside them so they have never experienced ego death. They are not born again. they are just bullcrap artists protecting their egos.

Post Partum Syndrome:

We have a very weird culture. All of our institutions are structured to support the pregnant woman right up until she has the baby. Immediately after the birth, all support is withdrawn. Then we have a new mother with a new baby who has been essentially abandon. The doctor has other patients, Papa goes off to work, and Grandma, if she was there at all, goes home. The mother is expected to just pick up all of her previous duties and care for the baby with no period of recovery at all. Doesn’t it strike anyone that that is insane? No wonder some women go nuts.

We Saw it on TV:

Women are getting into the (sport?) of hunting along with men. They get these big guns to shoot birds, deer, and Gord knows what else. One woman waxed eloquent about how thrilling it is to kill. She actually kissed a freshly killed pheasant for the camera. It stuns me. There is no way I can identify with anyone who enjoys killing and thinks of it as a sport.

Along with that, the State of Michigan, Department of Natural Resources, is raising the prices on all hunting and fishing licenses. Sound’s good to me. Perhaps they will use some of the money so raised to improve our state parks. Of course the hunters are whining like mad. It is ludicrous. You see a guy on camera wearing hunting cloths that cost five or six hundred bucks with a cannon over his shoulder that cost at least four hundred and he’s whining about a sixty buck license to kill.

Don’t worry. They will ante up. If not they will become poachers. What they will not do is give up hunting. Killing for the thrill is an addiction more powerful than drugs. Comparatively, cigarettes are trivial. Once one of these throwbacks has drawn blood, he or she will not stop. While I am at it, I may as well admit I am a bit of a hypocrite. I love ground round burgers. I also like fish, beef tenderloin, and pork. What I can’t make myself do is kill an animal. I let the packing industry do that part for me, then I buy it and eat it. Duh!

Hastert:

The so-called bipartisan House Ethics Committee has finished their investigation of Foley’s Folly. Remember, Foley is the guy who resigned after he was exposed while trying to get it on with the male pages. As expected, these frauds found no evidence of cover-up or unethical behavior in anyone else. They covered for Hastert. I suppose it was a reward for his trying to cover for Foley. Later Hastert the B*****d had the unmitigated gall to compare himself to Harry Truman. He would not make a festered pimple on Truman’s dead butt.
