Mr: Kerry:
Please quit pandering to the rabble. Quit making promises that will be impossible to keep. Tell them the truth. We are in deep doo-doo. We are spread too thin. We cannot get out of Iraq until the mess is cleaned up. We need more, not less, troops there. The so called allies are not going to help us. It is not their war, it's our war. We alone started it. We also need enough troops in Afghanistan to do the job. We have to get not only Ben Laden, but all of the crazies over there. We need to mobilize for that. We will not get enough volunteers. We will need a draft.

Do an FDR. Tell them times are tough and they have to step up to the bar. They have to tighten their belts. We are at war and it's going to be a long haul. We are not going to make the world safe for democracy through rhetoric and we are not going to do it overnight. We will not be able to cut taxes, we will have to raise taxes.

Out economy needs to come out of the toilet so we can build the stuff needed for this war on terrorism. People will go to work as soon as we mobilize for that. There will be jobs, but that is coincidental. The real issue is saving democracy from madmen. This is not a short term thing. The rabble must be told and made to realize we really do have a dedicated enemy who is trying to destroy us. It is not an inconvenience. It is a deadly serious war.

Quit pandering and try being a leader for Gord's sake! Don't make offers, make demands. Tell the rabble to quit whining and get off the dime. Tell them to stop looking for what they can grab and start looking for ways to serve. Rights are not guaranteed, they grow out of responsibility. The rabble have a choice to make. They can help to solve the problems or they can forfeit and be the problem. They already know this. It is really up to them, but you must tell them the truth, lest they deny it. If you don't tell them, they will think you are a con man just like George. Are you?

The News Reports:
I remember this same thing from the Korean war. We got reports of body counts and it sure looked like we were winning. Looking at the numbers one could conclude that the war was almost over. Soon there would be no North Koreans of Chinese left. It was bullcrap then and it's bullcrap now. When, oh when are we going to see the field commander's reports for what they are. They are the typical exaggerated claims of managers trying to look good.

Michael Moore:
He is bad news. The Democrats should emphatically disavow him. He is not helping the party or the democratic cause. He is hurting them with thoughtful people. He is not helping anything except his own pocketbook.

Only in Michigan?
A media report told us a fellow confessed when his house burned down and he was rescued. He had set his house on fire because he was tired of living. He was trying to kill himself in the fire. He almost succeeded, but he was rescued by a dedicated rescue team. We can probably agree this guy is very sick and ought to be taken to a hospital for loony evaluation. Not in Michigan. They threw him in the slammer on a charge of arson.

Defense:
Snappy salute! Reporting for duty? I defended this country as a young man and I will defend it as an old man. Duh!

Knee Jerks:
There are millions of people in this country who pretend to be independents who are just embarrassed to admit they are knee jerk republicans or democrats. They will search the ballot to find some obscure post like dog catcher or drain commissioner. They will then vote the opposite party for that post so they can claim they voted a split ticket. These people will also always claim to be undecided in the polls.

Florida:
The situation there is one where the United States Emergency Response Service (USERS) would necessarily be used. This is a civil response service defined in the Gaffer's Philosophy essays on a Universal Draft. Check them out.

Family Fun:
The media shows us a conspiracy between the Kintercare day care centers, Family Fun magazine, and the toy makers to exploit children for the purpose of evaluation and marketing toys. The kids think they are playing. How could they know they are being used? Of course the media presented this as a great thing. They gushed over the concept. The parents of the kids thing it's great too. Yippee!

Election Reform:
This is about voting machines. Congress is being criticized for not funding this so called reform. It's all nonsense. What they should be criticized for is not seeing the scam. They should be criticized for not telling the states and cities to pay for their own machines. There are millions of bucks supposed to pay for modern electronic voting machines. Why doesn't someone take a look at these machines? They are nothing more than a $100 scanned coupled with a $300 computer. They should not cost any more than $1000 each. That is well within the reach of all communities. If the companies that make and market these things are getting more that 1 grand each, it is a scam. That's all.

Ophra:
She was a juror. After the trial she invited her fellow jurors to appear on her show. Mrs' Gaffer says that is wrong. I agree. What in the hades is going on. Jurors should be under a gag order for all time concerning the deliberations in the jury room. There is no way a juror should ever be allowed to talk about a trial at all. A violation should bring a conviction of contempt of court with severe penalties.

Last Chance:
The rulers of Iraq (wink, wink nod, nod) gave Al Sadr another last chance to lay down his arms and leave Najaf. He declined. Not to worry. They will give him another last chance in a couple of days. I get these final last chance opportunities in the mail all the time. Citicards sends me at least one a week. Credible, very credible!
