"You are only as 'good' as you were yesterday, so you had better try harder today",that's why I am the one in the BACK, muttering 'abandon all hope ye who enter here'. So, look BACK!!!
But there's lots more about me; I just can't find it. And no, I don't mean furniture and beer glasses
Forgive me for inserting an opinion at times, consider such intrusions, mere, malleable conclusions, subject to change. And I've changed many, but not though whimsy, fear, or in pursuit of power or cash, the sock stuffing of the truly, often unknowingly, impotent and deluded.

Please. Send me 200,000 or up. I'll do the rest.
Or just adopt me. Before I need to burn my copy of Walden's Pond during the next cold winter.
Yes, the Mosquito was a famous wooden plane design of WW2, and very, very fast, along with Lancaster designed bombers, but the main section of Bornrich involves just that, a silver spoon for your caviar needs before you have teeth in your mouth.

Some funny patriots. Considering the Samuel Johnson quote 'Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel'.
Feel free to fill in the huge empty spaces easily filled by examining the careers of many career politicos, lobbyist, biz leaders, and Old Wealth.

All governments in free societies need to be held STRICTLY accountable. A person temporarily filling high government office has no privilege to assume certain rights to decide policy hidden from the public. His intellect is not suddenly superior to the population who hold no official office. His judgment, without advice and scrutiny is not superior to the citizens of a free nation. And his actions should not be subject to the 'national security' get-out-of-jail-free common whining due to his position without as much information as possible made public to the public.
Also, with thousands, or millions, of citizens effected by political decisions and deceptions, the penalties for abuse of power should be more extreme than any pronounce for a criminal in our courts.
"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government" -- Edward Abbey
That is the first rule of patriotism. Not fries and flags on cars and acceptance of government statements on what patriotism must accomplish, or what values and rights patriots must give up, it's holding the lawmakers and their allies accountable for abuses, crimes, and deception.

Irony. So sweet for some. Especially all of us contributing to this blog.
That means: Biggest Liars Observation Group. We watch our friends, relatives, and fellow citizens get ripped off, stripped of rights guaranteed by constitution and bill of rights, and suckered by second rate minds with inexhaustible wealth.
The 1% owning the over 80% of the U.S.
Even ancient monarchies took less. That includes dictatorships.

Money spent for Iraq business. Some went where it should have, all where intended, and let's hope the VA hospitals have been cleaned up to the level of some free clinics since the independent reports a year or two ago of the horrendous care and conditions for 'our boys' provided by our Patriotic leadership in all levels of government.

Welcome to Stalingrad, comrade. Your commissars in D.C. passed a law rivaling the ancient commie threat. Seems the U.S. is the evil empire now.
But this time, no threat. Surprise, even your local cop and telephone employee can now listen in, anytime, anywhere. It's easy to do if you know which program to use on most MS equipped machines secure only against OUTSIDE influences.
Anybody working at Sprint, ATT, local cops, can put in a number and have some fun.
And nobody is tracking this with anything other than statistics. No warnings, no red flags, no take off your shoes todays color of alert is orange.
And even if a supervisor notes extensive listening in on a certain number, you are immune from prosecution, and if you lose your job, you have a great lawsuit for unfair dismissal.
And if nobody complains, now, this week no later, start using carrier pigeons, don't cheat in the love game, don't place a bet, don't do anything on the phone or online.
Don't spout poetry to one you love, they'll be laughing at it in some telecom company or police station break room.
Many people and local organisations we know having been informed concerning such matters, ignored them. Lately the gurantee of more such abuses, and the systematic removal of democratic rights, did nothing, as TRUE patriots do, to protect this nation, their families, and democracy. As long as they have cable TV, and still have a home (that's soon to be ancient history for many), all is well. But lets protect democracy in Iraq.
Actually, our citizenry did quite a bit. To place themselves in such uncompromising positions, positions which contortionists would envy, if not for the external devices being inserted in remote areas.
Take Action: Tell Senate to Reject Unconstitutional FISA Bill
Tell your senators you demand accountability, not immunity!
In the ongoing fight over FISA, privacy and the rule of law are again on the line. That was the case yesterday when the House of Representatives caved and overwhelmingly passed a bill that creates loopholes for Bush to engage in unchecked spying on Americans and cuts off lawsuits against telecom companies that broke the law.
There's a deeply disturbing premise behind this dangerous FISA legislation: The president simply has to claim his request was legal for immunity to be granted to telecom companies that illegally handed over personal information to the government.
No matter how illegal, offensive or intrusive a company's invasion of your privacy has been, it won't make a difference if this legislation passes because if the president gave the company a note claiming their behavior was legal, they're completely off the hook.
Throughout the extended FISA debate, you and the ACLU have worked tirelessly to protect personal privacy and the rule of law. Together, we've given the Bush administration a run for their money, stopping a number of freedom-stealing proposals. The Senate is expected to be vote on the bill early next week. Don't let your senators cave in now.
>> Take action: Tell your senators to stand up for your privacy.

VERY IMPORTANT BILL BEING VOTED ON IN CONGRESS. IGNORE THE ACLU TITLE, this has no affiliation save with Americans. Free Americans. Don't confuse this letter, just a handy form for you to fill in to send your opinion to Washington, with any organization. They just provided a form letter, and some info we need.
Didn't hear this on the news? Vote is in a few days.
Let your friendly, never-overbilling, phone companies record any conversation anytime, anywhere without need of permission.
Permission, not a court order showing cause to be able to wiretap or just listen from LEC's (main switches and all individual lines to and from peoples homes), permission from unknown anybody, a mgr at a phone company, Joe the lineman down the block who loves racy video, Harry from Sprint who suspects his girlfriend of cheating, all these guys can hear what you say, and see who you call and called you.
And it looks like now it will pass hands down. So, call, write, your politcal representative NOW.
No joke. We have no political affiliations, just to the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, and the proper employment and treatment of our members of the Armed Forces.
All else can kiss our ass. This is not a joke.

Surprise, surprise. Now you know what we are doing in Iraq.
After keeping some supporters of the war in support mode, and gaining business leaders whose bottom lines are being slaughtered by the huge and fast rise in energy costs, and with the elections initially over with the parties lined up for 'battle', reveal the move back into Iraq of Big Oil.
This keeps us in Iraq permanently, even when we bring back most of the troops. After all, we have almost completed the largest embassy in the world in Iraq, rivaling Vatican City, so somebody has to stay in it.
And the pissed off public concerning the huge increase in energy related costs doesn't care about war, or having been suckered, they want lower prices.
A brilliant PR move. Curiously, huge crude price increases, sudden major oil shortages after years of military burning of fuel for fleets of ships and planes , and geared up energy draining weapons production, all these events materialize while world laughs, and the U.S. population wants out. The voters are against Iraq occupation more than any other unpopular (unauthorized by the people, but who cares) policy in U.S. history.
Yet we don't have any gas lines at the pumps, and production by the foreign oil powers hasn't really dropped.
So, why such price increases. You'll get some wild answers, but no truths, in the coming months.
That's the Cliff Notes version, and safe to print.

And if you have the money, and the sense to ignore your morals and compassionate twangs and guilt, here's the investment advice of the century.
Buy options on properties, especially business zones, in major U.S. cities which can be devastated if their levees don't hold.
Forget foreclosures.
Hey, everybody who needs not to work for a living is doing it; this could mean (for them) another one or two vacation hopes, new Gulfstream Jet, and a new business venture for pennies on the dollar, which will be passed down their generations.
Dynasties never die, they rarely increase in number, but only confiscation similar to the Rico Act statutes end their days.
Not their nights.
