The Day; January 20

Can we survive 4.5 days? It'd be just like President G.W. Bush to pull some major invasion or OK an Israeli airstrike on Iran minutes before he steps down. I know the type. History will judge Bush, but not the way he wants. The man is a public menace and will go down in history as such.

Start getting ready to reject Jeb Bush. He waiting for his turn to make his own mess. How did our nation become the Bushes private playground?

Illinois Governor Silliness

I'm supposed to believe there's nothing anyone can legally do to remove Hot Rod Blagojevich. The man was indicted. While that's not a conviction, it means something in the real world. It is time for politicians to have the "rule of law" applied to them with the same zeal and ruthlessness with which the politicians apply that "rule of law" to the general citizenry. Do we have a representative democracy in the US or some version of an aristocracy?

Snapshot of Subprime Scam; Nobody's in Jail Yet

Here's a Wall Street Journal story that gives some insight on just how crooked the scams were that created the current credit crisis. That woman makes more on disability and welfare than a lot of people working their butts off make. As I've said many times before, someone needs to go to jail, soon. And, no more bailouts.

US Government; Negative Similarities to the British of Revolutionary War Era

It's easy enough to trace the endless fees, taxes, surcharges, doubletalk and degradation of individual rights, all supposedly for the public good. Every oppressive government has always claimed to represent the public good and a kind god. What reveals the truth or lie of that claim is how many citizens are in prison or prosecuted by government, and for what charge. A felony conviction is extremely easy to experience in the current US system of injustice. That should tell us something. It does.

Illinois Governor AND His Chief of Staff Indicted; Big Time

Check out the CNBC article for details. This is exactly what I was writing about in a recent article. Our society rejects the biker who loves the open road or the brothel worker making a living, but society praises these scrubbed-downed, staged productions that represent "normalcy", which are the first guys to trust the least. At least the people on the street are for real, and not posers.

Charges are conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. That's serious stuff. They must have gotten greedy and asked for too much so the other crooked bastards of US "normalcy" decided to prosecute them. I wonder who gets the final bribe for Obama's seat?
