Lizzie, Re: Powell knows how to negotiate for one thing. You got that right. This ultimate brown-noser knows perfectly how to negotiate for his own greedy self-interest no matter who he sells out in order to achieve that one dishonorable goal. ************* Re: “THE U.S. budget is out of control,” This is a cynical effort by the Republican leadership to destroy the finances of the U.S. government in order to create a financial crisis, the likes of which the civilized world hasn't seen since the bad old days of the Mississippi and South Seas Bubbles. This is strictly intentional. The gross and misanthropic Repuglicans want to create a new feudalism and destroy the middle class in America. The best way to engage in this abusive class warfare is to destroy the social programs that have created the greatest nation this planet has ever seen. The Republicans want to transform the formerly great United States of America into an ugly, inequitable and fascistic oligopoly based on greed and militarism. It's the ugliest possible future that can be imagined. The Republicans should be ashamed of themselves.

Lizzie, Sometimes I miss living in the Bay Area. But the electonic frontier makes it possible for me to keep up with some of the wilder elements of the local media. I've been enjoying the outrageous rants of Mark Morford of the SF Gate for a while. Here's a snippet from his "The Morning Fix", a publication that the GOP would rather not see........ Dubya, Like A Wanker In The Head sfgate.com Tens of thousands demonstrators marched through the heart of London on Thursday, toppling a 17-foot tall papier mache statue of Bush to show their anger for the Iraq war and Prime Minister Tony Blair's support of the invasion. Bush and Blair vowed "not to flinch or give way or concede one inch" to terrorism in the wake of deadly bombings against British targets in Turkey, proving that they are, of course, complete morons, and ignoring the fun fact that it was pretty much the needless and bloody war on Iraq which prompted the goddamn Turkish bombings in the first place. "I am terribly sorry, but savage indisputable life-crushing hypocrisy is well beyond us, lads," Blair muttered, as Bush stood off to the side, blinking in the bright lights and looking around all confused and baffled, as if he'd just figured out how Velcro works. "Wow, you Brits speak English too? That is so amazin'," Bush muttered. "I thought all you Europeen people spoke, you know, Europeen.'" He then drifted into a reverie featuring Jell-O shooters, giant dustballs, and a long, beautiful, meditative line of barb-wire fenceposts in a Texas oil field. "Run off and bring daddy some crumpets," mumbled Blair, to the wall. *********** ===== The Morning Fix ===== November 24, 2003 -- William F.
