The Stuff of Nonsense

The exposure of this cover-up reveals again how the under republican tenure the very administrations which were created to protect the public were turned up side down and into entities that protected the very business interests that they were to oversee. Only one group benefited from the suppression of the knowledge that 250,000 people were injured and 950 killed by cell phone  distraction suggesting not only  a ban on hands-on cell usage nut on all cell and cell-like usage across the US.

The cell phone lobby donated approximately $35,000,000 per year to Congressional candidates.

There’s no mystery here.

I find an ironic laugh pouring forth when I hear some reporter in his most sanctimonious voice say that the government of Iran dealt with protesters in the way they usually do: with violence.

I laugh because indelibly in my mind are images of U.S. citizens protesting on American soil, in American cities being beaten bloody with the clubs of police.

And then there’s Kent State. We even have a song about it. Four dead in Ohio…

I guess it’s it’s easy to be sanctimonious when we forget our immediate past.

The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States

Yes, right wing propagandist and FOX Military Analyst Michael Scheur invites Osama Ben Laden to blow up an American city.

But wait, there’s more! Perennial cockroach Newt Gingrich said

they [Bush administration] should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us". (April, 2008)

"One month from The Anniversary, I'm thinking another 9/11 would help America,"

laments Stu Bykofsky in his Philadelphia Daily News column.

"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001]," (June, 2007)

There you have it. In their own words!

Republicans are so power mad they are willing, even wanting, to kill Americans to get back a taste of that for which they thrive.

 Al Franken entitled to Senate seat, Minnesota Supreme Court rules - Lynn Sweet

Washington, DC--Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today:
"I congratulate Senator-elect Al Franken, the next Senator from the state of Minnesota.

"The people of Minnesota will now finally get the brilliant and hardworking new senator they elected in November and the full representation they deserve. After all the votes have been counted and recounted, the Minnesota Supreme Court has made the final determination that Minnesotans have chosen Al Franken to help their state and our country get back on track.

"The Senate looks forward to welcoming Senator-elect Franken as soon as possible. He will play a crucial role as we work to strengthen our economy, ensure all Americans can access and afford quality health care, make our country more energy independent, confirm the President's outstanding nominee to the Supreme Court, and tackle the many other challenges we face.

"I once again encourage Governor Pawlenty to respect the votes of his constituents and the decisions of his state's highest court. He should put politics aside, follow his state's laws and finally sign the certificate that will bring this episode to an end."

Economists (witch doctors of dubious veracity in my opinion) and republicans are always harping on supply and demand to justify greed based pricing, but if we are to believe that low supply means high prices and high supply means low prices then you must argue that media piracy is just following the natural rules of capitalism.

It costs me nothing to store the latest crap movie with Julia Roberts on my disks and to share it. It costs others nothing to do the same. Therefore an infinite number of zero cost copies are possible. Supply and Demand says then that all copies should be free because the supply is endless like air or sunshine.
