THE BABBLER

Just read a column by Wild Bill Rusher
where-in he advocates bombing Iran. No
word on whether he wants to use our 1000
lb toys or just Enola Gay it with a single
plane and a single H bomb. His perennial
threats, accusations & glaring mis-state-
ments are there for God & man to chuckle
at.Most of his messages are variations of
his rantings (2007 style) of his rantings
(2003 style) of the do or die Iraq invasion.
Babbler offers no proof for his fear mong-
ering.

Bill Babbler adds a new tale that rivals any-
thing Harry Potter says or does and it adds
to his over-the-top moronic status. He tells
us when and if Iran attains nuclear
power it will trigger the same capability for
Egypt, Jordan, Arabia and "a dozen other
regimes in Asia, Africa & So. America will
follow suit." I guess the data, the equip-
ment, the money, the academicians and the
technical personell will be hanging on street
corners waiting to be picked up to make the
bombs. "Hey, come out of that tree. We go
home. Make bomb." "Aaaa. Dah. Cigaretto?"

Following on that brilliance Babbler Bill
warns IF in such a world a nuclear bomb is
smuggled into the US and IF it is detonated
how would we know If it came from Africa,
Asia or where-ever. There are more IFs in
that scenario than there are in Kipling's
poem.

But, hey, the Babbler is one smart guy.

Two things Babbler forgot. He doesn't men-
tion Iran is not Iraq. They will retaliate and
we have 160,000 American troops and 80,
000 contractors on their doorstep. Even a
clown with no military know-how would
have to think Iran's current weaponry is a
cause for thought.

Second. Iran is a signator of the UN's IAEA
and has a perfect right to pursue nuclear
power for electricity & other non-violent
domestic uses. Bill forgot to tell us this.

Lastly, Babbler Bill ends his laudation for
the bombing of Iran by letting his funde-
mentalist followers know God is on their
side. He quotes a couplet from Emerson
which seems to indicate God approves.
Without using the phrase "Bring 'em on"
that was the thought we were left with.

I didn't know God & Emerson exchanged
warrior thoughts. I'll check my Ralph
Waldo and get back to you.

VOTING IS SO DAMNED IMPORTANT

Senator Diane Feinstein, (D. Ca.) is writing
an election bill that will require a paper trail
in all voting machines. It is clearly an imp-
ortant program that merits bi-partisan
support. If The Dick Cheney allows the elec-
tion to take place, that is. The way The Dick
kicks the Constitution around how can we
stop him if he declares a national security
emergency and "postpones" the 2008
election? You know, the war, code red, an
emergency, Al Qaida will make Ghengis
Kahn look like a sissy by next year.Same
old crapola and remember lies work

Most of us would like to see more voters at
the polls on election days so here is a fool-
proof way to raise the number 10 to 15 %
in 2008. Move the voting days to Sat. and
Sunday instead of having it on Tuesdays.
The pols don't like the idea 'cause they de-
pend on their base and moving it to the
week-end would bring many non-affiliated
voters to the polls. This is particularly true
in the primaries. Week-end voting is an old,
but good idea that can't get anywhere be-
cause of the second rate legislatures WE'RE
affiliated with.

LAUGH OF THE WEEK DEPARTMENT

Fony Tony Blair, now a Peace envoy, is
going to Portugal for a meeting with the
Middle East "Quartet". Can you imagine
the gall of appointing Fony Tony as envoy
to an international peace conference? Do
you think The Dick Cheney had any input
in the selection? After all Fony Tony was
a The Dick Cheney crime family lap dog
for over 5 years.

Fony Tony's peace magic is going to be put
to use with Iran, Arabia, Palestine, Turkey
and, of course, the Kurds, Shiites & Sunnis.
All of whom know he is a Fony Tony. God
help us.

My biggest gripe with Fony Tony is the re-
diculous selling job that was foisted on us;
that he had the brain power to influence
dopiest, lyingist prexy in U.S. history. He
became a Mortimer Snerd for Bushs'
Charlie McCarthy. Edgar Bergen, of
course, was pulling all the strings and he
was played by the bubbley & effervescent
THE DICK CHENEY.

WHO ARE YOUR CHOICES IN THE
08 ELECTIONS AND IN CABINET
POSITIONS?

There are major changes in SJ's selections
for a democratic administration in 2009.
Previous picks of Feingold for pres. and Lee
for VP are cooked. Russ opted out of the
race and Barbara shows no signs of getting
into it. Rumor has it Katrina Vanden Heuvel
would take a cabinet post so she is the nom-
inee for EPA administrator. She'll need the
strength of 10 to rectify what has happened
to the department under Toady Johnson.
He has one success to crow about. When
Bush/Cheney said toad this guy leaped.
Choices as of today:
President: Denny Kucinich
Vice Pres: Joe Biden
Defense Sec: Larry Korb
Sec. State: Bill Clinton
Atty. Gen: Liz Holzman
Press Sec: Cynthia Tucker
EPA: Katie Vanden Heuvel
Homeland Sec: Gary Hart
Nat'l Security: Dick Clark
Critique these choices, tell me yours.

PUNDITS, SAVANTS AND FOX NEWS

Ever watch Fox News anchored by Brit Shit
Hume? Lots of souls do it for laughs and
two or three do it for the "news." A segment
called the Fox All Stars closes the nightly
feigned news hour. The All Stars consist of
Barnes, Kondracke and Krauthammer. Mz.
Liason appears regularly, but she cannot
be classified with the aforementioned trio.
She reasons. They gibber.

Mort Kondracke stumbles & bumbles thru
his dissertations with a finesse that makes
W seem coherent. Jolly Cholly Krautham-
mer was told somewhere along the way he
had a big brain. Jolly Cholly, they were kid-
ding you. You're a perennial bench warmer.

But Fred BeetleBrainBarnes is in a class by
himself in that he abuses the privilege of
being stupid. If it wasn't for the White
House emails, faxes and talking points
they send out this gink would be stuck
for a reply to "hello."

Two quick examples of recent gems
BeetleBrainBarnes are: "---no-one ever
heard of Al Qaida before 9-11." He
should have said HE never heard of Al
Qaida before 9-11.There are hundreds
of references to Bin Laden & his group
before 9-11, but BeetleBrain you must
read them. Looking at comic books
doesn't get it. And find the public li-
brary (they loan books) and read Dick
Clark's book "Against All Enemies." It
has many, many attributions to Al
Qaida & Osama in the Clinton years .

The other recent example of this pun-
dits brilliance is his description of
Senators Warner, Voinivich, Lugar
and Domenici as "a few weak Sena
tors". Calling those four men "weak"
indicates what a buffoon Beetle-
BrainBarnes truly is. Whether one
likes or dislikes them they cannot be
thrown into such a category. That is
unless you work for the Weakly
Standard where those kind of idiocies
are nutured.

In any event, it has been declared Fred
BeetleBrainBarnes is the asshole of the
month for July, '07. It may be a tweak
early, but he is such a consistent fool
no-one has even a remote chance of
outdoing him.

OLD STORY, NEW PLAYERS

In order to fake a start of who began World
War 2 the Nazi Colonel, Otto Skorzeny, en-
gineer turned soldier of fortune, set up a
"raid" of Polish commandos invading Ger-
many who, naturally, had to defend itself.

Think the Tonkin Gulf in the 60's and LBJ.
Think the Indian wars in the 1800's.

In 2002 and 2003 the story was fine tuned
by Bush, The Dick Cheney, Condi Mush-
room Cloud and a coterie of fierce coat-
holding neocons. Gist of the story was
Saddam had the bomb and was going to
use it on us. Scared hell out of some guys
so to protect ourselves we invaded Iraq.

This past weekend the TV channel CNN
became a potent tool of the Bush Crime
Family in preparing the country for the
imminent bombing of Iran. The station
pounded the air waves with accusations
galore, but not a shred of proof. Sunday
they did repeats of Saturdays charges.
The Bush and The Dick crowd even op-
ened the coffin and let that old vampire,
Kissinger, out to say a few lines about our
obligation to continue the fighting.

If we attack Iran no American doubts Iran
will be pulverized. However they are ready
for this and they will retaliate. Secondly,
who else will come in? Turkey & the Kurds?
Russia? They are closer than 6 is to 7 with
Iran. What will Israel, Syria, Hezbollah,
& Saudi do? How about the Muslims of Pak-
istan? Mushareff may not last a week. And
do not forget Afghanistan with 18,000
American soldiers there.

America cannot sustain a multi country
war. Ask David Walker, American Comp-
troller General.

America is being led by a non reading,
non reasoning duet who are being ad-
vised by the very same neo-cons that
sucked us into Iraq and whose primal
loyalties (to the US) are most definitely
suspect.

MISSING MOLLY

I often think of Molly and what she might
say about the current this or that.

Not maudlin, not schmaltzy. Just missing
her wit, her reasoning.

Wouldn't it have been fun to read her take
on the crapola of Paris and Brittany? Can
you imagine what she could have done to
the '07 plottings of Joe Lieberman and his
Repug puppeteers? And the ripping she
would have given the justification of
Scooters' commutation.

She lightened our load.

A MOMENT FOR A FEW CONCISE OBSERVATIONS

Jolly Cholly Krautheimer said on Fox All
Stars (ugh, ssss, boo boo,ugh) that Colin
Powell's U.N. presentation was all about
WMD's being in the hands of Saddam and
Saddam being in the hands of Al Qaida. In
checking the veracity of Jolly Cholly's
statement I flew to Darfur and asked nine
starving children if they knew Saddam was
in the hands of Qaida. They laughed as
they told me Jolly Cholly lied as is his
want, there was no Qaida in Iraq under
Saddam and everyone knows that.

Gosh, how dismaying. Jolly Cholly lying
on that bastion of truth Fox News.
********

SJ made a couple of comments on Bill
Mahers' and Jeralyn Merrits columns
on Huff Po re Scooters no jail time.
To Bill: "--- can you name 1 person who
did not know Scooter was NOT going to
jail? Why all the fuss? The Bush/Cheney
tag team are destroying this constitutional
republic. That's what we should be fussing
about."
To Jeralyn: "Good analysis. Sound logic.
All for naught. We both knew Scooter was
not going to do time in the can. He knows
where most of the skeletons are hanging."

Marie Cocco wrote in Newsday in the 90's
that Nuke "Gingrich hypocracies are
astonishing". The Chief disagrees. She
thinks Nukes lies are super astonishing.
His latest whopper was his barefaced dec-
laration that Mohammed Atta, of 9-11
fame, was in this country illegally. Such
a stupid lie. So easy to check. And it has
been written about so often it is an acc-
epted fact among the Eskimos in both the
North & South Poles. Liar and hypocrite,
Nuke, is going to run for the Repug nom-
ination for president in Sept.or Oct. Boy,
wouldn't it be wonderful if he got it. His
constituency consists of hard right corp-
orate elitists, then stop, that's it.

He Who Has Gets Department.
Health Care, Inc. just invited Jeb Bush to
a seat on their Board Of Directors. Know
what he'll be paid for every day he plants
his posterior at a board meeting? $37,000.
It is important the every day workers of
Health Care, Inc. understand what I've
said. Most of them don't make that much
yearly. The article that put this out also
one lined that the company settled a Gov-
ernment suit for billion or so. I phoned &
Googled and searched for confirmation or
denial, but all I could get was they have
600 offices and are doing more than Bill
and Melinda for the ailing. If anyone can
help with data it would be much appreci-
ated. One thing fits here: The Jebster Bush
is the closest rival to The Dick Cheney se-
crecy tangent you will find this year. He
has to go into a vault to let you know how
the Yankees and Red Sox are doing.
