57 DEMS SELLOUT TO REPUGS ON
WIRETAPS AND SURVEILLANCE.

Are you surprised? Shouldn't be, it was pre-
dictable. And our ever alert Repugs knew
the lack of gumption of the Dems was on
their side.

They already have a new ploy that went
into effect today: They will promote the
idea the Congress, with its Democratic
majority and agenda, didn't have such a
bad session so far this year. In reality, the
Repugs are joyous Bush made mince meat
of Dems on the illegal Iraq war, notwith-
standing Bush has the credibility of a gnat.
Also they backed down like beaten curs as
soon as Bush threatened no August recess,
if they didn't give him what he wanted on
the wiretap and surveillance bill. Bush
added insult to injury by inserting Alberto
Gonzalez as the "decider" (with McConnell)
on all wiretaps and surveillance. Of the 3
amigos (Cheney,Bush and Gonzo) Al may
have the least crediibility of all. And that
may really be scraping the barrels bottom.

Also nothing was done to reign in the big
corporations who are giving our jobs and
our manufacturing to yonder lands. Then
there is insurance, health, infrastructure.
Nothing. No wonder Bill Sammons on Fox
News didn't blast the Dems, these items are
the Repugs life blood. Bill sees a lot more
buckling under and so do I.

If the Repugs were the controling party and
were setting the agenda they could not have
done better and probably not as well.

Bye, bye Nancy, Harry, Democrats. Have a
nice vacation.

Archer Daniels Midland, one of our lands
giants in the agriculture biz, brags about
being "Resourceful By Nature." Don't try
to understand that slogan, its just words
that mean nothing, but sounds knowledge-
able. No-one in the ad agency or corporat-
ion can tell us what it is supposed to indi-
cate, which is why they think it sounds so
knowledgeable.

What they should have dreamed up was
"Resourceful By Government Subsidies."
That would be so much more enlightened
and everyone would have understood.

You've read about the new farm bill that is
costing about 280 billion for the 2007-08
fiscal year? Our friends at "Resourceful by
Nature" will pick up a couple of billion
from that load. Much is allegedly going for
research of corn being turned into ethanol.
That supposedly will get us off our oil binge.

Have you read that over half the cars in Bra-
zil run on ethanol made from sugar. AND it
is costing Brazilians almost half the price our
buddies at ADM are projecting for their tater
product. Their research is done. It is success-
ful. They've reduced oil consumption, people
are paying much less, Brazil is open to re-
search exchamge. What in God's name has
become of our smarts? Are our pols so weak,
so owned by the corporations that they can't
use their common sense or are the three
branches of government just of, by and for
the corporations?

Yell, scream, write, phone. Don't let our pre-
cious land go down the tubes without a whim-
per. Do something, anything, fight for America.
