Contagious Courage


Republican Life Forms From The Planet “IT WASN’T ME”

They’re all cut from the same cloth –  Bush, Tenet, Wolfowitz, Gonzales, Rice, Rumsfeld, Rove, Cheney.  You have to wonder if there hasn’t been an invasion from outer space – maybe from the newly discovered planet.  One after the other these nefarious creatures have arrived to destroy and then assimilate into the human race.  Tenet is the latest example.  

The Bush White House has produced one hypocrite after another, all shaping apologies into a low-life art form.  “I was new at my job,”a la Wolfowitz apparently still works in some circles for people over fifty.  “I can’t remember” said over and over would embarrass someone who actually couldn’t, but it’s fine for the U.S. Attorney General.  Others in their camp are historical revisionists – all with books and millions of dollars in advances.

Wiggle room in Washington D.C. is cavernous.  Egregious errors are “missteps” and “misjudgments” brought on by unforeseeable circumstances.

The only way to deal with this kind of deception and cowardice is standing up to it, collectively, as the Democrats are starting to do. 



See Announcement below of L.A. conference -- Women Lead.  A few more days left.

    Something's wrong here and it sounds like something else is missing...like this: There's nothing that can be done regarding an effective way of dealing with this kind of deception and cowardice. The guys you mentioned own the shop. They have the keys. They have the police. Ditto investigators and in a back room somewhere sits the Grand Inquisitor carefully preparing more lies but actually he's counting all the Dems he owns, that he has in his back pocket. It's hardball politics like in the old South or in Texas back when Sam Houston used to dress up like an Indian and attack and kill a political opponent during a wind storm in the late night. These people are willing to go to the wall with you, me, anyone but especially the Democrats also the known cowardly link that seals all our fates. If we but had one group of honest men who had the strength to at least try to turn our moral and ethical collapse around we might have a chance...but only a small one. The trouble with all the rest of us is that we're dead already. Our relatives just haven't buried us yet. Maybe another lifetime. Perhaps reincarnation will bring certain of us back in a superior form. Personally, I want to be able to change form at will but to always be able to fly away when the crazies like Bush, Tenet, Wolfowitz, Gonzales, Rice, Rumsfeld, Rove, Cheney and Powell come out and begin their seizure of my  habitat. You're right--we're all endangered now!
