08/31/04 Is the man bonkers? Bush goes on NBC's Matt Lauer NBC-TV's Today program and says when asked "Can we win it?" (the war on terror) "I don't think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that they, those who use terror as a tool, are less acceptable in parts of the world." Does he not know that the whole of the Republican Convention is the theme 'Win the war on terror'. Later in the day he goes before the American Legion and says, "We meet today in a time of war for our country, a war we did not start yet one that we will win. We will win the war on terror." Is he taking to many drugs? Is it he gets confused between all the many lies and the truth? Is it that he forgot the message they gave him? The editors of the major media must be tearing their hair out trying to make this guy look good.

08/30/04 How brave is Bush Jr? A former Senator name of Max Cleland who lost 3 limbs in the Viet Nam War, wheel-chaired up to the gate at Bush's Crawford Ranch and tried to deliver a letter to the prez, signed by he, and some six or nine other Senators or Senator vets, asking that Bush denounce political advertisements questioning Mr. Kerry's war record. Either the gate guards wouldn't accept the letter or Bush sent out a delegate depending on the version, but regardless of whether it was a political ploy or sincere, you would think that when an ex-senator comes to the door, one would have enough courtesy to greet the visitor. Courtesy aside — how cowardly can you get, when Bush cannot go to the door and meet face to face, an ex-senator with three limbs amputated.

08/27/04 Truth is — most people can't tell the truth from the not-truth. Actually for readers, of say Tolstoy, or going even way back, Lady Murasaki, one may recognize that not much is different between now and then, in so far as the social and class relationships and accordant behaviors — only the technology and styles change. This could be called archetypal truth that underlies the constantly changing superficiality of the progressive consciousness. Perhaps in order to be able to distinguish the truth from all the lying, propaganda, hype, distortion and promotion, one has to learn the underlying fundamental character of the human condition and human nature, and then one may have a pretty good idea generally, of what the true story is and sometimes what happens before it happens.

08/25/04 Thought Bush was the dimmest bulb to ever get screwed into a light socket, but that may have been premature. There is this governor of California who — a pretty-man all his life — bicep mirror vanity, attends a fund raiser for himself about 6 months ago, where Joe and Gavin Maloof of Maloof Sports and Entertainment collect more than a million bucks for him. Course he doesn't believe in this sort of thing, and then Mr. muscle, Mr. Universe and terminator was forced - forced to sign a casino deal for 5,000 slot machines across the bay from San Francisco, since reduced to 2500. Course he doesn't believe in urban casinos. He then says he didn't know the Maloof brothers were the same people who would be managing the casino that he approved, with no other competition within 35 miles, cause he doesn't believe in urban gambling. Now that is dim, on a par with Chauncey Gardiner, of the movie 'Being There'. You can't get much dumber than that, but don't bet on it.

08/23/04 Kerry went to the war. Bush ducked the war - a war dodger. There is no doubt about it. And only in America, the constant and persistent hype/tripe of do the right thing, the moralizing, the superior moral character. And what's in the news day after day after day, but Kerry's war record. The guy who did the so-called right thing is attacked week in and week out, while the guy who chickened out, ducked the war, gets off scot free, without ever a whisper. Can the Democrats run equally scurrilous ads and would the media carry those stories the way they are with the 'Snit Boat Affair'? Bush on cocaine, Bush the drunk, Bush never showing up for national guard duty, Bush with ever special treatment. Unlikely. Somehow in America, when push comes to shove, the scum floats while the high moral ground sinks in the flood.

08/19/04 What's the story and what's the hype? If newspapers may seemingly give a more in-depth analysis, than do the electronic media, or at least more words, it is often useless, because they are locked into the so-called fair and objective - two sides to every story. The truth of course is on one side, which they are often prevented from giving, because the truth would negate one or other of the angles. So we get the formula — interviews on both sides with so-called experts, while third, fourth, etc. perspectives are completely ignored, as they may tend to deny the validity of the two primary views. So what you get is a wash, as both sides cancel each other out, and it ends up essentially meaningless — talk from both sides of the mouth. If the system is corrupt in its entirety, and still everyone benefits from and is happy with the advantage, then maybe best to talk in circles, and not and not look a gift horse in the mouth — play on in good con-science.

08/16/04 New York Times and Washington Post apologize for their misrepresentations on the run up to the war. Its not like the cheaters they out, every so often for fibbing and making up stories with such anguish and gnashing of teeth. No — it's an editorial policy to promote war. No one gets fired and no one ever will. And while they pretend contrition, it costs them nothing. It is only for the perception of credibility — and they will do it all over again, in the next run up to war.

08/13/04 Olympics here again. Americans were so proud when Jessie Owens beat the Nazis in the 1936 Olympics. These days just who is who, with the US medal count seemingly the most important thing, to the point of using professionals wherever possible. Used to be, back in the day, when they actually showed Olympic sports on the US TV coverage. These days they show commercials and 'talk Olympics', 'sob and overcome all obstacles' stories and almost only American athletes, with the rest of the world sort of props for Americans to look good against, and the perpetual rah-rah America. Suppose the actual sports viewing is too boring. With NBC doing the coverage, you can bet it will most likely also be used to whip the American public into a patriotic frenzy, coinciding with the Republican Convention. Can expect also possibly a panoply of Republican politicians to be featured widely with the Bush's', Senior and Junior leading the pack. Have fun sports fans.

08/11/04 Some source was decrying the loss of Heavy Weight Boxing, from a time when most everyone knew who was the champ, but which is not true anymore. Various reasons are ascribed for the loss of interest, probably including racism. But the real reason no one knows who the heavy weight champ is anymore is because Sugar Ray Leonard, 5 time world champ in 5 different weight classes, in the interest of making tons of money, took boxing from free network TV and radio to Pay Per View — a sort of private club; no longer were the big fights carried on free radio and TV. Now a 'has-been' can stand up for no more than three rounds and make 5 or 500 million dollars, which is good for the fighters, but not good for the popularity of boxing — if indeed anyone even cares.

08/09/04 The population of wild White Rhinos in the Congo has been cut in half this last year from about 40 to about 20 by poachers, it was recently reported by the World Conservation Union. Back east there was a hunter hunting hunters. How the hunters did whine - poor babies. Ironic ain't it. Didn't so much like it when they were the hunted; something like the theme of the movie 'Deer Hunter' 1978. What is needed maybe is poachers to poach the poachers.

08/06/04 The NASCAR fans and Bush loyalists like to buy American - support American workers. Sounds like a good idea, but what they don't seem to realize is that while they are perhaps right to be loyal to the American worker, the only thing the American corporate capitalists, who employ American workers, are loyal too is money - honey. These capitalists will screw the workers every which way till Sunday. Not that these NASCAR republicans will ever get it, with their idols as race car drivers, preachers, salesmen and radio shysters. When blood was discovered to circulate through the body, not a single living doctor of the time would accept this new discovery in their lifetime.

08/04/04 Dog days of August - but wait has it been declared the beginning of 'National Security Month' - what - leading right into the Republican National Security Convention. Not much else they got going for them. Seems like Homeland Security will have to stage a terrorist attack themselves, before long just to establish some credibility. Lot of trouble for a lot of people. Is there nothing people like Ashcroft won't stoop too? It is new lows every day and only the beginning of the campaign. Hang onto your seats, it may be a long and bumpy ride.

08/02/04 Why did the US networks ABC, NBC and CBS cut coverage of the national political conventions to just 3 hours each? Probably because they believe that the Republican convention would not help Bush all the much because everyone knows who he is, but that the Democratic convention could help Kerry quite a lot. Was anyone surprised? It is not rocket science to realize that the major corporate media is not independent. Corporations who are in the business of entertainment and private profit should not be allowed to do news, opinion and politics. Their shows and products should be boycotted. Their licenses should be challenged. And in a real democracy these people would be tried for sedition against its citizens.

07/30/04 How many sports teams has one seen go into the last minutes of a championship — ahead, and then get real safe, and just try to hang onto and protect their lead, defense only — lose their momentum and lose the game. This seems the strategy that the Democrats employ every 4 years of the presidential race. Meanwhile the Republicans have no scruples, play a scorched earth policy leaving no stone unturned, and will play offensive scum with their corporate media brothers to the slimy end. The Dems play ropeadope — hanging on the ropes, absorbing savage body blows, hoping not to offend those mythical swing voters and praying the opposition will wear out before the final bell — Ding!

07/28/04 As everything American — the opposite of what is advertised — the lottery systems used in the US are not like some other countries, where the prizes are divided into as large a pool as possible, so instead of one 'million dollar winners' there is ten 'one-hundred thousand' or twenty '$50,000 winners' — or one hundred $10,000 winners. But in America the object is to give the most money to the fewest people, which is why 5% of the people have most of the wealth. The reason for these large jackpots for single individuals is because the larger the potential prize the more people play. But doubtful if it is ever considered that most people don't play, because one would have a greater chance of going to Jupiter than to win the lottery, and that by increasing the pool of winners, more people might actually be willing to play. Or maybe not, but at least it would spread the money a little. Naw.

07/26/04 Kerry the US presidential candidate, in his speeches around the country, may talk about real and complicated government policy. People who favor Kerry are capable of understanding and expect a somewhat in depth analysis. Bush campaigns around the country with pomp, ceremony, photo ops, pat phrases, ideological slogans and nothing but non-sense. He speaks to his constituency which can't understand the underlying complexities of the issues and prefers sentimental summations. And this represents the voting demographics of the coming presidential election.

07/23/04 Bush apparently signed a secret order last September authorizing retaliation for a biological attack. The order said in part - "The United States will continue to make clear that it reserves the right to respond with overwhelming force - including potentially nuclear weapons - to the use of [weapons of mass destruction] against the United States, our forces abroad, and friends and allies." Is there any country in the world that would use biological weapons against the United States? Of course not. So exactly who would Bush nuke? A terrorist group composed of one hundred people or less might do it. How exactly are they going to nuke one-hundred people or less? This is the problem with powerful technology like nukes. It doesn't seem that it can be kept out of the hands of imbeciles.

07/21/04 The US capitalist media loves a public flogging and character execution, just for the sheer entertainment, just like they used to do in Puritan America or Ole England and even today in Saudi Arabia. The Scott Peterson case is a good example of this form of public entertainment. Course the victim must be assumed guilty, otherwise it is bullying the weak and pitiful. Thus the media will always tilt to guilt to justify their exploitation, and the victim in essence must prove their innocence. Some job they did on Congressman Gary Condit without ever a charge being brought, or Clinton for that matter. Yes - these are the kind of people that burned witches, hung and beheaded people in the public squares, or promoted the Roman blood circuses.

07/19/04 The Philippines are said to be pulling their forces out of Iraq in exchange for the return of a single hostage. Of course the US is decrying this as a cave-in to hostage takers. So the question is - how many hostages, threatened with death, would it take for the US to cave to hostage takers? It wouldn't be one. They have said so. Would it be ten, a hundred, a thousand or ten thousand? What number of living humans threatened with death would it take before the US government would withdraw from Iraq? Nearly a thousand have already been killed in the fighting so we can assume it would have to be more than a thousand. The US lost eighty-five thousand in Vietnam, so should we assume it has to be more than that? Kinda nice to see a country like the Philippines that actually values a single life.

07/16/04 When the people who run the government, or any other organization for that matter consistently lie, then telling the truth soon becomes against the law. Honest liars believe what they say and think, while deviant liars don't, but lie anyway in order to promote some advantage. Honest liars believe in ideals and when the truth as fact does conform to those ideals they tend to suppress such truth like fact and reality. Of course honest liars attract deviant liars like foxes to hens. Deviant liars only have self-interest in mind and thus they recognize that they can lie with impunity around those who lie honestly, so long as their lies conform to the ideals of honest liars, who cannot recognize a deviant liar so divorced are they from reality. This is why the current administration of ideologues will go down as the most corrupt in US history. How difficult could it be to fool a comatose moron like Bush?

07/14/04 Once had a major for a company commander in the army that had sent every enlisted man in the unit, below the grade of E5 to the psychiatrists. It is not that the men were crazy. It was that the major was. The Bush administration apparently wants every K12 student in the country tested for mental health and for anyone who fails the profile, to be put on drugs. This one has got to come straight out of the drug companies sales departments. Can't imagine this thing getting very far, although just that it has made the news, been used in Texas, and has been proposed nationwide, illustrates just how crazy and greedy they are. And of course if there is anyone that is loony enough to actually mandate something like this into law, it is the US Republican congress.

07/12/04 Most everybody has heard of Celebrex a pain reliever. Celebrex reputably costs something on the order of $130 bucks a bottle. It has recently been reported by Sharon Davis of the Department of Commerce, that it costs somewheres around sixty cents to make that same bottle of Celebrex. If a television cost 25 dollars by the same mark-up — it would sell for $5,400. If it cost ten million to do the research on Celebrex — 77,000 bottles would pay for it. How long would it take to sell that much — about a week? Capitalists call it profit. Socialists call it robbery and extortion. Thus the morality of the US is essentially controlled by the Capitalists, since they also control the media.

07/09/04 Finally saw Fahrenheit 9/11. Personally didn't see anything wrong with it. Little slow towards the end maybe. Searing indictment of Bush, of whom it has always been said around here since day one, is the dumbest sum since cum. It would now seem that another deficient could be added as retarded. Criticism on the Left is - it could have been about this or that. It is what it is. Can't be about everything. Maybe these people should make their own movie. Used to walk past the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue all the time about 30 years ago. Was warm and friendly with lots of characters and atmosphere. Now if what I saw in Fahrenheit 9/11 was an accurate picture of the White House today, looks like the way it was in East and West Berlin before the Berlin Wall came down. This it seems is what it has come too.

07/08/04 "Dick Cheney can be president," Bush said briskly. Ya know these TV political analysts are living in the land of Oz when they talk about the replacement of Dick Cheney as vice president. What Bush meant to say, if he was ever capable of getting anything straight — was that Cheney is the president. What they should be talking about if they are going to talk about somebody replacing somebody is whether Dick Cheney will replace Bush Jr. in the run for president.

07/06/04 Somebody sent me a Field and Stream murder and mayhem magazine. Pictures were of the biggest fish, have to be at least 3 feet long, and if they are pan fish then there has to be a hunerd of 'em on a stringer. Everything in America is got to be the biggest and the mostest. This is because Capitalism rules, and what the whole culture amounts to is to sell and sell the biggest (more profit) and the most (more profit). Used to be that Americans decried communist propaganda never endingly, not realizing of course that they themselves are propagandized by the Capitalists from cradle to grave. What's evil for the communists ought to be evil for the Capitalists one would think. Not that bright.

07/01/04 America touts democracy to itself and the world unendingly. But like everything else it touts — it is mostly a con game by self-deluded salesman of deception. 'Do as I say and not as I do' should be the national motto. America is not a real democracy. It is a two party system which is one more than a one-party fascist state. Nearly every other democracy in the world has a multi-party system that hold seats in proportion to the percentage of the popular vote they receive. In America — only the winning candidate gets a seat. The second, third and more parties get no representation whatsoever. Thus in reality, third and more parties are absolutely useless, acting as a symbol for those disaffected with the two major parties and nothing more. In America — if any person or party other than the ruling elite runs for national office, it may be equated with treasonous folly - because the lesser of two evils may not win.

06/28/04 With the so called hand-over of Iraq to expatriate Iraqis, this new Iraqi government will be able to do things that the US was not, because of appearance, such as the reported introduction of martial law, and the reintroduction of the Bathist fascists, into the military. The first order of business should be to destroy the insurgency that of course will see this new government as a US puppet. If history is any indication and with Negroponte running the biggest American Embassy in the world, no doubt swollen by CIA and private security enforcers, it is as likely as not, that Iraq may turn into a death squad state, as was the pattern of US interventions in the Americas. And of course the US media will have to do its part as it always does, in ignoring this reality if it should come to pass.

06/25/04 Theory is al Qaeda loves Bush so much they may bomb America to get him re-elected. Theory is Bush cronies may bomb America in order to get him re-elected. America ain't Spain. Or Bush Jr may not win the election legally, but may finagle it — like with voting machines, or November nukes in Iraq. If he loses, he goes into past presidential golf gaga land, with the likes of his war criminal buddies like Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr or Kissinger. And when he dies he will be mediaized as the greatest president since Cesar. For those who find that revenge is sweet — the best of all worlds would bring Bush back into the White House, with a Democratic congress and Senate, that would have the guts to slowly investigate, hound, humiliate and drive him from office, shamed and vilified as was Nixon. Sweet dreams.

06/23/04 Americans in general and as a rule — don't really care for democracy. The only real democracy is in government institutions, where there may happen to be no graft and favoritism, however generally not applicable to higher-ups — is like the water department. Capitalists like to use their money to buy preference and is the reason for making a lot of money. Countries whose economies are based on Capitalism are money monarchies. In capitalist business and enterprise, money almost without exception will procure favoritism and preference, and in fact most products and services are priced based on ability to pay. Americans talk equalitarian democracy, but they don't really quite believe in it. Few are going to stand in line and take their turn, if they can get a preference pass and special treatment instead.

06/21/04 When the first plane hit the World Trade Center, George Bush reportedly said 'that's a really bad pilot'. When the second plane hit, he did nothing but sit and read (he reads?) to a class of school kids. Theory is they knew it was coming and let it happen, to give them their Pearl Harbor for Iraq. Theory is also however, that they did not think the buildings would fall down, and indeed it had never happened in history before, where a steel frame building implodes from a plane crash or fire. Given this theory, the question then would become who bombed the buildings? Could not have been any terrorists, since security would have been at a maximum since the 1993 WTC bombing. Means it must have been Americans, and someone with enough clout, that they could do and get away with it — without any suspicion whatever.

06/18/04 George Bush the elder just turned 80. Getting up there — and after the all-encompassing spectacle of the Reagan funeral, it might not be completely out of the question to ask if he would take one for the team, and kick off just before the election. Another week-long propaganda orgy, that the media could milk to death. Kerry would have to stop campaigning. George Bush Jr. would give a nationally televised memorial and eulogy on the eve of the election, and be swept back into the White House on gross sentimentality — and the heirs of 'Hail To The Chief'. Bush Sr wouldn't even really have to die. After-all, they have the power and money to fake it. But he would have to forgo the limelight, fade into the shadows, join Cheney in one of those 'commie under every bed' national emergency caves. Or they just might settle for nuclear material, all of a sudden found in Iraq, in the hunt for red October.

06/16/04 The upper classes are in general too sophisticated to be racists, and they certainly can afford to live where the conflict might hardly arise, but rather they are classists — after all what do they have their money for — other than to be better than others. The lower classes on the other hand, tend to be of the same class as racial minorities, so they can't be classists. To be better than others — it must be some criterion other than money — so what else but race and religion. And the rich don't mind really, since it is better to have the lower classes, who are the majority, hating each other — rather than them.

06/13/04 If it wasn't clear before, one could not miss the crystal this time, if one watched the Ronald Reagan funeral extravaganza. The US visual broadcast media is state-run media with central control, and the control is elements of the ruling class and the Republican Party. This ain't Kansas anymore Dearie. Sometimes one might notice that one week the focus of the news is all on Tweedledee and the following Monday it suddenly changes to Tweedledum universally. How did they all land on the same subject? It is known that the Right Wing media radio talk and Fox news is coordinated through conference calling with the input of agents of the Republican Party, conservative think tanks and others. It would seem that this scenario might be extended to include the whole of the visual broadcast media, including PBS, CNN, C-SPAN and the print media. It is the 'Lookin' glass media' where everything is backwards. True is false and false is true. Watch and hear it in reverse and you will get a better idea of what is going on in the world.

06/10/04 The White House is for the Republicans a symbol of an idealized Hollywood-like America, with no actual connection whatsoever to its true nature. Never mind that millions of deaths have been plotted and ordered from this symbol as well as oh so many other crimes. So when Clinton 'defiled' the White House with sex, it was for these Republicans like the Abu Ghraib Prison SM torture pictures. He defiled a sacred symbol like having sex with the Virgin Mary. This is what promoted and sustained the vast right wing outrage. Ronald Reagan is a symbol that represents absolutely nothing real. Compare his true record with the TV fanfare and one can get a sense of just how truly disgusting, vile, degenerate, devoid of any honor, ethics, veracity, pride, intelligence of the messengers of this medium, and in turn the affect on the American population it continuously propagandizes When Pinochet the Chilean dictator arrived at the White House, probably to thank Nixon for the help in his overthrowing the democratically elected Allende government, he saluted the door man, probably thinking he was some big shot general. This characterizes these people to a tee. It is all uniform, pomp and show absolutely devoid of any depth, intelligence or character like the empty suits that they are.

06/07/04 Enough to make one gag — the US media's adulation of Reagan posthumously. The worst president in the history of the US, second only to the current Bush Jr. Same gang today as Reagan's mafia, except Cheney is running things now, where it was Bush Sr. then. The most corrupt administration next to this current, one trillion lost to the Saving's & Loan rat hole, secret wars, drug and arms dealing, union busting, unparalleled military spending again until now, a terror to the environment, the creation of the homeless problem and on and on… But the worst was the time — the crossroads between steering the country and the world toward a more ecologically social, economic and political reality or what we got - the promise of — you can have it all baby and don't worry about it. They gave Nixon, if you can believe it, the same disgusting glorified wake. If Alphonse Capone had been a Republican president, upon his demise from syphilis, the eulogy would have been he was a moral giant. Yes Reagan — the great communicator. 'Awe shucks — one more for the Gipper'.

06/04/04 Took a college day course on the mass media and all idealism, ethics and abstraction. By coincidence took a night course at the same time, given by a radio station owner. All money and market. American broadcast and most print news is for kindergarteners. The editors, reporters, and telegenic presenters are not much more than maybe third graders. The reason for this is that most of the real and major decisions made in America are made by the ruling classes who control the banks, the major industries, defense and media. Not that this politics is that complicated, but it is only that the population of America cannot know that there is such a thing as a ruling class, that control the underlying policies of the government and commerce. They are not forbidden only dis/courage/d.

06/02/04 Capitalism cannot abide social equality. Much of the time quality products and services can be produced for the same price as those of less quality. However business acumen will dictate that the product be produced and sold as levels of quality, for the single purpose of charging and making more money. It thus could be said that social inequality is inherent in economic capitalism.

05/31/04 Bush Jr. claims to be a compassionate conservative and or a compassionate Christian. How compassionate are these Conservatives and Christians? They may be greatly compassionate toward those who accept their view of things. They even may be compassionate toward those who don't. However compassion for those who don't is conditioned upon the concept that these will convert to their so-called conservatism or Christianity. How compassionate are they to those who will not be coming around? They can rot in hell for all eternity is how compassionate is that.

05/28/04 Generally the definition for crazy people is those that act on unreasonable assumptions that have no basis in fact or reality, such as hearing voices. And yet that is exactly the definition of Religion. They act on an authority of God which has no verifiable proof of existence. And when they hear voices, they may call it the voice of God. Actually — certified crazy people, such as paranoid schizophrenics, have an excuse for their delusions, since the dynamic of their sensory perception confirms for them their unrealistic perspective of reality, such that for them at least, it is hard to deny. Whereas religious people have no reason to believe the nonsense they do, accepting that their friends and family believe it, and because it is associated with higher callings, goodness and love. To let these religious nuts run governments and affect others not of their delusions, compounds the fantasies and makes the official law of the land — state madness.

05/26/04 The only way democracy will be preserved in the US is for the people to get organized, start knocking on doors and build a groundswell to elect candidates that will change the way elections are funded. The reason that things have come to such a state is that the politicians are owned by money. The only way that there will ever be independent politicians who put the people first, instead of themselves and those with the money to buy there elections is to make a political campaigns funded from public taxes. Anything else is just whistling in the wind.

05/24/04 The Bush, Blair and Israeli governments are a marvelous illustration of the concepts of Progressive Morality, wherein there are no absolute prohibitions, and you get to do whatever you want, so long as you have a good enough reason. And of course reasons can be found by means of Authority Reasoning, wherein the authority proceeds the evidence, and only evidence is selected that supports the authority, which in this instance the authority is the war on Iraq and the Palestinians. This profoundly illustrates why progressive societies are so corrupt, they make-up whatever they want (lies) to justify whatever they want to do which in this case is out and out thievery. And how are these lies promulgated, but except by our lovely media.

05/21/04 What the US Navy is most famous for in some circles, is botching things from the top, and blaming it on the lowest rank they can find. They must have learned it from experience, in the life boat when overcrowded — throw the weakest guy overboard. Scum like this doesn't pop up from the bottom of the pond, but every so often. Now anyone with half a brain knows that the Bush hierarchy wanted intel in Iraq, and they wanted it in the worst way. They need to stabilize Iraq, and they needed to do what was necessary to save the Iraqi privatization project, the bases and the oil. The latest scum to rise out of the abyss — after the hillbillies (an intelligence term), helped them get the intel they needed, but got caught — they are going to be thrown to the sharks. How virulent can scum get? This scum must be genetically engineered at Fort Detrick Maryland.

05/19/04 See all these new models of cars coming out again and they seem to be getting smaller. Buy almost anything, and it is obsolete by the time you get it home. That's how they keep churning out these products by the millions. Conjecture for fun — might be they saturated the market with big cars and SUVs and in conjunction with the oil companies, they jack up the price of gas, so now everyone will have to get rid of their big gas guzzling cars and buy what - new smaller cars. Go American. SpinCycle
