Karl Rove Citizen's Arrest in San Francisco: Video of Herr Rover Shoving a Lady

The latest event in Karl Rove's political schedule was another attempted citizen's arrest.

Following up on the July 25, 2008 Karl Rove Citizen's arrest in Iowa, this week, a 58-year-old woman protester, Janine Boneparth of the commendable organization Code Pink, attempted to slide handcuffs on Herr Rover -- an ingenious direct action citizen's arrest attempt.

As usual, the citizen attempting an arrest was rebuffed by the law -- though not without a harsh shove by Herr Rover himself. Nothing like beating up girls to make a boy feel tough, eh?

Watch video here as the Herr Karl Rovermeister actually shoves a lady in the gut on stage with a live audience! (the Shover is at 0:34)

Shameless -- but we already knew that.

Sounds like one more offense to add to his long list of violent behaviors against humanity.

This is just weeks after over 300 protesters and concerned Americans detained Rove for crimes against humanity at an event in Claremont, California.

Impressive work by concerned and active citizens. Yes, most criminals do get away with horrific crimes against humanity (anybody still remember Henry "Genocidal Maniac" Kissinger?)

At least this one isn't getting off so easy.

Kissinger Sleeps at the China Olympics, Still a Criminal

No, this post is not about how 3 of the worst criminals in world history are still allowed to walk freely among human beings, but rather how the criminal in the middle -- one Henry "the Killer" Kissinger -- is apparently not under threat of prosecution in China for war crimes.




Kissinger paid his due respect to the Chinese nation on Saturday by falling asleep during their basketball game against Spain at the Olympic games in Beijing. (see above photo of Kissinger sleeping easy at the Beijing olympics.) Fortunately for the US media, he did manage to stay awake during the China v US game today.

Rest easy, friends, all is still well in the world of unrepentant, unprosecuted genocidal maniacs.

George W. Bushler -- Olympic Chimp

No, folks, this is not a chimp or a bonobo in the crowd -- it's the leader of the greatest superpower in the world...


It is the most global sporting event and every time the Olympics come around everybody talks about sportsmanship, not politics. But everything is politics, friends -- even sports.

Fortunately, the audience at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics had the decency to show their disrespect to George W. Bushler and his coked up wife (or whatever it is in her system that keeps her mouth shut and her hand from choking Georgey's neck).

But the good thing about George W. Bushler is that he's the gift that keeps on giving. Yes, he has no respect for humanity, Yes, he has no respect for international law, but best of all, he also has no respect for himself.

That explains why cameras focusing on the Bushler as he sat in the audience during the opening ceremony repeatedly caught him slouching wide-legged, grimacing like only a Bushler (or an ogre) can and taking regular obvious peeks at his watch (which, in all fairness, he can't really read since it's not digital).

In fact, the only two times he sat at attention -- beaming that "presidential" pose that has fooled many a million Americans -- was when the olympic team from Iraq feebled out onto the track -- waving what was left of their tattered nation's flag, and of course, the USA team -- for whom he troubled an ovation. Not that anyone cared.

C'mon Bushler! Don't strain yourself -- your legacy is irrelevant now, at least give yourself a break from the acting.

Enjoy the Olympics folks -- it's a welcome break from the hideousness of the Wart on Terror and its related horrors...

The Next Cheney: Website Links McCain to the Devil

As we all know, John McCain has as much chance at the Presidency as a combover on Lake Shore Drive and nothing's helping his odds like the intelligent tactics by the DNC this year. Not content capitulating on this pensioner's age, decrepit looks, or -- more importantly -- his warmongering tendencies, the Democratic National Committee has decided to put it down in plain English exactly how horrifyingly deceitful John McCain really is.

Courtesy of the DNC, there is now a website called "The Next Cheney" which asks Americans to donate to a branch of the DNC that will analyze McCain's choice for the Vice President and "spread the truth" about what the guy is really about. Basically, the DNC is offering to prove exactly how tight the McCain VP is with the George Bushler/Dickless Cheney Klan -- and while McCain's still choosin', this website is devoted to exposing the top known candidates for the job.

Looks like McCain's gonna have to choose a Democrat as his VP because there isn't a single Republican politician out there who isn't soiled by the Bushler presidency AND who would actually be inclined to ticket with McCain.

Cindy Sheehan Submits Nominating Papers for Congress

If you can't beat 'em join them -- and today, July 29th, 2008, Cindy Sheehan did exactly that: she has submitted her nominating papers and is one step away from being on the ballot to beat Nancy "Plastic" Pelosi -- the supreme conservative "democrat" who does all she can to act like she's criticizing George Bushler without actually making him pay for his crimes.

Sheehan is that amazing woman and mother who became internationally known in 2005 for camping outside George Bushler's Texas ranch to protest his illegal war on Iraq after she lost her soldier son in the Iraq War.

Today, Sheehan submitted more than her required number of signatures to attain ballot status in California's 8th Congressional District -- the exact district Nancy Pelosi "represents." Remember, Cindy Sheehan is not from that district in California so in order to put herself on the California ballot she needed 10,198 signatures.

Sheehan is running as an Indepedent. It didn't take long for her to become disillusioned with the "democratic" party of which she used to be a member and in May 2007 she officially left the party when the "Democratic" controlled Congress -- in spite of everything -- voted to continue funding the Iraq War.

She started her independent campaign for Congress in July 2007 as a response to George Bushler's commutation of Scooter "Leaker" Libby's sentence for his involvement in the Valerie Plame scandal.

This woman is one of a kind and an example of how much is possible in America if people are informed enough and concerned enough to take action.

For any of you out there who live in San Francisco and want to elect a human and not a fraud to office, vote Cindy Sheehan on November 4th.

Karl Rove Citizen's Arrest Attempt in Iowa

(image source: DesMoinesCatholicWorker.org -- Kirk Brown reading the Citizen's Arrest Complaint to Rove on July 25, 2008))


Karl Rove was almost arrested in Iowa this week when 4 Iowans attempted a citizen's arrest of him as he spoke at a Republican fundraiser in Des Moines.

The four individuals have been named as retired Methodist minister and Peace and Justice Advocate, Rev. Chet Guinn, 80, and 3 Des Moines Catholic Workers, Edward Bloomer, 61, Kirk Brown, 25, and Mona Shaw, 57.

All four were arrested for trespassing just long enough for Rove to finish up and leave and then released. But not before they read from this Citizen's Arrest Complaint in the case of the United States of America versus Karl Christian Rove.

The complaint charges Rove with
-Election Fraud
-Conspiracy to Commit Offense or Defraud the United States, for false information leading to the war in Iraq
-Treason, Sedition, and Subversive Activities (also related to Iraq, as well as the torture being committed at Guantanamo)

...the United States code is cited in each charge -- these people really did their homework.

This is the second attempt by Kirk Brown and Mona Shaw to perform a citizen's arrest of Rove -- the first time was in March 2008 when he was speaking at the University of Iowa.

This is a significant event which unfortunately has received insignificant press coverage in the United States media. Weak. Very weak. Rove has a long list of criminal activities, not the least of which is his considerable role in the Valerie Plame CIA-leak investigation. (click here for the Saccharinist Guide to the Plame CIA Leak Case.)

Fortunately, it is a positive trend toward citizen action -- more people need to be out there attempting citizen's arrests (what about George W. Bushler? Condosleezza Rice? Dickless Cheney? John Asscroft? Alberto Bongzales...the list is endless.)

More Americans need to undertake citizens' arrests of these criminals and unlike this Iowa case the legal system needs to actually support these legal actions by members of the public. Clearly, the United States has a great deal of obstacles in place for people who actually attempt to abide by the law.

US v. Iran: The Latest

Looks like Bushler & Co. didn't get what they wanted from Iran in terms of getting Iraq off their back, so they're back to using what is now a classic route: corrupting the UN process.

And so, it's back to sanctions threats, badmouthing and namecalling via the prestigious annals of the in-name-only United Nations.

However, US domestic operations in Iran will continue. In case you don't know what those include, just ask your neighborhood Balochi and he'll tell you a thing or two about the bizarre increase in violence in Balochistan lately. And the US government, never one to stray too far from the playground, is also engaging in infantile taunting tactics, such as today's "show of force" by the Navy along Iran's coast in the Persian Gulf.

Iran, for its part, is anything but a spring chicken (much to the dismay of its younger, more ignorant enemies) and is implementing its own measures for protection, warning, and counterattack. There is the stuff that makes headlines (the arrest of scholar Haleh Esfandiari and now a Kian Tajbakhsh). And there is the stuff that doesn't make headlines (such as Iran's arrest last month of FBI Agent Robert Levinson who for some reason had made his over to the Iranian resort island of Kish).

What's next for the US? Certainly not Iran -- it's the last hope the US has of ever getting out of Iraq. Let's hope, for the sake of all the innocents involved in Iraq, that the US grows up soon.

Iraq Veto Celebrates Anniversary

................................................................blindfolded Iraqis in Iraq: May 2, 2007

This week has been a whopper for Bushler & Co. First, the 4 year anniversary of Bushler's announcement of the end of combat operations -- also known as the beginning of the real Iraq War -- arrived. Then Bushler vetoed a bill that would end Iraq by the autum of 2008. Then, two of his corrupt cohorts -- Paul "The Cheater" Wolfowitz and Alberto "Gringo" Gonzales -- got away with political murder and continued to refuse resignation. And finally, Bushler's plan to decimate Iraq took full force as 4,000 US soldiers arrived in Iraq this week.

The question that boggles the mind, at this point, is not why inhumane, bigoted, self-serving world leaders continue to allow Bushler & Co. to get away with their crimes. No, the question is why the American public -- of which the American soldiers are comprised -- do not seem to notice or care that their President and his administration are criminals who have destroyed the US economy and any good standing that the US might have had prior to the Wart on Terror.

We'll not mention Iraq or Afghanistan or Darfur or any other utterly destructive international issues that Bushler has initiated or contributed greatly to because the American public is not yet at a stage where they realize that when their government is so ruthless to others, it is no less ruthless to them.

No, let's wonder how many Vietnams, how many Iraqs, how many Katrinas it takes for Americans to realize that they themselves are the biggest victims of their government's foreign policy. It is they who must pay more taxes, for these crimes. It is they who do not receive social care, for these crimes. It is they who remain ignorant, for these crimes. It is they who grow up in a society that does not teach empathy or humanity, for these crimes. Good luck America. When the dust settles on Iraq and the rebuilding once again commences, Iraqis, with their rich and passionate culture and strong family connections, will still be happier than you.

Dancing Bush: Prez Tribute to Yeltsin

Didn't believe the Saccharinist that Prez Bush is back on the bottle?

"That must be the stuff that just swept Laura off her feet"

Or outta the White House, more like it!

This recent video is self-explanatory, and aside from the fact that the footage is now priceless, there's the added fascinating jab at Bushler from CNN -- a company that while not as close to Der President as FOX News, isn't exactly shy of conservative viewpoints itself.

If this is Bush's sick way of paying tribute to another dancing President -- good ol' Yeltsin -- he picked a bad week to do it!

(compare the dancing prez's for yourself:)

Baghdad Wall: Closing In On Us

An image from the wall between Israel and Palestine

It is not enough that George W. Bushler and his administration of overgrown schoolshooters have succeeded in perceptibly increasing worldwide hate and division in the last 6 years, they have also been the driving force behind 3 major inter-community barriers -- I refer, of course, to the Walls of Hate between Israel and Palestine, the United States and Mexico, and now, between Iraqis in Baghdad.

Twenty years ago when Reagan banged on about how the Germans should "tear down this wall" and that "no one would ever be able to do what they are doing again," the great majority of the American public, German public and all sorts of other publics throughout the West, believed him. Not so in the "East" where people have a long tradition of accepting that politicians are liars -- especially colonialist-imperialist politicians. Will the Western publics again forget that it is repeatedly their governments who put up these walls, only to forget and act innocent when it is opportune to them to tear these structures down?

The Baghdad Barrier is allegedly "to protect a Sunni Arab enclave surrounded by Shiite neighborhoods" but we don't know -- we'll never know. What we do know is that this same neighborhood had no need for such "protection" before the Coalition Occupation. What we do know is that before the US and its "coalition" violently attacked this country and its people, these neighborhoods got along just fine.

And people still laugh at the ancient Chinese for building their Great Wall over 7 thousand years ago -- but why? Our civilization has clearly not progressed from such elementary behaviors.

With this many barriers and Berlin walls going up throughout the world, one only wonders how many generations, how many millennia, it will take to break them down -- but worse, how many Walls will it take for us all to be trapped between checkpoints, and for the world to realize that this is enough.

Bushler Sleeps Alone

Laura Bush didn't mind sharing a bed with a mental retard. (probably cuz she didn't notice)

She didn't mind sharing a bed with a war criminal. (probably cuz she can't tell the difference)

But she finally drew the line at a drunk. (cuz she used to be one herself)

That's right folks -- Herr Bushler's sleeping alone these days -- George W. Bush has marriage problems, what a surprise. NOT!

According to the gossip hounds on the Internet, the Missus -- Frau Bushler (hey! she's guilty by association) -- has checked into the Hay-Adams luxury boutique hotel in Washington DC because Herr Bushler has once again returned to his roots as Herr Boozer.

Once a drunk, always a drunk and if anyone's got something he wants to drink away, it's George W. Bushler -- 'ceptin the drink ain't gonna make Iraq go away, just like it didn't make Daddy Bush go away. See, with a daddy like that, and a mommy that looks like a grandaddy, Bushler started drinking young. Trouble is, after claiming he found Jesus and stopped the drink, convincing a whole swarm of lonely, bitter conservatives across America that despite every other ball-faced lie he's lived in his life he managed to become a God's honest Christian, the last thing he needs is to lose the nutty rightwingers who are the last barrier to his demise.

But at this point in his "career" and her pathetic, unremarkable life, Laura Bush couldn't give a damn. So she's packed up and left. "She just couldn't take it anymore," according to an inside source. "She's had it." (Or she hasn't, for a long, long, time, if you know what I mean!)

Bushler, Boucher & Baghdad Blasts

Baghdad on April 18 2007, after 4 car bombs killed at least 157 innocent civilians

As news comes in that the unfathomable violence in Iraq has reached a new low today -- over 233 innocent civilians have been killed when several car bombs went off in a market in Baghdad and in other violence in public places in Iraq -- the biggest question remains: what is the United States doing over there?

The US government openly takes it for granted that most of the world should recognize their claim to authority in that region, as if it is natural and logical for people to assume that one nation has a legitimate claim over another one -- especially when they aren't even in the same continent.

This assumption by the US government is very strange indeed and the Americans have taken it to the next level by repeatedly questioning the authority and legitimacy of the actual people of this region. Aside from imposing manufactured governments in countries such as Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Afghanistan and elsewhere, the US (and its 'coalition') is actually questioning the role of neighboring governments -- most notably, Iran.

Considering that parts of Iraq along Iran have been porous borders for centuries, and the same can be said for Afghanistan, and of course Pakistan which shares the state of Balochistan with Iran, why is it strange that Iran would be somehow involved with the politics and people of these neighbors? US Assistant Secretary of State Boucher has today announced his concerns that Iran might be involved in Afghanistan in an "unhealthy" way, as if the US's involvement in Afghanistan has been therapeutic for Afghanis.

This rhetoric used by the US government, especially under the Bushler administration, has proven just as provocative as the actual bombs the US has used in this Wart on Terror. And the implications, sadly, are nothing short of negative and conducive to more violence.

Virginia Tech "Family": Victims Twice Over

As yet another senseless act of mass gun violence passes in the United States, the established symbolic behaviors remain unchanged.

Have you observed the following?

The Patriotism At Play

George W. Bushler's ridiculous appearance at the memorial service for the Virginia Tech victims was undoubtedly another standing-on-top-of-the-9/11-rubble charade. It was a chance for him to be seen as a leader at a time when most Americans are gradually though hesitatingly recognizing him as a terrorizer.

The use of a military spectacle, the playing of the national anthem, even the uniforms many of the audience were wearing -- the Virginia Tech sweatshirts and colors -- all served to "unite" the people, as they believe.

But the real purpose was to somehow belittle the fact that the university is comprised of many nationalities, many religions, and many backgrounds. Even more blatantly, this was an American ceremony to denounce a killer who was, in any case, not an American.

The Unwillingness to Question Authority

In the news coverage that has ensued, with the exception of a brave and intelligent young woman, Erin Sheehan who was one of only 4 people in her classroom to walk out uninjured after the attacks, none of the students interviewed were showing any concern or anger about the very obvious mishandling of this situation yesterday.

Nobody was willing to admit, as Sheehan did, that the authorities made a mistake and should have and could have done a much more effective job of warning as many people as possible immediately that there was a danger on campus.

Even at the memorial service, no one took the opportunity of having Bushler in the audience, to sneak at least a tiny jab at a violent overlord whose aggression, hostility, bigotry, and yes, violence, overshadows these horrific school shootings that have now become commonplace in the U.S.

Victims Twice Over

Ultimately, the political performances at the memorial and in the press -- including the ridiculous speech by Virginia Governor Kaine who will soon no doubt seek Giuliani-like political extension of what in his mind was the good fortune of being the leader of the place that a terrible incident occurred -- and the clear though indirect message to all of the victims, witnesses, families and everyone to shut up and stick together as the "Virginia Tech Family" during this terrible time -- all of this just victimizes these innocent people even more.

"Families" are supposed to be able to argue, to question things, to feel comfortable expressing themselves. This "family" rhetoric is just that -- not a genuine attempt to make the best of a horrible situation, but a disingenuous effort to stop people from recognizing and uttering truths, criticisms and concerns.

Unless more people from the "Family" have the courage to stand up and change this terrible American way of dealing with problems, then these problems will become worse -- as evidenced by the increased number of regular school and public place shootings across the U.S.

America Killing Itself

A student mourns at Virginia Tech on the night of the April 16, 2007 killings

When Michael Moore made "Bowling for Columbine" and "Farenheit 9-11" to show Americans -- that was his primary audience without a doubt -- that violent foreign policy, violent rhetoric from a President that aggressively and unethically forced and faked his way into office, violent video games explicitly used in US Army training to instill aggression and a lack of humanity in the young soldiers, and all the other small and large acceptable violence in the US and by the US are having a tangible and significant effect on the emotional state of America, many Americans called him a traitor.

Those same Americans continue to be duped by an administration that need not do more to prove what little regard it has for American life, let alone anyone else's.

What happened yesterday was the release of anger through retribution with violence -- exactly the type of thing that US foreign policy has extolled and paraded for decades. The Bushler Administration is doing exactly what his predecessors have done for so long -- it's just that he's been way less diplomatic about it, thereby making it easier for more people to see the obvious.

What exactly will it take for Americans to realize what is being done to them by their own government? -- because only then will they try to stop it from being done to others.

(for more on the Virginia Tech killings, see the Saccharinist here for more on the Virginia Tech gunman and here for the larger implications of US violence and foreign policy)

Virginia Tech Gunman & Iraq

The top headline across many Western outlets right now is that a madman has gone on a killing rampage on the campus of Virginia Tech university, killing at least 32 people in two attacks today, separated by at least 2 hours. British news outlet, Sky, is reporting that the gunman was of Asian origin, (meaning East Asian, as in Chinese for example) but nothing is yet confirmed. Sadly, the livelihoods and peace of an entire race or religious group hinges on who this crazy person was.

This type of horrifying, disturbing news is a daily occurrence in Iraq -- do the Americans, the British, the 'coalition forces' have at least some inkling of how painful this is, not just to those victims and families involved, but to absolutely anyone that hears this news or can in some way relate to the events because they are a graduate of Virginia Tech, or they visited it once, or anything?

Do the brainwashed young American soldiers in Iraq better understand massacres when it happens back home? Or, instead, are they so angered by this massacre that they will feel especially trigger happy in the next few days in Iraq?

Any fool that doesn't realize that Iraq (and all of the international aggression and violence that the United States government has supported and engaged in for decades) and this kind of domestic violence in the United States are closely related, is exactly the kind of idiot that can be brainwashed into an automated killing machine that does Bushler's bidding.

The United States has the highest rate -- beyond even its next competitor -- of gun-related violence in the world because ordinary Americans have very easy access to weaponry of a very high calibre, because Presidon't Bushler "believes that there is a right for people to bear arms" as his spokesperson said even today.

But today's story isn't just about the effects of violent, hateful foreign policy on the public at large; it's also about how so many innocents get caught in the web of violence, get hurled into the vacuum of hatred, get trapped in a lifetime of anger. The violence that ensues will be another cog in this turning wheel of antagonism in the machinations of the Bush administration, the Blair administration, and all the other administrations that tired of the anti-communism rhetoric and sought to replace it with the anti-terrorism one.

As these shameless world leaders perpetuate hate, the rest of us -- like these innocent victims at Virginia Tech, like the innocent victims in Iraq, like the innocent victims in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Guantanamo Bay, Palestine, Israel, and elsewhere -- must do any small thing we can -- like writing in a blog -- to make others aware of this propaganda so that somehow this violence and hate can stop.

Shaha Riza Cries Wolf

Shaha Riza, the hard-core bitch at the heart of the Wolfowitz pay raise scandal has audaciously written a note to World Bank board members insisting that she has been "victimized" as a result of being forced to leave her job at the World Bank because of the conflict of interests, what with her bangin' Wolfie while he's trying to save the world from debt (yeah right).

Miz Riza -- a self-hating Arab, a self-hating Muslim, and a viciously methodical mistress to the cons -- has poured the tar from heart into the note, whimpering about the "vicious public attacks" she has received since the whole world found out that Iraq was bombed cuz Wolfie liked gettin' blown by this witch.

She goes on to say that the backlash she has received as a result of the Board and the world finding out that she slept her way to the top and accepted bonuses like a Georgetown streetwalker has affected her "professionally, physically, and psychologically." Sounds like somebody's not so happy about working for Liz Cheney.

Hmmm...maybe now she knows what it feels like to be a homeless, familyless, hungry, thirsty, lonely, frightened, hopeless, mourning Iraqi. Yeah, she could relate because that's exactly what she's going through right now.

Heartless hag. Shame she and Wolfie broke up -- they're perfect for each other. Why is it always the biggest wusses who are the most ready to inflict pain and violence on others? Oh yeah, forgot, it's because they're sociopaths.

Farewell Kurt

A sad day in the literary world: Kurt Vonnegut has passed away at the age of 84.

His distinct charm, his curiously scientific yet passionate brand of storytelling, and his sense of humor will remain for us, his readers.

Sure, he had many famous novels, but I'll always remember him for EPICAC, his 1950 story about a computer that fell in love -- perhaps the most beautiful love story I've ever read.

At the age of 82, he came out of semi-retirement to write A Man Without A Country, his literary way of taking action and telling the world and his fans that George W. Bushler and his entire hatemongering, warmongering pathogenic politics are so so wrong and must be stopped. Too bad more people in a position of power have not come forward to do the same -- but obviously, that's why the Bushler movement was able to come into existence in the first place. And that's why it has come this far.

Vonnegut and his dying breed of socially-responsible celebrities will be sorely missed.

Shaha Riza & the Big Bad Wolfowitz

Paul Wolfowitz didn't think things could get uglier than his mistress Shaha Riza (pictured above)...

It is astounding how massively dependent the Bush administration has been on traitors:

Condosleeza Rice -- An African-American who hates African-Americans

Alberto Gonzalez -- A Mexican American who hates Mexicans

Rudy Giuliani -- An Italian American who hates Italian Americans (and everybody else)

Saddam Hussein -- an Iraqi who hated Iraq

And now: Shaha Riza -- an Arab who hates Arabs, a Muslim who hates Muslims, a traitor who loves Paul Wolfowitz.

What?

That's right! This sleazy old bag has been Paul Wolfowitz's side project (he's married) for several years now and even he claims she was the one who encouraged him to push for war in Iraq! Apparently, this hag has been working for decades to get to where she is: on her knees and advising Wolfie and the rest of the ballistic battallion in Washington how to destroy her homeland, country by country, people by people. Yup, Riza is a Mistress with a Mission. Nothing new there, except this she-devil is hellbent on destroying the Middle East, the land of her own people! I guess that's what years of living in Saudi Arabia do to a person. But heck, we've known for quite some time that the Saudis only have loyalties to the dollar.

And nobody would have given a care -- because in Washington, everybody's doing somebody on the side -- except that Wolfie stupidly gave Miz Riza a raise at her job at the World Bank and then had his underlings tell the Washington Post and New York Times that it was a Board decision, a charge the Board denies, even though it was clear and direct nepotism by the Wolfster himself.

And there's the rub: these criminals are apparently allowed to get away with genocide, violence, warmongering and all shades of inhumane and illegal activities but things all start trickling down just as soon as someone notices their unusually hefty bank accounts.

Anyway, this match made in hell has come to an end for Der Wolfler, so, as the Wonkette says: "For everyone who ever wanted to date a war criminal, this is probably your best chance now that Milosevic is dead." As for Riza, only one war criminal could possibly satiate her evil appetite: guess she'll have to take Kissinger up on his offer after all. Gerr-oossss!

The Spring of Bushler's Discontent

Four years ago today, Herr Bushler and his cohort Herr Blerr decided to prove to the world that there is no such thing as international law, human rights conventions, or public opinion.

Then they bombed Iraq.

Less than a month and a half later, Bushler announced that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended." A staged rally was sponsored and Saddam Hussein's statue was knocked to the ground (the man who was an integral part of that event stated to the London Guardian yesterday that "I really regret bringing down the statue. The Americans are worse than the dictatorship. Every day is worse than the previous day."), and all seemed well in Bushburg for about half a second.

Then the war never ended.

And so, an estimated 65,000 Iraqis have been killed; hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been physically wounded -- millions having been psychologically damaged for a lifetime that will be passed on to their children, too; 3,218 US military personnel have been killed (now outnumbering the total number of Americans who were killed on 9/11); at least 24,000 US military personnel have been wounded, many (if not most, if not all) to the point where they will never live normal lives again; and at least 389 American civilians have been killed. And of course, there is Afghanistan, but that's just another chapter in the same story.

What is even worse than all of this physical destruction of the human body is the unfathomable destruction of the human spirit -- the uncountable number of people, not just in Iraq, who now have hate in their hearts and who will pass this hate on to their family, their neighbors, their children, their children's children: The Americans who have been taught to not try to relate to anyone, even their own families; the Americans who have been injected with the virus of institutional racism; the Americans who have turned to fundamentalism in one Abrahamic religion in order to better hate another Abrahamic religion; the rest of the world who have witnessed all of this damage with disdain.

I've done my duty: I've provided you information on what's going on. You've done your duty by seeking this information. Spring is here now. We've been watering the seeds together: let's watch, hopefully, as new life take shape...

Killing America's Families

Hello America! As you stand idly by while your government destroys the world, spreading hate and tumult everywhere its dirty wars are implemented, your own public is suffering.

Yup, in this, the US government's Grand Week of Insulting Lies, in addition to

--attacks on Iranian interests in Iraq (not to mention in Iran itself, but nobody seems to cover that),

--Bushler's pathetic speech about how the war in Iraq is going so great he needs 21,000 more troops to even try making it out,

--Condosleazea Vice's embarrassing appearance at Congress where even her personal life (i.e. the entire lack of it) was fair game to senators (Barbara Boxer mentioned that Sleazy's got nothing to lose if more troops are sent to Iraq -- she doesn't have any children, let alone a partner),

--Senator Hilary Clinton's ridiculous appearance in the very Iraq for whom she sanctioned a war nearly 4 years ago where she denounced Bushler's troop increase in Iraq but demanded even more troops in Afghanistan (yeah! did you forget? Americans are over there guarding future energy pipelines and dodging Taliban rockets along the way)

--and the introduction (finally) of a climate of perceptible (though still incomprehensibly impotent) antagoniam toward the Bushler Iraq situation where even Republican members of Congress were feeling comfortable enough to accuse the government of its failures in Iraq (though Senator McCain showed his true colors to any fool who hadn't already seen them by siding with Bushler's plan and troop increase),

the biggest shot to the American public was the Pentagon's announcement that there will no longer be a time limit on active-duty National Guard (remember? those were the guys that took 5 days to make their way to New Orleans after Katrina hit -- somehow, they manage to get to Iraq in far less than that. Go figure.), and Army National Reserves men and women.

Don't you see that America? It's only a matter of time before military service will be mandatory in the US. Good luck America, while your eyes are closed, your country is being cleverly snatched away from you by your very own government. Yee-haw!
