POPSHow many friends are you allowed to have?
Me and My Facebook I was introduced to Mark Morford during the nightmare of the Bush/Cheney or is it the Cheney/Bush administration’s HELLISH 8 year reign. His articles with all its sarcastic truthisms helped me survive during those dark days. After the 2004 horrendous election when the unthinkable of all unthinkables happened and the lunatics occupying our highest house of authority were given 4 more years to wreck havoc. When Bush/Cheney and their minions, smirked at the cameras, I was beside myself in despair. Then Mark Morford wrote an article for New Year’s 2005 and suggested how to survive the gloom of the following years. Amongst other suggestions he said ‘WHY NOT START A BLOG’. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2005/01/05/notes010505.DTL LIGHTBULBS lit up for me, http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com/2005/01/its-not-easy-being-blue.html I’ve been blogging ever since. Thanks Mark for that & thanks for this delightful article about facebook. thinkingblue.blogspot.co

POPSThe Banality Of Bush White House Evil "Five years after the Abu Ghraib revelations, we must acknowledge that our government methodically authorized torture and lied about it. But we also must contemplate the possibility that it did so not just out of a sincere, if criminally misguided, desire to “protect” us but also to promote an unnecessary and catastrophic war. Instead of saving us from “another 9/11,” torture was a tool in the campaign to falsify and exploit 9/11 so that fearful Americans would be bamboozled into a mission that had nothing to do with Al Qaeda. The lying about Iraq remains the original sin from which flows much of the Bush White House’s illegality."

POPSTales From Torture's Dark World "Perhaps one should start with the story of the first man to whom, according to news reports, the president’s “alternative set of procedures” were applied"

POPSThe Culture Warriors Get Laid Off "Here, at last, is one piece of good news in our global economic meltdown: Americans have less and less patience for the intrusive and divisive moral scolds who thrived in the bubbles of the Clinton and Bush years. Culture wars are a luxury the country — the G.O.P. included — can no longer afford."

POPSGood Riddence! "But people were getting rich and that has taken priority over all other things during the Bush regime. We are now nearly six years into a “war” (invasion and occupation is more accurate) which was justified with lies about WMD’s. Yes, they were lies. They would reprise that “asleep at the wheel and then feign shock and dismay” routine when hurricane Katrina wiped out New Orleans after many warnings that that was an inevitability if the levy system wasn’t upgraded. Dubya has a legacy alright. Just how bad history will view it will be determined over the next few years as we struggle out of all the crises he’s leaving behind. We have all suffered enough. "

POPSBlizzard Of Lies "But there’s another answer, which may be even more important: how a politician campaigns tells you a lot about how he or she would govern. And now the team that hopes to form the next administration is running a campaign that makes Bush-Cheney 2000 look like something out of a civics class. What does that say about how that team would run the country? What it says, I’d argue, is that the Obama campaign is wrong to suggest that a McCain-Palin administration would just be a continuation of Bush-Cheney. If the way John McCain and Sarah Palin are campaigning is any indication, it would be much, much worse. "

POPSStill No Exit "Mr. Obama has offered a sensible blueprint for quickly drawing down American troops in Iraq and bolstering the fight in Afghanistan. After a befuddling silence, Mr. McCain on Tuesday finally agreed that more troops are needed in Afghanistan. What Mr. McCain has yet to explain is where those troops will come from. Mr. Bush’s disastrous war in Iraq has so overtaxed American forces that the math is painfully simple: Until there is a real drawdown from Iraq, there will not be enough troops to win in Afghanistan. "

POPSIt only took 8yrs ! But WHY NOW ? If only he had approve this at the beginning of his term,then maybe he wouldn't have the money to start a "WAR" he really believes America gave him a "big blank check" to play with.

POPSThe Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder by Charles Manson prosecutor and Helter Skelter author Vincent Bugliosi. Click on the video and see how serious he is about a legal case against Bush. His prosecution record is almost flawless too.

POPSMr. Bush And The GI Bill "Thankfully, the new G.I. Bill has strong bipartisan support in Congress. The House passed it by a veto-proof margin this month, and last week the Senate followed suit, approving it as part of a military financing bill for Iraq and Afghanistan."

POPSTroy's Poision Pill Please read this entire article in Mother Jones. It explains how a Bush appointee made it next to impossible for a person to sue a drug or pharmaceutical company, or medical device manufacturer for injuries sustained from use of their product. The claim goes that if the FDA approves a drug or device, that that should be the end of the line. As long as the product meets FDA approval, not judge or jury should be able to determine that said product could be responsible for someones injury. This is another example of how the Bush administration has put big business over human lives. Is it any wonder he demands preemptive immunity for communications companies, when he already had the FDA preempt medical liability lawsuits? This just gets disgustinger and disgustinger.

POPS'Bush Is Too Horrendous to Be Forgotten' SPIEGEL talks to American author Philip Roth about growing old, why George W. Bush is the worst American president ever and why he never gives out his cell phone number. Philip Roth, who will be 75 in March, is one of America's most critically acclaimed living writers. His 1969 novel "Portnoy's Complaint" brought him fame, and he went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for 1997's "American Pastoral."

POPSClinton, Obama Debate Focused On Issues Did anyone else watch the 2nd half of the LA debates in the Kodak theatre? I was so impressed with Hillary! And it really drove home how much I DO NOT like Wolf Blitzer. He is short (sorry short people, I'm being sarcastic), he seems to have a particular disdain for some women and he is overbearing and obnoxious. You were booed several times by the crowd and you deserved it Wolf!

POPSWar And Taxes What was it that GW said about Ken Lay? He hoped he was saved? I have to give credit where credit is due. What a hypocrite. What a liar. What a law breaking asshole. What a disastrous, failed, lunatic of a policy maker who is laughing the whole way to the bank. And we all paid for the deposit slip baby.
