I couldn't let this one go by, for those that may have missed this!!!
McCain has no idea how to deal with finances, what country's exist, who is who and what is what...and he wants to rule the world!? Enough of the SAME!!
Oh, and the fact that last week, and the previous many weeks McCant has stated that he thought the economy was basically sound...that is until this week when he stated that it is the government and corporate greed that have placed the economy in such a delicate condition.
Watch!

Is this how to run a campaign?! Saddening!!
Some of this may be difficult to watch, but the Repugnicants didn't think so. Due to their continued massive campaign to breed fear into the eyes, hearts and minds of the American public they showed this video at their convention. Although, the party and administration decided to NOT GO AFTER THE PARTIES INVOLVED IN THESE ATTACKS, and instead invaded a sovereign country, they still use this as the cornerstone of their campaign as if they have done good or right to and by any American.
This is the public apology to Americans, by Keith Olberman during the convention, for the Repugnicant's misuse of this tragedy for their own benefit. Once again proving to the American people that they have no regard for anyone but themselves and their party's success to the path to the White House.
Wake up America!! See the writing on the wall of the self centered, criminals that these people are with no regard to anyone but themselves.
I follow with the Sarah Palin story of the birth of her latest child to exemplify this point:
I heard the story of Sarah Palin and the birth of her latest kid on NPR radio. She was giving a speech in Dallas. Shortly before she was to take the stage for this speech her water broke. She was concerned that she couldn’t give the speech, as she wanted to badly. After discussion with her doctor in Alaska, she gave the speech. After the speech, any responsible mother-to-be knowing her age and the fact that she knew the child had down syndrome, would have gone to the nearest hospital. Not Sarah. No, she is “the young maverick”! She got into her car and was driven past three Children’s Hospitals in the Dallas area as they went to the airport. Upon reaching the airport she got on a plane without any concern as to the care of the other passengers, let alone the safety of the birthing child. That is due to her age, her fifth birth, down syndrome child, she got on the plane without regard to anyone else’s schedule just in case there were issues and the plane would have to do an emergency landing on her behalf. The plane went on to Seattle. One would think that then a responsible mother-to-be would find the nearest hospital as she was well into a fourth hour of labor timelines now. No, not Sarah, she is “the young maverick”! She waited another hour for the next plane to Anchorage. She got onto this plane, once again with no regard to the passengers or the baby but only herself, as she wanted the baby to be born in her small town in Alaska. Once they reach Anchorage, and upon driving through to reach her little town approx 45 minutes away , they pass by another two hospitals through Anchorage. The mother-to-be, knowing that she has a child with special needs (to which she cut the funding for in Alaska by 62% until she realized that she would be having a child with these needs) keeps going until she reaches the small town that has the largest Meth lab concentration in the state, in order to have her child.
This is a simple scene of the ignorance and arrogance of the Repugnicant VP. This example and others, such as the fact that she fired the local librarian after the woman refused to ban certain books from the library that Sarah wanted banned. The librarian was reinstated only after a public outcry…
There is the other story that Sarah and family were in DisneyLand and upon the sighting of “Goofey”, Sarah shot him…I am still checking to see if this story is true… ;-)

Born Free!? Have we lost our "Right to Think"?!
As Americans we are supposed to be the beacon to human rights. This is why so many continue to flock here from their previous countries. To be free people. But, are they? Are we? Is it simply a great facade? Perhaps, in comparison to where the new immigrants come from, yes, we are "free". And this is good. But, are we "free" anymore? Has this Administration gone a bit overboard, by "protecting" (through their breeding of fear) us so much it is stifling our freedom?
I think YES! As Voltaire said, "Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too."
Although, this video below dates back to Sept. of 2006, because the President continues his path of righteousness, it is that much more relevant today!
Freedom is a fine line. It is delicate and a right that is or should be for every person on this planet. Here is the United States, have we been taking things a bit for granted? Has our complacency blinded us?
Born Free is a fight that is still alive and well!!

Words of Sun Tzu, or Bush...Sun Tzu, or Bush...
"The Art of War", considered one of the greatest books ever written, was written 2,300 years ago by Sun Tzu, a great Chinese military genius, during the era (476 to 221 B.C.). During this time there were a few hundred wars (equal to 150 years of World War II) fought non-stop between the separate warring states of China. At this time, it is clear, that war was done by the primary means of men on the ground. Thousands and thousands of lives were lost during these violent, face to face, hand to hand battles.
The difference today doesn't seem to be much. The United States has a policy to think that our technological defense weapons are all it takes to win wars. If this were the case we would be done and complete in Iraq, and Afghanistan, or what about Vietnam. Strategy, is what wins wars. Due to the fact that our current Administration had none when going into this situation except revenging "daddy's attempted assasin", we are now left with our young men and women running around wondering why they are there. Why are they being called back for the fifth and sixth time. This is exemplified daily at the end of MSNBC News program "Countdown with Keith Olbermann", "...this is now the 1078th (or whatever) day after the declaration of victory in Iraq!" And the saga continues.
****************************
In the (translated) words of Sun Tzu:
Using a huge army in battle makes success very expensive
Long delays create a dull army and sharp defeats.
Attacking enemy cities drains your forces.
Long, violent campaigns that exhaust the nation's resources are wrong.
Manage a dull army and you will suffer sharp defeats.
Drain your forces and your money will be used up.
Your rivals will multiply as your army collapses and they will begin against you.
It doesn't matter how smart you are, you cannot get ahead by taking losses.
You hear of people going to war too quickly, still, you won't see a skilled war that lasts a long time. You can fight a war for a long time, or you can make a nation strong, you cannot do both!
****************************
I reflect on these words from his second chapter. Profound thoughts of Sun Tzu's time that are in direct relation to today. We have found ourselves in a "quagmire" to use their own words. Such a throwback to the 60's. Can our leaders ever learn from history and their mistakes? The same people that helped run the Vietnam war (Rumsfeld and Cheney) have done the same thing all over again. Only this time they have the Bush family juggernaut behind them. Money is the forefront of this war. As the times have changed since the sixties, the money is more focused to a handful of participants and a small global group of white men.
Perhaps they should read Sun Tzu's book. It's pretty clear to me, and it's only in chapter two. One could get to it in a few minutes. and save us all a lot of shit!
I know, though, that when I watch Keith Olbermann on Monday, another day will be added to his tag line and more lives will be lost for naught.
Take a listen to this most recent turn of events from the Keith Olbermann Countdown!
I love this guy!!
