Treasonous Hannity...

I am amazed at the FOX noize network and what they contrive as news. In a recent interview with Dick Cheney and the lying style of "Enquirer" antics of news reporting from Sean Hannity, he asks Cheney if it was dangerous for Barack Obama, (Fox network never calls him our nations President,) to be photographed shaking hands with dictators such as Hugo Chavez!

First, Hugo Chavez is not a dictator. He is a freely elected official. Whether the right wing, or any wing of, for America likes this or not.

He is asking Cheney this quesiton?! Cheney has spent decades being photographed with the dictators that the administrations he has worked with created. With the Reagan Administration, who illegally sold arms to Iran, there are countless shots with Rumsfeld or Cheney doing business with the now criminal state they profess to be so dangerous to our country. They created this criminal country.

There are countless shots and business dealings with Rumsfeld and Cheney creating the regime that Saddam Hussein built. That same regime that they in turn turned on and declared dangerous to the world and decided to start the failed waste of a war. The Administrations to which Cheney and Rummy belonged to built this regime as well.

Yet, Hannity and his insanity, has the gall to make up the threat that our President, Obama, is dangerous in shaking hands with Chavez?! A freely elected official?!

Oh, by the by, Happy Earth Day!! Stop listening to FOX and save the earth!!

The Insanity of Hannity

Forgive me, readers, it has been a little while since my last...Oh, wow, that almost seemed like a confession booth statement. Government and religion don't mix.

We need to remember about the separation of church and state...

I thought that I would try to broaden my horizons, this past week. I did so by attempting to watch FOX Noize...I mean, FOX News. I was dumbfounded by the lies and deception they continue to spew. I don't know why I was astonished, as I have caught glimpses of the network before. I watched in order to try to hear "the other side" and what ideas they might have on some of the political issues at hand.

I watched Sean Hannity spew nothing for nearly an hour. I watched Bill O'Riley, once again, show the world that he really is an idiot. I watched Karl Rove attempt to educated his followers...all three of them...

It seemed that Sean Hannity was spouting that the democrats have created a platform of fear. He stated that they were trying to push the economic stimulus package through by stating that if things don't get signed and moving forward the economy will continue to go into the abyss.

Uh...yeah! The abyss created by the lies and deceit of the fear breeding, do nothing, no accountability administration of the past eight years. Cheney came on and spread the misinformation that this administration needs to continue to handle the war on terror with the same aggression that the Bush team did or they will fail. What he was really trying to say was that he hoped that the Obama administration would do the same things that the Bush administration did so that when Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush go to court for their crimes against humanity they will have this new administration doing what they did so they could have a means of defense. It is the same kind of bullshit that they tried to give us on inauguration day by having us feel sorry for Cheney since he was in a wheel chair because he hurt himself moving a box. This is a racist, sexist, man, a multi-multi-millionaire who has had numerous heart operations, with a pace maker trying to tell the public that he picked up a box...one heavy enough to get hurt? That he is just like us...? Right...

The Repugnicants, who orchestrated a blank check attempt at the first bailout to the corporations with NO accountability are attempting to act to the American people that they care for their well being and the amount of money that is necessary to be distributed through an economic stimulus package. FOX is telling its viewers that the fear mongering democrats are trying to posit that the world will collapse if this money gets tied up in legislation.

Hey, news flash, the hundreds of BILLIONS of money that the Repugs have pulled out of the taxpayers pockets thus far has done NOTHING!!!! The world has collapsed!! This was pissed away very quickly when the repugs, in Sept./Oct., ordered the money to be released ASAP in order to "shore up the economy". Their faithful at the corporations have kept it all. So, much for the taxpayer...But, now, the Repugs care about the taxpayer's well being.

I find it unbelievable that people buy the messages of O'Riley and Hannity. It is time that we remember a few things. It is the public's job to read between the nonsense. To recall the failed policies of 8 years. Nothing major, just, the fall of the global economy on Bush's watch. The fall of the faith in truth and oversight in government on Bush's watch. The fall of the separation of church and state on Bush's watch. The fall of the global trust as a well meaning nation on Bush's watch. The lies and distortions in order to invade a sovereign country and murder hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians on Bush's watch.

Speaking of the separation of church and state, have you heard about the new administrations government program being created for faith based initiatives? Yeah, it is being put together and touted that this government program will have an oversight committee to make sure that it maintains its separation of church and state. Uh...but...nevermind.

America's Dark Horse

There is a term in competition called, Dark Horse. This is one who is nominated unexpectedly, without previously having been discussed or considered as a likely choice. Often a dark horse is selected as a compromise when other, more prominent candidates' factions cannot come to an agreement. This metaphoric expression originally alluded to an unknown horse winning a race and was so used in a 1831 novel by Benjamin Disraeli titled "The Young Duke".

There is another book called "Dark Horse", written by Ralph Reed. It is his first book and a political thriller. Reed used to be the head of the Christian Coalition. His characters in the book clearly show the sexist views that he has had for years. His female characters are either alcoholics or sex fiends, and the males characters are white, power monger, religious men (which all seems somewhat contradictory from such a religious man...or is he?...) He did get his friends to write great reviews for him, though. Karl Rove, Sean Hannity, and Robert Novak seemed to love it, as I'm sure they see much of themselves in it...I rest my case...

I would imagine that both parties might feel that they have a dark horse running in this election. With McCain coming from behind for a while to finally take the lead after the Repug party totally ignored anything Ron Paul was saying, although he was pulling 28% approval ratings until the convention.

I am confindent that this years Dark Horse will be Barack Obama.

The poetic prose of Sarah Palin and e.e. cummings!

The right winged network, Fox News reporter Sean Hannity in the exclusive interview with Sarah Palin, done on Sept. 21, 2008 is being labeled as “100 percent pure infomercial”. But it may need a bit more attention as it begins to defy human reality?!...After reading the transcript of this interview I just cannot believe my ears of what words are being employed by her as she manouvers through the questions.

Hmmmm.... Palin, e.e.cummings,, Palin, e.e.cummings...

...Palin's response: "Yes. That's a great question, and being an optimist I see our role in the world as one of being a force for good, and one of being the leader of the world when it comes to the values that -- it seems that just human kind embraces the values that -- encompass life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that's just -- not just in America, that is in our world."

(she got her first passport a few months ago...)

e.e. cummings' poem:

"next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country 'tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"

He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water"


If only e.e. had a line about "not blinking," the poem would have been frighteningly filled with foresight...
