that I was wrong about the Boston Police Patrolman's Association. They endorsed John Kerry for President this week citing his record of crimefighting.
So I was wrong, I (and many others) had in our heads that the B.P.P.A. was picketing the DNC to specifically embarrass Kerry's candidacy. However this quid-pro-quo has proven me wrong, Kerry respected the picket line and was well served in return.
What can I say? The B.P.P.A. has carried water for the GOP in the past...but not this time.
Thanks guys....and here is hopin'.

Now we know....
why our troops in Iraq only get one meal a day (the rest they have to pay for), must scrounge for ammunition, must purchase their own kevlar, and strip dead insurgents of their AK-47s....cause' our fearelessly truculent President told the Reverend Pat Robertson there would be "no casualties" in the Iraq invasion.
Iraq Viceroy General Sanchez has put the whole logistical catastrophe down on paper. Did Bush listen? he did not, apparently all George listens to these days are those wondrous wafting voices that promise him limitless victory soonest sans worry or woe.
Bush is strong on defense? The HELL he is! What kind of a warlord doesn't allocate enough arms, ammunition, and troops for his own misbegotten fantasy of invasion??
The whole mess reminds me of Mussolini sending flower of Italian manhood off to a winter attack on Greece wearing cardboard lined boots and armed with dilapidated pre-world war one rifles. Which is not to compare Bush with Il Duce, don't infer that...Mussolini had a better sense of style and was by all accounts a better pilot and linguist than our famously incurious President.
:)
Well, we have one advantage over the wartime Italians, we can call it quits with our Leader sans recourse to mob rule.

The scumbag's marathon...
Geez that Joan Vennochi sure is a nasty old bint isn’t she?
In her column today she scorns the Kerry campaign for taking “the low road” in the last debate by bringing up Mary Cheney’s lesbianism.
Ostensibly this was dressed up as polemic against the use of gutter tactics on the campaign trail, in fact though this was yet another screed aimed at her bete noir, Senator John Forbes Kerry.
Ah but Joan’s righteous anger knows no bounds…please consider this furious gem;
“Go ahead liberals, start howling; What is worse you say, refusing to admit you were wrong to invade Iraq or refusing to admit you were wrong to invade the Cheney family’s privacy?”
Jesus Christ, Joanie doesn’t hate the abased state of presidential campaigning, she hates it when democrats and liberals fight back. This confuses her, Joan is used to liberals as easy prey for the conservative ascendancy. Thus in desperation Joanie conflates our fatal misadventure in Iraq with Mary Cheney’s privacy…I mean didn’t Dick out her in the 200 debate with Lieberman?
Never mind, when liberals fight back that somehow is a sign of bad faith in Vennochiworld.
Picture this, a prize fight ring in which George Bush has climbed in armed with a sawed off shotgun and a brace of pistols, his opponent the Junior Senator from Massachusetts face him armed with his trusty six shooter.
Meanwhile right there at ringside is Joan Vennochi screaming “Kerry is cheating!”
Ghod forget about liberals howling, Vennochi has clearly entered a very sick and scary fugue state as election draweth near.
Poor Joanie, she can’t wait to write John Kerry’s political obituary, and the candidate keeps disappointing her. This causes her intense psychic pain as the only way she can get her ticket punched as a op-ed solon in Boston to tear someone down.
You just know she, McGrory, and Lehigh all have updated “the death of liberalism, the end of the Kerry crusade” eulogies on their hard-drives since last December.
One of the many good reasons to vote for Kerry is to prove these proud bastards wrong and rub their noses in it for a change.
So think on that gentle readers.

The view from atop Mount Schaedenfreude...
a glance through the front window of my local dollar book store reveals that Tim Russert's mawkish "Big Russ & Me" has been remaindered at 20% off.
It ought to be down to 50% off by New Years.
Tripe like this usually comes from heavy market research from the publishing companies.
That is if you were wondering how Tom Brokaw found time to become a historian of World War II...
I'd love to know what kind of inane polling informed Tim's publisher that the public was panting for a book lionizing Russert's father?

President Gilligan does it again...
Five BILLION US dollars earmarked for "reconstruction purposes" cannot be accounted for in Iraq.
That is five billion in US taxpayer monies that we can pretty much write off write now as the cashola has either been stuffed into a hookah and smoked, tossed around for bribes, or laundered to buy plastique. Who the hell knows where it has gone, with President Dipshit in charge its a fair cop the U.S. Public will NEVER know.
Meanwhile the supply of flu vaccine, the very seasonal lifeline of our senior citizens has dwindled to nothing thanks to a botched deal with a rapacious US drug company.
Honestly, Bush can't do anything right...even a simple task like flu immunizations disintegrates into morass of price gouging and gruesome ineptitude.
The man is a bungler, everything he gets involved with turns into an utter catastrophe. Five billion can get flushed down a hole in Iraq meanwhile here in America flu vaccine becomes as scarce as a sensible opinion in congress.
Oh yes and oil has reached fifty four bucks a barrel...more money picked out of the taxpayer pocket and rushed overseas.
Thank goodness we've got a Texas oilman in charge...can't imagine the world of shit we'd be in if Bush wasn't President!
Ghod no wonder GWB is surrounded by spin doctors and P.R. flacks, anyone as disaster prone as Bush needs all the help he can get in "framing the argument".
He can't think in any other terms except cliches and bromides...
His every action is either an appalling mistake...
The Man is a screw-up an monumental screw up.

The No Spin Fraud...
If George Bush is the greatest class warrior in U.S. History since the salad days of Huey P. Long then certainly Bill O’Reilly (SP) is The President’s Gerald L.K. Smith.
Purists might recall The Reverend Smith was a demagogic preacher whose virtuoso screeds often confused the late Senator Long with Jesus Christ.
Slavishly devoted to the Kingfish, Smith was run out of Louisiana after Long’s assassination in 1935. He ended his career as a Negrophobic jew-baiting Arkansas freakjob.
We live in a information age though, and where once raved a preacher-gone-mad, now La Famiglia Arbusto must made do with a mere pseudo journalist.
Times change what can I say?
Reilly seems to have gotten his tail caught in a crack though, Andrea Mackris one of his former staffers is suing him for sexual harassment.
YIPES!
Ms. Mackris apparently has audio tapes in which the “no spin zone” pundit rants and raves how Roger Ailes (Fox News CEO) has “high level” connections with which to crush Al Franken.
In Mackris deposition, O’Reilly is quoted as saying:
“Look at Al Franken, one day he is gonna get a knock on the door and life as he knows it will change forever. That day will happen trust me”.
Aside from the hopeless childishness of the above alleged quote…does anyone else sense a streak of passive aggressive cowardice in O’Reilly’s nature?
Somehow Roger Ailes is supposed to wipe out Bill’s tormentors.
All I wanna know is whether or not such services are explicitly spelled out in O’Reilly’s contract?
Because it seems Fox News is paying O’Reilly the proverbial shitload of money already…disappearing all Bill’s enemies could really run up the overhead on his chat show.
Several other things can be deduced from these documents; the most obvious being that Bill has no discernable sense of humor about himself and that heckling or whatnot truly sends him into a morbid rage.
The other thing is that based on the transcripts of the alleged tapes, one can see quite clearly how little interest the pundit-right has in a free and fair debate on the issues.
Preoccupied with serving and maintaining those in the power and a profitable status quo, O’Reilly and his ilk spend their off hours pawing sweet young things and fantasizing about Al Franken’s seizure and arrest.
A more Neronian state of affairs cannot be imagined.

Lets recap...
What I habve tried to convey in this blog is that very little constrains George Bush Junior's exercise of power.
The congress does not, the senior leadership of that once august body is composed of vile nigh reptilian sycophants and Presidential flatterers.
The Supreme Court gave Bush the power he now enjoys and shows no desire to rein in the President.
The Washington News Establishment is dominated by useless timer servers, lunatics, and outright conservative apologists.
What is to be done?
Clearly if you find the President's misuse of power disturbing or frightening, then the ONLY thing you can do vote for John Kerry on November second.
Nothing else will end GWB's flagrant Neronian reign save total defeat at the polls.
Nothing...the man is not animated by much in the way of reverence for democracy or a "decent respect for the opinion of mankind".
No...not with the Good Lord telling him how to fuck you on a deal...(to quote the late William Seward Burroughs).
if Bush wins next month, be it a landslide or a squeaker, he will inevitably govern in an even more autocratic-ideological fashion.
Hell George Bush thinks he doesn't NEED votes to win this election.
Raised as he was within the counter cultural traditional of the new right and fired by both a hatred of phantom elites and a profound sense of grievance Bush can do no other.
There is nothing more disgusting than a rich spoiled brat of a man who somehow has a chip on his shoulder for all his endless privileges and entitlement.
Self confidence of a rank nature like that also goes by the ominous but pithy Greek term "hubris".
Now over-reaching ambition MAY be Bush's downfall in his still notional second term, but who here in America wants go off that cliff with him?
really the only thing to do is vote for Kerry and in sufficient numbers to ensure Bush's exit from Washington in the back of a turnip truck.
