Lisa Schiffren Should Be Strung By Her Nostrils

I just finished watching a Bill Maher in which this horrible woman was a panel member. First I want to say shame on Bill for allowing this woman a platform to speak. She is a Bush lackey and an idiot who should not be encouraged, and should not be endorsed as a legitimate voice in the media.

She’s a Bush lackey because she perpetuates the lie that the firing of the U.S. Attorneys was a standard occurrence. Never in the history of our government have so many been fired mid-term like this. Does this make her an idiot? No. But here’s what does.

David Iglesias had just finished saying 3 things:

1. The Attorney General had falsely claimed all the firings, including his, were performance based, and he did it under oath, when the facts have shown this not to be the case.

2. He had been asked to break the law and wouldn’t, and that is why he was fired.

3. Had he been simply released, without allegations of poor performance, he would have walked away without a peep.

So David Iglesias acknowledged the position was political and the administration had the right to fire him at will, but not to ask him to break the law, and not to do it using false and personally damaging allegations.

What was Lisa Schiffren’s response? She repeated her stance that it was a political appointment and subject to firing at will by the administration. That is what makes her an idiot.

We need to stay focused on the problem these firings represent. It is not the firings in and of themselves because I think we can all agree that the administration had the right to do so. What we need to do is remember that Bush did not have the balls to stand on that right. We have to remember that Bush, directly or indirectly, was seeking to have the law broken and to have people act against their integrity and that when he didn’t get away with it he threw a temper tantrum and tried to push the blame elsewhere.

I agree with Richard Belzer, who was also on the show. David Iglesias is a hero for standing up for America instead of his job and a tyrannical administration. Bravo David.

Bush, The Icky Man, Turns My Stomach

My morning coffee trip includes a path through the student lounge at
the school I work. This morning I happened by as George, the Icky Man,
Bush was giving a live press conference. He was rambling, as usual,
contradicting himself (referring to the claims that staying the course
were only 25% accurate, and then saying stay the course meant
changing when things don’t work and getting the job done, which is what
he is doing :-p) as usual. But then he said something that caused me to
blurt bullshit out load and forced me to leave the room before I vomited
on the pretty girl sitting in the couch next to me.

“If we leave before getting the job done the enemy will come after us.”

How can he dare to insult us in such a way. How can he dare to insinuate
that what we are doing in Iraq, even to this day, is protecting us in any
way from terrorist threats? It has been shown, definitively in my mind,
that Iraq does not, and has never, been a direct threat to the United States.
If you believe anything else you are an idiot. Not only has Iraq been shown
to have never been a threat, we now know the actions Bush is taking to “get
the job done” are actually increasing the risks to us, here, at home.

I am quite certain Bush is doing what needs to be done to “get the job done”.
He is not being honest about what that job is. I am convinced things in Iraq are
going perfectly, according to the Bush plan. His desire to be the leader of “the
idealogical battle of the 21st century” requires the continued unrest in Iraq. It
requires the increased hatred of our country. It requires the systematic removal
of Generals, through attrition, to be replaced by Bushite straw men willing to
execute the commands of an armagedonist. These are very scary times and we
must pay attention or face dire consequences.

One thing you can do to show Bush, and the world, we are paying attention is to
link from your sites, as I have, to:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/

using the term: Icky Man

Here is a link for you to copy:

Leave a comment here so we can all see the progress of our efforts.

Let’s Clean the House

It’s time we made a stand for ourselves. The only way this can
be done is to break the chain of corruption in DC built by self
serving, power hungry, profit mongering scoundrels. The only
way to this is voting everyone out. The problems we face are
caused, in a large part, by the committees on the hill. These
committees are run by the old guard who are in turn run by the
lobbyists of powerful corporations. I realize an entire government
of freshmen congress and senate members would cause a certain
amount of chaos and inefficiency. I think we should be willing to
accept this considering both the ultimate outcome of the continued
course and the incredible power we, as a nation of individuals,
would gain in the long term. It would send a clear message that we
stand in absolute disgust with the current state of our leadership
(or lack therof) and that we are willing to do something about it,
now, and in the future.

Compared to what lies ahead, the turmoil of this move will be but
a flesh wound. Let’s dodge the bullet of arrogance, deception, power
mongering and greed seeking to blow our brains against the wall.
Let’s accept the fall of those who might be innocent bystanders on
The Hill in order to foster creativity and balance. Creativity and
balance are the natural outcome when problems are faced by people
on the same level playing field.

Level the playing field, vote for creativity and balance, vote for
yourselves, vote everyone in office out.

Cheers,
J Andrew Morrison

Tried to respond but

I tried to respond to this blog post but got a message that I must be logged in.

Here’s rant 1: If you ask us to respond, then set up your blog right!! I spent time to create a thoughtful post only to be blocked. Geeze.

Here’s the post, which is a rant in itself:

I don’t know how Bush, his administration, and congress can live with themselves calling estate taxes a “pocket book issue”. With the new inheritance tax passed at 1:41AM this morning, July 29, 2006 helping only those receiving more than $1,000,000 and providing a windfall of 30% to those receiving over $3,000,000 these people should drop to their knees and beg forgiveness for making such a statement.

Since the government feels they don’t need this money anyway why not pass a provision to allocate the taxes being returned to the ultra-rich to the national debt or alternate energy research instead?

Jerks.

Cheers,

Bush, congress, hate you

If you are an average American citizen then Bush, his administration, and congress hate you. How do I know this? Everything they do is targeted at removing your rights or moving money from your pocket to the pockets of corporations and the ultra-rich. Here’s one example of your money moving provided courtesy of Marc Parent and the ever so popular, and oh so pitiful, Paris Hilton.

GOP Gives Paris Hilton $91M @ 2AM!

Just imagine the good done if instead of giving this money back to the ultra-rich they decided to specifically allocate the money this change in represents to say, pay the debt, or rebuild New Orleans, or fund alternative energy research.

Bush, and congress, are disgusting

Yesterday congress passed a bill to extend, and Bush signed into law, the provisions
of the 1965 Voting Rights Act …

for 25 years. Here’s the Yahoo News story.

“In four decades since the Voting Rights Act was first passed, we’ve made progress
toward equality, yet the work for a more perfect union is never ending,” Bush said.

What a crock of shit. If we were making progress this would be an amendment to
the constitution, or at least a law of perpetuity.

“My administration will vigorously enforce the provisions of this law, and we will
defend it in court.” said Bush.

That’s an assumed position. What, you’re going to sign a bill you don’t intend to
enforce? Idiot. Plus, in the words of Ralph Neas, President of the People for the American
Way, “[Bush] owes it to all Americans that the Voting Rights Act is enforced. Unfortunately,
that is not the record of this administration — by a long shot.”

Finally, can you believe there were actually 33 members of the house that voted against it?

Man I’m pissed.

How about you?

Cheers,
J Andrew Morrison
