Building bubbles for Bush (money bubbles)

No, I’m not talking about the Wall Street derivatives bubble, which could pop any day and take us all over the rainbow. Or the national debt, annual budget and trade deficit bubbles which could similarly “pop” in the night and disappear the economy. No, the “bubbles” I’m referring to are laser shield bubbles for airports from the weapons vultures at Northrop Grumman, that are, according to CNN.com, “to safeguard large areas from rockets and missiles.”

Northrop, which is already sucking up some $1.5 billion a year from the US’s Bush & Company, led only by Lockheed Martin at $1.7 billion, sees a potentially “very large” market for its laser-powered system developed to shield airports and installations from rockets, ballistic missiles “and other threats.” And in “the other” is the mother of all fears.

Thus, Northrop has already pitched its laser “bubble,” also known as Skyguard, to Israel, which, not unsurprisingly, worked with Northrop and the Army to create the technology. What will they think of next, especially when Israel has started peppering Gaza with missiles and dropping bombs on Lebanon, and as the US leadership sows salt in the fields of a biblical and Koran-claimed lord?

And who knows, it could be just a hop, skip and jump to an international nuclear conflagration with Syria, Iran, perhaps even North Korea popping into the ballistic missile peppering. So it may pay to have our bubbles in a row, thinking like good world conquerors and bad men.

and a suggestion:

One solution would be to build a bubble around Bush, a literal bubble of let’s say molded Lucite or Plexiglass and seal him in it with an oxygen and food feed. Perhaps a bubble for Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, Pearle, all the never-been to war who love it so much. Unlike the man who grew up in battle, Eisenhower, and all the generals of today who urge us to abandon this folly.

Yes, build bubbles for Bush & Company, a bubble zoo, so we could go and look at them and remind ourselves of how wild they are. And then what a beautiful world it would be, as Satchmo would sing -- and without the tri-color alerts or the Trilateral Commission. Without living with fear or the fear of cowards who have never resolved their own tortured souls; men who don’t know how to live with themselves and their angst let alone a world full of others.
