September 26, 2007



Under the radar, quietly hidden behind his disastrous foreign policy failures and trillion-dollar bloody affair in Iraq, the U.S. economy under Bush’s fiscal “leadership” is a speeding train heading into a brick wall. So far the major news networks have only been reporting on this around the fringes, but that’s about to change as recession and perhaps full-blown depression are looming around the corner.

Alex S. Gabor, writing for The American Chronicle put it this way: “Bush's military adventurism, not to mention his administration's exorbitant tax cuts for the wealthy, gutted the surplus of $128 billion Clinton handed him in 2001 into a deficit of well over $1 trillion today. Bush has simultaneously increased the national debt by over $3 trillion effectively nailing each and every US citizen with a bill for almost $30,000. The foreign bankers know that its time to wean America off its free debt ride and that any further debt will never be repaid. The greatest (Ponzi) scheme in the history of mankind is rapidly, within the next decade, completely unwinding.”

Want more good news? The U.S. unemployment rate is climbing, as is the poverty rate, there’s almost no such thing as an American manufacturing job, the personal savings rate is at a negative number, big corporations continue to ship jobs overseas with no restrictions or oversight, mortgage companies are going bankrupt, and the home ownership rate is at its lowest point in two decades. Worse, increasing numbers of foreclosures are depressing home prices all over the U.S., adding to the buildup of unsold inventory and further harming the already damaged housing market.

Meanwhile, despite recent rate cuts by the Fed, the dollar has fallen to par with the Canadian dollar with no bottom in sight. The national debt is now beyond $10 trillion. Foreign bankers have been shifting from dollar denominated oil contracts into Euro denominated exchanges such as the one recently established in Iran, and gradually shifting out of the US Treasury market along with the Chinese who have already shifted billions out of dollar denominated assets.

US taxpayers have spent over $450 billion on Iraq alone, while Bush/Cheney cronies continue making a killing from military contracts. Bush says he’s plenty capable of “being wise about the money.” ‘Fraid not Chucklenutz. You're not equal to managing a lemonade stand, much less the (formerly) largest economy on the planet. You've never been wise about anything and managing the huge budget surpluses Clinton left in your greasy hands is no exception.

We’re in serious financial trouble, Truthseekers. We’ll talk about it tonight.

6. Hey there folks

I am in the dumps over the upcoming war with Iran

Perhaps we should give the war party members rifles and send them to lead the charge... mother fuckers

[cal04]

10. hi nadinbrzezinski

Send them and their children if they want to go to war
:hug: :hi:

[smokey nj]

15. Hi nadinbrzezinski!!!!

:hi: :hug:
I'm livid about today's vote. I hope it kills HRC's candidacy.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Dodd or biden, they had the spine to vote against this

and I am sure when this piece of crap comes up in the house, Kucinich will also vote against it

[tnlefty]

54. From your keyboard to... well, wherever!

I'm sure that her camp is trying to figure triangulation damage control and they will spin it to be something other than the steaming pile of ^*#@ that it is. Some of the dems who voted for this really stunned me, I'm trying to figure out why, but stunned I was/am.

[smokey nj]

57. They're complicit, there's no other explanation.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

8. hi cal04! hi truthseekers!!

:hi: :hug:

[smokey nj]

34. I'm doing ok, thanks!!

Your wonderful parody gave me a much needed smile. :hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

58. If there's a better reason to write than that

I haven't found one yet.

She smiled a much needed smile.

I rests my case yeronner ;)

49. Hey SCE!!

You master re-lyricist, you! :toast: :bounce: :hi:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

53. hi tnlefty!!

It was a great pace/scribble/pace/curse/pace/scribble fest :rofl:

:hi: :hug:

[tnlefty]

67. One of my last rewrites from a couple of yrs. ago, when I say a

headline in the BBC with angry Iraqi's pictured and the headline read "Yanks Go Home"

To the tune of Yankee Doodle - clearing throat -

Yankee Bush went to Iraq with no inhibition
Stuck the Poodle up his butt, and called it a coalition

Yankee Bushie, keep it, keep those missiles handy
GOPers in lockstep
Armageddon will be dandy!

Nothing as intensive as yours, and I'm a bit envious! :hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

83. Oh now, that was cool!!

:hug:

Have fun! I only have that rule ;)

[Graybeard]

13. Hi cal04 & Truthseekers!

And the beat goes on. War drums! More war, more war, more war. :banghead:

Other than that, how are things with you?

:hi: :hippie: :grouphug:

[cal04]

17. hi Graybeard

We need to stop these people from more war
:hug: :hi:

[smokey nj]

23. Hi Graybeard!!!!!

:hi: :hug:
I'm doing ok, thanks. I'm really sick of being pissed off all the time. I think it's worse now than it was before the November elections, at least then there was some hope.

[tnlefty]

26. Hey Graybeard!

I'm beyond banging my head, wine is less damaging, I guess, and my head feels better! :hi: The events of the last 2 weeks have me more than down.

[tnlefty]

14. Hey cal04 and Fellow Truthseekers!!

I think I was rec #3. Hoping everyone is doing well! :hi: :hug:

Raise hell, Mike, all of this is such an outrage!

[cal04]

19. hi tnlefty

thank you
:hug: :hi:

[tnlefty]

37. Hey cal04!

Glad to see that the puppy and school are well! I heard the clip of Dimson** when he visited the NYC school and I almost wrecked the car. Whenever that dipshit talks about education, with or without the glaring grammatical errors, I just become enraged!

[smokey nj]

Hi tnlefty!!!!!

:hi: :hug:

[tnlefty]

41. Hey smokey nj!!!

Hoping all is well with you! I'm pulling my hair out over the votes of today, and in the continuum, the past 6 years, but I'm trying to muddle along. I think that I may be attending my 2nd gun lesson soon! :hi: :hug:

[smokey nj]

45. Hi tnlefty!!!!!

:hi: :hug:
I'm livid. I was curious to see how Randi was going to spin today's vote, but she called in sick. I guess she needed time to memorize talking points.

[tnlefty]

72. Ha ha!

Her head may be spinning so much from the spin she's expected to deliver that she really did get sick! I was on the phone today with a friend in GA, and he hasn't been able to listen to her for a while - he calls me to ask what she's been talking about since - and he asked if she was sick from carrying so much water for the dems from his experience when he could listen to her! He really likes her, but realizes that she sometimes tries to put lipstick on a pig for them dems.

[smokey nj]

75. I think that's why she's been so belligerent lately. Deep down she knows

that the callers who've been criticizing Dems are right, and she can't handle it.

[tnlefty]

93. But, but I've heard her yelling at people who call in claiming

they're calling their sens. and reps., writing, e-mailing, etc., seems like some sort of superiority complex or perhaps a combination?

[smokey nj]

98. She's screaming at people to call repuke sens and reps. She thinks

we should give the Democrats in Congress huge pats on the back for the half-assed job they're doing.

[ralps]

117. IMO smokey nj we need to be even harder on the Turncoat Democrats than the

Repukes. The Democrats should know better!! but they don't!! Grrr :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :grr:

[smokey nj]

118. Exactly, and as far as I'm concerned they've done a piss poor job thus far.

The "leadership" (I used quotes because I haven't actually seen much leadership) needs to put pressure on the blue dogs and the rest of the turncoats to fall in line because they make the rest of the party look awful.

[tnlefty]

132. Good evening ralps!!

Hoping that you're doing well! :hi: :hug:

Complicity comes to my mind, and it won't help them in '08. The 'reformed' repugs that I come into contact with are sick of the concept of "playing politics", and supported the dems, who they now view as "playing politics" as opposed to doing the correct thing(s).

Hell, the only argument that I have left, besides the repukes being obstructionists, which they they are, is pointing out the half-assed democrats, and I don't have a problem identifying them as such anymore!

[ralps]

145. Hi tnlefty, We're doing good, How are you all doing?

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[MARCUSCO]

25. Good Evening Fellow Truthseekers.

Well, is this going to be a trend every week until 2009, that congress will put up a time-wasting amendment up to kill off our first amendment rights??

:shrug:


It's never ends!

[smokey nj]

32. Hi MARCUSO!!!!!

:hi: :hug:

28. Hello truthseekers! Maybe we ought to look

to the Buddhist Monks for inspiration, I love how they are standing up the military junta in Burma. Just say no to war.

[cal04]

35. hi MikeNearMcChord

:hug: :hi:
I can't believe what's going on there, very sad and frightening

[smokey nj]

36. Hi MikeNearMcChord!!!!!

:hi: :hug:

[MzNov]

30. Hi Truthseekers!! Are there only about 23% of us out here, able to see

what the FUCK is going on in this country??????

These votes are showing us once and for all how these Senators and House members just do not get it. They've stabbed the netroots in the back, especially new members who were helped so much by groups like MoveOn.

Are there only about 25% of us???? It's very depressing.


:hi: :hug:

:rant:

:banghead:


but how are you cal04,,,,, fine I hope!!

[cal04]

39. hi Ms. November

I was glad to see Bill Clinton tell CNN that the pukes are a bunch of hypocrites after what they did to Max Cleland and Kerry
I'm doing good thanks, how are you?
:hug: :hi:

[MzNov]

48. yeah, but where was he when the pukes were swiftboating

everyone???

Oh, I'm thorough disgusted and just want to check out of the whole political thing...

As much of an activist as I want to be, I'm thinking, what's the use???

But otherwise.... OK :rofl:

:hi:

[smokey nj]

43. Hi Ms. November!!!!!!

:hi: :hug:

I'm really fucking tired of being taken for granted. Things like what happened today are why I voted for Nader in 1996 and 2000. :grr:

[MzNov]

51. Hi smokey nj !!!!

:hi: :hug:

How are the critters?? :hug:s to all the gang!

:loveya:

I am so so sick of these "Democrats". And I hope HRC can and will be stopped !!!! I would even vote for Hagel if we were voting today. :-) Only if we get huge majorities in the House and Senate :-) But nevermind. Those are the people I'm furious with. :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:


:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[smokey nj]

55. The fuzzy brothers are doing fine. Skid got his last pill this morning

:woohoo:
How are my CA kitty buddies doing?

I hope today's vote kills HRC's candidacy. I'm really starting to think, if she does get the nomination, I'm not voting in '08.

82. Hey Ms. November!!

I think that I see it, but then again I really need my post 45 eye exam! I'll probably see it more clearly post-exam, but that will only put me even more out of touch with those around me!

Hope you're doing well! :hi: :hug:

87. Hi tnlefty !!!

My eyes get worse every year. It's these darn computers!!!

:hi:

[tnlefty]

116. Heh, when I was pregnant with child *1 I went in to have my

vision checked, even though I had read that it's common for vision to change during pregnancy, but I thought that I was going blind! I was berated by the techs who stated, 'my vision doesn't correct to 20/25 with glasses/lenses'. Glossy paper is a killer, and I'm so glad that The Nation hits my mailbox on recycled, flat paper as I can read it much better! :rofl:

Distance vision is fine, it's the close up, small print on glossy paper that is giving me a fit! :hi: :hug:

Mr. c's fine too!:rofl:

[MzNov]

70. Hey catnapper!

:hi:

[spiderpig]

78. Hi there, Ms. N!

Well, I've joined the noble ranks of the unemployed. So much for my wonderful, ideal employer.

As Mr. c says, "Bastages!"

:hi::hug:

[MzNov]

88. Oh no catnapper!!!

I'm so sorry! I don't want to pry, so feel free to rant if needed. Do you have any replacements in mind???

:-(

:hi: :hug:

:hug:s to the critters!

[spiderpig]

97. You're a Truthseeker! You're not prying, you're being a bud!

I took a week's vacation to go to the DC protest, and on returning to work they called me in and told me my position was eliminated. Cute, huh? The gratifying thing has been the genuine concern and outrage of my fellow staff. They've been calling and emailing for 2 solid days with messages of concern and support. I must've done something right!

:hi::hug:

[MzNov]

107. I'm appalled. That is just an outrage.

Good on all of your buds and co-workers!! Nice to know people really support you.

Let me know if I can do anything! I'm an expert at creating resumes. LOL

:hi: :hug:

[spiderpig]

123. That's real good of you, Ms. N, and I will ask for your help.

Job-hunting has changed a lot since the LAST CENTURY, when I was in the market!:eyes:

Had it been my previous employer, a major airline, it would have gone with the territory. They were always cutting staff, but you had recall rights and usually an option for transfer (how I ended up in Texas and New York!) or part-time. This time, it's personal. I'm majorly pissed.

But I have you guys to vent with!:grouphug:

[MzNov]

You probably have a good legal case, in spite of "at-will" employment.

People can still sue. We'll have to find you a good legal eagle. :-)

[cal04]

71. hi catnapper

:hug: :hi:

[spiderpig]

79. Hi cal04!

:hug::hi:

[tnlefty]

76. Hey catnapper!! Where the hell have you been?

Or is that where the hell have I been? :hi: :hug:

[spiderpig]

84. tnlefty, you ol' rabblerouser!

I returned to work Monday morning, having gone to the DC protests last week, to be told my job had been eliminated. So I've been on the phone commiserating with friends and (former) coworkers while simultaneously consuming large quantities of Napa Valley's finest. So life ain't all bad!:toast::hug:

[tnlefty]

100. Well, just holy shit!

Are you gonna be okay? Why was your job eliminated (I know I shouldn't ask)? Jeeeze. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[spiderpig]

119. tnlefty, you can ask me anything - you know that!

Over 12 years I've survived numerous staff reductions. Even when they cut a department I worked in, they'd shift me to another area, knowing I'd just kick in and learn the new job (which was pretty cool because I picked up a helluva skill set).

Not this time. Although this time the staff cuts consisted of just one. No offer of reduced hours or alternate placement - just "where's your parking pass?"

Incidentally, I was the oldest person on the office payroll (but not near retirement) and due for an additional week of vacation next year. Oh yeah, and I've become politically active.

Jerks. Never thought I'd say that about them, but I've been calling them worse for a few days now!!!

We'll be OK. I just vetted my updated resume with another former employee, and she pronounced it suitably glowing without being overly smarmy.

You guys on this thread are my lifeline!

:grouphug:

[smokey nj]

121. You might want to look into age descrimination.

When I was serving time in HR and they had a "RIF," by law they had to provide every victim (my word) who was over 40 a breakdown of every other victim by age. I'm not sure if it was federal law or state law, but maybe you should look into it.

[spiderpig]

129. Weird, isn't it?

This afternoon I responded to a concerned work-friend that (Anonymous) was now officially the Oldest Employee in the Office and that she should remind him of it daily. I was kidding, but I wasn't kidding.

[smokey nj]

131. Seems like an awfully strange coinky-dink to me.

I say you go all Lester Burnham ont their asses.

[tnlefty]

124. When will the assault on workers end?

I have some neighbors who moved here from Ohio, and I asked what brought them to TN (they're both older than I and mr. lefty). She got a pained look on her face, and mumbled something about after having been downsized 3 times, they'd moved here to be closer to one of their daughters.

Politically active and due for another week of vacation? The bastards!

You wouldn't believe the numbers of people who have moved here from FL during the past 6-8 months!

I hope that you'll be okay! :hug: :hug: :hug:

[spiderpig]

135. I'm fine. Sad at how a once-protective employer has devolved,

but them's the breaks. I have a lot of friends and contacts who are more shocked and pissed-off than I think I am. They've all said "Man, if they'd do that to YOU, nobody's safe!"

I'm concerned about Mr. catnapper, though, because he's so furious he's ready to come unglued. Poor thing. He's Boston-Irish and when he perceives injustice there's just no controlling him, the sweetie.

73. Malloy & Truthseekers better any day than candidate chatter.

BTW, my pumpkin pickles taste fabulous!!!!!
http://syllabub.blogspot.com/ (scroll down) I made the egg recipe too. It was very interesting but a bit salty for my taste. Will make again at Christmas with less salt. yummy.

80. hi gumby

:hug: :hi:
thanks for the link and the recipes

[smokey nj]

81. Hi gumby!!!!!

:hi: :hug:
My dad went through a pickling phase for a while there and I think I remember him doing eggs. He kind of cheated, he would buy huge jars of pickles and when they were finished he'd just throw other things in.

90. Halliburton in Burma: "pipleline projects led to crimes against humanity".

...WASHINGTON - Lawyers for victims of human rights abuses committed by the military regime in Burma claim that the Republican Party's vice presidential nominee was involved in a company that assisted in energy projects in Burma associated with violent human rights abuses.

Republican vice presidential candidate Dick Cheney said Tuesday night's presidential debate made clear the choice between his running mate George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore. Cheney is shown speaking during the Republican National Convention August 2, 2000 in Philadelphia. (Khue Bui/Reuters)

Until he was selected as vice presidential candidate for the Republican ticket, Dick Cheney headed the energy giant Halliburton, which activists say owned a subsidiary which helped construct two pipelines that involved the forcible relocation of villages, forced labour, rape and murder.

''Halliburton partners and subsidiaries, both before and during Dick Cheney's tenure as CEO, have been contractors for pipeline projects that have led to crimes against humanity in Burma,'' says Katie Redford, a human rights lawyer with EarthRights.

The military government in Burma, also known as Myanmar, has long been considered one of the world's most abusive regimes. The United States and the European Union have imposed economic sanctions against the country due to the military's human rights abuses....

120. Everyone's doing fine. Russert is the big loser IMO.

I can see Mike's frustrations with Hillary, but hope he restrains himself a bit. She would sure be miles better than any Repuke.

126. He's a drooling idiot and should be put in a rubber room.

[spiderpig]

127. About that last * soundbyte -

If he wasn't sloshed out of his mind, he needs to be committed. Oh, hell - * needs to be committed someplace, somehow, just get him out of the WH!:banghead:

[smokey nj]

128. He needs to be fitted for a straight jacket.

[MzNov]

130. I would just love to see this SCHIP bill pass. Override this

moron's veto and just say NO for once!!! I don't think it will happen. Lame cowards and Blue dogs make me :puke:

[smokey nj]

133. It probably won't even make it to the Chimp's desk, considering

how in the Senate 40 is now a majority. If Harry the jellyfish had any brains (which he doesn't) he'd make the pukes actually filibuster and actually debate WHY children shouldn't have health care.

[spiderpig]

136. Opposite World. Through the Looking-Glass.

Wake me when it's over. Why are so many willing to give up so much to a self-serving few?

To call them sheep and lemmings is an insult to the animal world.:shrug:

[smokey nj]

137. I'm starting to think they're collaborators.

[spiderpig]

138. What did they do with collaborators in WWII?

Didn't they shave their heads?

Just sayin'.

[proud patriot]

134. Hi Ms. November

I'll keep hoping with you . It would be wonderful
if they would tell little lord pissypants NO !

[spiderpig]

140. Elderly can't afford their meds, children don't have health care

New Orleans is a ghost town,

and these jerks in Congress have nothing better to do than pass a resolution against A NEWSPAPER AD????????????????????

Everyone who voted for this piece of shit should have their asses ridden out of town on a rail.:mad:

[smokey nj]

141. I couldn't agree more, catnapper.

[spiderpig]

142. Remember the old meme "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem"?

Help me out here...what's the solution? I don't know what to do?:shrug:

[smokey nj]

143. I wish I knew. I guess we can all vote against incumbents in the primaries.

Even if we don't beat them, maybe we can scare them into not taking our votes for granted.

[cal04]

146. I agree with you catnapper

why the hell aren't they talking about fixing New Orleans and sending money to put a LEVEE instead of sending it to Iraq. That makes me soooo mad.
Why the hell don't they worry about helping their OWN country first

[spiderpig]

149. And where is the outrage, cal04?

I know we're all basically peaceable and freedom-loving types - but most of the US population appears to have Stockholm Syndrome. How long can you deal with abuse and not react? I'm stunned!

Lotus-eaters. Enablers. Brain-dead zombies.

(sigh)

[smokey nj]

148. I get so fucking insulted when I hear HRC referred to as a liberal.

[spiderpig]

155. She's a Borg

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

[jmatthan]

151. Goodnight to you folks

Another great show.

Will go for my morning walk soon after the show.

152. I think we all need a little funny today. Check out this Onion article.

WASHINGTON, DC—In an unexpected move that shocked White House staff and stunned the nation, President George W. Bush arrived unannounced at the Oval Office Monday.

Bush, who flew in from his home in Texas, was greeted by security forces upon landing outside the White House, and quickly escorted through the building's back entrance. Wearing a special suit-and-tie uniform intended to boost morale and show support for men and women serving in the Beltway, Bush entered the East Room at about 3:30 p.m. and addressed a bewildered but enthusiastic crowd of staff members.

"Am I late?" Bush joked to the group of approximately 200, who were led to believe they would be attending a ceremony to honor Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters. Bush's entrance received a standing ovation.

"It is incredible to see firsthand what you brave men and women do every day," Bush said to rousing applause. "You are all heroes."

Telling the group he wished he had the time to work alongside each and every one of them, Bush made general inquiries about conditions at the executive mansion, recruitment of new personnel, and where everyone was eating for lunch. <snip>
