godot is stoned and tired from hard labor

ever notice that when attempting a good deed, one finds out who the monsters really are?

mccain is a crook and serial philanderer

the sad fact is; mccain is an acknowledged crook:

see this unfortunately well researched article:

Is John McCain a Crook?

&

John McCain is a philanderer who left his wife and children for a trophy wife.

republicans and banking

"...we haven't had a hundred billion dollar banking crisis, which will surely require a taxpayer bailout, in almost twentyyears!

Not since Reagan and Bush I de-regulated the Savings and Loan industry, while brave, straight talking, ethical Congressmen like John McCain leaned on regulators to back off from doing more.

Because, remember, as Sainted Ronny Rotten used to tell us: government is not a solution to our problems, government is the problem!

So Reagan and the Reagan Republicans took that pesky ol' gubment out of the Savings and Loan industry and let the miracle of the Free And Unfettered Market work its magic. And within a couple of years, taxpayers had to come up with one hundred and twenty billion dollars--and those are 1980s dollars--as a solution to our problem."

in case you didn't read the link...

"Contrary to the nuclear industry's propaganda, nuclear power is therefore not green and it is certainly not clean. Nuclear reactors consistently release millions of curies of radioactive isotopes into the air and water each year. These releases are unregulated because the nuclear industry considers these particular radioactive elements to be biologically inconsequential. This is not so.  

These unregulated isotopes include the noble gases krypton, xenon and argon, which are fat-soluble and if inhaled by persons living near a nuclear reactor, are absorbed through the lungs, migrating to the fatty tissues of the body, including the abdominal fat pad and upper thighs, near the reproductive organs. These radioactive elements, which emit high-energy gamma radiation, can mutate the genes in the eggs and sperm and cause genetic disease."

The incubation time for cancer is five to 50 years following exposure to radiation. It is important to note that children, old people and immuno-compromised individuals are many times more sensitive to the malignant effects of radiation than other people.

I will describe four of the most dangerous elements made in nuclear power plants:

Iodine 131, which was released at the nuclear accidents at Sellafield in Britain, Chernobyl in Ukraine and Three Mile Island in the US, is radioactive for only six weeks and it bio-concentrates in leafy vegetables and milk. When it enters the human body via the gut and the lung, it migrates to the thyroid gland in the neck, where it can later induce thyroid cancer. In Belarus more than 2000 children have had their thyroids removed for thyroid cancer, a situation never before recorded in pediatric literature.

Strontium 90 lasts for 600 years. As a calcium analogue, it concentrates in cow and goat milk. It accumulates in the human breast during lactation, and in bone, where it can later induce breast cancer, bone cancer and leukemia.

Cesium 137, which also lasts for 600 years, concentrates in the food chain, particularly meat. On entering the human body, it locates in muscle, where it can induce a malignant muscle cancer called a sarcoma.

Plutonium 239, one of the most dangerous elements known to humans, is so toxic that one-millionth of a gram is carcinogenic. More than 200kg is made annually in each 1000-megawatt nuclear power plant. Plutonium is handled like iron in the body, and is therefore stored in the liver, where it causes liver cancer, and in the bone, where it can induce bone cancer and blood malignancies. On inhalation it causes lung cancer. It also crosses the placenta, where, like the drug thalidomide, it can cause severe congenital deformities. Plutonium has a predisposition for the testicle, where it can cause testicular cancer and induce genetic diseases in future generations. Plutonium lasts for 500,000 years, living on to induce cancer and genetic diseases in future generations of plants, animals and humans."

Gore Vidal’s Article of Impeachment

"On June 9, 2008, a counterrevolution began on the floor of the House of Representatives against the gas and oil crooks who had seized control of the federal government. This counterrevolution began in the exact place which had slumbered during the all-out assault on our liberties and the Constitution itself.

I wish to draw the attention of the blog world to Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s articles of impeachment presented to the House in order that two faithless public servants be removed from office for crimes against the American people."

it is always interesting to read someone who speaks with the authentic voice of america's "founding fathers."

MCCAIN"S ATOMIC ENEMA (candidate loses mind, proposes large, cancerous, atomic enema for nation's energy woes)

i will say that i like alternative realities.   whether they are created by drugs, internet, movies, meditation, i'm in.

but this maccainian alternative reality...45 new nuclear power plants.  jesus, this sounds like the delusional rantings of an old man on large amounts of brutal medication.  what the hell is in the water down there in arizona?   mccain has always been creepy, but insane?  

tell me it ain't so leo...

this former shithead/crook is turning into a jabbering nimrod right before our very eyes.  

where do we put all these future chernobyl's? 

i've got an idea...we can build them into the wealthiest 1%'s palatial homes.  after the systematic raping of our nation's coffures by the reagan/bush/bush (dildo/snatch/pussy) administrations, they have the room.  

boy, do they have the room.

we don't even have to pay them.  just offer them a deal:

• let us place our chernobyl II where you were planning to build your "servant quarters", or
  
• pay pre-reagan taxes...on everything.
  

you know, leo, the wealthiest and most furtunate paid PROGRESSIVE TAXES back when they gave a shit about the country/government that so enriched them.

before they turned into the greedy, conniving scum that they now, inarguably, are.

ok, last post on this today...

"There are still plenty of creationists around, and there are people who believe tobacco is not linked to serious health effects, and so there are still people who choose to ignore or doubt the amount of evidence for climate change."

mccains offshore drilling hoax

It is cruel to mislead the public on a subject that matters so much to all Americans. If only we had a politician willing to engage in straight talk on this important issue.

yawn,

obituaries

i sent these links recently to remind certain people...of the power of the pen.

it's true: scum like these do not deserve a break, even in their "shameless" deaths.

to whit:

"If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin."  HST

THAT is good stuff folks...
