Here’s a breaking piece that show the dangers that comes with lobbyists who are not regulated.
This bullshit from 2005 is now costing us billions. Each and every one of those who part of this scheme should be put on their knees and shot.
‘Nuff said.

Dear Conservatives, Will You Help Save the Republic from Military Takeover?
Here is a warning from Naomi Wolf, author of the “Shock Doctrine”, concerning the Bush Administration’s latest moves to possibly take away the freedoms that all Americans should enjoy. It is a scary scenario and is already being played out on small, but important levels.
Read the missive here.
And of course here’s a small snippet of said missive to get you to read the piece Gentle Readers-
“I warned that within six months we would see the definition of “terrorist” expanded so that the “terrorists” in the news would soon look like heartland, mainstream Americans. We now hear that mere protesters at the RNC in Minnesota have been charged as terrorists.”
This is not the vision of America I was raised to believe in. It is NOT what the Founders desired. This is a gun pointed at every one of our heads whether we agree or not with the Ruling Elite. We can become prisoners in a 50 State prison. The Constitution will become meaningless and our precious freedoms and rights will be stripped from us.
Instead of being a Free people, we will become serfs.
As Patrick Henry put it, “Give me Liberty, or give me death”. I agree with his statement with every fiber of my Being with him.
Benjamin Franklin said when asked wheteher the Founders had created a Republic or a Monarchy, he responded, “A Republic, if you can keep it”.
We must keep our Republic alive.

NOLA City League Pool Tourney
Alright kidz… On Wednesday night, 10/15/08, we and our team will be defending the honor of the Starlight against one of Fahey’s teams. The battle starts at 7:30, or whenever enough of us arrive.
Hie thy tushes to Fahey’s and see if there is major carnage (I plan on it). Betts and I will be shooting, and we are the Phouka’s own whelps. Ya’s never know what we will pull out against the OTHERS. We are going to attempt to bring our team in for the kill, but one never knows the results until it’s over.
No matter what, it’s a meet-up. Come on in Darlin’s.
No More McDonalds For Moi
Last March I was tickled pink (of course) over McDonalds decision to make a donation to the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC. I ended an eight year hiatus of eating their junk food in order to be supportive of the company’s outreach to the LGBT community.
Today I must swear off spending money at McDonalds- They caved to the American Family Association’s (AFA) boycott concerning the “The Big Mac attack on family values.” The Church of Our Lady of Gentilly has now black-listed McDonalds.
I guess that the rabid cross-bearing fanatics eat mainly fast food, because that boycott would not have worked if they frequented these kinds of eateries in a manner which intelligent people do- which is rarely. These people must be so short on time to home-cook meals due to their rabid attracts on anything/one that does not swallow their Cultural donkey poop.
I guess I’ll just have to wait until clogged arteries and obesity claim the fools at the AFA. (Maybe this is McDonalds secret and cunning plan- kill the Religious Reich by poisoning them. One can only hope…)

Is 2012 The End of the World ?
Well, there are those mystics who believe that something fantastic will occur in late August ’12. It is to be an Awakening that will move us forward in Enlightenment. There are others who think it means the end of the World. Since I have a metaphysical bent and love pouring over the information from all sides of the debate, I side with the former.
Late last night I was nodding off at the ‘puter and then a Terrible visage/message appeared in my vision- “Palin 2012″. ‘Twas scary… take a look-
Is this the Great Beast talked about (ad nauseum) in the Book of Revelations? I know it’s supposed to arrive from the East, but what if that was the origination point and not the travel route. It could cross the Bering Straits and sneak in our back door. (You betcha! wink,wink)
A Warning from the Church of Our Lady of Gentilly- Break out your black candles, sea salt and sage. Hie thee to an armory and choose thy sword. The Great Beast Palinix is slouching it’s way to Washington. I can see her oil smokes from here…

“Sterilize the Poor” Rep. Bumped From House Committee
Well our boy “Eugenics” LaBruzzo over in Jefferson Parish just got spanked for his B/S over his sterilize poor folks on Welfare-
“Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, who created a public furor last month with his proposal to pay poor women to be sterilized, was removed Monday from his position as vice chairman of the House Health and Welfare Committee.”
The Fuckmook is getting what he rightly deserves.

T Minus 4 Hours And Counting…
as we wait with baited breath to witness the greatest humiliation of our time- Gov. Sarah Palin “does” a Debate.
This will be light years better than Sen. Ted Stevens’ “explanation” of the Intertoobs and how they work a few years back. (I thought that one was pretty stupid, and damn have I seen stupid in my time, but Palin is going to set a new high, or is that low, in this field.)
As Dan Quayle put it twenty years ago, “What a waste it is to lose a mind. Or not to have a mind is very wasteful. How true that is.”. Is rampant Republican stupidity a cyclical thing? Or is it just an inherent trait?
Maybe Dan Quayle was a prophet- “People that are very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.”
Frankly, I like weirdness “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”, but I don’t apply that to politics, only to living. I expect my politicians I elect to support their constituency, to actually BE OUR REPRESENTATIVES in Washington. After all, this is a participatory democracy and most of us can’t just fly to D.C. on a whim. I want someone better than myself to be my voice, or at least listen to it and ponder what I, and the others that make up our community, actually need under the Social Contract for our communities.
I don’t see this with either McCain or Palin. Or actually, I see these two clowns as representatives of an America I never believed in and not the one I fought for-
“The defining moment for me came shortly after Palin and her family stepped down from the stage to uproarious applause, looking happy enough to throw a whole library full of books into a sewer. In the crush to exit the stadium, a middle-aged woman wearing a cowboy hat, a red-white-and-blue shirt and an obvious eye job gushed to a male colleague they were both wearing badges identifying them as members of the Colorado delegation at the Xcel gates.
“She totally reminds me of my cousin!” the delegate screeched. “She’s a real woman! The real thing!”
I stared at her open-mouthed. In that moment, the rank cynicism of the whole sorry deal was laid bare. Here’s the thing about Americans. You can send their kids off by the thousands to get their balls blown off in foreign lands for no reason at all, saddle them with billions in debt year after congressional year while they spend their winters cheerfully watching game shows and football, pull the rug out from under their mortgages, and leave them living off their credit cards and their Wal-Mart salaries while you move their jobs to China and Bangalore.
And none of it matters, so long as you remember a few months before Election Day to offer them a two-bit caricature culled from some cutting-room-floor episode of Roseanne as part of your presidential ticket. And if she’s a good enough likeness of a loudmouthed middle-American archetype, as Sarah Palin is, John Q. Public will drop his giant-size bag of Doritos in gratitude, wipe the Sizzlin’ Picante dust from his lips and rush to the booth to vote for her. Not because it makes sense, or because it has a chance of improving his life or anyone else’s, but simply because it appeals to the low-humming narcissism that substitutes for his personality, because the image on TV reminds him of the mean, brainless slob he sees in the mirror every morning.”
Curtsey to Matt Taibbi for a description of this part of the electorate that I could not have said better.
Tonight’s debate will be a commentary on the true Culture War that is raging in this country- between those who try to make this country a good place to live and those cretinous myth-enslaved, unenlightened, stuck in the Past crackers that don’t have, and never will, a clue about Reality. A clash between the Spirits of the Future and the moronic inferno of the Past.
So at the Zero Hour, I’ll be downing a bottle of wine, some escargot and canapes as the Elitist bitch I supposedly am, and I’m going to witness the horrors that mirror much of the American people’s souls. Then I will hang my head, tears flowing for the country I was raised to believe in and respect. My soul aches for what the Repugs have done to our Nation since 1980, and I will never forgive them and their supporters.
Here’s another take on Palin and tonight’s debate that caught my eye.
