COLORADO SPRINGS- We held posters that read SEIZE THE FED, JAIL NOT BAIL-OUT, FORECLOSE ON WALLSTREET, NO REWARD FOR HIGH RISK, and of course NO BUSH BAILOUT. When we got rebuttals, it went like this: “Why do you bring Bush into this? Bush doesn’t have anything to do with the bailout.” We needed to complain to Barack, apparently.

COLORADO SPRINGS- Obama lawn signs have been reported disappearing over the weekend from the city’s old north end neighborhood, along Nevada Avenue north from downtown. Very angry Obama supporters showed up first thing Monday morning at party headquarters to get replacements.

Let’s be honest: we all knew when Bush stole the election in 2000 that he would bankrupt America, and stick the taxpayers with the bill on his way out. This is about as unsurprising as discovering that the sun has set in the evening.

APUNTES DEL TIO SAM - PANCASAN Listen to the music and watch the pictures… you don’t have to understand Spanish to understand this history. Arlen Siu was the young woman seen briefly in the film and sung at times with the group whose music was played with the clip. Arlen Siu, Martyr Fighter who died trying to free her country from the US.

You don’t have to choose between a crazy fundamentalist Right Wing woman, Sarah Palin, or a slimy used car selling crook and Zionist, Joseph Biden. Check out two much better and quite different VP possibilities, Rosa Clemente and Matt Gonzalez…

One of the most pathetic figures of our times is certainly that of Mikhail Gorbachev, the Russian ‘commie’ boss who fell in love with Margaret Thatcher and Ronnie Reagan and had his love dashed on the rocks of reality. What a world class dummy (ventriloquist dummy even)! So what’s he doing almost 2 decades later?

When the Democrats were the minority they seemed so weak. Now in the Majority they’re positively wimps. Pundits tell us it’s a lack of leadership. Why would the corporate media overlook who’s at the whip? It would seem clear that the corporations writing the legislation, funding the campaigns, and paying for the free lunch, are driving the agenda. The GOP is paid to play the white hats, and when a bill is unpopular, the Dems are pushed forward to play the creeps.

We are so self centered in the US! As our government’s military deficit spending collapses the American capitalist economy we seem to forget that the crisis is a global one now. The Democratic/ Republican team have dragged down the global economy and not just our national one.

The US newspapers have hidden away a story that underlines how disgusting and irresponsible
was their spread of the anti- Muslim dvd, ‘Obsession’. I am referring to an attack on a Muslim mosque in Dayton Ohio by some thugs who sprayed chemical gas into a room full of children. Chemical irritant empties Islamic Society of Greater Dayton’s mosque

I used to think that people who voted Republican were the stupidest people on earth, now I’m beginning to suspect it’s actually the elected Democrats. Here they are railroading through a bailout that 2 out of 3 Americans oppose, and acting like they are some sort of heroes for bankrupting the American taxpayers against their will. I will never vote for a Democrat again.

I’ve got like 50¢ American, a couple of 20 peso notes and a Canadian quarter, I need about a dollar more… If I wait until next week when CitiGroup goes under I can probably get it for standing outside singing until they flip the deed my way and of course the keys.

Is the strategy to pay this ransom, then have the robbers intercepted as they make their escape? What other excuse will Democrats Pelosi and Reid offer for coming home with a bag full of 140,000,000,000 wooden nickels? That money’s gone if we don’t STOP THEM! STOP THEM NOW!

McCain’s Maverick Momement. Despite all the tooth gnashing on both the left and the right about McCain scuttling the bipartisan Wall Street bailout agreement, I believe he has in fact shown us the smartest move in the current campaign season. While 2 out of 3 Americans are adamantly opposed to a bailout, Congress — owned lock, stock and barrel by Wall Street — was ready to give the blackmailers anything they demanded. The “news” media was of course cheerleading them on, with Wall St. being their biggest customer and all. But McCain saw in those polls the others had ignored an opportunity. In a single defiant move, he gave himself “populist” cred with a majority of the population. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather kill myself than vote for McCain, but he, or at least his campaign, has shown himself smarter by half than Obama’s tepid response. Don’t be surprised if McCain’s poll numbers spike in the next few days.

Even with the official CBS transcript cleaned up, the Couric-Palin interview remains a riveting embarrassment. Fortunately online videos have archived poor Sarah Palin in all her Bush-league ignobility, if you can bear it. Don’t the Republicans appear to be unfathomable mockeries of themselves? Yet they elicit sympathy as they are seen being mocked.

McCain showed up to the OLD MISS debate wearing Dubya’s crazy strobe necktie! Diagonal stripes of particular inconvenient width create signal noise on the interlaced television picture producing mesmerizing patterns of juxtaposed RGB. What might have passed for a Technicolor wardrobe malfunction in earlier days is a deliberate fashion faux-pas today.
In the false, phony, Franglais, trompe d’oeil sense of that f-word.
