I don't understand the banking laws.

As we all know, drug dealers and terrorists and warlords all over the
planet can transfer millions of bucks in seconds to secret accounts in
any country, from any country.

If you want to cash a twenty dollar check, at your own branch, or
godforbid, deposit a check to your account, you have to show three
pieces of id, have a DNA sample taken, and your dental x-rays checked.

And I don't understand Homeland Security laws.

The airplane that you are about to board has seventeen tons of packages
in the cargo hold, none of which have been looked at in any manner.

And yet you have to stand in line for two hours, remove your shoes,
divest yourself of that little bottle of PeptoBismol and your tube of
Prell, undergo a strip search, and swear a loyalty oath in blood before
they let you on the plane.

How have we allowed this to happen to us?

"The Patriot Act" removes any rights The Patriots demanded for us, and delineates just how everyone qualifies to be a Traitor.

The "Forest Protection Act" declares our National Forests to be open for logging.

The "Clear Skies Act" allows manufacturers to increase emissions.

The "Clear Water Act" removes federal protection for wetlands and streams.

"Mission Accomplished" May 2, 2003. And six hundred billion dollars later, we are still there.


In 2001, oil was at twenty-five dollars a barrel. Now oil is over one hundred dollars a barrel. The National Debt is over 9 trillion dollars. Under the Fiscally Conservative President, operating for six years with a Republican Congress.






Hermann Goering:
"It is always simply a matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

But Names Could Never Hurt Me!

The Newly Anointed One states "a long resume says nothing about your character."

This is to answer folks who worry about his lack of experience.

I assume that it also means that he claims to be a man of character.

When John McCain's adviser, Kevin A. Hassett, Senior Fellow and Director of Economic Policy Studies, declares Barak Obama's economic plan to be plagiarism,

"The fact is that Obama’s [economic] plan today is the most shameless piece of potential plagiarism that I have ever seen. He basically took Clinton’s words and Clinton’s policies and called them his own. If I were a professor I’d give him an F and try to get him kicked out of school for something this terrible."

I would assume that a man of character would respond quickly to charges of plagiarism, and with great care and concern.

The response from the Man of Character?

"John McCain started attacking me on economic policy which I thought was flattering."

Flattering?? The Newly Anointed One is flattered.




“Don’t tell me words don’t matter! ‘I have a dream.’ Just words."

And when The Newly Anointed One is charged with plagiarizing this speech from Governor Patrick, the campaign responds


"The issue is a 'sideshow' that is not going to matter to real voters with real problems."




Plagiarism is a sideshow? Just ask Joe Biden or Doris Kearns Goodwin or Mike Barnicle or Jayson Blair. Trivial. Nothing to be concerned about. Honesty, integrity, character are just words. Nothing important. Just words.

Governor Patrick comes to the aid of his pal: "We're friends."



Go back and tell your arithmetic teacher that it is OK you copied those test answers, because the guy you copied from is your friend.



Just words. Nothing important.

So we have a Newly Anointed One who admits to having a short resume, but being long on character. Until a character issue comes up, when character, integrity, and honesty are dismissed as a sideshow, just words.

No experience, no character, no integrity, no honesty, and no words of his own.



What does the Newly Anointed One have going for him?

He is tall. He has a nice voice.

Maybe he should run for television commercial announcer.
