Other than giving McCain money, I'm not sure what else to do; but Americans need at least four more years of the George H.W. Bush gang to learn a most important lesson. This is not tongue-in-cheek. I mean every word of it. I do not want the idiots who supported Bush and his lies to benefit from Barack Obama's visions and love of country. I would much rather see the United States slide into a 1929 type of depression. Americans have grown fat, arrogant, and heartless, and nothing known to science can cure that mentality better than total humiliation and severe depression. The suicides of Generation X would make the 4,000 dead soldiers look even more insignificant than they already are.

While working in the back alleys and sewers of the US federal government requires one to do a lot of ungodly things, there are times when having a license to kill gives you a feeling of being godlike. Going through some boxes in storage, I found a letter from an associate of mine who shared this interesting story with me about one of his off-duty jobs.

Dear Bob: Since I had nothing in particular to do until my next assignment, I decided to tour the Appalachian Mountains, having heard you talk so much about the beautiful scenery and the people in this area being more comical than a barrel of monkeys.

Oil prices up on word US ship fired on boats in Persian Gulf

The news was enough to send light, sweet crude for June delivery up to $119.55 before the contract retreated to settle up $2.46 at $118.52 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The thugs, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and their cohorts are pushing really hard. It's doubtful that there's enough courage left in the World to hang them, but you never know.

While Obama, Clinton, and McCain tell their flag-waving supporters about what a wonderful country we have and they all sing out "God Bless America", these politicians know, if the others don't, that at that very moment evil is taking place in Guantanamo Prison and in a half dozen other prisons as it did in Abu Ghraib.

Let us all be grateful that this Jehovah, like Allah, is only a paper god, because a god who went to the trouble to carve the Ten Commandments in stone would make it clear to us that it was not the Ten Suggestions that Moses brought down from Mount Sinai.

Where was the mystery in how the presidential primary would turn out in Pennsylvania? Do these people want change? Are you kidding, they are scared to death of the word change. No better example of their small minds is the fact they hate NAFTA, but voted for one whose husband is on Colombia's NAFTA payroll, not to mention her campaign manager's efforts in behalf of NAFTA. They say their number one concern is the economy still they voted for Clinton whose campaign is not only broke, but in debt while her opponent has a surplus. Bush and Cheney herded them like sheep in 2000 and 2004, but neither Bush nor Cheney is black and neither of them is stuck with the name Hussein.

"I don't hate predators. If there weren't hawks in this country, those in other countries would show up here. Do not misinterpret Hawk to mean I approve of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney and their Hermann Goering protégés in the Pentagon. Bush is a mouth and a pen; he's in a different league altogether than his vice president. Cheney is a vulgar, immoral, sadistic subhuman."

"With pomp and grandeur you parade your selection of omnipotence pass where I stand to center stage as if I were not there. What has this little boy of Mine done that warrants you kneeling and honoring him so? You carefully adjust his robe and provide him with nourishment leaving me to look after Myself.

"Today I waited for you to give this holy one of yours a handful of dirt and ask him to make you a child or even a mustard seed out of it. What has this holy man done that you have witnessed that I haven't?

BAGHDAD - A company of government troops in Sadr City retreated when they came under attack from Shiite militiamen who used the cover of a sandstorm, police said Friday.

On Friday, the Mahdi Army urged government troops to desert and described Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government as "just like Saddam's."

No truer words have ever been spoken. This American puppet, Nouri al-Maliki is exactly like the American puppet, Saddam Hussein. One just simply must adore the warmongering hypocrites in the United States.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About 300,000 U.S. troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or depression, but about half receive no care, an independent study said on Thursday.

Wait, there's more good news about how this Commander-in-Chief and his butt boys in the Pentagon support our troops.

FRESNO, Calif. AP - Forced to leave the combat zone after his two brothers died in the Iraq war, Army Spc. Jason Hubbard faced another battle once he returned home: The military cut off his family's health care, stopped his G.I. educational subsidies and wanted him to repay his sign-up bonus.

With pomp and grandeur you parade you selection of omnipotence pass where I stand to center stage as if I were not there.

Today I waited for you to give this holy one of yours a handful of dirt and ask him to make you a child or even so much as a mustard seed out of it. What has this holy man done that you have witnessed that I haven't?
