Sony said, "You said he's complicit in 9/11 in order to take power and create an imperial dynasty. But now its something else, a series of financial windfalls."

When I said Bush Jr wants to be King, I meant he wants to hold power in a way unlike a democratically elected President. He aspires to be a tyrant. Whether he wants the title or not seems irrelevant to the role of King, but my guess is he doesn't want the title of King. He just wants everything else. And from where I'm sitting, he keeps maneuvering closer & closer.

Sorry I wore you out, Sony.

Here's my question for Sony: who is General Smedley Butler and what did he do as related to Prescott Bush? Hint: Attempted coup vs FDR

Erik said, "I call bullshit -- BULLSHIT! -- on you Ari. I don't think you actually believe that. I think you like how you feel when you say things like that, like you're part of some sort of through-the-looking-glass secret society of ubernerds who have glimpsed the real Truth. ... So, to test my theory, I propose a wager. I say that there will be an orderly transition of executive power in January 2009; you say "might not happen." I will give you 200-1 odds on a $100 bet against. You could win $20,000!!! And all you have to do is stand behind your words. What's not to like?"

Erik, I'm happy to see you got excited. As for your wager, can't beat the odds. But do I really want to bet IN FAVOR of Bush' succeeding? Hell no! So I've gotta pass. I don't want to bet in favor of a Bush coup!

If you want to call BULLSHIT, I suggest you consider:
The 'terror alerts' that are posted by the WhiteHouse are BULLSHIT. Bush's lack of any immediate response (and zero accountability) on 9/11 is BULLSHIT. The illegal preemptive Iraq War is BULLSHIT. Using torture is BULLSHIT. Marvin Bush helping to 'secure' the WTC is BULLSHIT. The Patriot Act is BULLSHIT. Cheney having NORAD stand down on 9/11 is BULLSHIT.
Not impeaching Bush for a) violating Constitution, b) tampering with the vote, c) Haliburton no-bid contracts, d) taking excessive vacations while President, e) Hurricane Cathrina response negligence, f) Alberto Gonzalez, g) Valerie Plame, h) wire-tapping, i) war crimes, and more is BULLLSHIT.

Let me make one last point -- I didn't support Bill Clinton b/c he was too center line for me. But Bush/Cheney make Bill Clinton look like an amazing President by contrast. It's shocking. They almost make Reagan seem like he wasn't a senile doddering fool, and show how Quayle was a successful test-run for the Bush style of 'laughable incompetence' for leadership -- while pushing thru scandals (Reagan's was Iran-Contra, Bush's include 'the oil wars' and attacking the core of a democratic society).

So I'm passing on your bet ... in favor of HOPE.

Bush's Iraq joke -- heard it?



This snippet was a piece by the internet TV show I work on -- betterbadnews.com

Hey, did Keith Olbermann just say 'impeach Bush'? Hmmmm...
I guess there's at least one media person out there that's sorta covering some parts of the truth.

Although I'm concerned that he doesn't ever touch the 9/11 cover up.

Once you realize there was a cover up by both parties after a (semi)failed coup attempt by the right-wing 'pro-war' secret military/spy organizations of Washington with 9/11 (I just learned that 9/11 was 10 yrs after G.Bush Sr's "New World Order" message), these 'revelations' that G.Bush Jr is lying about leaving Iraq anytime soon are not quite as revelatory. I say semi-failed coup b/c the Anthrax letters seem to have succeeded in pressuring a bunch of govt people to not go after impeaching Bush.

I work on a leftwing TV show where the writer constantly asks, "Why isn't the idea that Osama Bin Laden organizing a group of hijackers from a cave in Afghanistan called a conspiracy theory? Why is it only a conspiracy theory if people say American groups were involved?"

Also, according to Occam's Razor ...
Isn't it be more likely that the same right-wing fascists in the US govt that pushed the USA into the Iraq War (#2) also coordinated 9/11? These are the same groups that profit from war and conquering foreign lands (and oil -- Operation Iraqi Liberation was the name of the attack, after all), who control the military, the media, and most of the wealth of the USA ... vs some radical extremist in Afghanistan attacking the USA?

Seems like 'the razor' cuts both ways.

Just saw another Olbermann video, this is where he says G.Bush Jr is 'the worst person on Earth', and he asks Bush & Cheney to resign now, and says "Bush has given up all rights to be President of anything other than his priviledged little cabal of weath." HA HA
