Red Storm Rising
Filed Under War & Politics | Leave a Comment
As if Decider George hadn’t done enough carnage for a couple dozen adminstrations, now the policies he and his cohorts have concocted and implemented may finally whip-up some real-nasty dung.
Yesterday, Russia’s own Vadimir V. Putin (probably the perfect snicker last name, a name out of a Will Ferrell/Ben Stiller/early Woody Allen comedy) gave a speech commemerating the 62th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany and within that articulation, a comparsion of current US maneuverings with Hitler’s operation.
Putin (I can’t even think the name without a snicker) has chewed on the US the last six months, but not much emphasis was placed on it by most of the Western, mainstream press. In another speech Feb. 10 in Munich, he labeled the US foreign policy in pre-Berlin Wall, Cold War/Dr. Strangelove language: “One single center of power: One single center of force. One single center of decision making. This is the world of one master, one sovereign.”
Despite a supposedly ending to the cold war, Putin’s battle-commemoration speech Wednesday, sounded like a ‘new boss, same as the old boss’ routine. “Moreover, in our time these threats are not diminishing,’ he reportedly said, according to nytimes. com. “They are only transforming, changing the appearance. In these new threats, as during the time of the Third Reich, have the same contempt for human life and the same laws of exceptionality and diktat (authoritative and dogmatic statements) in the world.”
In the story on nytimes.com, the word “obliquely” was used to describe how Putin put the ID on the US – or indirectly. However, nothing but bad news on another front, a new front in a war from the ravaged towns in Kansas to the ravaged towns in Iraq.
Decider George is hands-down the worst president in the history of this republic, his adminstration the most incompetent, but yet the most arrogant group of people ever to come down America’s political pike.
Just take the revolving news today: Thursday, May 10
- New information has come out about the White House witholding vital e-mails in the nasty, never-ending, slop-job of a scandal now called in some quarters as Attorneygate;
- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said the White House did discuss the firings of the eight (now nine) US attorneys by the Justice Department, a contradiction to earlier statements;
- Reported that 11 GOP senators gave Decider George a dressing down on Tuesday on the war in Iraq and if things don’t change, they (the GOP) would not only lose the White House, but Congress and the entire freaking country and, above all, Decider George, all announcements about the Iraqi war should come from somewhere else besides the White House, the place has lost all creditability on the subject;
- Near 40 percent of Americans approve of a Decider George impeachment;
- Approval ratings down to 28 percent, more than two-thirds of Americans hate his freaking guts;
- Ex-chief-of staff for ex-Secretary of State Colin Powell, Lawrence Wilkerson, claims the bad deeds of Wild Bill Clinton “pale in significance” to the “high crimes and misdemeanors” of Decider George and Dufus Dick Chaney;
- Dufus Dick’s mid-week trip to Iraq a bust — Curses, shitfire, failed again — and didn’t really help the cause. While saysing “progress is being made,” a mortar round pops into Baghdad’s wonderful, safe-haven Green Zone. Whether of not he convinced the Iraqi parliamment not to take two-month vacation during the summer while US troops and civilians are being slaughtered is still in question;
- Decider George on a talk with reporters in Greensburg, Kan., on Wednesday, wouldn’t respond to a question about the national Guard’s ability to handle emergencies due to men and equipment being squandered in Iraq – he paced away from the microphones without answering the question, obviously heard on television, like a smug, little boy whose hand was finally caught in the cookie jar.
Decider George and Dufus Dick better enjoy it while they freaking can.
Dufus Dick In Dreamland
Filed Under Mad as Hell, War & Politics | Leave a Comment
Dufus Dick Cheney flew into Baghdad early this morning, wearing a fashion-conscious bullet-proof garment under his sport coat, which at first glimpse, looked a lot like a nice, cordoroy vest. Dufus Dick is in Iraq to try and stir up some freaking success without lying about it.
He couldn’t find any so he lied. “Everyone realizes there are still serious security issues, problems, threats,” Dufus Dick reportedly said, “but the impression I got talking with them (Iraqis/Americans in Baghdad), and this includes the military, is they do believe we are making progress.”
And according to CNN: “Meanwhile, a mortar round landed in Baghdad’s Green Zone during Cheney’s visit.” Meanwhile?! The Iraqi people are living in a day-to-day hell and Dufus Dickhead said progress is being made.
Windows rattled and the sound of the explosion could be heard from where Dufus Dick was dicking around. Reporters covering the dickmeister were moved to a safe location. The big dick himself, however, stood his ground. He really has no personal clue. “I have to rely on reports, because obviously, I’ve spent the day here, basically, in our embassy in the Green Zone,” he was quoted as saying.
Dufus Dick needs to get out more. See the sights. Take a little stroll through a Baghdad marketplace like the moron-jackboot John McCain. Hell, Dufus Dick already has the vest in place and why not put it to some good use. Maybe a little visit to Sadr City. A luncheon in Ramaldi?
And just this morning wonkette.com, which covers Washington, D.C., gossip, ran a rumor-item from blogger Wayne Madsen, who claims Dufus Dick is on the DC Madam’s list of customers. Although the bit couldn’t be confirmed, it really doesn’t suprise anyone familiar with Dufus Dick. He pays for it and then walks away with a shiteatin’ grin. Just as well: The entire freaking planet is paying for what he and Decider George have touched the last near-seven years.
Dufus Dick can’t continue on forever.
‘FEMA’ Who?

Sometimes when we hear something on the airwaves that makes us so mad as hell, we want to reach into the vast digital optic wasteland and snatch up Decider George and anyone else in close proximity and just choke the living shit out of them. On Tuesday, an InsideAdvantage/Majority Opinion poll was released showing near 40 percent of Americans want to impeach Decider George. Soon it’ll be 60 percent, then 80 and then everybody. Incompetent, arrogant sonofabitches.
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has stated the clean-up of Greensburg, Kan., the little town totally destroyed by a Category 5 tornado this week, will be hampered because most of the National Guard equipment is in Iraq. The equipment was taken over there and left, and no replacements have been issued as the Guard is now left hurting for equipment, and men, to handle disasters of such magnitude. Shades of Katrina, heh?
And what is the government’s response. White House Spokesman Tony Snow retorted that it was the Gov. Sebelius’ fault because she didn’t fill out the paperwork correctly. “If you don’t request it, you’re not going to get it,” Snow reportedly babbled. What the hell! Take a look at the landscape around Greensburg, Tony boy, what do you think those people need? New DVD offers from Netflicks?
Same shit after Katrina. Decider George and his bunch went after Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco after she blasted FEMA and other federal agencies for the horrible fiasco in New Orleans.These guys are always trying to find a scapegoat, someone who underminded their perfect plans, i.e., when the war in Iraq goes bad, it’s Osama and his boys, the Syrians, the Iranians, somebody but them.
And to even push the message further, GOP ’08 presidential hopeful, Kansas Republican blowhard Sen. Sam Brownback, jumped on Sebelius, saying the governor should not have taken the poor Guard to task. It’s not the Guard, Blowhard Brownback, it’s Decider George and his freaked-out, failure of a war which is pulling all of the US down with it. All the equipment is in that desert, rotting, falling apart or just broke down.
One Col. Eric Peck told a Kansas newspaper the state’s Guard has only 15 of its allocated 30 tractor-trailer trucks, and only 30 medium-sized tactical vehicles when they should have 170. The devastation in Greensburg (and most likely all across the mid-west due to heavy flooding this week) require equipment of all sorts to clean up the mess. If not the Guard then who?
FEMA?
You’ve got to be shitting me! The new head of one of the most spastic organizations in history says FEMA has come to Greensburg to stay. FEMA trailers, FEMA ice, FEMA shit.
Decider George says he won’t visit the destroyed Kansas town until Wednesday because he doesn’t want to get in the way of the clean up operation. What clean up, you closet-headed piece of the last week’s donkey shit?
FEMA my ass!
Nature’s Twist
Filed Under Musings | Leave a Comment
A landscape portrait like something out of a movie. Trees appearing as bone-people standing wind-swept across the country-flat land. Horror a mile wide at 200 miles-an-hour.
Across what once was a 1,500-populated town, Greensburg, Kansas, is a picture out of a war zone, a spot bombed in a nature-made shock and awe. The little farming community will never be the same, despite any rebuilding or anything. And the weather continues to worsen as the climate on the earth continues to shift as oil-greedy, SUV-driving, ‘Let them eat cake’ humans apparently are not ready to bite the petroleum bullet. The time might have been come and gone.
Last month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a pretty horrifying report on the situation of global warming and the effects from too much human waste. “This report no longer describes global warming as a looming evironmental crisis, but as a rapidly advancing human crisis,” so said Phillip E. Clapp, president of the National Evironmental Trust. This approaching catastrophic event is most likely worse than predicted. Stop signs are never placed on dangerous roads until a bunch of people are killed. As is in the way humanity has handled ole mother nature.
In the US, cars, SUVs and small trucks account for 22 percent of greenhouse gases. On a more stupid, endangering point (same as the old stop sign example) passenger vehicle mileage requirements are at the same level set in 1975. The IPCC report – put together by 3,500 scientists from 130 countries – creates the factual dilemma that “30 percent of the world’s species are at risk for extinction.” No pretty shit, that!
And there’s going to be a lot more Greensburgs as the earth starts to die. A start would be for the US, the world’s largest producer of greenhouse gases, that which is doing all the climate damage, to make a sharp reduction in what comes belching from smokestacks and cars. But the great Decider George has still got his head jammed far up his ass.
Despite Decider George proclaiming on the campaign trail in 2000 that new rules and regulations are required to slow down and halt global warming, after the election and in 2001, he rejected the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, claiming the agreement – signed by 37 nations including the whole European Union – would damage the US economy. Why did Decider George do such a stupid thing – oil and business. His vice president, Dufus Dick, is a cornhole, full-court-press business suckhole. And Decider George always does what Dufus Dick tells him to do.
Just last year, the idiot Decider George still didn’t seemed convinced that humans cause global warming. “The fundamental debate is (whether it’s) man made or natural,” he said. Since Decider George rarely reads, all the reports from a number of science-related organizations have all pointed to greedy, oil-grubbing humans as the cause of what is making the polar bear extinct, causing the sea to rise as the polar caps melt, making the sky over many, many, many cities turn brown and forcing life on this fragile, burned-out planet to die.
Despite some thoughts that Decider George would say something and even make a drastic policy change in this year’s State of the Union speech last January, the shit-kicker didn’t move at all. He only mentioned once anything remotely helping the cause, painting a wide picture with the phrase “global climate change.” One can only wonder at the current polls showing Decider George as the least popular president in a generation at a 28 percent approval rating – only poor, old Jimmy Carter was worst back in 1980.
The people of Greensburg and all the people of all the many Greenburgs to come should send a milewide, 200 MPH twister into the White House and flush Decider George and all his cronies down the freaking toilet.
Let’s see if the shit hitting the fan is man made or not.
Surge Dirge
Filed Under War & Politics | Leave a Comment
What goes around comes around. When Decider George decided to turn a blind eye, ear, nose and throat to the absolute horror his sorry-assed team had created in Iraq, one of the worst national leaders in world history poured jet fuel on an already scorching inferno. Against all normal, rational and conventional wisdom produced by a ton of study groups (the most notable, the official Iraqi Study Group, fronted by a couple of longtime political hacks), historians, some politicians, the majority of the Iraqi people, and the American voter, hard-assed headed Decider George instead ordered a surge of more boots-on-the-ground in Baghdad.
Hence the worst is yet to come. This weekend the obvious finally reared its dead: “As we have surged, we find the enemy is surging as well,” reported Major General Rick Lynch, commander of troops in south-central Baghdad. Thirteen soldiers were killed from Lynch’s troops and 39 wounded last month as the fight gets intense. Although there’s a surge, the killing continues.
And why? The situation is a scrap between locals. Just yesterday, there were clashes between rival Shiite militia groups, those sided with Mogtada al-Sadr and the Badr Brigades of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution. It’s a home-turf fight. And all the brew-haw-haw of the horror that would erupt with US troops leaving Iraq has been overblown. According to the UPI news service, Anthony H. Cordisman, a bright fellow with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, one of those Washington think-tanks, said last week the aftermath of a US troop withdrawal has been exaggerated. Although the upheaval would be “violent and unpleasant,” the resulting problems would most likely be internal and not the regional war that some think would be forthcoming.
The last-gasp to grasp vistory will turn out to be one of the worst blunders Decider George has made among a horrific-long list of horrific blunders. The surge will sound like a rat-tat-tat dirge. The war in Iraq with its bloody surge has become more and more every day a long mournful poem with thousands of hundreds of thousands of voices crying into heaven.
Decider George is one cold-hearted sonofabitch. And yes, shithead, I’m talking about Barbara.
Hillary Rodham ‘Hussein’

Decider George can’t becide what to do, or say. Four years ago, he publicly mused he didn’t worry too much about Osama Bin Laden’s outfit, the now-mega-famous (or infamous, if you will, depending on what part of the planet you’re on) Al-Qaeda and the impact the group displayed.
And now as the situation in Iraq continually turns into some real-shitty shit, Decider George has decided to put the steam to his favorite old chestnut, sawhorse or maybe, his favorite scapegoat, good, ole Osama and his boys. Despite all the freaking evidence to the contrary, it’s the Saddam Hussein and Osama relationship, albeit an Alice down-the-freaking-rabbit hole link.
According to washingtonpost.com, Decider George gave a speech yesterday at the Willard Hotel and babbled mental-incoherently about the real reason the US is in Iraq. “For America, the decision we face in Iraq is not whether we ought to take sides in a civil war, it’s whether we stay in the fight against the same international terrorist network that attacked us on 9/11,” the Website reported.
What a lying nob-head. Decider George, of course, failed to mention Al-Qaeda wouldn’t be there without America’s “shock and awe” entrance four years ago. And every report on international terrorism that comes out notes the Iraqi war has made the world much, much more terror-prone. And he also failed to observe that Osama’s boys play only a small role in the overall hellish violence.
Culprits for the vast, vast majority of the slaughter is homegrown, so home-grown the animosity and hatred spans back to 650 A.D, give or take a few years. Islam split like the Catholic Church in a “schism” into two branches then, Sunnis and Shiites, and these people can slash each other’s throats at the drop of an AK-47. The useless government now running Iraq festers the violence.
In Christianty, there’s also a shitload of sections, divided at the head by either Protestant and Catholic. And what if all these Christian denominations suddenly, for some now-unfathomable reason, started to act like their Islamic counterparts and each had its own death squads, heavily-armed militias and check points (armed Baptist check point vs a road block guarded by Episcopalians) to keep sections of American cities religiously correct: Presbyterian for the Presbyterians, Pentecoastal only or die!
What a freaking, dangerous hellhole. Decider George needs much more urgent help.
In the insane sequel to Hot Shots! Hot Shots! Part Deux in 1993, Charlie Sheen plays a Rambo-like commando on a mission inside Iraq (although the movie never says) and gets into a sword duel with Saddam Hussein. Sheen’s sword breaks on an encounter with a candle. He races up a flight of stairs with Saddam (played with uncanningly closeness by actor Jerry Haleva, whose whole career seemed to center around playing the Iraqi thug) hard on his heels. In desparation, Sheen grabs up a mobile phone and snatches out the antenna (this is 1993) and continues the sword duel with Saddam. In seconds the phone rings: Sheen tells Saddam to hold it, answers and conveys to the dicator the caller was his wife, Hillary Rodham Hussein. Saddam gets all nervous, tells Sheen to fake a message.
How would they know that which was insane, but funny 14 years ago has become a chillingly and sarcastic scorecard on just how fucked up the entire planet has become.
Have a good day and maybe we’ll meet tomorrow.
Mission ‘tarded
Filed Under War & Politics | Leave a Comment
Monday was the fourth anniversary of the now-even-more-stupid “Mission Accomplished” event that Decider George played out on the deck of an aircraft carrier. The strutting, rooster-Cogburn, Tom Cruise-like Top Gun bullshit that was, duly noted at the time, a photo op for the mentally divergent.
And on that anniversary, Democrats unrolled their own war plans act to rebuttal Decider George’s veto of the troop withdrawal bill to ratchet down the Iraqi war, not end it, of course, but just lower the American involvement somewhat – the Iraqi war will never end.
When Decider George back-seated that S-3B Viking jet onto the easy deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, the real shit started hitting the ole fan. Just yesterday, Paul Rieckhoff, founder/director of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America anti-war group, said the boots on the ground “could have perdicted the rise of the insurgency,” which started about the time those tires of that Viking touched down on the Lincoln.
Rieckhoff and his vets say Decider George screwed up big, big time.
A lot of people could have predicted the rise of the insurgency, and, according to historians and Rieckhoff, the history of such adventures always end up very badly. Vietnam is a mirror to Iraq.
And to put the entire horror in perspective, thinkprogress.org had the fourth anniversary of Decider George landing on the carrier by the numbers, and it’s not a pretty load of digits: In May 2003 only 139 GIs had been killed, now it’s up to 3,351 and counting; only 542 had been wounded, now is 24,912; then only 11 journalists had been killed, now it’s up to 167. And to show what the country thinks, the Decider’s job rating was at 71 percent in ’03, now it’s down to 32 percent. People know when they’ve been screwed. The situation has gotten so bad the Iraqi government won’t even give the UN the numbers of the dead.
Impeach, try and then hang!
