You're so vain you probably think this [blog] is about you........ Carly Simon

Velveeta does NOT take kindly to being suckered. Not that she has been of late. Just wanted to point it out.

The majority of the American people though, don't seem to mind it. I am fascinated by this type of person. The ones that buy bottled water, watch reality TV and believe everything they hear on main stream media from the likes of Tweety, Wolf, Brit and the rest of the corporate talking heads that spew crap out of their mouths. Sadly, most of these suckers also voted for our current clam-head administration because, well, they thought Bush would be fun to have a beer with!

I fucking kid you not. If you time-traveled from the past and I told you this was how we picked our leaders you'd never believe it.

The bush mafia suckered congress into believing that Iraq had WMD's. How did this happen? Because that very nice black General, Colin Powell, well, he got up there and showed us some pictures and told us that they were chemical weapons factories and stockpiles of various and sundry deadly missiles that could be used against us and our allies. Colin Powell had a hard life and he was able to achieve success in a white mans world, CERTAINLY he wouldn't lie to us. Would he?

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968

Forty Years ago this evening.
One shot. He was dead. He died trying to help those take a step up for themselves. I find it striking that today we still have no voice, no leader. No one to help lead the cause of non-violent civil disobedience. One shot.

I myself would love to tell you I miss the man. I cannot. I was a mere 7 months old when he was slain. As I grew up I found myself more and more drawn to his legacy: his teaching, the entire civil Rights movement in America... from there it led to a fascinating journey that showed me how tolerant and intolerant we really are -- still -- today as a nation. We are still a very divided nation. We still have a long way to go.

It's the end of the world as we know it...
And I feel fine...

About a month ago, I posted a link in the comments of a daily blog post to a site that describes various possible ways that earth (or in some cases human life upon it) could be destroyed. One of those scenarios described a black hole being created in a laboratory and then "getting loose" and slowly consuming the planet.

I was reminded of this when I read this story about a lawsuit against the newest CERN particle collider in Switzerland:

Good Morning.

Today is our 1,840th day in Iraq.

We'll start this morning as we always do...with the increasing casualties from the warron terra, courtesy of Antiwar.com:

American Deaths
Since war began (3/19/03): 4011
Since "Mission Accomplished" (5/1/03): 3872
Since Capture of Saddam (12/13/03): 3550
Since Handover (6/29/04): 3152
Since Election (1/31/05): 2573

Other Coalition Troops: 309
US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 491


We find this morning's cost of war passing through: $507,453,610,000.00

Do go and watch it for a minute. I timed it just now, and our war debt seems to be increasing by $10,000 every four seconds or so. Think of your annual salary, then do the math. It's sickening.
