The theatre of the absurd on summer reruns- Think Brigadoon.

So Dubya can't be Imperial EMPEROR quite yet. He's appealing to a higher court. And you know those "activist judges."
Good thing the activists are all on his side. So we won't have to hear the rightwingnut dittoheads repeating that old meme ad nauseum.
When is the coronation?

When Bill Clinton was president how many of his nominated judges did the GOP Congress block? (I'll give a prize to the first right answer.)
This GOP Congress has rubber stamped, along with My Democratic Senator's compliant rubber stamp, almost every judge Dubya has nominated.

But, unfortunately, the question on the NSA wiretaps isn't the question that you think it is.
George and past presidents have legally already tapped 20,000 phone calls. That is not the question.

Four (4, yes FOUR) warrants (out of 20 thousand) have been refused by the super duper secret political insider FISA court.
Dubya just wants to tap us without oversight.
Remember when the Bushies got caught intercepting Democratic Senators' e-mail?
Was anyone ever called to account?
You don't think they would use taps POLITICALLY?
Then why would you wiretap Grandmas for Peace, the Quakers, and for God's Sake, vegans?

So what's the problem Dubya?
You gotta be GOD?
Big Brother isn't good enough for you?

The big Question is does he need a WARRANT, as required by law, does he have to follow the LAW like the rest of us pondscum 'citizens'.
Even a F'ing post-dated warrant. Emergencies are accounted for and accomodated under law. LAW.
Anyone remember the play about the Archbishop of Canterbury... the law is my shield to save me from my king.
Pure Camelot fantasy stuff, I've discovered. The game is rigged.

Dub's argument that any trial is "revealing state secrets" won't fly as well.
That's been decided a month ago. You can't brag publicly about how great your program is, and then claim it can't be mentioned in a court. Maybe you'll find a way around that too.

I guess the "Nature of the world we live in" as you, Dubya, said, is the same nature as Caligula or for a better analogy, Nero (the fiddle- while- burning guy). His family was of the rich owner warmongering class as well, and they did make out from conquering the world too.
But remember the history of empires?
Empires fall.
Chaos follows.
After Nero, there was a Dark Age.
So bad the people call it a Dark Age!
I remember reading in Medieval studies that French peasants starved, slaved, and were too poor to manage to purchase clothing.
Capitalism, another name for Feudalism.
History really repeats, in the micro and the macro sense.
The Bush Crime Family are a sample of your new oligarchs.
I laughed out loud this morning to hear NPR denigrate the lack of democracy in Russia, due th their taxing of NGOs and hard treatment of the oil oligarch.
Since when do oligarchs have ANYTHING to do with DEMOCRACY!!!
And the Russians are finally waking up to the fact that NGOs are chock full of covert activist-organizer types. DUH! I'm an ignorant midwestern housewife and I knew that.
Welcome to the New World Order (First time I heard that chilling phrase was out of the mouth of George the First.When was the first time you recall hearing it (outside of science fiction)?)

I just heard the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. has increased by a third during King Dubya's reign. Don'tcha feel safer to know that all that money you spent on Homeland Security (not to mention plastic tarps and duct tape) from your Social Security lock box was put to such good use?

And are we fighting Iraqi "terrorists" "over there" "so we don't have to fight them here," but the color coded terror alert OVER HERE is getting perilously close to 'Election Red'?

And why did we see and hear and read all of those details about the little raped beauty queen tot, whats her name, all over again, and most of them are turning out to be complete spittle wiping speculation by the talking heads in Corporate media? Maybe they all went to summer vacation campfires together to learn how to reportl Scarey Stories, to scare the pants off of drooling sublimated monkey repressed Dobson voters.
Focus on the Family. We are the Morals voters. Take that, Monica and Bill.
Strong Paternal Daddy Bush, save us!

God, this democracy of asses and jackals is getting overwhelmingly stupid and demoralizing.
