Something to Study
"That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality," he said. "And while you're studying that reality, we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors… and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do as we change water to wine while running with scissors."

water to wine

The 5 steps to disempowerment
Executive Order 666: The people of the United States
serve at the pleasure of the President.
Liberty Lost –– Bush on Mt. Rushmore ––
The Ownership Society Trickle Down
South Dakota Chamber of Commerce is promoting an
addition to Mt. Rushmore
"The monument will be much enhanced with a populist figure like George
W. Bush."
Sources say: Becktell, Lockheed Martin, Blackwater and Halliburton are
among the major contributors to
this new and unpresidented addition to a National Monument. A nation wide
search for another
man of the caliber of Gutzon Borglum is now underway for the execution
of Bush in stone.
Mt. Rushmore Addition Proposal:
"Execution of Bush in stone" is a bit disingenuous as there
is no rock where the Bush Bust is to be placed. For the Bush Bust, both
Haliburtion and Becktell have proposed the fabrication of a reinforced
concrete addition to Mt. Rushmore. The sculpture of Bush will be a hollow
structure with view points from inside. To look through nostrils and eye
pupils of President Bush's Bust onto the Bad Lands of South Dakota will
be a thrilling experience.
The Hollow structure will house a temporary archive for the fledgling
President George W. Bush Library until the half billion dollar Texas library
is completed. The tour of Bush's Brain will be an experience filled with
light shows and some of his most famous speeches on tape loops. The entire
edifice will be wheelchair accesable with snackbar and curio shop. The
intention is to meld the textured concrete sculpture into the foundation
stone of Mt. Rushmoree without perceptable difference;" The work
will look as if it was created by the inspired hand of Gutzon Borglum
himself."
Gutzon Borglum father of american mountain carving
would be proud to see another Great American thumped into place. The Lakota
are more circumspect about the prospect, believing yet another mug on
their sacred spot will do nothing to authenticate the spiritual beauty
it once held.
Gutzon Borglum sculptor of the D. A. R. (Daughters of the American Revolution)
Stone Mountain, Confederate War Memorial and Mt. Rushmore would leap at
a chance to do Bush; he would do Stalin or Saddam if there were a budget
–– another chance to get it right.

A
modest proposal
the case for Public Dunking
public shaming has
a proud tradition in western society. Persecution for the public good
is a valuable tool for maintaining order.
Our
public forum should include communal dunking pools.
God knows with all the pools available in this nation, surly ten percent
could be given over for persecution and shame in the public interest.
The irony may be that those to be punished may have to give up their pools for the exercise.
Grover
Norquist approves of this notion, he can't swim and has no pool.

In the meantime our ancestors are left hanging.
Yes –– not easy to suffer fools in high places:
It's not Democracy in Iraq we have
to worry about. Losing liberty is infectious, getting it back takes
work, thought and courage.
We have definitely moved beyond the lady in the blue dress, Monica;
Impeachment should be reserved for the worthy.
When does a simile become a metaphor? This
BUSH has no leaves gives new meaning to an old fairy tale. A wonderful
statement for those of us who believe our nation has been stolen by
an agenda that leaves us alienated, ethicially compromised, disengaged,
berieft of meaningful motivation and isolated from our own country.
The horror, the horror of banality. Pedestrian greed and intellectual
sloth is not new only its trappings.
Laura Berg Treason
printed from Truthout.Org 2/13/06
Laura Berg is a clinical nurse specialist at the VA Medical
Center in Albuquerque, where she has worked for 15 years.
Shortly after Katrina, she wrote a letter to the editor of the
weekly paper the Alibi criticizing the Bush Administration.
After the paper published the letter in its
September 15-21 issue, VA administrators seized her computer, alleged
that she had written the letter on that computer, and accused her of
"sedition."
Here's what her letter said.
"I am furious with the tragically misplaced priorities and
criminal negligence of this government," it began. "The Katrina
tragedy in the US shows that the emperor has no clothes!"
She mentioned that she was "a VA nurse" working with returning
vets. "The public has no sense of the additional devastating human
and financial costs of post-traumatic stress disorder," she wrote,
and she worried about the hundreds of thousands of additional cases
that might result from Katrina an d the Iraq War.
"Bush, Cheney, Chertoff, Brown, and Rice should be tried
for criminal negligence," she wrote. "This country needs to
get out of Iraq now and return to our original vision and priorities
of caring for land and people and resources rather than killing for
oil. . . . We need to wake up and get real here, and act forcefully
to remove a government administration playing games of smoke and mirrors
and vicious deceit.
Otherwise, many more of us will be facing living
hell in these times."
After her computer was seized, Berg wrote a memo to her bosses
seeking information and an explanation.
Mel Hooker, chief of the human resources management service at
the Albuquerque VA, wrote Berg back on November 9 and acknowledged that
"your personal computer files did not contain the editorial letter
written to the editor of the weekly Alibi."
As the oceans rise and the fishes weep we carry on damning and diking the spillage of entropy.
