…but does this story remind you of a bad movie plot?
The American authorities have arrested four Georgia men accused of plotting to buy explosives and produce a deadly biological toxin to attack US citizens and government officials.
OK, that sounds pretty serious, but it’s the characters that make this sound like something out of Hollywood.
Sound familiar? After the debacle we remember as Katrina, Bush 2 
complimented his buddy, Michael Brown, who he gave what he thought was a plum job as head of FEMA . He said, as people were dying in the flooded waters of New Orleans, or suffering through their hellish stay at the Super Dome, “Heck of a job, Brownie!”.
She says some of the dumbest (not darnedest) things supposedly coming out of the mouth of an intelligent, well educated public servant. Irreconcilable things. Completely hypocritical statements. Self serving beliefs masked as facts. Utter nonsense.
The Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz, has written a letter to the heads of major corporations on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ asking them to join him in boycotting all political donations to all politicians in Washington, until they “get the country’s economic circulatory system flowing again.” Spend political money creating jobs, not buying politicians, he says.
It’s probably a bit facile to say one could understand the reasons for the problems in the US economy in under three minutes, but Robert Reich does a nice job of supplying the basic starting points for research.

The scary thing is that this is not fiction. It’s actual people who are allowed to vote and procreate.

Check out the flag falling down behind Michelle Bachmann, and how she rushes to pick it up, in order to save it from desecration.
When I was younger, and more limber (in my dreams) I’ve been at parties where, after enough alcohol had been imbibed, they bring out the limbo stick and start playing The Limbo song. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Google it, but I suspect most of you do. In the song the singer at some point sings “How low can you go”, in an effort to get people to contort their bodies in ways the human spine was not meant to be contorted.
For all of you who have moved, either partially or wholly, to digital e-readers, Al Stefanelli has a deal for you.
He needs a quick turnaround of sales, so for a few days he’s offering his book, A Voice of Reason in an Unreasonable World, for $2.00.
I’m told by someone I know who has read it that it’s very good.
That other guy that’s been prowling the Oval Office, I didn’t vote for him. Must be his evil twin, Skippy.
Why doesn’t the real Barack show up once in awhile? We saw a little bit of him, a sneak peek, during his speech the other night. But he needs to come to work every day.
I hope this is the same guy that announced that he was running for re-election is 2012
At the end of my last post, a post that attempted to share facts, as opposed to beliefs, about the science of earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural catastrophes, I concluded with the exclamation “Enjoy!”. I’ve been reading about the after-effects of this horrible catastrophe, and realize that asking someone to enjoy even that kind of intellectual scrutiny was severely inappropriate, so I take it back.
