people in Iraq have begun having their names and phone numbers tattooed on their thighs to make corpse identification more speedy.

So at last here we are at Greenaway Point :-(

The Tom Toles cartoon, showing daddy spanking W, is even more humiliating than the Newsweek cover — because I think it really probably bugs W that everyone is tittering about the perceived “spanking” he is receiving….

Jim Baker has come back on the scene in order to keep the details hidden that would expose the illegal shenanigans of the Bush 41 crew during the Reagan/Bush 41 years. There’s something about how the election was stolen in 2000 they wouldn’t like to see surface, either.

This Baker – Gates Deep Doo-Doo Squad intervention reminds me of the Harve Keitel character in PULP FICTION. I don’t think Gates was forced on the feckless Fratboy at all. I think it was made clear to him some time ago by people who really did have “THE math” that his sorry ass was in a sling come the morning after Nov. 7 & with congressional oversight reinvigorated in January he would end up with Rumsfeld hung around his neck for the next 2 years. Gates, then, turns out to be a two-fer: he’s not Rumsefeld & he’s a firewall at Defense, someone who knows how to duck & weave, equivocate & prevaricate with the best of them. He also knows which Bush skeletons have to be kept in the closet since he’s both one of them AND has been the curator of the closet at Texas A & M. Sally Quinn had a piece in WaPo before the election that hinted that this would be the way things might go, that it would be part of a broader plan to salvage Chimpwad Mc Smirkpuss’s “legacy” & preserve any future for the Bush league dynasty and its brain dead avatars plus to marginalize Cheney, who would be set up as the fall guy. Looks ever more likely to me, now that I’ve read the “Newsweek” article… Who knows ? The Great Fibrillator might just resign– to spend more time with his family, of course ;-)

I made a post a few days ago that daddy was now the president and is having his second term after all.

Christy, you are right, this is about saving the bacon of GW and the Republicans. The press is very deferential to Baker, they’re just awed at how he fixed the 2000 election. Let’s continue to be clear about James Baker. He’s a hack. He works for the Bushes, he is not a leader – merely a Mr. fix it for the aforementioned. The Saudi’s are probably screaming to the Bush family to clean up this chaos. They will spread enough money around to try and make this go away. Methinks things have gone too far this time. The stink of GW has permeated the entire globe, redemption will not be possible. Even if miraculously, some stabilization of the area results, it is known that this President failed. He failed miserably, and for so long that, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men……., well you all know the rest. Whatever takes place is all about clean up. They’ll do their best, but George W. destroyed the balance of power in the mid-east and is now and forever responsible for the aftermath. There isn’t enough disinfectant in the world for Jim Baker to sanitize the President.

Sonny went to daddy for a bail out (again). Daddy dispatched Baker. Baker has a reputation for fixing things up. Daddy has reams of names he can call to help sonny. No one family in America should have this kind of power. It sickens me to think that this presidency has been relegated to ‘daddy issues’.

On the was-Chistopher-Marlowe-Shakespeare? thesis –

Marlowe was a spy for Queen Elizabeth, and he wassupposedly murdered in a secret agent safe house.

He also tutored the young James Stuart, the future King James I. I heard a report that said Shakespeare had intimate meetings with the Gunpowder Plot conspirators; if so, Shakspeare might have played a role in foiling the Gunpowder Plot.

This would also explain why he could get away with writing MacBeth, with it’s many references to a witch obsessed illegitimate Scottish King.

Walter Raleigh was hung drawn and quartered for less.
