OK, I realize that last post sounded really creepy, and I didn’t mean it to be. I was just responding to some postings I had read about Bush possibly purchasing a ranch in South America, so I presumed he’d be puting his old place up for sale. A thousand appologies, especially to any alphabet soup agency (FBI, NSA, etc.) that might be monitoring.

Really, I’m a nice person once you get to know me. Just a little socially awkward. Now if you’ll excuse me while I try to do the bloging equivalent of removing my foot from my mouth.

dang!…I just now found this. I wouldn’t worry about the alpha-folks too much as they seem to be a good judge of character all in all. They usually post if something bothers them. I do that same thing with my foot alla the time.

Help get this right-wing fool thrown off the air!!!

Didn’t CNN get the message from the last election….that the American public has rejected the right-wing extremist agenda?
Why is CNN giving prime-time every night to the ultra-right-wing extremist, Glenn Beck?

Please take just 10 seconds to click on this link and send a message to CNN telling them we don’t want the airwaves innundated by this idiotic
low-grade right-wing propaganda!

Really great post, OFG. Only thing you got wrong was that Mrs. Olsen was NOT on the flight that crashed into the Pentagon. There was no plane.

hmmm… I see you share my skepticism about the events. However, apart from doubtful reports, Barbara Olsen has not been seen since. That does puzzle me.

Witness protection program.

Quick divorce. As a reward. Has Olsen remarried?

I saw good signs this week but like so many of us I don’t feel safe at all. I cannot imagine how a few dozen other countries are feeling or what they may be considering because of the new threats by Bush.

One of the many things running through my mind is that when a Bush makes a threat it’s probably already happening and it always happens in the middle east this time of year. (largely due to weather conditions)

Our civil liberties alone are more important than the office of the President. This whole cabal of neo-fascists are completely nuts and we risk everything for treating this as just a couple of rogue characters in a short term position who would never do thaaat.

Yes, the time to act is right now and I don’t mean on meet the depressed in a few hours!

Yes, President Pelosi would be best but President anyone but the top three Bush, Cheney, McCain would be fine for now.
