Among
other things, this article about White House whining made a point of
identifying Cheney as "a Republican."
How
else would we have known that big-spending, war-mongering, Empire-seeking
and ultra-Nixonian secret keeper Dick Cheney is the ugly spawn of a Party
that once articulated small government, republican virtues of restraint
and respect for sovereignty, and a belief that power and information
should reside not centrally but in the hands of the states and the people?
The
White House, pale in the light of brutal men and women on the American
payroll in Iraq and elsewhere, cries shrilly, "Just leave us alone!"
Having
raised children, I know that while being left alone can be healthy, the
better part of my job is to annoy, inspect, question, clarify, monitor,
and even entertain.
As for
whining, I don't tolerate it. But perhaps young Dick was raised
differently.
Dick
Cheney is indeed an amazing man. His Fat Cat in the Hat-style bait and
switch "Operation Job Enhancement" back in 2000 led to his current
position of power.
His
most memorable achievement was selecting fools like Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz
to staff his foreign policy team, offering an Orwellian twist of the term
gravitas. For those who still believe Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz are
not fools, review the definition: "One who is deficient in judgment,
sense, or understanding; One who acts unwisely on a given occasion."
My
goodness gracious, the term fits perfectly.
In
light of the political insanity all around me, I am simply driven to
rhyme. As Dick Cheney himself might say, it is not my fault. With
apologies to Dr. Seuss, I give you.
"The Dick in the House"
The Dick in
the house is a curious fellow
He says many things, not all of them mellow
His truth is all true
In many small tiny pieces
But the bulk of Dick's tales
Are entirely specious.
Dick has a big heart for the small-time dictator;
He tends to befriend them, as ventrilo-quator.
But watch out for danger, chaos, hoi polloi
When wooden toys become real live boys.
So we've our post-Taliban man in Afghanistan,
Karzai in Kabul, the country to the Khans.
Young Dick thought this fine, unrecognizing
Afghanistan's history of rebellious optimizing.
"No matter!" Dick excites, "Iraq is in sight!"
What Iraqi can resist in light of our might?
The prize to be seized, an event most prophetical.
No questions, you people
It's all patriot-ical.
Today Dick worries with photos and film
Of abuses most foul, raw icons of sin.
Part and parcel to being unwanted, unled,
American soldiers in Iraq become walking dead.
But alas and alack, all dead souls aside,
Dick and his friends quell none of their pride.
Get off our backs, you Congressional hacks!
And you people out there, raising doubt with your morals,
Well, the Dick in the House will just rest on his laurels.
Liberation, democracy, peace, gravitas,
For the Dick in the House words mean just what he wishes.
The solution, Dr. Seuss-style, is urgent! Go fast!
Get that cat from the house, out the door, Dick be cast!
And what shall we do with the mess he has made?
A Republic in shambles, a Constitution waste-laid.
They do not make Tupperware for holding this waste.
We must stop the disaster, be bold, make haste.
Take no "No"s for an answer, deny Dick his claim
That all that he's wrought is all in our name.
Turn away from his pleas, stand firm with arms crossed.
And be sure in November his whole clan is tossed.
This story won't end with a Kerry Dick-Lite.
But this time when Stupid knocks on the door,
Wave no flags, to be sure, and don't be polite.
Instead do what Mom has always advised,
Don't take candy from strangers, be prudent and wise.
And if not, if we don't, it sure won't be pretty.
As more folks like me are driven to poetry.
So act now, and be firm, make the fools go away,
May Don be the first, then Paul, then Cheney!

The world gets crazier and crazier everyday, doesn't it? The world that many
of us thought was there, isn't. The bottom has dropped out of everything. The
illusions have been revealed, we have found out who has been pulling the strings
behind the scenes. Millions have lost their jobs, have mortgage
problems, credit card issues, credit repair problems and
foreclosure. What can be
done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can control
government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel
Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years
ago. He said, "Permit
me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its
laws." Get
the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system.
It's all about 'commerce'. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for
each individual. Not only does this end
personal debt, it places the people first in line
as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for
you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A
New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study. Is
your credit rating bad for reasons that seem out of your control? There are
ways of credit repair,
so you can men those broken fences too. Do you want to keep your children protected
from outside forces, there are ways of protecting
your children. Do you want
to keep your sons and daughters free from 'the draft'? Check this out.

 What are stem cell enhancers?
There is now an all natural, plant based extract, patented in 2004, and identified as a stem
cell enhancer. The patent states that this natural botanical and its extracts support the release
of adult stem cells from the bone marrow and into the bloodstream where they can then circulate
throughout the body, helping to maintain the body's own Natural Healing System
