    And I love The Smirking Chimp – compiled from lots of great writers like Thom Hartman, Medea Benjamin and many others.

    I was a “Director of First Impressions” for many years. (that company’s euphenism for the more honest term, “Receptionist”) It was a running joke.

    Flashaaway – Yup – here in Fulton County Georgia a republican election board member has refused to certify the results of our recent primary election, saying something about past irregularities (which both Raffensburger and Kemp – both republicans, have disputed). So it’s starting already.

    It’s a shame that from now on red ties will always be associated with the Orange Menace. Speaking of which, my favorite color has always been orange. I hate to change it but OMG … the association. Sad.

    Riiiiight. After 9/11 we went into Afghanistan, had BinLadin trapped in ToraBora, but instead of getting him, we pivoted to Iraq under the lie umbrella that it had “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” invading that country thus beginning our futile “War on Terror.” W wanted to be a “war-time president,” and boy did he ever get his wish! But first he staged his phony “Mission Accomplished” photo op on that aircraft carrier. That was not the “end of hostilities,” but rather the beginning of the 20 year nightmare of the Iraq war.Netanyahoo’s vow to destroy Hamas is doing nothing but creating more desperate angry people, And the U.S. supplying Israel with munitions makes us complicit. This is not self-defense as the radicals running Israel claim. It is genocide of the Palestinian people. One more thing, speaking out against what’s happening in Gaza is not anti-semitic. It is pro-humanity. Bibi wants the war to continue to keep himself out of jail.
