the same folks!

As you've heard or read--even on this page in the list of news links--Bush said during his 'press conference' this week that:

"The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th, and that's why what happens in Iraq matters to the security at home."

He refers to himself and his compadres.

My fret is that his stalling until September for Petraeus' magic report gives them time to plan and execute something "at home" to upset the status quo--and that that will be the result of all this dramatic forcing of a feral varmint like him into a corner.

Sometimes you like to be wrong wrong wrong.

the fabulous Canary Islands Telescope

This is news to me! Canary Islands Telescope Looks for Planets because the celestial view from off Africa's coast is excellent.

Miers and the fires

Did you miss Mr.A.Cat's rhyme concerning Harriet Miers and Sara Taylor?

Then slink on over to Lim's Limericks for a generous bowl that's much fuller than was subpoena-ignoring Harriet's chair on Capitol Hill today!

US Army denies free speech--in Canada!

If you've been missing Patrick Wood's excellent work at The August Review you may want to catch up with Patrick concerning the Security and Prosperity Partnership Summit set for Montebello, Quebec, August 20-21:

Public forums denied on upcoming SPP Summit because reality was about to get a little too close for comfort for Bush and the other North American Union types!

And if you saw Bush's strident performance from the new press room this morning, you know reality is still several continents away from Mr. George W. Bush.

The hypocrisy and propaganda continue...

Pope says he's Numero Uno

Lest the world forget: Pope Benedict signed yet another document promoting the Catholic Church as the only 'true' church...so there, you Protestants and 'Orthodoxants' with your "wound" of not recognizing the pope as primal ("wound" = Chiron, which is conjunct Jupiter in Pisces in the Vatican II's natal chart. If anyone wants to see the natal chart, let me know and I'll post it.)

Pope says other Christians aren't Christians, so there and some analysts think he may have signed yet another "I'm Numero Uno" document now because of internal church politics.

Or maybe it's those dwindling church coffers added to a boatload of egotism?


And who can forget the heady days of the New Millenium when John Paul called for the New World Order?
