Victory is for Babies! Fight On!

Ok,

so now we have a lot to catch up on.

First of all, the Detroit Tigers imploded and lost the World Series in spectacular fashion. Although the Cards played solid ball, they were playing the role of witness to a tragedy more than executioner to a victim. Not the clearest analogy, but you get the point.
In the meantime I am pumped about the season and really happy about that there penant.

Great job guys!



The Ford/Corker Senate race in TN ended with a win for a moronic fool whose only claim to the position is having been MAYOR of Chattanooga. Chat is a great little town, but running for Senator on his record as it's mayor is a bit like applying to be head of NASA because you really enjoy bottle rockets!

Corker is a typical example of politics for sale to the highest bidder.

In the meantime I was no fan of Ford either. However a point about the national coverage of this story needs to be made. Race was not really an issue in TN any more than it is in any other state that has no Black Senator...oh yeah...there are no Black Senators...except for the big O up in Illinois.

It's really more of a national trend than a Confederate one.



In the meantime what about that election and the step down of Mr. Rumsfeld? I must admit that I was shocked and happy and pleased to see that my fellow Americans had finally had enough.

However, there is no rest for the weary...

Pelosi, Conyers and Dean are already backing off the question of impeachment and are very likely to throw open the borders by passing Bush's "guest worker" plan which is just one more step in his overall scheme on behalf of the North American Union.

Here is a wake-up call to all of you liberals: Wake Up!

You have gained nothing other than this one brief moment to catch them by the throat and demand justice and truth, which they have just as many reasons to avoid as their Red allies across the aisle...bait and switch...

Here is a list of demands I think every American should make sure the new Congress and Senate address:

1. Impeachment of George W. Bush based on lying to the American people in order to go to war with Iraq.

2. Investigation of no-bid contracts in the Iraq war.

3. An INDEPENDENT investigation of the 9-11 attacks including public hearings and Bush and Cheney testifying under oath. This is the lynch pin issue. Once the truth of 9-11 is known everything else on this list will sort itself out instantly.

4. Repeal of Patriot Acts one and two.

5. Challenging of the Supreme Court's recent decisions regarding Eminent Domain.

6. Shut down the Southern Border, crack down on all illegals and create crippling penalties including imprisonment for anyone hiring illegal workers. I know you liberal types like to bleed all over this one, but the fact is your wonderful Dems who are behind this kind of legislation - Kennedy etc. - are really interested in protecting a slave supply for their wealthy constituents. No one feels more empathy for the poverty stricken masses of S and C America than I do, but this is no solution. America can't raise the bar in this part of the world by lowering the bar within our country. This is the great fallacy of all the plans to unite the Americas and Canada in an economic union.

7. Immediate plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and replace them with an international peace keeping force to prevent even worse civil in-fighting.

8. Investigation of military torture policies.



In the meantime check out the new Nashville Arts for some more writing. I interviewed a talented N'ville photographer Hollis Bennett and reviewed Greg Pond's video show at Cheekwood. That show is great by the way. Also, the new issue of our zine Radically Shifted is hot off the presses and I think it's the best one yet! Check it out at Davis Kidd or Rhino books.




Be humble in your sleepy hands on this world.
Be a killer in Heaven.
