Why is the current President of the United States so highly revered as a senseless cowboy who barely made it through his life even with the help of his powerful family? And it would seem that any political prowess exhibited from the oval office has to be exhumed from past administrations. (Um, the Reagan and Bush v.1 administrations for you home-gamers.)
But, let's take a deeper look at what exactly is going on.
Opposition parties and PAC's are being made ineffective right in front our very eyes. Mass media outlets have little effect on public opinion as in one breath we complain about "covert" machinations of this administration and lack of media press conferences. And in the very next breath, we support him as he wants what's best for the country. We love his solid position and resolve. And we hate what he symbolizes. (i.e. cowboy, un-refined, blunt, stupid... You know, 75% of the country.)
I, personally, was sad to see press secretary Ari Fleischer leave this post in 2003 as I thought he commanded enough attention in the press room to handle any questions that may arise. However, he did not fit the entire strategy entirely as too many questions were not quelled with proper responses. Smart move by the administration. What's left? Scott McClellan, the crafty Texan who appears so flaky, that media representatives give up on hopes of acquiring a story or better yet, a scandal. Yet, strange enough, they cannot push Mr. McClellan around. Simply Brilliant.
Was Harriet Miers a smoke screen to either hide other mishaps in the administration or to just identify who is loyal to the party? I believe that Miers was planning to step down from the outset of this fiasco. Alito was a top pick of President Bush's at least 2 months ago. After pushing through the new Chief Justice, it could be assumed that the opposition will fight the swing vote replacement. (O'Conner) Rush Limbaugh said that Miers' appointment seemed to have been made from a position of weakness. It is Sun-Tzu that teaches us that all battles are won when you utilize obscurity. The truth is this President got what he wanted. 1) His first appointment as Chief Justice. 2) Identification of his party supporters and party deserters. Remember, the President has 2.5 years left. And interim elections for the House and Senate are next year. (Who deserves a piece of the war chest???) 3) Non-contested confirmation of the guy he wanted in the first place, Judge Alito. How skilled in "strategery" must one be to completely circumvent the sexual and racial component of a Supreme Court judge nomination by obfuscating the discussion with a non-qualified nominee. Brilliant.
I must ask you, didn't this guy specialize in political and business strategy while at Yale? As long as you surround yourself with capable people, you don't have to know it all. I think Napoleon Hill called it your "mastermind group". And let's be honest, do you expect anyone from Texas to know everything?
With proper positioning, this President has successfully taken from the opposition their issues and platforms, minimized their importance on Capitol Hill and kept them on the offensive for the last 4 years. I honestly do not think an idiot could accomplish this.

R.I.P. Ms Parks.
This world of ours lost someone last week. A person who merely wanted to be left alone and treated with respect. We lost someone who epitomized what equal treatment really means. And someone who became an international symbol for struggle and triumph.
Rosa Parks died last Monday in Detroit, MI. She was 92.
My greatest hope is that enough people truly learn and internalize what her life meant and will continue to mean to generations to come.

"Scooter" Libby - Fucked!
The vice president's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter' Libby Jr., was charged Friday with obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements in the CIA leak investigation, a politically charged case that will throw a spotlight on President Bush's push to war. Libby resigned and left the White House.
The grand jury indictment charged Libby, 55, with one count of obstruction of justice, two of perjury and two false statement counts. If convicted on all five, he could face as much as 30 years in prison and $1.25 million in fines.
The charges stem from a two-year investigation by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald into whether Rove, Libby or any other administration officials knowingly revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame or lied about their involvement to investigators.
Libby is accused of lying about how and when he learned about Plame's identity in 2003 and told reporters about it. The information on the officer was classified.
He is also accused of lying when he told Fitzgerald's investigators that he learned about Plame's CIA status from Tim Russert of NBC. He learned it from several government sources, including Cheney, the indictment says.
--------
Amazing how the focus has been on Libby and not so much on Rove. Could it be Libby's proximity to the Vice President that makes him so desirable???
Well, the staff at IFLIPYOUOFF.com wishes him and his family well. And if he is found guilty, he should be beaten within an inch of his life, then slowly raped with a hot soldering iron until he passes out from the pain.
If he is innocent, the prosecuting attorney should issue a written apology to him.
Simple, huh?

Calm down!
Do the American people actually think the reconstruction of Louisiana, Mississippi and now, Florida will be complete in mere days?
come on now... it's me you're talking to.
It will be months before they even completely assess the damage, bulldoze destroyed buildings and map a game plan for the city planners and engineers to follow.
So stop wasting everyone's time with this, "Let's see how far our governments have progressed in the rebuilding process." bullshit. Do yourself and everyone a favor and check on it only once, maybe twice, a month.

The power rests with...
Women.
Do they realize the power that they possess? With proper organization, cunning and skilled planning, women could, quite possibly, rule the world. And for that, I respect them.
Let's look at the facts. They control child birth. They handle emotional stresses of all kind better than males. And they are masters of communication. Maybe because they never shut up.
But I digress...
Men will do some of the dumbest things to get a glimpse of a woman in a bra. And watching a woman bend over, cross her legs or slowly take a sip of her coffee or wine can intoxicate a man to the point where IQ levels plummet to the depths of retardation.
And while women appreciate the male form due to their libidos and need to procreate, they don't embezzle hundreds of thousands of dollars to see them naked. (Sorry Mr. Rob McCormick. I had to say it.)
They say women are the weaker sex. That may be true as the only women I know who are power lifters, construction workers, carpenters and the like, possess more testosterone than a non-stop viewing of Arnold's greatest action movies in Hamburg, Germany during the World's Strongest Man competition.
But even though most women are soft, gentle creatures doesn't mean they are not extremely vindictive, not extremely jealous and can't hold a grudge longer than life itself. So even when she smiles at you and gently rubs your arm or arches her back for you, she is plotting, scheming and making a fool of you.
And you know, men love every second of it.

Leave the so-called refugees alone!
There was a recent news blast complaining that there were several Hurricane Katrina refugees sighted purchasing alcohol and/or lapdances at local establishments in the Massachusetts area last week.
Why is that anyone's business but theirs? Once the funds were delivered to each person, it became their private property to command as they wish. As long as they are not violating any laws, the general public has no "say so" over their actions.
In addition, I defy you or any red-blooded American who just lost everything they own, their means of survival and probably someone they knew to NOT go looking for a little release or escape.
And what better way to cope than with a bottle of your favorite booze and a knob-shine from a chick named "Desiree".
Fuck you, America! You hypocrites!

End of the world? That's Bullcrap.
The recent spate of natural disasters affecting the globe "might be" signs that the Biblical apocalypse is near, says Christian televangelist Pat Robertson.
Kevin Trenberth, the head of climate analysis at NCAR, cites a number of factors responsible for the trend toward stronger and more frequent hurricanes being observed. These include natural variability in hurricane frequency and intensity, global warming, and El Niño, a warming of the waters in the off the eastern coast of South America that occurs naturally every 4-12 years.
"Following an El Niño there tends to be warmer sea temperatures," Trenberth said. "It changes the atmospheric circulation to create extra warming of the Atlantic [Ocean]."
As the surface of the Atlantic Ocean warms, more water evaporates into the atmosphere, which allows for stronger tropical storms. Global warming is believed to contribute to hurricanes in the same way, by warming up the ocean surface and putting more moisture into the atmosphere.
About Robertson's comments, Trenberth said that he "thinks its part of the general [socio-political] climate that seems to exists in the country today, fostered partly perhaps by this administration, fucking assholes like Robertson and their lack of credence to science."

Fight Terrorists with Terror
Is it possible to kill off all terrorists without inspiring their young or "martyring" the idiots?
Or can we just humiliate them all by raping their families? We get an elite unit of gay men to rape the men and boys and, what the hell, the women too. Although this idea is quite ludicrous, it's no more incredible than the idea of changing the world through random killings.
Remember the old adage: "Two wrongs don't make a right." But in this case, how do you negotiate with individuals that care absolutely nothing about your right to exist? Even to the point where their God or Deity will reward them for eradicating you...
Well, at least we know what nukes can do to a country's attitudes. Japan is one of our biggest allies now.
We still have them. Let's not allow them to be wasted. Nuke all terrorists and terrorism-sympathetic nations NOW.

Rape Up, While Murders Down in 2004
By MARK SHERMAN
The Associated Press
Monday, October 17, 2005; 10:18 AM
WASHINGTON -- Murders across the United States fell for the first time in five years, while rapes increased slightly last year, the FBI reported Monday.
Overall, the number of violent crimes, which also include aggravated assaults and robberies, fell by 1.2 percent last year. There were 16,137 murders in the United States in 2004. That was about 350 fewer than in 2003, according to the FBI data. The decrease is the first since 1999. Chicago was largely responsible for the drop, recording 150 fewer murders in 2004 than in 2003.
The number of rapes, however, has increased in three of the past four years, according to the FBI data. In all, rapes increased by .8 percent to 94,635 rapes, or about 750 more than in 2003.
Rapes are up nearly 5 percent since 2000, FBI data show.
----
I personally blame DC Comics for this. During the last year they have continually glorified rape in their stories and illustrations. You cannot blame this one on the Flipster. It's DC Comics. Here's the proof: Identity Crisis - the entire premise revolved around a character, named Dr. Light, raping the wife of a super hero. Sure kids everywhere think that's entertainment, but what about the ones who can't differentiate between comic book fantasy and real life? Rape is not fun, people. Just ask anyone who was raped by a 27 year old, wearing a Dr. Light costume.
So no wonder this sad statistic is up in America. You can't blame this on me. But you can blame comics.

0 day conundrum
A thought just struck me.... If a piece of software, or a bootlegged CD or DVD, or even a virus is considered "0-day" or "Neg-Day", (unknown by the production company) how do they get so wildly popular so fast? Could it be some companies make it their business to push out these "leaks" to either beef up interest, push another add-on product/service or hype sales?

Who goes to movies anymore???
I recently went to try and go see Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. I want those 3 hours of my life back.
First, some snot-nosed punk had an attitude when I gave him a $50 dollar bill. I don't know what his problem was but he acted like he didn't want my money.
Next I grab a large Coke and maybe a box of candy. WOW! That was almost $15 bucks for that. Shit, I guess entertainment is expensive.
So, I walk into the theater careful not to drop anything or fall on my ass.
Every step was like wading through Bourbon Street, barefoot, after MardiGras. It was DISGUSTING. It's as if the ushers who work for the place said, "Fuck it." and all took turns taking a liquid-like diarrhetic shit all over the floor. Oh the smell! Oh the stickiness...
After I find a seat that's reminiscent of the Coliseum on Mount Olympus, the lights go dark and the cell phones begin. I won't tell you that crucial moment in the film where the bride is rushing to her wedding during a fantastic chase scene, Bubba starts berating his half-sister-slash-lover-slash-baby's momma for bothering him during a movie. It will spoil the plot.
All in all I think Hollywood has really gone down hill. If the "hill" can be personified as a disgusting old man and Hollywood is his submissive significant other. Whatever happened to the greats? Cecil B Demille, Lawrence Olivier, Sidney Poitier, Yul Brenner... John Travolta?
The only thing the West Coast has going for it is ownership of great movies from days past. And guess what, to their chagrin, remakes of good movies into shitty ones do not pass as great movie making.
So what have we learned? From the movie theater to Hollywood nothing good is going on. And I think maybe they are waking up to that fact. Just look at box office takes over the last 4 years. They are tanking bad!
Some of the best directing and writing can be found, in all places, TELEVISION. Shows like Threshold, Arrested Development, Family Guy, Surface and the West Wing provide more quality and entertainment in one episode than all of the Ben Affleck movies combined.
So, do the smart thing... Just stay home. We now have DVD's, Internet Porn and some pretty good TV.
Just stay away from the reality shows. They are hazardous to your health!

What do you think of these weird-fucks, now?
Katie Holmes' silent Scientology birth
October 7, 2005, 12:47:16
Katie Holmes is set to give birth in silence.
As devout disciples of cult religion Scientology the beautiful actress and her husband-to-be, Tom Cruise, would have to maintain a vigil of total silence in the delivery suite.
The bizarre ritual - which Scientologists believe should be carried out to prevent children from turning mad - is nothing new to Cruise who insisted the biological mothers of the adopted children he had with Nicole Kidman have their babies in silence, according to a 2001 report in America's New York Post newspaper. Scientology founder, and renowned kook, L.Ron Hubbard, tells his followers in his book Dianetics: "Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save both the sanity of the mother and child and safeguard the home to which they will go."The maintaining of silence does not mean a volley of 'Sh's', for those make stammerers".
Actor and leading Hollywood Scientologist John Travolta who also insisted his wife Kelly Preston gave birth in silence, explained after the birth of his second child Ella Bleu: "In Dianetics, you try and keep the delivery room quiet so there's nothing recorded in the child's mind that shouldn't be there while there's pain going on".
Tom and Katie are also set to be strict parents. Scientologists are encouraged not to comfort or nurture young children because Hubbard believed a child is simply a small adult who can look forward to look after themselves from a young age, that, or revert back into a clam.

Ahh, yes. More crap in the news...
Oct. 5, 2005 — Both the FBI and CIA are calling it the first case of espionage in the White House in modern history.
Officials tell ABC News the alleged spy worked undetected at the White House for almost three years. Leandro Aragoncillo, 46, was a U.S. Marine most recently assigned to the staff of Vice President Dick Cheney.
"I don't know of a case where the vetting broke down before and resulted in a spy being in the White House," said Richard Clarke, a former White House advisor who is now an ABC News consultant.
Federal investigators say Aragoncillo, a naturalized citizen from the Philippines, used his top secret clearance to steal classified intelligence documents from White House computers.
In 2000, Aragoncillo worked on the staff of then-Vice President Al Gore. When interviewed by Philippine television, he remarked how valued Philippine employees were at the White House.
"I think what they like most is our integrity and loyalty," Aragoncillo said.
Classified Material Transferred by E-Mail
Officials say the classified material, which Aragoncillo stole from the vice president's office, included damaging dossiers on the president of the Philippines. He then passed those on to opposition politicians planning a coup in the Pacific nation.
"Even though it's not for the Russians or some other government, the fact that it occurred at the White House is a matter of great concern," said John Martin, who was the government's lead espionage prosecutor for 26 years.
Last year, after leaving the Marines, Aragoncillo was caught by the FBI while he worked for the Bureau at an intelligence center at Fort Monmouth, N.J.
According to a criminal complaint, Aragoncillo was arrested last month and accused of downloading more than 100 classified documents from FBI computers.
"The information was transferred mostly by e-mails," said U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie at the time of Aragoncillo's arrest.
Since that arrest, officials say Aragoncillo has started to cooperate. He has admitted to spying while working on the staff of Vice President Cheney's office.

Didn't we use to hang people who commit treason? People are more prone to doing stupid shit because there are no consequences that makes you stop and think about how fucked it's going to be when you get caught. Most people think about hanging with their buddies in prison; working out and getting buff in the yard, then writing a frigging book about the ordeal and getting paid $50,000 for the treatment and a sample chapter. If parents would beat the shit out of their children more often, society may learn to respect each other a little bit more in the future.
All I can say is, What the fuck?!

It's about time!!!
Young women are leading the way in tearing down sexual taboos in North America, where teenagers are having more sex at a younger age than their parents and grandparents, a new survey showed.
Freewheeling young women in the United States and Canada first have intercourse at the age of 15, partake more in oral sex than previous generations and are far less prudish, according to a landmark new report by researchers at California's San Diego State University.
Between 1943 and 1999, the age of first intercourse dropped to 15 from 19 for females, while the percentage of sexually active young women rose to 47 percent from just 13 percent in 1943, according to the study that appears in the most recent issue of the Review of General Psychology.
"Feelings of sexual guilt plummeted, especially among young women. Attitudes toward premarital sex became dramatically more liberal over the same period," the analysis of 530 studies spanning five decades and involving more than a quarter of a million young people said.
Over the same 56-year period, approval of premarital sex increased from 12 percent to 73 percent among young women, while the figure rose from 40 percent to 79 percent among young men, according to the study.
"The change in young women's beliefs about premarital sex was enormous," said Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who co-authored the report with Brooke Wells of City University of New York.
"Cultural influence was so much stronger for women than men, and that was true across behaviors. The attitudes that parents have is also an influence," Twenge said about the report that tracked "Baby Boomers," "Generation X" and the current generation of young people, whom Twenge calls "Generation Me".
The study revealed that the massive cultural revolution that swept North America in the past 30 years had contributed dramatically to the shift as movies and television shows tacked formerly taboo topics such as teenage pregnancy, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases and rape.
"This shift to more liberal sexual attitudes and behaviors, commonly deemed the 'sexual revolution', has dramatically altered American culture, especially for women," the report said.
The Baby Boomers of the 1950s and 1960s began having sex for the first time in college, while youngster of today are having sex for the first time in high school. "There's been a major shift there," Tweng said.
But, while their baby-boomer ancestors were having less sex with more people, young people now, faced with an AIDS epidemic, have more sex with fewer partners, the report indicated.
The sexual revolution has meant that sexual practices that were frequently reviled by earlier generations -- especially oral sex -- were becoming far more acceptable and widespread.
The percentage of teenagers and young adults having oral sex increased from 48 percent in 1969 to 72 percent in 1993 among young men, and from 42 percent in 1969 to 71 percent in 1993 among young women, the report said.
"Oral sex has become so popular. In previous generations, oral sex was considered disgusting. Now young people see it as another way of being sexual," Twenge said.
"It's also part of the general trend of sexual behavior moving away from marriage and reproduction and toward pleasure."

What's your problem?
Of course I won't laugh," the doctor said. "I'm a professional. In over twenty years I've never laughed at a patient.""Okay then," Paul said, and proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest penis the doctor had ever seen. It was the size of a peanut. Unable to control himself, the doctor started giggling, then fell laughing to the floor. Ten minutes later he was able to struggle to his feet and regain his composure."I'm so sorry, "Said the doctor. "I really am..... I don't know what came over me. On my honor as a doctor and a gentleman, I promise it won't happen again. Now what seems to be the problem?""It's swollen," Paul replied.
Emotional responses are rarely helpful...
Choking back tears, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF star Donald Sutherland warned this week: President Bush "will destroy our lives!" The star of the new ABC drama, which follows the first woman President of the United States, lashed out at the real White House during a dramatic sit down interview with the BBC.Sutherland ripped Bush and his administration for the war and Hurricane Katrina fallout."They were inept. The were inadequate to the task, and they lied," Sutherland charged."And they were insulting, and they were vindictive. And they were heartless. They did not care. They do not care. They do not care about Iraqi people. They do not care about the families of dead soldiers. They only care about profit."At one point during the session, Sutherland started crying: "We've stolen our children's future... We have children. We have children. How dare we take their legacy from them. How dare we. It's shameful. What we are doing to our world."Sutherland went on rip Karl Rove's "methods and means" against people like Cindy Sheehan."We're back to burning books in Germany," Sutherland said of NBC's editing out of Kanye West's comment on Bush during a hurricane relief telethon.

Now what the hell is he talking about? And why do these Bush-haters run to Europe to bad mouth the President? Be a man! Like CindySheehan. (One can only assume, since I've never really seen her penis and testes...)
Did Karl Rove have Kanye West's comments edited? No. I saw the tape myself. If the President is so bad, why doesn't someone intelligently and calmly articulate what the President and his administration's fallacies are? Give me a bulleted list and we can address them, one by one. Oh wait! You can't have an honest debate with these people. Never mind...
