Sooo-What's the New Fall Lineup??--anything good??
And I'm not talking TV. Remember over a year ago Andy Card said that "you don't introduce a new line in the summer"---that was in reference to Iraq. The "we have to kill these bastards like yesterday" was postponed for maximum coverage until the fall (gee, maybe that's when our ace reporters should have stopped scratching their nuts and said, "do ya' think we're being fed lies!?) But anyway, I'm feeling the bile rise already in my mouth and am wondering about something.

Since September is when many Dems will officially kick off their campaigns and the race to '04 begins, this fucking bastard and his handlers are not just going to sit around starting in September and take care of "boring business". They don't respond to things that hit the news, they create the news. What's this bastard have in store for us??? I mean on top of it all we are heading into the season with soaring gas prices on top of everything else he's fucked up. Iraq, Afghanistan, terror, homeland security are not areas to pump because he can never milk anything more from them---it's all down hill from now. People won't buy more war and will turn on him if we have a terrorist attack. These slime are not going to rest for long. What will Fall bring???? These rats are cornered.

2. Gay marriage, and NK/Iran/Syria..
So many loose ends from last season!

David Kay's report, North Korea thumbing their nose at us....and you know Bush has to have his war on.

I've also read that the Republicans are going to try to make gay marriage an election issue--which is clever on their part. All of their people are already against it. It will drive a nice wedge between Democrats, though. How nice.

In general, I think the GOP sees the division in the Dem party as a plus, and will do whatever they can to help it. Dems would be smart to wise up about that.

3. We have a full lineup this fall
Look for Zionism, Terroist attacks, and the upcoming wars against Iran and Syria to fill ratings voids. Also heavily anticpated are government sponsorship of Christianity, a flat tax, and the new show "Who wants to be a billionare", in which Haliburton and Texaco are awarded lucrative government contracts.

11. and my reply yesterday was
Embarking, post Blackout, and in the middle of 3 dollar gasoline, and looming natural gas shortage which will doubtless kill people this coming winter

on a new cmapaign to convince the Americam Public of the need for drilling oil anywhere, anytime.

These guys are looting as much as they can before they are tossed out on their ass. They are working from that assumption.

10. I honestly don't think "war" is an option for them
First the people are falling out of love with this war and now distrust him when he gives his flakey "reasons". And, Rummy is already going nutso because we just plain don't have enough troops---thus the putting the GI Joe General up there a couple days ago saying "we don't need more troops in Iraq" in defiance of about everybody on planet earth who has been there and assessed the situation (including our own GI's). Heck, even Condi said a few months ago that there would be no more wars in Bush's FIRST term (hope GI Joe takes the hint when he goes to the ballot box!). People are getting real worked up at all the money spent and thus, the deficit, that they just are not going to go for this "let's look somewhere else for evil doers and WMDs. The people are no longer thinking in terms of what would protect our troops; rather they are wondering what the hell we are doing there and when will we get out. I'm not saying Bush won't try this; but this one will blow back in his face big time. In addition, this time he will have more of a war on his hands than he did with the Iraq walk over.
