This is an ALL Bill O'Reilly day in honor of him not only putting his Foot in his mouth but for swallowing it with his relentless wining about how bad the world is treating him. Boo Whooo!!!
Bill O'Reilly has been crying the blues all this week on his TV Show because of what some are saying are his RASIST comments or at the least some of the DUMBEST WORDS EVER SPOKEN [my take]. I've been watching the BOR-man all this week and to me what he should have done on his first show this week was to simply apologize for his dumb remarks and move on, but NOOOOOOOO that isn't his style he needs to go on these daily rants about how it's everybody else's fault for picking on him. He doesn't like the BLOG's like KOS cause they say BAD THINGS. He doesn't like MEDIA MATTERS cause they say BAD THINGS. He doesn't like NBC (won't use MSNBC) because they say BAD THINGS. He doesn't like many News Papers cause they say BAD THINGS. Doesn't like San Francisco cause it has GAYS?????? Anyway you get the point he just can't look in the mirror and say Bill you just screwed up. . . take your damn lumps and move on. No that would end this story and he's lovin it so here is what he does. He invites Al Sharpton on one night to have him say how good BOR-man is. Even though good old Al knew the day before that he would be on the BOR-mans show to talk about this but what did Al say? Nothing he hadn't heard the clip. Man I wonder what IMUS would say about that. My take is that he knows what side of the bread the butter is on. Remember he is one of those so called FOX ANALYSTS. Last night he was all GITTY over getting Jesse Jackson on his show. Like Al before him, he didn't have much to say about the SPECIFIC problem that this appearance was supposed to address. They got into a lot of other issues that had nothing to do with the subject. And finally he has Juan Williams on a couple of times to defend what the BOR-man has said. I think this guy is just a TOOL of FOX and he plays the part to the hilt. On one of his radio shows the BOR-man ends threating the media saying in part "I know where you live, I'm coming to get ya." For someone that loves to take people OUT OF CONTEXT, (I've shown that here a couple of times) it's very funny that he would use that as a defense.FACTOR FICTION PART 1 OF 2

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette carried details last week of the rather messy divorce involving rival publisher, and conservative funder, Richard Mellon Scaife. Now attorneys for Scaife have filed court papers demanding the paper return documents related to the divorce. The Post-Gazette has responded by not only denying that but posting multiple links on its Web site to the available documents, while removing some personal or financial details. The Post-Gazette pointed out that his "attempt to make court documents inaccessible is unusual for the head of a news organization. Historically, newspapers and television stations have fought for greater rather than more restricted access. In fact, Mr. Scaife's Tribune-Review joined other organizations in seeking to unseal the estate records of the late Sen. John Heinz during the presidential campaign of Sen. John F. Kerry, who is married to Sen. Heinz's widow, Teresa." Don't you love these Right Wingers. They want your stuff out there but not theirs. Rules apply to you but not me.SAY WHAT

THE VOTE IS IN
Back on 9/18/7 I did a Post on the Barry Bonds record breaking baseball. The guy that bought it put up a Web Site asking people to vote on what he should do with the ball now that he paid over $700k for it.
You had three choices (1) BESTOW IT, (2) BRAND IT or (3) Banish IT. Well the votes are in and number 2 BRAND IT won. So they are going to put an asterisk on it and give it to Cooperstown, which I heard said it would take it. And now you know the rest of the story. *Click here to see a better view of the image.

New Rule: And this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell If he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don't want to be on your webcam, Dude. I just want to wash my hands.
New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to hear '27 months.' 'He's two' will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place. New Rule: If you ever hope to be a credible adult and want a job that pays better than Minimum wage, then for God's sake don't pierce or tattoo every available piece of flesh. If so, then plan your future around saying, 'Do you want fries with that?MY KIDS

I've been fighting a lack of disk space for my BLOG for the past couple of months. I removed all the archives for 2006 and still had problems doing a FULL backup. I even paid to add additional disk space. Still I was having a problem.
I looked around and found that Go Daddy offered a Hosting plan that gives you 100 GB vs 3 GB provided by my current Hosting Service. With that much space I'll be able to have a couple of years of archives. So anyway, I've been down since last week so they could move my files from one Host to the other and now it looks like I'm back up and running. Keep your fingers crossed.MY KIDS

It's my Grand Daughters Birthday. She's now 3 years old.
Sometimes I wish I were three again. I can remember my mom rocking me in the rocking chair and singing to me. Happy Birthday Alexis from Grandpa. I love you.WHAT IS IT WITH IRISH CATHOLICS?
I just bought Jack Cafferty's new book "IT'S GETTING UGLY OUT THERE." You may or may not know that Jack does a segment each day on CNN's Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. He stands for common sense and reason regardless of your political leanings.
I'm only on page 3 of chapter one but that's not what I want to talk about but rather the Preface. It's a little background into Jack's up bring and how he got to be the way he is. As he says "Very little of my backstory qualifies as Hallmark Card material, but it may help you to make sense of the way I see and interpret what's going on around me." As he tells it is folks were Irish Catholics. They lived in Reno, Nevada. My mom battled booze and painkillers and, at times, deep depression. My dad was a complex, fascinating man: a hard-drinking, sometimes abusive parent when drunk, but a charming, outspoken local radio and TV celebrity when sober. Whatever my parents' heartaches and weaknesses, they taught me the importance of integrity, of truth telling, and of being able to give a man your word. I also learned from watching my dad at his best - - in the studio. His for relating to everyday people made him a friend of the common man. People sensed that he had character and honor. Maybe some of that rubbed off on me. To be continued. . .YOUR AMERICAN DOLLARS AT WORK

FOX SURPRISE
Well FOX is doing it again. After the President September 13th prime-time address on Iraq, FOX was the only broadcast network not to air the Democratic response, which was delivered by Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI).
Instead they went into their post speech coverage.FOX CENSORS SALLY FIELD'S ANTI-WAR SPEECH
At the Emmy Awards show, the audience cheered Sally Field's acceptance speech, which recognized the mothers of U.S. troops. "Surely this [award] belongs to all the mothers of the world," she stated. "May they be seen, may their work be valued and raised. Especially to the mothers who stand with an open heart and wait. Wait for their children to come home from danger, from harm's way, and from war. I am proud to be one of those women."
Field then continued, "If mothers ruled the world, there would be no -" But the Fox Emmycast cut off her sound and pointed the camera away from the stage, silencing the rest of her sentence: "god-damned wars in the first place." As a result FOX got the WORST ratings ever. Watch it:OK HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
Maybe your like me and don't follow baseball very closely or not at all, that's ok. But I'm guessing you've heard of Barry Bonds and the allegations that he used steroids. You might also know that he broke Hank Aaron's Home run record.
What you may not know is that the ball he hit to break that record recently was sold for over $700,000 dollars on eBay. You may also not know that you can help decide just what to do with that ball. Here are your choices: 1. Give it to Cooperstown. 2. Brand it with an asterisk and give it to Cooperstown. 3. Launch the ball into outer space. * You can make your choice ( I did ) here.

What the hell is it with the dems, are they just chicken-sh**s or what. They just can't seem to figure out how to stand up to the reps. An example is the MoveOn.org ad that ran last week.
The reps where talking about it every chance they could and the TV media where just all to happy to move it along. They all wanted the dems to take responsibility for the ad. Some of them did saying that they didn't think it was appropriate. Well jeez louise isn't that special!!! Now they want to except responsibility for something they had nothing to do with. Have you ever heard a rep claim responsibility for ANYTHING that Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Brit Hume, Michael Savage, Glen Beck and the entire Fox Noise Network have said? Hell no and you won't. But look here at these dems falling all over themselves saying how bad it was. I swear these folks just don't get it.

Last Friday I did a Post about Earmarks and my effort to get a list of them that my rep Jay Inslee has put forward.
I was never called on to ask a question during the Town Hall meeting but after the event in the parking lot I had a chance to shake Inslee's hand and give him my question (see below) that I had written down. He said he would see that I got an answer. We'll see. Here is the question:On July 6th I sent you an email requesting a list of all the Earmarks you have requested. I received no answer. On Aug 6 I sent you a second email requesting the list. I received no answer. On Aug 30th I called your Seattle office and talked to the gal that answered the phone. She took my name, address, phone and email and said she would take care of it. I received no answer. (by taking care of it she must have meant the round file). I have just three short questions: 1. Are Earmarks TOPSECRET or CLASSAFIED? 2. Why don't you post them on your WEB page? 3. Can I get a list of all your Earmarks and what they are for. So tomorrow Jay Inslee is having that Town Hall meeting where I hope to raise this question. I'll let you know what happens on Mondays Post.

THE BULLSHIT IS WORKING
Last night I watched the President give his assessment of the conditions in Iraq. To summarize his position "It's all good and we need to have an Enduring Relationship with Iraq".
I didn't need to sit through two days of Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker telling me how good the surge is going. My god who didn't know that. What isn't working is the Government. The ONE THING the surge was supposed to provide cover for. You knew as did I that Bush didn't need any of it to make up his mind, it was made up long ago. He is a man that can not, will not listen to dissenting opinion. Bush also thanked "the 36 nations who have troops on the ground in Iraq." But the State Department's most recent weekly report on Iraq said there are 25 countries supplying 11,685 troops -- about 7 percent of the size of the U.S. forces. Where are these other 11 countries. He said he was going to bring home all these troops in the next few months as though he was doing something wonderful. That's PURE BULLSHIT these guys where coming home anyway. They say if you want us out of Iraq it's "CUT AND RUN", you "HATE THE TROOPS" you "HATE AMREICA" but they can't tell us when this war will end and how many more dead Americans is enough. I think of the poem The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. "Forward, the Light Brigade!" Was there a man dismay'd? Not tho' the soldier knew Someone had blunder'd Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.WHAT DO YOU THINK?
GOING TO A TOWN HALL MEETING
Back on June 22, 2007 I did a Post about Earmarks or as Nancy Pelosi likes to call them "LEGISLATIVELY DIRECTED SPENDING" (well isn't that special).
At that time CNN had contacted all of congress to get a list of each members Earmarks. Most did not reply including our State reps. On July 6 2007 I sent Jay Inslee an email asking for this same info thinking since I'm one of his constituents I would surly get the list. I didn't in fact I didn't even get a reply to my email. On Aug 6 2-7 I sent Inslee a second email telling him I had not heard from him and that he should not take my last vote for him for granted and would he provide me with his lists of Earmarks. I never got answer to this email either. Finally on Aug 30 2007 I called his office in Seattle and they took down my info and was told they would get back to me. I'm still waiting. So tomorrow Jay Inslee is having that Town Hall meeting where I hope to raise this question. I'll let you know what happens on Mondays Post.HERE IS THAT CRYING GUY

THE MESS
A CHANGE IS TAKING PLACE
I've noticed a change taking place be it slowly, none the less I get the feeling it's happening.
One example of this is COUNTDOWN on MSNBC with Keith Olbermann. His show has slowly raised in the ratings until last week he passed The Bill O'Reilly a show that Fox Noise likes to promote as "The number one show in all of cable tv". NOT ANYMORE. A recent Poll was conducted and found the following:'Conservative values' in decline. Recent polls show a "decline in the public's embrace of the conservative social and economic values that have been the hallmark" of President Bush's politics. A recent CBS/New York Times poll found nine out of 10 people want "either major repairs to the health care system or a complete overhaul." The Pew Research Center "found a decline in the intensity of religious beliefs and more acceptances of homosexuals."I think people are just tired of the CHRISTIAN/CONSERVATIVE/NEO-CON FAR RIGHT. We want out of the war in Iraq, we don't hate Gays, we want women to control their lives including their health. We want affordable health care. I want to follow the Constitution and see nothing wrong with wiretap a phone using the Courts to protect all US citizens. I want Social Security fixed not screwed up and the same with medicare. I don't hate America and I do support the Troops I just don't want them put in harms way for no good reason or a lie.

THE MESS
THE ONLY QUESTION THAT NEEDED TO BE ASKED
Sen. John Warner in my opinion asked one of the most important questions of the two days of hearings:
ARE WE SAFER * * The answer of course is one that we all knew in advance of that question being answered. WE ARE NOT There is so much wrong with this war I won't go into the history but rather focus on today and tomorrow. What I got out of the past two days of talk was that where we put our troops we win it's that simple. The problem with an all volunteer army is you don't have enough troops to flood the country. I'm not a cop with years of training and experience under my belt but I can tell you that it doesn't take a genies to know if you have bad stuff going on in one part of your city that's where you send in added troops. DUH!!! What are the problems in Iraq? How much time do we have. The various factions have been at war with each other for hundreds of years we didn't understand or get that when we decided to go in. I'm not sure that we understand it even today. So the politics of the country is a major factor in moving forward. Infrastructure is poor. Power is available for only short periods of time. I can remember last winter I lost power a couple of times and it was hell. I lost my food in my freezer during one of these outages. I can't imagine what it would be like on a daily basis. Running water, don't make me laugh. I'm surprised that more people are not just dying from drinking this water. The average person can't feel safe in any part of Iraq regardless of how rosy John McCain tries to paint it. A few weeks ago Bush tried to make a connection to Viet Nam. Well here is one that I haven't heard anyone say. We cut funding for the war and the troops came home. Today we are trading partners with them. Think about that. To me pushing this war off to the next president by Bush is a disgrace. He should be spending everyday working on ending this damn war. There is nothing more important. What I don't get is this training issue. When a kid gets out of High School here in America and has decided to join the Army how long does it take our military to train him/her and send them over to Iraq. I think it's just months not years. So why does it take the Iraqi's so long?
And finally the MoveOn.org ad. How many of these guys back in Washington spent part of their time blasting this ad. I guess they just didn't have anything else important to say.
Can we all just agree that the U.S. Military has done it's job and stop all this BULLSHIT of not supporting the troops.
Else what the hell does the death of almost 4,000 of our troops mean if not fighting for free speech and freedom.

9/11 REMEMBERED
Back in 2003 I wrote this poem. It's not a great poem but it's how I felt on the second anniversary of that awful day.

THE MESS
IRAQ ALL DAY
Today we hear General Petraeus testify before Congress. He'll give his take on how he sees the war in Iraq.
For some background I gathered up various stats to give his talk some perspective.COMPARE TROOPS KILLED 2006 VS 2007
ALL YEARS: US / IRAQI
THE DOLLAR COST
TIME TO TAKE A STAND
I saw this in the New York Times over the weekend.
BY PAUL KRUGMAN NYT
Here's what will definitely happen when Gen. David Petraeus testifies before Congress this week: he'll assert that the surge has reduced violence in Iraq - as long as you don't count Sunnis killed by Sunnis, Shiites killed by Shiites, Iraqis killed by car bombs and people shot in the front of the head. Here's what I'm afraid will happen: Democrats will look at Gen. Petraeus's uniform and medals and fall into their usual cringe. They won't ask hard questions out of fear that someone might accuse them of attacking the military. After the testimony, they'll desperately try to get Republicans to agree to a resolution that politely asks President Bush to maybe, possibly, withdraw some troops, if he feels like it.
AMERICANS DON'T WANT US TO FAIL
By John McCain
I understand why Americans are so frustrated and saddened. They saw nearly four years of failure and needless sacrifice. This new strategy and this new general are succeeding. Is it long and hard and tough? Yes. Are there still problems with the Maliki government? Significant problems. Are there problems with the police? Yes. The police are still corrupt. But the good news here is that Anbar province is dramatically better. Most neighborhoods in Baghdad now have a degree of security they didn't have before. The Kurdish areas are veryquiet.
GRAHAM GIVES OPTIMISTIC IRAQ ASSESSMENT
The surge in Iraq is working and political reconciliation in that war-torn country is coming, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Thursday.
"The environment is the best it's been since the fall of Baghdad for people to sit down at the table and work through their problems," he told a forum at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think tank.
THE 18 IRAQ BENCHMARKS
Here is the complete set of benchmarks submitted to Congress in the "Initial Benchmark Assessment Report" dated July 12, 2007.
Benchmarks: (1) Forming a Constitutional Review Committee and then completing the constitutional review. (2) Enacting and implementing legislation on de-Baathification. (3) Enacting and implementing legislation to ensure the equitable distribution of hydrocarbon resources of the people of Iraq without regard to the sect or ethnicity of recipients, and enacting and implementing legislation to ensure that the energy resources of Iraq benefit Sunni Arabs, Shia Arabs, Kurds, and other Iraqi citizens in an equitable manner. (4) Enacting and implementing legislation on procedures to form semi-autonomous regions. (5) Enacting and implementing legislation establishing an Independent High Electoral Commission, provincial elections law, provincial council authorities, and a date for provincial elections. (6) Enacting and implementing legislation addressing amnesty. (7) Enacting and implementing legislation establishing a strong militia disarmament program to ensure that such security forces are accountable only to the central government and loyal to the Constitution of Iraq. (8) Establishing supporting political, media, economic, and services committees in support of the Baghdad Security Plan. (9) Providing three trained and ready Iraqi brigades to support Baghdad operations. (10) Providing Iraqi commanders with all authorities to execute this plan and to make tactical and operational decisions, in consultation with U.S commanders, without political intervention, to include the authority to pursue all extremists, including Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias. (11) Ensuring that the Iraqi Security Forces are providing even handed enforcement of the law. (12) Ensuring that, according to President Bush, Prime Minister Maliki said 'the Baghdad security plan will not provide a safe haven for any outlaws, regardless of sectarian or political affiliation'. (13) Reducing the level of sectarian violence in Iraq and eliminating militia control of local security. (14) Establishing all of the planned joint security stations in neighborhoods across Baghdad. (15) Increasing the number of Iraqi security forces units capable of operating independently. (16) Ensuring that the rights of minority political parties in the Iraqi legislature are protected. (17) Allocating and spending $10 billion in Iraqi revenues for reconstruction projects, including delivery of essential services, on an equitable basis. (18) Ensuring that Iraq's political authorities are not undermining or making false accusations against members of the Iraqi Security Forces. Rebel cleric Muqtada al Sadr's militia, the Mahdi Army, still controls parts of the city, and some Iraqis believe it has expanded its hold since the surge began. Many members of the parliament are loyal to the Sadrist bloc.

THE MESS
WE DO LETTERS
Earlier this week I saw a letter to the editor of the Kitsap Sun from a Ray Womack. It caught my eye because it talked about the HATE for President Bush he sees coming from the democrats.
I did a little research and found that this was actually the second letter he wrote having written on back on 8/15/2007 that started all of this. I just had to put my two cents worth in the mix. I sent a letter as well this week it didn't make it in the paper so I'm putting it here. Starting with the first letter down to my letter. Read on.1 - BUSH-BASHING CURRENT SPORT OF CHOICE
Bashing Bush seems to be the sport of choice by letter writers across the county. In an earlier time when an election was over and winners assumed their office the campaign was over.
The voters had made their choice and the majority put in place our leaders until the next election. Such leaders need our support if they are to function. This seems to have changed and the Democrat Party apparently accepts the democratic process only when they win. Campaigning doesn't stop for them when the election is over and they pull out all the stops in an effort to destroy the one who wasn't their choice. Criticism of the winner is certainly acceptable but that isn't what is happening. Hate seems to be the controlling emotion. Ray Womack - 8/15/2007, Olalla
2 - NO, WE SHOULDN'T LIKE BUSH
It never ceases to amaze me that some backers of a political figure never let go of the adulation of their appointed savior.
A case in point is Ray Womack's letter of Aug. 15 extolling the electoral victories of George Bush and asking why the people don't back him up. Okay, look at what happened in the elections. In 2000 he stole the election in Florida. In 2004, a repeat in Ohio. Ray talks about people hating Bush. I don't think people hate him. Dislike perhaps - disgusted, yes, because the man is despicable. Just look where he has taken the U.S., to a minus $500 billion and going down fast. What do we care! Our children can make it up, right? So if you like the man, his ill-advised invasion of Iraq, and getting our young men killed, remember that he was a draft-dodger and maybe a deserter from the National Guard. One nation under God is a good slogan, but one nation under George W. Bush sure is not the way I understand what this country is supposed to be about. Jacques Dubos, POULSBO
3 - NO EVIDENCE
I must thank Mr. Jacques Dubos of Poulsbo for his letter of August 21.
His comments were perfect in making my point. As is routinely common in the Bush-bashing game, no credible evidence is offered to back up the claims. Democrats never do their homework. It is easier to fabricate or misapply the facts and use emotion to force the opposition to accept them. We must thank the Good Lord and the authors for our First Amendment. It is being sorely molested and abused to serve the whims and fantasies of rapacious jurists. But it will prevail. Ray Womack - 9/4/2007, OLALLA
4 - MY TURN REGARDING RAY WOMACK'S LETTERS
Has he been in the South Pole for the past 6-7 years? Maybe he doesn't read the paper or have access to the Internet or maybe he it just to stubborn (not my first choice) to face the truth.
This has nothing to do with hating Bush, it has everything to do with the loss of nearly 4000 young Americans and countless Iraqi civilians for a war that is just a waste. I could rehash the WMD's, the Saddam 9/11 connection but why all thinking people already know that. The truth of the matter is that George W Bush has lost the TRUST and CONFIDANCE of the majority of American people. That would by the way include democrats, republicans and independents. Americans every one of them. I haven't heard even one republican that is running for president say they want to do things just like George did them, but rather they all want to be the next Ronny. The next letter you write Ray should say something you left out of your previous two and that is that we all hate our troops and America. Yea that's the ticket now you've covered all the bases.NEW BOOK

THEY CAN'T BE SERIOUS
Did you watch the Republican Debate last night? I did and I found it quite interesting for several reasons. First except for Ron Paul the basic stance on Iraq for all these guys is MORE WAR, WAR IS A GOOD THING. They can't wait to GO INTO IRAN. They are a bunch of tough guys. I didn't hear anything about what we need to do for our country except CUT TAXES and use the CREDIT CARD like Bush does I assume. The estate tax (death tax to the reps, to make it sound scarry) is a good idea to Rudy. He has some very rich friends. I would love to see a chart that shows the amount of time each candidate had by the end of the show. Yea they covered all the HOT TOPICS like:ABORTION SEN. LARRY CRAIG GAY MARRIAGE SUPPORTING IRAQ WAR FRED THOMPSON IMMIGRATIONWhat was missing was:
HEALTH CARE EDUCATION CLIMATE CHANGE INFRASTRUCTUREI didn't see a dimes worth of difference between these guys. I did hear that tired talking point TAX and SPEND democrats, those NASTY, NAUGHTY BOYS and GIRL.
Here is some Tax and Spend truth:
YOU KNOW YOUR ON FOX NOISE
I've talked about this before and if you watched the GOP debate last night you may of noticed some of the BULLSHIT these FOX BOYS use.
Here is just a little example of how they work their crap. The other night they had Mike Rogers on Hannity and Colmes. They spelled his name as ROdGERS when it should be ROGERS. They some how added th
