the way i see it

[click image]

I'm getting ready to go babysit the invalid who nearly killed herself with booze a couple weeks ago while another friend's ashes are being scattered atop Mt. Tamalpias today, and spending the night there so as to be able to make my early appointments tomorrow morning for blood tests, and picking up my cpap machine, which I believe I will call my "sleeping contraption". So you won't be hearing much from me for the next 24 hours.

But I wanted to leave you with the notion that * and Fudd and all their neocon and Wall Street compatriots have been trying pretty hard to bring on WWIII, the more so now that they have used up so much materiel on their vicious adventures, looting us blind... needing as they will something to regenerate trillions more to loot. They have spectacularly bungled it, even as their wish for destabilization of just about everything has succeeded beautifully. Their obsession with driving the price of oil through the roof has put Russia back on its feet. I have been wailing about the price of gas for so long, but I believe now I can look at all those painful moments by the pump as my contribution to the prevention of WWIII. No matter how bad it gets here economically, I'm going to remember that we deserve it, and I'm going to keep wishing with all my heart that Russia succeeds in stopping us from pillaging the rest of the world to recover ourselves.

Putin and Medvedev have done more to save us from these murderating fucks than anyone in Congress and I wish you'd bear that in mind. Insofar as we have elected these people, we should repent it.

See you tomorrow.

Women really are the other half of the sky.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
