Everything You've Ever Wanted
Today we begin with a possible philippino spy in the White House who allegedly stole over one hundred classified documents from vice president Cheney's computers. According to a criminal complaint, the man was arrested last month while he worked for the FBI at an intelligence center in Fort Monmouth, N.J.

Al Gore is concerned about the loss of America's "marketplace of ideas" due to television and the consolidation of power within the few who own the airwaves. In a speech today he talked of forming his own network which will recreate a multi- way conversation that includes individuals and operates according to a meritocracy of ideas.
***Gore Broadcasts His Own Views***
With the Palestinian Israeli conflict looking rosier every day, it really helps that Bush was quoted by Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas as saying, "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
***Bush Says God Told Him To Invade Iraq***
The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect “total accuracy” from the Bible. It seems verses like, "God said to the woman [after she was beguiled by the serpent]: I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” don't go over very well these days.
***God reveals himself to Moses as: “I am who I am.”***
A new advertising campagin for Ireland's largest bookmaker, Paddy Power PLC, featured Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper table- playing poker and roulette alongside the slogan, "There's a place for fun and games." After receiving scores of complaints from the public, the offending billboards were replaced with new Paddy Power ads that said: "There's a place for fun and games. Apparently this isn't it."
***Take A Gamble With Jesus***
Ahh, on to SCOTUS nominee Harriet Miers. Now as far as I can tell her most recent job was White House counsel who headed the search for the appointment of herself, and before that she was chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission. Now I don't know about you but it seems to me that appointing somebody who's never even judged a case to the highest court in the land is insane. I can't wait to see how Republicans struggle to praise her judicial record when she doesn't have one. This should be an interesting line of questioning in Congress.
"So, if you ever were a judge, how would you..."
"Let's pretend you were a judge and you had to make a really big decision..."
Considering that we know nothing about her, or how she feels one way or another in respect to anything, and we don't expect to get any info anytime soon (a la Roberts) we are pleased to present a link to Wonkettes Miers look-a-like contest.

Think About It
Is 100,000 people together worth anything? I mean how many people like NASCAR? At least a couple of million right? Hmmm, cause I don't give a shit about NASCAR. So it sorta evens out huh? But it can't be bad that people are finally pissed off. It's just to late. See I have it all figured out. The Republicans have it all mapped out. They ARE TRULY BAD FOR YOU. Now I will tell you what I think the Repub thinktanks are plotting oh, let's say, for the next fifteen years.
First of all people say that the prez is a lame duck, cause he's in his second term, and not getting his agenda through, and that this is bad for him. Poppycock. This is what I would want if I was an evil scum sucking Repub- you get my drift.
The prez being 'lame duck' gets no leeway from voters as he is in his second term and he can't use the excuse of being inexperienced, or being handed a whole bag of troubles that he didn't create, in other words, the Clinton excuse. But the beauty of the Repubs' strategy is that Bush will take all the heat and anger and blame (when there is more than enough to go around) and I feel the Repubs know that they will not win on 08. I feel, and I think, the thinktanks know this- that there will no longer be 'long' Republican or Democratic administrations and by long I mean more that two terms. People need change and in this day and age they seem very succeptable toward blaming others, hence, administration change. Anyway, of course Bush can't run again and it seems even the people who voted for him now suddenly begin to realize, "this is not the guy I should have picked".
Oops.
So I see the Dems taking o8. No big suprise there. And you also say, oh the Repubs blew it. And this is where I disagree and am so troubled by what I see occuring in the govenment right now. I've said this from the begining, and every day it becomes more true. The cocksuckers in the White House knew if they could just get us in, just in, using any and every bald faced and covert lie known to mankind- just fucking get us in there, we would be stuck. Bush will, and should, go down in the history books (if there are any) as a man who, with a cadre of other charlitans, conned a nation into an unwinnable 'war'. For the long term. For the corporations. The guys who make the fuel and guns and tanks and sell them to people who use them to kill people and pollute our small, wonderful planet.
Now the line is we 'can't cut and run', well what the hell did we do in Vietnam? Did the sky fall when we left? And the people whos son or daughter just got killed blindly follow the administrations line. From the yahoo story linked above:
Gary Qualls, 48, of Temple, Texas, whose Marine reservist son, Louis, died last year in the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, asked: "If you bring them home now, who's going to be responsible for all the atrocities that are fixing to happen over there? Cindy Sheehan?"
No, jackass, the Iraqis. We give them money and supplies, energy, food, water- whatever, but get our troops out of that hellhole. Iraq is not our country. It is not going to become a state in the union. We went in there illegally- without the proper U.N. security council resolution, and the people who can stop the bombing and killing over there are Iraqis, not U.S. troops. So enough is enough. It was a mistake and a blatantly illegal act to go there in the first place and every day we stay it will be harder to leave. Wanting to create democratic governments in the middle east is a noble and worthwile cause. But you do not acheive that end at the point of a gun.
To have democracy flourishing in the middle east will take decades in the fastest scenario.
If I can figure this out, don't tell me the thinktanks cannot foresee or project this. Bush and his cronies sent our troops in there swinging, knowing that initiating battlee in the middle east, dispite the assurances of swft victory, would basically mean the beginning of an endless and protracted war with no difinative victory goal. Citizens of America, listen now, as I have an eleven year old and I am worried. Unless you want your kids to get drafted in ten years and serve as cannon fodder for corporate interests abroad, there is some serious housecleaning to do in Washington D.C.
Bill Frist under investigation by the SEC. Can anyone say 'Martha Stewart?'
Tom Delay feigns innocence, while his associates are being indicted.
And guess what kids, get used to John Roberts, as you'll be seeing him for the next, oh, let's say thirty plus years as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. After stonewalling the Senate on any real point of view about anything, the best we get from Senators who voted for him are musings like, "Well, I don't think he'll overturn Roe vs Wade."
"I have too many unanswered questions about the nominee to justify a vote confirming him to this enormously important lifetime position," said Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid. Five Democrats -- Sens. Dianne Feinstein of California, Joseph Biden of Delaware, Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, Charles Schumer of New York and Dick Durbin of Illinois -- opposed Roberts. Not that it stopped it, but at least there are a few thinking people left in the Senate. And there is another vacancy coming up with Sandra Day O' Connor departing to be with her ailing husband. Look out.
But what I'm getting at is the administration right now is altering the very fabric of our society, minute changers here, a little alteration over there, and before you know it, we're living in a facist state. Right now we have Gitmo in Cuba- the U.S. constitution dosen't apply there- how convienient for a police state. Did you know as of Sept. 10th Bush can indefinitely detain a U.S. citizen captured on U.S. soil without any criminal charges, holding that such authority is vital during wartime to protect the nation from terrorist attacks? Dosen't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?!? What a spectacular, free society I live in! Remember kids, USA is #1! Uncle Sam can do no wrong! Drink the kool-aid!
Yes, Bush will be gone in three plus years- still to long for me- but the damage he and his cabal are doing to our country is so bad right now is scares the shit out of me. And the effects will be long lasting. Hopefully, the nation is waking up and realizing they got sold a pack of lies by men who have no business running this country and are beholden only to their corporate masters. Sacry, huh? But true.
Anyone following the Cindy Sheehan circus? Well, she was arrested outside the White House in the culmination of the rally held in D.C. this weekend. Boy, if she isn't getting to be a thorn in the side of ol' G.W. . . .
Okay I leave for Phoenix tomorrow, as my sister gets married Oct. 1st. I got alot to do today, and I'm jumping in the shower now.
Feel free to ignore any or all of the opinions expressed above.

.--. |V|Canada's first major UFO symposium- calling for complete government disclosure concerning the reality of UFOs and the extraterrestrial presence on Earth- will feature the 82-year-old Paul Hellyer, former cabinet minister from Canada. Mr. Hellyer says he believes not only that UFOs are extraterrestrial visitors, but that some governments - the United States at least - know all about it and are covering up. "For some strange reasons, our governments can't come forward to talk to us about what these energy sources are," he says. "Because oil is just about $70 a barrel and that would undercut a lot of the power structure, the World Bank . . . the fossil fuel industry. "They are just not prepared to handle this."

The announcement seemingly came as a surprise to President Bush, who was touring hurricane-ravaged Louisiana and Mississippi. "Maybe you know something I don't know. I've been working." Bush said when asked by reporters about the news.
4. Now, Bush acts as if he is taking full responsibility. But there is NO way he woud have done this in his first term. He's a lame duck and the only thing he can do now is try to save face for the history books. In other words, just words.
"You're doing a great job, Brownie."
plus
"I take responsibility for the failures"
equals
FLIP-FLOP
His admission of responsibility means absolutely nothing unless he is prepared to accept consequences for his failings. And that's never going to happen. So, everyone enjoy this little fart in the breeze. That's all it amounts to.
He isn't taking personal responsibility for the disaster that was caused by his horrid leadership and pathetic management. He is taking responsibility as the institution of the office of the president, but blaming the Federal government. I know it's a fine line and some will not be able to distinguish, but there is a difference.
"To the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility."
All things considered, it's the best thing Bush could have done in the situation.
1. Appearance. He admitted there were problems and says he is moving to correct them before the next time. Politics as it is, get ready for mainly smoke and mirrors, but people want to see 'something' happen from all this.
2. Party Wise. Bush is in his final term. This could be a way to 'take one for the team' and take some heat off of their next Presidential nominee. Maybe if Clinton had of put his party ahead of him and taken responsibility (or the appearance of it) before the scandal grew to the size it did, we would have had at least 4 more years of a Democrat in office.

Poetry And Fun
Last we spoke, I had written an (I thought) amusing poem to the world of us bloggers. Well, after much time up and down the mountain, I have realized that when Yahoo (whom with I have a spammy email account) helps give information to lock up a Chinese (dissident) man for ten years, there really is a bad building block in the protien of humanity. If all corporations (and their shareholders) seek is monetary recompensense for their time and efforts, we will see capitolism funding totalinarianism as it already does fundamentalimsm. Glug, glug, $5.00 a gallon soon enough. I have been working on a computer all day, so I'm in the writing zone. Anyone out there remember when I used to post with witty commentary, spotty pictures, and uninteligable prose? Well, those golden days of yore are yet to return here on Aquanaut Drinks Coffee for those of you who have made it this far.
I have been taking ALOT of pictures recently. Visual arts are cool ! ! !
.:*A*:._.:*R*:._.:*T*:.

If that is not the WORST conan face you've ever seen, please tell me so. I hide out in this nest of silken cords. Spun by some prehistoric eagle type creature- I can't tell anymore.

Perhaps my memory begins to fail, or is it my vengeful soul, blotting out the past? If only time could tell, but that's the one thing I just don't have anymore . . . time. The chains bind, metal squeals, and the five forces of nature (some think there are six; there are five), the five forces of nature sweep down to tear poor New [atlantis] Orleans to the ground. One day you've got a decent house-
the next day, it's a stinky cat's asshole-
Yes, friends, bloggers, and Hugo Chavez, the one true truth. Cause, you know, only one guy has it, and I'm the man. So where were we, oh yes, the ONE BBBIIIGGG TRUTH.
Yes.
Ahem.
. . . . .
COUGH.
The one biiiiig truth. Okay, here I go.
The truth is that all exsistance, all energy, spiritual or otherwise, is ordaned by one diety.
Ahhhem.
One diety.
And, on this all night of nights, I am more than honored, I am in contract by blood to reveal this master of all merciful masters, lord of all his bountiful pleasures, and a damn good drinking buddy . . .
Ladies and germs, this has gone on far too long for the paltry payoff - - - but I PRESENT TEWWWWW YEWWWWW:

You scratch your back
You take the plunge
Reaching behind
Brings forth a small
Egg of plenty
or I am so enamored with this disipline, I give you another:

Red is what I saw
Red is what I said
Blue is how I feel
Because of what you said,
Red drips down your head
Sweet dreams!

A great big heart of red who probably should,

Deja vu all over again
Well, it seems little Bush had to run back from his month-long vacation to tell the oil companies not to gouge consumers. Meanwhile, Georgia governor Sonny Perdue signed an executive order authorizing state sanctions against gas retailers who price gouge.
Now let's read the NY Times editorial on Bush's impotent response to the tragedy in New Orleans. Note the part on global warming. Remember those four hurricanes that all hit Florida in the span of a month? I think I see a pattern. Now let's read how the Bush administration and Congress in recent years have repeatedly denied full funding for hurricane preparation and flood control.
Sorry!
heh, heh . . .
To busy repealing the estate tax for people who were born with a sliver spoon in their mouth.
I see.
I just want to state to the world right now, and especially Hugo Chavez, as I know this is one of his favorite blogs, I feel that someone should, and I would be happy if someone did, assasinate president Bush. Thanks Pat Robertson, I can now express my compassionate conservatisim with renewed vigor and strength. And as I know, they have word filters, and the CIA/FBI will read this- so fuck you all- you spook cocksuckers.
Ahhh . . .
That felt good.
And in other news, here are some tree facts. It never hurts to know more about our stalwart friends- the trees! With all that 'Inteligent Design' and creationist BS out there in the courts right now, it's comforting to know scientists have deciphered the DNA of the chimpanzee! At least to me, this confirms Darwins theory of evoloution. Not that we know why (aliens?), but we diverged genetically from chimps about 6,000,000 years ago. Exciting, I say. And what about that hot spot on Enceladus? What causes it? Let's send a probe, let's check it out!
Now here's an interesting case of covert racisim. By the media- who woulda thunk it?!? The Associated Press decides to caption their pictures diffrently, based on, what looks like to me, skin color alone. You be the judge.
I went on a nice long hike today in the Uintas, the big ass mountain range behind where I live. It's so beautiful and peaceful to be out in the trees, cool wind on your brow, and a beautiful girl and clever little dog to share it with. My soul, which has been so scattered and frayed by the past decade, is again learning to accept peace and security (mixed with a little happiness) onto itself, and I am thankful for that. So anyway, we were hiking up to this ute, and we somehow stumbled upon a giant field of tall green plants, which, using my eighth-grade biology schooling, I immediatley identified as marijuana. No, I'm joking, but read here about the rampant plant growing going on right around me. I feel like I'm living in an episode of Dragnet!
I have been listening to way too much Warren Zevon recently. Strangely, he's on the radio right now. The local DJ in Park City is playing three in a row. I might just call him and tell him he made my night. :) To me, Zevon has alot of cheesy songs and then just fucking brilliant tunes. You gotta filter through it. Anyone heard of the New Pornographers? Ryan said he just got the new one, and it's great. I need to get into a new band in which either (A)the guy's not dead, or (B)at least the band is still touring.
Okay all, I hope I brought a smile to your face, or at least a wry chuckle.
Live it up- it's all you got.
