6/18/2009:   Ahmadinejad's numbers were way over expectations in the recent election, nearly 2/3rds of the vote. Experts had predicted his rival would probably win or at worst come in a very close second. But Ah-ma-dinner-jacket won in a landslide.

6/18/2009:   Obama has turned out to be something of a dud. He's closing Guantanamo (eventually), but not Baghraim. He's giving gay federal employees full marital benefits, but leaving the Defense of Marriage Act and "Don't Ask Don't Tell" intact. He's making some noise about healthcare, but hasn't actually done anything. He promised to get our troops out of Iraq, but it doesn't seem to be actually happening. He's leaving Bush's most anti-Constitution policies in place and protecting the corporations that violated the Constitution at Bush's request. He promised the transparency in government that our country so desperately needs, but he won't release documents or logs and provides no good reason why.

When he said it's time for change, what change was he referring to if not the opposite of what Bush had done to the country for eight damned years?

For that reason, Obama's banner is gone from my page. I'm tired of having my chain yanked. I want someone in office that will *actually* bring real change to Washington, not just talk a mean game and then perpetuate the worst crimes against our nation that previous administrations have enacted.

6/18/2009:   Cheney and his completely unqualified daughter have spent a lot of breath unsuccessfully tearing at the president's Middle East, Guantanamo, and torture document positions. Bush, to date, had been silent, probably the smartest thing he's done in the last two decades.

6/18/2009:   Former Miss California Carrie Prejean was fired for being a contract violating bitch. Good riddance.

Palin got pissed off over a poorly told, but actually pretty funny, joke that David Letterman told about her daughter getting knocked up by Alex Rodriguez. He was a gentleman and apologized twice on his show. She's still trying to make hay with it. Whatever.

Liz Cheney is a lying sack just like her father. No surprise there, I guess.

John Edwards played this nation for fools when he messed around on his wife and yet made a serious play for the office of president. Why is even in the news? He should occupy himself with charity work or something for the rest of his life rather than asking peole to vote him into any kind of public office.

Hannity got his butt kicked on national television by Jessie Ventura on his show. You can't put a lie past Ventura, who is one smart, down to earth guy. Hannity was trembling like a little punk half the time, and was whining and lying the other half. What a moron.

There were never any WMDs in Iraq.
No links to Al Qaeda.
No ties to 9/11.
Bush, Cheney, and Condie lied to you.
You ignored the facts.
You re-elected a liar and a murderer by proxy.
But now it's time to show your support for the troops.

I'm going to leave this up for a while yet. These traitors have not been held accountable for their crimes, and I want to make sure they never quite leave the public eye. Bush and Cheney deserve to be in jail, but even if that justice is never meted out, our nation deserves to have the crimes publicly recognized and measures taken to ensure that such a presidency can never happen again.

The following people voted against the Constitution, against the Fourth Amendment, against your rights, freedoms, liberties, and protections. A version of the FISA reform bill that grants retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that broke the law at the president's behest and gives the president the ability to grant immunity without oversight or further authorization, has passed the United States House of Representatives on Friday, June 20th, 2008. These are the people that voted for that measure. Included among them are Democrats that have betrayed their constituencies, including my own Jerry McNerney. Let us not forget these traitors at election time.
