....recent poll of U.S./ survey on whether Israel was justified to go into Gaza:44% Yes41% NoTomorrow, %s will likely be reversed, with more news time for demonstrations, photos, endless processions of Palestinian talking heads, the requisite allotment of dead and bloody children, and talk of merciless bombings of Hospitals, Mosques, and Schools by the ruthless Israeli "offense" Force.Rarely do I hear of the 3-4 thousand misslie that have fallen upon Israel over the last several years.Or, after leaving gaza after almost forty years of occupation, the Israelis have been continuously bombedand rocketed, or that the Egyptians give quiet tacit approval to the infiltration of rockets from their contiguous border,or that Hamas, Hezbolah, and the Taliban are all supported by Iran, who is the true culprit of moral animus in this world, along with their puppet, Syria, eta, or that those same Mosques, schools, and hospitals are launching/storage points ofweapons of mass destruction (missles-new and improved/made in Iran or China), or that children are taught to Hate through song and Martyrdom. Or that Israel is tiny, at it narrowist only 7-8 miles wide, with a view of the Mediterranean from the Golan Heights, on a clear and sunny day.How would Americans respond if drug lords from south of the Rio Grande launched missiles (with a blind eye from the Mexican government) onto San Diego and southern U.S.towns, twenty five miles into our border? Would we determine the extent of our wrath by limiting a response to equaling the number of deaths and injuries sustained by our civilians; or our soldiers; or our infra-structure? Would not the police in your town respond with all at their disposal if a threat was at hearth and home? Or would "one" deign to ask for a band aid while the transgressor is huffing and puffing at your very threshhold? I choose to protect my life and limb, property, loved ones, and the right to quiet enjoyment. It is difficult to loose the dogs of war in the midst of cyber-space. Only Western armies even attempt to diminish the risk of civilian casualties, at the cost to the safety of "le soldat". But each casualty is counted; even the unsubstantiated orexaggerated...The fish I caught was yeaaaaah big!!...It is not my intent to make light of death and suffering, but neithershould one continually turn the other cheek whilst being molested...That ability is best left for those more divine than I.The Solution:From a bourgeoise perspective; Mother Palestinians-self actualize your children. Preach love, peace, education. Be constructive in thought and action. Forgive...Peace...Shalom...Salam... From the intransigent perspective; Push Zion into the sea.Mothers-Take back your children's lives from outside instigators. Remove Hezbolah/Hama/Iranian Influence...Allow a Nato peace Force to be a temporary stepping stone toward an independent and stable state.Rejoin the world by emulating your great ancestral scholars, astronomers and mathematicians.Turn Jihad into Plowshares...Allah and your children will be lovingly proud.

"I would have picked (Linda) Darling-Hammond (for Education Secretary), but then again I would have picked Noam Chomsky for state, Naomi Klein for defense, Bernardine Dohrn for Attorney General, Bill Fletcher for commerce, James Thindwa for labor, Barbara Ransby for human services, Paul Krugman for treasury, and Amy Goodman for press secretary. So what do I know?"
Bernardine Dohrn, September 1969.
"Social Security is a ponzi scheme identical to Madoff's. Rather than generate wealth through productive investments, both schemes transfer wealth from newer investors to older investors."
"Let me just remind you that there presently is no African-American in the U.S. Senate ... I will ask you to not hang and lynch the appointee as you try to castigate the appointer. I don't think that anyone -- any U.S. senator who's sitting in the Senate right now -- wants to go on record to deny one African-American for being seated in the U.S. Senate."
Iraq's Christians, a scant minority in this overwhelmingly Muslim country, quietly celebrated Christmas on Thursday with a present from the government, which declared it an official holiday for the first time.....In his homily on Thursday, Chaldean Cardinal Emmanuel III Delly praised the establishment of Christmas as an official holiday as a step toward easing tensions.
"I thank the government for giving chances to all to serve each other for the general benefit, and I thank it too for making this day an official holiday where we pray to God to make us trust each other as brothers," he said at the Christmas Mass before several dozen worshippers in the small chapel of a Baghdad monastery.A senior Shiite cleric, Ammar al-Hakim, attended the Mass flanked by bodyguards in a gesture of cooperation with Christians.
"I thank the visitors here and ask them to share happiness and love with their brothers on Christmas; by this they will build a glorious Iraq," the cardinal said.

And no, the coming of Christmas to Iraq did not happen the way The Onion (Dec 17) recently described it!
"The president of the United States now for 50 years is followed at all times, 24 hours a day, by a military aide carrying a football that contains the nuclear codes that he would use and be authorized to use in the event of a nuclear attack on the United States." "He could launch the kind of devastating attack the world has never seen. "He doesn't have to check with anybody. He doesn't have to call the Congress. He doesn't have to check with the courts. He has that authority because of the nature of the world we live in."(Vice-President Cheney-Dec 21,2008)
By their failure to assure the American people of Barack Obama's eligibility to hold the office of President of the United States, our Supreme Court Justices have abdicated responsibility and allowed for the likely possession of our highest office by a usurper.

President-elect Obama says he plans to use all three of his names when he takes the oath of office in January, giving voice to a name that was used heard during the campaign except by critics.
In his first post-election newspaper interview, with reporters from the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, Obama was asked: “Do you anticipate being sworn in as Barack Obama or Barack Hussein Obama?"
He replied: “I think the tradition is that they use all three names, and I will follow the tradition, not trying to make a statement one way or the other. I'll do what everybody else does.”
