Kolbe also said there has been "little planning" in the way funds are spent
I would say shovelling the money into Halliburton's pockets is a hell of a plan.

Y'know, I need, like, twelve hundred bucks a month to get by. That's all. Multiply me by the entire country, and we're talking at most $460 million. A month. That'll pay the bills, and allow some small comforts. Round it up to $500 million for the sake of some hefty mortgages and rents. Heck, make it $1 billion, because of apartment prices in New York City.
I can't get that thousand bucks without scraping and working my ass off. There aren't jobs for what I used to do, and in my current physical condition fast food or retail would kill me for a pittance. Multiply that, as well, by at least fifty million men, women, and children who are having tough times just getting by .
But this motherfucker of a preznit we're stuck with blithely tacks another $80 billion -- outside the budget and the budget process, mind you -- onto the already obscene bill for an obscene war.
Nuckin' futz.

The White House yesterday endorsed the assassination of Saddam Hussein as a means of achieving its aim of regime change in Iraq.
Ari Fleischer, the White House press secretary, said that a "one-way ticket" or a "single bullet" were ways of dealing with the Iraqi leader. Fleischer emphasized that the Bush administration had no plans to rescind the executive order, which prohibits the assassination of heads of state.
Fleischer called reporters after the briefing to tone down the impact of his words.
"I was making a rhetorical point about the cost of the bullet," he said. "The point I'm making is not an administration policy. If the Iraqi people took events into their own hands, the world would not shed a tear. I'm not stating administration policy, I'm stating the obvious."

But gee, that's what Edward Said always said about the Sha-nah-nah - a one bullet democracy. This administration never gets anything right at the right time do they? Just one big grab bag; pull out whatever you touch and make it fit.

The chief architect of the "single bullet theory" was the Warren Commission's ambitious junior counsel, Arlen Specter, now U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. In the reenactment photo (below right) Specter, with his pointer in hand, attempts to make the "single bullet theory" appear more plausible by deceptively indicating a straight line trajectory for the bullet.

The credibility of the story adrift in cyberspace had less to do with the certainty of the numbers than with the character of the Bush Administration. If we know nothing else about the government now returning to office in Washington, we know that it doesn't hesitate to cheat and steal and lie. Its family values are those of the Corleone and Soprano families, and thus in line not only with the heartland values of the nineteenth-century American frontier but also with the predatory modus operandi of our twenty-first-century business corporations; an administration capable of perpetrating the murderous fraud of Operation Iraqi Freedom almost certainly would count it as a loss of face if it couldn't further serve God's will by fixing a presidential election....
Much more - Harper's, it turns out, doesn't believe the story being told by the Shrubbery. No, not at all.

OK, Atrios, yer the economist around here; If all the money poured down the Iraq rathole, about $200B so far, another $80B coming up, had been stuck into 5 year CDs, to be rolled over every 5 years, and the proceeds deeded to the SSTF, what would have been the overall effect on the Great Social Security Question?

When we propose spending like this, since it's pure Deficit Spending, we're, in effect, asking Red China and Japan--and others, too, of course--to finance whatever the hell it is we just proclaimed we want to do. Can we rely on them--mainly China--to always base their T-Bill buying decisions solely on financial considerations? Is politics not going to rear it's ugly head, and leave Uncle Sugar trying to peddle paper that other nations shoul want, but for purely political reasons, do not?
Or are the above the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind?

So, what is the answer - what do we do? Someone I know tells me that we have to stop paying taxes - yeah, right! Both my jobs take taxes right on out of my checks. I don't want to go to jail for nonpayment of taxes, either.
Ô¿Ô - Glad to see that you are ok. Was it GWPDA that was telling you about the big cats in your area and how String could be related. Roowwwr!

I must have missed what she wrote. But we have these huge black cats here and that's one of the reasons I took String. There's one where I work I've seen late at night next to a huge swamp. I'm serious, if you saw that thing up close, it would chill your blood. They're lengthier and larger than a regular cat.

The legend is that the animals can talk in Christmas eve..

The lack of accountability, the lack of fiscal responsibility of this administration just leaves me bewildered.
As bull moose points out, $40 million will be spent on the inaugural ball this year, an all-time record.
Can someone explain this to me?

I thought the legend was that Liddy Dole's auxillary nipple moved to the other side of her body on Christmas eve, all while reciting somoe of Bukowski's poetry.
Or maybe it was that Liddy used vaginal farts to play Jingle Bells.

Incog - It's true about the legend. It's an old one - at the stroke of midnight between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, animals can talk. But only then - you have to catch them quick.

Ô¿Ô - the deal is that 12 midnight of Christmas Eve/Christmas, every animal in the world is granted the gift of speech for a short time(for sharing so nicely with the wee babe). The thing is, that after a year, they may not have anything to say - or too much saved up to speak. So you have to be ready and listen, and maybe, maybe not. And I just think, from what you've described, that what you've got is a half domestic cat, half panther or puma. Be prepared. Listen close. Arthur hasn't said anything the last three years, but you can't tell.

Meanwhile, this little article in WaPo shows Karl "Beast Master" Rove throwing a juicy bone to the slobbering, gnashing fundisexuals:
Bush Will Renominate 20 Judges
During Bush's first term, Democrats would not allow a vote on 10 of the 52 appointments he made to fill vacancies on federal appeals courts. The overwhelming majority of Bush's 229 judicial nominees, however, were confirmed by the Senate. After the Republicans' Election Day gains, conservative groups have been increasing pressure on Senate Republicans to force votes on Bush judicial nominees. Senate Republicans are considering whether to employ a rare and highly controversial parliamentary maneuver -- dubbed the "nuclear option" -- to declare filibusters against judicial nominations unconstitutional.
With this change, nominees could be confirmed by a simple majority of 51 of the 100 senators. Now, it takes 60 votes to break a filibuster and bring the vote to the Senate floor. While Republicans have not yet decided whether to move ahead with this strategy, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (Tenn.) has made it clear he intends to end judicial filibusters "one way or another," as he put it in a recent speech.
Interestingly, a recently gelded Senator from Pennsylvania tugged weakly at his satin leash:
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), incoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he was disappointed that the White House moved so quickly to announce plans to resubmit the nominations.
"I would have preferred there would have been an interlude before they were resubmitted to provide an opportunity to improve the climate on the Judiciary Committee," Specter said in a telephone interview, referring to the bitter partisan fights on the panel over appeals court nominations during the last Congress. Specter added that he is consulting with senators of both parties in hopes of working out a bipartisan agreement for handling judicial nominations.
My question: will we get any Democrat in the Senate to stand up and say, "Mr. Preznit, What part of 'No' did you not understand, you mutherfucking moranic drooling shit-stained fuck-knob?!?"
(It's a rhetorical question, btw.)

IIRC, wasn't the amount budgeted for the Iraq war this fiscal year ZERO? It wasn't even in the budget, so these little "appropriation requests" will come up again and again. Fuckers.
During WW2, the top tax rate was about 90%-for the ultra rich. Has anyone here ever come across news or info from that time of a single person whining about paying their taxes during a time of war? I don't, and my father and other relatives served then. Anyone who did complain would probably been run out of town on a rail (or whatever they said in the 40's.) WTF is wrong with this country?
When did a majority of Americans become such selfish bastards?
Sorry to rant today, been trying to stay in a good mood, celebrate this weekend a little, but I'm having a hard time doing it.
Thanks to all the Atriots for the laughs and info this year. It's been easier because of all of you. Tow

Ô¿Ô, trust me, my friend; regular readers are not, indeed cannot be, insensible of the warning cries of impending catastrophe you incessantly narrow-cast here in various personae. We get the message!
And if you're even half as attuned and prescient as you profess to be, and I believe that you are, you'll recognize the moment to stay or go and act accordingly-- unless you slip on a puddle of Stoli or String piss, or finally pump so hard and fast that you snap the chains on your mood swing and go whirling into orbit like a bottle rocket. You've certainly come close to escape velocity a few times here.
All that said, the fact is that if you do take off, like Yossarian at the end of "Catch-22", you're almost certain to wind up somewhere that has electricity and telephone service. And you're going to get a job. And even if you don't have a PC at first, you'll eventually get one or find someone who does.
So my guess is that no matter where you go, you're not going anywhere as far as we're concerned.
With all due respect to the "good riddance!" contingent, that's a good thing. Because the Eschaton must be heralded with jeremiads. You are a pinwheel of Apocalypse, and I can relate.
Given all of the conflict and controversy about appropriate holiday greetings, I'll play it safe and give

The rich hated WWII. They paid, but they hated it. I remember both sets of grand-parents grumbled endlessly about how they had been misused. They complained a lot, but mainly among themselves. It persisted long after the end of martial hostilities. That's why there is such an enduring animus against the works of Roosevelt...

Just caught Rumsfield responding to a planted softball question, and making a snarky joke about the armor question calling it planted by the Media. The Media that's on its knees before King George is the real problem in Iraq-yeah, right.
OMG what a repulsive human being-no wonder he picked Cheney to be his protege. I can't believe that either one has a redeeming quality.

WGG, that does explain the hated of Roosevelt and the burning desire to undo all his programs. You'd think after a decade or two they'd cool down and realize it WORKED! Lots of families sacrificed children in that war, so who the fuck are they to complain about paying money, especially since they made so much more after the war?
My mantra for this weekend is

Do you have to celebrate x-mas for the animals to talk?
I mean, growing up on a farm, we never celebrated and the animals never talked - or I never noticed.
My cats look like they would like to say something now and again - Especially the 18 month old - He sits and stares at me. Sometimes, he comes on over and gets on my lap. Other times, he comes over and lays down on my feet.

The day before the Marines were killed at the mess tent, a local National Guardsman called to active duty came into the office. He and his unit are going to be deployed to Iraq in January. When I asked him where he would be, he was all cute "I know but I can't tell." Which is fine, but it isn't like I have the cell phone number of a local insurgent commander. Tell's me it isn't Baghdad, so it's going to be cool. I tell him I know a kid with one of the paratrooper divisions who spent the 10 months after the war in Mosul and the Iraqi/Iranian border training border guards. Told the local NG, when the kid left Mosul, everything was fine. Now look at it. Keep your head down, I said.
His response. "It'll be interesting what happens with the elections."
I suppose if I was in his shoes, I hang my hat on the same pipedream.

And, while we're at it, why don't we just pass a law that make Halliburton the automatic recipient of at least 1% of ever dollar paid into the Federal Treasury by taxpayers?

Yes, there was considerable hay trying to be made by the neocons over the fact that the soldier had been coached in his question by a reporter. However, that still begs the question of if it was all just a librul plot, why did the entire tent erupt in cheers when the question was asked.

Behold the price of "Chimpy War!"
Born in lies and deceits
Executed on the cheap
Botched in planning
Bollixed at Abu Ghraib
Bungled at Najaf, with victory hopes
BLOWN at Fallujah.
When will we wake up and demand a reckoning for the incredible failures of this administration's policies, and for the savagry of this military adventurism....an adventurism that Churchill spoke of in another time, and accurately called "Foul Babboonery." Timely I would say considering the stupidity of "Chimpy War."
Until the nation wakes up from it's delerium the killing machine will continue to swallow up so many more lives both the dead and the wounded who live on maimed and horribly scarred for life.
It was all a bright shining lie. Worse than Vietnam.

And in the meantime, the VA is going to get hammered!
I saw the FY 2005 budget distribution for a network of veteran's hospitals last week and it is basically flatlined. In addition to the increased demand for services by Iraqi war veterans, the VA has to contend with mandated pay raises and medical inflation. Rationing of care to higher priority vets, closing clinics, converting needed capital funds for operations, and employee furloughs are all on the way.
Hope the veterans and VA employees who voted for W. are understanding...
And in the meantime, the VA is going to get hammered!

Wonder how long before swing voters get it.
As I have said before, the second term is a bitch even for the smart presidents. With Bush, its already a nightmare.
Blues can just sit back and watch, like watching the ol hound dog chasing skunks.

How 'bout congress makes a deal.
We'll give you the 80 billion if you shitcan Rumsfeld.
Somebody should demonstrate what this war is costing us. What is the yearly price tag - something like $100 billion a year?
Almost everybody says we will be there at least 10 years.
That's 1 TRILLION dollars folks.

I found myself thinking as the families connected over the CNN and FOXNews airwaves "Soldier, I wish you best health and safety but you ain't doing shit for me or my country."
