Proven coward, 5 time Vietnam War Deferment receiving Chicken Hawk War Criminal Dick Cheney embraces Socialism, by requesting the evil can't do anything right US Government to provide him a service, extended Secret Service Protection, instead of allowing the always preferable private sector do the work. Shouldn't he be using some of the millions he purloined through abusing his office to hire Blackwater or DynCorp instead of sucking off the taxpayers? Dick Cheney hates Captialism.
Gah! Enough with the puke-a-rific Republicans...

Republicans Are Aiming for the Highest Office
No longer are the simply insane Alan Keyes and the slimy well known liar Jerome Corsi tasked with holding aloft the Birth Certificate Controversy. Prominent main line Republicans are tacitly and actively championing the claim Obama is not a natural born citizen and therefore not the legitimate POTUS.
The reason members of the Pro Human Pain and Suffering Chicken Hawk Party of Deferments are running with the Birther Conspiracy is because the Republicans are hoping one of their Extremist followers, perhaps a member of Moonbattery, will assassinate Obama.
No longer are only the Fox Propagandists and R. Limbaugh left to carry the claims Obama is a Usurper in the White House, High profile prostitute Liz Cheney and Republican morons of Congress are getting prime air time to feign ignorance about the Obama birth certificate.
They have created this theory in order to have a rationale for why (even though they may not agree with the murder of Obama) they understand one their brain washed followers took it upon himself or selves to remove the false one from the highest office of the land and free the American People from the Islamo/Marxo/Nazi/Commie/Socialist Obama Reign of Tyranny.
Of course, after hundreds of thousands of hours of ranting and railing about Bullet boxes and Obama's Despotic Tyranny the cultivators of the Assassination will wash their hands O'Reilly style of the murder they are gleefully and fervently hoping and working to achieve.

Republican Hatred and Violence
Peace? Peace? I hate the word.. As I hate humanity, All Democrats and Thee...
Obama has driven the Republican Extremists and their brainwashed followers to Shakespearean levels of Hatred. And as a Lady MacBeth all they can produce is bile and rancor. (Interestingly Obama is then by inference MacDuff, including down to the Birther Controversy). Frame by frame dissection of him on video is analyzed in order to create a distorted controversy. The booty stare smear was calculated by Drudge and Fox Propaganda to be safe ground because the Republican Extremists know their ignorant bigoted brainwashed followers have repressed sexual mores. And so if in their daily lie campaign Hannity can link Obama to a Clinton-esque scandal they know the have created another chain for Obama.
The Republican Extremists also feel they are on strong critical footing when they insinuate Obama has "teh gay" calling him a sissy for his crappy All-Star game first pitch. Gay baiting and bashing has been a staple of the Republicans for decades, famously voiced by the criminal Republican Spiro Agnew, whose comments were often written by the racist Republican bigot Pat Buchanan, when Agnew the Butcher called Vietnam war protesters the "Nattering Nabobs of Negativism" and "an effete corps of impudent snobs".
But, as Obama put up the first American of Hispanic descent and only the 3rd woman to the Supreme Court, the bigoted Republicans are frantic. It's bad enough Obama's President, or as Conservapedia declares the 1st Muslim President as though it's a disqualification, but to have a non christian white male on the Supreme Court for the next 25 years is a terrible blow, for the christian white male privilege is in danger! Recall only 43 of 44 Presidents and only 106 of 110 Supreme Court Justices have been white males.
As it becomes more and more clear the Republicans have completely severed their tennous ties to conservatism, a truly laudable ideology, by allowing Dick Cheney to run around for 8 years committing War Crimes and violating Americans at whim and letting the figurehead Tipsy Canoe use the power of the Federal Government to funnel Trillions of dollars to those who profit off of Death and Mayhem, the call for outright violence and the use of force to overthrow the government will go from euphemistic allusions by Fox Propagandists to an outright call for rising up.
Typical Republican Extremist Catherine Crabill of Virginia let it be known if the Republicans continue to lose they will resort to the "Bullet Box" to settle elections.
This all stems from the Republican Hatred for the Individual. They need to control what you do with your body, what you do in the privacy of your home and what you think so they set up cages for your mind.
They declare the Government is the enemy so you vote them into office so they can then use the power to make billions for their cronies and their families, underfund and ignore care for Veterans, distort and misuse legal powers and place inept sycophants into positions of authority thereby confirming the Government is evil and incompetent, for under Republican control it always is. The Republicans run up huge deficits while they are transferring vast wealth into their coffers and leave the clean up to the Democratic successors. And when the Democrats attempt to curb the never-ending Theft of Nations, The Pro Human Pain and Suffering Chicken Hawk Party of Extremists then use their resources to denounce the Democrats with declarations of Troop Haters and Socialists, for they want Americans to return to serfdom as fodder for Industry or Warfare. To be used and discarded when old and worn down after securing Republican goals.
Hence the recent virulent battle against Health Care reform, continued attempts to dismantle Social Security, the never ending war against Unions, the repeated attempts, such as by Texas Republican Secessionist Extremist Governor Rick Perry, to force creationist nonsense into the education system, the outsourcing of jobs to foreign lands and the in sourcing of illegal immigrants to the US to undercut wages and the living conditions of Americans.
For any and all attempts to better the lives of the poor toiling Americans must be crushed.
Insight into the Extremists Hatred of Obama and Democracy:
The Daily Doubter: Sieg heil (the Pledge of Allegiance)
The Rude Pundit: Right Wingers Ready for Violence to Defend the Rich, White Way of Life
Update:
The Founder and other Members of FreeRepublic have declared their intent to march on DC and Therefore, We the People of America choose to exercise our right to throw off and alter the abusive government.... And there you have it. None of the actions of Bush and his Regime could move them not the illegal wars, 9/11, negligent treatment of wounded Veterans, fiddling while New Orleans drowned, funneling of Trillions to the Plutocrats, multiple violation of US laws, Torture, violation of Habeas Corpus. Nothing. Yet for some reason now they are going for Revolution.
Hopefully, they will stick to the hate mongering rhetoric and not start a conflagration which is sure to cost thousands of lives and end the Dream of the American political system.

Default Humans
To Jeff Sessions, Pat Buchanan, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, the other know-nothing Republicans and their subservient brainwashed ignorant followers it is a christian white male. All others are a deviation off of the "norm". It is the core message of the Republican Party. We are the rightful peoples you are lesser humans. The white christian male is the good and proper ruler ordained by god any attempts to change this is the true racism.
And to a point this is correct they don't see race. As long as the person recognizes their place and accepts conservative hatred for the individual and the Republican mindset that Americans are only good for years of toiling in Industry and War; to be used up in the flower of their youth and then discarded, when old and broken as useless consumers, as their ideology, then they can be considered qualified. If they do not then they are an affirmative action pick who does not possess the mental facilities for government.

What Republicans Want
They want you to be a cog in the machines of Industry and War. This is why they constantly work to destroy Unions, progressive achievements, undercut true education and promote ignorant bigots and bigoted idiots.
The Pro Human Pain and Suffering Chicken Hawk Party of Deferment Republicans are racist but not exclusively racist, as long as you adhear to the proper ideology you will be accepted into the club regardless of the vagaries of your birth. What they want is the The Re-Rise Re-Domination and Rebirth of the Plutocracy a return to the feudal system of the exclusive and the rest of the nation toiling.
In the Republican world view they want Americans to work from 13-65 and then die. Those 50 years of toiling are all you are good for. And if they can allow in an illegal alien from Guatemala to dig that drainage ditch or outsource that medical notes dictation to India for half your cost then only an evil Socialist or Union would oppose them. Unions unfairly inflate Americans wages who should instead be competitively underbidding their labor down to the amount of a third world wage slave. A Nationalized Government run Health Care plan is good for them but not for you. A government supported pension system should give them money when they are old after their "hard work" but not for you.
Republicans see themselves as Gold in Plato's Myth of the Metals (The Republic Book III):
Of course, the rest of society the toilers are Brass and Iron, and
So the Republicans set up mental and physical cages for Americans because to them the majority of society are slag and have to be kept from destroying America.
And as the Nation slips further into the Reagan/W created Depression without the manufacturing base of decent jobs to pull her out of the slide the Pro Human Pain and Suffering Chicken Hawk Party of Deferment Republicans will increasing see armed violence and insurrection as the only option to regain control, especially if the Hannity Fox led propaganda efforts to smear Obama fail to bring election victories.

The Best and Worst Case for National Health Care
is Dick Cheney. Without the access to U.S. Socialized and Communistic Medical care in place for flabby assed puffy faced bureaucrats involved in Government, Cheney would either have been uninsurable due to his repeated heart attacks or dead.
Worse still is that even though Cheney has turned his "hard work" in Government into a millionaires fortune he has not had to expend one dime of the ill gotten loot towards his medical care. It's covered by the tax payers labor. So the millions he's managed to earn through funneling billions of tax payers dollars to his confidantes and their corporations by using his position and influence is still in his bank account, so he may buy suits and plane tickets, in order to jet coast-to-coast defending his war crimes.
I decided to place my irreverent comment on another blog, that blog owner, as is his right decided to censor and delete my comment and responded in an email with the following:
I don't know J.C.'s mind or if the site was a fake personal blog and merely a Republican front for attacking Obama but I wonder if when he writes he'd take the insurance offered to government employees over his private plan he understands he's supporting Big Government Socialised Health Care. Although in his defense perhaps he means he'd take Bush and Republican undercut, underfunded and criminally neglected VA health coverage...

Cheney is allowed to go to any physician, any hospital of his choosing, that my friend is not socialized medicine it is a gold plan that Obama plans to destroy, I promise not to publish your remarks so people will not know how ignorant about the subject you really are. I'd take the insurance offered to government employees possibly over the plan I'm in. J.C.Note the "my friend" addition which as pointed out by a comrade from my Corps days is white people speak for I Want To Kill You.

Juxtaposition
So I went and enjoyed the quintessential Chicago Pizza and was struck by the blending of ages in the restaurant. I don't know what the kitchen looked like but I'd like to imagine there are the original old ovens which have baked a billion and one delectable gastronomic delights.
The bar itself, the wall decor and accouterments haven't changed in the 20 years since I first began frequenting the establishment.
However, what I did see in the facilities was an interesting amalgamation of time periods. The floor and wall tiling were very old possibly original, while the toilet and sink apparatuses had the look of late-60's, early 70's and then came the item which stood out in stark contrast. Recently affixed to the wall was a Dyson Airblade.
It's quite neat and does an excellent job at drying hands but, more than that I often enjoy seeing structures in flux and it reminded me of my trip to Paris (and subsequent European trips) and the 1000+ years of a city in constant use and therefore ever changing whilst the old stands alongside the new.

Money!
Yes The Eddie Money! I got a chance to see him on 3 July rocking the Arlington Heights Frontier Days. Money is 60 and his voice sounds it due to his rock and roll lifestyle excesses. But, what was classic were Eddie's comments:
I sold 7 million records and got married four times. I'm broke, come up and buy a CD for $5!
This ones for the ladies who loved me in the eighties!
For the most part, the "true" Money fans arrived early and grabbed prime spots near the stage whilst I was relegated to the 380 foot marker and the majority of the crowd merely enjoyed him as back drop music. That was until he played one of his monster hits; Two Tickets, Baby Hold On, Take Me Home Tonight, then they joined in and sung-shouted the half remembered lyrics.
Of course, the fair also provided the nearly unending fun of people watching, punctuated by spotting a rocking Femullet and of being cognizant of the bad element, a few of whom I noted despite the efforts of the AHPD.

Militarized Religion or Religionized Military
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rages and hunger and thirst... ~ Mark Twain, The War PrayerFault Lines: Religion in the military
After completing MCT (Marine Combat Training) in early 2001, the SOI Bn CO LtCol regaled the young marines (and me since I wasn't so young) with tales of life in the Corps and the brotherhood we had joined and were taking our nascent steps towards. We had spent (most of) the last 17 days in the field learning the absolute basics of military tactics, just enough to understand we knew nothing. After which we had the opportunity to take a shower for the first time in 2 weeks and clean the grime and mud off.
Getting back to the LtCol, at the end of his speech he informed the Marines they now had the duty to clean the showers we had just used because a good Marine always leaves equipment and quarters in as good a condition as the way he found them. However, an offer was made. If the Marines wanted to stay and listen to the LtCol he would tell them the truth of Creationism and debunk the lies of Evolution using a treatise he had written and self-published and of which he had available copies for the Marines to take with them.
I was stunned. I left with the group assigned to clean the mud coated showers and befouled shitters. My reasons were partially because I don't shirk duty but mainly because I was upset over rank ignorance being forced down the mouths of tired and impressionable young men by a Marine in a position of Authority.
Thinking about the situation later I realized I should have stayed and grabbed a copy.

Mark Sanford, Republican Scum
"You're a lying member of a no good race." ~ Sean Connery's tough Chicago Street Cop Malone from The UntouchablesAh the Republicans, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Sanford's actions are part and parcel of the lying, cheating, hypocritical cowardly Chicken Hawk Pro Human Pain and Suffering Party of Deferments.
The ridiculous hypocrisy is the most galling component. And when a Cowardly Republican Liar (like John Ensign) is caught in an affair his being caught is somehow cause for his championing (read the ignorant and nauseating Kathyrn Jean Lopez Ensigns Road to Redemption as an example), especially if he talks up protecting marriage and chastises others for the "sin" of infidelity. Evil Liberals must be pilloried.
For example here is the moronic moral coward Sean Hannity declaring how lying, cheating, hypocritical cowardly Chicken Hawk Pro Human Pain and Suffering Party of Deferments Republican John Ensign reminds him of a liberal democrat. Hail to Media Matters!
But it's Sean's job to lie to the Fox news watchers. And it's Fox's job to label all disgraced Republicans as... Democrats (From Crooks and Liars).
Of course, as long as everything is consensual and with age limits, I don't care with whom Sanford (or anyone) has relations, but the hypocritical sanctimonious scumbag unfaithful Newt Gingrich Republican Party of Chicken Hawks have duped their ignorant supporters into voting for a group of cowards who want the American people to work themselves to death. Who fight to obliterate Unions, Social Security, Healthcare, Restrictions on Pollution and work to destroy all the hard won progressive achievements and force Americans to fight with workers in Nigeria and Laos over wages which would roll back the standard of living for Americans to the bronze age.
The goal of the Republican Party is to make sure most Americans die young having worked themselves to death in War or Industry supporting and advancing the Party.
Update:
They don't get it. She Who Shall Not Be Named 2 does not understand. She labels Sanford a Bastard. The Redstaters petulantly demand You Do Not Get To Judge. Why because the Right Wing Extremist Moral Morons hate people. They are the Righteous Ones! They deem who is worthy and who is not. And this is the problem they are demonizing Sanford for sex. Sanford's crime is not sex it is the same as the Republicans and their toxic followers the hating and devaluing of people.
The great Bertrand Russell laid bare the Toxic Rights' irrational hatred of humanity and demonization of human nature in his essay Our Sexual Ethics.
Update 2:
Ha ha, Erick Erickson, of the site RedState which angrily declared to Democrats on June 24thWe Police Our Own and You Do Not Get To Judge, sent emails to Sanford on June 23rd hoping to help cover up the affair. According to uncovered emails Erickson related the following: “I wasn’t trying to be a reporter. I wanted to curtail the story.” Republicans are so Sucktastic!

Does anyone need
another report to tell them soldiers embrace alcohol as a self-medication?
Why hasn't there been an upswing in enlistment by the Republicans, the Toxic Fox Commentators, the Neocons and their children in order to be sure to be front and center in the liberation of Iran for which they are cawing for daily.
Nearly twice as many US army soldiers today are either alcoholic or engage in damaging behavior such as binge drinking than six years ago, and experts blame the rise on repeated tours in war zones.Actually, I'm sure the young college Republicans and the 'Never Served and Never Will' Chicken Hawk Pro Human Party of Deferments does need to be told this since they have no idea what a combat tour is...
Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, told the national daily that he believed eight years of combat were at least partially responsible for the rising number of US soldiers with alcohol disorders.
Why hasn't there been an upswing in enlistment by the Republicans, the Toxic Fox Commentators, the Neocons and their children in order to be sure to be front and center in the liberation of Iran for which they are cawing for daily.

I hate my lawn and your lawn, but...
please mow your grass as a sign of community.
Lawns take a large amount of time, care, fuel (oil+gas), treatment and water to "properly" maintain. They are an outdated status symbol which until I get 3 youngsters running around or throw weekly backyard soirees remains a green hole of life suckage, though it looks pretty. Whiskey Fire gets it with the eloquent post, I Hate Mowing My Fucking Lawn.
However, there is a curious effect happening thanks to the Piss Down Your Back Tipsy Canoe Recession; there are a large number of empty foreclosed homes with overgrown lawns and towns are reducing budget and laying off public workers, so village boards see grass height scofflaws as a potential source of revenue.
Mow or Pay:
If you want to live like a Randian Superman with a wild overgrown prairie of a yard move out to McHenry or Boone County and allow your lands to grow wild grasses.
Now of course it's difficult to move to those Counties. McHenry has been devastated by the Republican Economic Crash and living that far out costs too much if you want to drive into the city since the corrupt Bush Regime allowed their Corporate Oil Masters to inexplicably and capriciously raise the price of gas to whatever they deemed fit and since funding an improvement to the much maligned Chicago Roadways would have been socialism at work, better to allow them to flounder.
"Excellently observed," answered Candide; "but let us cultivate our garden."
Update:
In light of Father's Day I do have fond memories of mowing my Grandfather's yard, drinking lemonade and eating McRib's which he would get for me and then pull up into the driveway just as I finished.

Municipalities are finding it increasingly difficult to keep tabs on all their unkempt yards. Many, including Arlington Heights, Northbrook and Lake Forest are taking steps to hold property owners accountable.Additionally, the Seatlle-esque rains we've been receiving are a boon to the growth of yards everywhere,
"The majority of grass grown in the Chicago area is Kentucky blue, which is a cool weather grass," said Marvin Ganek, a master gardener at the Chicago Botanic Garden. "In addition, it needs moisture, and we have had plenty of that. I can tell you it has been growing better this year than it has in a number of years."Gasp! More big government socialism encroaching upon the individual! Quickly man the Crying Freeman Glenn Beck Ramparts! Except it really isn't. While less leniency and a more stringent enforcement of the fines may be a crass attempt at generating revenue for the towns, living in a Chicago suburb necessitates the person understand the rights of others and the responsibility of community. If you live in a community you have, unfortunately, accepted the burden of being a good neighbor.

The Loss
“Bill Mazeroski, I hate him,” says Calogero. “He made Mickey Mantle cry. The papers said the Mick cried.”Spurred on by a conversation I had en route to a Kane County Cougars game a discussion came about concerning sports fandom. I informed the interested parties I (am/was) a Cubs fan. However, as the years have passed my emotional investment into Chicago sports teams has all but vanished. I never had A Bronx Tale epiphany it's merely been the acquired loss of interest over the slow years of reaching adulthood and the desire to not board the emotional roller coaster of sports teams fortunes and failures.
“Mickey Mantle,” says Sonny. “That’s what you’re upset about? Mantle makes $100,000 a year. How much does your father make? . . . If your dad needs money, go ask Mickey Mantle. See what happens. Mickey Mantle don’t care about you. Why care about him”
“From that day on, I never felt the same about the Yankees.” Calogero ~ from A Bronx Tale
A large amount of this has to do with being a lamentable Cubs fan. For me the most crushing defeats were 1989 and 2003. 1984 was my initiation into Cubs woedom but I was still to young to be cognizant of the pitiful Cubs history and wary of the despairing Cubs future. By High School and the 1989 Cubbies I had full on Cubs Fever and was stoked to watch the World Series with Ryno, The Hawk, Mad Dog (1), The Shawn-o-meter, Gracie, Red Beard, ROY Walton and the rest! Sadly, the Cubs encountered the Will Clark playoff ban saw and then the 90's would be wasteland of steroid abusing cheaters, bad teams and mostly forgetable players.
My un-journey became complete in 2003 as I left the US for Afghanistan with the Cubs leading the Marlins 3-2 and arrived at my assignment having learned the Cubs lost after being 5 outs away.
Last year when the 2008 Cubs were winning 97 games I didn't even make it out to beautiful Wrigley Field. And predictably the 2008 Cubs lost 3 straight and Cubs fans said oh well wait until next year, just like they said in 2007, when they choked in the playoffs as well. However, Post-Playoff failure there was a fan backlash as Cubs fans decided to auction off their loyalty and 670 The Score received a number of calls in which the callers declared they were done watching the Cubs. Most of the Score hosts decried these statements as hyperbole and chastised the callers telling them they would be back watching the Cubs in 2009.
So now the 2009 Cubs are a miserable team having made several questionable player moves to deflect criticism over the 2 playoff collapses. Yet I have the cold comfort of having divested myself of the emotional trauma of worrying about millionaires I shall never be friends with, let alone even speak to...

Global Warming is Baloney!
I have no idea if man made pollution can cause, contribute or affect climate change. However, it is of interest those who decry Global Warming also think Evolution to be false.
What I do know is under the Bush Regime protections for the enviroment were ignored or cut so companies which support The Toxic Republican Party could dump massive amounts of toxins, garbage and pollutants into our water, land and air.
BP acknowledged that for the last six years its Whiting refinery violated federal pollution limits on benzene, a highly toxic chemical linked to leukemia and other health problems.This isn't the first time the Whiting Refinery has violated U.S. and Indiana EPA regulations. In October 2008,
BP reported that it had processed too much benzene at the refinery's sewage treatment plant, about 15 miles southeast of Chicago.
Last year alone, the company processed more than 95 tons of benzene waste -- about 16 times the amount allowed. BP also violated the 6-ton limit from 2003 to 2007.
Federal regulators say BP PLC violated the Clean Air Act by beginning to make modifications at its Indiana oil refinery along Lake Michigan to process Canadian crude without the proper permit.So during the Bush anti-science Regime BP felt comfortable in violating the EPA standards and the Clean Air Act. It's no secret why because the bureacrats who care about maximizing profits had the Toxic Pro Human Pain and Suffering Party of Deferments morons using their power and position to declare any curbs on pollution is the equivalent of kissing Al Gore's butt.
The EPA said in November the modifications caused "significant increases" in sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter and carbon monoxide emitted from the refinery.
