"They're blowin' this town all to hell" -- Bo Hopkins in Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch"(1969)

Senator John Warner (R-Va.) has the unexpected problem of a foreign state-owned company taking over operations at U.S. ports all figured out.  The dour, self-righteous chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee announced from the Senate floor on March 9 that Dubai Ports World (DPW), one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE), "has decided to transfer fully U.S. operation of P&O Ports North America to a United States entity."  

For Rove-Cheney watchers, that immediately begs the question -- what U.S. entity?  What does "transfer fully" mean?  But, alas, Warner said details about that part of the scam "weren't immediately available."  For Warner watchers, especially those of us who have looked at him from every possible angle while scratching our heads, another question springs to mind -- What could Liz Taylor possibly have been thinking back in December 1976 when she took this cranky, cheerless man for a spin on her seventh time around?

The message should ring loud and clear to anyone with sound judgment - Impeach George Bush before he does more damage.  How much damage can one Administration do before common sense, patriotism, and true conservatism take over?

We have just been informed that only 5 percent of the nine million containers that go through U.S. ports are being inspected.  Is that homeland security?  The Republican Administration has failed to be alert to Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged Louisiana and Mississippi.

The U.S.A. was never in any grave danger because Clinton had sex outside of marriage.  Nevertheless, the Republican hate machine went into high gear spending taxpayers' millions, with $30 million from Ken Starr's vendetta alone, to reek personal revenge on a Democratic president, all the while posing as moral guardians.  

With the record of every kind of corruption going on in this Republican led Administration, the glaring spotlight on hypocrisy is evident for the eyes of the world to witness.

While the smoke, dust and ash was still settling from the collapse of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the Bush Administration's mad political scientist, Karl Rove, retreated deep into his undisclosed laboratory and began to create his dream; the pinnacle of his life's work...the ultimate political monster.
