  1. Guess who came up with “a long-term plan for the world control and distribution of oil in the Near East” when Jimmy Carter was still a toddler?

  2. “vital interests” trump humanity every time in the home of the free.

  3. no child left behind:
    One in eight Iraqi children now die of disease or violence before the age of five. In 2005 alone, 122,000 Iraqi children died before reaching their fifth birthday. Save the Children said Iraq’s child-survival ranking is now the lowest in the world.
    all this garbage about freedom and liberty means nothing to anyone but chevron and blackwater and company.

  5. Hello Expendables. It’s sunny and getting warmer in Astoria.

    SK: It’s been a while. Good to see you and thanks for the context link.

    JOS: Humanity? What’s humanity?

    Frances: You sure said it here: I might as well be pouring blood and mothers milk into my tank.

  6. Watch out with that mothers milk in the gas tank. It’s all poison now and your car might not run properly.

  11. tit juice spiked with rocket fuel

    If that’s not a euphemism, I don’t know what is.

  12. Hi frances, Keir, Mickey, JOS, and sk…
    Soon the level of fire retardants in breast milk will be so high that breast milk will be better than water for putting out fires. Even when that research was done and the fact that breast milk was contaminated became common knowledge, there was NO public outcry. No, I am not optimistic if even that has not awakened the masses. 
    Mickey, thanks for making that connection between “vital interests” and J Carter. Makes you wonder why anyone is still a member of the Democratic Party. I understand why there are Republicans. It makes sense for Capitalists to be Republicans but why are there any Democrats ?

  13. breast milk will be better than water for putting out fires

    Especially if it’s a two-alarm fire…

    why are there any Democrats?

    To fill out the good cop-bad cop routine?

  15. since we’re telling breast jokes...can I tell one that an ex priest related to the whole crowd at my father’s funeral?  My father was a priest in the Catholic church for over two years when he was a young man.

    He and some of the other young priests were having martinis with the bishop of his diocese in Chicago.  The bishop asked if my father wanted another and he said, “Martini’s are like women’s breasts… three are too many, one never enough.”

    My mom hated that the guy shared that one...but I sure got a laugh out of it.

  16. In other news:

    “According to the report, Iraq’s child mortality rate has increased by a staggering 150 percent since 1990. Some 122,000 Iraqi children died in 2005 before reaching their fifth birthday. More than half of these deaths were among newborn babies in the first month of life.”

  17. re#11...sorry if I offended anyone.  I was being crude.

  18. JOS..that link about the Iraqi children.

    Have you heard the latest, the New York state legislature has a bill that would outlaw incandescent light bulbs. Seems to me that first they should figure out how to dispose of the new “energy efficient” ones. They contain mercury and can only be disposed of in toxic waste sites. I wonder if Halliburton will get the contract to handle the disposal problems.
