Well, it seems someone disagrees with what I said yesterday – and thanks for the welcome ... I’m already feeling at home.

SIGH ... Let’s see what’s to disagree with?

1. That Bush will be re-elected?

2. That his assertions don’t pass any plausible "sniff-test"?

3. That Kerry earned his medal?

4. The demographic analysis based on Lincoln’s famous saying?

5. The results of the Iraq Poll showing Saddam still has 40% approval?

6. That we have killed more innocent Iraqis in the past two years than all the guilty thugs Saddam killed over the previous 36 years?

7. Speaking of Saddamesque behavior – how many are aware that Bush is holding prisoner Tibetan Buddhist Nuns as a possible threat to this nation? Probably the most universally peaceful people on the planet and Bush says they’re a threat?

And what’s this bit with Cat Stevens? The guy might have converted to Islam – and become a respected teacher of the Koran – but does that make him a threat to America? Back when Bush was killing more people in the Texas penal system than any other governor, in any other state, in the history of this country, Cat Stevens was a loud and clear voice denouncing the use of violence. He was among the first to denounce Bin Laden as being anti-Islam ... Oh right, he thinks Bin Laden is the problem to be addressed ... and George believes destabilizing Iraq is the solution.

Oh well ... such is life ... George will still win, the economy will go down the toilet, and the war will spread into Iran. Until I find otherwise, you heard it here first.

A note for the adults – specifically those who play the stock market. Check your charts ... you’ll see the market has defined February 1st as the outside date for a major move. I might post the chart – when I’m more comfortable with the mechanics of picture posting and layout design.

Oh well ... so much for now ...
