" .. about use of white phosphorous in Gaza (by the Jewish state)"

Now here is a thought experiment:
What headlines would we be reading and hearing from USA, EU, UN, ICC, the Hague, Joe Klein, .... had the Gazans lobbed white phosphorus or napalm or cluster bombs into Israel's civilians ...

- or what would we read about the country from which Gazans had acquired the aircraft for their villainous missions of death ...

(And turn down the volume, junior)

Judging by the ratings for last week's premiere, Homeland Security bombed.
.
I'm still wondering when some programming genius is gonna come up with a reality show called Get A Job!, where unemployed people try to scrape up enough money to feed their families, move in with relatives after being foreclosed on, etc.

" ... why George Bush has been a disaster. " Is there any doubt? Did you read today that our POTUS - the leader of the free world, the most powerful man in the whole world if not the universe - actually takes orders on our foreign policy and national interests from a foreign country of Israel? And their leader crows about it. That Israel's interests trump the interests of the USA? That in matters that are important to us - on which we have spent time and the taxpayers dollars hammering out an agreement - the USA subordinates itself to the country of Israel? Hey, we don't even prostrate ourselves to those French or British or Russian guys! It is an outrage! When and how did it happen? Call in the homeland security! Call in the marines! Call in somebody! When did our sovereign abrogate the solemn responsibility as specified in our sacred constitution? And if he is deemed wanting, should we wait for Jan 20, while irreparable harm is done to our pursuit of happiness and liberty (from overarching supremacist foreigners that cost the unwilling USA taxpayer $billions each year and stampede us clueless into their murderous vendetta.) Aren't we the ones, the free and the brave, who order dictators of third world banana republics around and throw them splat on the wall occassionally - just because? Maybe it was all in our minds. Is there a new sheriff in town and who allowed it? Should we invade that assuming foreign country - and do a "regime change" on that cheeky foreign leader - just to show them? Maybe we should let them win their nerve and bragging rights by defeating us fair and square in war ..?

Gomes is a Baptist. But a New England Baptist. I took a course from him. I read some of his books. He's worth reading.

My fear is that the "real" Americans - ya know, those that supported Palin / McCain - will eat this right up and, worse, beg for more. Or, the producers will fictionalize an incident where they couldn't catch the bad guys because they weren't allowed to snoop on all of the phone lines, all of the time, because of those pesky warrant requirements. And then "real" Americans - cue textee - will demand that DHS have the authority to snoop over everything all the time. ' I hope I don't live to see this, and, in fact, I keep pushing 10mph on the treadmill, hoping it will cause my cardiovascular system to explode. No such luck, yet. In fact, I think I'm just getting in better shape. Dam[n]...

On the contrary, my fellow swamp thingy, we are trying to prop her and keep Amy on the straight and narrow.

We, the avowed sinners wallowing in the sewers of the here-and-now, want to look up now and then and know that at least one person, Amy, will get to nirvana in the here-after.

Therein lies the hope for mankind.

Now, now, Jay, everyone knows that Harvard University is Ground Zero for the secular-humanism indoctrination movement. It's in the Sphere of Consensus. Sheesh.
