A Line of GOP's on the side of the Road
Mood:  incredulous
Now Playing: HEY! Got some time to take a long drive?

Hey Joe! ......Anybody wanna go for a drive?
Well get your hat on And hold on, its wet And it might get slippery!
Hey there is Tom Delay standing out in the rain ...keep driving! dont look at him! .....

HA! He deserves it!

Here read this while your driving (quote)"Studies have shown this process causes deafening noise, harming the marine environment. It causes fish swim bladders to explode, kills marine larvae, And disrupts the traditional migratory paths of some fish species And marine mammals, such as whales And dolphins. In some places, these disturbances have resulted in reductions in commercial fish catches up to 50 percent, And have caused whales to leave waters where they are habitually found".(end quote)
Wait! It also says "This process involves sending out sonic booms every 10-15 seconds."
Well Geee wizzz! Is this a Republican War Hawk with a new "sea weapon" they are testing?

But --> Noooo! Its George Bush administration's Minerals Management Service is preparing to conduct seismic testing off our coast to find possible offshore oil And gas drilling sites. So this is the first step toward opening such sites to drilling, And the seismic testing itself threatens fish And whale populations. As The Register Guard said in its July 28th editorial,” The intent is clear: to lay the groundwork. or drilling in sensitive coastal zones such as those off the Oregon Coast." I myself think it would be a shame. Because as we sleep the oceans will be screaming. And its so hard to drive And listen, And you know ...and sleeping too! this info found from At least that’s what the email I got from
OSPRIG.....
whooooa!!!!!!!!
hey! there is ol What His Name ...the Frist Dude he is standing out in the rain too,,,, wow! crazy! hey slow down look at him ...Frist's ability to influence HCA stock decisions in the partnership was detailed in separate trust And partnership documents obtained by the AP. But he is not suppose to be affiliated with them or is to ensure lack of not only conflict of interest but appearance of conflict of interest at least" ,,,keep going don’t stop I don’t wanna talk to him! ..

OK, Here read (while I hold the wheel) this little clip I got of Yahoo its kind of a funny bit --> "Those documents show Thomas Frist was listed as the "general partner" And "registered agent" of Bowling Avenue Partners. He also was listed as president of the partnership's management company.
HCA is the nation's largest for-profit hospital chain. Thomas Frist is its chairman emeritus".

Wow! He is looking like he should get a ride with Tom! Ha no conflict of interest there! Shit I musta been sleeping when he pulled that one on us Americans!

Speaking of Tom - How-The-heck-are-ya- Hammer denies any wrongdoing! burp* However, he was obligated to temporarily step aside as majority leader when charged. HA ha oooops caught were ya Tom?
The charges allege that corporate money was funneled to Texas legislative candidates in violation of state law. I knew it I bet he is BUSTED!! AGAIN!
You remember my Bakers Dozen Link I posted on Oct 3 here in the Zebra 3 Report. It was about Toms dirty big dollar tricks, so blatant And obvious, dang he could be a $ manipulating politician and he was caught with unethically money And with no doubt the crooners who support him with their wallets to gain favors in his tricky un-ethically ways.

Darn "lookout!" almost hit that guy who looked like Karl Rove ..didn’t seem him lurking in the shadows along the wet roadside ...its so dark now And he is so shady you hardly can see him.., matter of fact when the other day that FAKE terrorist ALERT about in the NY SUBWAYS was being broadcasted ...KArl (shady)ROve was in the news about one of his recent indictments. But we hardly got to enjoy that because but ..hey if we are not sleeping or working ..there probably is a terror alert (FAKE) You know to keep us under the thumb ..and preoccupied, scared, and in FEAR. Who can catch the news about Georges best friend K being INDICTED when we are so busy with FAKE reports on TERROR...

Shit the poor Republican Party more n more starting to look like a wet soggy bunch of Jail Birds!
Did they say orange or yellow alert day?
(panic - Fear)
Oh? ha they don't use that ol trick since before the election.., I had forgot .., worked for a while huh? Dang are we there yet this is getting long. That scared me seeing that last politician ...the "shady one"

YA know I bet he has to "Hit The Road Jack" I mean such a spin-doctor basically means he is a LIAR. That’s not what I want in the White House.

Speaking of spindoctor look at this Staged Teleconference Media Event...ha - whoa!!!!! get the press get the cameras read your line ...Practice Practice Practice..this is Presidential Bullshit so get it down we got to make this WAR look good.

Do my taxes pay for this spin?

I mean listen to this quote --> "The soldiers all gave Bush an upbeat view of the situation. The president also got praise from the Iraqi soldier who was part of the chat." "Thank you very much for everything," he gushed. "I like you."

And all the while People dying for phony reasons ...well that is just what I heard Saddam is saying his death penalty is all about (cant blame him I would claim the same) read THIS about how, his attorney is saying the Bush Company doesn't have a good enough charge to pin on him. wow what next?... Damn Do I see Saddam on the side off the road hitchhiking as a free man in the near future?

"He had full immunity under the prevailing Iraqi
constitution and you cannot have a retroactive legislation that removes that immunity," Alani said in an interview with the BBC's "Newsnight" program late on Thursday.
and also...
The BBC said "Saddam's defense team has just received an 800-page bundle outlining the prosecution case. The report said many of the pages they have been sent are unreadable and they still have no charge details". Who compiled that report? Bozo the clown or maybe a bunch of Neocons? With their National Security Secret Ways> shit unreadable ..do you believe that?

Man what a drive....no wonder The Bush administration pressed for the Supreme Court, lawsuits claiming retaliation on Wednesday for a ruling that would make it harder for government whistleblowers to win . OH really ...
God America, do we want that?
Our rights slip if we just slightly sleep at the wheel....
I get tired of these Phoney half-assed truths!

I did think it was rather odd seeing so many GOP's lined up on the side of the road in the cold wet rain as we drove. Hey! Every man for him self like they say in that Grand Ol Party Way. Thanks for riding along.., read up ..
Stay awake! and remember if "you" don’t fight for truth and justice "who" will?

The year is 2005 and a Flood has overrun the town. Looting is everywhere and survival is your main concern.....so what do ya do -->
get your self a New Ride!

Speaking of the Police did you see this LINK and how the Police beat-up a 64 year man by the name of Robert Davis for no reason other than he told one of the officers that he was "rude" for interrupting his conversation with some other police he was talking with. Next thing he knows the one cop who interrupted started slugging him in the head then 2 more jump in to dish out an old fashioned "beating by the man"Latter they claimed he was drunk...He hasn't had a drink in 25 years....nice one Brute's

Notice how the cop roughly shoves the AP reporter up against a vehicle....no wonder they get called "pigs"

This innocent man getting beat in New Orleans by the Police link is
--> HERE <-- it's a version that includes a short clip from the BBC.

The new chief says it was unnecessary use of force, Don't make me laugh! Did he figure that out all by his self?



Hey regarding the investigation into the causes of concrete floodwall breaches that swamped large portions of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina at NOLA.com some reports by Corps Critics already are questioning whether the Corps; with its reputation and billions of dollars in financing on the line has a conflict of interest in investigating itself.? Gee maybe we can get FEMA to investigate or The Republican party....we can trust them! HA!...
hmmmm who can we blame?

FEMA re-bids after a Whistleblower says "Shame"
Mood:  don't ask
Now Playing: The Shell Game
Topic: FAILURE by the GOVERNMENT

Well now first I must mention that on 8.29.05 a whistle blowers law suit is in the mix by Bunny Greenhouse. The officer who served as the top procurement official for the army corps of engineers, who has now been fired from her top job by the Pentagon and demoted from her hard-earned position in the elite senior executive service of the federal government. What did she do to merit this?

well... Bunny crossed Halliburton

All she did was ask why Halliburton was getting longterm no-bid contracts, and why it was getting waivers from on high for overcharging the government on fuel contracts.

In Congressional testimony, she called Halliburton's $7 billion oil-repair contract "the most blatant and improper contract abuse I have ever witnessed during the course of my [20 year] professional career." She added that "every aspect" of the deal had been controlled by Donnie Rumsfeld's office.

*Zipadeedo Da Zipadee-a Controlled by Donnie Rumsfield --all the way* .., sounds like that sad song that is sung to the sleeping. Pretty painless when one is asleep to care about anything.

So then I read in a BLOG from New Orleans that I have mentioned as being a favorite web cam site in previous posts. Well he says to go to this --> website
to read about how... (quote) "Last week, U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La, introduced the Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita Fairness in Contracting Act of 2005. The legislation would require open competition for contracts and emphasize the use of Louisiana businesses".(end quote)
Well how surprising!

One of those big bidders was The Shaw Group (Hey deep sleepers Remember Shaw Co from my post titled FEMA Quinn and a Blackhawk National Guard Hero CLICK HERE IN CASE YOU FORGOT Well there were three other companies besides Shaw that received $100 million no-bid FEMA contracts to build emergency housing.

So now Acting FEMA Director David Paulison followed up on a pledge he made to the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee last week. He said hundreds of millions of dollars already handed out with little or no competition would be rebid. Now we seem to be making progress....he goes on to say in addition to rebidding the major contracts, a FEMA plan to competitively award recovery contracts to small disadvantaged businesses and to consider the geographic location of prime contractors and subcontractors to ensure a preference for local hires

......oh wait isn't Shaw Co local?(heheh)

Why Are Republicans on the Top 10 List ?
Mood:  irritated
Now Playing: $180 Million Given to Oil Lovers
Topic: PROTEST!

This list is made of all Republicans, they make up the Top 10 Favorite Oil Industries Politicians:



As I copy/paste from the Greenpeace
website that said "Meanwhile, members of Congress and the oil industry are using the Katrina catastrophe as an excuse to expand offshore drilling. Last week, more than 100 companies sent a letter to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert and other Republican leaders, asking Congress to open up coastal areas in other parts of the country for offshore oil and gas exploration.

The oil industry has clearly demonstrated that it cannot safely operate offshore drilling operations, and the last thing Congress should be considering is exposing the rest of the nation to these risks.

If any lesson is to be learned from hurricane Katrina, it is that the nation must move to renewable sources of energy, which will cut down on global warming and reduce dependence on unstable and dangerous forms of energy like oil and gas. “It is outrageous and unacceptable that elected officials on both sides of the aisle appear willing to do whatever it takes to help their buddies, even if it means allowing them to profit off the backs of homeless hurricane victims,” said John Passacantando, Executive Director of Greenpeace


Instead of investing in these Oil Barron's, Our elected officials who are truly concerned about this issue will take the necessary steps to invest in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. These sources are safe, affordable, and long overdue
click HERE to send your Congressman a letter urging them to use the right type of rebuilding solutions and to quit feeding the profit ridden Oil Giants "more money" by allowing them to promote and perpetuate more dependency and not take responsible alternative answerers to real issues that need real honest attention. Sorry, this cant just be another Oil Handout.

John McCain's anti-torture amendment passed by a remarkable 90-9 vote
Mood:  celebratory
Now Playing: Numerous Facts Provided & Copied from
Topic: TORTURE
Numerous Facts Provided & Copied from "Human Rights First"

Great News... last night's Senate decision, after a fierce and drawn-out battle, to pass Sen. John McCain's anti-torture amendment. His amendment passed by a remarkable 90-9 vote. :-)


Boldly challenging the White House, the Senate sent a clear message that there is a torture problem, it must be fixed, and the time is now. Torture will not be tolerated.

(Damn do you think we should??) what a bunch of ignorant swindlers...hell no there shouldn't be torture !! Ge Wizz are they retarded? I a dumbfounded that we need to go through this process and have to force the White House to act ethnically. This ignorant process to define morally and what is right and wrong concerning Torture and abuse should be basic ethics type of policy and not need this discovery process so far into the 21st Century The US having to need to be define our standing policy or be so confused we don't know "what is right anymore?" I blame this all on the Bush Crime Family and the Neocon cronies that orchestrated this mess.

What an embarrassment we are to the rest of the world. Freedom my ass! We are a cruel torturous country that has prisons outside its borders in order to violate USA Laws(sic) and we capture citizens of all ages and hold with out trials or charges for indefinitely. Makes you the reader to be represented by our Federal Government and their behavior to do this, I don't know about you , but I can't stand to be represented like this.I am ashamed.

Only nine Senators (Boooo!) withheld their support: Allard (R-CO), Bond (R-MO), Coburn (R-OK), Cochran (R-MS), Cornyn (R-TX), Inhofe (R-OK), Roberts (R-KS), Sessions (R-AL), and Stevens (R-AK). Sen. Bill Frist,(What-A-JERK!-First) who had been blocking this amendment, amazingly voted for the provision. Do you see a certain Party Trend here ...Oh! They all are Republicans..wow!? Birds of a feather flock together...

In addition to the letter from 28 retired senior military leaders informally coordinated by Human Rights First to support Senator McCain, former Secretary of State Colin Powell also endorsed the amendment yesterday. He wrote in a letter to Sen. McCain: "The world will note that America is making a clear statement with respect to the expected future behavior of our soldiers. Such a reaction will help deal with the terrible public diplomacy crisis created by Abu Ghraib."
Well Golllllllyyyyy I sure hope so!


Senator McCain's amendment, which sets a clear standard for U.S. interrogations of detainees and prohibits torture, goes a long way to ensure that the atrocities committed by U.S. troops at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere will never be repeated.


But we have major obstacles ahead. We still face fierce opposition from the White House, which threatened just yesterday to veto the amendment. Also, the legislation now moves to a House-Senate Conference Committee, where it will face strong opposition.
WHAT?????
Why????
Good God this is stupid but it is so fricken true ....!

....WHEN THE REALITY SEEPS INTO YOUR MIND EVER SO SLOWLY ..... SLEEPING AMERICA WILL WISE UP AND WAKE UP .....BUT WHEN IS THAT I HAVE BEN WAITING!

This site from Human Rights First which has a list and the letter that a bunch of Military leaders signed about torture and common sense. Whoaa!
http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/us_law/etn/pdf/mccain-100305.pdf is a nice that some are not sleeping here in America.
But will their voices be heard? ........Huh?

Joe Anybody here saying

STARTS WITH YOUR VOICE!
SPEAK OUT AGAINST TORTURE! AND WAR"

Bush Use of Signage Statement to Open US Citizens Mail
Mood:  loud
Now Playing: Opening Your Mail - With No Warrant = "Stoppping Terrorism" (huh)
Topic: CIVIL RIGHTS

Hello My Friends,

Did you ever think you would see the day when you would read a post like this on Reading our Mail?

Also see HERE my info on Joe-Anybody.com on this signage business 

By James Gordon Meek
New York Daily News

http://www.rinf.com/forum/surveillance-society/bush-says-feds-can-open-mail-without-warrant-t131.0.html;msg370

WASHINGTON — President Bush quietly has claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant.

Bush asserted the new authority Dec. 20 after signing legislation that overhauls some postal regulations. He then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open mail under emergency conditions, contrary to existing law and contradicting the bill he had just signed, according to experts who have reviewed it.

A White House spokeswoman disputed claims that the move gives Bush any new powers, saying the Constitution allows such searches.

Still, the move, one year after The New York Times' disclosure of a secret program that allowed warrantless monitoring of Americans' phone calls and e-mail, caught Capitol Hill by surprise.

"Despite the president's statement that he may be able to circumvent a basic privacy protection, the new postal law continues to prohibit the government from snooping into people's mail without a warrant," said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., the incoming House Government Reform Committee chairman, who co-sponsored the bill.

Experts said the new powers could be easily abused and used to vacuum up large amounts of mail.

"The [Bush] signing statement claims authority to open domestic mail without a warrant, and that would be new and quite alarming," said Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies in Washington.

"You have to be concerned," a senior U.S. official agreed. "It takes executive-branch authority beyond anything we've ever known."

A top Senate Intelligence Committee aide promised a review of Bush's move.

"It's something we're going to look into," the aide said.

Most of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act deals with mundane changes. But the legislation also explicitly reinforces protections of first-class mail from searches without a court's approval.

Yet, in his statement, Bush said he will "construe" an exception, "which provides for opening of an item of a class of mail otherwise sealed against inspection in a manner consistent ... with the need to conduct searches in exigent circumstances."

Bush cited as examples the need to "protect human life and safety against hazardous materials and the need for physical searches specifically authorized by law for foreign intelligence collection."

White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore denied Bush was claiming new authority.

"In certain circumstances — such as with the proverbial 'ticking bomb' — the Constitution does not require warrants for reasonable searches," she said.

Bush, however, cited "exigent circumstances" that could refer to an imminent danger or a long-standing state of emergency.

Critics noted the administration could obtain a warrant quickly from a court or a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge, and the Postal Service could block delivery.

But the Bush White House appears to be taking no chances, national-security experts agreed.

Martin said Bush is "using the same legal reasoning" as he did with warrantless eavesdropping.

What are signage statements?
