“Ask not for whom the gong gongs Gonzales, it gongs for thee…”
March 1st, 2007 at 5:36 pmThe dumb a$$ who faked the transcript against a suspected terrorist funder still has a job and the guy who busted Duke Cunningham was fired.
March 1st, 2007 at 5:36 pmAwright Conyers!
March 1st, 2007 at 6:01 pmAnd I believe that when Grupenfeuhrer Gonzales testified that he was shocked, shocked that anyone could believe they would fire anyone for political reasons, he was under oath.
It’s not his underhanded, scummy, behavior that bothers me, it’s that he lied under oath. (Hmm, where have I heard that before?)
March 1st, 2007 at 6:16 pmI think that witch Heather Wilson, the Repub from NM, is also involved in the shady dealings. I heard from a confidential source that her husband was once charged with assaulting an adolescent. I really don’t know the particulars, but it is a blemish on her pasty-white reputation, to be sure. She’s expendable-
March 1st, 2007 at 6:21 pmYeah, Babs baby, but what about Oily Peter Domenici? It could really cut into your lifestyle if he wasn’t around to grease your skids……
March 1st, 2007 at 6:42 pm#6- That bastard spurned me years ago. That’s why he is still an unassigned Senator, not worthy of kissing my ring finger. I hate him. George keeps him around, for some reason unknown to me.
March 1st, 2007 at 6:57 pmI know a few of the reasons, Babbsy dear, and they involve tremendous devestation, radiation, and planes and guns and bombs and general destruction…
March 1st, 2007 at 7:04 pmHunter S. Thompson famously noted that Nixon kept pushing his luck until it ran out.
Mirror, mirror on the Wall,
Who’s the biggest bastard of them all?
Can it be Nixon, away in the clover?
Or can it be that Gonzalo-Bush’s glory days are over?
Golf pro John Conyers selects a ten pound hammer from his bag and tees up on the Attorney General’s ball.
The ball is sweating.

ZetaTalk: Human Condition
Note: written July 5, 1995
The human condition, on Earth at this time, is deliberately one of confusion. We will examine several situations that may help to clarify the issues at play.
First, humans desire security. The human condition is insecure. From birth, or particularly at birth, the human is acutely aware of its insecure position. Nude, tiny, unable to navigate, utterly dependent on others. The human infant wants to dominate those it is dependent upon. It is natural for the human to want to dominate its environment. The human wants to control the climate, the seasons. Homes are structured to provide summer warmth year round. Food is grown or at least provided as though harvest season were year round. Storms have no effect, nor do catastrophes have effect. There is social security, the umbrella of government aid. Floods and hurricanes are but another reason to open the government coffers. All this is evidence that the human wants to dominate its environment.
Second, the desire to dominate goes outside of inanimate factors. The human wants to dominate the other humans in its vicinity. Starting with the infant’s desire to dominate its mother, all her attention, and on to the stage of public opinion, the human desires to be the focus of attention. The infant wants its cry to bring immediate attention. The adult want its comments to bring rapt attention from others in the conversation group. No difference. Those who can command attention will get their needs met – so goes the logic. The infant displaced by a younger sibling is insecure, as it is no longer the focus of attention.
Third, love comes into play. Love, or empathy, is something felt at an early age. Empathy is not an emotion reserved for the intelligent, sentient being alone. Love and empathy are felt by all forms of life, even plant life, to some degree. It is a factor of life. It is intrinsic to life. Love and empathy pull the human into a conflict situation with its desire for security, to be the center of attention. Decisions are made to share the spotlight, to share resources. These decisions vary greatly, among humans. Some humans consider others on the same plane as the self. Other humans rarely, if ever, consider others, and never on the same plane as the self.
March 1st, 2007 at 7:40 pmI’d rather see supoenas going out for impeachment proceedings….
March 1st, 2007 at 8:20 pm‘Rachel’s’ off-topic trollpiece does refer to ZETA, the nickname of Dr. Gonzo’s chief assistant during Fear and Loathing decades past. Take another tab of mescaline, Rach, and then post some more of your hippy nonsense, mKay? Because you’re clearly USELESS for politics.
Zooey, we don’t have enough votes for impeachment in either body. But even if we did, the House would not be issuing subpoenas for those proceedings — they would be from the Senate.
* Please make a note of it.*
March 1st, 2007 at 10:51 pmits so nice to know this hearing won’t be held in the basement!
