The discovery:
As a Professional Geologist, I attempted to link the Dust Bowl/Great Depression to a pre-glacial condition or mechanism and ended up writing the book H2onE2. I felt that there was a strong connection between the Dust Bowl and transition back into Glacial Winter. I did notice that my professors scientifically crumbled every time I mentioned the relationship. I could not go back in time or locate indisputable proof. The proof came from understanding all educational disciplines including history and theology. I soon discovered that all religious text both eastern and western continually described significant climate change conditions relating to Glacial Respiration. For years I fought off mixing science and religion until I discovered that the origins of all religions were founded or created to help humans psychologically survive the harsh earthen environment. Without reason I soon accepted that the world’s complicated religions were the same. This came true and I continued to write and discover. Everything came into place as though I was unlocking a 10,000-year-old puzzle. I also realized this puzzle was opened before I discovered it, by someone else, some other group. If so, further understanding of this knowledge might be extracted from significant historical events. Lastly, this is the vital information needed to make future predictions.

Where years after the Nuremberg trials we’d read our history books and smile and feel proud because we knew we had the moral high ground and had truly done what is right.

America, where when we were kids, we were the good guys.

America, the place where immigrants from all over the world could come and find a refuge from repression, murder and political intimidation.

America, where the middle class was alive and well and secured peace for more than sixty years.

America, where if anyone came here and said anything disparaging about us, we’d say, it’s not true, it’s not true, take it back!

America, where you’d hear people say, this is the greatest country on earth, and wouldn’t hesitate to agree.

America, where after 9/11 the world, including Iran mourned for all those innocent people.

America, where we squandered the good will of the world and became a country resembling a fearful, paralyzed, reactionary dictatorship, and lost the good will of the world, our moral high ground and any semblence of a strong, fearless, hopeful nation.

America, where have you gone? I miss you.

Hard to say. Her district consists of about three quarters of the city of San Francisco, so it’s a safe Dem district (Nancy got 80% of the vote in 2006 and 83% of the vote in 2004, but she wasn’t Speaker back then).

It would take another Democrat beating her in the primary to defeat her. It’s highly doubtful that a Republican would beat her in the general election, even if she were to beat up elderly ladies in the middle of Union Square.

Actually, the White House released this statement from Bush when Molly died:

“Molly Ivins was a Texas original … I respected her convictions, her passionate belief in the power of words, and her ability to turn a phrase. … Her quick wit and commitment to her beliefs will be missed.”

Which is, of course, what you say about a person who died that you have a hard time saying anything complimentary about. When Dubya dies, I’m sure there will be a lot of people making comments about his convictions and passionate beliefs.

She wrote for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, but was syndicated by creators.com. Here’s a link to her last column — the one where she famously declared that WE are the deciders, and urged us to make noise, bang pots and pans, and demand a stop to the war NOW.

And if you scroll toward the bottom of the page, you’ll find a calendar where you can look up other columns.

Bush Senior was a snake, then when sweet Nealie let Silverado Bank go down and taxpayers had to pay, or Marvin on the security board for WTC, or Jeb with his drug dealers from Columbia going scot free.
I mean it is on and on with this bunch.. No matter what Clinton did it can’t compare to this family. And Bush supporters think he is looking out for them. Only if they are hunting him down with a gun.

Meanwhile, impeachment is still off the table.

What I find very puzzling about Nancy Pelosi’s actions is that she is a Congressperson and has to run for re-election in 2008. What do you think her chances are to be re-elected in California at this point? I think they are next to none. Even Cindy Sheehan could beat her at this point.

Bless Molly!!

Molly Ivins skewered everybody who deserved it, but never kicked somebody who was down. Bill Clinton didn’t even get spared. But he said, upon her death, “I want to say a special word of appreciation to someone who was good when she praised me and painfully good when she criticized me.”

Of course, when she was a thorn in Bill’s side, Bill felt the remedy was to try to be a better president. This is where he and Dubya differ.

Better he should bar them from performing torture.
