Round and Round the Little Ball Goes...

The Power of Misdirection:

A talent of magicians and others well versed in sleight of hand is to get the rube thinking about one thing as they manipulate something else before your eyes, not unlike today’s Washington scene…

While we have been up to our ears in the business of Bush and the spilling of unnecessary blood so that our leader achieve a Freudian outcome, here’s a few of the things we’ve missed along the way. Just to remind my friends:


Here’s just a sample of the things we are not attending to as we get tangled up in a War that cannot be won with the present thinking….

Balance of payments with China
Having China build our highest level security components
Our neglect of the environment
Alternative Energy Choices
Global Warming
Return of the fees for offshore drilling to the American people
The loss of jobs
illegal workers becoming citizens and qualifying for social security in 18 months instead of ten years
The downside of NAFTA which is worthy of investigation
MEXCANUSA: the new country being built by Canada, US and Mexico
Carlyle: Why no mention of it
Why the media's running scared
What about the FCC's abuses of the airwaves: When are we going to turn that back?
Meeting the Terrorist challenge
What our borders aren't protected
Why our ports lend themselves to terrorist plots
What are we doing about all of the nuclear materials on the open market
What is our contingency plan when the President is assasinated?
Why do we continue to add to the stockpile of weapons between India and Pakistan who are already at a heightened war condition
What will it take to recognize the threat of China to the US
Remember New Orleans? What are we going to do about it
How do we plan the other cities in the US vulnerable to rising tides...
Why are we allowing Green Card holders to take the jobs Americans are qualified for
What about the schools? When are we going to make the improvements necessary?
What about science? When are we going to lead in technology again?
Why haven't we pushed for separation of church and state?
What are we going to do about the voting fraud in Ohio?
When are we going to hold the president to his lies and misinformation
When will Rumsfeld be made to pay the price for running the Army on a shoestring
When are the people going to be told that the AntiMissile System is a costly hoax
When are the people going to be told that No Child Left Behind is a Fraud of the Worst Kind
When are we going after bin Laden? Why did we let him escape in the first place
When are we going to have a real investigation and inquiry into 9/11 without the toadies...
When are we going to investigate the FBI's misuse of staffing and funds
When are we going to end slash and burn tactics in the US
When are we going to connect the increases in lung and related disease to the burning of coal and other fossil fuels
Why did the car companies discontinue the tests of the electricity/gas cars that jproduced up to 1,000 miles on a gallon of gasoline..
When will the Constitution be returned
When will we have privacy
When will we return to habeas corpus
When will the torture of American citizens end
When will we regain transparency in our affairs
When will the truth come out about Bush's military record
Why are we still assigning no bid contracts
Why are we not fighting for an accounting of money spent on Iraq
Why was a major war contractor allowed to lose 9 billion dollars without punishment
Why was the money allocated for rebuilding Iraq not used
If Iraq was so important that we must add troops to win, why didn't you do that in the first days of the War?
Why is Fast Track still in force even though we know it's been totally misused
Why have we lost all of our manufacturing strength?
Why have we allowed American manufacturers to set up off-shore sites to offset taxes
Why are the rich allowed to earn 400 times what the average worker on the floor earns...
Why have we allowed competitive military contractors to merge with each other
Why are we paying over 225 million a fighter when the last one was as good as we'll ever need at 35 million dollars...
Why has this government instituted not one single change for the average citizen that is a benefit
Why are the drug companies allowed to get away with their gouging
Why is it that every state we invade has oil or some other precious resource or is a location for a pipeline
Why do we continue to want to drill in our most pristine areas
Why do we allow logging trails to destroy the wilderness
Why is the cost of medicine into the stratosphere
Why do we not demand more of those who serve as subcontractors to the US
Why do all of the secretaries in the Bush cabinet come from the companies they are supposed to police
Why do we allow churches to decide the disposition of public funds...
