That's weird. Post repeated itself. No doubt I did something to help that along. Gawd!

The rate Liebermann is going, he might as well declare himself a Republican and be done with it. This bankruptcy bill is a huge gift to the credit card companies in Delaware, and since Sen Joe Biden is their senator, he's going along with it. $$$ you know. And since they're Republicans, and it's their bill, the GOP members of the Senate and House will vote on the side of the corporations every time.

Same with Social Security. When it comes to citizens who are not wealthy, the Repubs have no interest in doing anything helpful for them...or even anything that doesn't hurt them. Unless you have money, you're on your own regardless of circumstances. One exception...they'll give you bonuses if you'll join the military to fight the neocons' wars. And that's it. What a pathetic, miserable mess of individuals they are.

Slowly, but with increasing speed, they work their way toward turning the United States into their version of a fascist state. Not a doubt in my mind but what they're planning madly even at this moment to put another neocon like Bush into the White House in 2008, and increase even more their majorities in the Congress and to get their hand-selected judges onto the Supreme Court and in power there. They're long term planners. With enough money, they'll have most churches and congregations conned into supporting them.

Citizens do not pay enough attention. Not even to local politics. Just listening to an LA radio news station on the way home from Old Town. Reporter out on the streets asking people if they know there's an election there tomorrow for Mayor. Nothing else has gotten so much LA air time, newspaper time. And yet there were people who had no idea the election for Mayor of LA is tomorrow. So it's easy to see why citizens voted for this administration. They just pay no attention. They'll wish they had.

Writers got into telling jokes tonight, so much laughter. Talked some about the military bloggers and about how easily the entire nation could be sent into blackness with electromagnetic bombs...which we have but so far others don't have. Just more generalized talk tonight. Workshop leaders of the past and such. But as always, we had a great time...just relaxed and social. Nice.
Wrap.
