From the Ashes of Port-au-Prince
From the Ashes of old Port-au-Prince a new
Port-au-Prince shall rise!

My blog has been getting
short shrift of late what with proliferation of
Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and other social networking
sites that I frequent. Another way of looking at it
is I’m done ranting after 8 years of Bush and Cheney.
Although he isn’t perfect I’m impressed with Obama
one year into his presidency. At any rate I just
redesigned my site and want to take this opportunity
to inform you I’m still kicking. 
Thank you, President Obama!
You must understand
before Obama was elected president I was an American
dissident. I loved my country but I despised and
distrusted the government! This was not a new
phenomenon. To me the last palatable American
president before Obama was Dwight D. Eisenhower and
John F. Kennedy. For over 45 years I have witnessed
America go down the crapper.
Tonight, president Obama gave his first exclusive
interview to Al Arabiya, not the New York Times or
Larry King. What brains, what balls, what vision,
what leadership! I’m so impressed I'm humbled. For
the first time in my adult life I'm not an American
dissident. I don't know what else to say. Thank you,
President Obama for being a leader instead of a
follower.
America Finally Gets What It Deserves
God bless you, Mr. President!
George Bush Has Given "Democracy" A Bad Name
I tried to warn you
George W. Bush was the worst president in American
history in my last book, "Invasion of Privacy". Its
premise, which you can read here, asserted the U.S.A.
Patriot Act was enacted to whitewash the fact that
government incompetence led to 9/11. This is no
far-flung conspiracy theory.
A July 2001 memo by an FBI agent in Phoenix “about
Middle Eastern men possibly connected to Osama bin
Laden taking flight lessons” was ignored by FBI
headquarters. FBI agents then arrested Zacarias
Moussaoui, the 20th hijacker, in August 2001. FBI
attorney Coleen Rowley wanted to connect the dots by
coordinating with the CIA but she was rebuffed by the
brass at FBI headquarters because of a childish turf
war between America's top "intelligence" agencies. In
a stinging rebuke to FBI Director Robert Mueller,
Agent Rowley accused FBI headquarters of hampering
field agents from investigating Moussaoui and the
implication that he only wanted to learn to take off
and didn't want landing lessons.
But I digress. In eight short years George W. Bush
transformed the greatest democracy in history into a
broke and broken socialized country. He squandered
the good will it took America over a century to build
up with the rest of the world in a few years. George
Bush seemingly did the impossible. He gave
"democracy" a bad name!
Sarah Palin Is A Dumbbell!
Sarah Palin is on track to become the biggest laughingstock in the world in addition to the most hated woman in America. I feel no mercy for her! She deserves every bit of mockery and derision she attracts. Look no further than the prank call from Nicolas Sarkozy she fell for to appreciate how intellectually retarded and classless Sarah Palin actually is. She simply isn’t smart enough to go away!
New News
Apparently, last years blog was entirely wiped out due to updating my website. Well, c'est la effing vie! I said some pretty stupid shit in ‘08 anyway.
So, here’s to the beginning of 2009... Is it just me or is Tom Cruise growing to look more and more like Roman Polanski?
My New Website
I must confess, I don’t know why I enjoy redesigning my website so much. It takes dozens of hours and it’s a tedious pain in the ass! But it enables me to focus like a laser beam. As you may have noticed I redesigned it once again. Boy, am I ever glad that’s over! Now I can get on with 2009.
Waiting to Exhale
I've been holding my
breath since election day. I haven't written about
Obama's victory thus far because it took me this long
to recover. For the first time in decades America has
elected a president I don't feel contempt for. Pinch
me, it’s real!
Barrack Obama seems too good to be true. Intelligent,
imaginative, passionate, capable, and cool, Barrack
is the first politician who has challenged the
presidential stereotype since RFK. His emulation of
Ghandi and the ability to turn the other cheek in the
face of sleazy tactics not only stymied the
Republicans and the Clintons, it flabbergasted me.
Obama has proven he's the genuine article and I'm
proud to have been one his earliest and most ardent
supporters.
I can't help but wonder what if. What if Obama didn't
address the Reverend Wright issue head on? What if he
stooped to Hillary's level to counter her racist
campaign? What if Romney or Huckabee won the
Republican nomination instead of McCain? What if
McCain picked either of them to serve as his running
mate instead of Sarah Palin? What if McCain ran a
competent campaign instead of a circus? What if there
were no economic meltdown? The answer is I might not
have had the pleasure of writing this today!
The stars aligned in the heavens in such a way that
Barrack Obama was elected the President of the United
States. I'm slowly adjusting to this fact and have to
keep reminding myself that it's OK to exhale.
