Hey! Someone stole all of the instant updates! "I was thinking" about shaving my pussy.
I wonder if anyone would like to see a picture of that?
"I was thinking" I want a bunch of you to go over to see proud2bditzy, and just tell her "HI!"
She wants some comments for something, so go make her happy but don't rat me out, and tell her that I asked any of you to do that.

Stygius had an interesting article that once again slipped under the radar of news coverage concerning yet another attempt by Bush to stack the National Park Service with people based not on their scientific credentials, but on their ideological viewpoints.
After making a laughingstock of the entire Department of Interior with appointments such as Gale Norton, the Bush Administration obviously find it prudent to now target mid-level managers in order to ensure loyalty at the expense of the environment.
The absolutely STUNNING former record of nearly everyone in the Department of Interior demands immediate investigation. On that list, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn't opposed the Endangered Species Act, the one main thing they are suppose to be enforcing.
It's no wonder why animals such as wolves and the grizzly bears now face delisting even though their western populations only number in the low thousands. I'd call 1,200 Grizzly Bears in the entire 48 states thoroughly endangered.
But then again, don't take our word for it. Look simply at the actions taken by this administration in the past 5 years. The National Resources Defense Council details it nicely on a year to year basis here.
Among the more notable "accomplishments":
- The "Clear Skies" Act, that would actually allow an increase in harmful
pollution
- The new drilling policy on federal lands would leave cleanup costs to the
taxpayers
- Timber companies no longer need to have wildlife in mind when logging
National Forest land
- During Cheney's energy task force, industry executives actually penned new EPA
pollution rules
- Numerous whistleblowing scientists fired if they question Administration
decisions that are political and not scientific. The most recent being Andrew
Ellen, who dared say that new developments in the Florida panther habitat
would further threaten the highly endangered cat.
Not outraged yet? Then you're obviously not paying attention
And I suppose when it comes down to it, that's all you'll ever need. Chances are, never will any of us single-handedly change the world. Those in places of power and prestige will do all they can to remain there. It is a self-admitted fact to those people in power today that globalism under the capitalist mantra will do nothing but continue to increase the divison of wealth. It's been happening for the past 2 decades. Those of you who still hold fast to notions of capitalism somehow equaling a wonderful utopian world are still waiting for the economy to turn that corner.
Don't hold your breath.
It's kinda like what Bolton said about the U.N. - that it was a mere formality and the United States will do as it pleases regardless of what the world thinks. The goal that is stated is globalized capitalism with American dominance of the world. And when we speak about dominance, I mean complete and utter Orwellian lasting dominance.
On the outside, doesn't it seem like a good thing? An American empire, echoing throughout time, never going the way of the Greeks or Romans. I mean, even though we inadvertently kill a lot of people, we still have freedom and democracy in mind, and all altruistic intentions. We seek humanitarian intervention - or so we're told on a regular basis.
Which brings me to an interesting point, something that Bush said when he was in Greece. I'll paraphrase here because I lost the paper, but it went along the lines of "I have to keep repeating myself in order to get the propoganda to stick in the public mind.", which is interesting but not surprising, since our latest administration has been hiding their true intentions in broad daylight.
So, it's easy to see why we have so much FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY and TERROR and CONSTANT REFERENCES TO 9-11. Repeat it, repeat it, repeat it. It has to be beat into your head by every mainstream source until you can't forget it.
Unfortunately for the progressive movement, they don't do this. And in order to turn the ship around with a horribly small beauracratic rudder, we need to begin using those same tactics in order to wake the public. We need to bring the Downing Street Memo's to the forefront, which proves that Bush LIED and knew the intelligence was faulty. We need to bring up the terrible abuse that was done at Bagraham AFB. We need to DEMAND to know what happened in Cheney's energy task force. And oh yea - why is Medicaide costs going up, the Welfare system in shambles, and yet it is Social Security that is having a crisis?
Beat the fuck out of the dead horse.
Either that, or we need another Deep Throat who was at Cheney's energy task force. But that might not even work, because we've seen how the right-wing noise machine has already started demoninzing the original Deep Throat as a bad person. Right. Bad because he exposed crime and corruption. How is that bad G. Gorden Liddy? You fucking crook who had the audacity to go on CNBC and call Deep Throat a bad person.
How do you support such fascism with a straight face - or even worse, the typical conservative SILENCE?
Oh well. Live, laugh and love.
