Anti-War Rally and March

Earlier today Peace Action Wisconsin held a rally and march up Wisconsin Avenue to protest the War in Iraq. They started at O'Donnell Park at the end of Wisconsin Ave. and ended up at the Royce Federal Building which houses Senator Kohl's office. Sorry wrong year set on camera. Should be 2007.

FEMA Taking Hit on Sale of Surplus Trailers

In another fine example of Government big time screw-ups, the US Government has thousands of trailers sitting in fields and warehouses while scores of people go homeless and house less after Katrina and other catastrophes that have recently ravaged our country. The weird thing is they can't give them away because of legislation promulgated by the Fat Cat Industries which says that they must first donate them to local government agencies and others prolonging the process. In the meantime our citizens are without homes and jobs and forced needlessly to go on the dole because of this legislative boondoggle. What were they thinking? Were they thinking at all? How could they succumb to the pressure of the greed of big business? This is a prime example of government waste that you and I should be fuming over.

I think it is about time we picked up the phone and called our legislators and let them know how we feel. Let them know that we need a faster process to get these desperately needed dwellings to people in need. It is costing needless Tax Dollars, yours and mine to allow this sham continue. This is something we need to take care of right now. Don't wait, pick up the phone and call now. This is too important to let slide by.
Ain't that the truth?

What? No Plan B?

No U.S. Backup Strategy For Iraq

No surprise here that the USA, or should I say Shrub and Marine Gen. Peter Pace have no plan B in place if the new deal to stabilize Iraq doesn't work. Now during my crazy days as a motorcycle outlaw biker, we always had a Plan B and even a Plan C to fall back on. The best case scenario worked most of the time. Then again sometimes it didn't and we had to have a way out when things went wrong. We never had to use Plan C but we did use Plan B one or two times. No one ever would up in jail or hurt. That is why there is always a Plan B. We knew what we wanted to do and we didn't want to get hurt nor did we want anyone hurt either. The problem with no Plan B is that you may be put up against a wall with no way out. So what happens? You fight your way out and hope you make it out alive. Not a good thing to have happen.
So Shrub has this Gung-ho Marine General and not the brightest bulb in the pack it seems, saying that Plan B is to make Plan A work. This guy has a death wish or he is a few bricks shy of a load. Choose one. So typical of the Bush administration. Hell bent for leather with guns blazing without a thought about the consequences. How stupid can they be?
I don't know about you, bu this has got to end and the sooner the better. I hat to talk about impeachment, but Bush is way over his head and sinking fast. It is obvious that he doesn't care about the welfare of the American people, only the mess he has got us into. I also think we should carefully examine the mans mental stability and whether this has taken an irreversible toll on him. If it has then it is time to stop the sherade and call a spade a spade. Regardless of which political party you belong to, it is time to examine our priorities and put an end to the war.
This is my own persoal opinion and it may not be yours. Your comments are always welcome.
