SALUTE AL !




Al Franken has given us laughter, insight, and hope over the years. Remember the dark days when Rush ruled the airwaves, remember Gingrich and the Contract With America? I do, and I still have my copy of "Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot." I blew the dust off it tonight, opened it up and just laughed and laughed. Who would have guessed the asshole would end up a drug addict wash out?

Thanks, Mr. Franken and best of everything to you,your family and Minnesota.

I'm gettin teary eyed here, we're gonna miss you when you're gone:

Hi guys. Okay, so I'm cooking dinner tonight and I have the National News on with Charlie Gibson, (ahem, he makes everything just seem so cheery in amerika...)and two things: First, the battle today in Iraq, made it sound like a football game; Second, guess what? Despite the failure of the big auto makers in USA, The Home Depot
will be hiring 15,000 new workers this spring !!!

I mean, we are soooo lucky !!!!

What I wanna know is, how much does Home Depot pay the employees at their outlet in Tijuana? Think they have a union there?

Tijuana Policia are back in the saddle again, the federal government has given them back their guns.I guess it was pretty embarrassing, the City of Tijuana recently put up a huge billboard at the border with Hankie Rohns picture on it, announcing that the city was just such a safe place to be, having recently installed Web Cams.

This is also taken from the Tom Paine site. BTW, I emailed them and asked for a list of both the Rethugs and Democrats envolved in the previous posting of "Big Oil Gets to Keep Its Loot." As soon as I get the list, I'll post it.

It won't be ready unitl 2010, which leads me to the next couple of questions: Is the US military & government planning a longer stay in the
Middle East, say like with Iran?

Or, perhaps they plan on using it agaist US protestors?

Wow, what if this were given to US Border Patrol, think they'd use it for anything special? That would defintely end the illegal immigration issue.

Update On Cops In Tijuana




From Sign On San Diego:

"Some Cops In Tijuana Resorting To Sling Shots"
by, Anna Cearley

TEXT


Last week, the Mexican government announced that since the deployment of Army troops, the crime rate had actually decreased in Tijuana. The reason - really - why the crime rate has decreased, is because the TJ cops are not making any arrests !

The border is a clusterfuck, an absolute free for all with traffic backed up the ying yang. The Army is not patrolling the streets, they are stationed at various units stopping traffic and checking vehicles. The people in Tijuana are edgy and looking over their shoulders constantly, no protection. Of course, by now, eager drug smugglers are finding back routes across the border, duh. They did that day one after the Army arrived.

Where we live, in a so-called guarded and gated community, three vehicles were stolen last week. God knows what else has been going down in the other parts of TJ.

We are keeping a low profile and keeping everything locked up tighter than a drum.

YET ANOTHER RESOLUTION TO STOP BUSH











From CNN:

TEXT


Well, WTF, is it escation or augmentation? Let's call a spade a spade, it's escalation. History's footnotes will not whitewash this fact, only expose the bloody hands of Bush and his cadre of criminals.

And have ya heard how Bush's speech on Tuesday will cover domestic issues instead of the War in Iraq? Domestic issues? Since when has Bush been the least concerned over domestic issues? Man I gotta tell ya, Rove is jumpin through hoops, but it ain't gonna work.

Domestic issues? You mean, like this:

TICK TOCK !!!!




If you are not a stranger to Liberal blogs & sites throughout America, you are already familiar with the accomplishments of the new Democratic Congress. But, just as a refresher, let's review what the Democrats have accomplished in their first 100 hours, with time to spare:

1. Raise the minimum wage for the first time in 10 years!

2. Expand federal funding for life saving stem cell research !

3. Make college more affordable & accessible by lowering the rates on student loans from 6.8 to 3.4 % !

4. Allow the government to negociate prices with prescription drug companies !

5. Eliminate BILLIONS in subsidies for the big oil companies and slap $15 million
in fees, royalties and taxes on the oil companies !

6. Slap a conservation fee on oil & gas taken from the deep waters of the Gulf Of Mexico !

7. Scrap nearly $6 BILLION worth of oil industry tax breaks !

8. Seek to recoup royalties lost to the government because of an Interior Department error in leases issued in the 1990's !

9. Bolster terrorism fighting efforts in accordance with the 911 Report with more cargo inspections!

10. Change Internal House rules dealing with ethics, lobbying & budgeting !



Okay, let's see them roll back to environmental standards prior to Bush wiping out the established set standards during his six years of mayheim.

Also, it would be nice of them to Impeach the bastard.....

Heh, here's a site you can check on your Representatives, let them know what you are thinking, and a reminder folks; don't fall for the bullshit Bush is going to deliver on Tuesday of offering people a $7,000-15,000 break in taxes if they purchase their own healthcare, it is just more of the same, keeping the Insurance Companies and the Doctor's rich !!!

Fred Fielding Is Back In The White House









Name sound familiar? He has defended and counseled former crooks & liars including Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. He will be replacing Harriet Myers as the White House counsel.

TEXT

Gee, I wonder why? Could it be that Bush is anticipating inquiries into his administrations malfeasance, as so poignantly penned by the Washington Post:

"In Bush's case, he faces congressional demands for information on politically sensitive topics such as whether officials authorized the abuse of US held detainees, whether the administration turned a blind eye to profiterring by politically connected contractors in the Iraq war, how the White House responded to Hurricane Katrina and whether senior officials complied with the law in ordering heightened domestic surveillance."

Maybe we should add war criminal to that list.

And you know what, old Fred just has loads of experience; he served as John Dean's deputy during Watergate and best of all, covered Reagan's ass during Iran-Contra.

For those of you too young to remember:

ARROGANCE !!!! BOTH CHICKEN HAWKS WANT MORE BLOOD!!!





Here we are, 2 out of 3 people in the USA object to Bush's "new" plan to send more troops into Iraq. Yet, Bush has stated that he's going to do what HE wants to do ,"...no matter what Congress wants."

So, inotherwords, no matter what the people of the United States of America want, right? Well finally now perhaps all the Moderates, all the Republicans who have spoken out against this War and George Bush are getting a good taste of what George Bush and his scary pack of cronies are all about...audacity and arrogance !

Dead eye Cheney, famous for his FIVE fucking determents during the Vietnam War and the one who stated that during Vietnam, "I had other priorities in the 60's than military service", is just chomping on the bit to send young Americans to their deaths in Iraq. Go figure.

My husband said both these guys need to be taken out and __________.

Bush's ESCALATION





What part of his speech this evening made you the most sick? His talk of personal sacrifice, his reference to Joe Liebermann the sell-out, the ending where he was talking about freedom and democracy - and the inferrence that if you were not with him on this escalation, you were against freedom & democracy and there was something wrong with you ?

Or, just thinking of how many more Americans and Iraq's would be maimed and killed by his total incompetance, did that make you sick?

So, there he stood, ever so innocently, handing out death sentences like there was no tomorrow.

Let's see now, he lied about communicating with Congress, Pelosi already blasted him for that today; fired all the Generals and Brass who told him this so-called "surge" is NOT the way to go, hired the ones who are sycophants. Here is a little reminder of past statements, policies, strategies and miscalculations at the tune of billions of dollars, a completely clusterfucked Iraq and suffering people, and how many dead GI's, what's the number up to now, over 3,000 ? FOR WHAT?

As God Is My Witness




The San Diego Union has removed the story on Hank Rohn, the Mayor of Tijuana who stated that he wants his bodyguard "back by his side". This is the bodyguard recently released from prison who shot & killed the journalist and co-founder of ZETA, Hector Felix Miranda.

The photo of Hank Rohn above was taken from the original San Diego Union story from yesterday.

Obviously, the Union is scared. Unfortunately, by withholding the news or trying to obliterate it completely, they are encouraging the myth of Hank Rohn as just being a regular sort of guy.

Americans have the right to know that Hank Rohn is a killer, and comes from a family of killers. Perhaps then, they would rethink spending millions of dollars in tourism
related industries in Tijuana, until Tijuana cleans up its act and throws Rohn into jail where he belongs.

What a slap in the face to unknowing and naive Americans, Journalists throughout the world, and the Mexican people who oppose Rohn.

Birds Of A Feather Flock Together





Whilst we eagerly (tsk, tsk) await George Bush's new plan for a surge into Iraq, here are somemore headlines from beautiful downtown Tijuanna. I have to tell you guys though, the weather out here has been just plain spooky. 80 degrees during the day, no rain - today I watered the cacti. Last night I took the down comforter off and had all the doors & windows open.It feels kinda earthquake-ish.

Plus, get this,does anyone out there like Larry the Cable Guy? Tonight we watched "The Health Inspector". Now, Voltaire it is not, but he shore is funny. I made Mike promise to take me to see "Delta Farce", to be released in May, about these National Guard guys who are supposed to be sent into Iraq, but instead invade Mexico. Can hardly wait, damn, and I'm not even a redneck.

Meanwhile, I promise to do something on the Chump, I mean Trump Towers coming soon to Baja. I have to figure out a way to get on the site to take a video. And if you are seriously considering buying into this joke, please take a good look at your Mayor, Senor Hank Rohn: (click "Rohn Wants Murderer Beside Him")

And here's the history behind the murder:

The Guard Changes In Tijuanna !!!




For any out there who think that maybe Calderon is trying to get a grip on corruption in Tijuanna, think again.


TEXT







At this moment, I would not advise anyone to come into TJ, there are no Policia ! Calderon has replaced them all with the Mexican Army, who we all know, are just as corrupt as their predecessors.




I had a friend down in Maneadero, and this was years ago, she said:"I sort of miss the cartel guys, at least they helped out the people - now that the Army is running the dope through here, we don't get anything, they keep all the money."




The scary thing, well there are several, about the Army, is that these are young dudes with itchy fingers, not to mention their tactics used against the Mexican people in Chiapas, in alliance with the Mexican State Police & the Mexican Federal Police.




So, before you start saying oh boy, Calderon is on a roll fighting the baddies, remember, Calderon is a bad guy, and these are the groups which he favors to continue running the drugs. Pretty simple. I think we were all wondering after the so-called election, which cartel Calderon would go with. Well, now we know. Heehee, smart old dog he is, won't have to give these Federal employees a raise, shoot, they are already in on the payroll.




Heh, hope you all had Wonderful Holidays !!




Smoochies,




Goodnight, from Baja California
