DamSpot’s World

I have been watching the series “The War” by Ken Burns on PBS.
I have the Tivo doing the work for me so that I will have time to try and catch up.
I think all Americans should sit down and watch a bit of history, that is being further diluted everyday in our media, our schools and history books.

Ken Burns has done a wonderful job pulling together all the elements that took this nation to greatness, despite the efforts of many politicians to shape it in their own likeness.

Please watch this series, and understand.

It took just eight decades but H.L. Mencken’s astute prediction on the future course of American presidential politics and the electorate’s taste in candidates came true:

On July 26, 1920, the acerbic and cranky scribe wrote in The Baltimore Sun: ” . . . all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily (and) adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Iran’s President Ahmadinejad has come to the US to address the United Nations about the concerns of many that his country may, or may not have nuclear weapons. In addition, he is holding a press conference with reporters at the National Press Club. Later today, he will answer questions from students at Columbia University. I understand that there are no holds barred on the types of questions.

This is a rather refreshing change, considering that of all the countries that have a ‘beef’ with Iran, none of them, including the US have been willing to sit down with either the media or citizens and address any questions they may have concerning the ‘run up’ to a war, that pResident Monkey Boy has made his destiny to have.
All the US, the EU and Israel want to do is wipe anyone off the map who they feel they should deny them.

Well, let’s look at a little history of the ‘nuc’s.

The US led the world in the development of nuclear weapons. The technology was given to the UK, where it was stolen by the then, USSR.
In the 50’s Israel stole fissionable materials from the Savannah River Nuclear plant, located in (SURPRISE!) the US.
India, Pakistan, and the rest bought theirs from France, who in turn got it from the UK.
Now, Iran has done the same as most everyone else. They have purchased the technology and have developed their own plants.
Aside from their poor opinion of Israel, which most everyone in that area of the world seems to have, and their opinions on the Holocaust, which for good or bad, many Western Scholars are beginning to look at as well, they have not militarily threatened to bomb anyone.

So what if they have people in Iraq.

Didn’t the US have them in Afghanistan when the Soviets were there, and in Vietnam, Panama, Columbia, Cuba and on and on?
And, who invited us into Iraq anyway?

So, what everyone has to do, that is ‘after’ Iran, is get their collective heads out of their ass’s, and get their own houses in order before going after, yet again, another country that doesn’t agree with the bullshit rhetoric that the US and allies seem to spew at every, uninvited moment.

Here we go again. Bush wants to prevent children, who have no medical insurance from receiving coverage, from any to increased.

“Democrats in Congress have decided to pass a bill they know will be vetoed,” Bush said of the measure that draws significant bipartisan support, repeating in his weekly radio address an accusation he made earlier in the week. “Members of Congress are risking health coverage for poor children purely to make a political point.”

Yeah, it’s a political point to keep Johnny from dying from all the other shit you have allowed to be put into foods and the atmosphere, and then being able to be cured of it.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers announced a proposal Friday that would add $35 billion over five years to the program, adding 4 million people to the 6.6 million already participating. It would be financed by raising the federal cigarette tax by 61 cents to $1 per pack.

And…..this is a problem? How many more federal and local no smoking laws have to be instituted to educate people to stop killing themselves, and everyone else who has to breathe their shit?

But Bush has promised a veto, saying the measure is too costly, unacceptably raises taxes, extends government-covered insurance to children in families who can afford private coverage, and seems like a move toward completely federalized health care.

Raises taxes? For whom? Oh….you mean the idiots who take it upon there selves to commit suicide and also poison others, legally, by your standards?

Bush, get off your GD horse. It isn’t all about the money you and your cronies are stealing everyday.
At least show some compassion to children……like the American public has shown to you, by not hanging you, from a light poll in front of the White house.

There have been 4,091 coalition deaths — 3,792 Americans, two Australians, 169 Britons, 13 Bulgarians, one Czech, seven Danes, two Dutch, two Estonians, one Fijian, one Hungarian, 33 Italians, one Kazakh, one Korean, three Latvian, 21 Poles, two Romanians, five Salvadoran, four Slovaks, 11 Spaniards, two Thai and 18 Ukrainians — in the war in Iraq as of September 20, 2007.

At least 27,936 U.S. troops have been wounded in action, according to the Pentagon.

As many as 1 of every 10 soldiers from the war on terror evacuated to the Army’s biggest hospital in Europe was sent there for mental problems.

Folks, right now, that means, that in addition to the deaths, the number of soldiers missing limbs and all other injuries, there are approximately 3000 military head cases who will be roaming the US, as of this date.
How many school kid’s will be held hostage?
How many malls will be shot up?
How many wives, parents and children will die at their hands?

If the Government repeats the mental health coverage they have offered in all preceding wars, we will have a very large number of deaths that will be occurring over the next 20 years by these service men and woman who have been exposed to this unnecessary and illegal war on the people of Iraq.

In answer to ‘Can the Monkey Count?’
Apparently not, or he is a cold, blooded killer who needs to be stopped…….BY ANY MEANS!

You readers have had time to figure, by now, that Damspot has slipped a nut after calling a meteorite space junk.

Lets look at the real facts.

The earth is hurtling at an amazing speed. According to astronomers, there are billions of pieces of ice and stone all around us. Tons of this ’space dust’ settle on this planet daily.
The country of Peru has had several direct hits from these so called, meteorites.
What makes Peru special? Nothing at all.

Space dust is not selective. Nothing about the rotation of the earth or the position of a country makes it any more likely that it will be hit multiple times. Living on the east coast, I can drive out to the beach areas where there is little ground clutter, and see many ’shooting stars’ every night. The funny thing is, they all seem to be only over the ocean.
Same on a visit to Coronado Island, across from San Diego. Loads of ’shooting stars’.
On a visit to the Marine Corp base at 29 Palms, California I laid out on a chaise lounge, at night and watched the sky. There is so little ground clutter, or pollution that you can actually see satellites and occasionally the space shuttle with your bare eyes, traveling across the sky……but…..no ’shooting stars’.

Back to Peru. Multiple hits in the last few years.

How many meteorites have crashed down in any suburban area of the United States?
Sure, there is an occasional piece of frozen airplane waste that crashes through a roof, most recently in New Jersey. But no meteorites.

Why, it’s almost as though we can control where the meteorites land. Amazing, Huh?

I don’t think so!

However, we can and so can the Russians, de-orbit used up satellites, and other ’secret’ junk from space. And, yes, they can determining where it’s going…..for the most part.
One place we know you won’t see it come down, with it’s payload of unshielded nuclear material, is in a populated area, either here or in Europe.

Has the earth been hit by meteorites? Sure! But, not with a frequency or same location more than once, with the destructive power that they have been describing in Peru.

Now…….as Fox sNews would say, after reading this……You Decide.

I’ll tell you what I think. A big ass piece of nuclear space junk has fallen out of orbit and is poisoning people in Peru, ala Chernobyl. The symptoms are very similar to those exposed to a serious dose of radiation.
Whose is it? You’ll never know. As a matter of fact, this will probably be the only place you’ll read this assumption.

Damspot said it first.

Let’s see what todays insanity has wrought.

One of the soldiers who was involved in the B-52 bomb run the other week, has turned up dead.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Fuck with Bush and either disappear or die.

The feds dropped interest rates .50%. That means you’ll only pay Capital One 25% interest instead of 26% next month.

They have apparently put the ‘Juice’ back in the can. (Sorry, I can’t take the credit for that hideous pun). I like how the roll OJ out every so many years to take the heat off of Michael Jackson. Guess he’ll be next, again!

Louie Farrakhan traveled to Alabama today to leave a wreath on the grave of George Wallace. Said Louie, “Bein’ Black jus ain’t no fun anymore widout my favorit Honkey.” Try to figure if I made that one up.

Ron Spector’s jury is deadlocked on his verdict. That’s what happens when they don’t follow Pee Wee into the theater.

And then for today’s WTF, “Man sticks snake in mouth and gets bit”. Must be a realllll slow day for CNN.

“That’s All Folks!”
