Would that life were like the shadow cast by a wall or a tree, but it is like the shadow of a bird in flight.
---The Talmud
In other words, apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there?
---Harold Pinter
A hundred thousand words are flowers in the sky
a single mind and body is moonlight on the water
once the cunning ends and information stops
at that moment there is no place for thought.
---Han-Shan Te-Ch'ing
In the photo from the Tucson Citizen, Jill Gwinn, 52, and her 13-year-old niece, are detained in connection with an egg-throwing incident outside Tucson Convention Center. The two were cited by police.
Hey Guys!
I don't know what it is about George, but everywhere I go the dude shows up. Buddy, my trip to Tucson this week was supposed to be strictly pleasure---and mostly it was!---but the whole place got knocked out of joint, which is typical for your "events", by your decision to have one of your "conversations" with us. We all remember how much you love Ohio and all the times you breezed through last fall. The one time I actually tried to catch a glimpse in Parkersburg, West Virginia, you left orders to greet me with a helmeted, black-uniformed, fully-armed SWAT team ( [link] ). Well, I got the hint---so this time I checked my appointment book first---and, sure enough, I was not among the 1500 specially invited "guests" with whom you insisted on being surrounded at the Tucson Convention Center Monday ( [link] ). Let's see, is that taxpayer money that pays for Presidential appearances? More >

I thought I'd rip this article from the wonderful folks at [link] because so many of my compatriot Americans are so dumbed down by 'media,' so saturated with 'PR' spin, that they have not taken, even a moment aside, to consider much of anything let alone the meaning of life.
Cindy Sheehan is a 'mother' who writes well, is passionate, loves life ,and deserves to be heard. I'd like to take sheaves of her writings and shove them down every 'Congress' members throat. I'd like to do the same for the glorious Commander In Chief! I never had much respect for 'Commanders' and I have a whole lot less now. May they all rot in hell is the way I feel.
Terry Schiavos' name has been blinged about in the asylum yet it's OK to send young men and women overseas to be murdered in the name of American tyranny. Don't make the mistake and think that we are in Iraq, or any where else for that matter, because of 'Democratic' altruism or to push 'Democracy' down peoples throats who know its' lies and do not want it.
So excuse me L.R. for this RIP. I hope everyone here will take a taste of Cindies' brew and remember...
It could be you! More >

Hi everyone !
I thought maybe you might all like this little adventure that a friend shared with me.
This is the way that it works.....
Here along the path of our spiritual journeys we have created a perfect spot where those who pass through can request one wish at a time !
Once you have requested this wish the next person who crosses your path must grant the wish (but in doing so must place a twist on it) so be careful for what you wish for!!!
For example: I might wish for a pet cat ...
and the next person who crosses my path may grant me this wish but write something like ...
As I wave my magic wand I grant you this wish - you now have a pet cat called Kitty - however kitty is lonely so goes in search of some feline friends and you can no longer find her.
So like I said be careful what you wish for ...
I hope you'll all enjoy asking for and granting wishes to everyone...and so - I shall start this off with ...
I wish that I could Fly like a bird.

GEORGE W. BUSHÂ’S
BLURRED VISION FOR AMERICA
A TvNewsLIES Diagnosis
The man has been badly maligned. For more than four years now, detractors and critics repeatedly have accused George W. Bush of sporting a smirk. They have mercilessly disparaged the PresidentÂ’s smug expression that seemed so inappropriate and so disdainful, for so long. ItÂ’s time to apologize.
George W. Bush does not smirk when he addresses the nation or the world. The man squints. He suffers from a severely distorted version of reality and all that takes place around him. The squint is an involuntary reflex, for which he is not responsible. It is the natural response of a man whose vision for American and the world is irreparably blurred. ItÂ’s time to be very, very concerned
George W. Bush, with the support of his handlers and sycophants in the corporate media, creates his own truths. Facts and supportive evidence are irrelevant. He sees through the blur of a Divine inspiration that supersedes historical precedent and Constitutional law. He sees through a psychedelic prism of corporate profits and religious fervor, and he ultimately believes his own myths. It is time to confront the farce.
THE INTERNATIONAL BLUR
1.
George W. Bush believes he has the power to determine the leaders and/or forms of government of other sovereign nations. Obviously, he cannot clearly read the Constitution of the US, - a document that clearly defines the role of the President. Somewhere, through the blur of his misinterpretation, George Bush believes he has been endowed with the power to determine the policies of foreign governments. What nonsense. ThatÂ’s Article 2, Section 2. Check it out.
2.
George W. Bush believes that the invasion of Iraq is the primary battleground of his War on Terror. Aside from its illegality under International Law, the invasion of Iraq was a ruse to divert resources from the terror threat against the US. Terrorist attacks, and recruitment into terrorist groups increased dramatically throughout the world after the invasion. Iraqis experienced more deaths and more terror as a result of the invasion than at any time in recent history. And, for the record, George Bush is responsible for more civilian deaths than all terror organizations in the world combined.
Much more....

The wealthy have always used many methods to accumulate wealth, but it was not until the mid-1970s that these methods coalesced into a superbly organized, cohesive and efficient machine. After 1975, it became greater than the sum of its parts, a smooth flowing organization of advocacy groups, lobbyists, think tanks, conservative foundations, and PR firms that hurtled the richest 1 percent into the stratosphere.
