Via MSN--Every Day, Wal*Mart KILLS 100 American Jobs.

Yes, they are evil. But I was unaware HOW evil.

FWIW, it was the era of the George Bush the elder when the first Wal*Mart came to the town I was living in. I considered Bill Clinton to be the Wal*Mart President. And then the younger Bush looked like a typical Wal*Mart customer. I don't think this problem is one that Obama could ever solve.

George's Farewell Address.

Last week, an annual antique aviation airshow for charity in Maryland had to be called off because the President was visiting Camp David, and that set a no-fly zone in the area that wound up snaring many of the participants--a good number of whom were flying aircraft that were not equipped with radios ('cause they were ANTIQUES).

Turns out the company that the FAA contracted with to get this information to the flying public bungled it.

Still, I believe that the Presidential Temporary Flight Restriction is a bad idea, as any terror group serious about wanting to know the whereabouts of the President for their nefarious purposes will be can simply watch for these notices and plan accordingly. That and the matter of the waste of resources in enforcing the no-fly zones, as well as the according disruption to legitimate air traffic.

I will vote for any Presidential candidate brave enough to abolish the Presidential TFRs.

Paranoid thought for the moment:

What's to stop President Bush from seeing the "non-binding resolution" currently under debate in Congress as a treasonable act?

What's to stop him, in the event of its passage, from ordering the Secret Service and the F.B.I. to arrest all the lawmakers who voted for it?

What's to stop him from suspending the Constitution completely and abolishing Congress for the duration of the War on Terror, and declaring himself President-for-Life?

He has NOTHING TO LOSE.

Besides, the Republicans won't have to worry about Clinton or Obama in 2008 if they've already been HANGED in 2007!

Prove me wrong.

I never thought anybody named BUSH would ever be my hero...but too many Bushes are still my villains.

Upshot: the Transportation Security Administration made the mistake of hosting a public hearing on the issue of airspace restrictions set up after 9/11/01. A fighter pilot who also flies small planes as a private citizen pointed out a "loophole" in the system--and NORAD is trying to hush up the matter.

The two pictures above are current, Chinese People's Liberation Army troops in the "Aggressor" role playing American G.I.'s. The tank is a Chinese Type 69 converted to look like the M1A1 Abrams. (PS: I tried to do a direct link but ran headlong into the Great Firewall of China...)

The commercial TV networks swept GWBush's comments lauding Taiwan at the expense of Mainland China this week under the rug of other stories, but the Chinese have heard loud and clear...and are rehearsing amphibious landings operations.

I'm thinking of getting a "Blood Chit" for the back of my leather jacket. It may become a collectors item.

Hey.

Just to let you know that I'm still keeping track...

American deaths in the "G.W.O.T." (what a contemptible lie!) remain around two servicemen per day. There hasn't been an escalation or a de-escalation, the rate has pretty much held steady.

Compare two soldiers/day now to ten/day in Desert Storm, or fifteen/day in the Vietnam War, or thirty/day in the Korean War...or over three hundred/day in the two World Wars and the American Civil War.

While I've come to the conclusion that neither war nor peace is "the answer" to the problems of the Middle East--because there ARE no answers--I'm also thinking the "war" is a sham.

According to memri.org, the leaders of the Abu Hafs Al-Masri Brigade (one of the largest of the Jihadist "terror organizations") has given their followers/cells the green light to carry out attacks against American interests around the world--and already claims to have active units in the United States itself.

If this is true, it is proof positive that we are LOSING the "war on terror". I'm willing to bet they will succeed in causing at least one large-scale terror attack before they are stopped--if they get stopped at all. I have no faith in the capability of our civil security services against a determined insurgent force.

If I were in charge of a Jihadist band, I'd put together a raid on the base camp at Guantanamo Bay to liberate the detainees. Even if the raid fails, it would be a propaganda coup and make a general defeat of America look possible. If the raid succeeds, perhaps the Cubans could exploit the chaos and kick the Yankees off the island for good.

Not that I support any of this. Unfortunately I'm still an American.
