i got a foggy notion

Will tomorrow be the day that Barack steps up to the plate and moves one step closer to ending the shameful Bush Regency. Once respected Senator McSame has no chance in hell of continuing the failure, here's why:

82% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track.
60+% think that the US should talk to their enemies (in other words engage in diplomacy)
consumer confidence at its lowest point since 1992.

it will be a slaughter for the GOP and I am sharpening the Halal blade as we speak. I'm still full of the audacity of hope that Hillary will climb on board as VP, but only time and Barack paying off her debts will resolve that one.

“As far as Colorado Republicans are concerned, we all will support McCain, but he’s not our first choice,” said Summer Vanderbilt, a University of Colorado at Colorado Springs student and alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention

tales from creation

in the US:
22 percent believe President Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance.
30 percent believe Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
23 percent believe they've been in the presence of a ghost.
18 percent believe the sun revolves around the Earth.
12 percent believe Barack Obama is a Muslim.

fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on the education system and Fox news.

The rise of creationism in Britain to the point where four out of 10 Britons believe it to be the literal truth – as well as the idea being taught in state-approved schools – has spread alarm throughout the scientific community.

Go on at least read it, be inspired, then laugh your arse off over the "proof", it really is hilarious, until a child gets taught: warning contains symbols for credit cards, clicking on them does not bring you closer to Jesus, only bankruptcy.

For all you "educationalist" egg heads, here is a University that may suit, get a degree in biology in less time than it takes to get a pass to flip burgers at Macca's. All you have to do is renounce any semblance of science and acknowledge that Darwin was most likely Satan hiding behind a fake beard. Hint: answer to all difficult questions on exams is "God did it"

viewpoint discrimination? political correctness? I know you peeple are fcuking nuts. That Dick Cheney is a total scumbag is a view point, Dick Cheney is a liar who shot a guy in the face and profits from war is a fact.

tales from the drug war

Here are a couple of simple facts:

the only reason "criminals" control the illegal drug trade is the enormous profits that can be made, yet on an ordinary suburban block, you can grow most drugs from seeds at naught more than the cost of the upkeep of a tomato plant.

speed: if its good enough for the US Air force....

u r passing another wild eyed Linfox representative.

opiates: poppy's grow wonderfully well in these temperate climes and would supply an addict all they need, the government could then funnel those billions they currently spend on policing/courts/prisons on something useful like rehab.

Spliff: a three to five plant limit would supply the average smoker with his/her yearly supply, and get them into the funny sunny world of gardening, that should also cut down on their three pack a day Doritos habit.

cocaine: the cocoa plant, grown, worshipped and used for a thousand years in sth America, to give you an idea of the profits a man may make from this straggly plant, a perfectly legal $300 bottle of liquid cocaine straight from the labs of Merck or Pfizer and used in the dental industry can sell for as much as $10,000. Tempted? Consult the brush your dentist uses.

Hallucinogenics: mushies grow wild throughout the hills of Melbourne (do get someone who knows what they are looking for), peyote and all those bizarre cacti will grow wonderfully, if a trifle slowly, in a simple glass house and get your rocks to the place of offness very nicely, thank you very much.

Eckies: oh you love-up generation, you will need to at least finish the first two years of your chem degree, but the good news is that, yes, you can grow the plant to get you started:

Synthesis Industrial scale methamphetamine/MDMA factory in Cikande, Indonesia
Safrole, a colorless or slightly yellow oil, extracted from the root-bark or the fruit of sassafras plants is the primary precursor for all manufacture of MDMA. There are numerous synthetic methods available in the literature to convert safrole into MDMA via different intermediates. One common route is via the MDP2P (3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone, also known as piperonyl acetone) intermediate. This intermediate can be produced in at least two different ways. One method is to isomerize safrole in the presence of a strong base to isosafrole and then oxidize isosafrole to MDP2P. Another, reportedly better method, is to make use of the Wacker process to oxidize safrole directly to the MDP2P (3,4-methylenedioxy phenyl-2-propanone) intermediate. This can be done with a palladium catalyst. Once the MDP2P intermediate has been produced it is then consumed via a reductive amination to form MDMA as the product.

So remind me why I shell out my hard earneds, and why its only the cops and the crims who are reaping Exxon styled windfall profits......

My name is Michael Short. I am here because in 1992 I was sentenced for selling crack cocaine. Before that, I had never spent a day in prison. I came from a good family. I had no criminal history. I was not a violent offender. But I was sentenced to serve nearly 20 years. I was 21 years old.

Tales from the occupied territories.

I feel stupid that I need to say this, but I 100% support the right of Israel to exist, I support the right of Israel to exist within her own borders, not other peoples. I do not in any way support the religious extremists settler movement, or any of their supporter base, such as war criminal Ariel Sharon or Mr 2% Olmert or the woman who has been angling for his job for the last year or so, Tzipi Livni..period.fullstop.

Peace in our time means returning the Golan Heights to Syria, and for Israel to return to her own borders, 1967 style or at the very least a genuine equitable carve up of the occupied territories.

till then, everything is tainted.

Dozens of skeletons from the early Islamic period were discovered during excavations near the Temple Mount, on a site slated for construction by a right-wing Jewish organization.

the soon to be indicted Mr 2% speaks:

"Israeli sovereignty over historic and holy Jerusalem, will last for eternity," Mr Olmert said.

Plans announced by the Olmert Government to build 884 new homes in two Jewish settlements in east Jerusalem to mark the anniversary drew new criticism from both the United Nations and key ally the United States.
