Damn I hate being sick....and during such a GREAT Rant cycle too.......some many I've missed out on. Ah well.......

Chertoff/Brown/Fema: WTF.......I knew when FEMA was absorbed by DHS that we were screwed.....not a lot of thinking needs to go into that. Could Brown have been more assertive? HELL YEAH but his Boss is a Micro Managing twit. Read.....read his interview transcripts.....that asshole had to approve everything that required funds or major resource allocation and anyone who doesn't think that Katrina required cash and resources is a complete moron. GAAAAAHHHH! And now $300 Million worth of trailers are sitting in the f#cking mud while they are kicking people out of hotels? Drag that pompous ass down to New Orleans, give him a cardboard box to live in and have some cops beat him every three hours so he knows what its like for some people down there (in all honesty the beatings are to make me feel like I'm getting my tax dollars worth because I've been robbed so far).

Iran: Bomb them....bomb them now........bomb them until all our "old" bombs are gone. Bomb them until they have no infrastructure left to need Nuclear Energy. Bomb them and then say it never happened.

Hamas / Palastinians / Israel: This one worries me a lot. This can blow up.....FAST. I think the "Roadmap to Peace" just got thrown out the window and we are now on the road to a war then is not going to end with anything less than the total destruction of a people. Anyone who thinks Israel is going to take any shit can live with Chertoff in his cardboards box. This is an ugly situation. Can it be salvaged? Sure but Hamas as a governig body is going to have to crack down on other militant groups HARD as well as getting their own yahoos in line. On the plus side (and both Israel and the US are idiots if they don't go for this) Hamas said they would be willing to turn its militant wing into a Palastinian Army. That idea is great because it brings them out of the shadows. You can see them and if you can see them you can deal with the problem if it arises....permanently. Never turn down a chance to see what your oponent has in his hand. Even if its BS you see some of the things in play and thats more than you knew a minute ago.

Dick Chaney / Hunting: Stupid mistakes by two guys with guns. Someone damned near died and that's bad enough but can you honestly tell me that if it was Wayne Williams from Waco Texas that had accidently shot a hunting buddy with an invalid hunting lisence that his ass would not have been in jail and that he would have walked away with a "don't worry about it Dick"? Bull Shit! Take Dick down town, file a f#cking report and if he broke a damned law then make him suffer the same damned consequnces that good ole Wayne would have. PERIOD.

Danish Cartoons: Ok......its a f#ucking cartoon. Granted it was an ill concieved project but the Media has gotten away with doing things like this for so long, it was just another day for them. Its time to start arresting people and making them pay for this shit. 11 dead and an Embassy burned to the ground?!? That is an attack on a Sovereign Nation...an Act of War. People should be on their way to prison for life. Control your people before someone decides not to look the other way as they rip up their frontyard. One of these times they are going to do it and that crazy assed Vietnam Vet down the road is going to come out shooting. You know what? The Militants and Extremists want that....thay want to flash point....they want a reason to kill people. That's how they keep their power. Reach down, grab your balls, give them a squeeze and take control of these rioters. There is such a thing as being too Liberal and baby we are there on this. Freedom of speech and expression is one thing. Freedom to burn down a building and kill people......well, that isn't freedom....that's terror.

Well....that's it....some micro-Rants and I'm sure I've missed a lot of Rant-able stuff.....these are just the big ones that I remember.
