Kay Testimony Impeaches Bush
"$900 million dollars and the time of 1400 weapons inspectors to discover what many in the CIA and elsewhere had been telling us all along.
Are there to be no real repercussions for such a devastating official deceit?"

holy crap!
Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum will be holding its annual convention
right here in Sonoma County at the Flamingo Hotel in Santa Rosa on Saturday, February 7th. And it's jam- packed with goodies you won't want to miss!
Such as:
Environmental Misinformation: Fraudulent science and scare tactics
being used to promote the environmental agenda
Seeds of Destruction: Mind control techniques used to program
teachers and students into accepting liberal agendas
Feminism and its affect on our nation - given by Phyllis herself
Our American Biblical Heritage and Revisionist History in Schools
Islamsizing of Our Public Schools - Persecution of Christians by
"Moslems" and false propaganda being taught in our public schools to
promote Islam
Taking Back our Colleges from Liberal Bias and other talks on immigration, abortion, homosexuality, bio-ethics and more!
As Susan Lamont says " Looks ready-made for a protest! - you name it - there's something here for everyone".
You can check Phyllis out at her "Eagle Forum"
Or better still, email Zenekar@sonic.net for information on protest rallies and street theater.
We wouldn't want Phyllis to go away without expierencing Sonoma County's full range of creative voices!

Okay it's been a while since I've posted, for a variety of reasons, had to take a break from the politics and the war, had to find gainful employment or at least spend some time trying, and also there are just so many others doing a better job at the blogging..
whatever...call me lazy.
But I read a post by Riverbend where she mentioned that it had been a year since she had posted on her blog because of the war, and loss of power etc. ( damn, if that didn't make me feel like a wimp) She described how she and her family and friends gathered and celebrated the New Year's eve at her home in Iraq and I wanted to include parts of it here:
"While many people consider 2003 a 'year', for us it has felt more like a decade. We started the year preparing for war. While the rest of the world was making a list of resolutions, we were making lists of necessary items for the coming battle. We spent the first two and a half months of 2003 taping windows, securing homes, stocking up on food, water and medication, digging wells and wondering if we would make it through the year".
"We sat around from 8 until 11 in the dark, munching on popcorn, trying to remember the latest jokes (most about the Governing Council) and trying to pretend that the candles were festive. "
" So we sat, the last few hours, thinking about the last few months and making conjectures about the future. In the background you could hear a few explosions, some gunfire, helicopters and planes. I kept thinking something terrible was going to happen and we'd never see the beginning of a new year".
"At around 10 pm, they turned on the generator and we gathered around the television to watch the rest of the world celebrate their way into the New Year. The kids fell asleep on the living-room floor, in front of the kerosene heater, before the clock struck 12 and the thuds around us began getting heavier. Immediately after twelve, the sounds of warplanes and explosions got so heavy, we could hardly hear the television".
"What have the first few days of 2004 felt like? Exactly like the last few months of 2003. The last few days have been a series of bombs and explosions".
"It's strange what you can get used to hearing or seeing. The first time is always the worst: the first time you experience cluster bombs, the first time you feel the earth shudder beneath you with the impact of an explosion, the first tanks firing at houses in your neighborhood, the first check-point... the first broken windows, crumbling walls, unhinged doors? the first embassy being bombed, the first restaurant? It's not that you no longer feel rage or sadness, it just becomes a part of life and you grow to expect it like you expect rain in March and sun in July.
May 2004 be better than 2003."
and may it be...

It's been a while since I've posted onto this blog.
I needed a break from the un-beautiful news, so I invite readers to visit the poetry blog ArrestingRuby on Blogger,
where they can read the poetry of Brooke Z Erdman.
