State of the Union? (Update)
“Political collapse!” Those two words made me shutter. I was reading my newest book waiting for the bus to pick me up to take me home from grocery shopping. For me, waiting for the bus is good reading time but little did I suspect my reading would hook up with my constant and meandering thoughts as to why our country is in such dire straits just as Sen. Obama becomes President Obama.
I was only on page 53 of Randall Robinson’s latest book, “An Unbroken Agony” and already had flash backs to the few pages already read, constantly becoming very agitated and remain so many hours later.
The paragraph on page 53, however, reads:
Washington D.C. 2003. Over the course of 2003, the Bush administration broadened its assault on Haiti into a crippling, multipronged campaign. In addition to arming the Duvalierist insurgents and organizing Haiti’s tiny, splintered political opposition, the administration moved apace to strangle Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, into a state of economic, social, and political collapse.
I was mindful of Rush Limbaugh saying he wants the President to fail; the contortion of things the President and members of his cabinet say; the near total collapse of our monetary system; the perils of the auto industry; China not loaning any more money; the appearance of glorifying members of the previous Bush administration.
When the bus arrived to take me home, I was a basket case. The bus driver spoke with an accent. In order to engage her into a conversation, out of complete capriciousness and a desire to talk someone, anyone about what I had just read, I asked her, “Are you Haitian?” “Yes” she replied. “How did you know?” “That’s how my life has been going lately” I managed to reply.
Our conversation was deep. She told me she came here to study Political Science but got so frustrated with the conditions in her country she switched to nursing. When I told her it is the Political Science students who are going to make a difference in her country, I do not recall her comment. However, she told me Reagan and Clinton did try to help them but it was the Bush administrations that did them in; Bush #1 and Bush #2.
Leaving early this morning to go grocery shopping, I missed nearly all of the Sunday talk shows only to read a few postings later in the day raising my blood pressure and feeding evermore voraciously into my personal conspiratorial theories.
Could it be true there are people in this country who want to produce a “…political collapse?” i.e., efforts made in Cuba and Venezuela? I am in panic mode! The bus driver said those two countries are the kindest to them and she was going to get the book I was reading. She knew of Randall Robinson. BTW, while outside of the store reading and waiting for my bus, a fellow came up to me, “What would you give me to make me go away?” I had a lousy day!
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

Comment I read this afternoon:
I thought the article was about Sue! Why has it suddenly centred on Obama. Well, i guess there are people who steal cant deal with the fact that a BLACK man is the most power man in the world today.
Americans are not stupid people. They made a choice which we must respect. So i guess the best thing for y'all is to DEAL with it.

And opening paragraph:
On CBS show "Face the Nation" a former Vice President who actually shot a man in the "face" and a lawyer no less, actually had the nerve to proclaim that he preferred Rush Limbaugh a drug addict and a man who carries around illegal Viagra over a former Secretary of State and a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell.

Dick Cheney: A Life Pattern of Sabotaging the Security of the United States
Paul Abrams
Excerpt:
#3. Outing Valerie Plame. We know from the Libby trial that Cheney was the instigator. He may very well have been the person who conveyed Plame's name and position to Libby.
Valerie Plame was conducting an undercover operation for the CIA.
And
Again, Dick Cheney sabotaged the interests of the United States for his own gain.
