Abramoff gets less than 6 years

Garbage Man Gets Republican Justice: "U.S. District Judge Paul Huck sentenced Abramoff, 47, and his former partner, Adam Kidan, 41, to the shortest possible prison terms under sentencing guidelines"

Fortunately he was a Republican hooligan, so he gets the 3 winks punishment. Ouch !!! And, as an added incentive for others to never reform, he will serve any other sentence given him in other trials concurrently. See, if you're a Rightie you don't have to rub against the great unwashed - ever!

Some Don't, Some Do Like It Hot

Culture Doesn't Sit, It Flows: "America's war in Iraq might be misguided, for many reasons. But culture is not one of them. By making blanket claims about Iraqi culture, the war's critics place 25 million people in the same conceptual straightjacket. "

Excellent thoughts by a smart guy.

Environmentalists Lost Battle Over Cancer Causing TCE

Bush Mentality Puts Public In Harms Way: "What happened with TCE is a stark illustration of a power shift that has badly damaged the EPA's ability to carry out one of its essential missions: assessing the health risks of toxic chemicals.

The agency's authority and its scientific stature have been eroded under a withering attack on its technical staff by the military and its contractors. Indeed, the Bush administration leadership at the EPA ultimately sided with the military."

The complete emaciation of government is the heartfelt goal of the new devils. Destroying their efforts is the only moral goal.

A Terrific Author Deals With The History Of God

A Historian's Faithful Account: "'Start with the pain of life and let it crack you open.' "

"Once you discover what it is that gives you pain, then you must refuse under any circumstances to inflict that pain on others."

Needless to say, we would gain by reading this author's work.

'War' on Christians Is Alleged

'If you want to see hatred's face, look at this schmuck: "Don Feder, founder of a group called Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation, urged the crowd not to blame 'the liberal, self-hating Jews in Hollywood.'
'Remember, the people in this audience are more Jewish than people like Barbra Streisand, because you embrace Jewish values, she doesn't,' he said."

This guy is a classic piece of shit religious bigot. If you can find him, spit in his face.

Lou Dobbs Is Not Smart And Not Correct

Lou Dobbs, Bilehead Anchor - Wins Viewers: "He said he did not believe that traditional objective journalism brought people closer to the truth. Asked if he himself knew what the truth was, Mr. Dobbs said: 'I have strong feelings that I do. I have strong evidence I do.' "

Dobbs is so full of himself there remains very little room for the bullshit that informs his opinions. He is without doubt the most pompous ass on CNN.

Arizona Skin-head Congressman Wants Hispanic Families Gone Gone Gone

Immigration Battle Reveals GOP Fear of Non-white Population:

IDIOT FOX NEWSCASTER: But, Congressman, it's not just the CEOs. It's mothers hiring illegals as maids. It's guys who have small farm plots hiring illegals to pick the fruit. These aren't big CEO corporate criminals we're talking about.

HAYWORTH: Well, look, introspection can take place at every level."

Introspection fad skips Hayworth, lands with a thud near his lobbyist sign-in booth.

Righties Sneer At Morality

Republicans Suspect Jesus May Be Aiding Illegal Immigrants - Vow To Outlaw Loaves & Fishes To Non-citizens: "Only 4 of the 10 Republicans on the committee supported the bill. They were the committee chairman, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, and Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mike DeWine of Ohio and Sam Brownback of Kansas. All eight Democrats on the committee voted in favor of the legislation..."

"...all of those people who were demonstrating were not necessarily here illegally," said Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, who sponsored the legalization measures with Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts. Mr. Kennedy described the people who would benefit from the bill as "our neighbors," adding: "They're churchgoers. They're the shop owners down the street. They're the people we know."

Watching righties sweat is sweet.

America's Newspaper Is Published By The Messiah

Gibberish from a man whose inner discipline led him to clean his plate: "If you must say rude things, here's an idea. Say it about your opponents (clue: They have a D after their names). "

Never forget that this large fiasco of a man works for a human being who declares himself to be the Messiah. Every sentiment from Tony Blankley, every proclamation he might make, and every urging of his to fellow citizens, is coming from a place where false is king and sanity is absent. Unless of course you worship Reverend Moon, the Messiah.

Conservatives Are Too Fucking Dumb By Half

Republicans Are Dooming The Chance Of Americans Surviving: "The partisan gap on global warming seems to be shifting, according to the poll. In 1998, 31% of Republicans and Independents alike were sure that global warming was happening; it was not a distant 39% among Democrats. Today, 46% of Democrats and 45% of Independents are certain, and 26% of Republicans feel that way, according to the TIME/ABC News/Stanford University poll."

Liberals have been the leaders on this issue from day one. Republicans are far too frightened to look beyond their blinders; they secretly believe that it's all a bunch of hooey. That they are wrong is palpable.

This is absolutely the wrong law !!!

We Californians are related to the Republic of California and a Mexican heritage: "The U.S. House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants, require churches to check the legal status of people they help, and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border."

Heartless Political Instincts

Righties Give Birth To The Border Wars : "They are 'a scourge that threatens the very future of our nation,' he says. He laments 'the cult of multiculturalism,' and worries about America's becoming a 'Tower of Babel.' If Republican presidential candidates don't put the problem atop the agenda in 2008, he says he'll run himself, just to force the front runners to talk about it. Not that he thinks he'd win the White House. He declares himself 'too fat, too short and too bald' to be president. If the Republicans lose the election because he's too tough on the issue, he says, 'So be it.'"

Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo, your basic rightie thug, is at work ending the Republican domination of congress. The Democrats are working hard to thwart this effort and, if history is a guide, will come from in front to help those righties to another successful 3-point landing and leftie lynching.

Malkin Turns on New 'Wash Post' Blogger

Step Down: "Domenech's detractors, are right. He should own up to it and step down. Then, the Left should cease its sick gloating and leave him and his family alone.'"

Malkin is an ass.

"Conservative writer Rick Moran wrote today on The American Thinker site that "what simply cannot be tolerated in any venue where the written word is revered and opinions respected is plagiarism.

And according to material dug up by several lefty bloggers, the shocking fact seems to be that Domenech is a word stealer of epic proportions, someone who has lifted entire articles from other sources and claimed the words and ideas as his own...."With so many eloquent and able conservative writers, I’m sure the Post will have no problem finding someone else to take over a blog that should be espousing honesty and decency as the principles by which we on the right live by.

"Anything short of that just won’t do."

Malkin is an unsane flop whose conceit is that her personal fear and loathing are invisible. To any liberal with a pulse, she is clearly a very pathetic, asymetrical know-nothing whose pond was drained long ago of all but the weakest eggs of the oldest mosquitos. When she runs for public office, one hornet will kill her off.

"I have never EVER taken a piss in my life"

Lobbyists Running Santorum's Charity: "Parsons: 'Why are you paying a lobbyist, Rob Bickhart, to run that charity of yours?'

Santorum: 'Well, first of all, he's not a lobbyist, No. 1.'

Parsons: 'Well, he's a principal in a lobbying firm.'

Santorum: 'No, he's a principal in a public affairs firm, a government relations firm. And he does a whole bunch of other things.'

But Capitol Resource Group's Web site clearly lists lobbying as a service it provides to clients. And just last month, when Sen. Arlen Specter was facing questions about his ties to lobbyists, published reports in the Post-Gazette and New York Times said Bickhart and his Capitol Resources Group lobbied Specter.

Parsons: 'Sen. Specter said last month that he was lobbied by Rob.'

Santorum: 'That's fine. Look, the bottom line is, I have a charity - My name is associated as the founder. Beyond that, the operation of the board is the board's decision. It's not my decision,' Santorum said.

But Santorum is chairman of the board for Operation Good Neighbor, according to the charity's most recent IRS tax filings."

Tell the waiter that Mr. Santorum only wants a light cream sauce on that goose.

Right Hand Shoots Left Hand

U.S. Hiring Hong Kong Co. to Scan Nukes: "'One can conceive legitimate security concerns and would hope either the Homeland Security Department or the intelligence services of the United States work very hard to satisfy those concerns,' Wortzel said.
Three years ago, the Bush administration effectively blocked a Hutchison subsidiary from buying part of a bankrupt U.S. telecommunications company, Global Crossing Ltd. (GLBC), on national security grounds.

And a U.S. military intelligence report, once marked "secret," cited Hutchison in 1999 as a potential risk for smuggling arms and other prohibited materials into the United States from the Bahamas.
Hutchison's port operations in the Bahamas and Panama "could provide a conduit for illegal shipments of technology or prohibited items from the West to the PRC (People's Republic of China), or facilitate the movement of arms and other prohibited items into the Americas," the now-declassified assessment said."

Ooops. The white-house righties forgot that they spent a godzillion sound bites convincing us that terror was right around the corner.

General Peter Pace Calls for Review of Iraq News Propaganda Program

Our credibility might be in question - 'ya think?: "The top U.S. military commander called Thursday for a formal Pentagon review of the policies that led to defense officials paying the Iraqi media to place favorable stories in their newspapers. "

This is that smart stuff that Bush is really good at.

I Really Believe That Roberts Is A Monster

Perhaps The Most Dangerous Man In America: "Roberts wrote, italicizing for emphasis, that the 'correct approach' to deciding the case was simple and obvious: 'The 4th Amendment protects privacy. If an individual shares information, papers or places with another, he assumes the risk that the other person will in turn share access to that information or those papers or places with the government.'

He called the rule set by Souter's majority 'arbitrary,' 'obscure' and 'random' because it depends on the co-owner's 'good luck' of being at the door when police arrive.

In a footnote, Souter fired back. 'In the dissent's view, the centuries of special protection for the privacy of the home are over,' he wrote. He derided Roberts' 'easy assumption that privacy shared with another individual is privacy waived for all purposes, including warrantless searches by the police.'

Roberts responded that 'it seems a bit overwrought to characterize' his approach as demolishing the privacy right considering that the majority had agreed that a homeowner asleep in the next room would not have had a privacy right to object to the search."

In my garden of horrors, he's third on the list behind asteroids and copyright laws.

Clinton Invokes Jesus

Clinton vows to block bill criminalizing illegal immigrants: "'It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures,' Clinton said, 'because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself.' "

This could become an important stance for her. She is a dedicated, somewhat conservative Christian and her opinions could be very influential.

Whining Righties Scare Each Other and Call It News

Hardly Far Enough Off The Ground To Be Sanitary: "The Associated Press is an odd organization, and it isn't clear to me who (if anyone) runs it. But there must be someone at the AP who wants the organization to be taken seriously as a news source. If that's true, sacking Jennifer Loven would be a good first step."

This frightened little rightie is all prick; no spunk.

How to Spot a Baby Conservative

Let the blogging begin: "Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative.
At least, he did if he was one of 95 kids from the Berkeley area that social scientists have been tracking for the last 20 years.

The confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals."

...and it gets better...

"The whiny kids tended to grow up conservative, and turned into rigid young adults who hewed closely to traditional gender roles and were uncomfortable with ambiguity.

The confident kids turned out liberal and were still hanging loose, turning into bright, non-conforming adults with wide interests. The girls were still outgoing, but the young men tended to turn a little introspective."

"For conservatives whose feelings are still hurt, there is a more flattering way for them to look at the results. Even if they really did tend to be insecure complainers as kids, they might simply have recognized that the world is a scary, unfair place.

Their grown-up conclusion that the safest thing is to stick to tradition could well be the right one. As for their "rigidity," maybe that's just moral certainty.

The grown-up liberal men, on the other hand, with their introspection and recognition of complexity in the world, could be seen as self-indulgent and ineffectual."

It also has been my experience that the adventurers I recall from my early school days turned out to be liberals as adults. There are doubters, of course, but they tend to be either neo-con dick-bearing sluts or ultra-frightened righties who want to use any science or seems-like-science they can find to advance the rightie cause. For example, in another study:

"According to the authors -- social psychologists Sheldon Solomon (Skidmore College), Jeff Greenberg (University of Arizona in Tucson), and Tom Pyszczynski (University of Colorado at Colorado Springs) -- these findings suggest that arousing death-related fears can be an effective election strategy for President Bush and other leaders who emphasize the greatness of their own nation and the need to eradicate the threatening evil around us."

It's a fat fact, jack. And no matter the bleating from the righties, this dog does hunt.

Rush Limbaugh Eyes W's Manliness

RushLimbaugh.com Home: "Left Despises George W. Bush's Manliness"

The righties are now trying to say that they have larger penises than progressives. Yes, it's pathetic. But yes, it is true that they are the biggest pricks in the country.

The Police Chief Should Hang For This

These cops should be arrested: "The phrase 'police state' is often overused. It's almost a cliche. But if the Fairfax police department is serving every warrant with cops decked out in battle gear, I'm hard-pressed to come up with a more appropriate term.
And you'd be hard-pressed to argue against the fact that Fairfax's all-SWAT-all-the-time policy is the reason Culosi is dead. Had a couple of detectives served the search warrant, in the presence of a couple of troopers, he'd still be alive.
Let's also not lose sight of what precipitated this raid. Gambling. Fairfax cops sent a SWAT team after a bookie like Culosi (I'm not yet convinced he was a bit-time bookie, but let's assume) out of some paternalistic notion that the government is obligated to protect its citizens from wagering away their rent money.
Meanwhile, in 2004 alone, the Virginia lottery spent $21 million on 'advertising and marketing' aimed at persuading its citizens to gamble.
Odd form of paternalism, isn't it?"

Frightened righties - and that is their singular feature, are to be dismissed in any way possible. Insult them or, if you can, slap them silly. But always disrespect them and do whatever you can to help them to cease.

French law says that, if your daughter turns out to be real cute, then we all get to fuck her

French Bill Threatens To Slice Into Apple's Pie: "'It's only by resisting interoperability that Apple is able to keep this dominant position,' Dourgnon said. 'Once there's interoperability, it's over.'"

Such progress. Realizing that, in the era of push-up bras, botox, and pre-teen fashion spreads, ugly rug-rats can become downright appealing, they've updated their quaint medieval laws to mandate the "Right of Second Night".

The arrogance is enough to make you want to pee on their ear-buds.

Bulls Build The Best China Shops

Man Overboard: "'irrational manliness deserves to be endorsed by reason.' " says Harvey C. Mansfield, a conservative professor of government at Harvard University, a Thatcher man.

Here, pull my finger...

Cheney will fuck a spider and say he blessed a child.

Cheney can't handle the truth: 'we will be greeted as liberators' and his assertion 10 months ago that the insurgency was in its 'last throes.' He insisted that in both cases his facts were right, but that the news media had created a different perception with vivid imagery of killing.
'I think it has less to do with the statements we've made, which I think were basically accurate and reflect reality, than it does with the fact that there's a constant sort of perception, if you will, that's created because what's newsworthy is the car bomb in Baghdad,' he said. "

More bullshit comes from this jerk than almost anyone in Washington. He is the lost among the losers.

Bush and Cheney are Evil

Bush and Cheney Lie to Avoid Impeachment and Hanging: "'It is unfortunate that we are in civil war,' said Mr. Allawi, who served as prime minister after the American invasion and now leads a 25-seat secular alliance of representatives in Iraq's 275-seat National Assembly. 'We are losing each day, as an average, 50 to 60 people through the country, if not more.'
'If this is not civil war,' he said, 'then God knows what civil war is.' "

Can Americans hold their breath until the 2008 election ?

Sandra Day in "Bench Blanket Babbleyawn"

Sandra Day O'Connor Backpeddles ASAP - desires better Wikipedia entry.: "O'Connor then singled out by deed, though not by name, two Texas politicians for their verbal attacks upon the court for doing its job. Last year, criticizing federal and state court rulings that allowed Terry Schiavo's vegetative state to end in death, then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said, 'The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior.'

In a similar vein, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, himself a former justice on the Texas Supreme Court, publicly mused that political or ideological decisions by unaccountable judges might be to blame for episodes of courthouse violence. His comments followed the murders of a Georgia judge and the family of a federal judge in Illinois."

...and then - wham!...

"It takes a lot of degeneration before a country falls into dictatorship, but we should avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings."

Even a lazy conservative can see that the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.

Thursday Quotes: The Chief of the Patriotism Police: "'Any time an organization has the word 'peace' in it -- throw it out. It's just a bunch of long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking, FM-peace-types that have an agenda.' "

...and...

"I think the main reason that the left and the media want Bush to be driven by polls is because they are not manly. They've been feminized, they live inside the Beltway, and that makes them uncomfortable with Bush's manliness -- because manly men lead." "Unmanly men -- wimps, men that have been feminized -- wait for the safety of consensus, and that's what a poll is. A poll that shows us a majority of something -- a consensus -- gives you an escape hatch."

Rush and Bill O'Reilly are phone buddies. During one recent call, their mutual, furious wanking was heard over their microphones. Bill's fellow workers were not stunned; they just closed the door as usual and let the screaming vermin finish in peace.

The private American research company Parexel creates horror show

How People In Need Are Actually Treated: "'The test ward turned into hell minutes after we were injected. The men went down like dominoes.
'First they began tearing their shirts off complaining of fever, then some screamed out that their heads felt like they were going to explode.
'After that they started fainting, vomiting and writhing around in their beds.
'It was terrifying because I kept expecting it to happen to me at any moment. But I felt fine and I didn't know why.'
Six volunteers suffered catastrophic reactions to trials of the new drug, TGN1412, at Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow, North-West London.
They were the first people in the world to test the drug, being developed by the German pharmaceutical firm, TeGenero, and designed to treat chronic inflammatory conditions and leukaemia. They were paid 2,000 pound each.
Four are in a serious condition but showing signs of improvement. Two remain critical.
The full test group was made up of four British Asians, two Australians, a South African and one Englishman, Mr Wilson.
The trial began on Monday in a unit on the hospital campus run by the private American research company, Parexel. "

Another big success for American business. Loving America is getting harder and harder...

George Clooney hits gutless Dems

A furious George hits gutless Dems: "George Clooney has a message for Democratic office-holders who voted for the war in Iraq, only to claim later that they'd been misled by President Bush: 'Fuck you!'

The movie star's argument - directed at the likes of presidential wannabes Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry and John Edwards - is actually more nuanced than that. But not by much.

'The fear of being criticized can be paralyzing,' Clooney writes today on Huffingtonpost.com - pumping up the volume after banging the drum of Hollywood liberalism in his Oscar acceptance speech.

'Just look at the way so many Democrats caved in the runup to the war. In 2003, a lot of us were saying, where is the link between Saddam and Bin Laden? What does Iraq have to do with 9/11? We knew it was bullsit.

'Which is why it drives me crazy to hear all these Democrats saying, 'We were misled.' It makes me want to shout, 'Fuck you, you weren't misled. You were afraid of being called unpatriotic.''"

Clooney is absolutely right on the mark with his recent comments. I too am proud to vehemently oppose the idiocy of our endless war scenario, whether or not I am branded a traitor. Because being a traitor to what is now called Americanism is to be a patriot of the first order. And I too say "fuck you" to any and all windsock democrats who failed to fully oppose the grand and deadly folly of the Iraq War.

Censure Bush? You fucking bet!

Impale his narrow ass? You betcha!

Our Leaders Are Scumbags

Judge Trager Is A Bad Technique Used To Destroy America: "In a startling, ominous decision - ignored by most of the press around the countr - Federal District Judge David Trager, in the Eastern District of New York, has dismissed a lawsuit by a Canadian citizen, Maher Arar, who, during a stopover at Kennedy Airport on the way home to Canada after vacation, was kidnapped by CIA agents.
Arar was flown to Syria, where he was tortured for nearly a year in solitary confinement in a three-by-six-foot cell ('like a grave,' he said). He became, internationally, one of the best-known victims of the CIA's extraordinary renditions - the sending of suspected terrorists to countries known for torturing their prisoners.

Released after his ordeal, Arar has not been charged with any involvement in terrorism, or anything else, by Syria or the United States. Stigmatized by his notoriety, still traumatized, unemployed, he is back in Canada, where the Canadian Parliament had opened an extensive and expensive public inquiry into his capture and torture. The United States refuses to cooperate in any way with this investigation."

Trager should be arrested and jailed.

Senator Rick Santorum Can't Get Off The Juice

Senator Resumes Lobbyist Huddles: "After saying in January that he would end his regular meetings with lobbyists, Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.), the third-ranking GOP leader in the Senate, has continued to meet with many of the same lobbyists at the same time and on the same day of the week."

...and...

"One lobbyist called the attendees "the usual suspects," and said they were among the city's best-known lobbyists whose firms represent financial services, telecommunications, pharmaceutical, oil production and tobacco companies."

Smoke a Vicodin Senator Rick "Oil This!" Santorum, while we fit you for AT&T Special-Broadband.

When Your Feet Don't Like Your Head, Then You're Screwed

At Conservative Forum on Bush, Everybody's a Critic: "former Reagan aide Bruce Bartlett. Author of the new book 'Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy,' Bartlett called the administration 'unconscionable,' 'irresponsible,' 'vindictive' and 'inept.'"

"Sullivan was on hand to second the critique. "This is a big-government agenda," he said. "It is fueled by a new ideology, the ideology of Christian fundamentalism." The bearded pundit offered his own indictment of Bush: "complete contempt" for democratic processes, torture of detainees, ignoring habeas corpus and a "vast expansion of the federal government." The notion, he said, that the "Thatcher-Reagan legacy that many of us grew up to love and support would end this way is an astonishing paradox and a great tragedy."

"He is not a responsible human being; he is a phenomenally reckless human being," Sullivan proclaimed. "There is a level of recklessness involved that is beyond any ideology."

Colorado Governor May Be Mentally Handicapped

Denver Post Article Gives Voters Massive New Clue: "'I'll bet that you don't have Mr. Bennish balancing later in the day talking about the good things that the United States is doing in Iraq, discussing why George Bush is not similar to Adolf Hitler,' the governor said. 'I'll bet there just aren't any tapes from any student of Mr. Bennish giving that other side.' "

Some say this Governor is more than just an idiot. I say that's a stretch.

Bush Official Accidentally Speaks Truth

Threat of Wider War: "The top U.S. envoy to Iraq said Monday that the 2003 toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime had opened a 'Pandora's box' of volatile ethnic and sectarian tensions that could engulf the region in all-out war if America pulled out of the country too soon.

In remarks that were among the frankest and bleakest public assessments of the Iraq situation by a high-level American official, U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said the 'potential is there' for sectarian violence to become full-blown civil war."

That might be news to someone, somewhere.

AT&T Chief Ready To Remake Internet

This Man Will Try To Break The Internet Into Two Cash Raising Systems: "That could be a challenge for a man who said last fall that Internet portals such as Google and Internet telephone companies were going to have to pay for using the broadband piped into his customers' homes - even though subscribers already pay AT&T for that access."

This guy must be stopped.

Dear God, Give Me Ribbed Feeding Tubes

How do you spell "American Heroes" ?: "the hunger strikers are tied down to a metal restraint chair as officers 'force open their mouths and then they shove down their mouths through thick tubes in their noses nutritional supplements mixed with milk of magnesia and other ingredients. Removal of the tubes is often violent. The prisoners get nauseous, they vomit. They defecate over themselves. They urinate over themselves.' "

When you listen to a republican fascist justifying this horror it is easy to understand why war against the right is inevitable.

Most Republicans Think They Are Dumber Than Bush

Republicans Look Inward And See Nothing: "More than two-thirds of Republicans (68 percent) think they would be doing a worse job than their party's leader."

It might be true.

Then Again, Hillary May Re-Ignite The Revolution

WITH CULTURAL FORCES BEHIND HER, HILLARY CAN WIN IN '08: "Hillary's candidacy will not be Democratic so much as demographic and not nearly as political as it will be cultural. The pent-up emotions of half of America will rise to the surface just as Catholics rallied to JFK's candidacy in 1960."

So then the Righties will find some idiotic Fundamentalist Christian to whom the crackers will guarantee allegiance. Then we can have a brave new American schmuckfest.
