T-Boon Pickens turning clean fuels dirty

Seeing and hearing T-Boon Pickens going on about ‘his’ plan for saving America just turns my stomach. How that bloke expects (a good deal greater than half) the American population to forgive and forget his almost criminal attacks of a genuine US hero in John Kerry.

This bloke didn’t fight in any war himself, he’s never served in the US military. Although he turned 16 in May of ‘44, and was 18 in ’46, a time when the world needed rebuilding and large areas needed stabilizing, this great patriot didn’t sign up to the military, or look for a way that he could help his nation. In fact Pickens has never served his country in any capacity, he’s only ever served himself.

Still, he had the audacity to attempt to defame a true American hero by lying about his service. He financed nasty, disingenuous ads aimed at misleading the American people about John Kerry, and those actions should not be forgotten.

Those ads were part responsible for tipping public opinion away from Kerry and helped gift Bush a second term. It’s hard to imagine another presidential term that has done so much damage, as the last four years of the Bush administration. Those extra four years destroyed this nation’s world standing, plunged this nation’s economy into the worst recession, and quite possibly has been responsible for allowing irretrievable damage to be done to our planet’s ecology.

The man is a disgrace.

The ads would’ve been dirty and lowbrow had they contained the truth, but to lie about a man like John Kerry is unforgivable.

As I’m sure you all remember he was at it again less than a year ago, last November, probably around the same time he was recording his hot air ads. To get himself back in the public eye this narcissist claimed he would pay anyone a million bux if they could disprove a single one of the allegations contained in his slanderous Swift Boat ads. Not surprisingly John Kerry took Pickens up on his offer, saying that he’d donate the bux to injured veterans. But, even though Kerry categorically disproved the allegations, Pickens, as it seems is his nature, went back on his word, changed the rules of the bet, and refused to pay until John Kerry offered up all his wartime journals, home movies, and his entire military records.

Now Pickens has the gall to appeal to the American people he has cost so much, and expect that he be taken at his word, what a load of bollocks!

I loath his wind ads, for me he’s single-handedly made clean fuels dirty. So he books a multi-million dollar ad campaign, that somewhere along the line the American people will end up paying for, and unsurprisingly it attracts some attention. Next thing he’s appearing on all the usual pseudo-political shows, and I figure I’ll see what he has to say for himself, maybe he’s had an epiphany. But alas no, whenever he’s reminded of his swift boat attacks on John Kerry, he tells us that it was a ‘long’ time ago, and jokingly adds he’s 80 now and can’t remember 4 years ago. But, Pickens you were at it less than a year ago!

I don’t want someone like this anywhere near the American people‘s natural resources, he’s already filled his boots with enough of our resources and got rich off the labors of the American people, he’s stripped too many assets and destroyed too many dreams. The last thing the American people need is another self-serving, money grabbing corporate pirate, high jacking its resources. It’s time to let him know he can crawl back under the rock he came out of.

Cheers, I needed that off my chest.

What's been happening while I've been away?

Before I get into all that is not well in our world, I just had to leave you with a totally irrelevant but enjoyable pictorial reminder of that glorious day when McCain was forced to ponder that Viagra question...

Alright now can someone tell me how the fuck the repugs gained the upper ground on these three issues;

1. The Iraq war - There’s no discussion anymore about whether or not we should be in Iraq, it’s all about the fucking surge, which actually wasn’t a surge at all, it was just an increase in troop levels. I thought the prupose of the ‘surge‘ was so that the troops could come home, but there’s been no troop reduction, there are more troops in Iraq today than there were pre-surge, how’s that a success? The answer is it’s not, the only success here has been for the republican’s pr machine, they’ve done a corking job.
It’s true that Obama voted against the surge and he was right to, the reduction in violence had very little to do with any US military action on the ground, but back room diplomacy and double dealings. This is NOT an area where democrats should be losing ground, but McCain is happy to bring this up all day long. Why? Because it’s a ‘winning’ issue for him, who would’ve thought that any part of the Iraq war would be a ‘winning’ issue for the republicans that illegally drew us into that war. A total failure on behalf of the Democrat PR machine, if it can be called a machine at all.

2. Fuel costs - what the fuck? Republicans sit in congress without the lights on, refusing to go home until congress approves even greater profits for their big oil paymasters, and somehow manage to make those nasty profit grabbing oil companies look like the good guys.

Another example of the Democratic Party PR lawnmower failing. In fact that’s an understatement, they’ve failed so atrociously that McBombit feels confident enough to run ads blaming Obama and the Democratic Party leadership for the high gas prices. And the reason he feels confident enough to run the ads? -- 70% of the American public support off shore drilling.

Depressing as those stats are there’s one thing that can be drawn from them -- the American electorate have not got a fucking clue, it proves they can be ‘sold’ anything. A couple of them even bought the ‘wrong’ London bridge from us once!

3. Georgia - tell me WTF is up with that? - Saakashvilli uses all his airtime to make GOP party political broadcasts, maybe he’s positioning himself to run as McBombit’s VP! Let’s face it, he couldn’t be any worse than Romney, at least he’d offer a more reserved type of ‘bomb it and see’ conservatism.

I’m not even gonna touch on the ‘countries just don’t invade other countries in the 21st Century’, actually repeated by Bush, Rice and McBombit.

No it’s the other brand of hypocrisy I want to address: 200,000 people turn up to hear Obama make some tedious speech in Berlin, and he’s accused of being; presumptive, arrogant, too presidential etc. But, some tin-pot leader of a country most Americans never knew existed, mercilessly bombs citizens of a separatist leaning enclave in his country, which consequently draws the inevitable response from the Russians, and all of a sudden McCain’s talking as if they’ve invaded Bermuda, and starts posturing like it’s the cold war all over again, even tells us he’s sending an ‘envoy’.

So apparently, you can’t make a boring speech in front of 200,000 Europeans, but it’s a OK to threaten war with Russia! Tell me who’s being presumptive here?

Honestly it feels like a bad joke, maybe Ted Turner’s gonna make an announcement, tell us the whole thing was just a really badly conceived prank of his. Anything, please, but this can‘t really be happening, can it?
