Big Bubba Is Certainly Not Surprised
It has been obvious for quite a long time that William Jefferson Clinton's honor and integrity were totally lacking. Most pseudo intellectual demoracists believe that those two qualities are not necessary due to the superiority of their knowledge. They also tend to believe that others are stupid enough to believe their stunning whoppers like implying that the current administration is the only one that ever borrowed foreign funds. I know that ol' William Jefferson not only personally accepted foreign funds (political donations) his administration did their share of borrowing foreign funds.
Clinton launches withering attack on Bush on Iraq, Katrina, budget
Sun Sep 18, 4:03 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton sharply criticised George W. Bush for the Iraq War and the handling of Hurricane Katrina, and voiced alarm at the swelling US budget deficit.
Breaking with tradition under which US presidents mute criticisms of their successors, Clinton said the Bush administration had decided to invade Iraq "virtually alone and before UN inspections were completed, with no real urgency, no evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction."

Here Lies Bi-Partisanship. R.I.P.
What should have been obvious to Republicans (Democratic solidarity against Clinton's impeachment) the end of bi-partisanship, is now becoming more and more obvious to everyone. America is separating into two camps, each moving towards the extremes.
Liberals, enjoy your gains while you still can. The backlash is building. And you are daily adding fuel.
And no, it isn't the apocalypse. Only to radical progressives, it'll seem like G_ds wrath against Sodom & Gomorrah.
Bob Dylan (Driftin' too far from shore, 1986)
I didn't know that you'd be leavin'
Or who you thought you were talkin' to.
I figure maybe we're even
Or maybe I'm one up on you.
I send you all my money
Just like I did before.
I tried to reach you honey,
But you're driftin' too far from shore.
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
I ain't gonna get lost in this current,
I don't like playing cat and mouse.
No gentleman likes making love to a servant.
Especially when he's in his father's house.
I never could guess your weight, baby,
Never needed to call you my whore.
I always thought you were straight, baby,
But you're driftin' too far from shore.
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Well these times and these tunnels are haunted,
The bottom of the barrel is too.
I waited years sometimes for what I wanted.
Everybody can't be as lucky as you.
Never no more do I wonder,
Why you don't never play with me any more.
At any moment you could go under,
'Cause you're driftin' too far from shore.
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
Driftin' too far from shore
You and me we had completeness,
I give you all of what I could provide
We weren't on the wrong side, sweetness,
We were the wrong side.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.
You can't walk the streets in a war.
I can finish this alone, honey,
You're driftin' too far from shore.

Hilary will be President and my dog D. Pugs Pugsley will be her Vice President.
I hereby make the following Salvadore Dali painting dedications.
Dali Gallery
To Samwich - Soft Watches
To BB - I dedicate two, Triangular Hour and Sugar Sphinx
To mr. ducky - Phantom Cart
To myself - Atavistic Vestiges after the Rain
Anyone feeling these dedications ill-suited should lodge their complaints with the originator.

Mr. Ducky, never mind Iraqi thievery. Watch the magic Louisiana politicians can make unsupervised.
mr ducky,
Perhaps one day you will approach Dali's "Moment of Transition"? But the bile inherent in the pallet
coloring still remains. Youthful beauty appears to follow your cart, but as it has no motive power and so I'm afraid it is destined to remain rather short of it's goal indefinetly. You may have left the rocks behind, as you had the entertwined gold and silver previously but it would appear you've turned to a form of stone as well.

Question for art experts...
Which do you prefer, painters of the modern school of realism and their depictions of souls (as represented by the likes of Alice Neel or Brian Morrison) or modern-old school painters of souls like Dali and Goya? Or Renaissance old school painters of souls like Titian?
as usual, you seem to abhorr the natural in favor of the aer. Where's the life in that? But perhaps I pre-judge. Let me do a little more research and find some examples. But Pollack, please, there is so little order in his paintings that no unified or even reasonable coherent visions of the divine can be distinguished. And in such an environment only the chaos of nature can reign. You reduce man to his personal emotion, devoid of reason. And only in such an environment could your kind rule. You deny half your existance, for creating order and reason is the function of half your brain, that half that allows you to cope with and connect the earthly with the divine and create ANY good, let alone a fusion of the intuitive with reason. So who's the Nietzschean now?

Reason comes to man externally, through the amygdala (Rhawn Joseph, "Limbic Language") due to his "disconnection" from the instinctual (where his once keen sense of smell once resided and ruled - Frontal Cortex). (Freud "Letters to Wilhelm Fleiss")
Man became disconnected from his controlling instincts (sex and food) rooted in nature when he stood upright (permanently) for the first time. His head rose into the air the chemical phermones that once guided his actions were "mostly" lost.(Freud, ibid) But his ability to form sensations like "disgust" remained linked to through "taste" through septal nucleic connections (Joseph, Rhawn, ibid). Hence a natural and necessary discernment for concepts of Good & Evil exists.... for that which provides "health" and that which impairs "health" and leads to "death" are instinctually rooted in smell and taste.
Necessity (need for food and sex - Da Vincian "Vitruvian Man" centers of square and circle) created reason and its' overlay "language" and "memory" upon what was once "instinctual" to cope with the original instinctual demands.
Memory was born from the repression of instincts, originally through fear of external force applied by other men, and later through self-generated and implanted "guilt". (Nietzsche, "Genealogy of Morals")
As Voltaire once remarked to Rousseau in a letter, "Your description of man in his natural state makes me long to crawl upon all fours again" thus beginning the antagonism between Rousseau and the Encylcopeadists. For Voltaire shared your belief that man in "society" is his more natural state.
I prefer to fuse the two, for both are natural states, but you seem to adhere to Voltaire's vision.
Of course, this is an explanation meant for the ears of an earth-bound creature unlike yourself. There are also more "Divine" explanations that adequately cover the same ground and are much more amenable to pure reason and logic and their more aery/ and ethereal qualities. But to believe them, one would have to be something more than an atheist/nihilist. Perhaps Nietzsche is your prophet, afterall?

perhaps the pure stinky cheese of reason is not as stinky as he imagines. Otherwise, explain the usefullness of science and technology. Or is all that pure "Vanitas"? You progress only by leaps and bounds, but the relatively slow moving babysteps and progress of pure reason, causally linked (even if a delusion) are denied by you. Airplanes still fly, don't they? Even by remote control and un-manned? Or are natural instincts required to keep an object such as you brain, suspended up in the air?

My pleasure samwich. Use it in good health.

Either that, or they'll arrest and punish you. It ain't exactly Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience".
