The Next Movie at Drinking Liberally, Oakland is all about Political Action….well…it is a movie…

April 29, 2007


I posted about it right after I saw it and still consider it to be worth a look and capable of provoking some useful discussion about what the duties of a citizen are in a Fascist state such as we find ourselves living in. It had it’s detractors, notably the guy who reviews for the New Yorker, he frankly had no clue that he was living in republic that was rapidly spiraling into crisis, malcontent also weighed in with his version of ‘The Truth’ about 9/11. The Washowski Brothers definitely took this one a lot further than I thought they would in terms of calling an out of control cabal of NeoCon sockpuppets acting at the behest of The Corporate Slave State what they are, that is:

Fascists intent on ending the freedoms we Americans still enjoy.

Think I’m exaggerating. Think again, and again, and again. The time is now for you to stand up and tell the illegal, illegitimate government of the United States: ‘Hell no, I’m not gonna put up with that or that or any of you who consider the soldiers of our overstressed military a usefully disposable means of lining the pockets of your corrupt crony capitalist scum who live and work in the Forges of Hell.

This movie covers many of the issues we find ourselves discussing at D/L and I’m sure it will get you pumped up about the upcoming battle for the soul of our democracy. The outcome of that battle clearly depends on what you and I do. Which means we, you and I, working together will determine whether future Americans live in freedom or as slaves…

…on their knees to the likes of Cheney and Bush.

Here’s the trailer for ‘V’ to whet your appetite……not too worry the movie is a lot more political than the trailer. I’ll be posting more clips as we get closer to show time which is: Sunday, May 6th at 6:00pm.

As malcontent and the mighty tekstone would tell ya, ‘There are no coincidences’.

None…

I hope to see you there and let’s get together after and talk about our hopes and goals for the coming year….This will be the year of Impeachment, yeah ya heard it here first, and YearlyKos 2007 not to mention the Dem presidential primaries and gearing up to run 10-12 Republican pusbags out of the Senate. Whereupon, Harry Reid can strip Joe LiarMann of his committee chairmanships, starting with HomeLand Security, give him a broom and dustpan. The only tools I’d be willing to bet he could use.

You and your friends are invited to come down, see the movie, and have beer or two. Luka’s just started carrying Brigand Belgian Ale which at 9% should give Racer 5 got’s some competition now!

Laura Bush

April 25, 2007

wants us all to know that SHE AND HER MONKEY-HUSBAND are the ones that are suffering the most over this whole Iraq/war thingy.

No, really.

See for yourself: http://americablog.blogspot.com/2007/04/laura-bush-wants-you-to-know-that-when.html

It must suck to be them.  We should maybe cut them some slack in light of their superlative measure of suffering…?  Maybe George is covering-up his suffering with attempts at comedy or perhaps by puffing his chest out and ‘keeping his chin up’. 

Either way, he is doing a good job of concealing his immense personal suffering.

Admirable.  What a rock of stability and determination.  A true example to us all.


We are now at Day 26 of the Hostage Crisis.

April 23, 2007

No one seems to know how it will end. Indeed many Americans are unaware of the deepening crisis involving the over 140,000 American hostages being held in Iraq. The amazing thing about it all is that this large number of Americans, all armed to the teeth and able to whip their weight in liberals several times daily, are being held hostage by one man President George W. Bush. Rather I should say they are being held hostage to Mr. Bush’s vanity and ego.

Folks who should know have stated unequivocally that ‘The war is lost…’. Let the ReichWing bleat all it wants about ‘supporting the troops’ while they fail to fund Walter Reed Hospital to the extent that the roof don’t leak. Let them wander in their fantasy land of ultimate victory. The Iraqi government which the war pimps of the ReThug Party were, it seems like just yesterday, extolling for their free and open elections know better. They have taken the first steps to end the crisis by exercising their ‘sovereignty’. But as we know there is only One True King and he is determined to continue the hostage crisis.

My way or the highway is his agenda. You see he knows that ‘success is just around the corner’. ‘They will stand up so we can stand down…’

And most important of all ‘The Surge is Working…’

Yep, Mr. Bush is convinced that holding 140,000 160,000 Americans hostage in Iraq until hell freezes over is the sure path to victory. After all….

‘The Surge is Working….’

‘The Surge is Working….

‘Dammit, THE SURGE IS WORKING!’

Yep, and Anna Nicole Smith is taking a nap in my bedroom.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Why not call your State Senator?

Why not call your Federal Representatives?

Why not call your neighbors and….

Tell them all that the the crazed psychotic mass murderer George W. Bush….

Needs to go!

Day 26, and no end in sight.


Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Baby Boy Bush is a bouncin’….bouncin’…………bouncin’……….

Mr. David Broder must be so proud. ‘Prolly like to split his pants with pride.

If there’s a dumber assclown on this planet than Bush it would have to be Broder.

If only that were so………


No pictures in this post…they’d make ya vomit.

April 19, 2007

And there’s not much writing here either. Just one link to an article you should read. Who the ‘you’ is in that sentence is the only thing I will comment on. I spend a certain fraction of my time talking with ‘folks’ of the feminine gender. Many in the 25 to 35 age group, mostly in social settings. What can I say but that I always enjoy these conversations.

But….

When I inquire about these younger women’s interest in politics the vast majority react as if I’d just taken a shit on the floor in front of them. Hey, my momma taught me that if ya don’t ask ya do not find out.

So…

Here’s the link to the story I’d like any such ‘folks’ who drop by here to read and then reflect on this statement, admittedly made by a man, which was uttered over 2500 years ago.

‘Just because you aren’t interested in politics doesn’t mean that politics isn’t interested in you.’
—–Pericles, Athenian Tyrant

Personally, I think the Religious Theocrats have stepped in it. But it all depends on the over 50% of the population whose most basic bodily process is now subject to state control.

I’ll continue to ask that question.

I wonder what my answers will be now.


Scariest thing I’ve seen in quite some time. Our President, Dear Leader….Liar. Damned Liar.

April 19, 2007

See his lips move. The man is an effortless liar most probably because he’s spent his whole life doing just that. Lying to his family, the Air Force, his business partners….

…and now to the  entire nation. I don’t believe I’ve heard him utter a truthful word in the last six years.
