Like the age old story of everything that waxes and wanes...so too the Tea Party has joined the ranks of all that have gone before, that have fallen from Grace. Am I being too Dramatic?...Maybe... The bottom line is that there is a lot of Buyer's Remorse going on here. The question on everyone's lips is...Why? Why has the party fallen from the good Graces of all who have left...and in this case that is a considerable amount...and increasing.
The answer is as palin...er... plain as Day...One can see Russia from her house...One wasn't a witch...One is Batshit crazy...one sees Headless Corpses...one is intent on Dismantling the Unions and he refuses to hear anything about Collective Bargaining... and that is just the A List...there are many more... All of them are intent on giving Bigger and Bigger breaks to the Super Wealthy Two percent and the Multi Billion Dollar Corporations while the real Tea Party Faithful get swept away in stupid laws that are meant to squeeze the last droplet of Blood from them and leave them in the throws of poverty for Generations to come... keeping them slaves to the system of the Rich getting Richer while the Middle Class is systematically eliminated.
The Tea Party faithful got what they wished for... they won the seats they wanted in the last election and they got the promises made to them. They did not realize those same promises would also make them feel the bitter slice...or should I say stab... of dismay and treachery that they thought would have visited only the "other side"...the Democrats and their faithful.
There are now thousands of ex Tea Partiers being foreclosed on...being let go from Companies who are taking Jobs to foreign Countries, their Social programs, Education programs and everything they depend on to live a decent life are being taken away in Draconian "Cuts" that minutely reduce the Deficit...all because the Republicans are sabotaging everything the President is doing to try to bring us out of this recession. The Frum Forum gives a good account of the falling numbers, and I am sure there is more to come soon...as their Dwindling numbers at the Tea Party Rally on Thursday March 31st in Washington showed.

Radiation...Deaths New Fancy...
The average dosage of Radiation we humans are exposed to each year is about 620 millirems or mrems. This is an average accumulation from ordinary daily sources. Many of us have additional exposure outside of the ordinary, including x-rays of all types, Cat scans, regular Airplane flights or exceptionally long flights of hours or more, in the case of Flight personnel.
This is a link to an interactive Radioactivity chart... here ... you can use it to average your own Radiation exposure.
I start this article with the above information so you will have an idea of where we are with the catastrophe in Japan and the resulting fallout. This one is of course following my recent article on the Disaster and the possibilities which we can expect to see in the future, from a multitude of possible sources, be it Earthquakes or Terrorism or just plain accidental stupidity...as happened with the Three Mile Island's disaster years ago.
I highlighted the arrival of Radiated particles on the West Coast last week, fully expecting the Radiation to spread to other parts of the US...it is happening right now, in various places around the Country...
This is from CNN... "Sampling from a monitor in Colorado -- part of a national network of stations on the lookout for radioactivity -- detected miniscule amounts of iodine-131, a radioactive form of iodine, the state's public health and environmental department said Wednesday in a press release. On the same day in Portland, Oregon, tiny quantities of iodine-131 were also detected by an Environmental Protection Agency air monitor, Oregon public health officials said.
Washington and California previously reported low levels of radioactive isotopes that likely came from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which has been releasing radioactive particles into the air since its cooling and other systems were damaged by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and massive tsunami on March 11. " Read full story here...
This is from Mercury News..." RENO, Nev.—Minuscule amounts of radiation from Japan's damaged nuclear plant have reached Las Vegas, but scientists say it poses no health risk.

This is from Mercury News..." RENO, Nev.—Minuscule amounts of radiation from Japan's damaged nuclear plant have reached Las Vegas, but scientists say it poses no health risk.
Ted Hartwell of the Desert Research Institute's Community Environmental Monitoring Program says extremely small amounts of the radioactive isotopes iodine-131 and zenon-133 had reached a Las Vegas monitoring station this week." Read the full story here...
Many people are unaware of why Radiation showing up elsewhere is important but as this article shows, the result could be foods and agriculture that become contaminated and poisonous to Humans, it also brings an unwanted financial impact... here
There is a really horrible impact that is yet unrealized by the public, to the Ocean and the wildlife living within, unfortunately we will definitely hear about this and the impact it has on the food chain quite soon I think. This from MSNBC... "TEPCO said radiation had been found in the waters of the Pacific nearby, perhaps not surprising given crews have been dousing the reactors with seawater ever since the accident. Radioactive iodine in the sea samples was 126.7 times the allowed limit, while cesium was 24.8 times over, Kyodo news agency said. That still posed no immediate danger, TEPCO said." full story here.
Another concern I have is the fact that the contamination will spread as the medium is after all water, and unlike a lake, it is a moving environment, through which the radiated particles will be carried to the many corners of the Earth, having a detrimental impact on all Ocean inhabitants and eventually our food chain.
Unfortunately this is still the beginning of the Catastrophe and there will be a lot more bad news...if there is ever any good news to come from this. This is a map of the Radiation in Japan... here...and this will change and get worse as we go along.

911 Was Child's Play??
Traces of Radiation too small to kill an Ant was detected yesterday, Thursday March 17th, at a California Monitoring station. It is said to have come from the damaged Nuclear Reactors in Japan. While the low level Radiation itself is of little concern, I can't help but take a more cautious view of the facts. It took less than five days for the Radioactive material to be carried on the winds, from its source to the shores of the West Coast.
The worst Nuclear accident in history thus far is of course Chernobyl. The interesting thing in that incident, worth observation is the fact that there was a large enough explosion to send microscopic Radioactive material so high into the upper atmosphere that it was able to be spread over a wide area by the fierce winds... and kill between 4000 and up to an estimated one million people. I mention this because even without reaching the upper atmosphere the Japanese Reactor material was still able to reach the American West Coast in a minimum amount of days... which makes me wonder...
What if Osama Bin Laden or his Henchmen decided to fill with Radioactive material and charter... an Airplane from any Foreign Country...only to Detonate it off the Coast of California...at the correct Altitude to be spread most effectively by those vibrant winds that blow from the West Coast all the way across America to the East Coast? Spreading the deadly particles all across America. That would make 911 look like Child's play.
September 11 was revealed by the 911 Commission to actually be Plan B... Plan A was to fly an Airplane into the Indian Point Nuclear Facility in Upstate New York. It was revealed that the only reason the plan was abandoned is because the Terrorists thought the American Government at the time was intelligent enough to have Surface to Air missiles installed around the facility to protect it...talk about overkill...or over estimating the dedication a Government would have for its people...So, they went with Plan B and down came the Towers.
An exploding Airplane full of Radioactive Material...over California... is a really destructive medium that could actually affect and kill Millions of people from one corner of America clear across to another...think about it...and then kiss your kids...and if you live on the West Coast...don't drink the Tap Water... don't let your kids drink it...and don't let the radioactive rain wet you...

Republicans, Guns, Fear Mongering, Gun Target Rhetoric, The Gullible. Now Put Them All Together.
One Crazed Gunman...many shot, many wounded...many Dead...
Sarah Palin's Camp is Frantically Back-peddling...The Huff reports... Shortly after news broke that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) had been shot at a congressional event in her district, observers began noting that she had, during the campaign,literally been Sarah Palin's target...to which they reply for those who are really gullible...
"We never ever, ever intended it to be gun sights," she said in an interview with talk radio host Tammy Bruce Saturday. "It was simply crosshairs like you'd see on maps." Bruce suggested that they could, in fact, be seen as "surveyor's symbols." Mansour added that "it never occurred to us that anybody would consider it violent" and called any attempts to politicize the Arizona tragedy "repulsive."
Yeah right..."Surveyor's Symbols"....What the Fuck, they are no "Surveyors"....
They say..." It never occurred to us"...who is stupid enough to believe that? That is the only intelligent reason for using that Tactic...
Who can forget Sarah's famous "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: 'Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD!' ??
Others who are more cautious in their opinions than I, Howard Fineman in this instance writes...Now comes Tucson. The deaths there are not about politics, ideology or party. From what we know, Jared Loughman's acts were those of a madman divorced from reality, let alone from public debate.
Many who have since commented have come under attacks including Sheriff Clarence Dupnik who said this..."When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government," said Dupnik at a press conference Saturday. "The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfortunately, Arizona I think has become sort of the capital. We have become the mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
These "attacks" and criticisms come from the usual suspects... one even calling for his resignation. Apparently it's business as usual for this group of Haters...but then, we have not seen them do much in the past, to dispel any suspicions of fear-mongering by them...in fact quite the contrary.
I do not expect many surprises from here on out...but time will tell.
My sincerest sympathies to the victims and their families, I am truly sorry that this has happened, but please take Heart, this Universe has many Good things in store for us in this life...and the next...so be strong and you will endure. We did not come to this World with anything...neither will we leave with anything...anything Material that is...Read my Book, you will understand.

2010- Fox's Worst Year Of Shock and Awe on America
The year 2010 has been a Political Roller Coaster ride for America and indeed the Globe. We have many things to be thankful for but we can not say goodbye to the past year without keeping with the Name and Purpose of this Blog... and Book of the same name... and looking back, at the Shock and Awe we faced and leave behind...hopefully.
One cannot help but reflect on the single Entity in the Media Industry that has been the source or outlet for most of the Lies, Deceptions and Fear Mongering that was seen in 2010... Fox News.
Many of us in the Tri-State remembered when Fox and Parent Company News Corp. held us Hostage to their demands for more money to view their programs, by demanding our Cable Carriers pay them more money.
One does not have to look far to find more of their Shenanigans, and this wonderful offering by Media Matters in littered with details.
We have many shameful whoppers given to us by Fox's own, Glenn Beck.
Another bringer of lies and Deception was none other than Fox's new Poster Child... Sarah Palin.
We cannot forget the Muslim scare Fox tried to spin on us, even though one of their Large Shareholders is a Muslim Prince!
It is no secret that Fox is not "Fair and Balanced" as they say and are squarely set on the Republican Party's scheme of Sabotaging the Country with the hope of getting the GOP back into the White House in 2012.
It was no surprise when a renowned University released their study that clearly showed that the Audience of Fox programming is clearly "Dumbed Down" and have little awareness as to what is Fact from Fiction, largely because of what Half Truths and sometimes blatant lies they are fed by Fox.
With the New Year upon us, is it too much to ask, for Fox to be the Leader of the News industry by Furnishing us with Truthful Reporting and having some Journalistic Pride and indeed... Prejudice of the Highest order in carrying out these duties, by ensuring that they report the Truth without twisting it to suit their warped sense of Reality?
We shall see... May you all have a Happy New Year.

Those Evil Republicans...and some Democrats...
"Who is going to hold these people's feet to the fire?" asks Fox News' Shepherd Smith? He was referring to the Senators who did not vote to give Financial Relief to the many men and women who risked their lives on 911 and went in to save fellow Americans. This is now a National Shame, that the measure was not approved ...
I actually agree with you Mr. Smith...
Jon Stewart said it like this...
The same question can be asked about the Dream Act and the failure of the Senate to pass this measure, and once and for all bring an end to the Torture these millions of innocent children are subjected to at the hands of some hateful people who prefer to watch these poor children suffer for no fault of their own, than to end the shameful cry of this being another Amnesty in disguise. I ask, If it is...What would Jesus do?
Mr. Smith must surely be rolling in his bed unable to sleep...as I am sure is Chris Wallace, two of the Fox Commentators who have been showing some hints of rationale and indeed conscience... something I saw briefly in the coverage given by of all people on Fox...Giraldo, during the Katrina Debacle.
Is the Republicans' plan Sabotage?
Another dicey issue getting the cold shoulder is the START Treaty and the shabby way these Senators are trying to derail it. It has been Eight Months since the Treaty has been finished, giving everyone ample time to address it. Are they willing to leave the Country and indeed the World on less stable ground by not Passing the Treaty, simply to make this President Obama's Waterloo? The answer appears to be Yes...
One wonders how far they will go to deny proper Health Care to the American People, as they adamantly proclaim their intention to repeal the Obama Health Care that was recently passed. It appears these Republicans are not interested in helping or protecting the American people...but rather only wish to take care of their Corporate and Foreign interests...how Shameful.
Update...thanks to my well informed friend The Beekeeper's Apprentice, I have to add this piece of bad news to this article...
Apparently these Republicans thought that Child Marriages and the resultant torture and hardships they will endure, are a good thing and should be encouraged, hence the failure of a Bill S. 987 (The International Protecting Girls by Preventing Child Marriage Act), designed to put a stop to this very practice...see them for who they really are... by their Evil Deeds...

CLASS WARFARE, SLAVES TO THE WEALTHY, BY GEORGE CARLIN
Well, everyone has now seen how badly this "Bush Tax Cuts" debate has gone so far...there was no debate. The Republicans said ...massage my shoulder will ya? The Democrats are now the masseur, massaging the Elephant's shoulder, putting lotion on his feet...and kissing where the sun don't shine... cleaning up their shit, adding at least 700 Billion dollars more to the deficit... This shit certainly leaves a bad taste in our mouths. That is some shit...
My head is spinning, I am gravely hurt by the President's speech on Monday December 6th, where he seems to have bowed down to his aggressor who wants the poor in this country to become slaves to the wealthy, to have no dignity and pride in themselves or their families...their Parents...Their Spouses...Their children. I feel like I am in the days of slavery all over again...I feel the pain and anguish they...the Slaves must have felt...stripped of every shred of self worth, pride and indeed Human dignity and decency, as if "We the people" are not worth it, and no one gives a damn.
Certainly I wonder sometimes if our Leaders don't give a damn, because it appears they are not willing to fight for us. We did not elect leaders to go there and surrender for us, If we wanted to surrender, or be defeated, we would have sent someone who we knew was an idiot or a coward...we didn't. We sent educated people, who we think are capable of getting the job done, who are willing to fight, because when the fighting is done, we would be assured that what we get would have been the best we could get...But right now, the Democrats are not fighting, they are just massaging the Elephant's shoulders, following their orders, and being a Disappointment to the American People...the 85% of us who did not vote in November, for the Republicans.
Maybe I am wrong, or misinformed...maybe there was a fight that took place and "We the People" just did not see it, did not know it, because it was behind closed doors, against very powerful entities, Foreign and Domestic. I have often said the President is privy to more information than I am...so maybe he knows what he is doing more than I know what he is doing. Maybe he saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and I am just slogging through the darkness looking for a helping hand out of poverty.
I am anything but speechless, but there is a traffic jam...a bottleneck in my throat, because there are too many words trying to come out at the same time...it's choking me...so I will let the Late and always Great Mr. George Carlin do my talking for me...because I am really hurting by the Democrat's surrender without a fight...Some say The President paid the RANSOM...I agree with that, I understand the hard road...but it still sticks in my craw...
Stephen Colbert says he can't wait for the Taxes to stay the same so he can create all those jobs...Stephen got it right...no one in the Wealthy Country Clubs will be creating jobs...maybe we can give away Social Security while we are at it...I just had to add Stephen's video as well. Let me clarify, I Blame the Republicans for Blackmailing us, I do not blame the President for making the best deal he thinks we can try to get, rather than getting nothing at all...
I think upon further reflection, I will support the President...my President...because he can do for me what I cannot do for myself...secure a better future for my children. The old people have a saying...Stoop to Conquer... so I will Stoop with my President...so we will get stronger and rise higher later.

I am anything but speechless, but there is a traffic jam...a bottleneck in my throat, because there are too many words trying to come out at the same time...it's choking me...so I will let the Late and always Great Mr. George Carlin do my talking for me...because I am really hurting by the Democrat's surrender without a fight...Some say The President paid the RANSOM...I agree with that, I understand the hard road...but it still sticks in my craw...
Stephen Colbert says he can't wait for the Taxes to stay the same so he can create all those jobs...Stephen got it right...no one in the Wealthy Country Clubs will be creating jobs...maybe we can give away Social Security while we are at it...I just had to add Stephen's video as well. Let me clarify, I Blame the Republicans for Blackmailing us, I do not blame the President for making the best deal he thinks we can try to get, rather than getting nothing at all...
I think upon further reflection, I will support the President...my President...because he can do for me what I cannot do for myself...secure a better future for my children. The old people have a saying...Stoop to Conquer... so I will Stoop with my President...so we will get stronger and rise higher later.
