I have been busy. In addition to the racing circuit, I have been in Tehran working with President Ahmadinejad on the prisoner thing. It has turned out well - a real political victory for Iran and an embarassment for Britain.

Compare Abu Graib to to the Iran situation, or with Guatanamo Bay. Who comes out looking better? Why is it that Bush is considered a major threat to world peace, even in the United States?

It is hard to imagine there would be another nation as ignorant as the United States, but apparently Kenya is one of them. The nation is majority Christian and they, like Americans, would rather take a few vague lines of 3000-year old philosophical text as scientific fact, rather than the extensive research, study and analysis of experts.

Like Americans, sone Kenyan religious leaders are trying to get the teaching of evolution of out of schools.

Actually, I see this as a good thing. We should let as many countries as possible, starting with America, convert to theocracies, sink into scientific barbarism, so that our remaining enlightened nations can profit from their holy wars against each other.

Here is to the rise of the European Military Industrial Complex.

FBI Keeps Losing Laptops

The US Inspector General says the FBI loses 3 to 4 laptops a month and the Bureau does not know whether or not they contain classified material.

They do.

Jack Bauer, International Criminal

It has already been shown that the American "CSI" television show has polluted the minds of jurors (the trial by jury system is one of the weakest elements of American legal system and others) by giving them unrealistic expectations of what police departments should be capable.

Now it appears that the television series "24" is having the same corrupting influence on American interrogators, giving them the notion that anything goes when it comes to "protecting" Americans.

Of course, no one seems to be able to define what "protecting Americans" means, just like the US does not have definition of "success" and "failure" in Iraq.

BOSTON - A gang of girls attacked a woman at discount store, hitting and kicking her and tearing off her clothes, said police, who arrested a 10-year-old girl accused of being involved.

The girl, who was not identified, was charged with assault and battery for kicking the 22-year-old woman in the head and stomach on Sunday, Officer Eddy Chrispin said.

The three other girls were not arrested, but police said they would seek criminal complaints against them. Their names and ages were not released.

The woman apparently had bumped into the 10-year-old girl in an aisle at a Target store and refused to apologize, Chrispin said.

Witnesses told police the four girls then knocked the customer to the floor "where she was being hit, her hair was being ripped out, and her pants were taken off," he said.

The victim was treated at a hospital.

American's try to protect their children from sex and the human body, but violence is instilled in them at an earliy age. Perhaps Darwin had it wrong. Maybe evolution revolves around "Survival of those most willing to kill all other opposition."

When it is humanly possble to make a prophecy come true, people will make prophecies come true.

Jesus is Puerto Rican

If you read the history of Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda, you read the history of a man going insane. Like so many powerful preachers, he has become drunk on power, living an extravagent lifestyle on the backs of ignorant peasants, as so many Christians are.

First he was just a preacher, then the Apostle Paul (who was a stooge of the Roman government), then he was the Anti-Christ. No good will come of this guy. We will be lucky if all of his followers kill themselves in a mass suicide.

On the other hand, it is pathetic that the American media seems to be whimpering that some 3000 US soldiers have died in battle. When was that too many to die in a war? Think of the ancient battles, when it was Men on foot with sword and shield and 30,000 might die in a single battle! Those were the days.

As in my comment below, the American Civil War saw 620,000 dead. Iraq's Civil War should have no less. How many Iraqi's have died? Numbers are hard to come by.

In December 2006, Bush said there were only 30,000 civilian deaths. What about non-civilians? One group estimates there have been 655,000 deaths.

Bush 10 to 1 not so good.

Over 218 to 1, that is a pretty good return on an investment.

I have not commented in a while like I wanted to and neglected to respond to some comments on previous post. Alas, it has been a busy month. We are working out the kinks with my Formula One team and all of the planning we are trying to do around the race schedule. And I do not like the color scheme for my blog comments.

I would really like to see some do an informal psychiatric evaluation of "Dubya" based on his public appearances. What sort of delusion is George Bush suffering? Is it megalomania? Is it some form of paranoia?

He says the US cannot afford to fail in Iraq, but has anyone defined how they are measuring success and failure. Is success defined as miraculously getting the Sunnis and Shi'ites to love each other and stop killing each other? Or is it getting one or the other to wipe the other out completely so they are no longer a problem? Does success mean creating an occupation force in Iraq that will keep profits going for the US military industrial complex?

And how will a mere 20,000 troops help, especially if it supposed to be a "short" surge. What pressure is on the Iraqi government to get their act together.

What happened to the good old days. When Roosevelt created Panama in a hotel room in New York city, they had it all worked out. The first president of Panama was a US citizen. That is how you create a friendly government!

God is always on the side of the big battalions.

Voltaire

You have got to admire George W. Bush. He really believes in the Rule of Law and he has mastered the art of using it. If something he wants to do is illegal, or not legal, he just changes the law and makes it legal.

He did it with torture. Torture is globally reviled, but Bush made it legal for the U.S. to use certain measure to acquire information that any civilized nation would call torture.

Now, he has interpreted a new postal bill to mean that the government can search anyone's mail anytime. He says the government has always had that power. Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, say that is wrong and was not the intent of the law.

Yes, Bush is making his place in history. He will be rigt next to Abraham Lincoln as the worst presidents in U.S. history
