Under My Thumb

there's a squirmy dog, who's just had her day

ok... just when I think I got one McCuckoo under my thumb, another couple of McCaws spring up...this time I'm reading the Arts and Lectures glossy and there, on one page, is Gloria Steinem, the feminist, Sarah Miller-McCune, the heir apparent to the News-Press, and Craig and Susan McCaw...Craig's the billionaire cell phone guy and the fella who made Wendy rich

 now I've heard that Craig thinks whales come from outer space or whatever, but if he can pose for the Arts and Lectures mag, why can't he finish his restaurant in Montecito, the old Peabody's has been in construction phase for THREE YEARS!! talk about dragging your heels...well at least the new wife looks normal (compared to Wendy)

also I'd like to introduce you my Mutter!

speaking of crazy, Andy Caldwell seems to be down for the count, but I'm happy to report that Wendy has found a new editorial writer for her skinny newspaper...Scott Steepleton! Scott will be writing editorials on the front page and Monday Scott blasted Lois Capps for A- supporting the Iraq war/invasion..and B- supporting the troop withdrawal..apparently Lois is responsible for all the Toyota's carrying them machine gun-toting militants in Iraq now....

Scott that's not logical at all

mission accomplished, Scott??

interestingly Reagan wanted to normalize relations with Iraq: A message from President Reagan was drafted.....
"I have become convinced of the important role Iraq can play in helping bring greater peace to the Middle East," Reagan wrote in the Dec. 8 draft.

"The United States strongly desires an end to the Iran-Iraq war. I have no illusions that the many differences between Iraq and the United States can be easily or quickly resolved," the message stated. "However, I am gratified that the dialogue between us, laboriously and patiently nurtured, has improved our understanding of each other.

"The United States stands ready to exchange ambassadors to make formal recognition of this fact whenever you decide that such a step will support the interests of your country. Until then, I want you to know that I attach great importance to continuing and improving our dialogue," the message said.

then Iraq invaded Kuwait..Kuwait wanted our help so the first George Bush Sr. sent troops in but got battle interruptus and pulled out too soon....had he finished the job, Iraq would be Kuwait now and we'd have a nice embassy there...but that didn't happen

I'm tellin' ya, the Bush guys are bad leaders..and the chickenhawks are all screaming bomb bomb bomb!!! more trillions down the drain

lost on Scott is the fact that we invaded Iraq and killed the only person who could control the violence, Saddam Hussein! ironic no? then Scott ties into his Iraq editorial the Peter Lance investigation of Capps' office for the death of Mallory Dies....

the USA invasion simply killed lots of kids and disrupted a civil war..this latest rash of violence, these guys in Toyota pickup trucks with machine guns could be stopped easily..the Iranians could get involved and we know that Iran and Iraq have fought wars before, but Iran should gobble up Iraq and stabilize the region..

America didn't liberate anybody and obviously we didn't train the Iraqi troops very well..we invaded a sovereign country for no reason..and we did a half-ass job..the Bush Doctrine is insane

if Lois loses in November that's fine with me, but if she wins, it's partly because of inane reports that Scott Steepleton writes for Wendy...Scott Steeplton is simply not credible as a judge once pointed out....

but interestingly, Scott seems to say if the Peter Lance -led investigations by the FBI don't nail Lois, then maybe the fact that she voted to invade Iraq in 2002, or was pro-withdrawal of the troops in 2010 will...

geez Scott..get realistic
