Thank You Very Much For Everything, I Like You !

Why Read About Botched Wars, Mass Disasters, The Truth Behind 9/11 etc

When You Can Look At Bon Jovi's Butt

That picture appeared recently when I clicked on an ad for a concert ticket website, and I thought for some reason you might want that experience as well...

Well, it looks like a candid shot, just a random glimpse at the life Mr. Bon Jovi leads. Sorta like Bush's down home style, impromptu teleconference with US soldiers in Iraq. Y'know the one where the one invited Iraqi soldier said "Good morning, Mr President, thank you for everything. Thank you very much for everything. I like you."

Apparently he is Sergeant Major Akeel Shaker Nassir, who is charge of Iraqi troop training in Tikrit.

There have currently been been 2,166 coalition troop deaths in Iraq,
1,970 Americans, 96 Britons, 13 Bulgarians, two Danes, two Dutch, two Estonians, one Hungarian, 26 Italians, one Kazakh, one Latvian, 17 Poles, one Salvadoran, three Slovaks, 11 Spaniards, two Thai and 18 Ukrainians in the war in Iraq as of October 12, 2005.

Word has it that a similar impromptu miracle is occuring right here in my own beloved Bay Area.

The powers that be at mass transit provider Bay Area Rapid Transit ( misnomer if their ever was one) have decided to experiment with an absolutely outlandish concept. BART's going to be offering 24-hour service this weekend, from the evenings of Friday October 14 through Sunday October 16.

No they aren't being exactly generous, it's only because the morons at Cal Trans decided to close all the eastbound lanes on the Bay Bridge on those nights. Why the flag waving orange vested overtime suction cups need to glom up every lane on the bridge on the weeknd is beyond my comprehension. The the fact that NYC for example has 24 hour subway service year round, only emphasizes why SF is just a sleepy little fishing village and not really "The City".

I have to get to a wedding in Oakland and back to San Francisco for work via public transit, and I hope this all works out ok. At least as good as The Bush presidency has so far, which according to a new Pew Research poll, has so impressed people, more people surveyed said his administration will regard the whole period as one of failure. In fact, half of Republicans surveyed said Bush's policies have made the deficit worse and just 12 percent say he has improved the situation. That is the same 12 percent of people who believe women were created out of spare ribs, life begins at ejaculation, and that the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are the likely cause of global warming, at least on Sundays in Dallas.

Am I rambling...

yes I am...

are you still reading?

yes you are...

but first up, let's get jiggy with yer fave 911 conspiracy theories...

One batch of factoids here comes from the always entertaining Mad Cow Prod, who've written a book called "Welcome To Terrorland" on the deeply twisted 911 ties to the Florida Aviation School Scene, the sordid ties with shady finaciers, CIA endorsed drug smugglers, terrorist pilots, numerous federal investigations and subsequent coverups...

as a bonus, a 34 minute audio excerpt from

"THE HISTORY CHANNEL - Inside the 1979 October Surprise and the Bridge to 9/11."
