presidents day .....

presidents day .....

Every year in mid-February, tens of millions of Americans take the Monday off in celebration of the presidency.

And while the average civics teacher will tell you that we do not appreciate our national political heritage nearly enough, the typical American is not only too respectful of the presidency on this day; he is far too enamored of the institution all year round.  

The president of the United States has far more power than any office in the history of humanity. It is trite even to make the comparison.  

The current president claims the right to detain, torture and kill anyone on earth and to start wars and occupations in any nation of his choice.  

He claims the right to levy taxes on anything, prohibit anything, mandate anything, spy on anyone, and demand that all jurisdictions on the planet bend to his will.  

While the laws of economics limit his actual power to alter reality, the pure destructive potential of the modern presidency is beyond unspeakable.  

Nuclear holocaust, prospectively amounting to the greatest atrocity ever, is generally within his reach.  

Our Enemy, The Presidency

Yes John

The whole world is waiting for the day when the kid masquerading as a president in Washington is forced to join the ranks of has-been...

Castro

Most news bulletins around the world blame Castro for having brought the world close to nuclear brink. This irks me no end.

The truth is that the missiles installed in Cuba were only a tit-for-tat from the Russians who were offended by the US that had installed missiles close to their border in the Balkan region. The Russians demanded that these missiles be removed and after a tense bit of negotiation the US obliged and the Russians took their missiles in Cuba away... Castro, who was being ostracised by the Yanks at the time till now had little choice but to seek help from the Russians for his country to survive under the US embargo which is still in operation some 40 years later.

Most grown-up country around the world have been dealing with Cuba in a a fairer manner...

I wish the newsreaders hanged their head in shame for spreading such fibs and disinformation from the Yanks — always ready to blame someone else for their own bad goofs.

Presently, President El little Kid Bushit is playing a similar game, hiding his carddeck behind "fighting the Iranians", thinking the Russians are weak. Putin is seeing through Bush's stupid little tricks...
