   Good Night, Irene! By Ernest Stewart
Good night Irene Good night Irene I'll see you in my dreams Irene Good Night ~~~ Lead Belly "NATO's top commanders may have acted under color of international law, but they are not exempt from international law. If members of the Gadhafi Regime are to be held accountable, NATO's top commanders must also be held accountable through the International Criminal Court for all civilian deaths resulting from bombing. Otherwise, we will have witnessed the triumph of a new international gangsterism." ~~~ Dennis Kucinich Run to the hills You got to pay your dues The only good thing to come out of Irene is she was, for the most part, not much more than a tropical storm. What if a category 5 would've slammed into lower Manhattan? NYC would have been unlivable for months, if not years. With global warning, it's just a matter of time before that happens, but Rethuglican frontrunners Perry and Romney deny that man-made global warming is the culprit. They say it's just the Earth, and the Earth's climate varies. Yes, it does; but up until now, it took tens of thousands of years to go from one climate to another -- not the two hundred years that we've had in the machine age, where we went from a beginning ice age into the hottest years on record. Perry thinks it's all god's doing, as the Rethuglican mantra says god's doing it to get even with all the faggots and liberals! Except Michele Bachmann, who says the earthquake and Irene were acts of God to get politicians' attention to the debt and deficit problem. Romney, who used to believe in global warming, now doesn't know, because the Rethuglicans have convinced their base that the people who are causing it, viz., big Coal, big Gas and the corpo-rats in general, aren't the ones causing it. It's either the great cosmic space muffin, or Mother Earth who are the culprits, if global warming even exists. Meanwhile, the corpo-rats are paying our politicians to be deniers, lest they lose a few trillion dollars extra and have to clean up their disasters! So, for the tradition 30 pieces of silver, Perry, Romney, and the rest are willing to sell out their souls and our environment and lie their asses off! Take a look at this year's climate disasters -- just in the United States alone -- and see if you can recall any other year like this one? The massive flooding, now going on throughout New England, is just like the floods that wiped out the Midwest this spring. Not only wiping out towns, but vast areas of farm land, making for starvation situations throughout America come harvest time. You'll recall that a great chunk of the Southwest burned to the ground. Tornadoes that destroyed great swaths of the South. Droughts throughout the South and West that had Governor Perry holding an official state prayer meeting, asking his god to bring rain. I guess his god doesn't like Governor Perry very much, huh? Yes, America, you can pin all this on Yahweh, the Bronze Age god of wandering, barbarian, syphilitic sheepherders. Or you can put the blame where it belongs -- on the Corpo-rats and us. With Yahweh, you can blame it all on god's will, or you can face reality and put the blame where it belongs, and then do something about it to keep it from getting worse. If we do nothing, then Mother Earth will soon rid herself of us; and it won't be very pretty -- and praying to ancient mythologies won't do any good! Last year was the hottest year on record, and this year is looking to be worse! What will next year be like? I'm guessing being a climate denier in this day and age must be a little like being a Christian Scientist with appendicitis? Finally, for all of you waiting for the power to come back on, take a lesson from this towards a day when the grid goes down, and doesn't come back up! What will you do then? You better get prepared! Barry's gone out of his way to piss off the left -- not caring or considering the backlash he's created, thinking we must vote for him, because otherwise we'll get a Perry or Bachmann. I, of course, would ask Obamahood what exactly's the difference between the Rethuglicans and the Demoncrats? I can't see any real difference between them, can you? Instead of our savior, Barry, you've turned out to be worse than Dubya ever thought about being -- so if Willard is elected, perhaps things would be slightly better that they are now? Zeus only knows what Barry would do as a lame duck for four years with all the restraints off of him! There are, of course, the Greens, and many other parties; but no matter who they pick, they'll never have a chance because of how the media is owned and operated for the elites' benefit, and not for our own! The other option is what most everybody does when they can no longer choose the lesser of two evils, they simply sit it out, which the majority of Americans do. That's right, more Americans choose not to vote than those who choose to vote. I can't say I blame them, either! I have a simple solution for this, i.e., mandatory voting. Everyone over 18 would be required to vote under penalty of law -- and those who don't get 90 days at hard labor! Of course, this solution would also include the choice (like Australians have) of voting for "None Of The Above!" If a majority of the voters chose "None Of The Above," then all candidates for that office would have to be replaced with new ones until we finally got some ones we could vote for! Of course, like they do in Australia, they could keep running pre-approved candidates our corpo-rat masters decide for us, as they are people, too! NOT! This guarantees nothing, but at least we the people would regain our voices and get to at least embarrass some political wankers before we get screwed again by the people who are supposed to be working for us! Betray-us, who was so beloved by his own men that one of them shot him in the chest and another one didn't quite pack his parachute correctly -- no doubt, innocent mistakes -- will bring that leadership ability to Langley, Virginia. Yippee! He'll replace Deputy-Fuhrer Leon E. Panetta, who moves to take over the defense department as Secretary of Defense. You may recall, Petraeus earned his sobriquet Betray-us by being Dubya's military stooge, and lying his ass off in favor of our war crimes and such before Congress, where he was charged by Move On.Org of "cooking the books" on said war crimes. He went on to surge American children in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Our kids quickly passed on the surge by murdering men, women and children all over the Middle East! A note to the world: if America ever shows up on your doorstep, wanting to bring democracy to your country, "run to the hills, run for your life!" Obamahood is adopting Betray-us, like he's done with the many acts of treason, sedition and such from the Crime Family Bush's two terms in the White House (instead of prosecuting them for all their crimes and rounding up all their stooges), and has made Betray-us the head of the CIA. I'm guessing that Heinrich Himmler wasn't available, huh, Barry? David will now do to the world what he's already done to the Middle East. That should make America some new friends, eh? I rather think, NOT! How about you? As magazines go, Issues & Alibis' cost is pretty much "chump change." With most Internet magazines, the yearly cost is in the seven figures. A few get by on six figures. We get by with the help of sponsors -- from a six figure cost to just five figures. Our total cost is just above $11,000 -- after our sponsor picks up about half of that, leaving us to raise just $5400 a year to keep bringing you the important news you need to know, without ever having to charge anyone for the information. That's a good thing, because the majority of our readership couldn't afford to subscribe and since these are the very people we're trying to reach that "chump change" can be hard to get! Thanks to Barbara from Boston, Gary from Indianapolis, and Ernie from Ontario's latest help, we are now lacking just $1400, down from last week's $1750. We need to raise that $1400 within the next month to continue the magazine for another year -- well, until the end of June 2012 to be accurate! A little help, Ya'll! Oh, and John, if you want to shut me up, begging for resources, why not send your dear old Uncle Ernie a nice check!??! As soon as this money is raised, I'll stop begging until next year! Perhaps by then we'll have some more sponsors, and I won't have to come before you cap-in-hand!  02-31-1969 ~ 08-28-2011 Thanks for your thoughts!
