This is guest blogger person Jim Farris with another Monday edition of the "Monday off the Top Of My Head- Monday Edition" Report. We have been busy here at "Silly Thinking" as of late and I just want to take this opportunity as my contractual obligation dictates to welcome Sir Douglas Lain back to our "Silly Thinking" family. Good luck Doug- third times the charm! Over the weekend the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the CIA announced that they were looking at homegrown war protesters to find any criminals a/o terrorists. The departments would be using all the resources and new laws at their disposal to uncover UnAmerican spies and Al Kaida memebers here in the U.S. After The New York Times reported the story this weekend the government made (a sort of) hasty retreat saying that no one's individual freedoms would be trampled and that they weren't in the domestic spying business. If I can impose on the visual supply unit here at "Silly Thinking" I would like to link to the New York Times story and government denial 'cause they tell the story better than I can. But again A BIG WELCOME TO D O U G L A S L A I N (that's Lain with an I). In the former Soviet Republic of Georgia there was a bloodless revolution over the weekend when President Shervardnadze stepped down after huge demonstrations protested corruption in his government centered around the last "democratic" election" that was widely thought to be fixed. The election reportedly had several thousand ballots go uncounted and some were reported removed from counting stations. The President made public statements proclaiming the election honest but as more problems were reported the public protests grew louder and louder until he did a brave act by stepping down to avoid bloodshed and death. It seems Shevardnadze also promised an independent inquiry into the election and a hearing in front of the highest court in the land but it wasn't enough to stop opposition protesters from taking over the Parliament building on Saturday. The Georgian constitution allows for a new election in 45 days. Aren't you glad you don't live in those backwards eastern European nations where politics mean something and people protest- risk their lives- for what they believe in? Where the oppositon stage a revolution that changes their government because the support of the people is so passionate and strong? Where an illegal fixed election is delt with by revolutionaries who know what they are doing? Me too. I'm so glad to live here in the good old U.S. of A. where a crooked election is dealt with by a crooked supreme court and a hollow opposition that cares nothing for the democratic principles we built this nation on as we allow the brainwashing of our people by popular culture and amusements while right wing extremists take over our government and cause war and bloodshed in my name while I collect DVD's and get high every night to forget the sickening turn my country has taken for the last thiry years at least, but most troubling in the last three years.(Sorry about the run-on but leave it in.) That's J I M F A R R I S (that's Farris with an A) Come and get all of us you mother fuckers ... but do it on TV cause I want to watch myself get arrested with "BREAKING NEWS" at the bottom of the screen. Well that's all for today... see you all tommorow for "Celebrinet" where SY Gold has an exclusive report from NEVERLAND RANCH!! Read/Post Comments (0) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
