Captain's Quarters -

When people study it long enough, eventually it dawns on them that Kyoto is not an anti-global-warming treaty--provides near zero tangible improvement in the climate--as much as it is a productivity tax on the West. It's only a "global improvement" if you think that Western productivity is too high, and Western unemployment rates are too low. It's probably great for Malaysia.

Kyoto has never been anything but a global scale income redistribution scheme, dressed in environmental costume. Just like the redistribution schemes on the domestic level, robbing Peter to bribe Paul will always work as long as there are more Pauls than Peters. We're just lucky that the disguise wasn't convincing enough to get this monster past the Senate.

Blaming the weather on American technology; is not just kyoto. But fat Albert Gore's Oscar winnah.

It's really a UN attempt to tax us.

To pass laws that would inhibit out trade.

Do you know what made the UN stronger? Gazoo.

Israel was faced with a "perception problem." And, no one stopped the europeans from threatening, not just tarrifs, but isolation. Boycotts of Israeli goods.

That's why Arik Sharon "went for" gazoo.

He pulled about 8,000 very religious Jews from their homes, along the waterfront strip of Gaza. TO BUY PEACE!

Bush? He thought it was only the start. And, there were hundreds-of-thousands of Jews still to go.

So that following 9/11, America would "host" a terrorist state, newly "created" ... formed on Israel's hide.

One reason Bush is falling so fast? The Man Upstairs has his ways. He punishes those who think their brand of religion lets them build "trains to Auschwitz. Even though, this time, the tracks are on the ocean floor.

When Jews died in europe, in such great numbers; they were UNARMED. They had no defenses.

Hilter built planes and tanks; and also let loose against europe. Because he thought he had planes and tanks. And, the west was full of cowards.

You can do lots of harms to unarmed people.

Israel's no longer unarmed. But she has few friends in the world. And, NONE in the White House!

Bush is nose diving down. He may try to bomb his way out of it. But hitting Iran? Where's his support structure? Not here, in the USA.

And, not in too many other places in the world.

That's why the evil shits, like the House of Saud on one side; and George Soros on the other; are deeply invested in buying our country. It's almost as if we're that cheap.

It's a bottleneck, out there, though.

Why?

Look at all the candidates who think they have a shot?

You think it's going to be a walk in the park for Harry Ried, and his lame ducks? That's one of the biggest negatives now.

Bush on one side. Lots of negatives.

And, the donks on the other. Can you imagine any donk getting into the White House, now, and not selling our country down the river?

We see Gonzales, a poor schmuck. What an idiot. But at least he's not bred out of the DC fabric, that's really, really rotten.

Next time?

I actually think that there's a "Lincoln, out there." We just don't see him, yet. But he will connect with a majority of AMericans. And, get votes.

If it's Guiliani, I think we'd be getting a good deal. The man is not intimidated by being on view. And, taking questions from all sorts of "talking heads." He doesn't seem to rattle.

He also entered New York's Gracie Mansion with a play book. And, a plan. Everyone hired to fill a seat in his government was top notch. And, then he exposed them, too, to the limelight. In his Thursday morning meetings. Started at 7:00 AM. And, if you know anything about meetings, IF the boss has put his tuchis in the chair, you better not be late, fella.

The rules were to throw the department head's TROUBLES out into the open. So ALL the talent could offer up suggestions on problem solving.

That, by the way, is how it was decided to go after the "squeegie men" for Jay Walking.

How so? Well, the ACLU put lawyers at the police stations. As soon as a squeegie man got arrested, they went into over-drive. And, cut at the laws. In other words? If a bum comes over to your car. Spits on YOUR car's window. Takes out a filthy rag. And, you have to fend off the bum. The ACLU kept asking "what laws are broken?" And, the bums got out, to spin around, and go back to their money earning, spiting on car windows, stations.

At one of those AM conferences; when the police noticed the bums would just leave the street and head to the cars STOPPED for red lights; a light went on.

Let the cops arrest only those who weren't using cross-walks.

Turns out, NYC has Jay Walking LAWS. You get ticketed. ANd, if you don't pay your ticket, or willingly give the police your name and address; they can haul you off to jail. And, this is what they did.

Soon enough, the bums didn't go back.

Guiliani commented that it wasn't even 100 bums. Less than that! No one had ever done an accounting. The bums owned the streets; until they didn't.

Sometimes, a department head, really embarassed at exposing his own department's weaknesses at the Mayor's "round table" on Thursday mornings; would try to pigeon hole his top brass, to give them "details" they wanted kept secret.

Didn't work. Guiliani would take this department head, out of turn, and spill it all in front of the others.

Feedback. And, openness. And, an ability to handle the press. Are Guiliani's strong suits.

He also took no bullshit from Arafat.

That's why I think the House of Saud is pushing hard, now. Because it's not gonna be the same when Bush walks.

How aware is Bush of the "traps on this golf course?" Now, more than ever; he's aware that the next bite comes off Karl Rove's ass. Or his own. He's not quite as free as he used to be to do just what he wants.

Heck, even Harriet Miers created enough of a stir across his bow, that this less than stellar performer QUIT.

The less ideas Bush can implement, ahead, the better.

CH, wow. Rant much?
Kyoto was never about Bush--it took place during the Clinton administration. AP6 is just one of several "green" projects promoted by the Bush presidency that the MSM has been silent on (remember that huge fishing-free zone created near Hawaii?).

I've always found it easier to associate with folks who can "walk the walk" when it comes to green living.

Having lived throughout the US and several 3rd world countries, I firmly believe that conservationism is not merely a western ideal, but a western-half-of-the-US practice. There's a reason it's the Sierra Club and not the Ozarks or the Catskills Club.

Green living comes at a price, though, and one usually higher than the consume-waste cycle practiced throughout the developing world.

Kudos to Canucks who can smell the compost of Kyoto! -cp

So we get the choice to say we will take the lesser evil and just punch ourselves multiple times in the face rather than voluntarily sit down on a sharpened spike.

Oh that's good.
