THE THINGS WE TALK ABOUT and THE THINGS WE DON'T

Ah, the Summer is over and the rush is on, but what to talk about as the nights get long; No, it's no time to turn on your TV, unless you really don't seek clarity.....

1) Denmark & Germany keeping us safe, from the man our war masters chose to allow to take a mountain stroll into the arms of our bought & paid for ally, Pakistan. So why aren't Congress and other talking heads, talking about the differences between Denmark, Germany and the far more expensive Musharaff? Let's make them talk about that!

2) Military flies nuclear bombs over America, to the State where an American city is still struggling to survive an earlier governmental mistake. It really wasn't the "greatest natural disaster" that destroyed the Big Easy. It was the Army Corp of Engineer's Levies, and the mistakes of every level of our civilian government. Still, we have time to do more than, not talk about that.

3) The old man of the good old boy party, comes out of the shadows, in the din of night, to slip in the butt end of the GOP lineup, to try and elbow his way to the front. Thus the Republican line gains another to preach their plan, for more of the same insane bloodshed. No wonder their states are colored Red! Oh please, let's not talk about that!

4) Oprah campaigns for Obama. "Is that Fair?!?" cries out cable TV's screamer. Dear Chris, despite all of the efforts of Rumsfeld, Gonzales and the crooked shooting of Cheney in the Bush, it is still America, where it is not only "fair" to speak up and out for the candidate of your choice, but it should be seen as a privilege, if not a duty. Now, if she is supporting him because they share similar skin pigmentation, well, that might be something to talk about.

5) Our children licking lead from China, while Mattel joins Utah mine owner Bob Murray in a PR blitz, that would save an Idaho Senator. With all this theatre, we lack an intermission to talk about the real flop: our children being left behind.

6) Today Show reaches out to that towering personification of ethics & morality: Tom DeLay, giving him a national forum to redirect the focus of "We The People," while he continues to play his shell game. Now there's "The Bad Seed" for a new sitcom, worth talking about!
And Last But BEST:

7) A President of the United States admits that he is willing to prolong a war (that was never really designed to protect the Homeland - a Nazi term, by the way - from those truly responsible for attacking America six long years ago). Isn't it time for "We The People" to demand an interactive, action oriented conversation, about the continued needless & senseless sacrifice of American youth, in a country which had nothing to do with the planes & deaths of September 11, 2001?

Remember too, we now know there exists a Nixon-like hit list instruction pamphlet, on how to prevent Americans from exercising their First Amendment Rights in the presence of their President, and our independent media spends more TV news coverage, on the Toilet Come Back Kid, with cute captions like, "In or Out," redirecting the focus of what we should be talking about.

Our corporate owned media has become masters at redirecting the news from where our (& their) focus should be. It doesn't matter whether Senator Craig is gay or gray, get it? Come on think about the real issue, focus on that, and demand that your news source and your government do the same. Now, that's worth talking about.

Sexual discrimination, Racial Bias and Political Hypocrisy, have no place in James Madison's view of Constitutionality. That needs to be the focus of our Media, the agenda of our National conversation and the mandate "We The People" give our elected officials, to talk about.

Perhaps in the Land of the Free, what "We the People" should be talking about and focused on is, what GW Bush & Larry Craig have in common: Both make pretty public speeches, designed to dupe both military and civilians, but record their own devious & malicious self serving & secret intentions, while we talk about Oprah and her political interventions.

Talk About That!
