Dear Redacted

Dear Redacted (Wednesday, July 25, 2007) We are home in Arizona as of 1 am July 24. EXACTLY one year after we arrived..to the day...from our terrible war adventure. It was a long hard trip (redacted). Good and bad...mostly closure of some things. Letting go of the ideal of "expatriatism" for now. It has been my central motivation and I realize now that I must move forward and I must move in this direction and at this pace. What to do. The Middle East is a downright catastrophe and as… Continue

Why Me?

What About Mars? May 11, 2006 No more problems says the package the cure came in, no more warning labels and the price tag no longer legible. It began with flashy children and fast cars then people started talking about the leftover stuff after the move out, wondered what would happen to the crystal ball and Japanese flag. Where to put Mars now? Whose house next? Yesterday it was exactly two years ago that I began my exile in my own hometown. The irony of that nearly drove me ma… Continue

The End of Supply Side Economics

Each in our own way are coming to the realization that Reaganomics was indeed, Voodoo economics. The concept that greed is good coexisting with the self regulating discipline of the marketplace only served to reveal and amplify the worst of human nature. From the ashes of supply side economics rises the phoenix of Wall Street Socialism, whereby profit is for the top 1% and the risk is distributed to the taxpayers. The new meme thrust upon us is that, in the words of Animal Farm, some pigs are mo… Continue

How Libertarians Do Health Care

from BradBlog.com: Dr. Ron Paul's Campaign Manager Dies Uninsured, $400,000 in Debt As the campaign manager for the presidential bid of Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Kent Snyder received a lot of credit for raising $35 million from grassroots supporters, a phenomenal accomplishment for an insurgent campaign. But, like 48 million other Americans, Snyder had no health insurance, and when he died from pneumonia on June 26 after a two-month hospital stay, he left medical bills totaling o… Continue

The Departure and Real Whining

The Departure July 21, 2006 The last day in our apartment in Beirut was harrowing to say the least. My very large extended family were all still trapped in the South and under heavy, heavy bombardment. Al'ham'dullilah for cell phones and Libancell who managed to keep the system working throughout the entire ordeal or we would have not known anything about them. My husband's sister Ghada was with me and my three children in our apartment in Khaldeh. Her husband (a member of the Shia Am… Continue

The Israeli Aggression, July 16, 2006

Well...I was whining alot during the aggression you know. Pitiful creature but I wasn't whining about the things people usually whine about "over here". I was whining about INJUSTICE. Real injustice not the fake kind that makes people say stupid things that lead me to believe that the average American human being thinks that the resources of other people belong to them! Or the notion that they support the idea that Iran doesn't have the right to produce their own nuclear fuel to combat not on… Continue

Phil Gramm May Be Gone, But His Porn Lives On

From today's Huffington Post: Phil Gramm's recent disparaging of "a nation of whiners" complaining about a "mental recession" did more than offend the sensibilities of economically struggling Americans. His gaffe also served as a reminder that McCain had appointed one of the most reactionary, venal, and destructive political figures in recent times as his top econ man. By Sunday, the damage to the McCain campaign had grown so severe it announced that Gramm's role had been significantly re… Continue

Whining from Beirut, 2006

http://carmenisacat.blogspot.com/ Anniversary of the Defeat of Israel and its Allies During the next few weeks I would like to revive the posts I made during the Israeli Agression of 2006 in commemoration of the valor of those who died defending Lebanon and the Human Rights of people around the world and in commemoration of those who suffered material losses because of the heinous war crimes of the United States of America and Zionism. It was ALL WORTH IT. Every single loss and every s… Continue

McCain's Perez Hilton Problem

I don't mean to whine, but the real question you should be asking McCain is: "Doesn't adopting a member of your family who was born a Muslim and with a Muslim name automatically disqualify you to become President of the United States?" Continue

Whine of the Day: Moveon.org formalizes whining to Fox

Here's the latest on Fox from Moveon.org. Hey, the Terrorist Fist Bump was a joke, right? Right??? Over 428,000 people have signed a petition telling FOX to stop their racist and hate-filled smears against Barack Obama. If we hit half-a-million signatures, we can draw media attention and put pressure on FOX's advertisers.

Whine Not, While In the Presence of Role Models

Welcome to 21st Century America. In case you missed the memo, we are taking Darwinism out of Science class and putting it in Economics class. While I know the adjustment may be difficult for some of you, I am not required to "feel your pain" (that's soooo 20th Century). I've been advised by Dear Leader to take sufficient doses of Oxycontin so that I feel no pain at all. What you whiners don't seem to understand is that "the Ame… Continue
