-------------------- The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame". In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience. And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him. "Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

great article. it's just a matter of time before the whole house of cards come crashing down. and then it's massive inflation, recession and more new taxes to bail out the government. and we'll have our leaders to blame.
does anyone else see the absurdity of borrowing money to wage an elective war?

Nice article
Edame, I've been dying to reference what Kennedy has been saying but inevitably felt that to do so would just stir up a whole bunch of Neocon shit.
Im pretty damn sure that if the man said those things, he has to have something to back atleast a couple of them up.. hopefully all of them. Im anxious to see how his accusations unfold.

I can't believe you just used politician and trustworthy in the same sentance The two are in fact mutualy exclusive in national politics Famous quotes; "I am NOT a crook" "read my lips,NO new taxes" "I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman" "I invented the internet"(OK I paraphrased that one) "I will uphold the constitution of the United States of America..."

Ad hominem. Lame, pinky, totally lame.
Kennedy's figures come from a non-partisan Congressional Budget Office report.

Hey, even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then, so it is not impossible that Ted Kennedy might occasionally refer to something that actually exists.
I should have made it more clear that I took the time to go to the link and read the entire article, not just the part about incorrect accounting procedures. Some of the more Kennedy-esque gems which caught my eye and prompted my unusually concise response --
"This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud,'' Kennedy said.
''My belief is this money is being shuffled all around to these political leaders in all parts of the world, bribing them to send in troops,'' he said.
''Terror has been put on the sidelines for the last 12 months.''
Classic Kennedy, though admittedly not relevant to the topic under discussion. My apologies.
