Gumpy News

That's what came to mind with the "god told me to" line Bush said two years ago. His handlers denied it then and deny it now. Politics is like a box of propaganda, you never what you're gonna get. In this case, it's to scare little gumps with the idea that Bush is a religious man, and not the ordinary religious man but one of the crazy type – talking to God and God talking back, telling Bush who to smite and who to set aside (for another day). Gumpese: Stupid is as stupid does.

And why is it news that Bush seeks powers to use the military in a bird flu epidemic? Bush (or any prez) can use the military any way he wishes. If you think Posse Comitatus will stop anything, read again, U.S. Code Sections 331 through 334. Section 332 states: "Pursuant to the presidential power to quell domestic violence, federal troops are expressly exempt from the prohibitions of Posse Comitatus Act, and this exemption applies equally to active-duty military and federalized National Guard troops." With any "disaster" be it natural or man made, there will be "violence" for the president to "quell." In Gumpese : Run tularemia bunny run.

This week Putin draws line in sand. Putin will attempt to persuade one of the Gringostan countries the US has yet to purchase, Tajikistan, to maintain the vow of "no US troops" on their soil. Gumpese : We were like peas and carrots, Putin and the US. Will Putin jump up and bite us on the buttocks? Or will it be China, the fiery dragon in Revelations.

According to this article Nerves jangled as threat disrupts N.Y. commute. But I read a poll somewhere a few hours ago that 2/3 of New Yorkers were not overly concerned (don't want to look for the link). And there's that intercepted "Ayman al-Zawahiri to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi" letter - Zarqawi's group has claimed responsibility for a series of killings, hostage beheadings and major suicide bombings in Iraq. Zawahiri was number two Zzzzzz - behind only Bin Laden … Osama sure has a lot of right-hand men and number twos. And that's all I have to say about that.

Bush says 10 plots by Al Qaeda were foiled. Since 9/11. Bush isn't a smart man but he knows what terrorists is. Last night Bush claimed Iran/Syria are "allies of terror and enemies of civilization." Where will "it" come from? Birds, rabbits, Arabs, non-Arab, dragons, in the air, the water, by bomb, by train, plane, cars, by stealth.

Gumpese: Shit happens.
