    PARALLEL UNIVERSES
    By Peter Fredson
    March 12, 2006
    Long ago I was sent as a First Sergeant with my small unit into Normandy, France. I spent several weeks living in fox-holes, tents and Nissen huts. Then the Allies broke through at St. Lo. Large German army units surrendered intact.
    A colonel called me to his portable headquarters and said: “I understand you speak German.” “Yes, sir”. “Do you know army regulations?” “Yes, sir, I’m a chief administrative non-commissioned officer, so I (…)

    Does George Bush Bother You?
    By Peter Fredson
    March 11, 2006
    I don’t care how much brush George cuts down on that ex-pig farm that he calls a ranch. I don’t care how many barbecues he has there, or if he strums a guitar, eats cake, watches TV, eats pretzels, rides bicycles, or gets on with his life in Crawford, Texas. He can spend his entire life strutting, swaggering, and smirking there. In fact, he can do anything the Texas Rangers will not stop. That doesn’t bother me.
    As long as (…)

    LAUGHING JACKASS AND SINISTER SECRETARY
    By Peter Fredson
    March 10, 2006
    Looking at the TV news yesterday I was struck by two separate views. One was of George Bush signing a document. He had a big grin on his face, and was obviously ecstatic with his success, badly needed after several months of falling polls. Why did that puzzle me?
    First the Republican Senators gave Bush the ability to commit the most outrageous attack on civil rights ever perpetrated in this country against our (…)

    USEFUL TRAITS FOR A PRESIDENT
    By Peter Fredson
    March 9, 2006
    It is difficult to find exactly what presidents do. They interact with other humans constantly, using speech as their main tool, attempting to solve social and economic problems by getting other people to do the actual physical or social tasks they recommend, with a reputation based mainly on success in their endeavors. Some are rewarded handsomely with lavish living arrangements, social rituals, servants, and certain (…)

    MAINTAINING OUR VALUES
    By Peter Fredson
    March 6, 2006
    The give-away of our Port Maintenance by G.W.Bush has threatened the jobs of many thousands of port workers by giving them to foreigners. We understand this is part of his neocon strategy for world dominance through globalization, in which individuals are pawns in his plutocrat empire.
    Our objection is about his denigration of American labor, genius, energy, and industry for purposes of gaining power and wealth.
    Once Bush (…)

    HOW BUSH HANDLES PROBLEMS
    By Peter Fredson
    March 5, 2006
    Bush-watchers over the past 5 years have noticed that he has standard responses to criticism, ways of avoiding responsibility, ways of shuffling off blame, ways of keeping the Buck from stopping at his desk and that Bush does it without blinking or hanging his head, but yet remains smug, smirking and smiling.
    Denial is his first line of defense. Every statement of his is uttered with advice from his handlers for maximum (…)

    ANY PORT IN A STORM
    By Peter Fredson
    March 3, 2006
    The Bush cronies and sycophants have falsified the ports problem. For Bush this is part of his world domination strategy, in which globalization presents magnificent profits for billionaires and leave bread crumbs for everyone else.
    Bush never hesitates to outsource the genius, talent, energy, industry, and resources of his America, ( which was presented to him lock, stock, and barrel by hanging chads and a partisan Supreme Court) (…)

    Bush Corporatizing the Private World
    By Peter Fredson
    February 26, 2006
    We have seen it all before .... Many times! We have listened to dastardly lies from his entire cabinet. We have actually heard him say “9/11” hundreds of times to scare the public into doing his will. We have watched him surround Osama bin Laden on several occasions and then outsource or fail to capture him after spending millions of dollars on missiles, spies, allies.
    We have watched little black Condi lie her (…)

    SCARING PEOPLE SILLY
    By Peter Fredson
    February 22, 2006
    People wearing bed sheets, Frankenstein masks, triangular black hats, try to scare people on Halloween. They say “Trick or Treat” hoping to get candy.
    When I was young if you didn’t get candy, or sometimes just for the hell of it, some rowdy young people would toilet-paper the yard, empty garbage cans on the porch, and in the countryside they would turn over an outhouse. But, except for some fundamentalists already terrified of (…)

    BUSH OUTSOURCES OUR NATION
    By Peter Fredson
    February 21, 2006
    I have watched the disastrous regime of George W. Bush since his brother Jeb gave him the election in Florida by the hanging chads. I followed him through the partisan Supreme Court handing him the presidency. I watched Bush before the after the Twin Towers disaster, and saw nothing to admire. He made some speeches and put his arm around a fireman and his entire propaganda team went wild with enthusiasm. Since that time he (…)
