Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute

A collection of insightful ruminations, reflections, and rants on the events of the day (with the exception of the weekend). Come visit each weekday to see what's pushing Barbara's buttons.

April 1, 2005

Could it be that the Pope has opted to stay at the Vatican so that he can die with dignity and in peace? Has he opted for “no extraordinary means to prolong his life?” Has he decided he has the right to choose how he dies? Is his condition being kept “private” to keep the masses from knowing there may be a contradiction in what's being said to be the doctrine of the church and what is actually acceptable within the Church's hierarchy? We may never know why or how he chose to die.

“Even if he loses, his friends say, he doesn't lose. He'll just change the score, or change the rules … 'It's what we called Bush Effort' … So why could George get away with it? 'He was just too easygoing and too pleasant.'" Sometimes it's wise to listen to those who know best. And it seems his friends know him well.

If the Bush administration is allowed to continue to destroy domestic America, there won't be anyone with a job left to pay taxes. The majority of the public will be standing in faith-based soup lines hoping for a hand-out just to partially fill their bellies. These ideologue pseudo-experts are imploding America, and if the public doesn't wake up from their faith-based fantasy, we'll all be caught in the disaster created by idiots.

I told you it wasn't over---Tom DeLay and the gang are now going to get even more involved in destroying democracy than ever before. The government is now going to stick their noses into the medical profession, and we all know politics and medicine don't mix well! When they finish with the medical profession, the plan is to obliterate the judiciary!

The children in Iraq are starving, so says the latest report from the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva. Seems the children fared better under Saddam. How's that for a legacy, George Bush? Guess all that money we're sending over there is being spent on other things. It's beyond deplorable that these kids had to endure “shock and awe” so a bunch of rich guys could stuff even more into their bank accounts.

Uhh, Rep. Earl Pomeroy, this has been going on ever since George Bush stole the office in 2000. In case you didn't notice, retired people have been forcibly removed from his appearances, anyone who may look as though they don't agree with his policies has been denied entrance. Protesters have been relegated to protest zones and some of the "grass roots" participants have been provided air transport to the local areas where he stages his meetings. George Bush doesn't get within shouting distance of anyone who hasn't been invited.

Knowing the results of an election in advance gives way to a government that does whatever it wants and gets away with it! For instance, tax cuts for the very rich resulting in massive deficits, leaving most children and the poorest among us way behind, ignoring threats of terrorist attacks, altering intelligence and placing blame everywhere but where it belongs, pre-emptive wars that killed thousands, sending troops into battle without proper equipment, or sufficient numbers, or a plan to win the peace, Patriot Acts, detaining prisoners without charges, torturing and abusing prisoners, infusing government with religion, invited-only audiences for all appearances, the list goes on and will continue to do so unless and until voting irregularities and downright fraud are investigated and eliminated. They have hijacked the very essence of Democracy in this country. They have found a method and a means to hijack the votes of the American people.
