Not So Safe

OK, so the Bush Administration just gets done telling us how much safer we are now that Saddam Hussein has been captured. Then, they raise the terrorism threat level. And as ever, the American public does not see the logical gap here.

Noticing logical gaps clearly puts you in the category of "With the Terrorists."

After pulling up the Google search engine, I used "anti-Bush" as a search word. After clicking on the very first reference, I then clicked on the "Weblogs" hyperlink. Incidentally, nearly 400 are listed, yours among them. After visiting your weblog, I got the impression you'd like reading the text between the starred blocks.

So, the right wing has succeeded in strong-arming the CBS television network into dumping the proposed REAGANS mini-series onto some subscriber channel. What an impressive display of sheer political might. Here's the kicker.

It was also a startling display of sheer political jealousy. A Sunday or so ago, the History Channel did a retrospective on President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, some forty (40) years after his assassination. Because I won't be around to collect the bet, I must forgo offering this wager.

Oh, how I would love to bet five doughnuts to anybody's three! Some sixty (60) years from now, a hundred years after JFK's assassination, some mass media outlet will do a retrospective on the man and "Camelot". And the institutions dedicated to his memory will be flourishing. By then, former President Ronald (a/k/a "The Great Communicator") Reagan will have been relegated to history's curio shoppe. Chances are, the curators of the Reagan Library will have to made ends meet by adding on a bed-and-breakfast section ... maybe, a massage parlour, even.

Aaay, let's face it. Compared against the swan that was Jackie-O, Nancy comes across like a guano-spattered shrike. That alone is enough to drive the right-wing up the wall. * * * *

Well, if you've come this far, you must've enjoyed the text between the starred blocks. Just so happens, it's an excerpt from an article that was recently published on the Internet. Just in case, you'd be interested in reading the whole article, I've enclosed a hyperlink in this courriel.

Before clicking on it, though, you might like to know the hyperlink connects to an index of sorts that lists recently published articles. Furthermore, the excerpt is found in the "Yoko" piece.

Maybe, more to your interests, you might like to peruse the "Palestine" piece, for which I've gotten a few compliments. I've been told it explains, in large part, the peculiar behavior of the United States with regard to the Middle East, since the end of World War II.

And now, here's the promised HYPERLINK.

The administrators of some websites I had visited have asked me for credentials. A reasonable enough request, I suppose. To honor such requests, I've replied with the following directions.

One need only pull up the Google search engine, and then insert with quotes and all this phrase "A. Alexander Stella" in the search field. After clicking on the Google Search button, your monitor screen will be filled references attached to my name.

warm regards

p.s - I almost forgot to include this bit of information. The administrator for the www.theworriedshrimp.com website took me up on my offer to display my copyrighted and historically corrected version of the Confederate Battle Banner. So, here's another link for your edification: www.theworriedshrimp.com/ToonReviews.html

When I was in the service, my ship's captain was obsessed with "belt and suspenders". Maybe, he had a point. And so, here's the U.R.L undergirding the above hyperlink:
