Nose hair, get rid of it all. Why couldn't we have some kind of organic hepafilter way in the back of our nostrils to do the same thing? Maintenance alone is tough. I'm super anal about it. I used to get in my car and drive to the end of our driveway to get the perfect light to pull by. That's right, I don't cut, I yank. Sure, there are alot of sneezes and a few tears, but my compulsive, quasi-masochistic need to get rid of every single hair in my nose overrides all. It is a heavy price to pay, yet one I will gladly accept. Cuz sometimes you see someone whose nose looks like a party favor. With tenacity and hard work, that won't ever be me.

What is victory in Iraq? An oil deal. More specifically getting the new Iraqi government to sign an oil reconciliation bill that privatizes 81% of Iraq's oil. Of course, the Iraqis don't want to give the bulk of their oil production potential over to private companies, allowing them to make huge profits. We removed Saddam to rip off his treasure. Powered by the quasi-patriotic fervor following 9/11, this criminal and un-American administration skillfully duped the public into believing Iraq had something to do with the 9/11 attacks and had weapons of mass d.
Not just a few, but stockpiles.
We, as a nation, bought it hook line and sinker.

Of course if you really think about it, it's not hard realize that this illegal war was to line the pockets of big energy. When Bush was "made" by the supreme court in 2000, Big Energy was riding shotgun. This Bush cartel has deep pockets and long slimy tendrils of influence. The good ole boys have smelled the money in Iraq since 1990. Disappointed that we did not march to Baghdad and take what is obviously ours, (cuz thats what Jesus would do...and he's American), big energy and their neo-con henchman plotted, planned, and waited. September 2001 they saw their chance. Riding a perfect storm of nationalism, a weak, easily manipulated press, a propaganda infrastructure that has been up and running since the seventies, and Arabic looking bad guys, the crime family made their move. The bait and switch. Somehow 15 out of 19 hijackers from Saudi Arabia and none from Iraq meant Saddam caused 9/11. Sure Ok.

The Bush administration are criminals and racketeers, we American people subscribe to the "ignorance is bliss" protocol for our politicians, and the American press wrote what they were told.
Now almost five years later America is in worse shape in terms of security, finance, geo-politics, civil liberties, international respect, and our ability to foment change around the world. Close to 3500 Am soldiers killed, tens of thousands injured, hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, a country destroyed, 11 billion dollars a week.

"If we leave, they will follow us over here." The mantra of the stupid. This nine word phrase and it's small minded advocates are just enough to keep us in Iraq until Bush gets the oil or Bush leaves office. Which he might not do...can anyone say Martial Law. I'm sure that's one of the words that George can say, quite clearly.

As of August of this year my father will be retired. Congratulations Dad, you deserve it. Both you and Mom have always been supportive, loving, and nurturing parents. You sacrificed for us and took care of us. As children we don't realize that you have lives, problems, hurts, wants, and needs outside of our adolescent narcissism. Therefore on a day that you might not feel well we might throw a tantrum about wanting two treats, not just one. Well I do realize and I want you to know that I love You. We all do. I don't tell you as much as I should.

When I come home my mind is filled with happiness and good memories. All of us kids are lucky to call you Mom and Dad.

Mom - Make sure Buddy and Bella read this too.
Dad - There is no need for a second source.

With Love and Respect,

Your 1st Son

Sometimes you call me Maury.

Henry "Goodfellas" Hill was on Stern the other day and I was amazed this guy still walks the earth. Not because of some wiseguy contract but because he has abused his body for years. He's 66 and still drinks to the point of black out, still hits shit, and still smokes like a chimney. Amazing. Oh Henry boy, the pipes, the pipes they are a calling.
