Maybe Dick and his buddies drank a little too much hooch and decided to try making S'Mores and the fire got out of hand!

"If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands."

The coincidence of a fire starting in Cheney's office suite is too much to be ignored - but it could be just a fluke - a trick of fate, or a chance accident. Yeah, right - and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

What a Rant!!!I love it. Had the administration not been so closed in their actions, many of us would never locate a single conspiracy thought but when the air in the White House starts to stink, one must check the sewer.

It is a mistake to allow this Administration to stay another year, and I believe their final stroke for our end of days is waiting in the wings. Bush will have the final strike and we will sit there and take it.

Perhaps it is

...a RED (state) herring -

...might have been a pet goat roast? -

...so many possibilities given the idea that these so called 'leaders' feel they have some of divine guidance to do whatever the phuck they want -

...there is no limit to the level of evil they'll claim is their RIGHT -

Priceless!

Last night, I was reading Danny Schechter's daily blog on the Media--available from Dissector@mediachannel.org --a worthwhile read almost always, and came upon this:

"And then yesterday, a fire erupted near Dick Cheney's office at the White House "compound." I wonder if any revealing documents went up in smoke. (After I wrote this I was sent this link. Check it out.)" The link was to http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/12/19/14463... .

The person who put this list together was simply on the ball--while other Capitol Hill Blue readers have made some small steps toward this, this person goes all the way.

(Don't ignore it because it appeared on Daily Kos--unless you're a Bushie fan, you'll find it well worth a look!)

Enjoy!

What's even more fishy...

I checked the internet sites of CNN and Fox and not even a mention of the fire. My friend watched the mainstream news last night and saw nothing regarding this. My god, a fire in the office of the vice president of the U.S. and it has been totally ignored by General Electric, errhh ummm the mainstream press. Now tell me that ain't extremely fishy. If it doesn't smell fishy, it at least smells like a duck!

I have heard several rumors that Cheney's wife smokes after sex. We now have proof positive!

I found an article

regarding the fire hidden on page 10a of my local paper today. The most powerful man in the world's office has burned and the news gets pushed back to page 10a, hmm. A friend notified me that CNN did report it yesterday, but it was quickly taken off their front page. Now if I was the typical warmonger-hillary-voting american lacking critical thinking skills I wouldn't have even noticed. Good thing for them that most are either asleep or pathetically apathetic. They'll get away with this one too, you know, the incriminating documents they won't be able to produce because they got burned in the fire.

The Veep was regenerating and his alcove short-circuited.

He was burning the directions to his undisclosed location, to ensure himself a safe refuge from angry mobs once out of the White House.

Note to Dick:
The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven. John Milton

Be kind to Dick Cheney. He has a bad heart. If he gets wind of some of these comments he may become so upset he dies of a heart attack. So lighten up. He is, after all, our Vice President, the most powerful man in the world.

If I remember correctly, the list of White House visitors wasn't the only list that the public is now supposedly able to see. I believe that the other list that the judge ruled on was the list of visitors to Cheney's residence.

Hmmmmmm.

WE INTERUPT THIS PROGRAM -

is what would have happened 20 years ago on all networks and they would have been breaking every traffic law in town to be the first with live on the scene coverage.

There would have been at least two hours of at the time coverage complete with "expert" interviews.

The fire would have been the lead story at 6 & 11:00 and at least two great smoking pictures would capture the readers of every newspaper in the country with the caption:

WHITE HOUSE ON FIRE
President and VP safe

The Sunday Pol Talk shows would have been filled with questions and theories and information about the on going investigations. It would have been good for two weeks worth of news.

But that's when there WAS a news media.

I'm a musician, and your latest column is like one of those rare moments when you're playing and something else seems to take over. I like your rants in general, Doug, but I'm thinking of printing this one and keeping it in my piano case for quick inspiration!

Need to be more careful with that light saber when you're paring down the Bill of Rights, Darth. Good thing it wasn't still the same size as when you guys took office, or who knows how many more buildings it could have ignited.

On a more serious note, though, I AM wondering what sort of "Look, Elvis" we have with this situation.

I found this to be very interesting:
--------------------------------
NEW YORK - A 710-year-old copy of the declaration of human rights known as the Magna Carta — the version that became part of English law — was auctioned Tuesday for $21.3 million, a Sotheby's spokeswoman said.

The document, which had been expected to draw bids of $30 million or higher, was bought by David Rubenstein of The Carlyle Group, a private equity firm.
---------------------------------

This version of the document is considered the birth certificate of human rights in the world and greatly influenced our own Constitution and Bill Of Rights. What I find so interesting is who bought it. The Carlyle Group - The Bush family's outfit. Considering their record of doing away with human rights, what the hell do they want with it? Do they want to own all of the people's rights, even if they have to pay Millions for them?

Another interesting fact about this is that it was owned By Ross Perot (yeah, that Perot) who paid 1.8 million for it many many years ago from a British family. [Considering inflation, he probably didn't make a profit.] All these years it has been in the same display with the US Constitution in Washington DC.

Maybe it's just me but I find this very weird.

OH MY GAWD!ROFLMAO
Doug, you're my hero.

C'mon, it's obvious. It's all the records of Britney Spears' visits to Dick's office, along with the 6-foot stack of resulting sex tapes. Also any and all love notes from Britney that would tie Dick to the real paternity of her child.
