This “immigration bill” (why not call it what it is a so-called attempt to deal with ILLEGAL immigration) not just an immigration plan – why do they leave the WORD illegal out – supposedly has some key components:

 

 

 

1.) Penalties. 2.) Back to the end of the line. 3.) Illegals cannot get gov’t handouts (food stamps, etc). I thought that for all these years they weren’t eligible, weren’t receiving them an/or they never did in the first place… 4.) An E-Verify system.

Sen. Rand Paul formally rolled out his 2014 budget blueprint on Friday, offering a combination of tax and spending proposals that he said would balance the federal budget in five years without raising taxes.

 

The freshman Kentucky Republican’s plan reshapes entitlement programs, abolishes four federal agencies and overhauls the federal tax code by establishing a 17-percent flat tax and eliminating taxes on capital gains, dividends and savings.

Laurie Roth – America, Stop Cowering and Stand up For Your Country

March 22, 2013 1 comment

America stop cowering under your bed. Stop believing in your spirit that there is nothing you can do to save your country and lives. You feel weak. You feel poor and old. You are a nobody. What can you do? Together, with God’s help we can do EVERYTHING. “I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me.” -Phil: 4:13

Our country has been under constant attack from within by the Obama regime surrounded by his progressive America haters. His handlers, ‘the new world order crowd’ and ‘radical Islam’ have attacked and crushed much of our freedom already, per the plan from long ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forced Obama care coverage is really ‘access to our accounts’ and a bold tool to start seizing our funds and assets. It is much like the national theft of accounts in Cyprus making international news this week and causing widespread panic.

Rand Paul’s anti-interventionism… “There is a fear among John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and others who favor an interventionist foreign policy…They’re worried that Rand Paul’s diatribe on drones really means that Rand Paul wants to bring the military home and not use it unless we’re attacked, He doesn’t like it being used in an intervention.

Rand Paul, the junior senator from Kentucky, filibustered the Senate vote on confirming John Brennan to be CIA director, because he was against the drone war in general and the targeted assassination of American citizens in the US in particular.

He failed. Brennan became CIA director. But his filibuster was called “historic” by Antiwar.com’s Justin Raimondo, who quotes a talk show host at length:

“There is a fear among John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and others who favor an interventionist foreign policy. Think of the neocons. Think of going into Iraq and not just securing Iraq, but building a democracy.

Nation building, if you will. Think of the outbreak of the Arab Spring and the people on our side who thought, ‘Wow, this is wonderful. This is the outbreak of American democracy,’ when it wasn’t.

It was the exact opposite. Rand Paul, they’re asking themselves, is he his father’s Ron Paul son or is he on his own here?

They’re worried that Rand Paul’s diatribe on drones really means that Rand Paul wants to bring the military home and not use it unless we’re attacked, He doesn’t like it being used in an intervention. This is what they fear. And as he succeeds in making a connection with the America people, they’re worried, the neocons are worried that they are being undermined by this.”That was from none other than Rush Limbaugh, who used to call critics of American foreign policy “appeasement”, “anti-American”, “cheese-eating surrender monkey“.

Could explain why murdered ambassador was in attacked facility

 

TEL AVIV – Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., may have dropped a bombshell in an interview with Fox News in which he stated that murdered U.S Ambassador Christopher Stevens was in Benghazi to keep weapons caches from falling into the hands of terrorists.

 

Until now, no official explanation for Stevens deployment to Libya has acknowledged any such activity.

Last week, freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) held an old-fashioned filibuster against the nomination of John Brennan to head the CIA. Paul’s stated reason for taking to the floor and talking for 13 hours was that the Obama administration wouldn’t give him a straight answer on the question of whether the president can unilaterally order the killing of American citizens on American soil with “lethal force, such as a drone strike … and without trial.”

Drones Will Target Conservative Americans…

March 13, 2013 Leave a comment

For many of us, Rand Paul’s filibuster was a surreal moment in time, beckoning back to better days when Mr. Smith Goes to Washington was considered a masterpiece of film because it embodied the values of our nation.

 

Today, “violence porn” films like Django Unchained are considered the top of the heap because they, sadly, embody our corrupt and violent society.“Old Bull” Republicans like John McCain and Lindsey Graham thought Rand Paul’s filibuster was stupid and irrelevant.

That it was ridiculous to think that Barack Hussein Obama, who has from almost Day One of his presidency spurned the rule of law—often blathering about “if Congress won’t act, I will”—would drop a hellfire missile on an American sitting in a cafe.But this wasn’t some manufactured issue, as the Left is famous for.

On this weekend’s broadcast of The McLaughlin Group, regular liberal panelist Eleanor Clift accused Senator Rand Paul of trying to “stir a revolt against the U.S. government.”

 

ELEANOR CLIFT: I’m with John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who basically said this was over the top and creating a sense that the government is really just waiting for this opportunity to drop a drone on you. But, I’ll grant you the point. The ACLU put out a statement siding with Rand Paul and this is where the left and the right do meet.

 

There are genuine questions about the drones and he did ask them. But he took it to a dimension which really does raise questions about the — I want to say this gracefully, so maybe I better not say it at all. It raises questions about, you know, what he’s up to. It’s like he’s trying to stir a revolt against the U.S. government.

I asked the president, can you kill an American on American soil, it should have been an easy answer. It’s an easy question. It should have been a resounding, an unequivocal, “No.” The president’s response? He hasn’t killed anyone yet. — Rand Paul

 

I do not believe that question deserves an answer. — Lindsey Graham

Whatever his ideological leanings, surely Shakespeare would have raised an eyebrow at the political scene Wednesday, if only for the content it would have stirred in his creative mind. Though Rand Paul spearheaded an epic 13-hour filibuster, he didn’t fill that time alone. Fourteen other Senators total offered him a respite along with comradely, thought-provoking questions, and humor, to boot.

Some comments, or technically questions, were in part to pass the time, but many managed to raise spirits by quoting movies, musicians, famous authors, or regular supporters. Sens. Cruz, Scott, and Flake are all freshmen.

Traditionally, their first speech on the Senate floor would have been on something of personal importance, but instead they helped Rand further his filibuster. Since cell phones are banned on the floor, Cruz offered to read series of Tweets so Paul could see what was going on in the outside world — the “Twitterverse” — encouraging Paul (and supporters).

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul did something on Wednesday that hasn’t happened in the Republican Party since Obama won the White House in 2008. Senator Paul stood up for what he believed and defended the Constitution during an old fashioned filibuster against what has become known to most conservatives as a quasi-tyrannical socialist Obama regime.

Senator Paul’s filibuster was an attempt to set a narrative within the context of the constitutionality of the Obama regimes domestic drone policy.

Rand PaulThe big news of the day seems to be the aftermath of the filibuster held for 13 hours by Senator Rand Paul. He should need no introduction, as his father is former Representative Ron Paul. He shares some of his father’s extreme libertarian ideology, but not all. If nothing else, it seems he is more than willing to ask the questions of government that many of our politicians are not willing to ask. That’s why he began the old-school talking filibuster in the first place. He asked a question of Attorney General Eric Holder and not being satisfied with Holder’s quibbling of an answer, took matters into his own hands.

The Gang of Eight Immigration Constituency | Veterans Today

February 4, 2013 3 comments

The illegal immigration invasion has been ongoing for decades. All efforts to shut the door on unrestricted entry are “all hat no cattle”. The notion that it is impossible to secure the territorial borderlines is an insult to every native born citizen.

The dirty policy that is not much of a secret is that the establishment wants an influx of low wageworkers that drives down the cost of labor. The consistent pattern of domestic de-industrialization is a core objective of globalism.

Could it be that “comprehensive immigration reform” isn’t even needed, because the population of illegals in the United States already has won the fight?

 

 

 

There are experts in the field who suggest President Obama already may have taken action that, essentially, has ended the controversy.

I demand to be arrested for blasphemy. Now.

September 19, 2012 2 comments

I demand to be arrested for blasphemy. Now. Posted by Ann Barnhardt – September 14, AD 2012 1:12 PM MST The Obama regime is going after the people who made the cheesy mohammed movie that the musloids are blaming the riots on.

They are “suggesting” that YouTube “review” the content of the clip of the movie they have posted, and are also now looking to jail one of the filmmakers. In addition, the Obama propaganda arm operating as the L.A. Times has posted pictures and explicit location descriptions of the home of one of the filmmakers, clearly an effort to intimidate the filmmakers and to pass tactical intel to the muslim brotherhood – which is why you always publicize your personal info right off the bat like I did.

In doing so you claim a massive tactical advantage and utterly deprive the enemy of his MAIN WEAPON, which is intimidation and fear. Ladies and gentlemen, what you are witnessing is the establishment of the Sharia, specifically “islamic blasphemy” laws, right here in what used to be called the United States of America.

Well, I have a little something to say about all of this.

I have done what many consider to be the most hard-core, serious koran burning to date. I bookmarked the filthy damn thing with strips of raw bacon, and then I burned the satanic screed page by page after reading the demonic filth therein contained.

What many of you may not know is that very soon after my koran burning went viral, a group of Coptic Christians in Egypt translated it – every word – subtitled it in Arabic, and then posted that version on YouTube. How humbling. Please understand that there is a very good chance that some of the Copts involved in that effort have since been killed in the Christian genocide that has been raging in Egypt, and all throughout the musloid-infected world since early 2011.

While my original version on my YouTube channel has just under 200,000 views as of this writing, that is a pittance compared to the Arabic subtitled version, posted on the YouTube Channel “AnnThankYou”, which has 665,000 views. Most of those views are of course in Egypt, the Middle East and North Africa. Therefore, if this nation is now under the Sharia, I DEMAND to be arrested for not only “blasphemy” but also as an accessory to murder as recommended by both Mike Barnicle and Donny Deutsch on MSNBC earlier this week. THAT CITATION HERE.

Any time you bastards want to get real about this, I’m your flippin’ huckleberry. Come and get me, and then WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.

It has been a century since Woodrow Wilson reportedly opined that young boys should grow up to be as unlike their fathers as possible. Whether he worded it exactly that way, our 28th president surely pursued the goal, both as educator and as politician.

Not that his era was the first to witness a challenge to parents’ prerogative. However, the early 20th century “progressive movement” (of which Wilson was a part) did offer up the most open manifestation of that attitude in American official circles up to that moment in history.

Widow of Marine Corps Launches Campaign to Prove Her Husband Was Murdered | Veterans Today

February 7, 2012 Leave a comment

Military widows join forces to raise awareness of non-hostile military deaths.

(EASLEY, SC) – Kimberly Stahlman, widow of Colonel USMC, is fighting to prove that her husband did not commit suicide but was instead murdered. However, the Marine Corps refuses to help.

As part of this fight she partnered with Tracy Shue, widow of Colonel Philip Shue USAF and writer/military family advocate Cilla McCain and drafted a Bill of Rights for Bereaved Military Families.

To bring this campaign to the public, they have started a petition to Congress and launched MilitaryHomicide.org as a resource for other military families facing the same circumstances.

Marine Corps Colonel Michael Stahlman was an investigating officer in the case against Lt. Andrew Grayson, an intelligence officer charged with making false statements, attempting fraudulent discharge, and obstructing justice, in connection to the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians in the city of Haditha.

Colonel Stahlman was vocal in his disappointment with the manner in which the entire Haditha matter was handled by the Marine Corps hierarchy and recommended that charges against Grayson be dropped. The recommendation was rejected by prosecutors and Grayson eventually was cleared of all charges in June 2008.

Prison Planet.com » Ron Paul Moves to Kill Indefinite Detention Provision of NDAA

January 18, 2012 4 comments

Rep. Ron Paul left the campaign trail on Wednesday to speak on the House floor about the National Defense Authorization Act, which was signed into law on the first day of the new year by Obama.

Image via Wikipedia

Paul introduced legislation to strike the NDAA’s Section 1021, the discretionary detention provision authorizing the President to detain persons accused by the government of supporting terrorism.

Ron Paul has serious reservations despite Obama’s issuing a signing statement declaring that he will not use the law to detain Americans. In December, Paul said the bill will accelerate the country’s “slip into tyranny” and virtually assures “our descent into totalitarianism.”

The Texas congressman and presidential candidate said on Wednesday the bill “provides for the possibility of the U.S. military acting as a kind of police force on U.S. soil, apprehending terror suspects, including Americans, and whisking them off to an undisclosed location indefinitely.”

He then criticized his fellow lawmakers. “Sadly, too many of my colleagues are too willing to undermine our constitution to support such outrageous legislation. One senator even said, about American citizens being picked up under this section of the NDAA, ‘When they say ‘I want my lawyer,’ you tell them, ‘Shut up. You don’t get a lawyer.’”

If America Is the Battleground, Nobody Has Any Rights

CATO / The Washington Examiner ^ | 2011-12-19 | Gene Healy

Posted on Saturday, December 24, 2011 1:00:33 PM by rabscuttle385

Last Thursday — which happened to be the 220th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights — the Senate passed a defense bill that demonstrates just how cavalier Congress can be with our fundamental liberties.

Given the opportunity to clarify existing law and confirm that American citizens are not subject to indefinite military detention at the order of the president — Congress punted.

After a debate in which key members seriously contemplated empowering the president to “Gitmo-ize” Americans suspected of terrorist activity, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 leaves the question open. Maybe he can, maybe he can’t, so let’s let the courts sort it out.

The legislation is ready for President Obama’s signature, the president having caved on his earlier veto threat. Happy Bill of Rights Day!

It could have been even worse. An earlier version of the bill would, according to one of its cosponsors, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., have allowed the president to use the U.S. military to seize American citizens on the home front and ship them to Guantanamo.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., cheered the provision, because it would “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield.” He added that “I believe our military should be deeply involved in fighting these guys at home.”

(NYT) — For nearly three years, Republicans have attacked Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on national security and civil rights issues. For months, they have criticized him over a gun-trafficking investigation gone awry, with dozens of leaders calling for his resignation. Last week, more than 75 members of Congress co-sponsored a House resolution expressing “no confidence” in his leadership. [...]

Senators Who Love the Government But Hate America by Scott Lazarowitz

December 14, 2011 1 comment

Within days after my article on due process and presumption of innocence, the U.S. Senate voted to empower the U.S. military to apprehend and detain indefinitely anyone in America, based on the whim of the soldier or military commander, and it will probably eventually include any armed agent of government including local police. As Jacob Hornberger noted, this new provision will codify the U.S. as just another one of many dictatorships throughout world history.

(Col Sellin) Members of Congress Cower or Collaborate, As Obama Prepares his Race and Class War| The Post & Email

December 13, 2011 8 comments

…..To further undermine the American military readiness, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), along with 91 other senators, approved the 926-page Defense Department authorization bill that included a provision to repeal the military’s ban on sodomy and bestiality.

When future historians study the sunset of the American republic, they will shake their heads in disbelief, knowing that Obama could have been removed from office at any time, if only members of Congress had not been stupid, corrupt or cowardly.

Obama is not a natural born citizen and he has never been eligible for the office of President. See the explanation here and here.

National Defense Authorization Act. (Liberty end)

Under the ‘worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial’ provision of S.1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which is set to be up for a vote on the Senate floor this week, the legislation will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who supports the bill.

The bill was drafted in SECRET by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), before being passed in a closed-door committee meeting without any kind of hearing. The language appears in sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA bill.

Controversy over whether or not Americans are exempt from a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act bill, set to be voted on this week by the Senate, which defines the the entirety of the United States as a battleground in the war on terror, has been addressed by Republican Congressman Justin Amash, who warns that the bill does apply to U.S. citizens.

If You Thought Police Brutality Was Bad … Wait Until You See What Congress Wants to Do Next Week

Washington’s Blog

Sunday, November 27, 2011

The police brutality against peaceful protesters in Berkeley, Davis, Oakland and elsewhere is bad enough.

But next week, Congress will vote on explicitly creating a police state.

The ACLU’s Washington legislative office explains:

The Senate is gearing up for a vote on Monday or Tuesday that goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans. The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself.

***

The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world.

Senate Moves To Allow Military To Intern Americans Without Trial 1402565016 705d95495b

The Senate is set to vote on a bill next week that would define the whole of the United States as a “battlefield” and allow the U.S. Military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial.

“The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself,” writes Chris Anders of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Failure by Congress’ debt-cutting supercommittee to recommend $1.2 trillion in savings by Wednesday is supposed to automatically trigger spending cuts in the same amount to accomplish that job. But the same legislators who concocted that budgetary booby trap just four months ago could end up spending the 2012 election year and beyond battling over defusing it.

Welcome to Boston, Mr. Rumsfeld. You Are Under Arrest

Welcome to Boston, Mr. Rumsfeld. You Are Under Arrest

Welcome to Boston, Mr. Rumsfeld. You Are Under Arrest:

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has been stripped of legal immunity for acts of torture against US citizens authorized while he was in office.

The 7th Circuit made the ruling in the case of two American contractors who were tortured by the US military in Iraq after uncovering a smuggling ring within an Iraqi security company. The company was under contract to the Department of Defense. The company was assisting Iraqi insurgent groups in the “mass acquisition” of American weapons. The ruling comes as Rumsfeld begins his book tour with a visit to Boston on Monday, September 26, and as new, uncensored photos of Abu Ghraib spark fresh outrage across Internet. Awareness is growing that Bush-era crimes went far beyond mere waterboarding.

Torture Room, Abu Ghraib

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters in 2004 of photos withheld by the Defense Department from Abu Ghraib, “The American public needs to understand, we’re talking about rape and murder here… We’re not just talking about giving people a humiliating experience.

We’re talking about rape and murder and some very serious charges.” And journalist Seymour Hersh says: “boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has.”…………..

Congress Pushing McConnell Obama-as-Dictator Plan Behind the Scenes?| The Post & Email:

“It’s as if all of our elected representatives in the House and Senate have either lost their collectivist minds or are being paid–under the table–more than We-the-People would have ever dreamt. Senator McConnell–as Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Lugar, etc.–has long acted and voted as a totalitarian ruler. Therefore he, all of the Marxist-Leninist Democrats (which means ALL Democrats) and RINOs (Democrat plants in the Republican Party) apparently decided long ago that they would go through a Kabuki-styled dance pretense and then turn over all power pertaining to the USA economy to Dictator-in-Chief Obama.

The rumors that Boehner had been meeting in secret with Obama (against the American people) on a “Plan C” to combine the House plan and the Senate’s ideas for a dictatorship now appear to be accurate. Again, Mr. Limbaugh was correct.”

In search of the ‘Obama doctrine’

March 23, 2011 Leave a comment

…Yet after 800 words, the eloquent Rhodes offered nothing as compact or pithy as the “Bush doctrine” Obama ran against in 2008, a black-and-white commitment to supporting democratic movements and using unilateral American firepower to back them when necessary.

That difficulty in succinctly describing the intellectual framework for Obama’s approach to U.S. foreign policy and national security issues has long bedeviled anyone trying to impute a concrete agenda from Obama’s soaring pronouncements about supporting democracy and fostering international human rights.

Republicans, especially the neo-conservatives who gave enthusiastic support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq, have sought to paint Obama’s nuanced approach as fundamentally weak. “We used to relish leading the free world. Now, it’s almost like leading the free world is an inconvenience,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Fox News Sunday…………………….

Republicans Move to Block Ron Paul from Monetary Policy Subcommittee Chair

December 4, 2010 1 comment

RELATED: Stop the John Boehner scam: Give Ron Paul monetary subcommittee chairRon Paul will not head up the House’s monetary policy subcommittee if John Boehner has anything to say about it.

Republicans Move to Block Ron Paul from Monetary Policy Subcommittee Chair onepixel Republicans Move to Block Ron Paul from Monetary Policy Subcommittee Chair paulbon “Five GOP leadership aides, speaking anonymously because a decision isn’t final, say incoming House Speaker John Boehner has discussed ways to prevent Paul from becoming chairman or to keep him on a tight leash if he does,” reports Bloomberg.

“If Boehner, who will help determine who gets to chair subcommittees as early as Dec. 8, rejects Paul, he may have to contend with thousands of grassroots supporters and dozens of younger lawmakers who see Paul as a hero.”Boehner and the establishment Republicans rode to victory last month on the shoulders of the Tea Party movement. Prior to the election, Tea Party activists in Maine, Colorado, and Utah focused on abolishing the Federal Reserve.

Some predicted that if Republicans were to sweep the House they would become much more confrontational with the Federal Reserve.

“The popularity of Tea Party candidates in U.S. elections could spell renewed efforts to curtail the power and independence of the Federal Reserve, which has been cast as an emblem of big government overreach,” Reuters reported in late October.

Many establishment Republicans agree with senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina who insists the Tea Party and its vision of less government has no long-term vision or prospects for political viability.Instead of dismantling the Federal Reserve, establishment Republicans have called for reforming the private bankster cartel masquerading as a government agency supposedly answerable to the American people.

On Tuesday, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. and Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind. called for Congress to change the Fed’s “dual mandate” now requiring it to promote both price stability and full employment and instead focus on keeping inflation low and not worrying about reducing unemployment.“It is time that we work to clarify the mandate of the Federal Reserve,” said Corker, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, in a statement announcing his support for the change. “Providing our central bank with a clear and explicit focus on keeping inflation low will serve America better than the broader mandate approach we have today,” the National Journal reports.

Graham: Obama is taking over ‘most of society’

October 18, 2010 Leave a comment

CBS: FACE THE NATION

Graham: Obama taking over ‘most of society’Sen. Lindsey Graham R-S.C. accused President Obama of “turning his agenda over to the most liberal people in the House,” and pointed out that few Democrats are campaigning on the Democratic health-care bill.

“Most Democrats in swing states are running against Nancy Pelosi and against the Obama takeover of most of society,” Graham said.The South Carolina Republican predicted that there will be more bipartisanship in 2011, particularly on extending the Bush-era tax cuts. He defended his friend, Sen. John McCain R-Ariz., who took the unusual step of harshly denouncing a Senate colleague — Sen. Barbara Boxer D-Calif. — at a recent campaign rally for Carly Fiorina. “I think John is reacting to an agenda that he thinks has really been overreaching,” Graham said.

“It is different. The Senate is different now.”Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and GOP strategist Liz Cheney got into a heated discussion about President Obama’s recent accusations that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is funding attack ads with money from overseas donors.

“It’s not fair and it’s an abomination and a shame that he’s attempting to chill first amendment rights,” Cheney said.

The Petraeus Diary

THE PETRAEUS DIARY


by Dr. W.R. Marshall, Ph.D
September 15, 2007
NewsWithViews.com

http://www.newswithviews.com/Marshall/wr2.htm

During the weeks that led up General David Petraeus‘ Surge Report he kept a diary. We’ve recently secured a copy of these writings from an inside source at the White House. What appear today are exclusive excerpts from his diary made during the week before his appearance on the Hill. (In the spirit of full disclosure, we did pay for the diary, although no cash was exchanged. It cost us two boxes of Milk Bones and a Bin Laden chew toy.)

Sept 4 Tuesday
3:30pm: Just got another call from the C in C. You’d think he’d have something better to do than call me twenty times a day, but I guess wandering around the White House all day gives him a lot of free time. He told me for the hundredth time that I’m a “good guy.” There was an embarrassing silence after that, until I told him he was good guy too. I’m pretty sure Larry Craig is gay—not that there’s anything wrong with that. 10:30pm: C in C called and asked me what kind of dog I like. He said he likes Cocker Spaniels and giggled when he said “cocker.”

Sept 5 Wednesday
6:30am: Just got off the phone with Cheney—is it me, or does he look the same as he did during Bush I? He said he was sending over new pages, and then started yelling at someone in the room about closing the curtains before sunrise. When he came back on the phone he wanted assurances that I wouldn’t fold under the pressure of questioning. Who does he think I am, a Democrat? I told his draft dodging candy ass not to worry about it. He cackled—that was a little scary.

11:30am: The new rugs arrived from that Dora Market I set up at Baghdad. They were cheap at twice the price—because it’s not my money. Funny thing is, that cracker Lindsey Graham thinks he got a good deal on the rugs when he was there. How’d he put it, “I jewed them A-rabs down.” I guess he didn’t know about the $2500 we slip the vendors weekly to keep their shops open. Potemkin village my ass, money talks, b.s. walks.
