Apparently everyone including Fox News now sees what I saw two years ago, namely that George Bush and Dick Cheney will not be President and Vice-President, respectively come Labor Day. Read the link below to see what I've been saying.

I'll have more the say about this later.

HOUSE RESOLUTION
According to John Boehner (House Minority Leader) on Sunday's Meet The Press, he doesn't see many Republican (defections) members voting for the Democratic party's Iraq war resolution. In John's words . . . he kind of mumbled, "I don't look at the numbers" to Tim Russert's question.
Well let's see, there are presently 202 Republican members of the U.S. House. So a 10% defection would be 20 members. The media talking heads are saying 30, maybe 60, definitely 'dozens likely to join vote'. That's . . . well it's a whole lot!
What do you think? I'll publish the defection numbers after the voting, it will tell us who's afraid.
Meanwhile, John Boehner is either (a) a bad liar, (b) poor at math, (c) doesn't know his own members (d) doesn't talk to anyone except Bush.

AN OLD WARRIOR PASSES ON
I was sadden to learn Sunday night that an old acquaintance passed on to the promised land. Coleman Persily and I, among others, worked together some 25 years ago organizing our neighbors around the issue of tenant rights. While we were unsuccessful in our goal - legislating tenant protections - it was remarkable time and learning experience.
Coleman was a colorful, down-to-earth character. A social causes warrior from the old school, Coleman was an unpolished, a get-in-your face kind of activist who never heard of the word nuance. He was more about fighting the fight because the fight needed fought than doing it to win.
Coleman never let his own ego interfere and always displayed a genuine concern for others.
His obituary from the Marin Independent-Journal is below: A special thanks to Gianna Easson for the link.

'JOBS AMERICANS WON'T DO'
Does this phase get your goat like it does mine! There's not many jobs I can imagine that Americans will not do or haven't. Probably the worse job I can imagine is working with nuclear waste - radiation exposure - yet this job attracts people. Why? Maybe it's the pay.

IRAN WAR STARTING SOON !
By my reckoning the Iran War will start sometime in March. I'd guess, if I was a betting man, about the 19th. It's the new moon (dark nights) and the 21st is the spring equinox (equal days/nights). The Bushco machine is thinking a 20-30 day air war can do the trick.
The propaganda machine is almost operating at full capacity. Suddenly Iran is behind/responsible for everything including the mysterious death of Anna Nicole Smith. It seems all bobble-heads, the 'liberal' media and the neighbor's dog is in a hurry to accuse Iran of meddling. More every hour.
