Rumors circulating in the hallways in the Pentagon suggest an impending military strike on a new Wal-Mart Supercenter in central Minnesota. This is to prevent the devastation of yet another community.
White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters this morning, "We have to stop it sometime. If not now, when: if not us, who? We've stood by and watched the slave labor products from Communist China get into American homes by way of Wal-Mart. No more.
We watched in horror as the big box monster purchased secret life insurance ("Dead Peasant Policies) on select employees as a source of additional revenue. No, to unethical practices.
Americans have seen community after community suffer an average net loss of 65 jobs when Wal-Mart came to town. No, to unemployment.
We listened as Wal-Mart officials claimed a person can save $2,200 per year by shopping their store. No more whoppers.
Wal-Mart must cease and desist criminal operations. If this does not happen, The Decider will decide when to launch Shock & Awe with the cruise missiles, smart bombs, cluster bombs and bunker buster bombs against the giant retailer. Call it Operation Free Shoppers.
Let's roll."

THE CHINA CONNECTION
Call it a trade mission, it's still a junket. Utah legislators visiting China loosely and vaguely define their trip as one to increase trade between the filthy Communist slave pen with the glorious and moral state of Utah. Actually, it's not our Utah, it's some corporations in Utah. In an ideal republic, business concerns would do their own promoting. But in this modern world, if they can finagle our government to take the time and trouble - and taxpayers' money - to help in making sales, they'll take it.

Mini Thoughts
* Wouldn't it be wonderful? I mean, if Senator Hatch started an amendment to the Constitution to delete a president's right to commute sentences and pardon convicted felons? We have amendments that make less sense. The framers of the law of the land probably had a lapse of reasoning when they wrote in the right of presidential reprieves.
* They shoot gamblers, don't they? (Excuse me: gamers.) A Vegas resident tried to kill himself on the fourth of July, but he missed. Two days later, he opened fire at gamers in the New York New York Casino. His five victims are alive.
* Now the City of St. George and Color Country Community Housing with the Dixie Area Workforce Housing Affordability Committee - DAWHAC - (please keep reading) is handing out down payment money to folks who might otherwise have to wait to buy a home. America's Founding Fathers told us not to monkey with free enterprise and the market place. Alan Gardner, Chairman of DAWHAC, and his government cronies think they know better.
* What will the city get into next? Well, we don't have a space needle here. That would make a for a lot of jobs - most likely for aliens. The politicians must spend, spend, spend the taxpayers" money. It's Law #4, human nature.

EVEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS WANT WAR NO MORE
See how they cut and run. They voted for war, supported it, cussed the peaceniks, and now they see the light long after the public opposition becomes loud. Our leaders misled us. Senators Domenici, Lugar and others were too slow to show. The people had to lead them, and that's not the way it's supposed to work.
~~~
Idle Thoughts
* Do the missing WMD bother you and cause you to lose sleep at night? Me, too. But with me it isn't the mustard gas, germs, or anthrax so much as that damn People Shredder. What happened to that? Did the Russian 18-wheelers drop it off in Syria with the rest of the "100 metric tons" (Rummy's calculation) of destruction. Strange, the way that scary contraption disappeared. Did they look behind the anthrax cartons?
* Too bad Putin wasn't born here. He'd make a good U.S. president. The ex-KGB man knows all of our secrets, plus Russia's. And he appears to think before he speaks. (Always a good sign.)
* Is the actor Fred Thompson running or not? Maybe he's waiting for the rumors about him to sort out. They say he has skeletons in his dressing room. The mean stories (sexcapades) indicate he'd make Bill Clinton look unimpeachable. Here we go again.
* A black church in rural Louisiana pays white folks $5 to worship there. The offer has had many takers. Many of the whites leave happy without accepting the five bucks, even though it's like pennies from heaven.
Help Wanted
Strong man to govern Iraq after Coalition Forces leave. Must be able to keep Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds from fussing with each other. A little tyranny might be necessary. Good pay. Excellent fringe benefits. CIA assistance as needed. (No oil considerations involved.) Coup experience helpful. Call Karl Rove.

TALK RADIO MYTHOLOGIES
With the shining exception of a principled Southern Utah radio talk host, most of the babblers on the air spew myths all day everyday. Mythology Network tells half-truths most of the time but slip in some real whoppers occasionally. Perhaps the slickest legend they (Rush, Sean, Glenn, Ollie, Rusty, Michael S., Michael R., Roger, Mark) are selling is the idea that only their kind can make it in talk radio because the public won't buy anything else.
What would that say about the listening radio public? Isn't it more likely that Rush started the style and the others are copy cats? The pattern is set, and the sponsors fall in line. Notice that the same corporations sponsor most of them.
~~~
Blips
* Albert Gore III turns out to be an inconvenient truth for the former vice president. A son can tarnish a father's reputation. But big Al isn't running anyway, right?
* Ron Paul will pull it off. He's the next White House occupant although no one can see how yet.
* The third party route might do well if Ronnie, The Second, can find a solid vice presidential candidate such as Governor Bill Richardson. Remember: you read it here first.
* Mitt is still being Mitt. That means, all things to all people. This works. Most modern presidents were elected using that strategy. Don't worry about Mitt. Not if he loses. Worry if he wins.
* Did someone say money? Common Sense lists the following billionaires and millionaires who receive farm subsidies from the federal government because they own farms and ranches. Are you seated? They are: David Rockefeller, Bob Dole, Charles Schwab, Scotty Pippen, Ted Turner, and Sam Donaldson.
Overheard
At Slippery Slope Saloon: "When they build the new airport, this town will take off."
At the Only The Lonely lounge: "They'd better install stop lights at the roundabout in Bloomington before somebody gets hurt."

SCOOTER SKATES
Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the top Cheney aide convicted of perjury and sentenced to 30 months in prison, won't have to write that tell-all book now that our president committed one of the foulest acts prescribed by the not-quite-perfect writers of the Constitution. Bush used his presidential powers to commute the perjurer's punishment.
The Dixie Thinker predicted it here back on June 2. A stay in prison offers too much time to write and remember and seethe and embellish (not that he has to do the latter.) Bush can't handle another Paul O'Neil, Richard Clarke or George Tenet singing out of tune. I mean, The Decider's approval rating might go below zero.
~~~
Short Stuff
* The population of the nation of Israel comprises only .001 % of the world's people, but it has the fifth mightiest military force on Earth. That includes nuclear warheads.
* The reign of terror raining on the British people is believed to be connected to "the network." The terrorists were supposed to follow the Brits home, but the soldiers haven't even left Iraq.
So much for that line.
* Is there no decent muckraking news guy or gal in this country who will address the depleted uranium situation? This is tragic, on-going and unacceptable. The Pentagon is in the middle of it, and many leaders are purposely looking the other way. DU maims and kills, quickly and slowly.
* DU and oil are the two unmentionables in Iraq.

THE MEDIA IS BIASED, BUT WHICH WAY?
The War People harp and moan about the news outlets being against the war, wanting us to lose and favoring a cut-and-run policy.
'Wait just a durn minute" on that one. The war stories emanating from Iraq for the past four years have come from reporters embedded with the troops. Each news man or woman has signed a contract with the government requiring them to "follow the direction and orders of the military." Their reports are censored.
The media folks were lax in demanding proof about the WMD threat leading up to Shock & Awe. They were complicit in the false call to war.
Let's not forget the days before the war when the UN weapons inspectors were removed from Iraq by order of the UN. According to Fairness Accuracy in Reporting, the UN action was clearly reported by NBC, ABC, Associated Press, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, NPR, New York Times, Washington Post, and Newsday in 1998. Four years later, every one of those sources reported that Saddam had forced the inspectors out.
Did they forget their own reporting or did they consciously assist the propaganda of the government, and rewrite history to support the Bush administration's war?
Yes, there is a problem finding the truth, but it's not what the War People say.

Shorties
* Russia's Putin is visiting the Bushes in Maine. It's sort of a KGB/CIA get together.
* Mysterious bomb attempts in London will change the course of the so called "war on terror,"
depending on the information learned.
* More money to the schools in Utah! Now we'll see if throwing money at a problem helps in the solution. In this case, we're betting it does.
* Did you see pictures of that 600-feet-long tunnel from a house in Mexico to a house in Arizona? Just another job no American would do. They should keep it open in case we have to get out of here someday.
