2+2 always = 5

The love affair blazes on ..............




I had no idea he was such a Bush .................................. fan. He claims this song is not about Bush, claiming it would be 'too easy to insult bush'. hehe.

I'm in love ...

(We're on. Thats a nice way to start Jonny)

Are you such a dreamer
To put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever
Where two and two always makes a five

I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has April's showers
And two and two always makes a five

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can SCREAM and you can shout
It is too late now

Because...
You have not been!

Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
You have not been paying attention

Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
You have not been paying attention

Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
You have not been paying attention

Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention oohh

I try to sing along
But I get it all wrong
'Cause I’m not
'Cause I’m not

I swat 'em like flies but like flies the buggers keep coming back NOT
But I’m not

All hail to the thief
All hail to the thief

But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not

Don't question my authority or put me in the box
'Cause I'm not
'Cause I'm not

Oh go and tell the king that the sky is falling in

When it's not
But it's not
But it's not
Maybe not
Maybe not

Check out Karma Police. They're what we need for george and dick and condi and the rest of em.

Tampa Will Duke it out but still lose

So they argued with the guy? Did THAT devalue his property? Hardly !!

LOL !!! He made MILLIONS more.I'm to the point now that I could care less that Tampa is broke. They don't seem too broke to send out their freaky fricking employees to harass me. They have plenty of gas for the firetrucks. Gas is expensive. I can only imagine the gas mileage of a firetruck.

Anyhooooooooooo ----- gambling is an 'adult-use' hehe. MORE like LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

I think the ptb in tampa just love to be mean to people. They're real good at it. From the playgrounds to the boardroom --- CORRUPTION ---- IT's HOW WE WIN --- Tampa FL.
I loved this part: "called as witnesses planners and attorneys of the city of Tampa who testified of their constant battles with Joe Redner."

Oh yeah, there ain't NOTHIN like the truth and testimony from a Tampa City Attorney. I give you Julie Brown's (former Tampa City Attorney) campaign's mix ups in several areas such as questionable campaign donations and denying but later being connected to dirty mysterious ads against her opponent.

I have personal ill-gotten-type experience with one City of Tampa Attorney --- remaining unnamed for legal reasons 'at this very moment' ---- dang, one has slipped my mind.

The thing is with Julie: I think if she had just played it straight she might have won. At least maybe the next time. Now she has sealed the deal against her by not being upfront.

(the point is that these people aren't some kind of light of truth --- quite the opposite)

Oh, yeah --- the other one (of MANY) is really a state's attorney: Ms. Pam Bondi who adopted the dog and just won't give it back. Pam -- do the right thing. Barry --- why defend that? If your son lost his dog and someone found and gave it a good home and then your son saw the dog and wanted his dog back wouldn't you want his dog back??? Yes, you would. Don't help Pam Bondi do the wrong thing. Pam??? Come ON !!

************************************************************************************

Then there is Renee Lee. I can't even begin to express my dismay for her 'opinions' and the way she arrived ... (leaving the postie notes on desks about offices not being up to par) How professional !!

************************************************************************************

But, don't worry. We have Ms. McCloud. And soon, we will have big trains whizzing back and forth hither and yon and tall gleaming casinos built on skulls and bones (where my house will used to be)

(oh goody and be a city of the arts just like everywhere else --- is pam (iorio) bored with 'arts' now -- I don't hear much mention of that, anymore??)

Well, but I won't know a thing about that. I'm looking for the best place in the world to live and that's where I'll be.

But, I'll think of you often.

*************************************************************************************

Oh, and three days later Pam Iorio owned up to being related to jessica sierra. (or allowed it to be printed -- thou shall utter NO BAD STUFF about Pam or Pam or Renee Lee but thou shall definitely NOT print any or surprise them, AT ALL)

8 grams is NOT a small amt of cocaine. It's intent to distribute but they had no reason to search her. It's not like she was taking her purse in willingly to up some fellow jailies ... they shouldn't be able to count that against her. I will say that the whole hitting someone with a glass is WRONG.
I can't wait to see if John Fitzgibbons says she's too pretty for this and that. Wow. I'm thinking it ain't too tough to be a defense attorney on those grounds. Ya couldn't use it EVERY time but half the time, maybe ....
**********************************************************************************
UPDATE
Below poster/commenter says that amt. was .8 grams. I read '8 grams and/or small bag' variously in the St Pete Times who I actually rely on for better news. harrumph hehe. BUT, in the Tampa Trib (li_s printed daily) ... it does say (revised Monday posting) Police took Sierra to the Orient Road Jail, where her troubles mounted. There, police searched the singer's purse and found a bag containing .8 grams of cocaine. They slapped her with two more charges: cocaine possession and introduction of contraband into a detention facility. Which I think I would have noticed because pretty quick I started wondering what else they might try to do to her. So Fox 13 has a link to her original charges which did not list an amt. either. I don't really care either way was just wondering about the nature of the charges.
*************************************************************************************

why we do things we do

They can ALL kiss my ass now

Because, baby ---- THIS is the last link in the chain.
So bring on your ... homeless mission and your .... what else was that? LOL !!!

You ain't the only 'church' snappin up property governed by a gambling license .. ain't it just amazin' how that right wing is busy protecting CHRISTIAN INTERESTS and snapping up all the gambling license properties in and around Tampa Bay?? (I refer to the former JaiAlai Fronton)And, all over Florida near as I can tell between flat tires. Oh, also --- I should mention. They stopped letting air out of the tire in lieu of placing a screw in it. Isn't that sweet and mature? So -- I left it at that. Took the pictures but that's why I haven't said anything lately. That was two weeks ago. LOL !!

(sorry I can't tell the whole story right this second but it involves another one of those new people from new york who plunked themselves down in one of the newly designated NEIGHBORHOOD DIVISIONS in Tampa and proceeded to threaten and terrorize people under the guise of 'helping them'. Oh --- maybe no overt threats (i'll have to check I've just ignored him until now and after a bit of time i'll go back to ignoring him AGAIN) .. . just the random call to code enforcement --- messages that you'd get no help from city hall unless through him. LOL !!!!!
And herewith --- a shout out to new yorkers everywhere: I LOVE YA !! I don't blame you for kicking these creepy assholes to the curb. It must smell better in New York, now. You've got plenty left over still. (sorry but you know it's true) and I love New Yorkers ... TRUE new yorkers are THE COOLEST DAMN PEOPLE on the face of this earth. Oh, and when it's BLAZING HOT in Tampa and only a TRUE TAMPA person revels in it I like to think of these assholes doing anything they can to keep cool --- slavering down their ice cream like AN ATTACK (I picture you going at all of life like that and you probably do, it's not too late to change, you're not a bad looking guy -- GET BETTER !!) --- and I like to think of how miserable they are after they stole, connived, manipulated and likely murdered their way into some of the finest and loveliest old homes in Tampa. Yep, I hope you like the heat.

Now, it's a matter of CLEAR public record that ONLY insiders (you know like city and county employees) would have known in the past. You know, unless you count the little people .... WHO KNOW THIS SHIT TOO.

Then, they all came after me with all the shit they have been pulling on me. EVERY dept in the city and county has had a hand in this. Some more than once. Guys like 35 retiring in my wake, due to their criminal acts exposing the City of Tampa and County of Hillsborough to RICO lawsuits. I finally stopped complaining because it seemed sad that so many of them had to slither away to new areas of employment, still harassing innocents no doubt. And my home and my family and my extended family and network of friends and loved ones have all suffered because of these folks' GREED and their drive to keep US from profiting where we stand to profit LARGE.

It's a big, dirty picture.
So --- kiss my ass.

And smart move, too. Making it about SO MUCH MORE than money.

************************************************************************************
None of what you ever did was necessary. I have these two things called ears. When the lies started you just pissed me off. And that's where the problems began. OH, and there is the little matter of you trying to tell me where to live .... very problematic.

You can have this catbox of a penis on the end of the united states. You've RUINED it. No one wants it now but others like you. Keep it. You can have it ALL. Just like you've always known it should be. You looked so much better without the greed. Lost everything cool about you ... and that's something that truly makes me sad.

All that silly shit and just one good honorable person could have had a simple conversation with me.

Is the problem that you don't KNOW any good honorable persons? Yeah, dumbass --- you knew ME. Lucky you. I always had the feeling I was the only decent person that most of you had ever known. I hope something rubbed off on you. I will say it doesn't appear so but the final bell hasn't rung yet, eh??? I have hope for you.

EXCERPT


TALLAHASSEE - A major expansion of gambling in Florida emerged Monday as a possible new piece of the property tax cut puzzle that has defied resolution for two months.

On 30 minutes' public notice, a House council passed a bill that would allow 11 existing gambling sites in Florida to add 1, 000 coin- or token-operated video lottery terminals each.

Three affected sites are in the Tampa Bay area: Derby Lane in St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay Downs and Tampa Greyhound Track. (that's me, you know nine miles from millions and millions)When they built the Boardwalk in Jerz all the property-owners in surrounding area became overnight millionaires. THIS is what all this contempt aimed at me has been designed to prevent. I can see the dog-track from my front yard. Used to work there. Now it's all the gangsters from the hood and NY. Whooo, you go in there they look at ya all shanky eyed. What YOU up to? What YOU UP TO, brother? See, I don't care what they are up to. But me? Oh baby, they CARE what I am up to because I am the key. And the gate-keeper. They CARE til they just about run over each other trying to outdo the stalking and the mean shit to pull on other people. Apparently hoping for a mention. There IS one guy I just REFUSE to mention anymore, AT ALL because he acts desperate. And one who is trying to make the list.... no way, sweetie. AND, there is the one from yesterday. I felt sorry for that ice-cream. I'm a recovering Catholic. We can NEVER recover from the good table-manners and civility. Slow down. The ice cream won't run away. It can't !!
IF you know anyone who lives near a dog or pony track you should be advising them to pick up the property or hang on to it. No problem.
Backed by a coalition of veteran lobbyists, the video lottery idea surfaced at a time when negotiations on property tax cuts are at impasse, with Floridians demanding relief. The new machines would pump at least $500-million in tax revenue into state coffers each year, which adds much-needed flexibility to tax cut negotiations going on right now.

*************************************************************************************

Oh, and is anyone upset about them unleashing gambling on Florida without even a discussion? You should be.
It will never be the same again. More importantly, your wishes and needs have been RUN OVER and it has been made to appear that it was just circumstantial that oohh this gambling thingy just happened to crop up --- LO AND BEHOLD --- right when we needed it. YEAH. Worse than anything I loathe when adults are treated like idiot children by other adults.

Folks -- I said it over three years ago --- they are building Las Vegas here in Tampa. This is the wrong direction for FL and for America.
You'll read some of the same trends here and especially notice the bottom of the article. Gee, I guess Jon Corzine did not make friends here. As well, like FL and most of Tampa their increase has happened again sharply in 2005-06. In fact, although every home in my hood has sold and re-sold four five times in some cases in the last few years some people thought I might believe that ... well, never mind the bullshit they spewed. It went through one ear and out the other. Wrong-headed.

***********************************************************************************
I hope when you look in the mirror you see what you are becoming. Take a long look today. Try to see your soul through your eyes. Please. You won't like what you see. Work to change that. It's not hard. Just try. And love yourself again. It's okay. Your future lies before you and all that shit and so you have money .... wow, that sure has made you happy. I mean every time I look at you I can see how absolutely miserable you are. I used to think it was an act for me but now I see this: you even look that way when you don't know I'm around. I'm sorry. Just make up your mind to change. I'm still here.
"The past is never dead. It's not even past."

IMPEACHMENT BRUNCH AND DINNER

Well, it appears that A-28 was extremely successful. Impeachment's successfully ON the table. It's in the MSM and now it's there to say. Thanks to my hero John Murtha



On Face the Nation he brought Impeachment up several times and the host goes after it and now it's going over the airwaves. This is in response to all of our hard work !

Oh and like I've said in the past, if I can't get him out of there myself I am counting on my friend, David Swanson to do so for me. He's very tenacious and the word 'driven' comes to mind ! You GO, David !!!!! Here's some awesome action in bryn mawr. Where were all of Tampa's progressive bloggers? We NEEDED you. Lots of us went to Miami, others made signs and demonstrated ... just made a bunch of noise. Waking up the sheeple is the key. I love seeing democracy in action. It's not just for US, it's for the rest of the world. They are sitting there watching us put up with this shit --- what must they be thinking? Where the hell can they emigrate NOW? Seriously, we can't let this go on.

I am beginning to wonder if Nancy Pelosi will soon be the first woman President. NOT my favorite idea but I did catch her on Leno the other night (pretty shocking in a meant to happen kinda way because I am generally no where NEAR a tv at that hour) and she impressed me much more than I thought she would. I'm extremely disappointed in her in many ways so .. that was a long road for me to reach impressed. Well, it's one way to skin a cat. What I'm most upset with her over is the first 100 hours. NO ONE mentioned pushing through the Sept.11 2001 agenda giving these police TYPES more millions after the millions they already spent on wine women song and HIGH FUCKING WALLS THAT SURROUND US. I hope all of these people involved in impeachment are very careful so they don't suffer health setbacks or worse.

Even foreign countries are trying to help RID US of this regime. There were impeachment actions in at least a half dozen countries outside of the U.S. YAY AND THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From David Swanson

Thank Murtha for Speaking Up for Impeachment

It looks like our impeachment efforts are making a real difference. Last week, when Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment for Dick Cheney, the Pentagon Post's Dana Milbank portrayed Kucinich as nuts. But if that was Karl Rove's way of trying to scare "respectable" Democrats away from Impeachment, that strategy backfired "bigtime," as Dick Cheney would say. HEHE
On CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) raised the possibility of impeaching the president.
"We've already compromised," Murtha said. "And we need to make this president understand, Mr. President, the public has spoken. There's three ways or four ways to influence a president. One is popular opinion, the election, third is impeachment, and fourth is the purse." Host Bob Schieffer followed up, pressing him on whether impeachment was a serious option on the table. Murtha responded, "I'm just saying that's one way to influence a president."

Murtha may have cleared his comments with Speaker Nancy Pelosi before his appearance, which would indicate that impeachment is back "on the table" where it belongs. But Murtha is going to get a lot of heat for speaking truth to power, and his staff will be inclined to back off. Murtha needs to hear our support and encouragement immediately.
Call Jack Murtha to thank him and ask him to sign onto Dennis Kucinich's bill to begin impeachment proceedings against Vice President Cheney: (202) 225-2065.
____________________

From Jacob Park:
Given the significance that has attached to Nancy Pelosi's claim that
impeachment was "off the table," Murtha would not use that language casually. This
is a major statement that can be seen as a trial balloon to gauge whether the
support of the public is there to actually go ahead with this. Now is to the time to
flood Murtha's office with phone calls and letters to tell him you want it.
Please contact him immediately to thank him for putting impeachment back on the table and to ask him to move forward with the impeachment of Bush and Cheney immediately. (I did and I hope YOU will, too) It takes about six seconds. Please do so.Call Jack Murtha to thank him and ask him to sign onto Dennis Kucinich's bill to begin impeachment proceedings against Vice President Cheney: (202) 225-2065.
Tell the Pollsters: No More Excuses
There is no longer any possible excuse for polling companies' refusal to ask Americans whether they support the impeachment of Cheney or Bush. Articles of impeachment have been introduced in Congress. Prominent Congress Members are discussing the topic on television talk shows. Please go here to ask all the polling companies to start asking the question:

From Ramsey Clark
Ramsey Clark's statement to the media“We have seen that Congress can be moved. The Bush Administration is reeling from its own wrongdoing. The horror its war of aggression has wreaked on the people of Iraq and thousands of U.S. service members must trouble the sleep of every sentient American. The Surge is only adding to the death and destruction.

“All over the country supporters of impeachment are intensifying their efforts. Our focus must be on Congress, and the priorities of full troop withdrawal and the impeachment of President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other culpable officials within the Administration.

“In recent weeks, tens of thousands of people have sent letters or called their elected representatives in Congress. On the statewide and local level people have been demanding local officials take a stand. Large scale pro-Impeachment demonstrations took place on March 17 at the Pentagon and in more than 1,000 other protests marking the 4th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war.

“The crimes committed by President Bush and Vice President Cheney are numerous. The Bush Administration’s war of aggression, its assault on human dignity at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, demeaning the Geneva Conventions and Habeas Corpus, invading the privacy of any American it chooses, corrupting the rule of law in the Department of Justice and others.

“President Bush and Vice President Cheney should be held accountable as it is proscribed in the Constitution, Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office or impeachment for and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

“The authors of the Constitution were serious about impeachment and intended that the carefully prescribed procedures and principles of impeachment written into the text be faithfully executed. We, the growing impeachment movement that is sweeping this country from one end to the other, will make the members of the House of Representatives become as serious and courageous about impeachment as the Founding Fathers were.”
