But What About My Job, Mr. Warmonger, Sir?

http://medienkritik.typepad.com/blog/2004/08/but_what_about_.html


The staff of ver.di, Germany’s largest service-sector union and the largest independent, individual trade union in the world, is worried. Its leaders now realize that there won’t be enough warmongers around to adequately support members’ Socialist way-of-life. They rightfully “fear” that the planned withdrawal of tens of thousands of US military personnel and their dependents from Germany will result in thousands of lost union jobs, particularly in areas surrounding affected bases and installations.


“But…warmongers?” You ask. Well sure, that is exactly how ver.di’s chairman, union kingpin Frank Bsirske, described the American government and military just last year. And that wasn’t all Mr. Bsirske had to say on behalf of the union and its members about the United States...

As I have said, the talk of moving the 1 AD out of Wiesbaden has been going on since even before 9-11.

McCain for the Republican nominee!

Because revenge seems to be such a huge part of Bush's repetoire, he's scary as Hell (well for that reason and a slew of others.) If someone like McCain were in his place, at least we'd know he honestly believed in what he was doing and not just trying to "smoke" his real and imagined enemies. Can you imagine McCain running the kind of campaign Bush is running? Oops, sorry, I seem to have gotten off track.....

This has been in the works for some time. 9-11 delayed it, and Kerry is, characteristically, firmly

Speaking of warmongers. Someone sent me a list entitled Personality Traits of Alcoholics...it sounds very much like the personality of our First Warmonger....
