Writing That Transcends Time And Space

This was adapted by Dr. Suess, from one of his childrens' books, Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now; at the request of Art Buchwald. It was published in the Washington Post on July 30, 1974. Nine days later, Richard Nixon resigned.

"Richard M. Nixon will you please go now!

The time has come. The time has come.
The time is now. Just go.
Go.Go!

I don't care how. You can go by foot.
You can go by cow.
Richard M. Nixon will you please go now!
You can go on skates. You can go on skis.
You can go in a hat. But, please go. Please!
I don't care. You can go by bike.
You can go on a Zike-Bike if you like.

If you like you can go in an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO! Please do, do, do, DO!
Richard M. Nixon I don't care how.
Richard M. Nixon will you please GO NOW!

You can go on stilts. You can go by fish.
You can go in a Crunk-Car if you wish.
If you wish you may go
By lion's tale. Or stamp yourself and go by mail.

Richard M. Nixon, don't you know
The time has come to go, go, GO!
Get on your way!

Please Richard M.! You might like going in a Zumble-Zay.
You can go by balloon . . .Or broomstick. Or you can go by camel
In a bureau drawer. You can go by bumble-boat. . . or jet.
I don't care how you go. Just get!
Richard M. Nixon! I don't care how.
Richard M. Nixon will you please GO NOW?
I said GO! And GO I meant . . .
The time had come. So . . .Richard WENT."

Not A Crook

There Are No Secrets

Remember the old days, when it was always considered prudent not to write a message on paper unless it was something one wished to proclaim from the rooftops? And we were occasionally reminded that a piece of paper can last longer than the writer who wrote on it? Can anyone remember the days before national television, when print media ruled? It seems that America has a few people in power who do not remember these things. It also seems as if some of these people either never learned about Richard Nixon, and the Watergate scandal or have forgotten about it. While Watergate wiretapping was unsophisticated compared to today's sources of information and methods of harvesting the same, it is surprising that NSA did not expect anyone to find out about their disregard for the Fourth Amendment rights of all Americans.

It may be time for our President to address the nation about this, and to learn from Nixon's mistakes. The warrantless snooping and unfounded investigations of innocent citizens since 2001 have not significantly reduced the number of occurances of any type of crime, and have not assisted in finding missing persons. In view of the glaring inefficiency of civil rights violations as a form of governance, perhaps it is time to try some transparency and honesty.

 

We Found The Mystery Donor

Remember a couple of days ago, when I posted http://siriunsun.blogspot.com/2011/08/corrupt-repbulicans-already.html ? Well.......we found out who donated. According to Jack Gilliam, of the Associated Press, Edward and Jill Conard, of Boston created the bogus company, Restore Our Future, for the purpose of donating money to Romney's campaign. Would a Democrat be able to do this without a little more attention from Fox News? Somehow, I don't think so.

I will quote the above cited article here,

Created by former aides to Romney, Restore Our Future raised $12.2 million during the first six months of 2011. The outside group is not officially connected to Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, and can receive endless funds from individuals and corporations, thanks in part to the 2010 Supreme Court ruling known as "Citizens United."

"They're raising unlimited money from donors who can only give limited contributions to the candidate himself, and then are spending money directly to support the candidate," said Fred Wertheimer, president of watchdog Democracy 21, which called on the Justice Department and FEC this week to investigate the contribution.

"The whole operation is a sham," he said, "and the sooner we figure out how to do something about this, the better."

Now.........while I despise a lot of the manipulative stunts Republicans pull on the general public, especially in the name of the dominant religion in the United States, and in the name of "family values", (what the hell are they calling "family values", anyway? Mob ties? Agreements with drug cartels?) I actually CAN figure out how to do something about it. But then, I am not owned by a giant media outlet, such as Fox News. I can say whatever I want to say. So I will say it.

Both Morman

Both Republican

Anyone old enough to remember any undesireable patterns here? Come on folks.......use your votes wisely.

Oh....for anyone who isn't aware, the man pictured above in shackles is Warren Jeffs, the Mormon who was recently found guilty of molesting kids in his church, and using his Mormon faith and religion as a means of getting away with it. I am not ready to vote for anyone associated with the Mormon religion, at this point. In my world, "family values" cannot be defined the way Warren Jeffs defines them. Any more then legal donations to a campaign can be defined one way for one political party and another way for another political party.
