Politics as Usual

It may be social, but it ain't secure
And it's only 'social' in that there'll be a whole lot of people in the same leaking craft.
For quite a while I've been trying to find some common ground for both the extreme 'right wingers' and we poor fools who believe that the way one can tell that ole 'dubya' lies is 'cause we see his mouth open.
I think I’ve found it.
I just read, off Reuters, an article by Steve Holland. Check it out. 2nd page, 3rd paragraph. I quote:
“Under the plan, future growth benefit increases for wealthier people would be limited by tying growth in benefits to prices rather than wages. Benefits to low-income people would remain tied to wages and stay the same.”But, and correct me if I’m wrong, doesn’t that still leave Georgie’s big corp. buddies in control? Who controls prices? Who controls wages?

Where is Southern Honor, John Warner?
Well, it is Spring. Spring is the time when
southerners plow horse manure into their gardens.
It was Spring last year when the detainee abuses came
to light, with more and more from all over popping up
on a regular basis. No need to go into it here - you
all can remember just fine.
Do you remember when, among others, John Warner (rep.
senator, Virginia) and Lindsey Graham (rep. senator,
South Carolina) promised that even onto the highest
level, those at fault would be held accountable? Do
you remember? I remember!
It would seem that it was just more horse manure being
plowed under.
