Was it Palin, or was it the daughter that was pregnant?

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/30/121350/137/486/580223

Palin's supposed to have had child #5. However, this page has beauceau pix that do NOT show a pregnant governor...but they DO show what decidedly looks like a governor's pregnant 16-year old daughter.
I suppose the question arises, it is any of our business? Well, it seems that in all things politic, you don't have a private life. You have to be willing to have your sexual habits and family life exposed to the world, thanks to right-wing Bible thumpers.
So, since McCain is the right-wing choice, let's examine Palin a bit more closely. Read the page and then YOU decide who had the baby. I'm posting two of the pix here, but there are more pix and a whole lot more "suspicious circumstances" enumerated on the dailykos page.

Here's the governor, supposedly 7 months pregnant.

Here's a family picture...notice any suspect bulging in the daughter's belly (on the right)?
I rest my case.


And since we're talking about McCain, would I vote for him? My answer is a decided NO and after his choice of Palin, it's even a more forceful NO!!! He's too old and could die at any moment. She's way too inexperienced. She was mayor of a small town and now has been governor for all of 2 years, and that's the totality of her political career. There's not a chance in hell that I would risk having this woman serve as our president. Hell, she's not even a good liar.

The Secret Deal For Iraq's Oil

By Jason Leopold
The Public Record
Friday, August 15, 2008

Four months before the United States invaded Iraq, the Department of Defense was secretly working with Vice President Dick Cheney's old company, Halliburton Corp., on a secret deal that would give the world's second largest oil services company total control over Iraq's oil fields, according to interviews with Halliburton's most senior executives.

Previously undisclosed Halliburton documents obtained by The Public Record confirm that controlling the world's second largest oil reserves was a top priority for the Bush administration. Additionally, the deal between the Department of Defense and Halliburton unit Kellogg, Brown & Root to operate Iraq's oil industry saved Halliburton from imminent bankruptcy.

WAR WITH IRAN IMMINENT: Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran

Thursday, August 7, 2008
Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran

Be sure you go to the actual URL and read the full list of the war ships that are on the way.
Then bend over and kiss your derrière goodbye.

Operation Brimstone ended only one week ago. This was the joint US/UK/French naval war games in the Atlantic Ocean preparing for a naval blockade of Iran and the likely resulting war in the Persian Gulf area. The massive war games included a US Navy supercarrier battle group, an US Navy expeditionary carrier battle group, a Royal Navy carrier battle group, a French nuclear hunter-killer submarine plus a large number of US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates playing the "enemy force".
The build up of naval forces in the Gulf will be one of the largest multi-national naval armadas since the First and Second Gulf Wars. The intent is to create a US/EU naval blockade (which is an Act of War under international law) around Iran (with supporting air and land elements) to prevent the shipment of benzene and certain other refined oil products headed to Iranian ports. Iran has limited domestic oil refining capacity and imports 40% of its benzene. Cutting off benzene and other key products would cripple the Iranian economy. The neo-cons are counting on such a blockade launching a war with Iran.

The large and very advanced nature of the US Naval warships is not only directed at Iran. There is a great fear that Russia and China may oppose the naval and air/land blockade of Iran. If Russian and perhaps Chinese naval warships escort commercial tankers to Iran in violation of the blockade it could be the most dangerous at-sea confrontation since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The US and allied Navies, by front loading a Naval blockade force with very powerful guided missile warships and strike carriers is attempting to have a force so powerful that Russia and China will not be tempted to mess with. This is a most serious game of military brinkmanship with major nuclear armed powers that have profound objections to the neo-con grand strategy and to western control of all of the Middle East's oil supply.

How LOW can this administration go? Low enough to kill your children to start up another war!

To Provoke War, Cheney Considered Proposal to Dress Up Navy Seals As Iranians And Shoot At Them (full info at URL)
By Faiz 31 Jul 2008
Speaking at the Campus Progress journalism conference earlier this month, Seymour Hersh... revealed that Bush administration officials held a meeting recently in the Vice President‚s office to discuss ways to provoke a war with Iran... Hersh explained that, during the meeting in Cheney‚s office, an idea was considered to dress up Navy Seals as Iranians, put them on fake Iranian speedboats, and shoot at them. This idea, intended to provoke an Iran war, was ultimately rejected:
HERSH: There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don‚t we build -- we in our shipyard -- build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.

And...like...why in the hell are we looking for ideas on how to start up another war? Is this constitutional? Is this legal?
Is it time to oust an administration that sits around and looks for ways to start up wars, instead of dealing with real issues that real Americans have, like the price of filling up their gas tanks?

Sexual assault in military 'jaw-dropping,' lawmaker says

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A congresswoman said Thursday that her "jaw dropped" when military doctors told her that four in 10 women at a veterans hospital reported being sexually assaulted while in the military. (full info at URL)

A government report indicates that the numbers could be even higher.
Rep. Jane Harman, D-California, spoke before a House panel investigating the way the military handles reports of sexual assault.
She said she recently visited a Veterans Affairs hospital in the Los Angeles area, where women told her horror stories of being raped in the military.
"My jaw dropped when the doctors told me that 41 percent of the female veterans seen there say they were victims of sexual assault while serving in the military," said Harman, who has long sought better protection of women in the military.

Why you really DON'T want offshore oil drilling!!

Oil Companies Escape Billions in Royalty Payments to Americans; Drilling Expansion Will Enrich U.S. and Foreign Corporate Freeloaders (full info at the url)

A bureaucratic oversight has allowed 24 oil companies to avoid more than $1.3 billion in royalties for the privilege of extracting oil and natural gas from U.S. territory in the Gulf of Mexico - with foreign companies responsible for 55 percent of that total. But this $1.3 billion in forgone royalties pales in comparison to the $60 billion that Americans stand to lose in royalty revenue over the life of these leases. And if Congress repeals the moratorium on Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) drilling that has existed since 1982, these freeloading oil companies will be eligible to bid on new leases, providing them with more record profits while American families are left holding the bag. These 24 companies have posted a combined $365 billion in profits since 2006.

MAJOR DISCOVERY FROM MIT: SOLAR REVOLUTION COMING!!!

THIS IS IT! THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR! SCIENTISTS NOW CAN STORE SOLAR ENERGY TO BE USED WHEN WE NEED IT. THIS WILL CHANGE OUR WORLD!!

Scientists mimic essence of plants' energy storage system. (full info at the url)

In a revolutionary leap that could transform solar power from a marginal, boutique alternative into a mainstream energy source, MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.

Until now, solar power has been a daytime-only energy source, because storing extra solar energy for later use is prohibitively expensive and grossly inefficient. With today's announcement, MIT researchers have hit upon a simple, inexpensive, highly efficient process for storing solar energy.
