Subject: Buy outs, pay off, and professional scams

I found it interesting that the banks and vehicle manufacturers begged congress for more money, in the millions. I recently lost a job of nearly two years due to our economic situation. If I asked Congress for help, is it possible that I would get any? Oh that's right. I'm not some powerful financial corporate institution or almighty vehicle manufacturer. I'm just one of the taxpayers. A struggling single mom of two living breathing human beings who have a future of their own. silly me, whatever was I thinking?

America's Farewell Letter to George W. Bush 'From Merica to George' On Looking Back and Connecting the Dots by Loren Adams November 26, 2008

To my unfaithful husband, George:

Guess what? I was clearing coat pockets before taking your suit to the cleaners the other day and found that little letter you wrote six years ago to Tony. Yeah, that one. You know, where you explained you had to pull the wool over my eyes in order to arrange a little tryst on the side. You Jerk!

You wrote Tony, "I've got to fix the intelligence around the policy so Merica doesn't find out my true intent to screw Erica to grab her inheritance -- Gotta make it look like Erica was the one who seduced me, not the other way around, in case Merica finds out."

You cheating, conniving, lying son of a b**ch!

I trusted you. After the accident September 11, the kids and I put complete confidence in you. All the neighbors rushed to our side.

But what did you do with that good will?

You cheated! You schemed! You squandered our savings and threw us into bankruptcy!

Looking back, I now know what you were up to, George. It took my discovering that little letter to open my eyes to the bigger picture. Now I see how you are, you lying piece of s--t!

September 11 was no accident, was it? Weren't you in business 30 years before with the guy who crashed into us? What's his name -- Ben Ladyman? What a strange coincidence he would happen to be driving recklessly in a part of town not his own. How much did you collect from the insurance policy?

Who profited? Only you, of course. And then you had the nerve to call it "My trifecta," remember? For a brief moment I was puzzled why you described that awful accident as "MY TRIFECTA." But even then I foolishly went back to believing you because we were in such deep crisis. In hindsight, you had no concern for our security -- only for your own and how the incident would benefit you personally. Maybe I should call the insurance company to report fraud.

There were little hints along the way, but I was so naive -- too blinded by trust. And you used religion to cover your evil ways like a pedophile priest hiding an insatiable raunchy appetite. You claimed to be "born-again," but it was more like "porn-again" -- given you cursed like a sailor and fornicated with everyone in sight. You damned hypocrite!

BE WARNED: Now those obscure hints of past misdeeds are resurfacing and I'm connecting the dots.

When did you start planning an affair with Erica? Eight years before, if I recall.

And what about Irene? You thought I didn't know about her either, did you? I understand you also plan to seduce and plant the big one on her soon. Yeah, I can google and read, George. Your best buds (the PNAC) were stupid enough to put your plans on their website.

And after Irene, it's Celia. And after Celia, it's Venicia. And after Venicia, it's Korene. George, it'll never end because that's the way you wanted it.... a huge harem with my unfaithful husband's seed spread all over the world like a giant orgy, you filthy tramp!

Yes, I'm also angry with myself for ever believing you.... for not observing the warning signs along the way.... how you protected your business partner, Ben Ladyman, after the accident -- even though you promised you'd "smoke him out" no matter what.... how you paid the police under the table to look the other way while your friend Ben escaped to the hills.

So, George, I've filed for divorce. You've not only been unfaithful, you've squandered the family fortune (what little is left of it), you've ruined our name, you've written hot checks, you've screwed people all over town, and, in summary, you've made our home a living nightmare. It's inevitably going to come back to bite someone in the ass. Payback is hell, and because of you we're in the process of losing the house, car and savings we had stored up for Junior's college.

I don't know how to put this diplomatically. Just GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE. You've got 'til January 20. I've already packed your things. They're scattered all over Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the house. I suggest you pick them up before the next tenant runs them over with his big moving van.

It'll be the biggest celebration in my life to see you gone -- better than a hundred birthdays and a thousand Christmases. My wish for you is that you'll suffer as much as you've caused others to suffer.

Your ex-wife, Merica

Subject: Jeb Bush tries to cover up corruption w/ a Senate run

From:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories...

"In an interview with Politico immediately after November’s election, the former governor said the Republican Party should take four primary steps to regain favor with voters: show no tolerance for corruption..."

This is almost funny; almost: "Show no tolerance for corruption," huh. Well, that would mean he wouldn't run. (And yet, he is probably the one who ordered Martinez not to run again.)

Well, Chambliss of Georgia won, and won big, by a wider margin than most thought he would. Why? Well, Georgians are still Georgians, that’s why, and regardless of the closeness of the Nov 4th election in Georgia, it’s not like half the state suddenly looked at itself in the mirror and declared Holy Moses, we need a reform. Nope. Back on November 4th, thousands of people who never, ever, ever go to the polls, decided to do so just once. That means once. Thousands of people who normally believe that most politicians lie, went to the polls to support one name, to give him one chance, and hope, hope, hope, that, at least once, this Obama person is not a complete total liar like the rest. Yes, they showed up once.

And this other guy in the run-off election? Hmmm. Jim Martin who? So then, would you like to see those first-timers, first-hopers appear in numbers again? Would we like to see a real democratic revival happen as more than a one-shot deal? Would it be nice if all those stay-at-homes who appeared ONLY for the Obama Show actually become regular voters? They obviously didn’t show up for Jim Martin, so will they show up in 2010, or in 2012?

They will, but only if Obama does something very special with this once-only opportunity. We won’t see those voters again if Obama keeps picking warmed-over Clintonites for Cabinet posts. We won’t see them again if Obama follows the same Not-as-Republican-as-the-Republicans policies enacted by Clinton. We won’t see them again if Obama fails to invest in cities, in education and public infrastructure. And we won’t see them if Obama’s health care plan is too timid, too little and too late. What will we see? Sarah Palin sworn in as President in January 2013.

"And now what sort of world?"

Subject: Saxby "Shameless" Chambliss....John Conyers, etc.

This morning in Atlanta I voted against Saxby Chambliss for the US Senate. Unfortunately, Georgians rarely return to the polls for run-off elections. Also, Georgia is still a red-neck, racist state. Once you leave metro-Atlanta, you are often in very conservative bigoted territory. Saxby is such a bigot that he played to his targeted (still fighting the civil war) audience. Some of you may remember the vicious lies that Chambliss used on Max Cleland. Well, he did the same to poor Jim Martin....called him everything except a child of God. If there is a hell, Saxby will be there with Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. (Satan had better watch his back because they will truly try and take over!) Michigan Rep. John Conyers was in Atlanta yesterday to support Saxby Chambliss' opponent, Jim Martin. I had an opportunity to speak to him on a radio call-in show. I asked the congressman if it's still possible to indict Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and other Bushies for leading this country into an unjust war. His reply: " Yes there is. There's a study being put together in the congress on the imperial presidency which documents the many problems that challenged the constitution that the president engaged in. (His definition of torture; the fact that the war itself was based on either serious misinformation or deliberate outright lies and a lot of other things along the way). The answer to your (my) question is yes".

I next suggested that while the Democrats are in control of congress that there should be an investigation of voting irregularities. I mentioned that there have been whispers of vote tampering via the Diebold machines here in Georgia. In his reply, Rep. Conyers asked that anyone who has knowledgeable reports of election irregularities should feel free to call or write him in Washington because they already have jurisdiction over the department of justice which includes the voting rights section. He said that in the past they have done an unusually poor job of protecting people in their right to vote which includes unusally long lines. ("To tell a person that you have a right to vote, but you have got to stand in a line for 3 or 4 hours is abridging and curtailing that right. We are convinced that in a lot of cases things are made unusually difficult and complicated and sometimes intentionally so as to keep the vote down." He went on to say that there are two kinds of people in government: One wants to keep the vote down and the other wants everybody that's eligible to be able to cast their votes and have them counted.

Meanwhile, will everyone continue to keep Obama prayed up? Since I still live in proximity to followers of Limbaugh/Hannity/Saxby Chambliss, etc. I KNOW that Obama needs our constant prayers.

Subject: The Republicans Win Their Forty-First Senate Seat

"There goes our chance for a Democratic supermajority?"

"No matter."

"What about the fact that President-elect Obama, rather than appointing the tried and true whatshisname to be Secretary of such and such Department, chose so and so instead?"

"No matter?"

"What matters?"

"Change."

"Based on?"

"Yes we can."
