Yep, There is so much in this story that revives a lifetime of experience in coping with sneaky people. The Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Rove Group hated to cede the White House To Barack Obama. Their venomous torpor seems to have awakened in Cambridge without fingerprints or a trail. Hallmark of the Machiavellian disciple, blameless yet guilty. Newscorp will pick-up the drumbeat, Lou Dobbs is using a Birth Certificate to distract the Health Care Debate. Can you see other acts of Social Sabotage going on? It is Terrible but, we are the Adults now and this madness has 2500 years of myth making experience. Fortunately there are our ambitious energetic offspring who have the benefit of ample records, deft organization skills with their futures at stake. It's just a hope that Together we can nip this injustice in the bud, while realizing the opposition does not care about right or wrong, it only cares about dominance with impunity.

A year ago I woke up from a craniotomy, Paralyzed on my left side and alive.

Even though Today is my anniversary and I am recovering use of my left side.

I am as happy to be here to support Professor Gates & President Obama in a cause for Honesty that has as much purpose as me staying alive.

And the Band Played on

Peace,
