RELIGIOUS LOONEY ADVOCATES MURDER Pat Robertson, the Minister/Businessman/Bullshit Artist, and poster child, for the Republican/Conservative/Christian far right, has called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela. Now, before we go any further, let me state that Chavez' demise would not cause me to lose any sleep, much less utter any "Hail Marys" on his behalf. But, Robertson, who professes to be a man of God, one who is so well connected to the Almighty, that he claims he has cured several people of brain cancer, merely by touching them, is acting more like a black ops guy than a Christian Shepard. Oh, by the way, the people he claims to have cured did not know they had brain tumors until Robertson discovered them by using his God given gift of X-Ray vision, shades of Superman. This guy wields a lot of power among his believers, who apparently possess a collective IQ of minus 240, and they vote. Remember too that he is a "Prayer Partner," or "Bible Buddy," of President Bush. Isn't it time we start to categorize his ilk as the worthless charlatans that they are, and demand that our politicians stop bowing down before them, and allowing them to influence their decisions?

DUMB ASS FBI This takes the cake. Here we are in the midst of supposed increased efforts by the Federal Government to protect us from terrorism and we have an illegal alien working for the Immigration and Naturalization service, who was helping other illegals enter the country. The controversial Patriot Act is in place, 90 year-old women in wheelchairs, clutching oxygen bottles, are practically strip-searched at airports, and the FBI no longer runs background checks on applicants for jobs as Border Patrol Agents. Jesus Christ, the dress wearing J. Edgar Hoover must be turning over in his grave! I'm not exactly one of his fans but this wouldn't have happened on his watch. It seems that the whole thing comes down to the FBI having turned the screening of INS applicants over to the Office Of Personnel Management, which to my knowledge has no law-enforcement operatives or experience. A simple check of this guy's phony Social Security number would have revealed him as an illegal but apparently that wasn't done. Maybe the President, congress, the FBI, and the rest of the people charged with our well being should stop worrying about gay marriage, prayer in public schools, medical marijuana, and take note of the real dangers in our country. Here's the story as reported in "SFGate.com." Visit "The Independent Writer" and have a good laugh on Jim Ippolito Thursday, August 04, 2005
RIDICULOUS AMERICAN LAWS Martha Stewart has had her house arrest sentence extended. She must wear her "prison jewelry," the electronic ankle bracelet for an additional 3 weeks for a parole violation. So what did she do to merit the additional punishment, sneak out to buy confectioner's sugar, or a bolt of cotton fabric? I know I'll sleep easier for another 3 weeks knowing that this dangerous criminal is secure behind her homemade draperies and shades. After all this is a criminal who in a moment of anger is likely to throw a misshaped pancake at her kitchen trash can causing her pet cat or dog to ingest an unauthorized treat should the failed food miss its mark. Brutal sex offenders, particularly in the State of Florida, however, will be given break after break by asinine judges, who are guided by asinine laws, enacted by asinine legislators. These monsters will walk the streets freely, without electronic tracking devices, protected by conscienceless defense attorneys who proclaim that they are only following the law. It's time for the laws to be changed, across the entire country. Mandatory minimum sentencing, without parole, should be initiated. I say 20 years for a first offense, more, depending on the exact nature and violence of the crime, and life, without parole, for a second offense.
