Socialist's Ask:
"Can 'We' Afford Bush Tax Cut?"
I love how the socialist-bleeding-heart government-can-solve-anything journalist's wail this insane question. Of course the "WE" they talk about is our Federal Government. The most extravagantly mismanaged litter box of an elephantine organization to ever grace God's green earth. Actually the "WE" is the incredibly small percentage of special interest groups and huge corporations that may 'suffer' from the actual 5.6% cut in tax revenues over the next ten years. To bring this supposedly unaffordable less than 6% slash in federal revenue collections into focus is to understand that they will be spending five less alloy pennies per one hundred cents over the next decade. And, even at that, according to David Boaz, writing for the CATO Organization, they will still collect five trillion, six hundred billion dollars ($5,600,000,000,000) more than they now plan to spend. I don't know about your income situation, but I've seen my household gross dollars nose-dive by over 40% since 2001. Your Mr. Wonderful's typical week, since July of 2002, comprises of 48 hours which results in one day off per each seven days worked. And while I'm thankful the O.T. is available, occasionally my work-week shoots all the way up to 64 hours, and has, at times, included over one hundred days straight without a single day off. But my hours pale compared to the awesome Relocated-to-Texas-Missus-W, who, week in and week out racks up 80 to 100 hours. I'm sure many, many of my reader's have been enduring the same income cuts and incredible hours. But yet, while unemployment has hit record highs, and millions of hard working American's, who depend only on themselves and private industry are literally working their asses off (Mr.& Mrs. Wonderful have lost a combined 85 pounds this year) these friggin' socialist journalists are repeating the drivel that liberal Democrat's and Republican's are feeding them about how expensive this tax cut is. They should all be shipped off to Haiti and exchanged for the piano-key black natives whose joyous labors will actually make a needed contribution to this struggling economy.

Anyone May View Your Credit File!
For some reason unknown to your Mr. Wonderful, as of July 1, 2003, the four major credit rating companies, Enovus, Equifax, Trans-Union and Experian, will release your personal credit file to whoever asks for it. You may think you have nothing to hide, but I'm willing to bet that you do not even know all that is in your file. I did not know what was in mine until the local Rolls Royce dealer (or was it Hyundai?) showed me the printout of my own file. To permanently remove your name from these four companies lists they have provided a toll-free phone number for us to call. The number is: 1 888 567-8688. Have your home phone number, your home address and your personal Social Security number handy. It should scare you badly enough that once you give the computer your phone number, it gives you your address. (As long as this service exists you can use it to track down the phone numbers that appear on your Caller-ID display.) Once the message starts, select option #2, then option #3 which will permanently remove your name from these four company's lists. After making your call, you should receive paperwork in the mail confirming your "opt out" choice.

Did the "Zipper Effect" Doom Challenger ?
The Media continues to cash in on the "Tragedy in Space." To keep ratings high they will most likely attempt to stretch out "TiS" coverage until the war in Iraq finally begins. Do you imagine that more than seven soldiers, who are short-stopping the Hitler of the 21st Century, murderer of over one million unarmed citizens, will loose their lives in this war, and receive anywhere near the attention these scientist/astronauts have? Back on the shuttle front, yesterday, the nearly famous Barry Young at KFYI radio, when asked why there weren't procedure's to repair damage to a shuttle while in space, used the analogy of a typical commercial airliner. He pointed out that there are no parachutes or any means of repairing damage to a 757 while in flight either. However, the analogy is flawed in several ways: An airliner costs about $80 million. The Challenger cost $2.1 billion in 1981 dollars (approximately $5 billion in today's dollar.) An airliner carries passengers from a cross section of all the human's on the planet, from worthless security guards to worthless Hollywood stars and starlets. A space shuttle transports into Earth orbit only highly trained individuals (or Democratic Senator's who have stone-walled to prevent the conviction of a crooked President) whose schooling runs taxpayers at least $1 million each. An airliner stays up for a few hours (necessitating any fix to be a quick fix.) A shuttle flight lasts for days, sometimes weeks. An airliner has no means to inspect its exterior skin during flight. A space shuttle has the option of packing a robotic arm that, while in space, can be used to inspect every inch of the surface of the shuttle. An airliner is only closely inspected once every twenty flights, if that often. A space shuttle, in a never ending cycle, is minutely examined for every second three months prior to launch to 18 months after re-entry. The prevailing theory of the cause of the loss of the shuttle Columbia is that an area of the spacecraft's tiles was damaged by a five pound piece of insulating foam sluffed off during takeoff from one of the huge fuel tanks. This piece of foam, traveling faster than a top fuel dragster at the end of a quarter mile run, then struck and exploded against the tiled underside of the left wing. This same underside of the wing must sustain searing temperatures as the shuttle re-enters the atmosphere, belly down, like a lead kite. Anyone who has even been paying cursory attention to the space shuttle program realizes that for decades shuttles have been landing with several of their heat shielding ceramic tiles missing. To this outsider, it appears that NASA was simply crossing their collective fingers hoping that a sufficient number of tiles always remained, preventing a burn-through in any one section of the craft's skin. As I understand it, the "Zipper Effect" occurs when during Mach 18 re-entry (5,000 MPH faster than pre-shuttle vehicles) at temperatures extreme enough to melt high tensile steel, one tile is peeled off followed by the one behind it until like a zipper, all the tiles in a line have torn away and like an open zipper all the contents of the shuttle fall out to be consumed as if it were a falling star.

2 Decade Old, Shuttle Explodes !
This morning as your Mr. Wonderful stood alert at his post he listened again, as he had during the Twin Towers tragedy, as Death's hand reached out again. The Columbia Space Shuttle had disintegrated during re-entry over the Republic of Texas. The billion dollar, twenty two year old shuttle came apart at 207,000 feet while cutting across the sky at 208 miles per minute generating skin temperatures as high as 3,000F degrees. Shortly after 7:00AM Arizona time I was comforting MS. Wonderful in Fort Worth, Texas, as she related how she, while inside her apartment, had heard a loud bang and assumed it to be the towel-heads slam dancing to Allah above her ceiling. After stepping outside she noticed white flakes showering down, tearfully asking me if it could be body parts. Many of the shuttle remains fell on the Texas town of Nacogdoches which is 170 miles east of Waco, Texas with Waco itself being about 90 miles south of Fort Worth. Debris was spread from Burleson, Texas all the way to Hemphill about 30 miles southeast of Nacogdoches. In an attempt to keep souvenir hunters at bay, NASA immediately declared all fragments of the shuttle toxic and deadly to the touch. I wonder how long it will be before shuttle remnants show up on eBay? According to Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language a hero is, 1. a man of distinguished courage or ability admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. Already these individuals are being acclaimed as hero's. I don't mean to be hard hearted, but exactly what did they do to be called hero's? They "touched the face of God" while still alive! Something very, very few Earthlings get to do. They did what they loved, they died doing what they loved and what they trained for many years to do. They were certainly aware of how very dangerous space travel was and they perished in the midst of that knowledge. In fact, as I watched the endless "Tragedy in Space" newsblast on Fox, I heard again and again and again, that the astronauts, for most of their flight, were in a position where they could do nothing to affect the outcome. All they could do was to hang on. There was no opportunity for heroism. Sad. I wonder exactly what 80 scientific experiments these astronauts died for? I'm willing to wager that most of these experiments were in the area of 'basic science' and won't find benefit to the American taxpayer who footed the bill for decades, if ever. And how many of these same scientific experiments will allow private corporations to reap billions of dollars in the future with virtually no cash out of pocket and no investment, because the ignorant taxpayer has been duped into this grand vision of "space travel." Space travel that has been going nowhere for thirty years. We are using the same shuttles built and designed over two decades ago. Would any of us be happy driving a 1981 Chevy or Ford, or worse yet a Chrysler K-car? That's what our government is flying. The same government which denied an American citizen and former Jet Propulsion Lab scientist the possibility of a shuttle flight at any price. Did powerful individuals have something to hide from someone who was no longer beholding to the government-industrial complex that is known as NASA? Why is NASA using the same propulsion systems that Robert Goddard pioneered in the 1930s? And why hasn't NASA improved on the means of re-entry? How many of the hundreds of Shuttle flights came within 16 minutes of ending how Challenger and Columbia did? There are a total of six space shuttles, one is retired, three are flying, and two have exploded. That is not a good record. Of course the complex web of corporations and government employees that controls NASA wants to get the shuttles flying as soon as possible because tens of thousands of employees and stockholders are looking to continue to feed off the trough that is that is filled with our tax dollars. (Remember that when our astronauts needed a zero gravity pen, $100,000 was spent to invent, design and manufacture one. When the Soviet Union's cosmonauts needed a zero gravity pen, they simply used a pencil!) I for one, say times are tough. Since the Cold War has ended and the United States is the only country which has the wherewithal to afford space travel, why do we even have a space program? What benefits today does a multi-billion dollar space program offer to the average American taxpayer who is struggling to make the house payment, the gas payment, the electricity payment, the water bill, tuition and insurance payments while working his ass off and still seeing 50% of his income evaporating into the tax ozone? It's time that the exploration of space is turned over to private enterprise.

State of the Union 2003
Last night, your Mr. Wonderful set his bedside alarm for 7PM in order to wake from my late afternoon nap to watch President G. W. Bush present his 2003 State of the Union Speech. He seemed almost bored until he got to the part about Iraq's non-compliance with 12 years of United Nation pleadings to disarm. To put that twelve years in perspective, recall that Adolph Hitler's attempt at world domination (a k a: WWII) only actively consumed the years from 1939 to 1945. (For you public school brats, that would be six years.)

On the tax cut front, although I read in the W.S.J. that polls indicate "the public" is against tax cuts, President Bush continued proposing to allow productive American's to keep even more of the money they earned. I still cannot imagine what kind of voting-taxpaying-ignorant-dolt-moron-imbecile-potato-head would actually believe that any government could do more good with the money he himself earned than he could. I'm for making all these bastards who believe big government is the answer to all this nation's ills, pony up to the bar and voluntarily foot the gawd-damned bill! How, you ask? By dissolving the system of payroll tax withholding and insisting that American taxpayers instead make quarterly payments on their Social Security, FICA, Medicare, Income and state taxes. Then we will see exactly what percentage of American's actually favor all these tax-fed programs that consume 28 cents of every dollar earned in these United States. Then by relying on what people do, rather than what they say they would do (polling) we would quickly learn what the voters actually down & dirty believe about taxes.

---

Back in the real world however, Congressional Dem's, continue to press on in the Class Warfare front by claiming that G.W.'s G.O.P. tax cuts favor the wealthy over the rest of us. I've heard reports that, under the Bush tax plan, 'millionaire's' (whatever that means) would be allowed to keep $87,000 more of the money they earned. So what? Would letting the government keep this $87,000, to piss away on schemes from solving AIDS in Africa (impossible, because what they have is not AIDS) to spending over $100 million on each Shuttle mission (enriching astronauts, scientists, and government contractors glued to the federal trough tighter than the tiles on the Columbia) make my own paycheck any larger? No. It would only allow our federal bureaucrats (of both parties) to continue their profligate ways of squandering over 65 cents out of every $1.00 they confiscate from those few of us not yet nursing on the Potomac nipple. As a matter of fact, if the millionaire's behind my guard gates had eighty-seven thousand more dollars, I may be getting more than a 1% salary increase this year. Note that President Bush stated a minimum of a 4% increase in government spending for the 2004 budget. Such increases seem out of place, when your Mr. Wonderful, scion of North Phoenix and the Paradise Village township, after selling everything of worth (No! I will not sell my motorcycles) is considering, unloading his home of 26 years and moving to an inexpensive apartment. Meanwhile, our government continues its spending spree unaware and unconcerned that the average American is suffering more than ever under the unjust and crushing burden of city, county, state, and federal taxes, fees, tariffs and assessments that continue to consume nearly one half the bounty of each and every payday.

Saddam Stalls . . .
Andrew Card, White House Chief of Staff, hit the Sunday Talk-Show circuit last weekend. Some of the positions he stated were: That the burden of proof is on Saddam Hussien, not on the U.S. or the inspectors. He stated on Meet the Press, that "Time is running out . . ." Moderator, Tim Russert asked, "A couple of more weeks?" (Until war.) Andrew Card would only say, "Time is running out." Tim Russert referred to a poll that stated 2 out of 3 people wanted U.N. backing. Then Mr.Russert stated that he heard there were ". . . reports of (the U.S.) using nuclear weapons against Iraq." Mr. Card responded that, "If they use WMD they must know . . ." Andrew Card also explained that the aluminum tubes that supporters of Saddam insist are for rockets, are too finely machined, using a very expensive and precise method, to be used for anything but the building of an atomic weapon. Remember folks, it took the Pakistan seventeen years to refine enough radioactive materials for their first A-Bomb.

Watching Fox News Sunday, I learned that there were car accidents being staged to delay the U.N. inspectors. (Just coming up with two vehicles to crash together must have been quite a project.) I discovered that Iraq wouldn't let the U.N.'s U2 spy plane overfly their country and that their military scientists were absolutely refusing to be interviewed by the U.N. team. I heard that buildings facing examination were being emptied out just prior to the arrival of the inspectors. The most likely way the Iraqi's would know in advance where the inspectors were traveling to in this Texas-sized country, was to have gotten that information directly from the U.N. And the U.N. demands our intelligence agencies share secret information with them? Secret information that could get any of our informants killed? And consider if we were to reveal to the inspectors where we know the chemical and biological weapons to be, Saddam would simply relocate them prior to their being discovered and then turn around and use them against our own troops. Reading in the January 27th, 2003 W.S.J., in an article by Robert L. Bartley, that quoted Colin Powell saying that the U.N. inspectors are there to enable Iraq to comply with U.N. Resolution 1441 that Iraq agreed to in November of 2002. But the Iraqi's continue to hem and haw and hide. What are they hiding if not the weapons that the inspector's are searching for? And why do they have these weapons if they don't intend to use them? In the article Mr. Bartley also details the weapons that the United Nations itself estimates Iraq has that have not yet been discovered: 29,984 chemical warheads. 550 howitzer shells filled with mustard gas. 400 biological aerial bombs. 26,000 liters of anthrax - which could fill enough 2 liter Coke bottles that lined end to end would stretch almost two and one-half miles. Consider that less than the amount of salt in a McDonald take out salt package killed five people on the east coast not too long ago and that will give you an idea of how many people Saddam is prepared to kill . . . virtually every man, woman and child on the planet, five times over.

DeMedia Hides Information,
and Aids Saddam's Schemes !
Listener's to Limbaugh heard Monday that the liberal dominated American news media (unlike the journalists in England) have totally failed to mention the fact that that weeks ago, the much heralded, and sleuthy U.N. Inspection team had located, in the drawers of an Iraqi nuclear physicist, blueprints detailing the building of an atomic bomb. Of course, those of you who watched the History Channel special "Saddam's Bombmaker", were already aware that over eleven years ago, due to the typical idiocy expected from government workers, Iraq had in their hands, with a Washington D.C., postmark, copies of the exact blueprints for both United State's manufactured atomic bombs that were detonated over Japan, saving one million lives and adding a pair of 20,000 foot tall exclamation points to the end of World War II. And, as I've mentioned previously, around 1991 the U.N. Inspector's discovered several flatbed trucks trying to escape search and seizure of the round metal plates they were hauling ass with. Turns out these discs are used in the separation of bomb-grade plutonium from radioactive wastes! And while I'm at it, do you recall in the late 1970s when Iraq went to the smelly French to purchase a nuclear reactor? As "Saddam's Bombmaker", Dr. Khidir Hamza, recounted during the aforementioned program, "No one asked the obvious question. Why would a country with the second largest proven oil reserves on the planet, need to build an extremely expensive and complicated nuclear reactor to generate electricity?" Of course, the Israeli's alone, out of all the nation's on this planet, realized that if Saddam had an atomic bomb he would soon use it on Tel Aviv. To delay their own demise, in 1981 Israel sent the Osirak reactor complex the way of The Tower of Babel via a flock of F-16 Eagles. (Oddly enough [nod, nod, blink, blink] several hours prior to the bombing, all but one of the odoriferous Gallic atomic workers had separated from their oily and drape laden employers to step out for an all day and night Brie and Chablis meeting in an oasis a safe distance away.) Something else Dr. Hamza stated as fact, and that was that prior to outbreak of the Gulf War in 1991, Saddam was one year away from completing an atomic device. The doctor also insisted that U.N. Inspector's could never and would never discover Saddam's secret bomb factory no matter how long they looked. The DeMedia is obviously aware of all I've written, so why are they also members of the "Give-the-inspectors-more-time" club? I think it's because many of them, just like the groveling, sniveling, spineless, pacifists prior to World War II, in their hearts, actually believe that madmen, like Hitler, Kim Jong Il and Saddam can simply be chatted out of their desires for world domination in much the same way Dr. Phil or Oprah chat away the World's problems in 22 minute segments.

Why Saddam must be Killed !
Wednesday night, your Mr. Wonderful, rather than enjoying my usual 4PM to 10PM nap, was found instead watching The History Channel. Most likely, the majority of viewers of this fine cable channel cannot detect the always left lean of almost every program. However, your Mr. Wonderful, backed by the wisdom of having lived 50 years as a conservative voice in the desert, is easily offended by this 'invisible' bias. I mention this because, after watching 126 minutes about Iraq and Saddam Hussein on this left-leaning channel, that I have decided that apparently even the usual negotiation-happy liberals agree that this murderous bastard must be defanged, dethroned and deported. All my readers are aware of the fact that Saddam used gas and chemical weapons on his own citizens killing some five thousand men, women and children. However, did you realize that his poisons changed forever the DNA of the still suffering survivors? Have you seen the torture room where shirtless and shoeless prisoners are confined that sports a sophisticated PVC drip sprinkler system? Only instead of being beneath ground level, this maze of plastic pipes is hung just slightly below the ceiling. However, rather than dispensing quenching water, it randomly drips flesh-melting nitric acid from alternating spigots, thereby forcing the captive to dance around for hours or days until he either confesses or drip-dies. Are you also aware that this human-Satan, in an effort to obtain confessions, will gather parents and grandparents together and then gouge the eyes out of their progeny in front of the wailing procreators? Are you aware that in the 1980s very sophisticated equipment was uncovered in Iraq that could only be used in the manufacture of atomic bombs? After watching this program, I completely understand why President Bush feels we must attack Iraq and remove this monster once and for all. And here's the proof of the left-leaning slant of even this seemingly sensible program. The narrator mentioned that in 1995, a CIA agent and his crew was ready and waiting to enter Iraq with Iranians willing to attempt to overthrow Saddam. Not only, after requesting permission again and again, could they not get the go ahead from the "administration," to top it off this CIA agent was recalled back to the United States and charged in federal court with attempting to assassinate Saddam Hussein! Not once during these three hours was this "administration" ever given a name. Why was the Clinton Presidency not mentioned as the 'soft on Saddam' administration that halted one of the best chances the world ever had to do away with Saddam? Why was the Clinton administration not named as the one that orchestrated an eventually abandoned trial against a CIA agent who determined to murder the Butcher of Baghdad?

Why the Bush Administration
is Focused on WMD
Your Mr. Wonderful, in a never ending effort to keep my readers on the cutting edge of world knowledge, reads a lot of newspapers, visits a lot of web site and listens to a lot of talk radio. And, in doing this, I don't believe I have heard anyone site exactly what scenario's are running through President Bush's mind that have caused him to be so ruthless in hunting down and destroying anyone who might possess or have the desire to possess, Weapons of Mass Destruction. (Well, that is except Kim Jong Il ... who knows how the mind of government works?) Here for the first time, as usual, your Mr.Wonderful reveals precisely the horror that this administration envisions. The horror that the bacchanalian Clinton Administration ignored for eight years while celebrating diversity, defending homosexuality, abortion-rights (infanticide), and enjoying a fine cigar and oral sex in the White House. (Speaking of the Clintons, if this Mr. Clinton had been exposed as having some little girl puffing on his STD pillaged penis, while President, in the White House, during the 1940s, he would have been tarred and feathered and run out of town! And my father, God rest his soul, would have been the ring leader. What has happened to our sensibilities? Where is the outrage?) Back to the Bush Nightmare. Most of us were party to the aftermath of what happened when two terrorist-navigated jets were targeted onto the two tallest buildings in our nation toppling them. Catastrophe, 2,800 deaths, the evaporation of tens of thousands of jobs, business losses running into many billions of dollars, the expenditure of over 100 billion of our tax dollars for heightened security and the imposition of a virtual Big Brother state where all American citizens are under suspicion all the time, everywhere they go. A while back, when I was relaxing by reading works of fiction, I read an excellent book, written by, I believe an Englishman. In his work of fantasy, this talented author had dreamt up an America that had suffered three or four cities being destroyed by nuclear explosions. With 'only' these few cities devastated by Teller's creation, this teller of tales presented a convincing argument that our beautiful and bountiful United States of America would be reduced economically to the status of a Third World country dependent on the grace of England and Canada if merely a few of our major metropolis's were wiped out by terrorists. And that my friend's is Bush's nightmare. Read an excellent history of Iraq's
atomic bomb program here.
