Buffy Anne Summers, aka

A bit old at this point, but still interesting, and I hadn’t seen it, so maybe you haven’t either?

And yes, I’m still swamped. But some of the truth is also that once I started to blog about Buffy’s love life I realized I needed to think about it some as I had not given it much thought before… extremely lame, I know.

Well, I’ll get something together or I won’t, and it will be about one thing or another, and it will be soon or not — on those three things you can definitely depend!!!

But seriously, I’ve gone through the first three seasons in record time, I guess for about the ninth time, or so… you would think I would have more to say about Buffy’s love life!

(Hmm, maybe it’s the subject, a little writer’s block due to my love life being so very sad and pathetic… woe is me.)

Okay. Later. I hope.

Well, I’ve got to post something occasionally, right? So it’s time for a little more James Marsters. I’m deep in a couple of projects and haven’t been able to come up for air (or very much Buffy) in quite a while, but soon… (he said), soon… but don’t anybody hold their breath! — unless you’re a vampire of course.

When I began this post, I had various titles in mind.

One was, ‘World Government, Inc.: 100, US Citizen: 0.’

Another was, ‘USA 1776 – 2010, R.I.P.’

Or simply, ‘Kiss Your Ass Goodbye.’

But ‘Kiss It Goodbye?’ seems to say it well enough, because whatever you may think ‘It’ is, whether it be your privacy, your right to own a small business that competes with the big boys, independent media, US sovereignty, or freedom itself, it just may be time to kiss it goodbye.

Because the same madmen in the Supreme Court that gave us George W. Bush back in 2000 gave away your country today to wealthy international investors.

On the off chance you haven’t heard by now — by a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court removed all restrictions on corporate spending on political campaigns, exactly the opposite of the kind of reform that is truly needed.

The potential consequences of this decision cannot be overstated. Imagine the worst case scenario from the most oppressive science fiction movie society you’ve ever seen. Okay? Now imagine worse.

Our founders (and the overwhelming majority of our leaders ever since) believed in regulating corporations — especially in the political realm — they believed in common sense definitions of common words and certainly could not have expected such insanity as this:  that a corporation is a person and that any regulation of its expenditures on political campaigns is an abridgment of that person’s free speech.

In a society of increasing ignorance, lack of engagement, apathy… perhaps this was inevitable, but to say a corporation is a person… well, we might as well say a dog is a person and that any laws that govern where and when that dog poops, or any law that requires that such poop subsequently be removed, is a clear violation of that person’s speech.

And yes, I’m comparing a corporation’s free speech to dog poop, although I admit it probably does do an injustice to poop.

A corporation is not (even remotely) a person. Any small child of average intelligence can tell you that. It has no friends, relatives or children who must live (or suffer and die) in whatever kind of future it creates. And it has no spiritual aspirations, no moral code, and no conscience. A corporation’s sole purpose is to maximize return on investment for its investors, who are by the way, international.

The fact that so many Republican “leaders” applauded this decision is incontrovertible proof, as if we needed it, that they and their party no longer represent US interests, but World Government, Inc.

So… if you’re not ready yet to kiss it goodbye, and if you’re not quite yet ready to grab your guns and head into the streets for a bloody revolution either, then call, yell, and scream at your Congress:  it’s way past time to impeach these madmen in our Supreme Court; it’s way past time for we the people to reassert ourselves and take this country back.

What happened in Haiti was simply an act of God, or an act of Nature, right?

Sort of.

But not entirely. What our mass media isn't telling you is that some of our "leaders" helped create this appalling situation.

Yes, this is what the pundits always call politicizing a news story, and what our mass media generally decline to do.

I could and probably should go into more detail, but as Max Blumenthal has done such a good job of that already, I'll merely point you in his direction:

And can you believe Obama asked George W. to join in a bipartisan effort for Haitian relief? Really? After what happened (and is still happening in many respects) to New Orleans? Almost anyone, even John McCain, would have been a better choice. I guess in most ways Barack's just another politician, and the only reason I can continue to support him is that the alternatives all look to be much, much worse.

Well… heads up guys. Hope to be back in posting mode sometime soon. Have just been so busy lately… y'know?
