It’s also been widely reported that McCain met her just once<\/a><\/strong> before last week. But he seems to really like her a lot<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n I forgot to predict last night that Sarah Palin wasn’t going to make it. She’s a test balloon to see what they can do in the polls using some, er, goddess power. Even as a delegate of the divine feminine, her selection reveals a stunning lack of leadership in a Republican party that has been choked by a decade of Neocon death grip.<\/p>\n Meantime, the Associated Press is reporting that John McCain “tore up the script”<\/a><\/strong> for the Republican National Convention on Sunday, “casting himself above politics as Hurricane Gustav churned toward New Orleans.” I mean, they can’t have a political convention in Minneapolis if New Orleans is flooding again.<\/p>\n It gets better. Bush and Cheney aren’t going to the RNC themselves. Why should they? They’re not really Republicans. McCain himself may not even attend.

A reader keeps writing to me about how They are using the HAARP facility<\/strong><\/a> in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park to create Hurricane Gustav. I might think she’s a little on the tin foil hat side of things except that I know for a fact that weather control has been used as a weapon by the U.S. military since the Vietnam days. I know because my therapist wrote an investigative piece in ’73 or so for Newsday<\/em> called “A Weather Arsenal.” And that was back in the day when you needed a warehouse to hold what you could put in an Apple IIe<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Friend and Reader: For those of you who are not plugged all the way into the blogosphere via one of those Matrix ports in the back of your head, I have some funny news.
