POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS 98-08©

GO TO -> Table of Contents

INTRODUCTION
This is a BLOG. When this document was started in 1998 the word did not exist, but in an unexpectedly prescient way its format at the time fit the current definition of BLOG.

For your amusement, there are CURRENTLY [up to and including the end of 2004.. Presidential Elections] MANY HARD HITTING OP-ED (as opposed to NEWS) essays that relate to PRESIDENTIAL and POLITICAL events in the US. It's entirely possible that you will NOT see POV's of this nature in any medium other than the WEB.

You can read ONE or ALL ESSAYS, but keep in mind that the underlying reasoning behind everything is to TRUMP 'CORRECTNESS' with TRUTH, and to be sufficiently provocative to invite dissenting opinions.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!
As you can infer from the years shown in our headline (98-04), this particular 'book' of BLOGS is now complete. See why in our last essay, Parting Thoughts.

However, we live on. For a continuation of our BLOGS in 2005/6/7/8 and beyond, link to either SHOW ME or GO TO -> Table of Contents and look under 'USEFUL LINKS' for links to our NEW BLOGS (Gnu Political Observations and Show Me) in their new homes.

DISINFORMATION
HENRY had no need to LIE or PERJURE himself. He dealt with his problems by severing the cognitive from the somatic functionality of his opponent's BODIES (BEHEADING). This is the 21st Century. We don't do these things anymore. However, POLITICIANS appear to be doing something metaphorically similar to the BODY politic via MEDIA SPIN.
ACCESS TO ANTIDOTES
To get around this, you can ACCESS our ANTIDOTES for DISINFORMATION essays via LINKS at the bottom, to SCUM; MONICA; or BOGUS POLLS, or updates and LINKS to events relating to ELECTION 2000 and beyond (i.e. the Bush Administration). For just about any past, present, or future DEMOCRATIC TALKING POINT, one or more of the essays contains a COUNTERPOINT.

You can read the essays online or you can download and read them at your leisure. We suggest that you read ALL, with MONICA first followed by SCUM, and BOGUS POLLS, and the REST (including the GATEWAY to the virtual on-line BOOK about ELECTION 2000 and beyond).

The material following BOGUS POLLS, is essentially arranged in ascending chronological order, with six UPDATES and a VIRTUAL BOOK consisting of seven or more (it's dynamic) chapters from the campaign of 2000, all the way through the Bush Administration. Though each essay was written at a particular point in time, the content is not meant to be NEWS but rather OP-ED, and thus more TIMELESS and ENDURING.

It's a 'LIVING DOCUMENT', so portions will be appended to or updated. Come back to see UPDATES (WHAT'S NEW) or MISCELLANEOUS, for new items.

WORDS of WISDOM
In the words of Arnold Schwartzenegger (as parodied by SNL):

"HEAR ME NOW, BELIEVE ME LATER!!"

Keep an open mind, check everything out against your own reality, and make comparisons with dissenting views. If you do this FAIRLY and HONESTLY, you'll come to see that you agree with much of what's written here.
