Please Arrest Palin

Why is it that soon after Sarah Palin delivers a “Hate” speech, we find ourselves witnessing more death squads wherein innocent victims find themselves heading for the grave? Right here in America! In Fairbanks, it allowed a 5-year old to shoot a 3-year old sibling! Why in hell was this kid allowed access to a loaded gun? Hold that thought. How in hell does a 5-year old know how to handle a deadly weapon? Now we see news of another massacre in Nevada, with an automatic weapon. Mr. Lawman do us a favor, arrest Palin for exciting these massacres and let a competent jury decide her fate. Is her podium time, even though free speech, causing this commotion and a trigger happy nut-case Armageddon? There is enough evidence that allows you to make an arrest or require “Home” solitary confinement for Palin. If innocent by jury fine, but we must lock her up as an example until such time we get a hold of what is causing people to go berserk. If this not-so-innocent “Cross-hairs” killing rampage continues, we will be at war with ourselves and that takes more then an act from Congress. I hope it is not too late. Better yet, close all gun stores down until after the 2012 election, just as a precaution. Now don't get me wrong reading public, I have respect for the 1^st and 2^nd Amendments, but both appear to be on the abuse and that can only lead to you know what – control! But I also realize that the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the 1^st and so true with the 2^nd, so your guns are safe as is your free speech. We just need to get a handle on automatic killing machine weapons and diarrhea of the mouth weaponry that have no purpose upon anything civil, not in debating or hunting or protection, either one. Time has come for both sides to give in a little as Palin continues on a rant about her “Union” affiliation following Jimmy Hoffa's call to action against the “Son's of Bitches”, with Sarah wielding this fake and disgusting “Brother & Sister” crap, like she is one of us! She is not nor will she ever be a “Brother or Sister” to the working class heroes of this nation. Her husband Toad was a skumbag union hater but had to pay dues to keep his job, a well paying job at that because of the “UNION”. She is a Koch Sucker, and we all know what the evil “Brothers” are up too. How can Palin have any followers? Is the IQ of her followers been dealt a low blow, called idiotic insomnia akin to a subliminal lobotomy? As she is the true demon, wrecking havoc across this nation, from the mountains to the prairies to the oceans just so she can have her claim to fame, and she may go down in the history books as a real McCain!

Send Relief

Send relief, in the form of DucoLax colon cleanser, to the following address:

Office of Door Keeper
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510

It is the address of the U.S. Senate Sargent of Arms, and he has the power to distribute this relief to all members of Congress as this body is suffering from constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating - a.k.a. a 5% approval rating. And all these symptoms are negotiable with the cleanser and DucoLax acts fast, so says the “small-print” advertisement. But what is really sad and warrants such a prescription for Congress is the fact that this body is derelict its duty, as a recent GAO report of “Contractor” abuse with taxpayers' loot in the theater of war is overboard alarming. The senate is responsible for this mess, as “Defense Contractors” utilize massive amounts of lobbying power, so the buck doesn't stop you know where. Our money is turning up in terrorists' pockets, being used to kill and maim our children in uniform. You know what, why not incarcerate 1/5^th the lobbyist for a week, just to see how the stock market reacts, as it would most likely indicate a recovery. Then incarcerate another 5^th, and on and on, then maybe this country could see a future. And don't let them loose again! It is sick, this abuse, by individuals that call themselves “Americans”? Fraud and waste have taken its toll on the 260-billion spent for George Bush's games of misery wherein everyone is required to participate, and about 60-billion has been stolen away, by “Contractors” that call themselves “American”? Then these contractor corporations get away as tax cheats, in the end the hard working Americans get cheated through triple-dipping taxation, as somebody must pay to keep government running on empty. I am a socialist and would pay a whole lot more in income taxes if that money was spent wisely, like stopping war and indicting those that have turned this country into a laughing stock piece of crap – a.k.a. the wealthy. Now the war theater is complex, especially trying to do business in a foreign war torn neighborhood wherein you cannot trust anybody – not even a pigeon. So it allows for a convenient scamming and shamming and slamming arena for many U.S. contractors bent on ripping off the very government that is trying to protect these very same company CEOs' families and mansions in the Hampton's. No excuse this separation by distance, as the same damn theft is occurring right here in America, especially up here in Alaska. I guess once again the distance far and away from the Treasury and Justice Department allows for a buffer zone for the crooks to thrive. That sign that states; “This door must remain unlocked during business hours”? I guess there is one that says; “This vault must remain open and unguarded when the Senate is in session.”, as the Treasury is vulnerable to temptation. Now Alaska is known for its political “Corrupt Bastards” whose trademark is taxpayer abuse. Honorary members include RIP U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, his son Ben, the Murkowski dysentery dynasty and Don “Hit in the head by a coconut I can't remember anything” Young. The list is long and disgusting, so why bring back bad memories. Why? Because the abusive ways and means have become the norm here in America. The rip-off artists are alive and well, right here in the Fairbanks community. When “Privatization” solicitations of the military infrastructure hit the federal bid sites back in 2005, the crooks gathered behind closed doors in efforts to see how they could benefit. Look, there is only one “Big” problem here in America, it is called American “Greed”. If we just practiced what John F. Kennedy preached, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”, we would still be on top as the most likely country to succeed. Now this “Privatization” was supposed to save the taxpayers from abusive ways and means practiced by civil service servants when running the military infrastructure, like the electric and water utilities. I have been researching this “Privatization” thing and here it is in a nutshell, a comparison as to what we had then and what we have now, for the next 50-years - unless our representatives take this derailment and derail the profit scamming. Let's put it this way, that jail in Mat-Su will not have an empty bed syndrome if we indict these crooks. In 2005, the civil servants required about $4-million to run one particular power plant at a military base here in interior Alaska and no revenue income as this was a government run business venture. When this same operation went privatized, in its 1^st full year of operation by the Fairbanks Mafia, it cost the taxpayers, not less, but a whole lot more in the tune of $25-million, for the same damn outcome! And this increase cannot be due some “Required Revenue”, as only thefts rely on this kind of lunacy. It is pure unadulterated theft by a ring of businessmen – lawyers – that set out with the intent to rip off the hand that feeds. It was a multi-million dollar extravaganza, courtesy the U.S. Taxpayers' loot lotted away by greed and opportunity? And here is how one individual with connections to the “Mafia” became a millionaire, almost overnight. Before the government allowed for “Privatization”, the deficiencies were reported so the government would be responsible for paying out money for the fix. That was good, as this would allow both parties to know what was required to keep the infrastructure in check. The electrical distribution system, a “mission critical” item was in a state of disrepair, as it was constructed during the 50s. So the system was listed as a deficiency and the fed.'s required the new owner under the “Privatization” umbrella to fix things within 2-years time, wherein Uncle Sam realized a cost of about $75-million. Now in that estimate, and Uncle Sam is pretty good with the estimates as it hires 3^rd party consultants to gauge costs for major projects, well in that multi-million dollar contract was incorporated 18% for “Project Management”. Now project management is a very complex thing, and it takes many dedicated individuals to see a project from inception through to success. So when one considers that the “Project Management” would consume about $13-million, that was not a bad deal. But when an individual with connections decided to be the solo-project manager and hired his wife as a partner, then we see fraud alive and well. So a husband & wife consultant team made millions, in only 2-years time without any sweat. Why? Nobody in the government is watching how the money is spent as there has to be a “separation” now that things are “Privatized”, like a religion, a hands off approach. Now this husband & wife team are rich, travel around the world and live in a place that is probably a tax haven. And they call themselves Americans? Wish I had a riddle for this one!

Statement of Candidacy

I am of average intelligence so said the Sister's of Mercy, fit for the Proletariat class, a.k.a. the hard working salt of the earth Americans with class. Actually, the nuns said I would never amount to anything but a “Farmer” as back in the 60's that was considered the lowest of all job careers, so if you couldn't cut it as a pilot or as a meat clever yielding butcher or as a maggot infested garbage collector, it meant the hay fields. This was all before the “transistor” revolution. I make mention the “intelligence” factor as with the current list of intelligence missing with respect to those making a run for the helm, I too can make a run at the presidency and if “Intelligence” is a factor, I have a good chance of winning – or is it whining? With that, find herein my campaign speech and bid for the 2012 “Hot Seat”. This speech is incorporated into FEC Form 2, “Statement of Candidacy” filed with the Commission on September 5^th, 2011 - a.k.a. Labor Day. While at the helm under my guidance, I will organize “All Workers” under one umbrella and it will be “One Union under Guard”. That includes “all” American workers from the lowest paid entry level employee to the highest paid CEOs. If you want to work in this country, or work for any corporation world-wide that is using the American buck - like with a Defense Contractor - you will be required to be part of this effort, “One Union under Guard”. There will be no excuses. With “One Union under Guard”, we will design with confidence, run and manage our own health care program. With “One Union under Guard”, we will design with confidence, run and manage our own retirement plan. This will allow Social Security along with Medicare and Medicaid to cease to exist. What is in that account and owned and owed will be used as seed money for the “One Union under Guard” benefit programs. Free “Higher” education will also be enjoyed through this “Union”. As far as salaries, as a “union for all”, all pay wages will be negotiable and capped, thus decreasing the imbalance between the janitor - who sweats a whole lot more then an executive manager - and the top brass' take home pay. Minimum wage will be but a nightmare of the past. Overtime will no longer be included as taxable income, allowing individuals and families to spend more of the “bread maker's” hard earned income, on things of their choice, in efforts to invigorate local economies. There will come equality in retirement benefits, as “We are all created equal”. As far as jobs, we owe it to our retirees “a free ride”, which will under my watch include “free living accommodations”. This will require major building of “New Age Old Age” communities throughout the land, which means a single way to put people and businesses back in touch with the pursuit of happiness. And I will end all military engagements that are draining our economy in realization that war is outdated and start out once again to compete with other sane nations on a global economy of scale. If in the event “war” is needed, it will require a “Cake Sale” for funding, thus giving us plenty of “Time-Out” time to rethink what we are getting into. As far as Congress, it will be through voluntarism, thus providing “Term Limits” by proxy. My campaign motto, “Let's Socialize”. 
PS: Name Withheld!

Boobsey Twins

Last evening I listened in on an interview with Jon Huntsmen, a genuine 2012 GOP presidential candidate, an individual with some intelligence, finally. Not that I would align myself with his political agenda or party, but it was refreshing to hear a challenging opponent voice that Obama is a “good man”, just an evolutionary disagreement with policy and principle between Huntsmen and his once boss. So there exists hope away from the hoopla with the Pea-Party threat. Obama elected Huntsmen as Ambassador to China, and that takes knowledge for both parties. And the present day Pea-Party bowel movement, it is a threatening movement, upon life, liberty and that pursuit of happiness. So bravo Mr. Huntsmen, for performing as a genuine American and leaving the rhetoric of doom out of the equation. Refreshing his interview because it was all positive, a vision to take this country forward, none of that Boobsey Twins' doom and gloom in the cross-hairs prophesy. So why in hell are the Boobsey Twins still making stage appearances and raking in zillions with Big PAC attacks? I am talking MissHell Bachmann and Queen Bwitch, once upon a time known as Sarah “The Quitter” Palin. Typo with the Queen? Use your intellect or imagination and you will understand what Bwitch stands for, yes it is a deserving double take. It goes to show that the Pea-Party mentality is a pea-brain mentality wherein it is a candidacy based on ignorance upon the Constitution and adherence to Biblical hypocrisy to the point of lunacy. This places any intelligent candidate, like the Huntsmens' and the true republicans, a handicap for the upcoming 2012 slush fund. The true GOP now faces a back seat, just like when Ralph entered the race against Al Gore. Bottom-line, the GOP is dead. It is dead in the House, it is dead in the Senate. The question remains to whom will the once die-hard party liners align themselves with, a nut-case or upon a candidate that at least shows some semblance of a statesmen like attitude and indicators of an intelligent life-form. When was “zero” intelligence a prerequisite to political office, as the twins are surely of idiotic non-intelligence. I just listened to Barack's Labor Day speech, bravo. Even though it was a subliminal re-election speech, with focus on workers welfare, it was intelligent. Now I am listening to MissHell as I write, she needs to be locked-up in solitary confinement, as nobody can be that stupid! Maybe a lobotomy is necessary as the Boobsey twins keep on giving, garbage in garbage out. Surround oneself with incompetency appears to be the mob mentality for MissHell. No different for when the Bwitch takes over the podium. I just don't get it. Maybe the Pea-Party gets excited to the point of orgasm when the likes of MissHell and Bwitch gets excited at the podium. Monkey see monkey do works, even for modern Neanderthal women! And I would like to hear Sarah Bwitch and MissHell debate the current U.S. Postal Service dilemma. It is going broke, but the management is looking for ways and means to save the sinking ship, like delivering booze to houses when performing the mail detail. The stamp workers have a contract, a labor contract, as do many other “government” workers, like the TSA. With the “Office” contract, postal workers cannot be laid off, so booze supplemented routes, it has merit. But herein is the scary part of the story. Votes are what counts, whether from intelligent individuals that know what is going on to those that choose to not understand what is going on and believe the vote is a token for a free hot-dog at a Hee-Haw rally. Huntsmen has a good chance in the rink against Obama, and that may foster partnerships, for votes. It could come down to Huntsmen and the Bwitch, with something in return for MissHell, for her blessings and constituent votes. Or vise versa, where payback would come in the form of Assistant Secretary MissHell or Defense Secretary Sarah Bwitch. So maybe will see Mad Magazine have a banner rock-out addition with this tag team. And I am sure Saturday Night Live will have record breaking viewing, as the last time Sarah was faked out by Tina, Bwitch's fan club thought it was the real McCoy instead of comedy central. Let's face it, Palin acts dumb naturally. And please remember this trivial tidbit of a connection, it was Huntsmen that introduced John McCain's monster as the 2008 VP running mate, and sometimes connections are an inbred fallout. Either way, it appears this country may be going down the avenue of doom. If Obama gets re-elected, it will be just more of the same Mitch McConnell assassinating the Constitution and if the Pea-Party gets in, lock your door and throw away the key! Better yet, order more take out booze through the U.S. Pony Express. Better yet, request political asylum on another planet because this place will be doomed and be open for business, not as usual. Soylent Green style ring a bell?

Umbrella Bwitch

So how many innocent individuals find themselves in the cross-hairs today following Sarah Palin's hate speech amongst the Pea-Party following over in KKK-Parkland central, at the Iowa State Hee-Haw? I can't wait for the Hee-Haw poll results. I have taken the liberty to rename the Tea-Party as the Pea-Party, in honor of “Mushy Peas”, a U.K. delicacy sometimes referred to as “crap” by blokesters for the way the once green peas are beat up for the mush, it is no different then Palin's worriers and the Pea-Party's tyrannic mindset trying to destroy liberty. Look, I will side with no following, no party, no affiliation nor politician that still fails to believe that this country's problems are home grown bred by the wealthy class and that the Pea-Party is being taken advantage of, by the Palin's and the Koch brothers. They just don't get it, that they are being taken for a ride by the wealthy using their very own stage as a ways and means to further the wealth agenda, with a war of words for no personal income tax along with no corporate income tax which means a free-ride wherein the proletariat class paves the way. The original Tea-Party agenda was sound, but like anything else, it was taken over by morons with a totally different agenda. The original party movement was against unfair taxation, a just cause nothing more, nothing less. Now it is a bowel movement. I did take the opportunity to listen in on Palin's pathetic speech that fit the bookepedia definition for EDM, a.k.a. Explosive Diarrhea from the Mouth, as I was in need of some entertainment. But while reading out loud another persons words, it is getting past the entertainment stage with Palin and is borderline criminal activity, it stinks! Palin has no doubt an umbrella agenda, hidden under a disguise of... Sorry can't think of any definition without using unconscionable speech. And I do respect my 1^st Amendment right, trying all so hard not to abuse that Constitutional given right, to be heard. Look Palin would have loved to see Flight#93 hit its intended target, the White House. She is using her 1^st Amendment right to praise and excite tyranny and incite insane hate amongst her lemming following upon our government, its leaders and upon righteous law abiding liberal citizens. I do indeed fear for the safety of our President, Barack Obama and his family, because of the Palinites! And here is my take on her pathetic ideals, of “No Government” intervention, her “Umbrella Agenda”. Her husband is an Alaskan native, so health care and dental care and eye-care and X-care of the highest caliber comes courtesy the BIA, basically a free-bee at the American taxpayers' expense and Sarah as a spouse is covered, as are all bonafide members of the family clan. It is the ideal government run health care plan which includes “extended” dental treatment, an additional $1200 per year, on top of the regular coverage. A plan so lucrative and expensive that if all Americans were treated the same with respect to health care, the government would indeed go broke, or would have to cut out money earmarked to private defense contractors and maybe have to stop a few warlord engagements. I am all in favor of cake sales for buying new aircraft carriers! And when Sarah was practicing her bwitch makeover to move-over and out-of-the-way other political players here in Alaska, it was the Toad's income, as a UNION member that kept the torch burning. It takes money to play! And when Sarah moved to Juneau to build a new hot-tub, Toad was given a job as a UNION spokesperson or liaison between the PAC union and British Petroleum, working I guess to disenfranchise his brothers and sisters. So Sarah goes against this very grain that promoted, at least helped her to get to the “Hate” podium and Miss Bwitch recognition, even ahead of MissHell Bachmann! There is the possibility that without Toad's salary while working for a “Big Oil” company with generous salary and benefits and the fact that health care was paid for by Uncle Sam, there is the possibility that Sarah may have had to find gainful employment. With that, she would still be a nobody today! Thanks Toad! And a great big thanks to John “I am a Black prisoner” McCain, what a monster you unleashed upon America. Bottom-line, the hate commotion that follows her constituents when she delivers to them a “Hate” speech orgasm, it is getting to the point that local law enforcement agencies are at wits end, as they know that hate speech causes abnormal activity with trigger happy goons going wild, it is an abuse of free speech so I make a prediction. We will see changes upon the 1^st Amendment, wherein there will come culpability and the 1^st will find itself no longer more powerful than the 2^nd, which is Palin's favorite to begin with. So her ideals are in efforts to tear down the wall and if we don't act know, the 2^nd Amendment will become in effect the pursuer of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Can you imagine a society wherein everybody must carry a gun? Sure it may place a dampener on corruption and crime, but why in hell would one want to live in such a fearful social order? But all is not a lost cause. See, I have finally after all these years found something to respect Bill Clinton upon! He is on this new kick, a diet wherein you shy away from anything that has a face, has a mother. It is the true vegan identity. So congratulation to Bill, as this is what I would expect from a president at retirement, something worthwhile while Hilary is gallivanting around the world. With Carter, we had respect his tribute to habitat building, through “Habitat for Humanity”. Now can you imagine if we could get George Bush to forever again refrain away from killing anything that had a face, or a Mother! Wow, talk about giving peace a chance. In the meantime, the meanie carries on, wrecking havoc across the land and definitely living up to the standards of the Queen Bwitch!

An Alaskan Journalist

Wow, Alaska Daily News' contributor Julia O’Malley must be on cloud-9, or at least her status as a journalist is today elevated. What a high. Same as I was experiencing on high at 37,000 feet while entertaining myself with the article O’Malley published in Alaska Airlines' very own “Alaska Airlines”. A noteworthy monthly publication and besides toilet paper, the only thing still free in the friendly skies. That is where the “noteworthy” comes into play. O’Malley’s article was titled “North Stars – The state of Alaska inspires TV shows and films”. The writing piece was on a fashionable subject to write about, which highlighted the Alaska Celluloid race for Sarah Palin style reality. But the article, though worthwhile my precious time, it only covered the “good” side of this new found interest. Half-baked Alaska I guess. In this day and age we need equality all publications, as there is always two sides to all stories and we live in a two-faced society – so what is on the “good” side of things for some is the “bad” side for others, and vice versa. Moving on, let’s face the facts about the “Big Screen” realism here in the “Last frontier”. Alaska has been open for business now at least 52-years, and we are just realizing this potential? Or is it all a smoke screen? The bottom-line, it is the tax credit allowed that is bringing the camera crews North to Alaska. Incentives can work. But it is the behind the scenes dealings and shuffling of these “credits” that is paying off to “Confidential” beneficiaries, which takes the tax credit incentive beyond the film crews' benefit. See, most of the players on the film crew end of things are outsiders, so the tax credits can claim no advantage, as they don’t have to pay corporate income tax to the State of Alaska revenue police. So the tax credits can be sold, for coins on the dollar, to an Alaskan corporation. Now with a very limited corporate base, the list is probably a giveaway guess. With guaranteed income from the tax credits, it allows for up-front investing. It allows for a guaranteed pay-back, even if a show is a flop. And that is why Alaska has become the joke capital of the world with respect to the “Little Screen”. Isn't false advertising against the law? Take for instance “Ice Road Truckers”? It ain’t an ice road, it’s the Dalton Highway that is a better maintained road then the New Seward Highway. The Dalton is the lifeline of the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline. Without a pipeline, oil doesn’t make it to market. Without oil getting to market, the state coffers run dry and Ben Stedman would have to sleep at a Hotel-8 instead of a luxury $900-dollar a night suite. Hey Ben, bed-bugs are everywhere, just look in the mirror! “I almost crapped” he said. When Ben realized after a good night's sleep for a week that he had enjoyed this upgrade at the state of Alaska citizen's resources wasted expense, it was like no big deal. Hey Ben, how many nights at an extended stay could that money buy, for a family in need? Now when this story surfaced and Ben ducked the criticism, I did take a good crap, I mean a good “Stedman”! This jerk's attitude towards responsible behavior buys him the honor of honorary #2, so from now on in my bookepdia it is a “Good Stedman”, and flush twice as it’s a long way to Juneau. Anyway, I have traveled real ice roads, the kind that are man-made and jut out into the Beaufort Sea for miles, the kind of roads that are deceiving and it is indeed a hoot when the ice cracks and an incoming tide sends walls of water every which way but loose, you would think it was a whale blow hole, and talk about slippery? Take ice and throw some cold ocean water on it, wherein all rules of nature and physics cease to exist, just like ethics in government. Talk about no control! And “Alaska State Troopers”? This is a show that pounces down hard on the sad side of the Native Alaskan lifestyle. Look, there are a whole lot of positive things happening in village life, why not focus on that instead of misery? Because it appears that it is trash and “Stedman” crap that is selling these tax credits, nothing else. Sarah Palin’s Alaska was a total flop, and the only thing good about it was the fact that it showed the “True” witch and should have educated her lemming following that she was not fit even to drive the Oscar Myer mobile hot dog truck. “Alaska Gold Rush”, just a bunch of deadbeat looser like freaks wrecking havoc on the pristine lands, it's an invasion missing any sensible behavior. Killing bears, workers fighting, it is definitely an “Alaskan Freak Show”. And the worst of all is this fishing crap. How many times can somebody watch crab pots being hauled up? And this show should be outlawed, as it is inbreeding fighting and is just  a decoy advertisement for the tobacco companies trying to get TV viewers to light up, again, like smoking is cool and a tough guy thing! And how much money from lawsuits against the Marlboro Man did this state get in efforts to eradicate the smoking habit? Now there was a reality show that failed miserably about working aboard a drilling rig. Look, a drilling rig is a dangerous place, there is no room or time for misfits. If you can't get a job on a rig, call the Bandits! There would be no such crap allowed on a rig so it is basically a boring subject matter. It is all business, no fluff like is found in these fake shows about crap, I mean “Stedman”. And that is my point. Why isn’t there a show about an Alaskan oil rig? Why isn’t there a show about workers on the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline? Because it is trash that is selling to a couch potato fan-club, fostered by those behind the scenes that are making a killing with the perks. There may be a subliminal message behind these broadcasts. And here is the true litmus test. If the state stopped the tax credits, there would be no crap shows about Alaska. Money sells crap, and money buys crap. In fact, I challenge all film companies on the tax credit list to divulge to whom they are selling the credits too! Oh and what is with this “Mounted in Alaska”? It sounds more in tune to a porno movie. In fact, you would be better off watching an X-rated stage show then this crap about the wealthy Alaskans killing off the endangered, just so they can have a dead animal watching over them. Now a show about Ben Stevens and the rest of the “Corrupt Bastards”, maybe it would be worth some popcorn and my precious time, at least for the opener!

Dear Congress: Please Read

There is something missing reality when driving through a U.S. military base these days, as a civilian. We are at war, still in Iraq, still in Afghanistan. And probably with good intentions overseeing Libya's present day coup against Moummar Gaddafi. But when driving around a base whose somewhat permanent residents are engaged world-wide upon man-made violence, there is a level of activity somewhat fascinating, somewhat mysterious, sometimes scary and often times, a thought of sadness abounds for many reasons. You know what I am talking about upon the latter. Let us face the facts, we are here as visitors, like stimulus project workers, while those dressed in uniform, well they have a completely different mindset and mission recognized as critical. They see and feel the pain, we just pay for it as sidelined beneficiaries their efforts. So I get to see this reality on a regular basis, one that is blockaded away from most Americans' everyday life cycle. With that, I guess I am qualified to present some thoughts on what I experience, not as a troop, but like already mentioned, a visitor upon their domain. On one particular day on an ARMY base in Alaska, there appeared to be some commotion at an intersection. Traffic was slow, as all eyes seemed turned to an attraction meandering along the bike path following the Chena River. An attraction it was on this 70-degree day. It was a young lady, gaining all the attention of troops finishing their day's duty, that of learning the rituals behind war and survival. So after the sweat and tears, to see an attractive lady walking the grounds, what else could one expect their behavior. She was a good looker. And for some of the Stryker Brigade combat team troops getting ready to head to the mountains and murderous neighborhoods of Afghanistan, gorking was acceptable. Maybe not acceptable upon the Code of Good Behavior, but lets give them a break. But the question remained, who was she and what was she doing walking around the base, not really showing off but getting that attention like she was a show-off. There is something else about life and liberty behind the military base gates secured by the Military Police, as when kids are out of school, the families gather at the combined soccer, baseball and dog park fields for outside activities, like almost all Americans this time of year - late fall. What is rather odd, it is the missing dads that makes this scene different, as most family men in uniform these days are most likely engaged abroad, fighting for American liberty you say. How many times has the Stryker Brigade visited the theater of war? Later on that evening, I would have the opportunity to meet this young woman at a local coffee shop. She asked me for directions as I sipped a latte outdoors, still in the 70s as enormous flocks of of cranes bid farewell this land and caught her attention. A giveaway she was a visitor. And then it was that I learned who she was and what interest it was that had brought her North to Alaska. She mentioned that she always wanted to visit this great state, but this time around it wasn't for a nature vacation, or fishing trip. No, her visit here today was to see her baby brother's remains returned, the reason her presence at Ft. Wainwright. I am glad it was a beautiful day, cranes and all. If it didn't help her pain, it helped me to cope this sadness. She mentioned over and over again, “my baby, baby broth..” came the choking tears. A twenty year old kid, life destroyed only after a few weeks in the theater. He was an engineer. I could tell she was distraught, but wanted to talk about it, to some extent. It is a sad state of affairs that you Mr. & Mrs. Congressmen have left this country. The war machine has become a big business, and you allow it to move forward gaining momentum, to the point that we may never be able to pull the plug and end these worthless engagements, wherein kids have to grow up fatherless and motherless, not because of the wars and conflicts themselves, but because we are short on troops, because we care more for military subcontractors' wealth and wellbeing then we do our very own children. So I send out this challenge to all members of Congress, as you are supposed to be our representatives. Instead of spending time so precious derailing this country's goodwill forever, take a time out from the crusade of the lobbyists and take a ride to a military base near you. And when riding around, take a slow long look through those military hospital windows, force a wave, maybe a genuine “I care” smile as you can bet that there is a young kid behind those four walls that can't come out and play. And when driving by those ball fields filled with energetic kids and moms playing dad, “say hello in there” to our troops, as some combat troops may never get the opportunity to play ball with their kids, then maybe you'll get the message, that our troops deserve more then the pittance of respect they get today, as the “mission critical” has taken on a monster, and there is only one entity to blame for this malfeasance - just take a look in the mirror. Scary and sad , isn't it!
