BUZZFLASH GUEST COMMENTARY
by Michael Winship
If you want to royally tick off New Yorkers, try telling us what to do.
That's probably why the police stopped trying to enforce the jaywalking laws here years ago (as opposed to Washington, DC, where I once got one too many tickets and was sent to pedestrian school).
And that's why in the weeks after 9/11, my favorite sign was the one that appeared in the windows of Italian-American neighborhoods near where I live downtown. In bright red, white, and blue, it read: "One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. You got a problem with that?"
So imagine how pleased many of us were when told by conservatives -- most of them from out-of-town -- that we should be very afraid that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and some of his Al Qaeda henchmen will be put on trial here in New York City, just blocks from the scene of their horrific crime, the World Trade Center.

Subject: President Obama vs airhead Palin
Can you believe it? Sarah Palin is all over the news selling her not to be believed book, and Our President doing peace making in Asia hardly a blip on the radar. Where was he shown with the troops, honoring him as he honors them? Where? Oh, but Foux Noise made fun of him 24/7 as he payed respect to the leader who hosted his visit. Helping right along are the silly talking heads, as Limbaugh, crazy Beck and their crew of republican misfits. Is this all they have? Yep! Rupert Murdock backs those who are not worthy to walk in our Presidents shoes, and mimics everything hateful they spew about our President.
Yet Sarah the bimbo, they spout as their canidate for President. Are they for real? Yes they are,because the Republicans latch onto anyone they can, who can make outrages statements about President Obama, and at this time Palin is the name of the game. Will the Republicans ever come out of their evil fantasy world? Not in our lifetime. Fantasy is their comfort zone. President Obama is the adult, that these bullys, called Republicans have to bring him down. They have nothing else to offer the American people but smoke and mirrors.

Buzz Flash,
Tragedy/Comedy: Tragedy and comedy are simply questions of value; a little misfit in life makes us laugh; a great one is tragedy and cause for expressions of grief. Elbert Hubbard, The Note-Book, 1927
Tragedy was the election in 2000 due to election fraud and the partisan, political interference of the U.S. Supreme Court that will forever tarnish that court. After that, it was one tragedy after another for eight long years.The Bush GOP members of Congress are talking about the trials in New York regarding 9/11 as being dangerous. The world is dangerous today because of the Bush GOP regime and their acts of terrorism around the world, using as an excuse, the word, terrorism, as in "fighting terrorism." Every act of violence is an act of terrorism. Just ask the victims. Bush, right after 9/11, bombed and killed close to 5,000 innocent people in Afghanistan. People, who had nothing to do with bin Laden or 9/11. Think about that number of deaths due to revenge. An action to please the blood thirsty people in this country at the time. No leadership at all in that action. It was cold-blooded murder.
Bush and Cheney had two to three months of warnings before 9/11 and took them seriously enough to warn friends not to fly commercial flights, such as Ashcroft and Willie Brown to name a couple who confessed of being the recipients of such warnings. Just as we Americans experienced for eight long years of the Bush/Cheney GOP leadership . . . no thought as to what their actions or lack of actions would cause to others, including the airlines. Why no accountability? Why do the Bush Republicans get to pick and choose what they want to remember about history? They remember 9/11, but fail to remember that if Bush had been a responsible resident of the White House, and had the American people and the airlines been warned, 9/11 most likely could have been prevented.
