uh, right right, considering we PAY in the way of TAXES to the government, it's OUR money they are using.. so in a sense maybe the GOVERNMENT shouldn't bite of the hand that feeds it.. In other words, by your logic, If the government wants to bitch and moan, maybe they should do it own their own dime (NOT OUR money). Make Bush pay.


> Good. Ever heard the phrase "don't bite the hand that feeds you?" You get government money, you should be the government's bitch. If you want to piss and moan, do it on your own dime.

In a twist in what is normally a cruel joke, it seems that bluesnews.com is just about the only website that I can actaully pull up this morning. Normally, its blues that I can't get to. Oh well, I'll take blues anyday.

I'm guessing that a link or main trunk of the backbone of the Internet has been disconnected (I see some sewer guy working somewhere thinking "yeah, this would be a good place to start digging with my backhoe. . . ") I've not confirmed with my ISP (Earthlink) but I can't even get to their page to check status (strange that I can still connnect). Of course I could still call them on the . . . what's it called, yes, the telephone. . . hmmm. Nah. In anycase, I'm in the midwest and it seems that I am only able to pull up East coast pages.

I makes you wonder in a serious way, how attractive the Internet is as a stategic target for someone wanting to cripple communication. I for one am dependant on it as I suspect everyone is in some way who visits blues (yes, I know who you are).

And then I just saw this:

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/whispers/whisphome.htm

"Labor unions and independent groups aligned with the antiwar effort sparked by President Bush's retaliation campaign against Osama bin Laden will come under attack this week in the House as lawmakers seek to cut off their federal grants. GOP sources tell Whispers that an amendment to block grants to the groups will be offered to the appropriation bill for the Labor and Health and Human Services departments up for consideration as early as Thursday. A new analysis of federal grants to groups involved in the antiwar effort identifies unions including the United Auto Workers, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and the Service Employees International Union. The Heritage Foundation analysis from census documents also found grants to independent groups that have blasted Bush's war. "Should tax dollars be going to groups that protest the war? I don't think so," says an architect of the plan to end the grants."

Absolutely incredible...immediately reminded me of this:

""Now is not the time for such divisive, destructive things as dialogue and debate," McCain said. "Now is not the time for, 'My opinion is just as valid as yours,' and 'What are my country's leaders doing and why?' and 'I have a question, Mr. President.' Now is the time for one thing and one thing only: The defense of the American democratic ideal. Any and all who disagree with this directive, or who have different ideas about how it should be accomplished, should learn to shut their mouths.""
