William K. Wolfrum Chronicles

Has a reporter ever actually asked anyone in the current U.S. Administration if they believe there will be a tomorrow? Just asked them point blank “Do you think there will be a year 2010?”

Because. they’ve managed to put this entire war effort - a war of civilizations to them, mind you - on credit. Give tax cuts, and a war, and our kids will figure out how to pay off China.

From the Christian Science Monitor:

Unlike in previous major wars, the United States has cut taxes at the same time it has increased military spending. “It’s fair to say all of the money spent on the war has been borrowed,” says Richard Kogan, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a think tank in Washington. “But eventually everything has to be paid for.”

I understand the whole “starve the beast” mentality, but that never actually works, does it? You think high deficits will get politicians to stop spending money on the public?

More and more, I think George W. Bush, an admitted Jesus freak, truly believes that Christ is coming down in his Jesus Craft to pass out cookies and slay the infidels. And like, within the next few years.

Put your debts in the hands of Jesus. In this era, that’s an actual economic strategy.

It was one year ago that the Pittsburgh Steelers went into Denver to take on the Broncos in the AFC Championship game. It would be the Steelers third consecutive playoff road game, with only one difference between the trio of games. I was sure they’s beat Denver.

Yes, I, a well-known lousy sports prognosticator, was dead certain that the Steelers would win. And not due to anything about them, either. It was purely due to one fact - Pittsburgh would win because Denver’s Jake Plummer was not the kind of quarterback that wins conference championships.

In the end, Plummer committed four turnovers, the Steelers cruised, 34-17, and continued their journey that would end with a fifth Super Bowl ring.

This year, there is one quarterback I feel has no shot at winning the game to put his team in the Super Bowl. Peyton Manning? Tom Brady? Drew Brees? Nope.

Rex Grossman.

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints, the NFC’s representatives to the 2007 Super Bowl in Miami. First of all, while everyone was waiting around to see who the Saints would pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, they were putting together a hell of a team. This is a much more well-balanced squad than the Chicago Bears, which has the defense, but not of the 2000 Baltimore Ravens variety.

In the end, none of that matters, however. Rex Grossman is the deciding factor. It’s not hard to imagine Brady, Manning or even Brees hoist a Super Bowl trophy. Now imagine Grossman doing it.

You can’t. Saints, 27-9.

An attack on Iran, whether only an air assault or full-on attack, has long been certain. Aside from the endless evidence that appears, one need only look further than George W. Bush’s love of Jesus.

Bush supports Intelligent Design. Simply put, this means the President of the United States believes the Earth was created 6,000 years ago by God. The Christian God.

Our President believes that. It helped him stop being a drunk. For getting him sober, he now will slay all of his God’s enemies.

And this means that war on Iran is certain. War on Syria is likely. And war on anyone who hasn’t accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior is a possibility.

George Bush doesn’t need Congress to start a war. He doesn’t need public support. He doesn’t need anything. Bush answers only to Jesus, and to people like that, any other belief is a “battle of existence.” Bush has Jesus in his heart. Which means a hell of a lot more Middle Eastern civilians should be dying by the end of 2007.

Saddam Hussein’s half brother and the former head of Iraq’s Revolutionary Court were both hanged. Barzan Hassan, Hussein’s half brother, was decapitated during the proceedings.

From the Associated Press:

Iraq hanged two of Saddam Hussein’s aides early Monday, and one of the condemned was accidentally decapitated.

The official video of the hangings shows Hussein’s half-brother lying headless below the gallows, his severed head several yards away, The Associated Press reported.

The executioner’s noose severed the head of Barzan Hassan, the former chief of Hussein’s secret police, according to a spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s office.

“It was not like a very pretty scene,” said Basam Ridha, who was one of the witnesses.

Ridha said the executions were carried out with dignity and respect, and called the accidental decapitation “an act of God.”

For more than five years now, the warmongers amongst us have been repeating that our “enemies only understand force.”

Well, we’re beheading the fuckers now. Do they understand yet? Are we winning now?

1. Congress represents the people.

2. American people want its government to stop making wars of aggression.

3. Bush, Cheney and the PNAC crowd want more war.

4. Bush, Cheney and the PNAC crowd say Congress is meaningless to their plans. (”It’s not their responsibility. I made my decision, we’re going forward.”)

5. Americans are powerless. PNAC makes your decisions.

In case there were still doubters out there, the Web site PopSugar.com has confirmed that Jennifer Aniston has great breasts, by saying that her rack was the champion of all racks at the People’s Choice Awards.

From PopSugar.com:

“Jennifer looked fabulous earlier this week at the People’s Choice Awards. Hands down you told us she was the best dressed, but we really think she should win best breasts! While some might speculate that she had surgery, experts don’t believe it and neither do we. She’s even gone on Oprah to deny the boob job thing before. Who cares either way - she looks smokin’! Let’s hope this is just a preview of good things to come for Jen in 2007!”

I don’t see how a reasonable person can argue with that. In fact, the excellence of Aniston’s breasts are the topic du jour of many a scribe, it appears. We’ll leaving you guessing about what the site had to say about Matthew McConaughey’s “Perfect Date” (Hint: It involves blow jobs, lots and lots of blow jobs).

Although just having just turned 25, it seems as though Britney Spears has been around forever. And there’s a good chance she will be.

If you’re looking at life expectancy, Spears has to be given very good odds at living a long life. She’s female. She’s had kids. She has money. Just given these advantages, there is every possibility that Spears could reach 100. That would mean society as a whole has 75 more years of dealing with Britney Spears’ stories and hijinx.

Britney won’t take the Marilyn Monroe way out. No, that kind of inner suffering requires some type of depth. Spears just wants to live, and live she likely shall.

Because, face it, there is a very good chance humanity will find ways to severely slow down aging in the not-so-distant future. And you just know that someone like Spears will be first in line for that.

So what I’m saying is this - the chances of there being a 200-year-old Britney Spears, trying to show off her navel, French kissing her girlfriends, and once in a while letting her dress ride up to show off her cooch.

Global warming and “battles of civilizations” be damned. She isn’t going anywhere. Face it, society will be dealing with Britney Spears for a long, long time.

As President Bush prepares a “surge” which will likely not stop until it gets to Iran, it is interesting to see that even “evil regimes” like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s in Iran have their critics.

From ADN Kronos:

Iranian reformist lawmakers have started collecting signatures in Parliament to demand the impeachment of the country’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. So far, 38 signatures have been collected out of the 72 required to formally summon Ahmadinejad and request his impeachment. Noureddin Pirmouzen, a deputy with the reformist minority, says it is nonetheless “positive to question” the head of the executive branch.

“Many actions of the current government and of president Ahmadinejad have led the country to an extremely worrying political and economic situation,” Pirmouzen told the Iranian news website Aftab.

Issa Saharkhiz, editor and political analyst, told Adnkronos International (AKI) that “Ahmadinejad’s golden era is over.”

“I don’t think Ahmadinejad will leave the presidency before his mandate expires but I am also convinced he will not succeed in winning a second term,” added Saharkhiz. “Many factions and personalities who supported Ahmadinejad’s candidature at the 2005 presidential elections have already abandoned him and don’t spare criticism, even harsh and direct, of the president and his government.”

Sounds like they have a bunch of surrender monkeys in Iran these days. This hasn’t gotten much play yet from the big media conglomerates, but hopefully it will. Shouldn’t true believers of the great “battle of civilizations” be wondering why the Islamonazibaddieracists can’t pull together to enslave the West? Or at least wonder why “opposition” in the U.S. is such a great way to empower the enemy, but when the enemy battles from within, it’s unworthy of much mention?

Well, this should be interesting as the years click on by. Mark McGwire, who hit a then-record 70 home runs in 1998 and 583 overall, not only did not get voted into baseball’s Hall of Fame, he didn’t even come close.

What’s most interesting is that there is no real proof McGwire juiced. Basically, Hall of Fame voters chose to go with what appeared to be “group common sense.” He looked and acted like he was on steroids and when faced with the U.S. Congress, McGwire was a coward who refused to confirm or deny everything.

Keep in mind, McGwire is No. 7 on the all-time home runs list. This is an unprecedented occurrence. Sure, Dave Kingman hit over 400 home runs and never came close, but he also tended to hit .210. McGwire was one of the great home run hitters in baseball history.

And now he’s a pariah. And this vote will likely be repeated year after year for him, and then the same for Rafael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa, and finally, the biggest steroid catch of them all - Barry Bonds.

There is no conspiracy here. McGwire is the first in a line of cheaters that will be coming before Hall of Fame voters. They juiced and got instant rewards. For that, they appear to be getting what they deserve — a future of baseball turning its back on them.

For an Administration that believes everything it’s involved in is a State secret, how come everybody and his brother knows that Bush is going to announce that he’s sending more troops to Iraq?

–WKW

As President Bush gears up to tell the nation what he plans to do in Iraq (engagement announcements haven’t been this overplayed) there are still soldiers in Iraq. Soldiers doing what they’re told in an exceedingly hostile environment. Many of them have been there for ages.

So when you see a video like this, you don’t think these guys are really messed up, but just blowing off some steam. Nonetheless, it’s kinda creepy. What in the hell are young American men doing in the middle of Iraq, anyway? What exactly are they there to win again? As the soldiers say in the video:

Sleep tight bitch … and don’t forget the milk and cookies.
