Michael Jackson TalkRadio Content

y wife has obviously been carrying on a relationship behind my back. I found out about it with the delivery of this morning's mail. I shall confront her with it the moment she returns from a charity lunch. The nasty affair was revealed in a brown eight by ten envelope. The contents? A matt photo of the President and Mrs. Bush, in muted tones, down on the ranch, looking very nice. But here is the sinister aspect, beneath the picture it says, "To Alana L Jackson, Thank you for your support of the Republican National Committee. Together we can build a better, safer, more prosperous future for America." So help me it's signed, George Bush.

When she feels like it, I intend to have a photograph taken of Alana L. Jackson and myself, down on our ranch (yet to be purchased), looking very nice and I shall sign it for the two of us. I'll probably say,
"To President George W Bush, thank you for your support of the Democratic National Committee, which is about as unlikely an event as would be Alana supporting the GOP."
End of the affair.
On the other hand, if the First Family sent me such an autographed picture, (you can see I'm slightly jealous), would that put me in the running to be one of their journalists, in the tradition of Armstrong Williams, the right wing commentator who pocketed something like $240,000 from the Department of Education to boost the Bush "No Child Left Behind" program.
Or how about the right-wing commentator Maggie Gallagher who reaped some $40,000 from the government to boost the Bush administration's "strengthening marriage" program. There will be others discovered and revealed, soon.
And while we're at it Mr. President, Social Security was never intended to be an investment mill, geared to maximizing profits. It was, and is, a program to help us in our later years, a simple, straightforward social insurance program. Social Security has been an amazingly successful program ever since FDR signed the legislation into law back in 1935. It has worked extremely well over the years. Yes, some 10% of seniors in this country fall below the poverty mark, but prior to Social Security fully two-thirds of the elderly in the United States ended their lives in desperate conditions of abject poverty. Please Mr. President, don't screw with Social Security. Or as Jim Hightower, who authors the very well-regarded newssheet, "The Hightower Lowdown" headline's his story on the issue, "Last year's Big Lie was a grab for oil; this year's is for our Social Security trillions. Social Security ain't broke, so don't fix it, tweak it."

Bush, the warrior president, in his foreign policy, has made rashness a virtue, certain that real and final victory is right ahead. Is he planning to attack Iran next? Is he aiming at Syria? Old ideas about using force as a final resort have been cast by the wayside in favor of the doctrine of preventive war, insisting that in this post 9/11 world, we have no choice other than to go on the offensive, permanently.
U.S. military strength is holding out well; ours is not a depleted military. But what if we have to double and redouble our commitments by opening the new front against Iran or Iraq...that might well be more costly than we can accept.
I still can't enunciate the original rationale for the war against Saddam Unseeing rationale long forgotten. Mr. Bush what are the emblems of your current approach to strategy?
