Revenge of the Creatives LVII

David Petraeus, John Allen and Rock Stars... and don't forget the errant shirtless FBI agent. What do you call a person who chases groupies? ... a four star general? 

"A groupie is a person who seeks emotional and sexual intimacy with a musician or other celebrity or public figure..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupie


They all have Groupies, and remember rock stars have been known to share their groupies.

If it quacks like a duck, guess what? Its a duck or in this case a gaggle of groupies and four stars!

Robert Mueller should remember what the sign on Harry Truman's desk said, "The buck stops here".

Revenge of the Creatives LVI

It's time for Obama to replace Robert Mueller as the DFBI...

It appears that the FBI has started a sniping war against the CIA. Unfortunately their shot against the DCIA wounded the target, he resigned, but the FBI's partisan bumbling is out there for all to see.

Bob Mueller and his gang made a decision that Romney would be the next POTUS. However, they have been watching too much FOX News and believing what they saw. Obama won and as we all know elections have consequences.

We need a new DFBI who is a non partisan professional and not locked into the old cold war view that the CIA is a problem. The FBI and CIA are on the same bench. The FBI's failure to brief Senator Feinstein until three weeks after they read the Boehner gang in, is clear proof of a partisan bias at the FBI. Mueller has to go now...

It is time for Obama to replace Robert Mueller as the DFBI...

Revenge of the Creatives LV

John Boehner, Eric Cantor, David Petraeus, Jill Kelley and the FBI...

Senator Diane Feinstein Chairwoman of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence was not briefed by the FBI, on the DCIA  Petraeus investigation until Friday morning, November 9, 2012.

However,  Republican Speaker John Boehner and the house Republican whip Eric Cantor were informed by the FBI, mid October 2012. In fact Eric Cantor met with Jill Kelley possibly in Tampa, Florida in late October and interviewed her.

Boehner and Cantor were fully briefed by the FBI about the Petraeus investigation in mid October.  Diane Feinstein was not briefed by FBI until last Friday. This all smells like another Linda Tripp partisan hatchet job by the Republicans. 


National Security be dammed, why do Boehner etal think that The Chair of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence does not have a first right of need to know?

As Harry Truman said "If it waddles like a duck..." it's a breach of national security by the Republican House leadership.

David Petraeus, Director, CIA Resigns...

Petraeus' resignation letter follows:

HEADQUARTERS 
Central Intelligence Agency

    9 November 2012


    Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA.  After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair.  Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.  This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation.

    As I depart Langley, I want you to know that it has been the greatest of privileges to have served with you, the officers of our Nation's Silent Service, a work force that is truly exceptional in every regard.  Indeed, you did extraordinary work on a host of critical missions during my time as director, and I am deeply grateful to you for that.

    Teddy Roosevelt once observed that life's greatest gift is the opportunity to work hard at work worth doing.  I will always treasure my opportunity to have done that with you and I will always regret the circumstances that brought that work with you to an end.


    Thank you for your extraordinary service to our country, and best wishes for continued success in the important endeavors that lie ahead for our country and our Agency.

    With admiration and appreciation,


    David H. Petraeus

The Holidays Are Here and were Still at War

The more things change, the more they stay the same, or is it that history just repeats...

The creativity of Brett Dennen... all you have to do is read his reviews:

"A beautiful and spirited record. Instantly likeable." -- John Mayer

"He's timeless, he's probably twenty-five, but he seems like he's twenty five in 1972." -- Rolling Stone

"His music has a playfulness in its bounce while the lyrics ring with a truth beyond his years." -- Michael Franti

"I Asked When" is purely Dylan-esque in a 21st century "Masters of War" kind of way" -- American Songwriter

"So Much More is a joyous dance, deliciously steeped in hope, faith and unconditional love." -- KCRW


Brett released 'The Holidays Are Here and were Still at War' in 2005. I first heard it in September 2005.

Seven years later and were still at war. Call the White House and tell them, BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW... 202-456-1414

You can buy Brett's music here 

 Pilgrims in the parking lot
Arteries clogged with blood clots
Pushing through the aisles of department stores
Neon crosses and Christmas lights
Credit card debts and brand new bikes
The holidays are here and we're still at war

The rabbi reads from the testament
The banker gazes at the year's investments
Salvation santa's solicit for the poor
Deception of democracy
The philanderings of faux foreign policy
The holidays are here and we're still at war

Smoggy skies and fixed elections
Injustice strikes from all directions
People with their backs against the floor
Looking for someone to set us free
A king with fists like Mohammad Ali
The holidays are here and we're still at war

A mother knows what is best for you
Even though it's hard to listen
Your father knows he can count on you
Though you couldn't count on him

Christopher Columbus knew
Vasco De Gama and Magellan too
The profits of oppression grow like never before
All hail to the captalist thief
And mourn your lost ones and covet our grief
The holidays are here and we're still at war

Hurricane waters ravage southern towns
And black and brown people are left to drown
While the White House and the emergency management agency ignores
Victims seek shelter in the Astrodome
And the National Guard says 'Don't go home'
The holidays are here and we're still at war

Police officers hassle the homeless
Domestic disputes, alcohol and violence
The jailhouse opens wide its door
A corporation cuts a million employees
And the factory is moving overseas
The holidays are here and we're still at war

A mother knows what is best for you
Even though it's hard to listen
Your father knows he can count on you
Though you couldn't count on him

Jesus sheds another tear
Into a sea of two thousand years
Into the eve of a new year once more
Tears of joy, resolutions of sorrow
Toast to health and wealth tomorrow
The holidays are here and we're still at war

Religious wars and domination
World trade and globalization
The prices of petroleum soar
Lonesome churches are packed with sinners
Non-believers and new beginners
The holidays are here and we're still at war

Say a prayer for the less fortunate
Prisoners and soldiers you never have met
Understand what it is they're fighting for
Say a prayer for your enemies
Say a prayer for the victims and their families
The holidays are here and we're still at war

Yes, the holidays are here and we're still at war





For another year, thanks Brett and all the best for the New Year

Bennie

Revenge of the Creatives XLVIII

V is for victory. Yes we can and we can do it again and again.

Today we proved once more the impact of the Meg Whitman Maxim. 'Money is no longer the 'mothers milk' of American politics'. Whitman blew $200 million running against Jerry Brown, who spent $27 million and she lost. Over the last few months the Koch brothers, David H. Koch and Charles G. Koch, Sheldon Adelson and many other far right wing billionaires spent over $4 billion to do Obama in. The Republican Party spent the last four years doing all they could, to make Obama and the Democratic Party fail... and they were walked over by, 'We the people', the 99%. 

We the 99% won in a land slide. Yes we did.



BTW, thanks for voting and helping to stick it to red Rupert Murdoch, the Koch brothers and all the other negative nay saying loosers on the right... the 1%

Revenge of the Creatives XLVII

Yes we can... YES WE HAVE!

The VOTE... The hour glass is out of sand

Good morning all, here is the Bennie book on today's election...

The next POTUS will be Obama

The Democrats will gain in the senate

The Democrats will gain in the House of Representatives, possibly even a majority

The really good news, Alan West will be out in Florida,  Michele Bachmann will be out in Minnesota. Elizabeth Warren will win in Massachusetts, Claire McCaskill in Missouri.

Don't forget that god is a woman with a fierce sense of humor

Now get out and vote Obama and then... give him hell in 2013...  to DO SOMETHING



On Thursday, June 21, 2012 I blogged

 HEY USA, it's your choice...
 A Third World USA or a few more taxes?

 Meanwhile, the TSA is making us all safe...
al-Qaeda and their friends have obtained
much more than they could have imagined.
Their actions have lead to the bankrupting
of the USA and set the country onto a fast
ride of paranoia and fear, to become a
third world nation.

From his first day in office, GWB was hell
bent to destroy the middle class and the 

Republicans did all the could to block
Obama's efforts to improve things. When
was a young man, I called this 'a scorched
earth retreat', I guess nothing much has
changed...

The electorate stood by and let the Supreme
Court decide that GWB should win the 2000
election, re-elected him in 2004 and filled
the congress in 2008 with inexperienced
legislators, who believe that "Me First" is
best and that the USA is not on planet earth...

Iraq and Afghanistan will cost the USA
half a trillion dollars this year, when you
count the published budget, the black
budget and the 'off the books' appropria-
tions. The defense budget has increased
by 85% in the last ten years and the US
will spend more on defense this year, than
the next five countries combined. $3.5
trillion was stolen from the Social
Security Trust Fund and we are told
that, "we can't afford to pay it back" All
of this, while the domestic fabric of our
nation is being disintegrated and dissociated.
Well then the people must decide, as
California's Governor Jerry Brown is doing
his best to show all of us, we either pay
a little more in taxes along with the cuts...

Or it's a Third World USA. 


SO VOTE OBAMA




Best regards 


Bennie
