The President has said one of the reasons we went to Iraq was to remove the corrupt and despotic Ba'athist regime.

Having disbanded the Iraqi Army and prohibited all the Ba'athist Party members in Saddam Hussien's regime from holding office, the US government led coalition in Iraq comprising the US Army, Great Britain and the nation of Halliburton has now decided all is forgiven and they can all come back and rejoin the army and help run the government.

Why? Because there is no army to protect the government that doesn't exist that is taking over from the coalition in 60 days.

Is this starting to sound like Catch-22?

Well the new Bob Woodward book about the President and how we got into the Iraq War seems to have hit a few nerves at the White House. Having invited the fox into the chicken coop they all seem to be surprised that he has pronounced the coop to be full of foxes.

The President has deferred to a legion of press secretaries, Colin Powell is saying he wasn't out of the loop but doesn't know which one of the loops he wasn't out of, Rumsfield is tongue tied and Cheney is missing. No surprises there.

As for the Democrats, they're saying they knew this was a shell game all along............ even when they voted for it. Makes you want to go out and volunteer for the Army all over again.

It's cough it up day again. The day we pay all kinds of our money to support all kinds of things we probably don't agree with,....unless it's for us.

Course everybody is talking tax reform. They always do this time of year, but if you want real reform declare April 15th a holiday, let everyone file their income tax and use the day for all of our elections........ Then you'll see reforms.

Surprise! Surprise! To his credit the President actually gave a real press conference last night, questions included.

That means we all now know if and when we are getting out of Iraq, why we are there to begin with and who we are turning the country over to on June 30th. We also know who might have dropped the ball on 9-11, what mistakes the President admits to making and why he's taking Dick Cheney with him to testify before the 9-11 Commission. We also know Who's on first, What's on second and Idunno's on third

Personally I heard all of the questions but happened to be preoccupied and must have missed all the answers so will have to catch them later in the history books.

The President is going to give what the White House calls a press conference tonite. While actually they call it a press conference but all he is going to give is a statement in front of the press with no questions, which sort of makes it a press lecture.

Anyway, we can assume at the "Press Lecture" that we will get the official dope on the 9-11 fiasco, the Iraq fiasco, maybe even the the economic fiasco. I'm not sure I understand why they are bothering to tell us. We already know it is going to be someone else's fault. The bumblings of the FBI & CIA, the Iraqi's & their failure to become Americans, the French. But to his credit the President is going to offer a solution............. new tax cuts.

MULTIPLE CHOICE

The administration says we are bringing democracy to __________ (fill in blank). (Vietnam, Iraq)

The method we are using will be the army. The route will be that an American designated government is going to take over the country at the end of June. Our army will stay to insure that the democracy we install doesn't fall to insurgents. The President ( at a news conference from his ranch in Texas) says the country is getting back to normal and we should be prepared to stay for a long time. The natives are shooting at us. We need to send more troops.

Sound familiar?

Exciting times in Iraq. Having been liberated from Saddam Hussein the Iraqi's are working their way towards a democratic government in June by shooting their guns in the air, a traditional way of celebrating in the Arab world. After all, with desert everywhere, what are you going to hit.

This past week they have been practicing for the pending celebration by shooting at each other, setting things on fire and rioting. They don't seem to be too particular about who they celebrate with. Sunni's are shooting at Shiites, Shiites are shooting at Kurds and everybody is shooting at the Americans.

This summer we may well be able to celebrate our Independence Day while observing the democratization of Iraq's Civil War.

"The Donald" as Donald Trump likes to call himself is running around New York City firing young apprentices in front of the tv cameras as an abject lesson in how to be as successful as "The Donald" is. His name, according to him, is synonymous with big business and big wealth and success.

He fails to mention the airline with his name on it that he flew into the ground in the 90's, the Atlantic City casino's with his name on them that almost went under about the same time and are about to go under again. Nor does he mention the bankers and investors who haven't fired him because they're financially in so deep they will go under with him.

So if you want to learn the real lesson of how to make money by "The Donald's" rules, ask "The Donald" to borrow some of his money that he borrowed from other people and can't pay back and see if "The Donald" lets you play in "his" game.

Well it's April Fool's Day. Here in New York we celebrate it annually by not having a state budget in place. This time it's the 20th year in a row.

It's hard to figure out what the governor, the state senate and the assembly are arguing about. They ran out of money years ago. Now they are only deciding how to spend the money their grandkids (who will be elsewhere by then) will have.

This year they have a solution. Since they can't meet an April 1st deadline, they want to move the budget deadline date to July 1st. That way we can have another holiday called July Fools Day. Only in New York.

Well the news is in on who made all the money last year. According to the Fortune 500 it's in oil, banking and drugs. Now isn't that a revelation.

For those of you who invested in unflavored toothpaste, horse collars and AM radios, my condolences. Personally I was betting on wine, women and song on the premise of being where I thought the money went. Apparently another loser, at least with the investment folks.

It would seem the boys that are making the cash on oil, in banking and by peddling pharmaceuticals prefer having their fun at our expense.
