no image description available — Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas

Senator Mark Pryor of Arkansas

When I started reading about Mr. Pryor and his background I was immediately taken with an ap image by Danny Johnston in a USA Today story of Mr. Pryor holding up a sign that said "Arkansas comes first." It started me thinking. What does come first? Is a Senators duty to his state or to the country at large? Mr. Pryor did the right thing in regards to the healthcare program. Why did he fail the country at large in reference to gun background checks?

I'm astounded at the behavior of the folks in our senate in allowing rapists, criminals and terrorists to have access to weapons without background checks. They have ignored the bulk of the folks in America. Especially egregious are the Democrats that worked with the Republicans to deny the American people Background checks that work. Heidi Heidekamp is one of those that really didn't have to vote the way she did since she has 5 years before reelection. This is a caricature of her this week. Each week I am going to try to feature each of those that voted against the checks starting with the Democrats.

Heidi for Criminals?

On the channel 8 website a recent article here: Obama Supporters in Hawaii Use Internet As Campaign Weapon speaks to the intense interest the Obama campaign is generating in Hawaii. Now bear in mind that although we are a small state, we are pretty sophisticated about some things, stardom, fame, notoriety are all ho hum part of the normal landscape for us since back in the day when we would find ourselves shopping for vegetables at Star Market along side Jack Lord or nowadays Dog the Bounty Hunter. On the other hand, I'll bet Beth shops for the vegetables in their family.

This is the Hall of Shame. The names of the folks that voted for the war and against ending it. First the list of the names of the creeps in the senate who voted no on the bill to end the war.

Last weekend I went to the Four Seasons restaurant on the beach on the Kona coast of The Big Island of Hawaii. It is in an exclusive resort situated way out on the now called "gold coast" coastline, in the middle of the ancient lava fields, now blooming with exotic flowers, soil brought from elsewhere and sand to construct the beach that was imported from New Zealand.

Hawaii Representative Ed Case (related to AOL/Time Warner Steve Case) has decided to run against Senator Dan Akaka (He voted against the war) and against the establishment of the old line Democrats. He seems impatient to get on with his next career move, and in declaring his candidacy he is cutting in line, ahead of loyal Dem (he voted against the war) Representative Neil Abercrombie and in essence telling Akaka he is "too old" and to "get out of the way." Not good manners haole boy! Read More

I once had a German lady friend, since passed on, a translator for the allies at Nurenburg, who told me , over oysters and beer, in the early sixties, that she and the other German citizens had "no idea" that there were death camps in Germany and Poland. She said to me with wide open eyes, that it was done in her and other...... Read More

The illegal terrorist incursion into the sovereign country of Iraq by the USA showcases for the world and ourselves just exactly who we are. We are George W. Bush.

It is us that likes to dress up in our war gear and pose for pictures on the deck of a aircraft carrier in an embarrassing display of premature ejaculation. That is us.

In order to make change, we must own the concept that George W. Bush like it or not is us. If we look in the mirror and don't like what we see then we need to change us. As a society we have to understand that it is not okay to be ignorant and stupid. It is not okay to cheat and lie and that the end does not justify the means.

We have to change, to make things right, to make them "pono."

I have been wondering if there could be a connection between the Artic Polar Cap meltdown the fact that every few million years the earth does a flip flop, the south pole then suddenly occupies the same place in space that the north pole previosly did and visa versa. Some scientests suggest there might be some relationship between these two phenomena. As one might imagine this would totally disrupt the planet and we would be back at the starting place, primordial soup. The following links are very informative.
