How do these guys qualify as a 501-c3?

Send Asshat Annan a Piece of Your Mind

Via LGF, comes this opportunity at Code PINK to send Lord Blue Helmet, Kofi Annan a piece of your mind.  I altered their default Pro-Iran message slightly (lol).  Enjoy.

A WAR WITH IRAN

To the Dishonorable Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mother Ship of Globalists and Blue Helmet Kiddie Porns Distributors

Dear Komrade,

I am not at all appalled that the United States is threatening a military strike against Iran, possibly using nuclear weapons. As you are well aware, a preventive strike is illegal under international law, and the threat to use nuclear weapons against Iran, a non-nuclear weapons state, is a violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that the United States has signed, but that's fine because we all should  understand how foolish and short-sighted those treaties are by now.  A nuclear strike against Iran would undermine the entire legal framework of disarmament and non-proliferation that so many millions of people around the world, and the United Nations itself, have worked so hard to build and protect.  This begs the question of whether or not the UN is a dated communist pipedream which is unable to effectively pursue peace, but I digress.

As the head of the United Nations, the suppository of foolishness known by the euphamism "international law," you called the U.S./UK invasion of Iraq what it was:  illegal.  And this was after you gave them permission after they begged for it.  Some kind of world government you are.  Now we call on you to tell the Bush administration and the world:

--That any preventive military invasion against Iran is unwise.

--That even threatening a nuclear strike against Iran - a non-nuclear weapons state - is much more practical, and is a better allocation of government resources.  Bush won't listen to taxpayers on the matter, but maybe the head of the  UN can convince him.

--That a nuclear strike threatens dire consequences - maybe even global war.  Then you will be jobless if this happens, so it's one more reason I support the use of nukes.  Down with the UN; viva la mushroom cloud!

We urge you to make a nuclear solution to this crisis your top priority.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Josh Koch, Proud citizen of the United States

I'm signer 2800. LOL

Note: I noticed some grammar errors after signing the petition.  I corrected those here.

Read my lips...

...I did not own Halliburton stock.

Michael Moore's Wellstone dinner speech is full of laughs.  Moore defends his claim to Flint Davison Flint as a hometown, denies owning stock, dodges the wascally FOX network, etc.

If you don't have anything elso to do...go watch it.

While you're at it, get a load of this coverage of some local "Impeach Bush" groupies.  These ones seem fairly tame compared to their organizational compadres in DC, as covered by Michelle Malkin.

And now, for something compmletely different.

Looks like the socialists/communists have the most intriguing take on the mine disaster in WV.  Smash the capitalist oppressor, up with the workers, and all that.

COAL BOSSES MURDER 12 MINERS

SAGO, WEST VIRGINIA, Jan. 4 -- Eleven miners were murdered in an explosion in a mine filled with deadly carbon dioxide, owned by the ICG conglomerate, a mine cited for 202 violations in 2005. Sixteen citations were for "unwarrantable failure orders," problems that a mine owner "knows exists but fails to correct. Thirteen of these orders were issued in the past six months." (NY Times, 1/4/06) The company was fined $24,000 for these 202 citations, an average of $118 per violation.

Since June the mine has had 15 roof-falls or wall collapses, "an unusually high number...indicative of roof-control problems." The mine also had "dangerous accumulations of coal dust....which is highly combustible."

The dead miners' families experienced an excruciating turn of events when at one point the bosses and the deputy secretary of the state's Dept. of Military Affairs and Public Safety said the miners were alive, "being examined at the mine...and would soon be taken to nearby hospitals." (NYT) This was exposed as a blatant lie when three hours later the overjoyed families were told that the eleven were dead.

Such is the life of a worker under capitalism where profits are supreme and bosses such as these mine owners look on paltry fines as merely a "fee" for doing business, while these coal barons' government hardly gives them a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile, the miners' families must suffer the rest of their lives without fathers, husbands or brothers.

A system that destroys the lives of workers in this fashion must be smashed.

Wow.  And I thought this was just about rescues and safety, not a political action trigger.  Guess I was wrong.
