PHIL LOSSIFER


Jes askin':
      Tsunami coverage is good, 'cept all the channels had the same visuals. Looks like 24/7 news runs outta tape, hafta use other sources. Media, however, din't waste time on good happenin's by people. It's good news fer bad ratin's. Jes askin'
      Most people know I'd talk to a wall if it'd listen, but govmint leaders have serious problems. Seems they don't identify with the common people's problems. Fer example, debate over Ohio election results showed exactly how divided people are. Republicans stated Demmycrats were sore losers, but what if those irregularities were valid. Was Kerry threatened by either or? Jes askin'!
      Why do security people give nitwits ideas fer violence? Certainly Al Queda have people of their own, in this country t' boot. Our trains are unsafe 'nuff as it is, ride one sometime, like ruts down a back road. An' aside, when safety conflicts with the bottom line, does safety go out the winder? Jes askin'.
      Tragedy in Far East shows American troops usin' backhoes an' dozers do more good than bullets t' help people. Bullets are preferred so's generals have somethin' t'do. Why do Iraqi terrorists destroy their country 'stead o' lettin' our troops fix things? Jes askin'.
      Bush wants t' revamp the tax code: Ever' time the tax code is revised, it gits more complicated an' more tax breaks fer political friends an' outsourcin' corporations? Will there be a real change? Jes askin'.
      Bush wants t'change social security. Here's the simple way: Congress should legislate people under fifty have 1 or 2 percent in payroll deductions placed in accounts, usin' NYSE or NASDAQ t'invest funds fer fee. No removal til age 65 then funds're payable like social security on retirement an' balance the estate? No 401(k) funny stuff! Jes askin'.
      Why din't CBS continue looking 'fer Bush's guard performance data instead o' sacrificin' underlings t' satisfy the Rove/Carl political machine? Rather an' CBS have tried t' nail govmint biggies with their programmin'. Was CBS threatened? Jes askin'.
      When will Congress an' Media realize their duties t' American public is to serve an' ask questions. When will moneyed interests be reduced so's the common man kin git his fair shake? Jes askin'.
      Mexico's booklet on how t' sneak inta America may've been written by Al Queda fer terrorists use? Will Mexico's president demand Bush give votin' rights t'illegals? Jes askin'.
      Final one: Why isn't Pataki toutin' upstate fer new industry? He's ignorin' upstate's industry loss. Where're our legislators? Sleepin'? Jes askin', nuff sed!
