i want to know...

I just want to know:

How come after WikiLeaks announced that it had some heavy duty scoop on a mega bank in this country, a team of 15 to 20 top Bank of America officials, led by the chief risk officer, Bruce R. Thompson, has been overseeing a broad internal investigation — scouring thousands of documents in the event that they become public, reviewing every case where a computer has gone missing and hunting for any sign that its systems might have been compromised. (NYT)

I just wonder why the bank needs to NOW do some investigation on its actions trying to cover up its behavior and professional response during the meltdown of our economy. Why is hindsight usually the remedy for no sight?


Where is the voice for Jesus, Pat Robertson, (who is always stating some idiotic rhetoric about the Gays having something to about the destruction of nature) speaking up about the death of wildlife in the state of Arkansas? Seems anytime there is a natural disaster, or calamity of Biblical proportions the reverend has deemed the Gays responsible. Since he proclaimed God caused a blizzard in NYC to stop the gays from vacationing, maybe after the blizzard the Gays all came to Arkansas.

State officials on Monday were investigating why 80,000 to 100,000 fish washed up dead on the shores of the Arkansas River last week. The mass kill occurred just one day before thousands of blackbirds dropped dead from the sky in Beebe, Ark., which is 125 miles away. (msnbc.com)

The evidence appears overwhelming. An investigator for the Army’s Criminal Investigative Division, which has been looking into the death, has told Sergeant Senft’s father by e-mail that his son was found dead with a single bullet hole in his head, a stolen M-4 automatic weapon in his hands and his body slumped over in the S.U.V., which was parked outside the air base’s ammunition supply point. By his side was his cellphone, displaying a text message with no time or date stamp, saying only, “I don’t know what to say, I’m sorry.” (NYT)

How come it always seems like a surprise when one of our troops commit suicide, comes home with brain trauma, hurts mentally and finds it difficult to settle back to the red white and blue life of America? Why does it always take an inquiry, a background check, a look of shock by the Armed Services when the troops come home damaged? Why are the facts never quite believed? Why isn’t the obvious observed?

The Republican/Tea Bag newly elected politicians, the ones who swore it was all about the economy, and the ones who insisted the wealthy must remain wealthy while the poor to middle class remain poor to poorer, have decide that one of their first propaganda ploys is to attack the Health Care Bill. How come jobs, jobs, jobs are not the action plan for this newly elected Congress? Why will they be wasting time and valuable resources to undo something that most Conservative Christians (you know, the real ones, the ones with true values) might find so Jesus like---helping the downtrodden and weak?

Eager to show who's now in charge, the House's new Republican majority plans to vote to repeal President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul before he even shows up in their chamber to give his State of the Union address.

The strategy is not risk-free for the Republicans, who won't have a replacement plan of their own ready by the time of the repeal vote. But they say there's no time to lose. (AP)

I just want to know why even in the third day of 2011, the news sounds as familiar and disgusting as most of the news in 2010. I just want to know when sanity will reclaim the consciousness of more Americans. I want to know when selfish will be replaced with self-less, when greed will be replaced with good, and when insincere is pushed away for sincerity?

Damn it, I just want to know!
