What do you say?
By Bill Burkett Online Journal Contributing Writer
March 19, 2003—I've sat in total grief for the past three years, watching the institutions of America being spent as if they were lottery winnings.
I don't want to say it, "But I told you so."
In January of 1998 and what seems like a full lifetime ago, I was stricken by a deadly case of meningoencephalitis. I was returning from a short duty trip to Panama as a team chief to inspect the hand over of Ft. Clayton to the Panamanians. I had been 'loaned' from the senior staff and state planning officer of the Texas National Guard to the Department of the Army for a series of these special projects after angering George W. Bush by refusing to falsify readiness information and reports; confronting a fraudulent funding scheme which kept 'ghost' soldiers on the books for additional funding, and refusing to alter official personnel records [of George W. Bush].
George W. Bush and his lieutenants were mad. They ordered that I not be accessed to emergency medical care services, healthcare benefits I earned by my official duty; and I was withheld from medical care for 154 days before I was withdrawn from Texas responsibility by the Department of the Army, by order of the White House.
I was a pawn then caught in a struggle for right and wrong, but also caught within a political struggle between a man who would do anything to be 'king' of America and an institution of laws that we knew as America.
For five years, I have fought my battles around two fronts; the personal retaliation that was waged against me and the individual organizational unlawful acts and practices waged against our institutions.
I wish someone would help this poor crazy man.. he is obviously nutz and in need of a nut house to go too.. CBS really did use him, but he wanted to be famous for taking our President down, so I hope if he does get a good nut house to go too, Hannibel Lecter is his room mate...
This is not the shiniest penny in the mint.
What language is this?
It is similar to English, American and Texan, but makes no sense in any of them.

Burkett is another Joe Wilson. Look for a book in the next six months..
Deadly? Almost seven years ago? You're taking your own sweet time assuming room temperature, aren't you? Anything we can do to help move things along?
So this is his explanation for his endless bogus "seizures"? Complete psychopathic bovine fecal waste!
He's in the running with that outfit from Louisiana for America's most famous fruitcake.
And this is the guy characterized as an "unimpeachable source" by Dan Rather and CBS.
Okay, the dude is a psycho, but he obviously isn't quite ~dead~ yet!
Hearing his pity party of a life though I was just motivated to Google this disease. Anybody else out there done that yet? I'm not a medical person in any way - but I did find some interesting info.
There are 2 kinds of this of this amebic infection. The one that lists seizures as a symptom is primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). I did not see seizures listed as a symptom of the other type of the stuff.
Furthermore, the rapid progression of the disease makes it difficult to treat. The data I found says there are only 5 people still living who have contacted this infection. Is Burkett one of those 5?
The other type of meningoencephalitis seems just as series but doesn't fit Burkett's description as well, in my completely medically ignorrant opinion. Any medical people out there got anything to tell us about this?
Just one more thing.... don't people who enlist in the military typically do so in the knowledge that they'll encounter something - deadly?
Please use the original title when posting articles. This assist greatly in preventing duplicate postings. Thanks.
Shades of 1943...
:>)
whenever I read the seizures part with him, I think of Ann Couleters great quote in her latest rant..."had a seizure ending his last interview.. an exit Dan Rather is eyeing hungerly as of late" or something like that HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'd tell you to let it go. Anger and rage, merited or not, will kill you. Life has a way of working out, just give it a chance.
Yes! I saw Ann Coulter last Thursday morning in Ft. Worth and she said that there! The whole room errupted in laughter. Classic! Simply classic ANN! :-D

HAHAHAHA
Here's another doozy:
