"Every scandal, it seems, produces at least
one classic and defining euphemism -- a judiciously chosen word or phrase
diligently employed to sugarcoat the sour reality at hand...And now we have corporate
America's glittering contribution: "restatement of earnings." It sounds
so innocuous and benign. Possibly even a good thing. Earnings are good after
all. And "restating" is just the boardroom equivalent of asking for a do-over on
the playground. It connotes a slip of the tongue, a wrongly chosen word, a failure
to carry the 1 when doing your math homework. What it doesn't sound like
is, well, what it is: out-and-out fraud involving the fleecing of billions of
dollars from shareholders and pension funds." --Arianna Huffington
Heir
to the Holocaust Prescott Bush, 1.5 million dollars and Auschitz: How the Bush Family wealth is linked to the Jewish Holocaust
Two Excerpts: According to classified documents from
Dutch intelligence and US government archives,
President George W. Bush's grandfather,
Prescott Bush made considerable profits off
Auschwitz slave labor. In fact, President
Bush himself is an heir to these profits from the
holocaust which were placed in a blind
trust in 1980 by his father, former president
George Herbert Walker Bush.
and
Six days after Pearl Harbor and the US declaration
of war at the end of 1941,
FDR signed the Trading With the Enemy Act,
which banned any business interests
with US enemies of war. Prescott Bush continued
with business as usual, aiding the
Nazi invasion of Europe and supplying resources
for weaponry that would eventually
be turned on American solders in combat
against Germany.
Excerpt: Larry Klayman said Wednesday he was suing
Vice President Oil and Halliburton,
alleging fraudulent accounting practices
at the company.
The lawsuit alleges that the accounting
fraud led to shareholder losses, claiming
Halliburton overstated revenues by $445
million from 1999 through the end of 2001.
Corporate
Rogues Count on the G.O.P. by Joe Conason
Excerpt: The funding contributed by business to
Democrats is a fraction of what those same interests
regularly give to Republicans, for one
obvious reason: Republican policy is utterly reliable in
its deference to their demands. This week's
news of revenue "enhancement" by Merck & Co.
offered an indirect reminder of those basic
facts. Merck's political contributions are heavily
Republican, and its C.E.O. was selected
by President Bush to chair the administration's transition panel on health care.

in Saudi Arabia
Arab
boycott affecting US, though its cause is not understood
Excerpt: The terrorism attacks of Sept. 11 also
deeply effected US-Arab tourism, education
and trade, which once strengthened ties
between the US and the Arab world,
despite quarrels over US support for Israel
and other foreign affair disputes.
The Saudis, for example, used to flock to
Disney World on Saudi Arabia Airlines’
weekly flights from Jeddah to Orlando.
Now demand has evaporated and the flights
have been canceled.

Bush
calls for his own crooked ass to be arrested!
Excerpts:
"My administration will end the days of cooking
the books, shading the truth and breaking our laws."
"We will use the full weight of the law to expose
and root out corruption."
"We need a financial crimes SWAT team, overseeing
the abuse."
...then, just like Jim Livingston, he said, "and
just to prove I mean business, ...just to show I can take my own advice
...arrest my crooked ass."
It was the first time I've been able to respect something President
Junior has done.

Things
to do in Vegas without drinking or gambling:
12. The Bellagio One of the nicest hotels in the
world. From Christmas
in Vegas: We walked
in the lobby of The Bellagio and were slammed by the aroma
of fresh-cut
flowers. You can't fake that.
The
lobby is chock-full of fresh flowers, and it hits you like a wave.
Mrs.
BartCop grabbed my arm and made me stop.
She
looked up at the ceiling with it's 5,000 just-cut fresh flowers
and
took a deep breath. "This doesn't smell like Oklahoma," she said.

Vegas Report
The Bellagio is so classy, on the walls of their restaurants,
they have paintings by Van Gogh, Picasso and Monet.
13.Hear the
Juliefest SoundtrackThe best music ever! There's a whole lotta Garbage, but also the best

More Things
to do in Las Vegas tomorrow...
J.Lo
and Ben Check in at Deli
Report: Jennifer Lopez and my good friend Ben Affleck
are so close, they even shop for groceries together.
We've been thrown a curve.
Julie is unable to be in Las Vegas on September 28th.
That would seem to leave us with at least two options:
If you're like me (Koresh help you) and already have your airfare
locked in,
we can still have a reduced-cost, less-than celebrity party and
have a good time.
We can take over the Pink
Taco and run them out of ultra-fine, luxury tequila.
What the hell - we can call it "BartFest."
We've been talking about doing one of these for years anyway,
and frankly,
the Julie fundraiser in D.C. put us in a slightly negative asset
situation.
This, of course, depends on you-all. If you would like to
attend a party in Vegas
on that weekend, let us know and we will move forward with the
planning.
I think we should party, but then, that's my answer to everything.
Ticket prices would be lowered to $75, and the proceeds would
be used to
support the Web site and to reimburse us for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred
at JulieFest2002-DC (and obviously to pay for the Vegas
party itself).
If you're not interested, we will refund whatever money you've
sent in.
So let us know what you want to do. Hope we see you in Vegas.

Excerpt: It was Limbaugh's GOP majority who then
changed the law in 1995, shielding
outside accountants, law firms, CEOs and
directors from liability for false
corporate reporting. Limbaugh and his 20
million listeners cheered them on
every step of the way as they passed the
bill over President Clinton's veto.
Now see?
I didn't know that.
The reason I didn't know that is because nobody told me.
The Democrats refuse to stand up and defend themselves, or Bill
Clinton.
The whore press is certainly not going to give us the facts.
If it wasn't for
The Daily Brew I STILL wouldn't know it, and maybe you
wouldn't, either.

Can
you hear that?
If you listen real close, you can hear the sound of Nevada's electoral
votes falling
into the pocket of the Democratic nominee in 2004. The
GOP is forcing a vote to
make Nevada eat America's nuclear waste, after Smirk promised
he wouldn't.
Hey, don't laugh!
If Gore had won Nevada last time,
September 11th would've been just another day in the Clinton
Miracle.
