"We need an energy bill that encourages consumption."
--
Monkey Brains, Trenton Sep. 23, 2002
His former school teachers must be soooooo ashamed.
Words
of war, phrases that frighten
Peace? Justice? George Bush doesn't
even know the meaning
Excerpt:
"The American Republican Right really hate plain
words. This is why they say
"liberating Iraq" when they mean seizing
its oil and making a lot of money.
This is why they now say "George Bush is
a man of peace" when they mean
he'll go to war at the drop of a hat for
no good reason and he's "routinely"
bombing Iraqi "installations" every day.
And when they say "regime change"
they mean, or could mean, 'Armageddon.'"
Geez, there are dozens more:
"Compassionate conservative,"
for a guy who holds the Western Hemisphere record for state murders.
"Leave no child behind," from the guy who guts education funding.
"I'm a uniter," from the guy who labeled McCain "a Vietnam traitor."
<sigh>
...but Bush's good puppy press loves him.
U.S. Oil Politics in the 'Kuwait of Africa'
Excerpt:
The Bush Administration's national energy
policy, released last May, predicted
that West Africa would become "one of the
fastest-growing sources of oil and
gas for the American market." The year
before, Paul Michael Wihbey of
Washington's Institute for Advanced Strategic
and Political Studies described
West Africa as "an area of vital US interest"
in testimony before Congress.
Announcement:
We at the B.F.E.E. are proud to announce we have taken
over Equatorial Guinea as
part of our "Dominate Earth 2002 Tour,"
and
we would like to thank the Carlyle
Group, the US Defense Department, and the American taxpayer for
their contributions
in making this acquisition such a cost-effective one for the
Bush Family Evil Empire.
Those who helped will be given an extra two gallons of fresh drinking water.
You see, here at the B.F.E.E., it's not about us, it's about our "associates."
Outrage
Lynn Cheney (R-Harpy) is on Page One of USA Today's "Life" section,
posing with a couple of "negroes" because it's campaign season
again.
Trust me, the ONLY time a Cheney or a Bush (or anyone in
the GOP) has a
moment for a negro is when a campaign is underway and a camera
is nearby.
Of course, we could never expect the "liberal media" to point
this out,
because they're too busy licking Bush's boots, prepping him
for a second term.
I'm gratified that the Blacks of America don't fall for this.
The GOP would tell you
(and Rush has) that Blacks are "too stupid" to know that the
GOP is better for them.
Uncle O.J. Watt's dad said it best:
"A Black man voting GOP is like
a chicken voting for Colonel
Sanders."
Meet
the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss
by Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
...it's everybody's patriotic duty to keep
a straight face. That's why the serious news
broadcasts and the heavyweight pundits
ignored Junior's unintentionally hilarious
performance in Nashville last week. Speaking
to one of his preferred audiences of
schoolchildren, Bush told them Saddam can't
be trusted.
"There's an old saying in Tennessee," he
began.
"I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee--it
says 'fool me once..."
A long pause ensued.
A befuddled, then somewhat panicky expression
appeared on Bush's face.
"Shame on...shame on...you."
Second pause.
"Fool me...can't get fooled again," he
finally blurted out.
Unrelated Sidebar:
The new CBS hit "C.S.I. - Miami" is using "Won't
Get Fooled Again" as their theme song.
The original C.S.I. uses the Tally Brigg's theme,
"Who
Are You?"

Corporate News Merger
I see where CBS and ABC are talking about merging their news
divisions.
(USA Today has a story on it.)
This is a great cost-cutting move. This way, instead of
paying both Judas Maximus
and Bob Schieffer to quick-call the 2004 election for
Bush, they only have to pay one.
Hey guys, why bother?
Just wait until Russert calls the 2004 election for Bush and save both salaries.
"I'm a Bush whore!"
Quotes
"Did Congress demand any limits on presidential
powers in Kosovo?
Was there even a resolution?
Did they ever demand a single limit
on Clinton's military actions?"
--Rush, who can't figure out
the difference between a jet fighter safely cruising
at 15,00
feet and thousands of ground troops going building-to-building
in Baghdad
looking for Cheney's biggest oil-field equipment customer.
Fordham Fumes over Columbia's Church Joke
Excerpt:
Columbia University's marching band hit
the Catholic Church below the belt
during a weekend football game - by announcing
that rival Fordham's tuition is
"going down like an altar boy,"
fuming critics charge.
Y'know, someday these jokes will stop.
But they won't stop until the Church gets honest.
CrimQuips
by Barry Crimmins
Excerpt:
It's nice to see that our court-appointed
president is looking out for
our interests by openly pining for a reactionary
German government.
You know, the kind of German leadership
that understands the
reactionary desire for world domination.
I guess W won't be happy until someone says: "I knew Adolf Hitler ...and you're Adolf Hitler."

West
Wing tries to get back on track
Two hour premier tonight
Excerpt:
The fourth season begins with Bartlet diving
headfirst into his reelection campaign,
with Dim Son act-alike James Brolin his
opponent. That gives "The West Wing"
a path to follow, at least for a few months
- and with Sorkin acknowledging the
show needs work, who better to right the
course?
Quotes
"The latest topic on the left is the 'cost'
of the war on terror.
September 11th cost us over $1 trillion
in the stock market alone.
Therefore, the question should be:
Can we afford not to fight this war?"
--Rush, saying
if we lost a billion dollars, we should throw away another billion
to make it even.
The Pieman
Bush
Administration Heeds Windbags of War
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
There is no military reason to rush into
war without an international coalition and the color
of international law. There are, as Al
Gore bravely pointed out on Sept. 23 in San Francisco,
many diplomatic and strategic reasons not
to do so. The Bush White House is so worked up over
Iraq that it’s discarding our long relationship
with Germany, a powerful partner, in a tantrum. This is
infantile behavior, not grown-up diplomacy
—and it can’t be explained by the urgency of the Iraqi threat."
The
Bush Boys 
For a decade, Mother Jones has been telling readers about the
shoddy business practices of George W., Jeb and Neil Bush.
Excerpt:
The president's brother Neil, who helped
run a Colorado savings and loan into
the ground, costing taxpayers $1
billion, has continued to profit from his family's influence.
Oh, sure, but if the Clintons lose $30K in a bad
land deal, Richie Scaife and the B.F.E.E.
and the stinking media whores go after them non-stop for
a goddamn decade.
Where's the honesty in news broadcasting?
Where the integrity of Edward R Murrow?
"I
was
a liberal, but when
Jack
Welch made me rich
I
became Bush's whore."
Iraq:
"Merely a first step?"
by Carla Binion
Excerpt:
The Boston Globe reports that the Bush
administration war hawks have for
many years planned to "reshape" the Middle
East. Iraq is "merely a first step."
"After an ouster of Hussein," according to the
Globe, "the United States will
have more leverage to act against Syria
and Iran."
As the Globe article makes clear, oil
and domination of the region are primary concerns,
not any "threat" from Saddam Hussein. Some
of the hawks claim they want to create
"democracy" in the region, but they have
lied about that concern in the past.
You mean this war (and this administration) is about oil and
nothing more?
I mean, ...who knew?
Duh!
The voters knew, that's why they rejected his crooked ass at
the ballot box.
Thanks to Carla Binion - one of the best!
(I wonder if her family owns Binion's
Horseshoe in Vegas?)

Quotes
"Have you ever seen a tax increase or government
program that ended up
costing what they say it's going to
cost? No, they always cost more."
--Rush, explaining that Bush's Oil War will cost a lot more than Bush claims
Best served cold...
I bet you never dreamed in a million years
that the Cowboys would
have a better record than the Rams when
they played. did you?
Me neither :-)

What a stunning blow to the gut that was.

Great Historical Quotes
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war
in order to whip the citizenry
into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism
is indeed a double-edged sword. It both
emboldens the blood, just as it narrows
the mind.... And when the drums of war
have reached a fever pitch and the
blood boils with hate and the mind has closed,
the leader will have no need in seizing
the rights of the citizenry.
Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear
and blinded with patriotism, will offer up
all of their rights unto the leader,
and gladly so. How do I know?
For this is what I have done. ...and
I am President Pinhead."
Idea from an e-mail by Betty Bowers
Call me wishy-washy,
Call me a fence-sitter,
Call me "Mr. Waffle," ...if you must,
but I'm beginning to think the Greens are right when they say,
"There's not a dime's bit of difference
between Gore and Bush."
I now hereby admit that that is true.
There is (so far) a five
trillion dollar difference between
Gore and Bush and the B.F.E.E. is just starting
to roll up their sleeves.
Another difference is between a shaken nation at war, and a nation at peace.
Another difference is between a man who is too stupid
to learn and doesn't want to learn,
and the man ther voters picked in the last election, a man smart
enough to negotiate arms control
treaties with the Russians back when Usurper was still drinking,
coking and whoring.
I can see hueueueuge differences between the two,
so yeah,
they're right when they say, "There's
not a dime's bit of difference."

War is a Lousy Way to Win an Election
Excerpt:
Americans are traumatized by the attack
carried out a year ago, and we are rightfully battling
to ensure that such villainies do not occur
in the future. The administration has consciously chosen
to play on people's real fears of Al-Qaida
in order to create the election-season war hysteria.
It implies we will somehow be safer from
Al-Qaida if we depose Saddam."
...and the gullible bastards are falling for it!
Woo Hoo!

Vegas
Stuff
You Vegas-haters - just take it like a
man - it's almost over.
Like most things, I could've handled this better, but maybe we
should have
"touchstone" people to relay messages, coordinate transporation,
inform others etc.
For instance - Dan Klinger is staying at The
Gold Coast.
A lot of people are staying at the Gold Coast - so why should
everyone
get a separate cab to ride over to the Hard Rock for the bus
ride?
If you're at the Gold Coast, call Dan's room starting Thursday
if you want news,
or to group up for a cab, or the location of the Friday after-bus
party, etc.
If he's not there, leave a message and he'll get back to you.
So call Dan Klinger at the Gold
Coast for updates.
Call Terry Hanna's room (Rude^Boyee in chat) at
The Rio
for updates, too.
I'll bet Terry will soon know which room the Party
of the Year will be in.
We could probably use more "touchstones," maybe one for
downtown
and maybe a miscellaneous person for miscellaneous locals
and stuff.
We also need a plan for those getting in Friday AFTER the Magic
Bus ride.
Lots of West Coasters are getting in late after working Friday.
We need a way to tell them where the after-bus party is Friday
The fifty of us who are there Friday can't just take over some
bar, but maybe we
can swarm some bar in a casino (The Rio might make the
most sense) and do
some gambling and even have a "hospitality" room upstairs for
people to meet.
me if you
want to be a "touchstone," (that's a dumb name, I know)
You non-touchstoners?
It couldn't hurt to tell us where you're staying if you want to
be involved in the group stuff.
You already have my cell phone number, it wouldn't hurt for me
to have yours.
The last thing we want is to not connect after
we paid to get there.
Sidebar:
It goes without saying that anyone who
is drinking at this party can't drive.
Cabs are cheap in Vegas, $10 will get you
anywhere you need to go.
Plus there will be people not drinking,
maybe you can hitch a ride to your hotel.
We don't want to have to organize a bail
party for anybody Sunday.
