"Thank you, sir. I would have a question for
Mr. Bush. Once, President Kennedy said,
"Everyone has two countries, their own, and
France." And why is it that your policy tends to
be pushing your country and France
to divorce? Second point, some in public opinion have
accused you of state terrorism, and
do you not believe that what has happened in Abu Ghraib
has put you in the same basket, as
it were, of Saddam Hussein, especially in the eyes of an
international tribunal, and especially
in light of the unfound weapons of mass destruction?

Diebold
Halts Top Execs' Political Gifts
Crooked company trying to look legit for the next 5 months
Excerpt:
Diebold Inc., criticized last year for
selling electronic voting machines while its chairman raised money for
Republicans, has banned its senior executives
from making such donations.
The company's board of directors last week
passed an amendment to its business ethics policy, according to
a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. It states that top Diebold officials "may not make
contributions to, directly or indirectly,
any political candidate, party, election issue or cause, or participate
in
any political activities, except for voting."
Walden O'Dell, Diebold's chairman and chief
executive officer, was criticized in August 2003 for having a
$1,000-a-plate Republican fund-raiser at
his suburban Columbus home. In a letter inviting people to attend,
O'Dell said he was "committed to helping
Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."
How binding is "a policy?".
Besides, the cat is already out of the bag. The senior crooks
have informed the nation that they will do
everything to ensure that the crooked party wins - and the Democrats
don't mind.
..
"Why
would we mind? Republicans don't cheat!"
Care to comment? If you disagree, tell me what Democrats are doing to ensure accurate voting.

"Alone, I was able to raise $2 million in a week

Bin Laden is still free and I can't help

If America was REALLY focused on capturing

scores with Pundit Pap
Excerpt:
It would be easy to spend my time this
weekend making snide (but funny) remarks at Ronald Reagan's expense.
However, I am not the person to do it.
Not today.
Something about Ronald Reagan that women
should be aware of is that as Governor he signed the bill
legalizing abortion in the state of
California BEFORE the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade.
You won't hear the Republicans talking
about that little factoid, but it's something I won't forget.
Nor should it be overlooked that Nancy Reagan
for some time has been vigorously supporting
stem cell research, to the great dismay
of the right wing whackoes.
I didn't know Reagan was "a baby killer."
I need to read Pundit Pap more often.

Get Your War On, (c) 2004 by my good friend David Rees. Used with permission
Subject: Three Days of the Condor
Maybe you could point out this paradox.
Remember the 1975 movie "3 Days of the Condor?
At the end, the hero (Robert Redford) who
had found the evidence of a far fetched plot to invade
a Middle East country for oil, was confronted
by the, I believe, head of the CIA (Cliff Robertson)
who demanded to know what the hero intended
to do with the evidence.
Redford looked up at the building they happened
to be standing in front of, the New York Times,
and the answer was implied, "give it to
the most respected newspaper in the country, the one the
people could always count on for telling
the truth, no matter what the consequences".
How ironic that now, when that once far
fetched plot has incredibly become reality, the same once
"pillar of public trust", the Times, betrays
it's charge as the "teller of truth" and actively promotes
that war and the lies upon which it is
based.
Truth is indeed stranger than fiction, you've come a long way baby, and all that.
Thanks, and keep up the great reporting.
Bob Irving
Bob, I agree, and I think it's incredibly sad that this once great
newspaper has turned whore
and now takes its marching orders from the vulgar Pigboy and
Matt Drudge.
Worst of all, is that it's so unnecessary. The Times can make
a profit selling legitimate news,
but they want that EXTRA nickel that whores earn with lies and
they went for that full throttle.

Subject: Reagan was overrated
Reagan was overrated. And in fact, he wasn't
even the most popular postwar president
upon leaving office- that award goes to
Ol' Bill Clinton.
Clinton had a higher average rating during his presidency than did Reagan.
all this glory unto Reagan for his marvelous
economic work. It's like if your uncle stole your
VISA card & took you to the swankiest
joint in town, would you thank him for the meal?
His aggressiveness with the Soviet Union
in building up the arms race might have accelerated
what was happening anyway: the fall of
the USSR. But if it did, he did it at a cost of potential
peril for the world. It was a gamble we
won, but a gamble nonetheless.
But for errors of the Reagan years:
1.) even the architect of Supply Side Economics (David Stockman) admitted after the fact that the whole thing didn't work in the edn
2.) Reagan's support of the death squads in El Salvador & murdering contras in Nicaragua was unconsconable
3.) the whole Iran Contra fiasco ended up
with America trading arms for hostages (unlike GW, Reagan DID
have the balls to admit a mistake, and
he admitted this) with our enimies the Iranians. The crew that ran that
circus ended up cooking up this Iraq War,
with many (including ex-felons) now working in the Bush administration.

Subject: remembering Reagan
Reagan tripled the national debt.
If his admirers want something to remember him by there's
always the ~ $3 trillion of debt that accumulated
while he was in office - debt that we haven't
even started to pay off though we pay interest
on it year after year.
Reagan's support of the death squads in El Salvador & murdering contras in Nicaragua was unconscionable
I haven't heard a mention of this in all
the media bio's that have been streaming passed over the weekend
Reagan apparently had a lot of charisma
and even his political adversaries, like Tip O'Neill, liked him but
that avuncular charm masked a lot of ugly
shit going on in central America.
Republicans need enemies, they can't seem
to function without them. If it's not minorities it's commies,
if it's not commies it's terrorists, if
it's not terrorists it's Democrats. They need an enemy on which to
focus
their bad energy. Reagan hated communists
to the irrational extreme that we supported death squads in
El Salvador (remember the missionary nuns
who were raped and murdered?) and the Contras in Nicaragua
(essentially terrorist thugs who killed
peasants who had no political convictions).

"This is not a speech. Two weeks ago I set
aside the speech I prepared. This is a cry from the heart,
a lamentation for the loss of this
country's goodness and therefore its greatness. Future historians
studying the decline and fall of America
will mark this as the time the tide began to turn -- toward a
mean-spirited mediocrity in place of
a noble beacon. For me the final blow was American guards
laughing over the naked, helpless bodies
of abused prisoners in Iraq. "There is a time to laugh,"
the Bible tells us, "and a time to
weep." Today I weep for the country I love, the country I proudly
served, the country to which my four
grandparents sailed over a century ago with hopes for a new land
of peace and freedom. I cannot remain
silent when that country is in the deepest trouble of my lifetime."

Before 9/11, One Warning Went Unheard
Click Here Now with working link!
Excerpt:
When Jack Roche telephoned Australia's
intelligence agency in July 2000, he offered a tantalizing story:
He had been to Afghanistan and ate lunch
with Osama bin Laden. He had received training in explosives
and plotted with Al Qaeda leaders to carry
out a bombing in Australia.
A Muslim convert, Roche was prepared to
become an informant, his attorney says, and provide information
about Al Qaeda; its Southeast Asian affiliate,
Jemaah Islamiah; and their goal of staging an attack in a Western country.
But at the time - 14 months before the
Sept. 11 attacks - no one was interested.
It wasn't until 2 1/2 years later that authorities
decided to take Roche seriously and arrested him on terrorism charges.
Last week he was sentenced to nine years
in prison for conspiring with Al Qaeda leaders to blow up the Israeli Embassy
in Canberra.
Moral of the story: Don't ever try to help catch bin Laden because they'll just put you in prison.
Subject: your crashing ignorance
Bart, when you show your crashing ignorance,
you really go overboard!
The geographic nomenclature "Palestine"
is a variant on the word "Philistine."
This is because, before the "Israelites"
allegedly (re)immigrated (back) into the "Promised Land after
the archaeologically unprovable Old Testament
event of Exodus, according to their own holy book of
G_d-commanded directives, the "Hebrews"
committed an open-ended, religiously mandated genocide
of the entire targeted region that was
populated by Philistines (excluding one city, whose residents
were instead simply enslaved) to ensure
their own ascendancy in the land!
I don't know anything about any of that.
As a child, I can't believe you NEVER went to church.
As a child you thought that?
Palestine was the land of the Philistines.
It should be most important to note that
none of the below electronically reproduced ancient maps
show anywhere a locality called "Israel."
In any event, during the first "Jewish" War (as recorded
by the preeminent ancient historian, Josephus)
the "Israelite" nation was wholly destroyed by Rome
and its identity almost completely wiped
from the historical record of the day. The following "bar Kochba"
revolt of 130 AD virtually insured that
"Jews" became a nearly extinct minority in the Levant.
That's very interesting, or would be if I gave a damn.
For at nearly 2,000+ years at least,

Bart, are you one of those quasi-fundamentalist-educated
hick types who believe in the Zionist historical
revision of "A land without a people for
a people without a land" Zionist propaganda BULLSHIT?
No, the truth is I don't care.
How much cleaer could I be on that point?
As it is, when you say, "I've never seen
a map with Palestine on it," it's just another display of your
crashing ignorance about the Levant and
its fake-Hebrew, Zionist colonial invasion of Palestine.
Gues what, Mr. Know It All - that was and
isa
true statement.
When I say, "I've never seen a map with
Palestine on it," how can you say that's false?
Did I give a guarantee that no Palestinian
maps have ever existed?
No, I said I'd never seen one. I'll
bet Saudi Arabian history and geography books have
Palestinian maps in them, but so few of
those reach me desk here in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I'd sure enjoy playing some high stakes poker with you.
I even took the time to punch in "Palestine
map" or "Map of palestine" in Google and I got
dozens of maps that had Israel clearly
marked, but no Palestine.
Otherwise, I still enjoy Bartcop and appreciate

Reagan Legacy Looming Large Over Campaign
Excerpt:
Republicans said there were risks in too
conspicuously invoking Mr. Reagan as part of Mr. Bush's campaign.
Advisers to Mr. Bush said they had not determined
how prominently Mr. Bush should identify his presidency
with Mr. Reagan, whether Mr. Reagan's image
should be incorporated in Mr. Bush's advertisements and
whether Nancy Reagan might appear on Mr.
Bush's behalf in the fall.
Some Republicans said the images of a forceful
Mr. Reagan giving dramatic speeches on television provided
a less-than-welcome contrast with Mr. Bush's
own appearances these days, and that it was not in Mr. Bush's
interest to encourage such comparisons.
That concern was illustrated on Sunday, one Republican said, by
televised images of Mr. Reagan's riveting
speech in Normandy commemorating D-Day in 1984, followed
by Mr. Bush's address at a similar ceremony
on Sunday.
"Reagan showed what high stature that a president
can have - and my fear is that Bush will look diminished
by comparison," said one Republican sympathetic
to Mr. Bush, who did not want to be quoted criticizing the president.
Simply put, Reagan was an empty box who could speak.
Bush is an empty box that can't speak.

involved with the fight against Saddam
and their only credibility is that they are US dependables,
if not its outright puppets."

When wars start based on nothing
Excerpt:
Once again on yet another June 6th our
elected leaders descended comfortably on Norman soil.
Unlike our forefathers who, displaying
mass bravery inconceivable today, had no choice but to
jump from planes, get shot down or wade
ashore.
Instead of facing withering machine-gun
fire Bush, Blair, Chirac & Co., preened, primped and
pontificated over fields full of graves.
Last resting places for only a few of the simple, decent
and very ordinary men and women who, if
they wanted to remain free instead of grovelling
under the German heel were ordered to die
and/or get mangled by generals appointed by the
equally-deluded elected leaders of their
time.
Do you notice that the "greatness of Reagan," always involves that which cannot be measured?
"Reagan made people feel good about America."
"Reagan was always in a good mood and
always the optimist."
"Reagan's talent was making others be
better people."
"Reagan had that good, old-fashioned
American spirit!"
But with things that can be measured, unemployment,
the stock market, the debt, bankruptcies etc.,
Reagan was a miserable failure.
Remember: What Reagan did best was make the GOP forget about Nixon.
In an attempt to get the Nixon stench out of the party, they decided
to lionize the next guy (not appointed
by Nixon) to come along and that man happened to be the tough
talking cowboy from Hollywood.
Rush is doing his tearful tribute to Reagan, but he never cared
enough for Reagan to vote for him.
His reason: "I didn't want to stand
in that long line."
U.S.,
S. Korea Discuss Troop Withdrawal

U.S. and South Korean officials said as
they discussed plans for repositioning soldiers along the Cold War's last
frontier.
The planned U.S. troop reduction is seen
as part of Washington's global effort to realign its forces so
they can better
respond to emergencies worldwide.
so Bush can invade and pillage more Middle East countries.

Neverending Memorial for Reagan Starts today
Excerpt:
The body of Ronald Reagan, accompanied
by a fragile Nancy Reagan, arrived Monday at his
presidential library to begin nearly a
week of journeying across America that will end with his
return to California for burial on a hilltop.
A motorcade took the flag-draped casket and the
Reagan family on a 40-mile drive from a
Santa Monica funeral home to the library, where
flags at half-staff gently waved under
an overcast sky.
When they show Reagan's flag-draped coffin on TV, aren't they
"invading the privacy of the family and robbing
them of their dignity?"
That's what the White House says happens when you see a coffin on TV.

A Guardian journalist gets an Ashcroft welcome
Excerpt:
Somewhere in central Los Angeles, about
20 miles from LAX airport, there is a nondescript building housing
a detention facility for foreigners who
have violated US immigration and customs laws. I was driven there
around 11pm on May 3, my hands painfully
handcuffed behind my back as I sat crammed in one of several
small, locked cages inside a security van.
I saw glimpses of night-time urban LA through the metal bars as
we drove, and shadowy figures of armed
security officers when we arrived, two of whom took me inside.
The handcuffs came off just before I was
locked in a cell behind a thick glass wall and a heavy door.
No bed, no chair, only two steel benches
about a foot wide. There was a toilet in full view of anyone
passing by, and of the video camera watching
my every move.
My crime: I had flown in earlier that day
to research an innocuous freelance assignment for the Guardian,
but did not have a journalist's visa.
Reagan's "landslide" over Mondale
I keep hearing the TV babbling Clinton-haters bragging about Reagan's "landslide" over Mondale.

In the 1986 debate, Reagan promised he'd never raise taxes,
so Mondale looked the camera right
in the eye and said, "I'm going to raise
your taxes, and so will Mr Reagan. The difference
between us is I'm telling you the truth."
And Reagan did raise taxes in 1986 with Bob Dole's help.
That's how you lose 76 states - don't ever be honest
with the voters because voters are like children.
They don't have the courage to hear the damn truth. Voters want

Ted Rall's Reagan Obit
How Sad...
...that Ronald Reagan didn't die in prison,
where he belonged for starting an illegal,
laughably unjustifiable war against Grenada
under false pretenses (the "besieged" medical
students later said they were nothing of
the sort) and funneling arms to hostages during Iran-Contra.
Oh, and 9/11? That was his. Osama bin Laden
and his fellow Afghan "freedom fighters"
got their funding, and nasty weapons, from
Reagan.
A real piece of work, Reagan ruined the
federal budget, trashed education, alienated our friends
and allies and made us a laughing stock
around the world.
Hmmmm...sounds familiar.
Anyway, I'm sure he's turning crispy brown right about now.
Subject: memories of Reagan
Reagan was a fraud, wrapped in a nightly sound-bite.
Absolutely nothing came out of his mouth that was not a rehearsed
lie, disingenuous political claptrap or blather.
The guy signed 7 tax increases, killed thousands of peasants
in Central America, inserted and coddled various
dictators, traded with terrorists, and presided over the most
corrupt presidential administration in history.
He was also a divorced alcoholic, who was accused of rape, and
estranged from at least one of his children.
The guy could not make a decision without direction from his
wife, chief of staff, or ultra-con ideologue pals
regarding every aspect of his presidency. Oh, he also joked about
about starting a nuclear war on the radio,
forgot the names of his cabinet members and, Mourned dead SS
Stormtroopers as 'victims'.
The guy is the reason I am a card carrying liberal-democrat to
this day. I spent 8 years watching Reagan's
insane lies and deranged, senile babbling on the news each night,
developed a lifelong antipathy to the
twisted Newspeak of the Republican Party.
THAT's Reagans legacy to me.
Oh, and the attached JPG is all yours....

years later, the remaking of a president
by Howard Kurtz, whore with few peers
Excerpt:
"The uplifting tone with which journalists
are eulogizing Ronald Reagan is obscuring a central fact of his presidency:
He had a very contentious relationship
with the press...The press, by its nature, tends to get down in the weeds
of
day-to-day controversies that envelop any
president. But when the protagonist is off the stage and the camera pulls
back, a brighter picture emerges and the
setbacks tend to fade from memory. What is left are the big accomplishments
and the inspirational qualities that Reagan
brought to the office.
In his 1988 book "On Bended Knee," author
Mark Hertsgaard complained that "news accounts generally failed to
make clear the real-world implications
of Reagan's inability or unwillingness to distinguish fact from fiction."
That so
many journalists seem to have changed their
view in 2004 may represent Reagan's final triumph over the press."
