"The similarities were when we were attacked
in an unprovoked fashion in World War II and on 9-11.
Another similarity is that there are
people who have got this kind of distorted sense of the world,
trying to impose their will. Fascism
on the one hand, and fanaticism on the other."

Cheney
Faces Grilling Over Leak as Bush Election Hopes Slump
Plame scandal engulfs Unka Dick and puts pressure on
White House
Excerpt:
The growing sense of crisis within the
Bush administration over the aftermath of the Iraq conflict deepened yesterday
after it emerged that Cheney has been questioned
as part of the intelligence scandals engulfing American politics.
He has been interviewed as part of a probe
into the leaking last year of the identity of Valerie Plame.
News of Cheney's grilling follows the resignation
of CIA chief George Tenet and will add to the pressure on a Republican
party already sinking in the polls. George
Bush's approval ratings are at an all-time low of 42 per cent, dangerously
close
to the 40 per cent level seen as the point
beneath which victory is unlikely
Question: Was Cheney questioned under oath?
Or was he free to lie, as he was with the 9-11 Handjob Commission?
You see, in America, you only get put under oath when they ask
you about possible girlfriends.
When your inattention (at best) kills 3,000 people, you don't
bother with that oath nonsense.
Quotes
Tom Brokaw:...do you think that the Europeans are being unrealistic about the real nature of the war on terror?
Dubya: You know, I -- that's up to the

Chimp
Meeting With Critics of Iraq War
That's
pretty much every sane person on the planet
Excerpt:
As America's killer plays host Tuesday
to world leaders critical of his Iraq policies, White House officials
hope the Group of Eight summit helps the
Chimp and his adversaries set aside their differences.
Bush stacked his meetings Tuesday with leaders
from countries critical of the Iraq war: Russia, Canada and Germany.
His first meeting, though, was with PM
Koizumi of Japan, whose country sent troops to Iraq on a humanitarian mission.
Iraq and the broader Mideast have eclipsed
the official economic agenda of the annual gathering of powerful countries
- the United States, Japan, Germany, France,
Britain, Italy, Canada and Russia.
But really - what can be said?
We're stuck there, and nobody wants to
join Bush in his quagmire.
All they can do is tell him what a useless
shit he is - but what good does that do?

Jobs Everywhere and Not a Job to Find
by Norma Sherry
Excerpt:
If you've listened to Conservative Radio
or Fox News lately then you already know the good news.
Jobs are aplenty! In fact, according to
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and President Bush, we are in
the midst of a huge boom! According to
the spin, more than 650,000 American workers found
employment in the last two months. Mighty
spectacular, wouldn't you say?
The problem with the numbers, however, is
what's wrong with nearly every pronouncement from this
administration. It's clothed in a semblance
of truth, but it disguises the real facts. The truth is we have
more educated, specialized, articulate,
unemployed workers than ever in our history. It doesn't consider
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
estimates that 80,000 to 90,000 unemployed become ineligible
for unemployment benefits every week and
therefore, are no longer counted among the unemployed.

Quotes
"One reason why America has been so slow to
react in opposition to this war is because of
misinformation and disinformation.
Europeans have reacted with much greater reaction
opposing the war because they have
more options in the media. Our media gets in bed
with the military in wartime. The whole
media got suckered into Bush's disinformation
campaign and therefore was disseminating
misinformation."

The
Great Taxer
by Paul Krugman
Excerpt:
We're also sure to hear that Mr. Reagan
presided over an unmatched economic boom. Again, not true:
the economy grew slightly faster under
President Clinton, and, according to Congressional Budget Office
estimates, the after-tax income of a typical
family, adjusted for inflation, rose more than twice as much from
1992 to 2000 as it did from 1980 to 1988.
But Ronald Reagan does hold a special place
in the annals of tax policy, and not just as the patron saint of tax cuts.
To his credit, he was more pragmatic and
responsible than that; he followed his huge 1981 tax cut with two large
tax increases. In fact, no peacetime president
has raised taxes so much on so many people. This is not a criticism:
the tale of those increases tells you a
lot about what was right with President Reagan's leadership, and what's
wrong
with the leadership of George W. Bush.
The first Reagan tax increase came in 1982.
By then it was clear that the budget projections used to justify the
1981 tax cut were wildly optimistic. In
response, Mr. Reagan agreed to a sharp rollback of corporate tax cuts,
and a smaller rollback of individual income
tax cuts. Over all, the 1982 tax increase undid about a third of the
1981 cut; as a share of G.D.P., the increase
was substantially larger than Mr. Clinton's 1993 tax increase.
The contrast with Bush is obvious. President
Reagan, confronted with evidence that his tax cuts were fiscally
irresponsible, changed course. Bush, confronted
with similar evidence, has pushed for even more tax cuts.
Bush fans often cite his "steadfast" courage and determination,
but the problem with staying the course, as Krugman
points out, is if you're going the wrong way, being steadfast
hurts more than it helps. Whether it's the Bush disaster
with the economy or the Bush disaster in Iraq, he will not
change course because he's a macho Texas cowboy.
I never thought I'd say this, but it would be great for America
if the president were more like Reagan.

Subject: Top ten signs you're a Christian Fundie
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed
by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence
of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that
people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with
the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities"
attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how
God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and
ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" --
including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims
about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing
that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god
who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes
in the scientifically established age of Earth (4.55 billion years),
but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze
Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a
couple of generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the
exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those
in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering.
And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have
failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor
speaking
in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to
answered prayers. You consider that to be
evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99%
FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do
about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself
a Christian.

Text Messages May Turn Up in Bryant Case
Excerpt:
A few hours after NBA star Kobe Bryant
had sex with a Vail-area hotel worker last summer, the woman
exchanged cell phone text messages with
a former boyfriend and someone else. What's in those messages
could help determine whether the sex was
consensual or whether Bryant is guilty of rape as charged.
The judge himself said the content may
be "highly relevant" to the case.
That the judge could order the woman's cell
phone company to produce the messages so long after they
were sent shouldn't surprise anyone, analysts
say. Texters beware. Like e-mail and Internet instant messages,
text messages tend to be saved on servers.
So, this he-said, she-said could turn on this evidence.
If she wrote, "I was just raped,"
he's in trouble.
But if she wrote, "I just had sex with
Kobe the superstar," he's free.
.
This info should take only days to collect, but since America
loves a circus,
they'll find a way to drag this out until next summer ...or the
next summer.

Excerpt:
It is not clear how the practice emerged
and, if it was official policy, exactly who authorized it.
Col. Thomas M. Pappas, the military intelligence
officer in charge of interrogations at the prison,
told Army investigators that detainees
might be stripped and shackled for questioning, but not
without "good reason." When Red Cross monitors
expressed alarm about prisoners being left
in their cells or forced to move about
naked, they said military intelligence officials 'confirmed
that it was part of the military intelligence
process.'"
The nudity irtself isn't the problem.
It's the forced oral sex that needs to be addressed.
Plus, Smnirky keeps saying, "Watch how
transparently we handle this in a democracy,"
but if they can't decide who was in charge, all they'll screw
is the grunts following orders.

Barely Legal, White House Style
Excerpt:
"The Washington Post leads with, and New
York Times off-leads, follow-up to yesterday's Wall Street Journal
bombshell that administration lawyers penned
a brief last spring asserting that the president is allowed to order
torture and detailing how torture statutes
and treaties purportedly don't apply. The Post says that memo appears
to be largely based on an August 2002 Justice
Department briefing, which stated that torture "may be justified
...in order to prevent further attacks
on the United States." That memo said that for torture to cross the line,
it 'must be equivalent in intensity to
the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure,
impairment of bodily function, or even
death.'"
Assuming for argument's sake that sometimes, in extreme
circumstances, torture might be necessary,
how can we entrust that 'mandate' to a bloodthirsty man-child
who giggles when he kills?

Antidote to 'Iraq is Vietnam'
Excerpt:
America loves a good sequel, and seeing
as it's summer, the standard crop of big-budget,
digitally enhanced retreads is arriving
at the Cineplex, from "Shrek 2" to "Spider-Man 2."
The concept of the sequel is easy enough
to understand. The original was a hit, so filmmakers
hook the fans in with a promise of more
of the same. Of course, it usually doesn't work out that way.
For every "Godfather II," there are 20
"Weekend at Bernie's 2"s.
And so it is with the Bush administration
and its new sequel "World War II 2." For the record,
they tested the title World War III, but
found audiences were less than enthusiastic, many citing
Armageddon as a concern."
Yeah, a few of us don't want to gamble with Armageddon, but when
you're religiously insane
and taking orders directly from God Almighty, what could possibly
go wrong? Care
to comment?

of an unelected President - (Damn - can

but I don't know that only secular
rationalism opposes religious fundamentalism. Living, intelligent faith,

verities of fundamentalists of all
denominations and creeds..."

Gay
about Reagan's death
His "let 'em die - they're queers" attitude revisited
Excerpt:
"As America mourned Ronald Reagan, gay activists
struck a discordant note on Sunday, lamenting his
alleged insensitivity to Aids when it struck
devastatingly during his presidency. Ironically, they noted,
Reagan died on Saturday aged 93 of Alzheimer's
disease on the 21st anniversary of the first official report
of five gay men in Los Angeles who were
suffering from a rare form of pneumonia - the first recognised cases
of what would later be called the deadly
Aids virus. The report was issued on June 5, 1981 by the US Centres
for Disease Control. "That is ironic, it
certainly will forever tie those two issues together," said Jeffrey Prang,
a city councillor in West Hollywood, a
gay-dominated Los Angeles-area city."

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."
