Quotes
"In the Schiavo case, it may be that ordinary
Americans have a more sophisticated grasp
of the meaning of slogans such as the "right
to life" than their political leaders. Or maybe
the president's Superman costume split at the
seams last weekend, revealing not Clark Kent
but the smirking politician who helped more
than 150 prisoners to an early exit from death row."
--Joan
Smith, "Life and death in the U.S.", http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/
Bush
finally mentions Minnesota
Pollsters tell Bush it's not all about Terri Schiavo
Excerpt:
Bush on Saturday praised
Minnesota high school security guard Derrick Brun for saving
countless students by bravely confronting the teenage
gunman who shot and killed him Monday.
"Derrick's bravery cost him his life, and all
Americans honor him," Bush said in his first public
comments about Monday's shooting tragedy at the
urging of his personal political guru Karl Rove.
Some American Indians have complained that
Bush did not respond publicly to the shooting for four days.
On Friday, he was able to find time in his busy
vacatoion schedule for a a five-minute telephone call to
Floyd Jourdain Jr., chairman of the Red Lake Band
of Chippewa.
"We remember that hope leads us closer to truth,
and that in the end, even death itself will be defeated.
That is the promise of Easter morning," Bush said,
bullshitting the country in God's name - not a crime.
Bush
distorts science to shield Halliburton from pollution laws
Shame on the press for letting these blatant crimes go unreported
..
Excerpt:
According to Wilson, a 30-year employee
with the EPA, the Bush administration purposely tampered with
environmental science in order to shield a lucrative
drilling technique, known as hydraulic fracturing, from all
regulations. Wilson says the technique, pioneered
by Halliburton, is harmful to drinking water supplies. Halliburton
has spent years trying to get the federal government
to exempt the technique from environmental regulations.
Wilson and environmental groups say hydraulic
fracturing can contaminate drinking water supplies with carcinogens
and is therefore required by law to be regulated
by the EPA. In addition, activists have documented incidents where
hydraulic fracturing has contaminated drinking
water supplies with hazardous chemicals.
The extra oil and gas produced each year
from hydraulic fracturing boosts Halliburton's revenues by $1.5 billion,
If a black kid steals a candy bar or, Koresh forbid, gets caught
with a joint, he's in serious trouble.
But when billionaire corporations bribe the president so they can break
serious laws that affect millions - no problem.
Calling myself a liar Quotes
"I don't think you have to examine her. All
you have to do is look at her on TV.
Any doctor with any conscience can look at
her and know that she does not
have a terminal disease and know that she has
some function."
--Senator/Doctor/Jesus
Twin Tom Coburn, who is against "murdering" Terri Schiavo Attribution
"Under certain circumstances when there is
no hope of recovery, physicians should have
the option of withholding nutrients and water
from a dying patient. I've done that in the past.
If somebody does not want a feeding tube, I
won't put a feeding tube down."
--Lying son of a bitch Tom
Coburn, caught by the Tulsa World, 7/20/98, Attribution
The religious people who like Coburn and
the Bush bastards KNOW they are lying.
They KNOW they are lying and using their religion
as a shield to lie, but that's OK?
Boy
kicks Easter Bunny's ass at Mall
"The boy should be prosecuted," E.B. told The
Bay City Times
Excerpt:
The Easter Bunny is hopping mad. Bryan
Johnson, who portrays the furry character at the Bay City Mall,
says he was pummeled in an unprovoked attack on
the job. Police say the attacker was a 12-year-old boy.
Johnson, 18, suffered a bloody nose. He
kept his cool during the attack, deeming it inappropriate for the
Easter Bunny to kick the little bastard's ass.
But he's not willing to forgive and forget.
Johnson told deputies that the boy hit him in the
face at least six times before running away.

Sales Drop at Wendy's After Finger Found in Chili
Excerpt:
Sales have dropped sharply at Wendy's fast
food restaurants in the area of northern California
where a woman claimed she
found part of a finger in a bowl of chili, but analysts say the
company's long-term prognosis should not be affected. Authorities
in San Jose, Calif., planned
to search a fingerprint database on Friday to try
to identify the body of the finger's owner.
Capt. Bob Dixon of the Santa Clara County
coroner's office said he did not know when their
fingerprint expert might have a match. "Nobody's
claimed it yet," he said.
I'm a little suspicious about this "lady" who claimes she found the finger.
Quotes
"This isn’t just about Jeb being insane.
This is the first step in America becoming an Iranian-style
theocratic dictatorship. When an executive
decides to order his armed forces to carry out his
personal whims in contradiction of the authority
of every other entity in the federal system,
you're in North Korea or Iraq or Iran. This
isn’t merely funny, it is fucking scary!"

Native Americans Criticize Bush's Silence
Excerpt:
Native Americans across the country - including
tribal leaders, academics and rank-and-file tribe members
- voiced anger that Bush has responded to the second-deadliest
school shooting in U.S. history with silence.
Three days after 16-year-old Jeff Weise
killed nine members of his Red Lake tribe, grief-stricken American
Indians complained that the White House has offered
little in the way of sympathy for the Minnesota tribe.
"From all over the world we are getting
letters of condolence, the Red Cross has come, but the so-called
Great White Father in Washington hasn't said or
done a thing," said Clyde Bellecourt, a Chippewa Indian
who is the founder and national director of the
American Indian Movement here. "When people's children
are murdered and others are in the hospital hanging
on to life, he should be the first one to offer his condolences
If this was a white community, I don't think he'd
have any problem doing that."
White House liar Scott McClellan gave a cavalier: "Our thoughts are with the families of those who were killed."
"I hope that he would say something," said
Victoria Grave. "It's important that there's acknowledgment
of the tragedy. It's important he sees the tribes
are out here. We need help."
The reaction to Bush's silence was particularly
bitter given his high-profile intervention for Terri Schiavo.
Subject: Terri Schiavo - the other side
Excerpt:
Michael Schiavo is Catholic.
Is he doing this because he can't remarry
in the church with a divorce and needs her dead.to do so?
That's
life
Terri Schiavo and Bush stopping stem cell research
Excerpt:
Ms Schiavo's best chance of returning to
a cognitive state lies with stem-cell research. Although stem-cell
therapy is still in its infancy, a likely future
application is expected to be the replacement of damaged brain cells,
such as those that have reduced Ms Schiavo to a
vegetative state for the past 15 years. In a few years, it is possible
that Ms Schiavo may be curable. But for this to
happen, moral conservatives, including Mr Bush, would have to
revise their view that stem cells not only have
a right to life, but one that outweighs the right to a cognitive life of
sufferers from brain conditions such as hers. Having
demonstrated how much value he attaches to Ms Schiavo's
life - allowing himself to be wakened in the early
hours to sign the federal intervention into law - Mr Bush may one
day have to decide whose hopes for life are of
higher value: a woman who was in the prime of life when she was
struck down by brain damage, or a group of cells
forming part of an embryo of four or five days' existence.
Delay family had their own Schiavo moment
...without judges, emergency sessions of Congress or the raging street debate
Excerpt:
The patient then was a 65-year-old drilling contractor,
badly injured in a freak accident at his home.
Among the family standing vigil was a grieving
junior congressman -- U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, (R-Squirrel).
The man in a coma, kept alive by intravenous lines
and a ventilator, was DeLay's father, Charles Ray DeLay.
"There was no point to even really talking about it," Maxine
DeLay, his mother recalled in an interview last week.
"No way Charles wanted to live like that. Tom knew, we
all knew, his father wouldn't have wanted to live that way."
Doctors advised that he would "basically be a vegetable," said
the congressman's aunt, JoAnne DeLay.
When the man's kidneys failed, the DeLay family
decided against a dialysis machine. "Extraordinary measures
to prolong life were not initiated," said his medical
report, citing "agreement with the family's wishes."
His bedside chart carried the instruction: "Do
Not Resuscitate."
On Dec. 14, 1988, the senior DeLay "expired with
his family in attendance."

"I'm not
so nuts about getting caught..."
Subject: Kerry should've listened to Bart
He listened to the dead woods in Washington who have gotten whupped for decades.
Bart would have told Kerry to do this which would have put Bush in the slime pits where he wallows.
"Mr. President, I have
a challenge for you. You and your cohorts have smeared my military
record
of which I am very very proud. I challenge you
to answer questions under oath on a lie detector.
You can ask me any questions you wish on my proud
military record.
Then you answer three very simple questions.
Perhaps you may wish to answer them now.
You save you served at the Donnelley Air Base in
Alabama as you were ordered.
Tell us the Section in which you served, the work
you did and name a few with whom you worked.
Very simple questions.
If you cannot answer those questions you were a
Criminal Military Deserter during wartime
and have no business as commander in chief of our
armed forces."
Bush would have flipped.
He would have lost it

that Gov. Bush will be violating the law. If

Bareback Andy suffers Blog Burnout
Excerpt:
Andrew Sullivan says he will be putting The Daily
Dish on hiatus for a few months.
Sullivan has suffered blog burnout and has chosen
to pursue other activities.
The rapid growth of the blogosphere and those
attempting to get ahead will mean that Sullivan
is most likely the first of quite a few, in a marketplace
that is rapidly commercialising at the top,
and where it is becoming more difficult for hobby
bloggers or part time bloggers to compete.

Pentagon Will Not Try 17 G.I.'s in Prisoners' Deaths
"Culture of life" means nothing if you're brown
..
Excerpt:
Despite recommendations by Army investigators,
commanders have decided not to prosecute
17 American soldiers implicated in the deaths of
three prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2003
and 2004, according to a new accounting released
Friday by the Army.
The charges included murder, conspiracy and negligent
homicide. While none of the 17 will face
any prosecution, one received a letter of reprimand
and another was discharged after the investigations.
Oh!
A letter in his file?
That'll teach him not to torture prisoners
to death.

Prankster Smuggles anti-War Art Into Top NY Museums
..
Excerpt:
A British graffiti artist who goes by the name "Banksy" hung
his own picture of a soup can
on a wall where it stayed for more than three days
earlier this month before anybody noticed.
The prank was part of a coordinated plan to infiltrate
four of New York's top museums on a single day.
The largest piece, which he smuggled into the
Brooklyn Museum, was a 2 foot by 1.5 foot oil painting of a
colonial-era admiral with a can of spray paint
in his hand and anti-war graffiti in the background.

Marty's Entertainment Page
Subject: Terri Schiavo - Form vs. Substance
The Terri Schiavo controversy is an example of
form vs. substance when it comes to politics and religion.
The battle creates the illusion that it is about
saving the life of someone who is actually already dead.
It gives religious people the illusion that they
are in a battle for some great cause, and the illusion is the
cornerstone of faith based thinking.
In reality this is about letting a dead woman
die and respecting her choice to not endure a living death.
It's about whether an individual gets to choose
their own fate or have to endure politicians using the law
for personal political opportunity. If people of
faith and politicians wanted to pass "pro life" legislation
they wouldn't be meeting at midnight to interfere
with the death of a single individual.
Instead they would be increasing Medicare and
Medicaid so that the lives of thousands poor people
and old people can be saved. The difference between
form and substance is - do you want to really do
something to better humanity or do you want to
pretend you're don't something to better humanity?
