"Talk show hosts like Hannity, O'Reilly and
Limbaugh act like they know all about war;
then they refuse to give any credence to soldiers
like me who have been to war and seen
the brutality of war. These guys are nothing
but WEAK SPINELESS COWARDS hiding
behind microphones while soldiers come home

Is Bush
Stupid -- Or Is America?
by Robert Parry as seen on consortiumnews.com
Link
Excerpt:
Last week, in Louisville, Kentucky, a group of
Americans got to listen up close as Bush explained his
Iraq War policies. But what they -- and the television
audience -- heard was a manipulative collection of
feel-good distortions and outright lies, served
up in Bush's folksy style. The fact that Bush continues to
make such presentations, virtually unchallenged,
raises the painful question, "is Bush stupid or is America?"

Bush after
Google's Data
Link
Excerpt:
Bush asked a federal judge to order Google to
turn over a broad range of material from its closely
guarded databases. The move (They
claim) is part of a government effort
to revive an Internet child
protection law struck down two years ago by the
U.S. Supreme Court. The law was meant to punish
online pornography sites that make their content
accessible to minors. Bush says he it needs Google's data
to determine how often pornography shows up in
online searches. Justice Department lawyers revealed
that Google has refused to comply with a subpoena
issued last year for the records, which include a request
for 1 million random Web addresses and records
of all Google searches from any one-week period.
Bush wants everything on everybody.
He wants to listen to every phone call and read every e-mail.
He wants to know if you like to fantasize about tall blondes or short
brunettes.
He wants to know which sexual positions you prefer - good for blackmail,
right?
"Bart - always complaining about Bush protecting us from evil..."
Gotta be honest - Pat Leahy, Bush's personal rubberstamp, announced
that he
would vote against Alito. As far as I know, he's the first
senate Democrat to say so.
Good for him.
After all these damn years, Leahy actually for one right.

25 Years
Later, Ex-Iran Hostages Reunite
Link
Excerpt:
President Carter's loss to Reagan in the 1980
election has been attributed to the hostage crisis,
which included a failed rescue attempt. It
was resolved when the U.S. released nearly $8 billion
in frozen Iranian assets and offered Iran
immunity from lawsuits it might have faced from the hostages.
What?
I don't remember that.
I'm certainly no Robert Parry when it comes to
Iraq, but they were released after Reagan took the oath.
Reagan/Bush illegally sold arms to Iran, the
terrorist-kidnapper-outlaws, to win the 1980 election.
If anybody paid for hostages it was Reagan,
but the press fakes the facts because
their primary objective is to make the Republicans
look good and the Democrats bad.
If these hostages had any brians they'd be furious
at the BFEE for asking the Iranians
to hold their hostages months longer than Iran wanted to
- it was all a ploy for Bush to
steal the 1980 election and it worked because the press refused to
write the damn truth.

Dude, thanks for being nice about it.
The part I don't get is, when I make the logical
gambler's mathematical choice (going with better odds)
instead of hearing, "I
think you're wrong and here's why," people
scream, "You can't see it because
you're such an ignorant mother-effer

I'm so old, I remember when liberals tolerated different ideas, but

Bin Laden
Offers Truce
Link
Excerpt:
The voice in the tape said heightened security
measures in the United States are not the reason
there have been no attacks there since Sept.
11, 2001. Instead, the reason is "because there are
operations that need preparations, and you will
see them," he said.
"Based on what I have said, it is better not to
fight the Muslims on their land," he said. "We do not
mind offering you a truce that is fair and long-term.
... So we can build Iraq and Afghanistan ... there is
no shame in this solution because it prevents
wasting of billions of dollars ... to merchants of war."
If Osama attacks us again, on American soil, Bush will change his little,
simplistic slogan,
"We fight them there so we don't have to fight
them here" to some other simplistic slogan
The question is - how many times can Bush jerk around the military families
and get away with it?

My new computer is a dream.
I haven't seen that damn hourglass in the last 20 hours.
This page is short because it's taking twice the time - temporarily.
When the software engineers release a new program (my old computer
was from 2001 or 2002) they have to take all the buttons that were
on
the right and re-locate them on the left in an attempt
to make you think
the 5.4 version is "so different" from the 5.3 version,
the sick bastards.
Plus, all the buttons that were red
are now green, so every little step
takes a few
steps longer while I hunt for it and there are hundreds of steps
in each page.
I also got a CD replicator which does the work of four computers.
I put in four blanks, then one BCR CD - press one button and
5 minutes later
there are a total of 5 BCR CDs and the replicator even re-checks them
for accuracy
so that will increase production and it will free up a lot of time.
More time - it's a dream come true.
Now I just need to figure out a way to pay for it...

No, and I never suggested such a thing.
Wouldn't that be the poker equivalent of squandering

Subject: proof Saddam had no
WMDs
Bart,
It was impossible for Saddam to prove a negative
- that he had no WMDs.
Bush should have been required to prove the positive
- that Saddam did have WMDs.
Obviously, Powell going before the UN with his
drawings based on hearsay was not proof.
Basking in Balmy Kansas
Basking, that's a different subject than what we were talking about.
I'm saying Bush's CIA went before the senate and guaranteed
Saddam had them.
As it turns out, they were lying, but I admit that
it's easy to go back and time and say,
"Hillary and the 20 other Dems should've known
the CIA's proof was faked."
BTW, we're basking, too.

Cal, of course you would.
Everybody has the same reaction, but the illogical ninnies can't

All they can do is scream insults and refuse to answer the question.
In the (now finished, uploaded soon) BCR
87, there's a break-your-heart piece on MLK and
his young daughter.
MLK is the epitome of non-violence, right?
If MLK and his daughter were on a Montgomery street and 5 young Republicans
started messing with his daughter,
does anybody think he would've stood there and preached non-violence
to them while they molested killed his daughter?
Fuck no and everybody knows that.
...but sometimes it's easier to lie to yourself.
MLK would break bones to save his little girl - because he's
all she's got.
John Lennon and Bono would both pull triggers to save
their kids and we all know it..
...but sometimes it's easier to lie to yourself.
I got lots of honest Sirhan letters, like yours.
But the people who live in Fantasyland refused to answer the
Sirhan question and unloaded on me.
When I replied with, "Why can't you answer a simple question?"
the most popular reply was,
"I'll never visit your site again, asshole,"
...as tho *I* fucking shot Bobby Kennedy.
That's who I'm calling illogical ninnies.

Reid Apologizes
like a Good Puppy

Excerpt:
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday
apologized to 33 Republican senators
singled out for ethics criticism in a report
from his office titled "Republican Abuse of Power."
"The document released by my office yesterday
went too far and I want to convey to you my personal regrets," Reid said
in a letter.
"I am writing to apologize for the tone of this
document and the decision to single out individual senators for criticism
in it.
" I beg you to please forgive me, and I swear
I'll praise Bush from this monment on."
Reid came under attack Wednesday over the report,
which was issued by his staff on Senate letterhead,
even as he and fellow Democrats released ethics
overhaul proposals.
I don't know anything about this story.
I didn't even bother to read it because I've read the same headline
a thousand times before.

Subject: RE: enough of this bullshit
You hit one of my hot buttons with this topic.
Do me a favor - bring some logic and common sense
to this topic.
The weapons inspectors were doing their job and
saying Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz were lying.
Well, they said they disagreed with Bush's assessment...
Powell and Condi said as late as 2001 that Saddam
was contained.
Another fact - can I buy you a beer?
The intelligence community agreed with Powell
and Condi.
That's not a fact.
You can say "some of " the intelligence community
agreed he was contained,
but not the guys who briefed the senate. They
said the East Coast was vulnerable.
The Hillary haters say, "She knew all along
it was a fake."
*I* say Bush lied to the senate.

I saw my first American Idol this
week.
I was struck by what idiotic songs people choose
to sing.
Assuming you have a voice, why not pick a song
that shows it off?
If they sand, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," you'd
know after
four words if they could sing or not, but some
of these nuts are rapping.
The Shield, one of the best shows
on TV, just started it's last season.
They have Lemonhead in 'the box,' pressuring
him to give up Vic Mackey.
Lem doesn't know Vic killed a fellow cop in the first few minutes of
the series premier.
The premier of 24
was almost as exciting as they said it was, but the sound mixing is
done so poorly I can't hear what the characters
are saying. It drowns out the dialog.
Dennis Miller (R-Fascist) has a new special on HBO Saturday night.
Since he was forced out of his failed TV show and the comedy business

has even seen Bush's Cabanaboy
play poker. He's just trying to get on the bandwagon with "Dennis
