"I myself feel that our country, for whose
Constitution I fought in a just war,
might as well have been invaded by
Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I
wish it had been. What has happened,
though, is that it has been taken over by
means of the sleaziest, low-comedy,
Keystone Cops-style coup d'etat imaginable.
And those now in charge of the federal
government are upper-crust C-students
who know no history or geography, plus
not-so-closeted white supremacists,
aka "Christians,"and plus, most frighteningly,
psychopathic personalities."

'Surge'
Architect Rejects 'War Czar' Job
by
Robert Parry
Excerpt:
The widespread doubts within U.S. military and
intelligence circles that Bush's "surge" can succeed
were underscored when one of the plan's architects,
retired Army Gen. Jack Keane, was one of
three generals to rebuff a White House offer
of a new job dubbed "war czar."
In December, Keane promoted the idea of a U.S.
military escalation in Iraq as an alternative to
the growing consensus in favor of a phased withdrawal
of Amercan combat forces.
At the time, the Iraq Study Group was advocating
a troop drawdown combined with a stronger
commitment to training Iraqi forces and renewed
talks with Iraq's neighbors. But Bush bristled at
the implied criticism of his work as "war president,"
declaring: "This business about graceful
exit just simply has no realism to it whatsoever."
That sentence in bold - is that the last time Bush told the truth?

Leahy doubts Bush aides on lost e-mails
Excerpt:
Bush's aides are lying about White House e-mails
sent on a Republican account that might have
been lost, Patrick Leahy suggested Thursday,
vowing to subpoena those documents if the
administration fails to cough them up.
"They say they have not been preserved. I don't believe that!" Leahy shouted from the Senate floor.
"You can't erase e-mails, not today. They've gone
through too many servers," said Leahy, D-Vt.
"Those e-mails are there, they just don't want
to produce them. We'll subpoena them if necessary."
White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said there
is no effort to purposely keep the e-mails under wraps,
and that the counsel's office is doing everything
it can to recover any that were lost.
Hey Pat, check the RNC servers, too.
That's where Karl Rove's e-mails can be found.

Subject: Kurt Vonnegut & Bartcop
Bart,
Kurt Vonnegut died today, 84 years old.
Here's a comment on DailyKOS....
#
Kurt Vonnegut's favorite piece of writing
was a letter that his daughter wrote in protest to a restaurant
where a waitress had been fired. She
had expressed why she thought the girl shouldn't be fired - it was
direct, earthy and to the point. He
held it out as an example of perfect writing.
My other favorite Vonnegut anecdote came
from Reader's Digest of all places. Vonnegut was introduced
at a party with great fanfare to a writer
from Chili. They stood there looking at each other both silent.
Finally, Vonnegut said, "It must be
nice to come from a country that is long and narrow. "
Lastly, during the run up to the Iraq
war, Vonnegut was seen running around New York City
with a Bartcop button on his coat.
I'm gonna miss that man.

"Republicans are growing increasingly anxious
about their party's chances of holding the
White House, citing public dissatisfaction
with Bush, the political fallout from the war in Iraq
and the problems their candidates are having
generating enthusiasm among conservative voters.
Republicans are concerned about signs of despondency
among party members and fund-raisers,
reflected in polls and the Democratic fund-raising
advantage in the first quarter of the year.
Many party leaders expressed worry that the
party's presidential candidates faced a tough
course without some fundamental shift in the
political dynamic."

The Mayberry Machiavellis
Excerpt:
The Oversight Committee is investigating multiple
charges against Lurita Alexis Doan, head of the GSA,
incluiding her attempt to grant a no-bid contract
to a friend; her effort to thwart contract audits and to cut funds
of the GSA Office of the Inspector General, which
she called "terrorists" after it began a probe into her conduct;
and her potential violation of the Hatch Act,
which forbids the use of government offices for partisan activity.
A major Republican contributor who made a fortune
as a military and homeland security contractor, Doan had
held no previous government posts before being
appointed last year to head the GSA. Like the fabled
("heck of a job, Brownie") Michael Brown, the
former head of the FEMA, Doan is another stellar example
of the culture of cronyism that has permeated
the federal government under George W. Bush.

"Obama came up to campaign for Lieberman before

Then in the general election, he refused

runs around bragging about his antiwar
credentials, yet who then spent most of his first year in
Congress absolutely silent on the war
- his behavior in the Connecticut Senate race says a lot

Pigboy and
his Demons
How a rich man can be so poor
Excerpt:
An addiction to painkillers reduced this human
boom box of self-sufficiency and strict enforcement.
"If people are violating the law by doing drugs,"
he once lectured on his syndicated TV show, "they ought
to be accused and they ought to be convicted
and they ought to be sent up" (up the river, that is) to the furtive,
needy ploys of any other junkie who finds the
medicine cabinet running dry. After he entered rehab, his third wife,
Marta, reportedly vacated the luxury estate (they
would later divorce), leaving Rush a Tarzan without his Jane.
Secluded for now, his compound can be converted
into a tourist attraction - a combination museum, shrine,
gift shop, and spiritual mecca modeled on Elvis's
Graceland. Aging dittoheads can make pilgrimages to pay their
respects, rekindle fond memories, and gape reverently
at the silenced TV where Rush watched football
after he was booted off the airwaves for being
such a racist pig.

Imus Show:
Kucinich should be beheaded
But nobody cared because Imus was TOO BIG to bring down
Excerpt:
Bernard McGuirk and Imus like to spice their
Fascist radio show with inflammatory, insulting language,
generally about liberals, college professors,
Jews, gypsies, gays and people of color, like Hitler did.
Now they're in trouble, and callers say to pull
the plug on the Imus program rather than slap their wrists.
A joke they did about Dennis Kucinich is another
in a history of attacking those who aren't in power.
Still, blogger Michael O'McCarthy didn't think
it was appropriate. According to O'McCarthy's complaint,
here is what McGuirk said about the congressman
from Cleveland:
Dennis Kucinich should have his "head sawed off"
like they do over in Iraq.
I thought this was a non-story, because when you've
heard as much Nazi hate as I have,
what Imus said wasn't so bad - but maybe the
country is changing?
Ann Coulter,
Rush Limbaugh,
Michael Savage,
that shrill Laura harpy...
Maybe the country is fed up with their Nazi lies?
Maybe the country figured out that three entities owning the major
media was a bad idea.
The guy who signs Imus's paycheck probably molests kids with the guy
who signs Rush's check.
General Motors pulled their advertising dollars away from racist
hate.
American Express pulled their advertising dollars away from
racist hate.
Sprint pulled their advertising dollars away from racist hate.
Nextel pulled their advertising dollars away from racist hate.
GlaxoSmithKline pulled their advertising dollars away from racist
hate.
TD Ameritrade pulled their advertising dollars away from racist
hate.
Ditech.com pulled their advertising dollars away from racist
hate.
So, who is putting advertising dolloars into Rush's vulgar hate show?
So, who is putting advertising dolloars into Hannity's vulgar hate
show?
So, who is putting advertising dolloars into O'Reilly's vulgar hate
show?
So, who is putting advertising dolloars into FOX Whore News in general?
So, who is putting advertising dolloars into any racist and vulgar
hate show?
Imus could be to hate speech what Latrina was to Bush's "godliness."
Now let's go after Rush, Hannity etc...

Bush Screws Troops 25% more
Excerpt:
Bush ordered 90-day extensions Wednesday for
all active-duty Army troops in Iraq and Afghanistan,
stretching their overseas tours from 12 to 15
months in a move that will exert new strain on a struggling
military but allow the Bush administration to
continue its troop buildup in Baghdad well into next year.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates' announcement came
amid expectations that the Pentagon was about to
order longer tours for some units, but the new
policy is a far more sweeping and drastic step, stretching
deployments for more than 100,000 members of
the Army.
"I realize this decision will ask a lot of our
Army troops and their families," Gates said.
Yet the military families stand with Bush, no matter how many of them
he gets killed.
Oh, and they hate Clinton with a passion.

Note to Rudy Giuliani: Say goodbye to the honeymoon

he has taken heat for his abortion rights stance,
links to ex-police commissioner Bernard Kerik who is

life. Giuliani's ascent in national popularity polls has stalled.
He's hit the stage of the campaign everybody expected
him to hit," said David Winston, a Republican pollster.
"People are now starting to scrutinize him,"
said Ed Rollins, a crooked hack under President Reagan.
"The spotlight's on Giuliani, and he'll either

A suicide bomber detonated himself in the cafeteria
of the Iraqi Parliament building inside
the "Green Zone" in Baghdad today killing at
least 8 and wounding around 30 people.
Within an hour a message appeared on an Al Queda

its agents." It said ominously,
"We will reach you wherever you are".

Subject: military rapes
Hey Bart! Fortunately, not all soldiers are bad.
I have good reason to be proud
of my step-son Patrick. He enlisted to
DEFEND our country, and trained as
an engineer to help put New Orleans and other
places back together.
However while was stationed in Afghanistan, he
was involved in a security situation.
An American soldier attempted to rape an Afghani
woman. Pat hit the soldier with
the butt of his rifle and stopped the rape from
happening. He and his team then made
certain the woman was taken to safety.
Pat was gigged for attacking the soldier, but
was also honoured by his unit for his actions.
And we, his family, are justly proud of our young
soldier.

Bush-made
Mess in Somalia
by Ivan Eland
Excerpt:
After 9/11, Bush feared that the absence of a
strong government in the "failed state" of Somalia
could turn the small eastAfrican country - slightly
smaller than Texas - into a haven for terrorists.
The administration ignored the fact that other
states with weak governments have not become
sanctuaries for terrorists. Even if Somalia had
become a terrorist enclave, the terrorists, absent
some U.S. provocation, probably would not have
attacked the faraway United States.
As a result of the administration's unfounded
fear, the United States began supporting
unpopular warlords in the strife-torn nation.
That's when the real trouble began.
If Bush is involved, you know it's going to become a giant screw-up.
