"If Obama takes any positive cues from Bush, it would be to act boldly without regard
for what the beltway crowd has to say...For
some issues, Bush wasn't compelled by anything but
God and Dick Cheney. Take a lesson from that,
Barack." -- wistlo,

"Bristol Palin and Levi have broken up. That's

Excerpt: The Worst President Ever's first post-presidency
speech will take place on March 17 in Calgary, Alberta.
Although organizers have declined to say if Bush
will be paid, he once boasted that he hoped to make
“ridiculous” money on the lecture circuit once
he leaves office.
But instead of greeting Bush with open arms and
(potentially) wads of cash, activists and human rights lawyers
in Canada are hoping their government will greet
him with handcuffs - or at the very least - bar him entry in to the country.
In fact, Vancouver Lawyer Gail Davidson said
the government has an obligation under the law to ban Bush from entering
Canada because of his role in supporting torture:
Davidson says that because Bush has been “credibly
accused” of supporting torture in Iraq and Gitmo, Canada has a legal
obligation to deny him entry under Canada’s Immigration
and Refugee Protection Act. The law says foreign nationals who
have committed war crimes or crimes against humanity,
including torture, are “inadmissible” to Canada. “The test isn’t whether
the war criminal has been convicted, but whether
there’s reasonable grounds to think that they have been involved,” says
Davidson.
Excerpt: If Obama's response to the economic crisis is
imperfect, as he acknowledges, and if the Congressional Democrats leave
much
to be desired as well, then Americans can at
least be thankful that the nation's fate has not been consigned to the
frozen minds on
the other side of the aisle. Things are bad,
and seem very likely to get worse -- but the Republicans seem determined
to plunge us
into a real depression, gambling that catastrophe
would return them to power...
Public spending, even unto additional trillions,
is the only instrument available to prevent a global depression, assuming
that we
have not already forfeited that chance. The stimulus
bill and the Obama budget are only first steps. We will need another strong
shot of stimulus before the summer - not a spending
freeze - and we can only pray that the president and the Congressional
Democrats will have the guts to push the Republicans
out of the way.
Pray that the Democrats have guts?
Joe's kidding, right?
The Republicans have an approval rating of about 30 and that will drop
like a rock if they
succeed in barking loud enough to make the Democrats (not Obama) wet
themselves with fear.
"The major newspapers joined the (Bush) team.
Top editors passed the message to investigative reporters not to 'pick holes' in what Bush was
doing. Violations of the Bill of Rights happened in the plain sight of the public. It it was not only tolerated,
but Bush was re-elected." -- Seymour Hersh on the whore media selling
out for cash, Link
There were rumors of this a year or so in the
Philippine press.
I read several accounts while there on a visit.
This is just another of Cheney's war crimes.
Too bad the Dems are a bunch of pussies too scared
to prosecute criminals.
They have plenty of skeletons in the closet.
Excerpt: The call by some right wing handjobs for rebellion
and for the
military to refuse the commander in chief’s orders is joined by bad actor Chuck Norris who claims
that thousands of right wing cell groups have organized and are
ready
for a second American Revolution. During an appearance
on the Glen Beck (R-Handjob) radio show he promised that if
things get any worse from his point of view he
may “run for president of Texas.” The nut claims that Texas was never formally
a part of the United States in the first place
and that if rebellion is to come through secession, Texas would lead the
way.
Today in his syndicated column on WorldNetDaily
Norris reiterates the point: “That need may be a reality sooner than
we think. If not me, someone someday may again
be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union
continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”
So, Chuck Norris openly hates America, just like the vulgar Pigboy?
And if he's calling for the military
to ignore orders from their Commander in Chief, we must assume he hates
Obama because he's Black.
...and you Democrats don't think there's any reason to own a gun?
If Chuck Norris shows upat Casa de Bart, I'm not going to try
to fight him with my fists.
"It is absolute nonsense that I am "quitting
the music industry". What a load of bollocks!!
I have no idea where this report came from but it most certainly didn't
come from me." -- Shirley Manson, from her Facebook page,
Link
Well, Shirley, yeah, it kinda did come from you.
You quit your band, took an acting job and then said this:
"I'm 42. I have been in bands since I was 15.
There gets to a point where you are stepping out in front of 100,000 people
and your blood pressure doesn't change. I felt like I wanted to do something
in my life that scared me. You get to a point in your life where everything is too
comfortable." -- Shirley from teenmusic.com
Granted, you didn't say, "I am quitting
music," but one could get that inference without doing much leaping.
BTW, you also said,
"I was sickened by my record company's approach,
which was, to me, essentially an uncreative process. I felt like there
was nothing I was ever going to be able to do that was going to please them.
I didn't want to play the corporate music gig where they want women to make nursery rhymes.
I wasn't prepared to do that."
But Shirley, everyone in the music industry (but you) seems
to know that
you no longer need a record company's approval to distribute
your music.
Have you ever heard of the Internet?
The days of groveling before a room full of corporate suits is
OVER.
How can you be in the record business and not know that?
How can you be in a band with music producer Butch
Vig and not know that?
Tell those music industry weasels to fuck off, make whatever record
you want,
and sell it on Garbage.com
like all the other bands are doing.
I saw where someone proposed that if you do not
have "Organ Donor" on your driver's license or I.D,
you will go to the bottom of the list in case
you need an orgen....sure to get people to become donors,
enough it's theorized to take care of ALL organ
needs and enough to keep people from going overseas
to get organs from executed criminals (J-walking
if they are the right blood type) or missing children (it DOES happen)
.....that is until stem cell research gets to
the point where we can grow organs
using our own DNA so there will be no risk of
organ rejection.
Alaska Vic.
I would go a step further.
I think everyone should be marked "Organ Donor," and if someone has
a problem with that
they can go stand in line at the DMV for eight hours and get those
words taken off their license.
It's crazy that the sick are left to die because religiously-insane
people think they're
going to need all their organs when they get to Heaven or some such
foolish crappola.

No good, Howie.
Stay on the side of the Bush bastards - WE DON'T WANT YOU!
You've been a whore for so many years, you can't come back.
You and Chris Matthews and a few others are stuck being Bush's
Butt Boys.
Christ! You work at the Washington Whore Post!
You have no credibility - stay where you are!
Don't pretend you're seeing the light now - you're a whore and
everybody knows it.
I think sending Bernie Madoff to jail is
a good first step
but what he did was nothing compared to
what Bush did to America and the world.
I think it's time to go after Bush and
his gang and put the real criminals behind bars.
Letting criminals like Bush go sends the
wrong message to politicians that they are above the law.

Excerpt: In his "Jeff Christie" phase, Rush Limbaugh worked
under an assumed identity, as do many self-loathing,
closeted homosexuals. After being arrested
for soliciting a gay man in Pittsburgh, Limbaugh
was fired from KQV radio, according to numerous
sources.
In mid-2004 Rush and his third wife, Marta Limbaugh,
filed for divorce. A British source has recently
learned that Marta agreed to avoid disclosing
Rush's closeted homosexuality, or penchant for child
pornography, in exchange for a hefty divorce
settlement.
Shame on us for allowing the religiously insane to write
medical policy for people who are dying in pain.

Duhbaya was guilty of the senseless deaths of
4,200 young Americans, but they weren't the only Bush victims
The giggling murderer is also responsible for
the senseless deaths of about 1,000,000 Iraqis, mostly civilians,
children for cryin' out loud, who certainly never
volunteered for their fates.
So please, out of respect for human beings everywhere,
please acknowledge this genocidal score
when enumerating the sub-primate's evil deeds.
It's not just the American deaths that count...

Bob, I want to acknowledge those senseless deaths,
but it's tough when I'm racing by at 95 MPH.
So when I mention the 4200 dead soldiers, know
that I also mean to include the million innocent Iraqis, too.
Excerpt: Australia's environment minister was swapping

trod in a former incarnation — as the country's
loudest antiestablishment rock star.
Peter Garrett, the frontman for Midnight Oil,
broke up the band in 2002 and pursued
a career in politics that brought him into government
less than two years ago.
But band members will come together to perform
at a concert to raise funds for victims
of Australia's worst wildfires, which killed
more than 210 and destroyed thousands of
homes in southern Victoria state last month.

He had two prior convictions, so he knew he was risking life in prison,

soldiers?
Regarding the story of Cheney's
Death Squads, nobody has ruled out the possibility that they were
also operating domestically. The bush years brought
us a lot of bad things, including a plethora of "suicides"
and small plane crashes. Some that immediately
come to mind:
Paul Wellstone
Gary Webb (San Jose Mercury News reporter
who, in 1996, exposed the CIA's role in creating the crack cocaine epidemic.)
Cliff Baxter (Enron executive who died
before testifying before congress about Enron's questionable accounting
practices)
And then there's the spate of "suicides" or other
mysterious deaths among top biological scientists. Here's just a
few:
11/6/2001 - Jeffrey Paris Wall, 41, biomedical
expert ("suicide")
11/16/2001 - Donald C. Wiley, 57, one of
the foremost microbiologists in the United States ("suicide")
3/25/2002 - Steven Mostow, 63, expert in
bioterrorism (plane crash)
11/12/2002 - Benito Que, 52, expert in
infectious diseases and cellular biology ("natural causes")
7/18/2003 - Dr. David Kelly, 59, biological
warfare weapons specialist ("suicide")
What assurance can we have that this outfit isn't
still operating today, still under Cheney's control?
(A rhetorical question, to be sure.)
Your fan (mostly!),
Sally
Sally, don't forget to blame Democrats like Pelosi and Reid.
They signed off on Cheney's Murder Squads - torture, too.
Excerpt: Actor Ron Silver, who did a political about-face
from loyal Democrat to Bush-lover after 9-11, died Sunday at 62.
Silver, an Emmy nominee for his role as a human
being on "The West Wing," had a long history of balancing acting
with left-leaning social and political causes.
But after 9-11, Silver turned queer for Bush over
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Silver spoke at NaziCon
2004, referring to
himself as a "9/11 Republican"
who rejected science and logic to register as
a queer for Bush independent.
In an interview with The Whore AP, Silver said
his support for Bush's bloodlust cost him work in Hollywood.
"It's affected me very badly. I can't point to
a person or a job I've lost, but this community is not very pluralistic,"
Silver told the Whore AP, trying to defend his
monstrous fuckup. "I haven't worked for 10 months."
Silver was the actor who spoke the words on West Wing,
(the way I remember it)
"Some Democrats
refuse to fight back. Some Democrats cower
in the corner and wet themselves while begging, "Please
don't hurt me!" Well. I refuse to be a part of that."
The night I saw Silver say those words on West Wing, he
became a hero of mine.
Finally, someone was on network TV speaking the plain and simple truth.
But after 9-11, ...like Dennis Miller ...like James Woods,
...loike Rosie O'Donnell, ...like Dennis Hopper, ...like a lot
of them,
Ron Silver backstabbed his party and turned queer for Bush Fascistm.
But...I've always thought there are two kinds of enemies.
