My two cents are: It's fun to think of England as "new Europe" until you realize that's how we could think of France if France agreed with Snippy. By the same token, England could easily slip back into Old Europe and Rumsfield would be apologizing all over again for his stupid comments. There's entertainment value in that. In fact, this whole administration* has shown a unique ability to say sorry.

My two cents are: A few years back I traveled by train to visit a friend in New York. Took the Zephyr to Chicago, and most likely the Lake Shore Ltd. from there. A good time was had by all. On the return ride I met a 47-year-old nympho in the club car who claimed to be a widow. We took our drinks up into the dome to gaze at the stars for a while and then she invited me to the ladies' room. She asked when the last time was that I had been with a woman. I said about two days, that is if you consider a 15-year-old to be a woman. This information excited appear to excite her, especially the age. She unlimbered the timer began kissing it like some sort of Monica high on kneepads. Perhaps she had Mao syndrome, and thought there might still be enough dried medicinal juice left to fight the wrinkles and aging process. Once the dough had risen she stood up and slipped the bread into the oven. I guess she did this so that she could use her mouth to talk. So she asked if I had a girl friend. When I said yes, she asked me to describe her. I said o.k., one thing she liked was doing it in the alternative plug, a couple centimeters south. She turned around with her back to me and said to show her how I do it with my girlfriend. Once the meat was donw and the timer had popped out I went back to the club car and joined a black gentleman with whom I had struck up a conversation earlier. He said he was the owner of an off Broadway theatre which specialized in performing avant guard material. We went to his sleeper, dimmed the lights and turned the doobs into ash as the miles passed beneath the tracks cutting through the heartland.

My two cents are: "According to Article 130 (Sexual Offenses) of the New York Penal Code, if the perpetrator is less than 21 years of age and the victim is under 17 years, this is a sexual misconduct offense; if the perpetrator is older than 21 and the victim is under 17, t his is known as third degree rape; if the perpetrator is older than 18 and the victim is less than 14, then this is second degree rape; and, if the victim is younger than 11 years of age, then first degree rape has been committed. The severity of the punishment varies according to the charge. In New York State, sexual misconduct is a Class A Misdemeanor, which carries a maximum sentence of 1 year; third degree rape is a Class E Felony, with a maximum sentence range of 3 - 4 years; second degree rape is a Class D Felony, with a maximum sentence range of 3 - 7 years; and, first degree rape is a Class B Felony, with a maximum sentence range of 6 - 25 years. Of course, sentencing also depends on multiple variables of each individual case and therefore, may or may not follow these sentencing guidelines. In addition, the statute of limitations, with respect to New York State criminal law, is five years for a felony and less than five years for a misdemeanor. This is important because in the case of a felony, the district attorney (D.A.) can take the case to court and bring charges against the defendant up to (but no more than) five years after the crime has been committed."

My two cents are: "If you support Bush on Iraq and he wins, you gain zip," explained a Democratic strategist. "If you support him and he loses, you lose along with him. But if you oppose him and things go bad, you stand to be a big winner." <> In such a hurry to see Americans killed this analyst leaves out the option of not backing Bush ahead of an American victory against the dictator.

My two cents are: Pusoily? Farm thing? Don't know. Anyway, I too found myself scratching my head about Glint's blurt. I figure he probably got tipsy last night and found his mind racing randomly from one thing or other that's been festering for months, years or decades. You can tell Livingston and Hyde threw Glint for a loop with their goatish sexuality, their public promotion of sexual liberation, federally-approved swinging and Congressional circle jerks. I think it hit him last night when he was drunk that everything can be seen as a half-full glass. We're not repressed, THEY'RE repressed! That's the ticket! Wait till they see the post I'm planning.

My two cents are: You've got to wonder how many years Glint had that point about Hyde and Livingston and their "indiscretions" brewing in his tortured mind. Or did he just wake up after his nap with it full-fledged and on the tip of his tongue? I prefer to think he suffered, confused and muttering to himself these many years, wondering how he was going to explain away the fact that a number of his favorite Republicans were horn-dogs, in a twisted sort of way. The thought has all the hallmarks of heavy lifting, real hydraulic ram application of logic. It's almost worthy of a Pete!

My two cents are: Fuel of it Bush's sudden enthusiasm for hydrogen fuel-cell technology is laudable, of course. His proposal of $1.2 billion for additional research is also very nice. (Evidently the "free market" alone doesn't invariably produce what society needs.) He even offered a vision of a better future: "With a new national commitment, our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom, so that the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen, and pollution-free." So someone should ask Bush if he remembers who wrote this: "We have a partnership with the American auto industry ... to develop cars that achieve three times today's mileage with the same pricing, comfort and safety; the companies and research scientists are making remarkable progress toward revolutionary change in the design and development of fuel cell vehicles. "I was criticized for suggesting ... that we should move away from the internal combustion engine over the next quarter-century. The attack was never more than smoke-and-fumes; I was calling not for an end to the car industry but for new types of cars." That's Al "Ozone Man" Gore, in the revised foreword to the 2000 reissue of his 1992 book, "Earth in the Balance." Back then the Republican Party apparatchiks and all the conservative pundits ridiculed Gore's kooky ideas about replacing the internal combustion engine. (See the Daily Howler for copious details.) The moronic Jim Nicholson, then chairman of the Republican National Committee, used to stand at the fax machine all day, sending out messages that attacked Gore for wanting to do away with the internal "combustible" engine, which were duly repeated by all the right-wing hacks. They used Gore's farsighted ideas against him in places like Michigan and Tennessee, where lots of cars are built. Now they will all tell you that Bush is simply brilliant for supporting this visionary technology. Do the math, as my friend Jack Gillis did, and it turns out that Gore's notion of replacing the internal combustion within 25 years, as he suggested in 1992, is within a year of the date now proposed by Bush for the same goal. If Bush has any "integrity and honor," he will invite Gore to the White House to sign the legislation that funds fuel-cell research. That is, if this promise ever comes to pass.

My two cents are:

The dizzying spin from the left hides that fact that it is the Democrats, not the Repulicans, who are the party of sexual repression. Republicans aren't shy about their sex lives. You don't see them supressing their natural urges. No, Honorable Henry owned up his indescretion as did Bob Livingston. On the other hand, it's the jism hiding democrats who shake their fingers and deny having sexual relations with that woman in any way, shape or form and being unable to provide a rational explanation as to why the spray from their glands happend to attach itself to a blue dress. Just a little history lesson to go with your tacos. - Wednesday, January 29, 2003 at 14:21:23 (EST)

Just buy pollution credits from the lesser polluters so that the ground water can continue to be contaminated. Maybe assassination, coup d'etat credits will be available for the likes of a Saddam.

My two cents are: On any given day, Saddam�s government drops its objection to an intrusive method of scrutiny. It has allowed unannounced visits to his grotesque palaces and says it will permit unaccompanied interviews of his military scientists. The Iraqi government consistently denies, truthfully or not, that it possesses any weapons of mass destruction or that it intends to construct any, let alone use them. Iraq has not threatened any of its neighbors since its forces were expelled from Kuwait by the allied coalition in 1991. It possesses no intercontinental ballistic missiles, and never has.

My two cents are: Mr Blix, responsible for chemical, biological weapons and missiles, stunned [yes ~ stunned!] the security council with an outspoken condemnation of Iraqi behaviour, saying Baghdad had yet to accept the need for genuine disarmament. "Iraq appears not to have come to a genuine acceptance - not even today - of the disarmament which was demanded of it and which it needs to carry out to win the confidence of the world and to live in peace." Mr Blix gave a litany of unaccounted-for Iraqi weapons, including 6,500 chemical bombs, material sufficient to create 5,000 litres of anthrax and an unknown quantity in weapon form of the lethal chemical VX.

My two cents are: Mr. Powell said "we are getting closer and closer to the point where the Security Council is going to have to look at the options that it anticipated" when it passed Resolution 1441. Inspectors have been in Iraq for eight weeks and have found just 16 of the 30,000 chemical warheads and chemical munitions in its possession at the end of the 1990s, as reported by the United Nations. "At the pace that Iraq is cooperating with the inspectors, it will take the inspectors another almost 300 years to find the remaining weapons the United Nations says Saddam Hussein possesses," Mr. Fleischer said. "The more time they get, the more they're getting the runaround from Saddam Hussein."

My two cents are: Well, HA HA, the point is that you should be on your guard when you hear news reports about 90 billion gallons of anything, but even more so when it is under the ground where it's hard to get into the measuring bucket. We just want to start in on the problem by figuring out just what 90 billion gallons of water is, because we don't want to be, you know, gee-whizzed into this thing as if it were a simple attack on a foreign country or something. Later on we'll investigate where the number came from and what it really might describe, if anything.

My two cents are: Right on the car tax, there, Tee Hee. It is apportioned to the local governments, and when it was cut to next to nothing by your basic nouveau California anti-tax lunatics in 1998 the legislature voted to replace it with general funds given to the municipalities. The "tripling" would put it back to where it was in the day when people had to pay directly for the roads they drive on. The alternative is to fire cops, because this is Cali, dude, and the roads will be maintained. Come to think of it, who needs cops.

Let's see, if there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, and 43,560 cubic feet in an acre foot, that adds up to almost 215,000 acre-feet of suspect groundwater! Geesh, when you figure that the 1995 level water deliveries estimated by the Department of Water Resources is at only 77,900,000 acre-feet, with 12,493,000 acre-feet of that from groundwater, you can see that the state has got itself into quite a pickle. Geesh-a-roonie, guess the boys from Cali will have to start drinking bottled water!

My two cents are: What I heard, the microwave bombs are to fry the electronics. Everything goes haywire, but the people aren't killed, not unless they're using a pacemaker or something. Electromagnetic waves to attack neurological systems? Seems like an awful long way around. The sad fact is, all these fancy idears are poor cousins compared to good old fashioned HE. Blowing people up works better than gassing them, undoubtedly better than electromagnetizing them, and a whole lot better on a battlefield than disease. Does anyone thinks it's a little odd that even the Krauts didn't use these things in WWII? It's because they are ineffective. High explosive is the bull good weapon, and nuclear high explosives are the only Weapon of Mass Destruction. The rest of it might as well have been designed by Carlos Santana.

My two cents are: Harlan Ullman, the guy who taught at the National War College, suggests we use every kind of weapon to create shock and awe in Iraq. When it comes to Iraq, Ullman likes the idea of cruise missiles -- lots of them, right away. CBS News reports that Ullman�s ideas are the basis for the Pentagon�s war plan. The U.S. would smash Baghdad with up to 800 cruise missiles in the first two days of the war. That�s about one every four minutes, day and night, for 48 hours. He once said it might be a good idea to use electromagnetic waves that attack peoples� neurological systems, �to control the will and perception of adversaries, by applying a regime of shock and awe. It is about effecting behavior." He wants to do to Baghdad what we did to Hiroshima. They call Ullman a defense" intellectual."

My two cents are: THERE IS A staggering chutzpah to the Bush administration's approach to public relations. They don't bother to deal with facts already in evidence; they just say whatever they want us to believe and deflect all questions and contradictions. They believe that consistency doesn't matter because no one is paying attention. They believe that policy analysis is for wonks, and that the great American public wants broad strokes and stirring rhetoric. Already, they have trotted out the increasingly resentful ghosts of the tragedy of Sept. 11 to support everything from police-state surveillance measures to a war against a nation uninvolved in the attack on the World Trade Center. Soon we'll find out that the terrorists are all involved in a plot to broaden abortion rights. It used to be that Colin Powell sort of told the truth most of the time. But now he's gone over to the dark side. He insisted last week that the president had not made a decision about whether to go to war. The president is consulting with allies and waiting for the inspectors to report. He has no timetable. For six months, this administration has been devoted to regime change in Iraq. This is not a guess; they said so. For six months they have believed that February is the best time to begin a war; the weather is likely to be the most favorable then. This is also not a guess; this was part of Pentagon briefings. So now it's very late January, and suddenly the inspections have been declared a failure unilaterally. The Bush administration's efforts to manipulate the U.N. Security Council have proved futile, so they've decided to denounce the recalcitrant members. GERMANY AND FRANCE represent "the old Europe," said Donald Rumsfeld, failing to describe where the "new Europe" might be located -- perhaps wherever Tony Blair is brownnosing this week. (Actually, what with the euro and open borders, Germany and France represent a really new Europe, a united trading entity that can be a real competitor to the United States. But they don't agree with the American bully, so they must be denigrated, even if the epithet is meaningless.) Powell also said other nations would join our fight, but he declined to name them. I guess Qatar is on board, and perhaps we have bribed Turkey enough to sign on, but even the current government of Israel is wavering. Israel is wavering about the advisability of a war against an Arab nation? Anyone want to check those plans again? AND IT IS not only about the war that the administration betrays its true nature. Remember when Bush tried to dodge the Enron bullet by making a folksy speech about protecting the small investor? Late last week, the New York Times reported that the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission was preparing to water down rules governing business lawyers and accountants. In other words, the laws that failed to protect us last time around are about to get weaker. Why? Because of lobbying from the Bush administration's one true constituency, large corporations and their lobbying groups. This is on the heels of a report that more than 1,000 banks are actually encouraging overdrafts, for the first time in their history. Not just permitting them, encouraging them. Yes, please, spend more than you earn, so we can charge you fees and penalties and late fees on the fees, in effect loaning you the money at absurdly high interest rates. When you point out that these new policies disproportionately affect the poor, you are accused of bringing up "class warfare." Well, yeah. That conflict has been going on for a while, and we didn't start it. The administration is dedicated to fighting a two-front war: against them over there, and against us over here.

My two cents are: Of the Tampa Bay area's top 15 employers, just four are based here. Two of the four locally based employers are hospitals; the others are the big electric utilities, TECO Energy Inc. and Florida Progress Corp. And by the end of this year, Florida Progress will be owned by Carolina Power & Light Co. With banks, utilities and other companies merging left and right, the area has fewer corporate headquarters all the time. There's much more at stake than bragging rights. Corporate headquarters provide high-quality jobs. Many of the Tampa Bay area's top employers are supermarket chains, discount chains and theme parks, which employ people by the hundreds, but not necessarily with high-paying jobs.

My two cents are: Get off Glub's back. He's limited by his Cornholer background. What happens in the Super Bowl is, the mayors of each represented city make a friendly wager with products that each city produces. I believe Mayor Jerry Brown bet the mayor of Tampa (since there's no such town as Tampa Bay) some ribs from one of the barbeque joints in Oakland, a case of beer from an Oakland microbrew and some other stuff. I forget what the other mayor bet. The governors of the two states also bet, but they bet state products. I think Davis bet Jeb some wine, maybe some artichokes and a modern voting machine. Jeb bet something Florida-like but I can't remember what it was. The real joke was how Davis smoked Jeb out. Jeb tried avoiding the whole issue because the Bushes are pissed off at Davis. So, Davis had a big press conference suggesting he and Jeb hook up on a video link and make their bets for the viewing pleasure of each state's residents. Jeb jerked around like a one-winged cyclops before he had his press secretary say Jeb was too busy to go before the camera and risk more dirty tricks from a big-time demonCRAP. The bet was made through staff.

Remember, those sides of beef would be pretty poor fare without a little sea salt, even if they are more flashy as a governor-to-governor wager.

My two cents are: Unbeknowest to your ignorant correspondent, when betting involves products or services that the particular region involved in the competition is generally famous for the Governor of the Bay Area has a wide variety of products from which to select. Fine wines, "acid rock" music with long noodling guitar solos, Nobel Prize-winning physicists, salt evaporated from the bosom of the sea, printed circuitry, and bloatware are but a few of these. The Bay Area is home to Hewlett-Packard, the Hoover Institute, the Top of the Mark, the Tasellajara Zen Center, Fisherman's Wharf, the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, and the quintessentially heteroerotic Hooker's Ball. Selecting the blow job as our prime export is ludicrous, pathetic, and redolent with the sensibility of the poker-assed cornbelt rube with nothing more to offer than the remains of dead animals.

My two cents are: Blowjobs. Bay Area. Blowjobs. Bay Area. Get it? See the tie-in? Here, I'll explain it and then you will laugh. See, there's a large gay population in the City of San Francisco. I read that. Gays, like straight sinners, engage in oral sex a lot. They're as famous for that as Florida is for grapefruits, retired Jews and crooked elections. So, if the San Francisco Forty-Niners lost, Davis would have to give Jeb Bush a blowjob (something Jeb apparently wants Davis to give him as much as Davis might want grapefruits from Jeb.) Sure, the 49ers weren't in the game, but Oakland was. There may be many blowjobs given in Oakland on any given day, but the joke would fall flat if Glint said "the Oakland team" because, well, Glint knows nothing about Oakland. So, like the clever bumbpkin he is, he globalized. Went with bay Area, doncha know. We're talking about a population of maybe 7 million people, say 4.5 million adults, maybe 10% of whom are gay, but about 2 million who might have gotten a blowjob at some time. Get it? Blowjobs.

My two cents are:

What a rout. Worst inhumanity seen since NU-CU. In some big state college games the Governors get involved for some good natured wagering on certain big games. So for instance, the Governor of the Cornhuskers might pony up a side of corn fed beef against, say, the Gov. of Georgia who puts up a truck load of peaches. In other words, the betting involves products or services that the particular region involved in the competition is generally famous for. So, I was wondering if the Governors of the respective states do the same thing in professional sports. If not, what would they have used? I suppose that if the Florida team lost perhaps Jeb would have sent Gov. Davis a semi load of grapefruit. But if the bay area team lost, Gov. Davis would have to give Jeb a blow job. - Monday, January 27, 2003 at 09:50:38 (EST)

My two cents are: The Rove Machine Rolls On By Robert B. Reich Issue Date: 2.1.03 Print Friendly | Email Article It's no accident that Karl Rove was one of Richard Nixon's moles. Using techniques developed by his first mentor, dirty-tricks strategist Donald Segretti, Rove infiltrated Democratic organizations on behalf of Nixon's infamous 1972 campaign. Rove's formidable talents came to the attention of George Bush Senior, then incoming Republican National Committee chairman, and the rest is history. Seven presidential campaigns later, Rove masterminded a deluge of disinformation against John McCain, whose upset victory in New Hampshire had given him a shot at the Republican nomination. Word was spread among South Carolina voters that McCain had fathered a black daughter out of wedlock (McCain had, in fact, adopted a Bangladeshi girl), that McCain was a homosexual, that McCain's wife had a drug problem and so on. Now Rove is masterminding the Bush administration's press strategy, but it's far more than a press strategy. It's the central strategy for how the public understands what George W. Bush is doing to and for America. In an important sense, it is the Bush presidency. Rove's methodology largely explains why Bush's popularity remains strong despite the unremittingly awful economy (mounting job losses, weak profits and a three-year stock-market slide) and despite the shambles of the administration's foreign policy (Osama bin Laden still at large, al-Qaeda as dangerous as ever, North Korea more menacing than ever, Israelis and Palestinians as far away from the bargaining table as ever, anti-Americanism rising across the globe and a pending war in Iraq lacking clear justification). A midterm USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll had Bush's job approval rating falling to 58 percent, dropping below 60 percent for the first time since the September 11 attacks. Under these circumstances, any other president would be in danger of losing his job. But Rove has convinced the press, and therefore the American public, that this presidency is nearly invincible. He has done it with an ingenious blend of chicanery and obfuscation, aided by the Democrats' utter incapability of devising a coherent message in response. Use whatever excuse is available at the time to justify the administration's long-term ideological agenda. Rove is adept at framing Bush's goals as responses to immediate problems, and orchestrating Republican and right-wing policy experts to give the policies enough patina of credibility to satisfy the media. A lousy economy? We need to eliminate taxes on dividends. Never mind that this supposed remedy has nothing to do with stimulating the economy; it's a "jobs and growth plan for the long term," whatever that means. The continuing threat of terrorism? We need to invade Iraq. Forget that Saddam Hussein has for years been at odds with al-Qaeda or that North Korea is a more potent and dangerous supplier of nuclear components; we must eliminate Hussein's capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction before he uses them. Count on the American public's (and the media's) inability to remember anything from one year to the next. The Rove machine gave Bush tough talking points on corporate fraud when the newspapers were full of Enron, Global Crossing, WorldCom and Tyco, and when reporters were asking uncomfortable questions about Bush's and Cheney's own corporate dealings. Rove played for time, assuming that warmongering about Iraq (carefully orchestrated to begin just a few months before the midterm elections) would bury the issue. He was right. The administration dragged its feet on reform, and a year out almost nothing has changed. Another example: Rove sold the administration's $1.35 trillion tax cut in 2001 as a way to spur the ailing economy. Obviously it had no such effect, but Rove assumed no one would remember. Right again. Now the White House is selling the administration's 2003 tax cut as a way to spur the ailing economy. Keep everything under wraps. The only other administration in living memory as secretive as this one was -- no surprise -- Richard Nixon's. Whether it's Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force, John Ashcroft's gag orders, the White House's anti-abortion strategy, its plan for gutting environmental protections and regulations, or its assault on civil liberties under the guise of homeland security, the public knows almost nothing about what's actually occurring. Leaks are rare. Information is parceled out carefully. Reporters who tell the story the way Rove would like it told (Bob Woodward) get special access. All others are kept in the dark. Cut embarrassing players loose and pretend they're exceptions. Trent Lott was dead meat in the White House as soon as the press figured out that he meant what he said. Rove carefully let it be known that the administration supported Bill Frist for Senate majority leader. Rove also kept the attention focused on Lott and off the administration (Ashcroft's racist history as Missouri's attorney general, the administration's pending position on the Supreme Court case about affirmative action at the University of Michigan, Judge Charles Pickering's noisome record on civil rights and so on). Likewise, after Harvey Pitt dug himself into a hole at the Securities and Exchange Commission, Rove abruptly cut off his lifeline and pretended the White House had wanted vigorous regulation all along. Karl Rove is calling the shots. Richard Nixon would be proud. The rest of us should be appalled.

My two cents are: SLASH AND SPEND REPUBLICANS By Bridget Gibson, America Held Hostile "People have so manipulated the concept of freedom that it finally boils down to the right of the stronger and richer to take from the weaker and poorer whatever they still have." - Theodor Adorno Yearning for the good old days of the "tax and spend" Democrats (the time when we didn't spend more than we took in ) seems to be the lot for all Americans. The federal surplus of $236 Billion for the year ended September 30, 2001 (the last budget day of the last budget under Bill Clinton) has turned into a projected deficit of $390 Billion for the year ending September 30, 2003. That's a difference of $626 Billion between income and outgo - a textbook illustration of the difference between fiscal responsibility and dismal failure to meet any reasonable expectation that our elected and appointed officials understand even the most basic accounting procedures. Not since 1992, under the auspices of George Herbert Walker Bush budget, has our country witnessed such a profound lack of fiscal prudence in expenditures given the Presidential Seal. Perhaps this inability to make things add up runs in this particular family, or perhaps having received an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree from Yale has allowed George Jr. to believe he might be able to fudge his numbers a bit. After all, he was a "C" student. They say a fish rots from the head down, and my nose tells me this one is past ripe. This inability to hold oneself accountable for the accounting that is done has gone a step too far. I don't know about you, but my own accounting doesn't get blamed on anyone but me. I don't get to blame the dog when it needs to go to the vet, I don't get to blame the car when it needs repair and I haven't noticed that my mechanic takes any other woes into account when it is time to settle the bill. I don't get to leave my debts behind for my child and I don't try to hand my mistakes to my neighbors. In this world of 'accountability', it appears the only one who isn't ever held accountable is George W. Bush. If I hear anyone else whine that the things that are happening on his shift are not his fault and he is not to be blamed for the economy, the state of the union, the coming war with Iraq, the fiasco in Afghanistan, the flair up of tensions with Korea and the mess that he has made of relationships with 90% of the international community, I do believe that I will become violently ill. Since he has been in office, it seems that his every action has been contrary to the good of our nation. To date, he has not met an environmental safeguard that he hasn't trashed, a budget he hasn't busted, a country he hasn't threatened or a war he wouldn't create. If we live through the reign of the red ink Republicans, I can only hope and pray that we survive the slash and bomb Bushes.

My two cents are: "Former Undersecretary of Defense in the Bush Committee. Wolfowitz began by praising Scott Ritter, "a public servant of exceptional integrity and moral courage, one of those individuals who is not afraid to speak the truth. As an intelligence officer in CENTCOM during the Gulf war, he refused to submit reports that would have substantiated claims made by senior officers in briefings, even though he was pressured to do so, because he knew those claims to be untrue." That would seem to be allusion to Ritter's challenge to those generals who claimed that the US had destroyed mobile SCUD launchers during the Gulf war, although there was no credible evidence to that effect. Wolfowitz also took on the administration for its attempts to smear and discredit Ritter, before turning to the issue of US policy on Iraq."

Don't tell me that irony is dead. Not with irony falling into our laps.

My two cents are: I don't think Bush should be impeached. That is a serious event when it happens to a Republican and is not just lunatic yapping from repressed right-wingers in the House. We should all look for ways to allow him to resign, however. You can tell the poor bandy-legged little sap isn't enjoying himself and would like to get out. Of course, then the country would have to deal with a Cheney inflated beyond all belief, but at least he would be able to work some excuse for running away from the false confrontation with Saddam. Much better liar than Bush. Of course, the best thing would be to get young Bush to resign and then remove Cheney from office for his crimes. That would keep him occupied until 2004, when the Democrats take over.

My two cents are: It was revealed that the Bush Administration lied again about Iraq's nuclear weapons potential. "When President Bush traveled to the United Nations in September to make his case against Iraq, he brought along a rare piece of evidence for what he called Iraq's 'continued appetite' for nuclear bombs. The finding: Iraq had tried to buy thousands of high-strength aluminum tubes, which Bush said were 'used to enrich uranium for a nuclear weapon.'" However� "The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the U.N.-chartered nuclear watchdog, reported in a January 8, 2003 preliminary assessment that the tubes were 'not directly suitable' for uranium enrichment but were 'consistent' with making ordinary artillery rockets -- a finding that meshed with Iraq's official explanation for the tubes. New evidence supporting that conclusion has been gathered in recent weeks[.]" This further bloats the list of blatant lies that the Bush Administration has concocted about Iraq. To illustrate, let's take a stroll down Memory Lane. Remember this bald-faced lie that Bush used to terrify the citizenry? "The International Atomic Energy Agency says that a report cited by Bush as evidence that Iraq in 1998 was 'six months away' from developing a nuclear weapon does not exist. 'There's never been a report like that issued from this agency,' said Mark Gwozdecky, the IAEA's chief spokesman." And how about this gem. "Bush cited a satellite photograph and a report by the U.N. atomic energy agency as evidence of Iraq's impending [nuclear] rearmament. But in response to a report by NBC News, a senior administration official acknowledged Saturday night that the U.N. report drew no such conclusion, and a spokesman for the U.N. agency said the photograph had been misinterpreted."

My two cents are: Ritter doesn't excuse Iraq for lying from 1991 to 1996, about VX gas and about its nuclear weapons program. He details how Iraqi officials falsified reports on the VX program again and again; but ultimately the production facility and stockpile were destroyed. Other agents like Sarin and Tabun "have a shelf life of five years"; therefore even if Iraq hid these chemicals in vast amounts, as many have claimed, they are now harmless.

My two cents are: WHEN HIS ARCHRIVAL, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, had raised the idea of taking on Saddam Hussein only days after 9-11, Powell rolled his eyes in exasperation, insisting Al Qaeda alone should be the focus. Last summer Powell warned President Bush in dire terms not to attack Iraq unilaterally, and prodded him to go to the United Nations. But last week, as Powell listened to Europeans boast about the success of the weapons inspectors in Iraq, his patience finally gave out. Sitting across a long rectangular table inside Manhattan�s Waldorf-Astoria hotel, the usually genial Powell issued a stark warning to his French counterpart: the clock has run out on Saddam and the United Nations. �Don�t underestimate the resolve of the United States to solve this problem without dragging it out,� he said. The dove had finally morphed into a hawk.

My two cents are: WASHINGTON -- Addressing the delegates more than two years ago at the Republican National Convention, President Bush invoked a line that had become a sort of mantra. "Big government is not the answer," he said. Now, just past the midway point of his first term in office, Bush is presiding over the largest, most expensive -- and, some would say, most intrusive -- federal government in history.

He invaded Kuwait ten years ago and got kicked back in his corner because of it, lost his military strength and his freedom of action. He had a war with Iran that we supported. He has "the keys" to some oil. Geesh, these are wonderful reasons to go to war! Aren't you convinced? Geesh, neither is anyone else but Pete! I can't imagine why, it's all so clear and convincing!

Pretty ugly, when you think about it. This Republican administration is a pack of traitors to the better side of this country, to anything that is good about this country.

Mary is clueless, blinded by her liberal feel gooder brainwashing and automatic knee jerk reaction to condemn anything that anyone not of her socialsitic ilk proposes. She follows in the steps very closely (too closely, in fact) of the anonymi coward who tries to spin, limit and ignore as follows: "Saddam's stunts? Well, he can't fly over the north or the south of his country (he still does with his planes, aerials and threats to take everyone down, including Israel), which have become essentially autonomous countries (clueless about the ground reality which Iraq does control). That's a stunt (not really, it is ignorance). Then there's the embargo-- he can't buy anything unless he sells some oil to the Vice-president's buddies first (We get less than 2%. I'd say Russia and France are not really our buddies, but the liebrals will spin anything they don't understand). That's sort of a stunt (emphasize sort of as an admission this liberal idiot couldn't possibly know). We bomb anything in his country we feel like bombing (not true, only radar, anti-plane and no fly zone areas pursuant to our interpretation of the uN resolution, even if it differs from others view). That's more our stunt than his, but it's still a stunt." Let's see, he ignores, gassing his own people, threatening to send chemical weapons on Israel, his torching the oil fields for enviro disaster, his invasion of Kuwait, etc. Se,, the liebrals smell a huge potential victory is brewing for Busha dn that is what they ahte most: the possibility Bush will be demonstrated as the great American he is and further place the nails in teh liberal/socialist/demonrat coffin.

My two cents are: Winchester, Va -- A man trying to beat his dog to death with a gun was fatally wounded when the weapon apparently went off accidentally, police said. Raymond Poore Jr., 43, called his wife Debbie at work Thursday and told her their dog had bitten him and he intended to kill the animal, police Capt. David Sobonya said. The wife came home about 6 p.m. and found her husband unconscious, with a number of dog bites and scratches. Emergency medical personnel discovered that Poore had been shot. He was pronounced dead at Winchester Medical Center. Sobonya said Poore must have beaten the 30-pound Chinese shar-pei with the butt of a rifle-shotgun when it discharged. He said the stock of the weapon, a .22-caliber rifle barrel atop a .410-gauge shotgun barrel, was broken and there appeared to be blood and dog hair on it. The dog, a female named Bailey, was destroyed Friday morning by Frederick County, Va., animal control officers at Debbie Poore's request. The couple had gotten the dog from a friend about eight months ago. Debbie Poore, a food service employee, said her husband had a history of sparring with the dog. "But I kept telling him, 'You shouldn't play rough with her,'�" she said, declining to comment further.

My two cents are: Osama who? The White House's focus on Saddam is meant to divert attention from America's still-AWOL Public Enemy No. 1. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Arianna Huffington Sept. 30, 2002 | We all know who attacked us on Sept. 11, 2001, don't we? No, not Osama bin Laden. God, that is so last year. It never turns out to be the person you first suspect. It was Saddam Hussein. For some reason we couldn't find him when we went after him in Afghanistan, bringing that magic elixir of regime change along with us. But now we've got a better idea: Track him down where he actually lives, in Baghdad, and punish him right in his own backyard. It's the only way to obtain justice for the thousands he killed on 9/11. At least that's the way the White House is now pitching the story. In this latest rewrite of history, Osama has suddenly lost his beard and grown a mustache, morphing into the Butcher of Baghdad -- or one of the look-alike stand-ins Saddam has been using for public appearances since 1998. "You can't distinguish between al-Qaida and Saddam when you talk about the war on terror," said President Bush in the Oval Office last week. Really? He can't differentiate between a group of evil ultra-radical Islamic fundamentalists that carried out the Sept. 11 attacks and an evil secular nationalist who, despite the frantic efforts of the Bush administration, has not been directly linked to 9/11? He'd better start making such distinctions -- and fast. When every expert who knows anything about the Mideast can distinguish between the two, is it too much to ask that a president who's ready to go to war look a bit closer? People under stress often regress to earlier stages of development. It appears Bush is so intent on getting Saddam, so tightly gripped by a need to succeed where his war-hero dad failed, so obsessively determined to lay the murderous 9/11 assault at Baghdad's door, that he's regressed to that level of childhood development where fantasy, reality and wish fulfillment are all mixed up. Except that this time, things like nuclear weapons and the safety of the world for the next few decades are involved. Now, I'm no psychologist, but I believe there is a clinical term for this condition: going off the deep end. How else to explain the president's bizarre response to a reporter's straightforward query last week about who poses a bigger threat to America, Saddam or al-Qaida? "That's an interesting question," he replied. "I'm trying to think of something humorous to say but I can't when I think about al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein." When did the president take over "The Tonight Show"? Why would the idea that he should make a joke about such a deadly serious subject even cross his mind? It would be like asking Danielle van Dam's parents about the trial of their daughter's murderer and having them apologize for not being ready with a humorous quip. No, Mr. President, you needn't apologize -- your inability to treat serious subjects lightly is not one of your deficiencies. So rather than struggle to come up with a wan witticism, why don't you just answer the question? Especially since it appears by your actions that you've already come up with one. Instead of bothering to give the least defense of his sudden fusion of Saddam and Osama, Bush launched into a fantasy-fueled diatribe: "The danger is, is that they work in concert. The danger is, is that al-Qaida becomes an extension of Saddam's madness and his hatred and his capacity to extend weapons of mass destruction around the world." The president's regressed condition is spreading like the West Nile virus throughout the West Wing and beyond. Witness the symptomatic blurring of fact and fantasy exhibited by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. When asked at an Armed Services Committee hearing about what is now compelling us to "take precipitous actions" against Iraq, Rumsfeld barked: "What's different? What's different is 3,000 people were killed." Yeah, by Mohammed Atta and company -- not Saddam Hussein. By why quibble over details when there is a propaganda war to be won? National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice continued the assault on reality when she vaguely yet ominously claimed: "There clearly are contacts between al-Qaida and Iraq that can be documented." Well then, why not document them? We've documented contacts between al-Qaida and our oil dealers in Saudi Arabia and al-Qaida and our new best friends in Pakistan. But I don't see any B-2s powering up for raids over Riyadh or Karachi. As is the White House custom, Rice simply refused to back up her claims. So did Rumsfeld, who memorably rebuffed a reporter late last week by saying, "That happens to be a piece of intelligence that either we don't have or we don't want to talk about." In other words: Proof? We don't need no stinking proof! And just because I'm asking your sons and daughters to possibly sacrifice their lives for it doesn't mean you deserve to know whether it even exists. It would be nice if we could just take them all at their word and let the bombs fall where they may. But Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., who, as chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence is privy to the inside scoop, says he's seen no evidence of any link between al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein. So we're left with the fevered, infantile imaginings of the president and his pals. "We had dots before," said Anna Perez, Rice's spokeswoman. "Now we have a higher density of dots. Have we connected those dots? No." Perhaps the president should put down his saber-rattle, pick up his crayons, and connect them before drawing us into a bloody war.

My two cents are: THE NBC NEWS/Wall Street Journal poll, based on phone interviews Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with 1,025 people, seems to suggest that the 2004 Democratic nomination is more valuable than it was two months ago. A growing percentage of those polled feel that the country is on the wrong track, a view that makes President Bush appear increasingly beatable. A year ago, only 1 in 5 of those polled by Peter Hart and Bob Teeter for NBC News and The Wall Street Journal thought America was headed in the wrong direction. The new poll indicates that 47 percent of respondents think the country is on the wrong track. NAME RECOGNITION But at this point, none of the Democrats seeking their party�s nomination has much support for a run against Bush. The NBC/Journal poll shows that 39 percent of Democrats want Clinton to be their party�s nominee in 2004. She is far ahead of her nearest potential rival, Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, who draws 13 percent among self-identified Democrats.

My two cents are: 01-24) 09:31 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton launched a blistering critique of the Bush administration's domestic anti-terror efforts in a draft of a speech to be delivered Friday, saying the White House has fostered a "myth" of domestic security. "Time has passed and our vigilance has faded," Clinton said in a draft of the prepared remarks obtained by The Associated Press. The speech was to be delivered Friday afternoon at John Jay College in Manhattan. "Our vigilance has faded at the top, in the corridors of power in Washington, D.C., where the strategy and resources to protect our nation are supposed to originate. Where leaders are supposed to lead," Clinton said. Clinton's challenge to President Bush's domestic security efforts comes four days before he is to deliver the State of the Union address. "We have relied on a myth of homeland security -- a myth written in rhetoric, inadequate resources and a new bureaucracy instead of relying on good, old-fashioned American ingenuity, might and muscle," Clinton said. "The truth is we are not prepared, we are not supporting our first responders, and our approach to securing our nation is haphazard at best," Clinton said. "Somewhere along the line, we lost our edge. We let our guard down."

My two cents are: Long as we're posting shit, here's a paste from the Iconoclast, which is where Glint or Pete picked up the Mugger thing. Actually, it's linked on the Iconoclast, not actually written by the same guy: Review: George Bush In Mad Tex IV: Road To Iraq Set once again in the near future, some time in the middle of 2003, Mad Tex IV is an all action extravaganza. In a world where the oil wells are drying up, control of the remaining oilfields rests with a corrupt leader who refuses to give up his prized asset to our hero. Control of these remaining oilfields is as good as control of the world itself as country after country is brought to its knees by its lack of fuel. Within seconds of the opening credits, we see the star Mad Tex, this time played by George W. Bush surveying the barren Iraqi wasteland. He pulls back the sleeve on his leather Texas Rangers jacket and barks an order into his futuristic phonewatch. �Bomb the bastards!� We are then treated to a cinematic treat, a full forty minutes of bombs and explosions. With some of the most realistic and gruesome scenes since Santa Claus Defeats The Martians, Mad Tex�s forces pound Iraqi installations around the prized oil fields with wave after wave of destruction. Victory is no means guaranteed for Mad Tex as he is forced to break ancient allegiances to ensure success for his mission. Encountering a collection of colourful foes from the garlic-reeking Gauloisies to escaping a SauerKraut bombardment from the fearsome Teutons. Max�s only ally in his mission is a strange creature known simply as �Blair� but bred from a lame duck, a parrot and a British bulldog. Wheeling itself alongside Mad Tex as a result of its broken spine, Blair brings humour to an otherwise serious film as it mimics its only friend Mad Tex acting as a spy in the Gauloisie and Teuton camps. Without ruining the ending, it is safe to say that the screenwriters should be congratulated for the final and shocking twist. Will Mad Tex win the day and secure control of the OilFields? You will have to wait for the film�s release later in 2003.

My two cents are: Big Apple columnist Mugger recently opined: Clinton is a national embarrassment, a bored and bitter politician whose weekly routine is a mixture of lucrative (and usually incoherent) speeches around the world, socializing with celebrities and criticizing Bush with an unprecedented zeal, demolishing the tradition of an ex-president keeping mum, at least for several years, about his successor. Even Jimmy Carter, who disgracefully accepted a Nobel Peace Prize that was awarded to him only as a rebuke to Bush, looks graceful in comparison. Witness Bill Clinton's recent ill-chosen remarks accusing the Republican Party of playing the "race card" in recent elections by pursuing a cynical Southern strategy of exploiting antipathy against minority members among white voters. Notwithstanding the sheer untruthfulness of Clinton's remarks, it's not as if Bill Clinton never played the race card himself in past elections, playing on the irrational fears of poor blacks by demonizing evil KKK stalwart Newt Gingrich as the Grinch who was going to eliminate Social Security and take away minority members' welfare checks. In his recent column, Mugger predicted that Bill Clinton will disappear from the American political scene in 2003. Of course, this whimsical New Year's prediction is simply wishful thinking. The empty shell that is the real Bill Clinton would simply implode if he couldn't schmooze worshipful gatherings of gullible rich admirers around the world, or preen before the TV news cameras. The only way he's going to disappear from public life in 2003 is if he's thrown in the slammer for his many past crimes, as he well should be.

He can write "twait" or "tawt" and still have a shot at heaven. A guy with a high IQ is always going to buy into a religion that has specific rules about twat. What religion is that, Gomer?

Does he think the government is collecting the fee, making it a tax? I don't get it. What the poor yokel doesn't understand is that in free-market capitalism I'm allowed to riffle through my stack of unused credit cards and find one that doesn't charge a conversion fee/usage tax/whatever. I don't just have to sit and moan about how the nurseryman is shortstaking me. I think a lot of the reason that rubes are so uncomfortable when they get beyond the barnyard is that they don't understand half of what they need to know, and they mistake the other half for the first half. At least that's what I observe in Glint, although addmittedly he's not a huge sample.

Now just a minute there, or two. Let's look at this thing scientifically. Let's say that there is a full moon that occurs the day before the March 21 Equinox. And let's say that the Equinox is on a Sunday. Thus the Paschall Moon will occur one synodic month afte the previous full moon, which should be on Sunday, April 18. That would make Easter fall on April 25. This means that Ash Wednesday would have to fall on Wednesday, March 10. Yep, Carnival can never go past Wednesday, March 10 of any year.

Travel agencies with currency exchange desks offer attractive rates, followed closely by major banks like Banco do Brasil or Citibank. Luxury hotels have an exchange desk, most times offering offensively low rates. However, they do offer the rube the comfort of being inside the hotel bubble. Do not exchange cash with strangers in the streets. In fact, rubes should avoid the streets entirely.

To get rid of traveler's checks a rube may have to go to a Citibank or AmEx American Express branch. Other banks charge a flat rate of US$20 to exchange your checks. The rube will probably end up trading in more than he had planned, only to avoid paying the fee again. The rube will be stuck with a stash of Brazilian cash, and there goes his rube paranoia factor flashing like the neon sign down at the doughnut shop back in Pigville.

You're just a guy from Nebraska who has been on some astronomy tours and maybe read a guide-book or two. If that were the most shameful part of being a rube, you'd be home free. Nobody expects you to know how to behave or how to get a good price in somebody else's country, and nobody cares if you are not sophisticated. Learn to live with it, guy, and carry on. Get over it.

My two cents are: Your credit card company will convert the charge to U.S. dollars before it appears on your statement. Most credit card companies exchange money at rates which are generally more favorable than the rates you would get on your own. The currency conversion may take place days after your purchase, depending on when the merchant submits the charge to your credit card company and when it is processed. It's possible that the exchange rate could be less favorable at that time or it could be better. Most credit card issuers charge a currency conversion fee (similar to the fee you may pay when you buy traveler's checks) that may be added to your bill with each foreign purchase.

My two cents are: That's interesting, about the Visa receipt in $, and no conversion fee. So what I do is let, say, a restaurant or a street vendor decide what the price is in dollars, according to each man's idea of a nifty rate? That's pretty cool, Glint, sounds like the way to really save money on those conversion fees. Much better than using a card that doesn't have a conversion fee.

The Sears card has no annual fee, a thirty-day grace period, and no foreign echange charge, so I fired it up. There's the usual charge for cash withdrawal, bit it's still way better than any exchange rate you're going to get at the money office or in the black market.

My two cents are: January 24, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon is preparing to launch the largest air war in military history in the opening stages of an assault on Iraq, flying as many as 1,500 missions a day to decimate the pillars of Saddam Hussein's power, according to military officials. The Air Force and Navy are assembling a force of 500 to 700 aircraft in the Persian Gulf region equipped with state-of-the art smart bombs and secret new weaponry in preparation for an intense and devastating series of strikes on Saddam Hussein's military that is expected to last for about a week, according to Pentagon officials. Air Force documents recently made public indicate that preparations are under way to fly as many as 1,500 sorties a day during the opening phases of the air war. A sortie is a takeoff and landing, and this means many pilots will be flying back and forth from their bases to Iraq on bombing runs three times a day, said Tim Brown, a former Air Force official now with the defense think tank Globalsecurity.org. "It's looking like this will be the most lethal and most precise air war in military history," said Loren Thompson, an analyst with the Lexington Institute, a defense think tank that works closely with the Pentagon and defense contractors.

My two cents are: "...Ritter acknowledged his June 2001 arrest in appearances on television on Wednesday night. Broadcast reports at the time and recent newspaper reports have indicated he was caught in an Internet sex sting, something Ritter did not admit. At the time of the arrest, NBC station WNYT-TV of Albany reported that William Scott Ritter Jr. -- Ritter's full name -- was charged with trying to lure a 16-year-old girl to a restaurant. The girl turned out to be an undercover police officer. WNYT broadcast Ritter's mug shot provided by the police but did not make the connection to his role as the chief U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq during most of the 1990s. He was charged with attempted endangerment of a child, a misdemeanor that carries up to 90 days in jail, according to The Times Union of Albany. The case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, meaning if he stayed out of trouble for six months, the charges would disappear and the file be sealed. When the story initially surfaced Saturday in The Daily Gazette of Schenectady, Ritter told a reporter, 'Sorry, you must have the wrong person.'"

How many hundred sets of captive ears at bus stops and in elevators and trying to soak up some suds in bar-rooms do you think have heard or are going to hear about Glint's noble stand when the country was in real trouble? And every now and then, like nuggets of gold glistening under the overturned stones, there will be a tight-assed old lady of a retired bank branch manager who will gape appreciatively and make it all worth it. Big freaking mystery.

My two cents are: Sometimes, once in a while, Glint posts something that actually is kind of funny. You've got to wonder, though, just why he's so obsessed with this Clinton business and why he finds it so funny. Sometimes I get the feeling he posts all this dreck because he figures he's giving the needle to those who supported Clinton when the jackals were in full frenzy. Like, reminding us that Clinton did naughty things must shame us or something. Or maybe, he's worried everybody will forget without his help. Or everybody is TRYING to forget about Starr, Hyde, Livingston, Burton and all the other deacons of the Republican Church. What I do, is check the short posts out for wit and it's just never there. So, maybe Glint can answer the question. Why, Glint, why? What's your point?

My two cents are:

Have been thinking of ways in which to use an intern or research ass. should a suitable candidate be uncovered. One area of special interest for me would be scanning full moon in search of a black hole to analyze and for probing. When exploring earth's own moon, the Apollo astronauts erected packaged arrays of experiments. They drilled holes down which they shoved sensitive seismic sensors. They also left instruments to examine the lunar environment, the solar atmosphere, and for seeking out possible forms of life. Likewise, I would deploy my own biological package after careful drilling. With a properly prepared staff the mission should be smooth and successful. Not at all like the 1990's projectile launched during the Clinton administration which crash-landed on a blue planet, splattering and scattering its contents useslessly on the surface. [That disaster led to an investigation which uncovered lies on the part of project management who had denied the disaster under oath.] But now one must turn and look at the future. After all, the goal of science is to satisfy man's curiosity with nature's wonders. - Friday, January 24, 2003 at 09:36:39 (EST)

As it turned out, I became kind of a scholastic fuck up and barely got a BA after 6 long years or cutting classes and not doing any work. When I was in my 20s I took an IQ test and it came out 121. Later it was 135 or something. I think I could score about 160 if I gave it my all and it was the right test. I always tested well and it helped me become an "underachiever" whatever the fuck that is.

The people who are particularly impressed with raw IQ-style intelligence seem almost always to be the moderately bright folks, maybe in the top 5% zone but sometimes down toward the 55% or so like Pete on a calm day. I don't know why it is-- maybe because their modest test-taking attainments give them the taste for even more glory. These people are often more productive and well adjusted than really smart people, although that doesn't fit anyone on this page, I'll admit. Point is, I believe that Glint makes the top 5% on this or that test oriented toward his cultural zone-- geesh, look at any 20 people and you'd expect at least one of them to rise up to the level of gourd-squasher, the level of Glintness. I guess what I'm trying to tell you sort-of-smart folks is, don't worry about it-- you aren't missing anything but being smarter than the next guy.

My two cents are: A combination of three chemicals given to Gulf War troops to protect against diseases and nerve gas may have damaged the soldiers' testes and reduced their sperm production. That's the contention of a new Duke University study, published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, that showed the chemicals caused extensive testicluar cell degeneration in the testes of laboratory rats. Rat testicals that were exposed to the chemicals suffered extensive damage including severe deterioration in testicular structure and sperm production. Researchers treated the rats' testicles with the insect repellant DEET. The rats showed no outward signs of ailments. But under a microscope, the testicular damage could clearly be seen. As a result cases of testicle damage among soldiers could have been overlooked. "In the real-life situation, veterans came back and looked normal, and the only way to tell damage was for me to look closely at their testes," Mohamed B. Abou-Donia, a Duke pharmacologist and the study's lead researcher said.

My two cents are: Welcome to the Muscle Beach Party A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL In the end the Bush Cartel is banking on making the kind of impression on the world that a thug makes with a baseball bat on a car. It's all about image and firepower. It's how the playground bully establishes himself. Pick the weakest guy in the school -- the one nobody likes much anyway -- and beat the living daylights out of him. Keep all the kids nervous and on edge. Let them think that you are a little bit mad and might just beat up on them for the fun of it. Tell them that you will protect them from the gang that lives in the next neighborhood in return for their loyalty. Make an example of anyone who challenges your leadership by denouncing them and bloodying them up. Establish a system of stool pigeons. Rummage through lockers, at your will, for any signs of betrayal. Issue warnings from time-to-time about how you have information that the other gang has plans to rape your mothers and sisters, and lay waste to your homes -- and that is why you need to trust in the playground bully from your school, because he will protect your mothers and sisters from the gang that few have ever actually encountered. It's governance by brazen muscle power, by unfailing commitment to picking a target to destroy as an example of your ruthlessness, and your will to use any means necessary to establish and preserve your leadership. And if your attack is successful, you will enjoy the spoils of war -- the second largest oil reserves in the world. This is all the better, because you double up your goal of displaying raw, harsh military power, by combining it with additional natural resources that reinforce your dominance. You will be sitting on top of the world, masters of the universe, controlling almost everything on the Monopoly board. And to accomplish this goal, you never blink, you never apologize, you never let facts get in the way of your mission. You remain steadfast and focused. Getting distracted by truth and ethics is a sign of weakness. And weakness is something you can smell and feel in a man. It was the weak ones that lost the Vietnam War, the bullies argue. It didn't matter if the U.S. was right or wrong. It didn't matter if innocent people were massacred right and left. It didn't matter that a country like Cambodia was turned over to the Khmer Rouge who left in their wake hundreds of thousands dead. No, none of that matters to the bully. To the bully, all that matters is winning, winning at all cost, even if the reasons for starting the war no longer matter. The bully knows that if he looks back, allows emotion or conscience to throw him off course, the playground children will overthrow him one day when his back is turned. And he needs an enemy to be the phantom source of fear that is the foundation of his reign. It is all about forging ahead, picking a target that meets your goals and then building a case, whatever the facts, and then going in for the kill. Keep your eye on the prize. Of course, America was supposed to be about something different. It was supposed to be about democracy. It was supposed to be about one person, one vote. It was supposed to be about a nation that used the ballot box to elect its officials, not partisan judicial appointments. It was supposed to be a country with a thriving two party system -- and not a two party system where one party instills fear in the nation and the leaders of the other party just stand in fear. It was supposed to be about being a model of democracy, ethics and world citizenship. The problem with being a bully is that a bully never really has any friends. And one day one of the children in the playground, who is a little smarter and a little bigger, punches out the bully and replaces him -- and no one steps into help, because the bully has governed by fear, not by friendship. The men who led America's revolution feared and resented King George. And so it is today. The citizens of America are onlookers -- and possibly victims -- of two bullies playing a game of chicken. One bully, our modern King George, thinks he's got the biggest guns, and that the other bully is a pushover. The other bully is just a mad tyrant and is used to not blinking first. It makes for volatile possibilities in an age of weapons of mass destruction. Our King George, a man who was too cowardly to serve in Vietnam but supported the war and let others die, is convinced he's a tougher hombre than that sadist Saddam. It's a match-up that you wish you could leave to the two of them to resolve off in a corner, although George one-on-one with Saddam wouldn't last a minute. Our King George is a pampered little pup who is all talk and no cattle in a one-on-one fight. His confidence lies in this nation's dazzling and deadly military technology and a volunteer army that is serving as cannon fodder for his imperial visions. Soldiers come and go, but dynasties last forever. Since September 11th, BuzzFlash has argued that the conduct of the Bush Cartel's war on terror was something that needed to be addressed as part of a national discussion. In the daily barrage of propaganda, it is hard to keep focused on the fact that our lives are really at stake. And if our lives and the lives of our loved ones are on the line, we have a right to have input as to what strategy best preserves this wonderful nation and the lives of those who live in it. There are bad men in the world like Saddam Hussein -- and there are many ways of dealing with them. But resolving the Iraqi situation, short of war, is not what is on the mind of the Bush cartel. They need someone to make an example of, and Saddam is their guy. France and Germany now realize that if they let King George bully his way into a war with Iraq, there will be no stopping him. The emerging power of Europe would be threatened by an unprecedented assertion of American domination, largely for the purpose of form meeting function: using military might to intimidate the rest of the world. That is how King George's advisors -- and the King himself -- see this war: as the first step in asserting a new American hegemony -- and stealing the second largest oil reserves in the process. Britain, with the second largest number of oil companies in the world, is America's only unfaltering major league ally. Let's restate that: Britain is actually a faltering ally (only 10% of the British population support an attack on Iraq without the approval of the U.N., according to the latest poll). It is only Tony Blair's blind "oil" allegiance that keeps Britain by King George's side, a historical irony if there ever was one. This war is about the manner in which nations conduct themselves. The bullies that are running this country now believe that they are playing football on a concrete field without padding and with no referees. The Democratic leadership, always a bit naive, think that America is still being run like a baseball game, with close team cooperation, mutual respect and four impartial umpires to enforce the rules. Wake up Democratic leaders, the Republicans own the umpires. Ethics don't matter to the King George administration. Honesty doesn't matter to the King George Administration. Following the law doesn't matter to the King George administration. Respecting constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties doesn't matter to the King George Administration. Abiding by treaties doesn't matter to the King George administration. All that matters is muscling your way to victory. All that matters is winning and expanding one's power base and riches. For this, we are going to war?

My two cents are: BUSH FATIGUE SETS IN NATION WEARY OF WAR, ECONOMIC STRIFE BUSH AT 54% IN NEW WSJ/NBC POLL Bush barely pulls a majority approval rating now. That's practically unheard of in "wartime," isn't it? Still, the media whores are, as always, way behind the reality curve. Howard Kurtz insists on describing Bush's ratings as "just shy of stratospheric." No, Howie. They're "just shy of the 40%s." They're "just 20 points shy of President Clinton's the day after he was 'impeached'." But they're not "just shy of stratospheric." Bush is well on the road toward securing his proper historical legacy as one-illicit-term wonder footnote. Public Confidence in Bush Rapidly Eroding President Bush�s popularity ratings � once among the highest of any president in the past 60 years � are eroding across the board, according to a new NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll. Bush is losing ground in several key areas, including foreign policy, the economy and his handling of the war on terrorism. And as the escalation of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf continues, the poll finds a growing number of Americans oppose military action to remove Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from power.

My two cents are:

Democrats Don't Have The Constitution For Racial Equality January 22, 2003 ALL THE BLATHER about the University of Michigan race discrimination case has at least proved one thing: The Supreme Court's abandonment of legal reasoning has taken the public by storm! Now everyone treats constitutional law as if it is an ongoing referendum about various public policy issues. Pundits simply assume state colleges are allowed to create a racial stew. It's just a question of whether this or that system is desirable as a public policy matter. We hear about stigmas, legacies, SAT scores, athletes � all of which have nothing to do with the Constitution. Even the wackiest Supreme Court rulings always make a big show of pretending to consult the Constitution before announcing, for example, that Christmas displays must have a particular ratio of reindeer to virgins. I don't know whom the Supreme Court thought it was fooling, but Americans were not fooled. The Growing Constitution has grown into a collection of primal urges, devoid of law. People believe their wild irrational appetites should find expression in Supreme Court opinions. We await Supreme Court rulings like primitives waiting for a wart healer's cure. Liberals love this system of pretend-law, because it allows them to get away with murder � sometimes literally, as in Roe v. Wade. Like everyone else in the universe, I too have strong opinions about how universities should run their admissions systems. But there is no Ann's Opinion Clause in the Constitution. There is, however, an Equal Protection Clause. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits states from discriminating on the basis of race. It says: Nor shall any state "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." That amendment grew out of the Republicans' first big dust-up with the Democrats over race � the Civil War. Then, as now, Democrats demanded the right to discriminate on the basis of race. The 14th Amendment sternly informed Democrats that they would have to stop. Democrats dropped slavery but desperately clung to state-sanctioned race discrimination for another hundred years. It took a Supreme Court ruling in 1954 and a Republican president sending in the National Guard to force Democrats to stop their infernal race discrimination. In the 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court held that the Equal Protection Clause prohibited the states from engaging in race discrimination in education. Democrats responded with massive resistance. Ten years later, Congress passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, expanding upon the nondiscrimination principle of the Equal Protection Clause. Among other things, the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits any institution that receives federal funds � i.e., Harvard � from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin. Though only a bare majority of Democrats voted for the act, it seemed as if the Democrats were finally going to mend their ways and truly embrace a color-blind society. Alas, they were just resting up for the next battle. After taking a few years off, the Democrats got back into race discrimination in a big way. They apparently thought they could fool us by switching which race they thought should be discriminated against. It must be something in Democratic genes. They just love race discrimination. So now we have idiots like Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., saying race discrimination is no different than colleges admitting legacies. One difference is � as Terry Eastland famously said � we didn't fight a civil war to stop colleges from giving a preference to the children of alumni. But Biden says colleges shouldn't stop obsessing with race "unless we're going to eliminate it all, all incentives, like, for example, in the case in Michigan everybody is talking about now. You know you get four points if you're a legacy ..." Sure, that's just like getting 20 points for being black. Biden thinks if he gets applause from a student audience, he must have made a legal argument. He seems to imagine he is actually learning law from watching Court TV. His next irrelevant point was: "Give me a break. I mean how many people would get into Harvard, Yale and the rest of these places if their father had not gone?" There's an answer to that! This columnist did the math! On the basis of their SAT scores, 82 percent of legacies admitted to Harvard would have been admitted to Harvard even if they were not legacies. Only 45 percent of blacks admitted to Harvard would have been admitted to Harvard if they were not black. But I've been tricked into arguing a nonissue by Biden's imbecility. If colleges wanted to admit only legacies, or only tuba players, or only people who got astonishingly low SAT scores � to ensure some of their graduates would be U.S. senators one day � the Constitution wouldn't stop them. What the states, including state colleges, cannot do under the Constitution is discriminate on the basis of race. What even private colleges cannot do under federal law � if they accept federal funds � is discriminate on the basis of race. Neither the Constitution nor federal law says anything about discrimination on the basis of SAT scores, legacies or athletic ability. We've had a civil war, a constitutional amendment, a Supreme Court ruling, a National Guard mobilization and a federal civil rights law to try to get the Democrats to stop with the race discrimination. All we can do now is sit back and wait for the wart healers to speak. - Thursday, January 23, 2003 at 13:05:39 (EST)

Gosto muinto do ficar aqui no Brasil. Nice sounds. A nice sounding language. To get the idea, listen to a jazz radio station. They always play a lot of Brazilian vocals. Listen for the ones that sound like elevator music, zero in on the voice sounds.

Tenho fusca, tem um viol�o, so Flamengo y tenho um nega chamada Teresa. I have a Volkswagen and a guitar, I'm Flamengo and have a black lady named Theresa. Teresa being the quintessential brasilera's nom, pronounced nommee. Actually, nega means "nigger", a term of endearment, lucky ydog's not here or he'd get upset. My "boa nega" is my "nigger", my main squeeze, hence tenho um nega chamada Teresa. Flamengo, that's the name of a futebol team, P�l�'s team. Pronounce that one "foochee-bow."

My two cents are: Bring It On Let's Debate Class In America John Moyers is Editor-in-Chief of TomPaine.com. George W. Bush railing against 'class warfare' is like Trent Lott deploring liberals for 'playing the race card.' Lott's recent self-immolation revealed the decades-long conservative hypocrisy that anyone discussing race in America was "playing the race card." Now we understand: All along, it was Lott's team playing the race card in a deliberate effort to lure crypto-Confederates into Republican ranks. And so it is with "class warfare" -- the phrase wielded by conservatives who insist that liberals attempt to motivate a political base by feeding class resentment. The plutocrats posing as patriots forget our founding principles. Thanks to President Bush's latest reward-the-rich tax proposal, we now see that canard for what it is: cover for class-conscious policies that redistribute wealth not downwards but up. It's a slur worthy of Joseph McCarthy, meant to paint its target as Marxist. It distracts the public from real stories about who shares the commonwealth and who gets a handout, a hand up, or a cold shoulder from government. Only the most doctrinaire devotees of supply side theory can defend Bush's recent proposal. It's warmed-over Reaganomics spiced with enough audacity, Bush hopes, to cover the rot. Economists, pols and pundits have panned it -- even conservatives ones. David Broder, in the Jan. 12 Washington Post, quoted "a veteran of the Nixon and Ford administrations and a friend and adviser to many officials in the Reagan and two Bush administrations." The source told Broder, "It may be the least defensible policy ever." With criticism like this, no wonder the president and his defenders have been wielding the "class warfare" charge so liberally and with such spit. I say let's have a full-throated debate about class in America. That's just what the people screaming "class warfare" fear most, so bring it on. A primary text for this debate should be Wealth and Our Commonwealth, an excellent new book by William H. Gates, Sr. and Chuck Collins, with a foreword by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. While building the case for preserving the estate tax -- which Bush & Company, in another fit of class-conscious policymaking, want to abolish -- the authors also reminds us of the red-white-and-blue foundation for progressive taxation. They write: The essence of the American experiment is our collective rejection of European hereditary aristocracy and grotesque inequalities of wealth.... The nation's founders and populace viewed excessive concentrations of wealth as incompatible with the ideals of the new nation. Yet here we are today with leaders who wrap themselves in Old Glory while making every policy favor the most-well-off, shifting the tax burden to low- and middle-income citizens. These plutocrats posing as patriots forget our founding principles. Advocates of progressive taxation need to bolster their basic argument -- the wealthy should pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes because they benefit disproportionately from the national security, orderly marketplace, and social stability the nation provides. The president and his apologists, on the other hand, have successfully made the case that since the rich pay most of the taxes, they should get the most tax relief. For advocates of progressive taxation, it's a target-rich environment. Dollar-for-dollar, it's true -- the rich pay most of the taxes. "But this is not because tax rates have gone up substantially for the rich, but because incomes have gone up much more for the rich than for the average family in the 1980s and 1990s," writes Bernard Wasow in a release from The Century Foundation. "In 2001, the wealthiest one percent earned more than 18 percent of total pretax income and paid 25.1 percent of all federal taxes," Citizens for Tax Justice reports. "By 2010, under the already scheduled Bush tax cuts, the top one percent's share of all federal taxes is slated to fall to 23.9 percent, only slightly above the group's expected share of total income, which will exceed 18.9 percent." In other words, as their slice of the wealth pie grows, the richest Americans' tax burden is not keeping pace -- the more they make, the lower percent of their income they pay in taxes. State and local taxes hit the poor and middle class much harder than the wealthy, according to a study released on January 7 by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. "Nationwide, middle-income families pay almost 10 percent of their earnings in state and local taxes and poor families pay more than 11 percent," the report says. "But the richest people effectively pay only 5.2 percent of their income in state and local taxes." Facts like these invite advocates of progressive taxation to press the cause in public debate and retake ground long ceded to the flattaxers and supplysiders. But first, they should read a column by David Brooks, a reasonable conservative voice among the many shrill, from the Jan. 9 New York Times. Brooks asks, "Why don't more Americans want to distribute more wealth down to people like themselves?" His answer boils down to every American wants to be rich so attacking the rich gets you nowhere. In rendering that conclusion, Brooks outlines the challenge for advocates of progressive taxation. They must understand "that you can run against rich people, but only those who have betrayed the ideal of fair competition. You have to be more hopeful and growth-oriented than your opponent, and you cannot imply that we are a nation tragically and permanently divided by income." All that can be done. The president has overreached. His policies will create a few real winners and many more losers. As they say at the Pentagon, it's a "target-rich environment" -- time to muster facts and history and blow some supply side myths out of the water.

My two cents are: "...Traywick had gone to a local abortion clinic � the Women's Pavilion � at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon... After wandering through stylish, relaxing waiting areas and immaculate operating rooms, he entered a small back room filled with 15 plastic buckets with lids on. Realizing what they must contain, he snatched one of the buckets and made a fast retreat. Enlisting the aid of his wife and a friend to videotape and photograph his opening of the container, Traywick slowly lifted out the contents from the bucket. What he found shocked him to the core. Rather than a tiny fetus as he had expected, what he pulled out appeared to be a full-grown baby, whose head and right arm had been ripped from his body and his brain removed. In his agony, the baby had bitten through his own tongue, no doubt while his head, grasped by forceps, was being literally ripped off his body.....WARNING: THE PHOTO LINKED IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING AND NOT SUITABLE FOR VIEWING BY CHILDREN or overly sensitive adults.

He was charged with grand jury perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with a coverup of his relationship with Lewinsky. The trial began in the Senate on Jan. 7, 1999. A little over a month later, on Feb. 12, Clinton was acquitted. He had kept his job, but his reputation had taken a beating.

My two cents are: History will record that the week of January 12-18, 2003, was the beginning of the end of George W. Bush's presidency. It was the week that Bush abandoned all pretense of being either compassionate or conservative and, instead, revealed himself to be the elitist, right wing extremist that his critics always feared him to be. It will also be known as the week where Bush's actions guaranteed him only a single term in office. First, Bush continued trying to sell another raid on the U.S. Treasury on behalf of the wealthy as an economic stimulus plan. The centerpiece of Bush's proposal is a $364 billion plan to eliminate taxes on stock dividends. The corporate CEOs that financed Bush's 2000 campaign, in anticipation of the passage of this plan by a Republican Congress, are undoubtedly planning to take their entire compensation package next year in the form of stock dividends so that they pay no taxes whatsoever. In the meantime, the average American worker will still suffer through the multiple taxation of payroll taxes with income taxes with sales taxes with property taxes, etc., etc. Next, Bush went on a crusade to appeal to all of the Trent Lott fans out there by filing a brief against the University of Michigan because the school uses race as one of many criteria when considering applicants for law school. Bush's position is simply a thinly veiled ploy to prevent minorities from access to higher education. Indeed, Bush has already accomplished this feat in Texas by pushing the same policy when he was governor there. Now, the law schools in Texas have little to no minority representation. It is the ultimate in hypocrisy for George W. Bush, a man who attained every position he ever held in life by the use of his family connections, to begrudge or prevent anyone from getting additional consideration for any position, whether in academia or the workplace. In fact, I would bet a month's salary that the same minority applicants who would be refused acceptance to the University of Michigan Law School, if the views of the Bush Administration's brief are upheld, have a far better command of the English language than Mr. Bush does! And, finally, Bush made a pitch to overrule states' rights in the area of tort law by capping the amount of recovery in a lawsuit for anyone victimized by a dangerously negligent doctor or hospital. That action must surely please Bush's insurance company campaign contributors, who are currently squeezing America's doctors with unreasonably high malpractice premiums in order to recoup their recent losses in the stock market. Never mind the fact that, in many cases, the $250,000 cap that Bush is seeking would not be enough to cover the legal and miscellaneous expenses necessary for the average person to take on these giant hospitals and insurance companies in a lawsuit. And what is the effect that these disgusting policies are having on Mr. Bush's public standing? Well, not even all of Mr. Bush's Middle Eastern saber-rattling is preventing his poll numbers from tumbling. Bush's favorability rating dropped to 58 percent in the most recent CNN/Gallup poll. That figure is 15 points lower than President Clinton's favorability rating on the day he was impeached. And, furthermore, that same poll showed that a miniscule 36 percent of Americans plan to vote for Bush in 2004. I am sure that figure must be giving Karl Rove a lot of sleepless nights! So, in one week, Bush has shown that he has no solutions to the economic mess our country is experiencing, no sensitivity to the hardships and inequities minorities face while growing up in America, and no compassion for people who are victimized due to incompetent health care. In other words, Bush talks tough to the world while showing complete indifference to the struggles and problems of the average American. Sound familiar? One-term presidencies must run in the family.

My two cents are: OK, this is how it is, I'm obsessed with my kid's transvestite friend, and can't stop making "jokes" about me and him. I'm against abortions and pro-unwanted children, which explains why I refer derisively to my black-clad Goth teen as "Poe." I can't wring Clinton's jism out of my mind, which sorta explains the thing about wanting to meet Brenda. So what? Bite me.

Wade decision say they have their first chance in years to put a dent in abortion rights now that sexually imbecilic and largely misogynistic Republicans control the House, Senate and the White House, mostly because they're all a bunch of sniveling guilt-ridden missionary-position closet chronic National Geographic masturbators who really really hate your or any woman's ability to think for herself and control her own reproductive abilities and who would love nothing more than to cram their adorable uptight little interpretation of life and sex and God down everyone's throat, same as it ever was, but now just more dangerous and insipid and an outright slap in the face to divine self-realized feminine power. But that's just an opinion. "We will pass the first significant pro-life legislation actually limiting abortions in 30 years," whined Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. and a leading abortion foe, gosh what a surprise, a white misogynist Republican from Kansas leading the fight against women and sexuality, as hordes of angry leeches on meth gnawed at the hard tiny shriveled raisin-like pustule that once was Brownback's soul.

My two cents are: The U.S. abortion rate dropped 11 percent between 1994 and 2000, from about 24 abortions for every 1,000 women of childbearing ago to 21. The rate among girls aged 15-28 dropped 39 percent, from 24 abortions per 1,000 to 15. However, there has been a sharp increase in abortions among very poor women, especially those on Medicaid. For women below the poverty line, the abortion rate rose 25 percent. Unfortunately abortion remains a common experience among women in the U.S., it was also reported that there were 1.31 million abortions in the U.S. in 2000, compared to 1.42 million in 1994 and 1.56 million in 1987.

My two cents are:

A Malediction 

The judges sat outside the law 
And in their pride no evil saw 
In setting teeth to Satan's jaw 
And feeding him our children 

A curse, a curse 
The law it cries 
A curse, a curse 
On mankind's pride 
A curse on him 
Who would deny 
God's image in mankind 

Torn from out their mother's womb 
Denied the sky - denied a tomb 
Conceived in lust to their own ruin 
A sacrifice to pleasure 

When viewed in terms of cost and ease 
An unborn child is a disease 
A holocaust seen fit to please 
Our own convenience 

A curse, a curse 
The blood cries out 
A curse, a curse 
The heavens shout 
A curse on him 
Who dares to flout 
God's image in mankind 

The doctors with their blood-red hands 
Who love their money more than man 
With greed their god they lay their plans - 
The butchers of mankind 

Oh rid us of this evil, Lord 
And turn our hearts by cross or sword 
Our nation cannot long afford 
To live beneath Your anger 

A curse, a curse 
Upon their heads 
Oh save them, Lord 
Or slay them dead 
And fill our country 
With Your dread 
And turn away Your anger 
Oh turn away Your anger 

Lord have mercy. 
Christ have mercy.

My two cents are: Kennedy Urges Dems to Stand Up to Bush Tue Jan 21, 3:13 PM ET Add Politics - U. S. Congress to My Yahoo! By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy on Tuesday blamed Democratic losses in last year's election on a failure to stand up to a popular president, accusing the Bush administration of promoting policies that divide America and its allies. "The lesson of 2002 is clear," the Massachusetts senator said in a speech to the National Press Club. "We will not succeed if we fail to stand up and speak out." Kennedy accused President Bush (news - web sites) of pursuing war in Iraq while a more imminent threat exists in North Korea (news - web sites), violating rights of immigrants in the name of homeland security and failing to prepare for future terrorist attacks. Bush's tax cut plan only benefits the wealthy, he said, while accusing the administration of failing to respond to spending needed to improve health care and education for all Americans. "The last thing we need is policies that divide us at home by race or riches," Kennedy said. "The ideals of America are not realized but denied by a relentless ideology of tax giveaways for the few � and then even more tax giveaways for the few." Kennedy suggested a compromise with Bush on tax cuts, however. Congress should use 10-year budget estimates to determine how much America can afford to spend, then give half to Bush's priorities � including cuts already passed into law � and half to education, health care, and other Democratic priorities, the senator said. "Let me say plainly to my fellow Democrats � if we cannot achieve a fair and fiscally responsible compromise, there is no assured political safety in just going along with President Bush," Kennedy argued. "Not a single Senate Democrat who voted against the Bush 2001 tax cut was defeated." Kennedy called for spending on more teacher training, smaller class size, increased college financial aid and a Medicare prescription drug benefit. He said Congress should require employers to provide health care for all workers and pass hate-crimes legislation and laws protecting gays from discrimination in the workplace. Kennedy said Bush deserved credit for his leadership after the Sept. 11 attacks and in the early months of the fight against al-Qaida. But he said since then "we squandered too much of the good will of the world community because we seemed so intent on immediate, unilateral war with Iraq." "I continue to be convinced that this is the wrong war at the wrong time," he said. "The threat from Iraq is not imminent, and it will distract America from the two more immediate threats to our security � the clear and present danger of terrorism and the crisis with North Korea."

After all, it was Hezbollah who killed all those Ronald Reagan trip-wire Marines. Some of us have always wondered why that didn't trip the wire-- why America didn't take out Hezbollah or at least try to put a hurt on them. Oh, sure, you can always blame it on Reagan, he was President after all, but I still think the rest of the country took the cue too quickly and punked out along with old Bonzo. Or it may be just another example of your basic Republican cowardice and impotence in the face of a real threat.

My two cents are: Back in 1997, in the years of the Clinton administration, Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and a bunch of other right-wing men � most involved in the oil business � created the Project for the New American Century, a lobby group demanding "regime change" in Iraq. In a 1998 letter to President Clinton, they called for the removal of Saddam from power. In a letter to Newt Gingrich, who was then Speaker of the House, they wrote that "we should establish and maintain a strong US military presence in the region, and be prepared to use that force to protect our vital interests [sic] in the Gulf � and, if necessary, to help remove Saddam from power". The signatories of one or both letters included Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, now Rumsfeld's Pentagon deputy, John Bolton, now under-secretary of state for arms control, and Richard Armitage, Colin Powell's under-secretary at the State Department � who called last year for America to take up its "blood debt" with the Lebanese Hizbollah. They also included Richard Perle, a former assistant secretary of defence, currently chairman of the defence science board, and Zalmay Khalilzad, the former Unocal Corporation oil industry consultant who became US special envoy to Afghanistan � where Unocal tried to cut a deal with the Taliban for a gas pipeline across Afghan territory � and who now, miracle of miracles, has been appointed a special Bush official for � you guessed it � Iraq. The signatories also included our old friend Elliott Abrams, one of the most pro-Sharon of pro-Israeli US officials, who was convicted for his part in the Iran-Contra scandal. Abrams it was who compared Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon � held "personally responsible" by an Israeli commission for the slaughter of 1,700 Palestinian civilians in the 1982 Sabra and Chatila massacre � to (wait for it) Winston Churchill. So this forthcoming war � the whole shooting match, along with that concern for "vital interests" (ie oil) in the Gulf � was concocted five years ago, by men like Cheney and Khalilzad who were oil men to their manicured fingertips.

My two cents are:

Democrats Beat The Bushes For Another Terrorist Attack January 15, 2003 BACK BEFORE the election, Democrats were indignant that President Bush was making them vote on an important issue of national security in an election year. Apparently, they got over their scruples. By the end of the year, every prospective Democratic presidential candidate was leering over the prospect of another terrorist attack to use as political fodder against Bush. Assailing Bush for not doing enough to prevent terrorism evidently won out over their other ideas for attacking Bush, such as Whitewater, sexual harassment and presidential pardons. Leading the way was Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., who said: "It's time for us, without regard to party, to say what every American knows � Washington is not doing enough to make America safe." Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said the Bush administration had failed to make "the preparations necessary to properly deal with an obvious problem of growing terror and the threat at home." Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., said: "This administration has been slow and inadequate in the response to the terrorist threat here at home." Has there been another terrorist attack I'm unaware of? There was the shooting at the El Al counter at the Los Angeles airport and the sniper attacks. Are Democrats claiming they could have done a better job? They won't even admit that the perpetrators of those attacks were Muslims. So by liberals' count, there hasn't been a single act of domestic terrorism since 9-11. The Democrats must have been anticipating another terrorist attack in late December and wanted their warnings duly placed on the record. The Bush administration has to give these knuckleheads regular briefings on national security. How Clintonian to use the threat of a terrorist incident for political advantage. According to The New York Times, Clinton "is in regular touch with some of the presidential contenders, particularly Mr. Edwards." To give credit where credit is due, Edwards boasted he had decided to attack Bush on domestic security all on his own. This is a country virtually designed for terrorist attacks and yet there has not been a second major terrorist act since 9-11. We are a big multicultural society full of densely packed cities with large foreign-born populations and lots of illegal immigrants. Angry primitives are relentlessly staging raids on our border, which is defended by a hapless bunch of incompetents at the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani used to brag about refusing to cooperate with the INS in turning over illegal immigrants. In Manhattan, he was considered an avenging law-and-order brute. Giuliani's successor, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, believes the greatest threat to public safety comes from passive smoke. Refusing to conceptualize the idea that terrorists are often foreign-born, liberals take umbrage at the idea of protecting the country at the point of its greatest vulnerability. Welcoming illegal immigrants is treated like a friendly neighbor program. Democrats are reduced to making a series of baseless charges while ignoring the real issues because the real issues would be a threat to their voter base. The nation's political ethos demands that we pretend we don't suspect Egyptian immigrant Hesham Mohamed Hadayet any more than Al Gore. The rights of the accused trump the rights of the law-abiding. Special-interest groups defend the right of predators to move freely in the general population. In New York City, you can even rape and brutalize a jogger in Central Park and be declared "innocent" a decade later if the district attorney happens to be angling for a good obituary in The New York Times. It's safe to assume Attorney General John Ashcroft isn't getting a lot of help. But he has calmly persisted in the face of caterwauling idiots. The hundreds � hundreds � of terrorist attacks the Bush administration has prevented since 9-11 don't make headlines. In a small news item last week, the government announced in a legal brief that interrogations of enemy combatants have "helped to thwart an estimated 100 or more attacks against the United States and its interests since Sept. 11, 2001." The Department of Justice has disrupted terrorist cells in Buffalo, Portland and Detroit. It has won convictions or guilty pleas from about 100 people in terrorism-related crimes. Almost 500 potential terrorists have been deported. The arrest of a former roommate of two 9-11 hijackers led to 40 more arrests in a visa fraud scheme. Over 200 airport workers in the Washington, D.C., New York City and Dallas airports have been arrested for document and immigration fraud. At the Dallas and Newark airports, scores of workers were charged with alarming schemes to obtain access to high-security areas of the airports. The war isn't over, and it won't be until the malarial swamps are completely drained � something else the Democrats oppose. But whatever happens tomorrow or the next day, it is worth reflecting on the fact that there hasn't been anything approaching the 9-11 attack for 16 months now. That's not a bet many people would have taken on Sept. 12, 2001 - Tuesday, January 21, 2003 at 14:01:58 (EST)

My two cents are: WASHINGTON �� The Bush administration's point person for telecommunications policy allowed wireless phone company lobbyists to help pay for a private reception at her home, and then 10 days later urged a policy change that benefited their industry, according to documents and interviews. Assistant Commerce Secretary Nancy Victory said she regards the lobbyists as personal friends, and cleared the arrangement in advance with her department's ethics office. She did not report the October 2001 party as a gift on her government ethics disclosure form. "My friends paid for this party out of their personal money," Victory said in an interview last week with The Associated Press. Victory added she believed it was "ridiculous" to draw a connection between the party and her letter 10 days later to the Federal Communications Commission urging an immediate end to a decade-old restriction on wireless spectrum.

Anonymous.
- Tuesday, January 21, 2003 at 03:25:45 (EST)

My two cents are: Tabarak, also known as Abu Omar, is respected even more because he helped bin Laden escape, the official said. The ploy involving the satellite phone is widely known and celebrated among the prisoners at the military prison, now called Camp Delta. In the Tora Bora battle, U.S. B-52 bombers and attack helicopters, together with pro-Western Afghans and U.S. Special Forces troops, assaulted the high-altitude cave complexes where al Qaeda fighters had fled in November 2001. U.S. officials reported at the time that they believed bin Laden was in Tora Bora; by some accounts, his voice was heard on an intercepted radio transmission there. Some military analysts argue that by relying heavily on Afghan allies in the battle, U.S. forces missed one of their best opportunities to capture the al Qaeda leader. When Tabarak was detained, U.S. officials at first didn't realize exactly who they had, despite Tabarak's possession of the satellite phone, according to Moroccan officials. Unlike other captured senior officials, who were taken to secret locations for interrogation by the CIA, Tabarak was sent to Guantanamo Bay with dozens of other captives. U.S. intelligence officials sent a mug shot of Tabarak, and numerous other captives, to cooperating intelligence agencies around the world, and the Moroccans immediately identified him, officials here said. Tabarak's dedication to his cause has continued at Guantanamo Bay, where he has steadfastly refused to cooperate with the U.S. interrogators, insisting as he did at the time of his capture that he is a textile trader who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. "He's very solid," said the official, noting that despite his somewhat frail physique, Tabarak is disciplined and tough-minded. U.S. and Moroccan officials have since established his role by examining the phone and interviews with other captives, including a Moroccan who moved with Tabarak as American forces approached.

My two cents are: A Stirring in the Nation largely missing ingredient in the nascent debate about invading Iraq showed up on the streets of major cities over the weekend as crowds of peaceable protesters marched in a demand to be heard. They represented what appears to be a large segment of the American public that remains unconvinced that the Iraqi threat warrants the use of military force at this juncture. Denouncing the war plan as an administration id�e fixe that will undermine America's standing in the world, stir unrest in the Mideast and damage the American economy, the protesters in Washington massed on Saturday for what police described as the largest antiwar rally at the Capitol since the Vietnam era. It was impressive for the obvious mainstream roots of the marchers � from young college students to grayheads with vivid protest memories of the 60's. They gathered from near and far by the tens of thousands, galvanized by the possibility that President Bush will soon order American forces to attack Iraq even without the approval of the United Nations Security Council. Mr. Bush and his war cabinet would be wise to see the demonstrators as a clear sign that noticeable numbers of Americans no longer feel obliged to salute the administration's plans because of the shock of Sept. 11 and that many harbor serious doubts about his march toward war. The protesters are raising some nuanced questions in the name of patriotism about the premises, cost and aftermath of the war the president is contemplating. Millions of Americans who did not march share the concerns and have yet to hear Mr. Bush make a persuasive case that combat operations are the only way to respond to Saddam Hussein. Other protests will be emphasizing civil disobedience in the name of Martin Luther King Jr. But any graphic moments to come of confrontation and arrest should be seen in the far broader context of the Capitol scene: peaceable throngs of mainstream Americans came forward demanding more of a dialogue from political leaders. Mr. Bush and his aides, to their credit, welcomed the demonstrations as a healthy manifestation of American democracy at work. We hope that spirit will endure in the weeks ahead if differences deepen and a noisier antiwar movement develops. These protests are the tip of a far broader sense of concern and lack of confidence in the path to war that seems to lie ahead.

Too bad he picked a tough guy to bully-- Saddam Hussein doesn't have a whole lot to do with prep school and Texas-Kennebunkport high society. Wonder what the troglos think about trying to let Saddam off the hook, not trying him, greasing his ass with millions.... Problem is, Saddam is probably going to tell the Snipper to fuck himself. He knows a bandy-legged punk when he sees one. It reminds me of the poor wimp talking to Pootie-poot about the college pranks of his youth, while Pootie kept his mouth shut about what he was doing for the KGB during those carefree years.

My two cents are: A first round of balloting in October elected members of Cuba's municipal assemblies. The other half include many internationally known figures, such as Juan Miguel Gonzalez, father of Elian, the Cuban boy at the heart of the international child custody battle in 2000 and folk singer Silvio Rodriguez.

My two cents are: Much as I like to bitch and moan about Glint, I don't think his girly-posts have anything to do with the loading speed. I figure this thing loads from the front-- otherwise it couldn't possibly work even with the old-fashioned cut-and-paste the boys used to glory in. So let up on Glit, especially the moron who posted "but in the end the slow down amy need quicker archiving," as if archiving would speed things up. It's more interesting to me to try to figure out what the bitching and whining about MLK Day is for. It almost sounds as if the poor troglos think that a Negro's birthday as a holiday is no holiday for them at all, just a coddling of the black man. I know, I know, it sounds insanely stupid, but it's all I could come up with. If anyone else knows why we get all the high-class satire about Penguin Day and Cheese Day, please clue me in.

Until fairly recently, you were doing a pretty good job of it. Things have changed and you're going to have to ratchet things up a tad. See, with all these big silly files you dig so much, this page fills up faster. That means more frequent archiving for you unless you want to feel more of Pete's wrath.

My two cents are: I sure could go along with you. Posting only a link to a image, news article or sound byte would be more efficient than posting the data itself inline. The problem is this. Suppose that someone agrees to your pittiful beg. They don't post inline. Instead they go through all the trouble of posting simply a link to a pic, news article, or sound byte. You can rest easy because you can verify compliance through simple inspection. You see with your eyes that a link was posted, not a pic or an article or a sound byte. One click verifies that the link is indeed valid and fulfils the tag line blurb. The rub is, how does the poster very that the postee will actually click on said links and not just skip over and blurt without absorbing the useful information ponited to? What is trust without verification?<> Just look at the bleat below, regarding getting the pickle jar up to date.

My two cents are: Judging from the number he was hornswoggled into believing his "marriage penalty" is the poor bastard and his wife together aren't making any more than $100K. This is exactly the lower middle-class feller that Snippy is screwing with his tax scheme and his gutting of the economy. The poor sap picks up one or one and a half $K on taxes, while all services from education to local policing is cut. He's got to pay more for the girls' schooling, he's got to commute on deteriorating roads, his house is in more danger of burning down because there's no aid to the volunteer F.D. Even though he's getting less, his state taxes inevitably go up, regressive against him, sales tax and property tax and license and user fees. I'ts the lower middle-class family like Glint's, the $100K household, that's going to feel this worst. The poor fool already gets a $400 exclusion on any dividends he doesn't have sheltered. He's a slightly more sophisticated version of MK. Probably have to shelve those dreams Atlantic City next summer, at least until the Republicans finish emptying the trough and the Democrats come in to put things back on an even keel.

Everyone else who has showed up at this site, with the exception of Jeremiah, seems to be doing better than Glimpse. Even old Pete, if you can take his bragging seriously, has rain gutters and plenty of tread on his tires.

My two cents are: War in Iraq is inevitable. That there would be war was decided by North American planners in the mid-1920s. That it would be in Iraq was decided much more recently. The architects of this war were not military planners but town planners. War is inevitable not because of weapons of mass destruction, as claimed by the political right, nor because of western imperialism, as claimed by the left. The cause of this war, and probably the one that will follow, is car dependence. The US has paved itself into a corner. Its physical and economic infrastructure is so highly car dependent that the US is pathologically addicted to oil. Without billions of barrels of precious black sludge being pumped into the veins of its economy every year, the nation would experience painful and damaging withdrawal.

My two cents are: US braced for huge anti-war protests Protesters want the troops to come home By Steve Schifferes BBC News Online Washington correspondent The US anti-war movement is stepping up its protests in a "pre-emptive strike for peace," amid fears that the Bush administration is moving rapidly to authorise US forces to attack Iraq. On Saturday thousands of demonstrators are expected to converge on Washington DC, for a peaceful demonstration and a march on the US Navy Yard to demand the inspection of weapons of mass destruction. The protesters are a broad-based coalition And the peace movement plans a series of local demonstrations against the war in cities across the US on 29 January, the day after President George Bush delivers his annual State of the Union address to Congress. There will be another march and rally in New York City in February. Among those speaking out against a possible war in Iraq on Saturday will be actress Jessica Lange, former US Attorney General Ramsay Clark, and the injured Vietnam war veteran Ron Kovic, who told of his growing opposition to that war in the book and movie Born on the 4th of July. From the heart Mr Kovic told BBC News Online he believed that he was seeing the growth of a new movement that would dwarf the size of the Vietnam War protests, and represented a "revolutionary transformation" in America as important as the Revolutionary War of 1776. Ron Kovic has spoken in the UK at anti-war protests He said the peace movement was non-violent, and was addressing people's "hearts and souls" as it aimed at broader social changes and the rebirth of democracy. He said that it would show the world a different, more compassionate side of America that would "erase the stain" of an aggressive war. And he said he wanted to give meaning to his own wartime sacrifice by helping stop the war this time before it begins. He also called for close cooperation between US and UK peace movements, not just to work against the war, but to mobilise for social change. Race against time Brian Becker, a spokesman for A.N.S.W.E.R (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), the organiser of the march, said the peace movement was engaged in a race against time to win the battle for public opinion before the war started. This was contested by White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, who said equal or larger numbers of Americans supported the president's approach to Iraq. President Bush will not be at the White House during the demonstrations, but will be preparing his State of the Union address at his weekend retreat at Camp David, Maryland. So far public opinion polls suggest that there is conditional support for a war against Iraq, but confusion about its motivation and fears about US casualties. According to the Pew Research Centre, two-thirds (68%) of the American public favour the use of force to remove Saddam Hussein from power, but only 26% support unilateral military action by the US. If the war resulted in thousands of US casualties, then military action is opposed by 48%, with only 43% in favour. And more than half of respondents (53%) say that President Bush has not explained clearly why it is necessary to use force to end Saddam Hussein's rule. The anti-war coalition says the expected war is neither necessary or just, and is aimed at securing US oil supplies in the Middle East. But they are trying to expand their appeal by campaigning on domestic political issues as well as the war. Broad-based coalition Many of the organisers believe there is a link between the expected war on Iraq and the lack of money for social programmes at home. Youth and student coordinator Peta Lindsay said that the money that was going for the US military should be spent on schools and colleges instead. The anti-war movement sees one of its strengths as the fact it is a "rainbow coalition," working with African-Americans, Hispanics, and immigrants, and reflecting their concerns with the Bush Administration, which recently signalled its opposition to affirmative action. One activist, Larry Holmes, cited the words of Martin Luther King during the Vietnam War protests, that the "bombs falling on South-East Asia are exploding in the ghettos of America."

My two cents are: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Americans opposed to waging war in Iraq rallied in Washington despite frigid cold on Saturday demanding the White House back down and give U.N. weapons inspectors a chance. Thousands of others were expected to demonstrate in San Francisco and at smaller protests in Chicago and Tampa, Florida, throughout the day, in what organizers said would be the largest showing of U.S. anti-war sentiment since President Bush started making his case for attacking Baghdad last year. Protesters carrying placards reading "Regime Change Starts at Home" and "Would Jesus Bomb Them?" began assembling early despite 20 degree F (minus 6 Celsius) on the National Mall in Washington. Their numbers continued to grow even as the first speaker took the stage at 11 a.m., as a thick, long line of people streamed onto the Mall.

Many said they had also demonstrated against the Vietnam war. "It's really important for us to show Europe and the rest of the world that we oppose this so they have the courage to say 'No,"' said Air Force Col. Martin Paddock (Ret.), 60, of Copake, New York.

My two cents are: The word "haole" is one of the few surviving Hawaiian language descriptions in common use in Hawai'i. And it has survived despite official suppression of my Native Hawaiian language by an all-haole, English-speaking American government in 1900. Indeed, Pete� follows in the footsteps of his American haole compatriots who came to Hawai'i in the 19th century demanding that Hawaiians convert to the haole ways of behaving. And this is precisely Pete�s typically white American problem: he wants to pretend that he is outside American history, a history which has made white power and white supremacy the governing norm from the birth of the American colonies to the present American imperium that holds the world as a nuclear hostage. Pete� is a privileged member of American society because he is haole, whether he acknowledges his privilege or not. His very presence in Hawai'i, and before that in Louisiana, is a luxury provided him through centuries of white conquest that visited genocide on American Indians, slavery on Africans, peonage on Asians and dispossession on Native Hawaiians. Hawai'i is presently a colony of the United States, not because we Hawaiians chose that status, but because the American government overthrew our Hawaiian government in 1893, and forcibly annexed our islands in 1898. With the overthrow, things Hawaiian were outlawed and things haole American were imposed. As an American in Hawai'i, Pete� is benefiting from stolen goods. Part of that benefit is the moral blindness of the settler who insists on his "individuality" when his very presence has nothing to do with his "individuality" and everything to do with his historical position as a member of a white imperialist country. Pete� could examine his own presence here, and how things haole, including the English language, the political and economic systems, and the non-self-governing status of Native Hawaiians allows him to live and work in my country when so many of my own people have been driven out. Of course, Pete� needs to know, before he learns about Hawaiians, that in the long and bloody march of American history, only African-Americans were classed as 3/5 of a person in the American Constitution, that noble document of democracy. Asians were beaten and killed because they were "yellow peril." Only Japanese were interned in concentration camps because they were Japanese, only American Indians were "removed" and "terminated" as a people because they were Indian. In fact, Pete� does not understand racism at all, another common characteristic of white people. For racism is a system of power in which one racially-identified group dominates and exploits another racially-identified group for the advantage of the dominating group. People of color in America don't have enough power to dominate and exploit white people. That's what the so-called "founding fathers" of the United States intended, and that's how American society operates today. But Pete� hasn't noticed this reality. The hatred and fear people of color have of white people is based on that ugly history Pete� is pretending to have an "individual" exemption from, and which he refuses to acknowledge. It is for self-protection and in self-defense that we people of color feel hostility towards haoles. Contrary to what Pete� believes, this hostility is not "haole-bashing"; it is a smart political sense honed by our deep historical wounding at the hands of the haole. On the rare occasions that we feel something other than hostility, something like trust or friendship for certain haole, it is because we have made an exception for them. It is our privilege and not Pete� privilege to make exceptions, and to make them one by one. For it would be the mark of extreme historical stupidity to trust all haoles. In his uninformed, childish moaning, Pete� flaunts his willful ignorance of where he is (in my native country, Hawai'i), and who he is (a haole American). Of course, his statements are disingenuous. If Pete� does not like being a haole, he can return to the mainland. Hawaiians would certainly benefit from one less haole in our land. In fact, United Airlines has dozens of flights to the U.S. continent every day, Pete�. Why don't you take one?

My two cents are: Economics aside, the administration's ever-changing rationale for tax cuts says a lot about its character. If the Bush team never cared about deficits, Mr. Bush's promises of fiscal responsibility were dishonest. On the other hand, if administration officials didn't decide that deficits are O.K. until that belief became convenient, that suggests that they're tough talkers who make excuses when confronted with real problems. That's a scary thought; is this the kind of administration that would, say, call North Korea names and talk about pre-emptive war, but back down and offer aid when the country actually threatens to restart its nuclear program? Nah, couldn't happen.

My two cents are: ECONOMIC PICTURE EVEN WORSE THAN BUSH'S BLEAK PREDICTIONS "WHITE HOUSE budget director Mitchell E. Daniels Jr. the other day became the first administration official to say out loud just how bleak the budget picture is. The deficits for the next two years, he said, would probably be in the range of 2 percent to 3 percent of the economy -- about $200 billion to $300 billion, or around the size of the record $290 billion shortfall in 1992 under the first President Bush. That sum doesn't include the projected cost of a war with Iraq -- $50 billion by conservative estimates -- or the impact of the audacious tax cut the president has just proposed, which Mr. Daniels said would add "scores of billions" to the deficit this year and about $100 billion in 2004. Nor, Mr. Daniels said, could the public expect anything close to balance anytime soon; deficits, he said, are in the picture "for the foreseeable future." Some private forecasters think things are even worse. The investment bank Goldman Sachs estimates the deficit could reach $300 billion this year and rise to $375 billion in 2004. " 01.17.03

My two cents are: wBush Is Racking Up "Frequent Liar Miles" Strategy of "lie and rely" relies on media to disseminate Dubya�s deceptions By Dennis Hans Lyndon Johnson is remembered for lying about Vietnam, Richard Nixon for lying about Watergate, Bill Clinton for lying about adultery. George W. Bush is known as a �straight shooter.� What�s wrong with that picture? Bush has, after all, racked up more �frequent liar miles� than any other politician in recent memory. Not familiar with �frequent liar miles�? I coined the expression to pay tribute to the staying power of Bush�s lies. After all, a lie is of no use to the teller if it is promptly branded a lie and the teller a liar. Not only does he not benefit from the lie, his now-tarnished image makes it more difficult to get anyone to believe subsequent lies. Call it the Saddam Syndrome: A guy gets caught in a few lies and before you know it nothing he says is taken at face value. All the good will is gone, as if Saddam never shook hands with Donald Rumsfeld or made common cause with Ronald Reagan against evil Iran. These days, reporters shout �Show me the weapons!� and pundits deride him as Mr. Cheat and Retreat. Our news media � without the imprimatur of a formal U.N. resolution � have even erected a �no lie� zone over Iraq and shoot down Hussein�s howlers before they can infect international audiences. In stunning contrast, Bush�s lies are broadcast as truth. They originate at the White House and are transmitted to network amplification centers in New York and Washington, at which point the lie leaves the president�s control. He then must rely on men named Brokaw, Jennings, Rather and Lehrer to treat the presidential lie with respect and deliver it to every nook and cranny in America via �the people�s airwaves.� The longer and farther the lie flies, the more �frequent liar miles� the president accumulates. The strategy of �lie and rely� entails considerable risks. What if the media Bush is relying on to disseminate his lies chooses instead to shoot them down? A president is doomed if his every pronouncement is greeted with groans and guffaws. That�s why it�s wise to lie only when the truth won�t suffice AND the stakes are high � to win an election, to avoid the taint of scandal-plagued cronies, to sell a war the public is disinclined to buy. Throughout Campaign 2000, candidate Bush test-piloted �lie and rely.� He lied to a Dallas Morning News reporter to keep hidden a drunk-driving conviction. He lied repeatedly to the national media about his own and Al Gore�s economic plans. Did so in speeches and again in the debates. The lies traveled far and wide. Amazingly, they remained airborne even after repeated puncturing by New York Times columnist and Princeton economist Paul Krugman. From that experience, Bush learned an invaluable lesson: So long as the airwaves remain loyal, �lie and rely� can override isolated, ink-based exposure. As president, a confident Bush lied after the Enron scandal erupted about how long and how well he knew the man he now referred to as �Mr. Lay� � though it was �Kenny Boy� back in the day. A quick study, Bush showed he had mastered what I call the �fact-based lie�(speaking words that are technically true, knowing full well they paint a false or misleading picture) when he said he had known of Lay in 1994 as someone who supported Ann Richards, his opponent for the Texas governorship. Lay and his wife did indeed give money to Richards� campaign � and three times as much to Bush�s. Fact-based lies, long the domain of weasels, are particularly risky for a president who presents himself as the antithesis of weaseldom. If caught, he can�t reply, �Technically speaking, I didn�t lie.� The ridicule would be relentless. That Bush would resort to fact-based lying suggests unlimited confidence � both in himself and the giants of journalism, who he is counting on to play or be dumb. Bush and his foreign-policy team have told a string of traditional and fact-based lies about Iraq�s links to al Qaeda and 9-11, as well as the magnitude and imminence of the threat Saddam poses to the United States. Those lies have helped the president gain far greater support from the public and Congress for his aggressive stance than he would have garnered with a plain-spoken, straight-shooting approach. Again, we find that �lie and rely� has easily overcome sporadic, ink-based attacks. In October, for example, Washington Post reporter Dana Millbank detailed several jaw-dropping lies about Iraq and other matters, which he described euphemistically as presidential �flights of fancy.� But the airwaves held firm, and Millbank himself got back on the team when he guested January 12 on CNN�s Late Edition (click here for the transcript: http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0301/12/le.00.html) to discuss The Right Man, a book about Bush by his former speech writer, David Frum. A controversial passage was displayed on the screen and read aloud by host Wolf Blitzer (who missed the irony that the controversy revolved around those parts of the passage that appear to be true, rather than the one assertion that is patently false): �George W. Bush is a very unusual person � a good man who is not a weak man. He has many faults. He is impatient and quick to anger, sometimes glib, even dogmatic, often uncurious and, as a result, ill-informed, more conventional in his thinking than a leader probably should be. But outweighing the faults are his virtues: decency, honesty, rectitude, courage and tenacity.� Yep, Frum wrote �honesty.� Millbank, who knew better, didn�t bat an eye or squeak a peep. Nor did the presumably clueless Blitzer. When journalists are this deferential and reverential, there�s no limit to the frequent liar miles Bush can accumulate.

Liar liberals are never honest or trustworthy. Their continued efforts to support discrimination, prejudice and racism towards white people, instead of all people, proves they are virtue-less cumbag socialsits. Demonrats from Hell.

My two cents are: Where i come from, you can tap the window glass from inside the room. If you want to touch the screen, you open the window. Now, if you've got a window that swings outward to open, you're going to want that screen on the inside so's you don't bust it every time you want some air. Used to work as a screen installer.

My two cents are: If your screens are on the inside then your windows must swing outward when they open instead of slide up or down. Perhaps you have to crank them to make them open up. The disadvantage is that the elements get to work on both the inside and outside of the window.

I myself keep them indoors because that's the way they're installed on the windows. Do they do it another way in the rube areas, assuming the American rube has discovered them and doesn't just sit on the front dirt with a flyswatter and a citronella candle? I'd like to know, because I suspect that old Glint is just ignorant here, never noticed which side the screens are on any more than he learned how to make his bed or roll his socks. After all, there's a limit to what living off-campus can teach you if Mom comes over to do your laundry and adjust the screens when the skeeters start bothering.

My two cents are: In a hastily called press conference this morning President Bush announced that he had just set in motion plans to force Israel to give up its massive nuclear arsenal. The President, waving a thick DOD folder, said he had just discovered that Israel has more than a hundred fully operative nuclear warheads. "How come we�re going after Saddam for maybe one or two when these guys have a hundred or more?" asked the President, adding "what if one of those things hits our oil?" The President was then escorted from the podium by members of his staff, led by White House Secretary Ari Fleischer and Under Secretary of State Paul Wolfowitz. In a hastily arranged cover-up press conference minutes later Mr. Fleischer announced to reporters that the President had "misspoke" himself, explaining that he often confused countries beginning with "I." "He may have meant Iran or India," said Mr. Fleischer, adding that The President had missed his shot that morning. When foreign reporters persisted in asking whether the Commander in Chief would follow through with plans to make Israel reduce its massive nuclear arsenal, widely acknowledged by world leaders as the primary factor destabilizing the Middle East, Mr. Fleischer became visibly perturbed. "What nukes?" he spluttered. "What Israel? I�ve never heard of Israel! And neither have you."

I would trust a man, even a squat ugly dickless man with piano legs, to lie about sex, and wouldn't bother to verify unless he claimed to be porking my wife or sister the same as he claims to pork everyone else's wife and sister, the astounding lothario. I would trust a pie chart, but I would verify what it is trying to tell me by reading its title. I would trust a Senate Majority Leader chosen by Karl Rove, but I would verify the whereabouts of my favorite cat. I would trust Snippy to not negotiate with the North Koreans, but I would verify by watching his negotiator negotiate. I would trust that Condi Rice knows her way around foreign policy, but I would verify whether that her clueless performance in a press conference means that she is clueless. I would trust someone who claimed to live outside the bubble, but verify by checking to see if what he really meant was he lived off campus at some second-rate medwestern diploma mill. I would trust that an air-headed wastrel son of a one-term homosexual president would make a good president himself, by I would verify his statements by testing them against the truth, and watch to see if he tanked the economy, looted the national treasury, and got his ass in a world-wide sling.

And yet he realizes that the CIA has a lot of Iraqi camel boys on the payroll sending us the whereabouts of WMD's on their wrist radios. He knows who is tried and true and who is just an empty suit pushed forward by a bunch of venal oil hustlers to open up the trough. This is no backwoods rube. This rube rides the express bus right into the town square, knows how to buy a ticket and everything. Probably tips the driver.

My two cents are: Glint is not clueless. He has Madeline Albright figured out when she nicely refrains from rubbing the Snipster's face in the fact that he is going to have to scrabble hard on all fours and bark like a dog to get Kim Jung Il to let him kiss his Korean ass. He knows his way around a phony pie chart as nice as you please. He can use a Dick Armey tax calculator and find out that he is paying "up to" $1500 in marriage penalties. This rube didn't just fall off the manure truck.

My two cents are: Clueless? Well, yes. But as time goes by, he proves himself to be, well, a fascist. A jovial fascist, yes, always around for the laughs. What I would suggest is you left click and drag along the URL at the bottom left of his latest, unreadable cartoon paste. I believe the message, "Celebrating five years with Brenda" will appear. I'm afraid there's something pretty ugly about Glint. Besides his documented ugliness, that is.

My two cents are: What Glint enivisions is no camel jockey, but some whizbang Iraqi scientist or Republican Guard Captain who emails the CIA from various internet cafes in the Greater Baghdad area. Or maybe some deep cover CIA ace who has wormed his way into Saddam's inner aanctum. The real point here is, a lot of people may have to stop breathing to protect this guy's identitt so we can send him to work in Korea after we've conquered Arabia again. Get with the program!

My two cents are: What about when they were riding in the limo and Bush asked the guy from Brazil whether they had negroes in Brazil. Condi jumped in and handled that one pretty well. Pretty dang good crisis managament, if you ask me.

My two cents are: Condi always seems a little pole-axed. She always seems a little clueless. Like when she said nobody had ever heard of such a thing as a kamikaze pilot. Maybe the jury is still out on Condi.

My two cents are: This is weird. Where did Glunt get the idea that we said we didn't want to out our guys in Iraq? All I heard him say was that we'll do the talking. Nobody said we were worried about compromising spies, did they? I mean, we've got all sorts of intercepts and satellite data, right? Not just the word of some camel jockey informer who claims there's a scud under the pillow? Please tell me that this is just a case of Glit watching too many television spy dramas, and that we're doing better than Abdul in the pantry.

In fact, it may be four or five wars down the road before you can let the cat out of the bag. Assuming, of course, a string of tried and true republican appointees.

My two cents are: Our man in Baghdad, we call him. The spy that we don't want to snuff out. He's telling us that Saddam has a big bottle of nerve gas in his bedroom. Let me tell you something about the spy business: if we say that we have to jap Saddam because he has a big bottle of nerve gas in his bedroom, then our guy's ass is grass.

My two cents are: I'm sitting here on my computer and the U.S. govermnent won't reveal it's top secrets to me. So what if knowledge of the information would lead the evil doers straight to its source so that they might snuff it out and put an end to any future intelligence it might gather.
Now we've got spies in Iraq? Tell them to ask Saddam where he's hiding Osama.

My two cents are: You know, I thought "trust, but verify" was just another Gipperism, written by his Hollywood hacks in his adminstration. But, when Glint embraced it, I started to take it seriously. Having done so, I tried to apply it to some of the current Top Ten World Governments. When I got to Snippy it got real easy.

My two cents are: I agree. But once they get into office, by hook or crook, I think they have to be trusted to start wars without explaining just why exactly. Unless, of course, they have lied about their sex lives in the past.

My two cents are: I don't think it's fair to ask a Republican like Cheney to tell the truth all the time. It's like asking anyone else to cut his own throat. A Republican can do nothing for the people who depend on him if he starts telling the truth, becuase then he can't get elected. Do you really think Cheney should have come out in the debates and said he got rich on using his government contacts to get government contracts and government corporate welfare to Halliburton? Of course not! He HAD to pretend he made his pile in the "private sector." That's the very essence of the Republican cover story!

My two cents are: are: They did trust Bill Clinton. He told the judge he had no sex in any way shape or form with any damn intern and they couldn't prove otherwise. They trusted him on that. But they also wanted to verify. So they asked for a dollop of his blood which they used to compare with certain forensic drippings which later turned out to his. You might say it was an "emission of guilt."

My two cents are: Why are Pete and Horowitz so upset about this judge Pickering? He's obviously a left-winger, so why are they so upset that the Democrats are going to exercise their Constitutional duty and turn him down? You'd think they'd want a real Republican racist in there, instead a a howling liberal like Judge Sharpton Pickerdick.
