...O'Neill said he tried to warn
Vice President Dick Cheney that growing budget deficits -- expected to top
$500 billion (270.7 million pounds) this fiscal year alone -- posed a threat
to the U.S. economy.
Cheney cut him off. "You know, Paul, Reagan proved deficits don't matter,"
he said, according to excerpts. Cheney continued: "We won the midterms
(congressional elections). This is our due."
A month later, Cheney told the Treasury secretary he was fired....

Hi Lisa,
First of all I want to say that I love your site, and it gives me great hope, as
an world citizen, that so many Americans like you think for themselves and use
the little freedom of speech you (still) have to reach people and make them see,
be it in a lighthearted kind of way, what's really going on.
My question is: Are there any attempts in the U.S. at any level to reform your
loopy electoral system? After the '00 election there was a slight buzz going on
about how it wasn't of this time and not very democratic etc.. But then I never
heard of it again...
That's it. Keep up the good work in 2004! lots of luck in the new year

Dear Gys,
Thanks for writing. I know of no serious attempt to do away with the
electoral system. But I found this interesting opinion piece

being billed as the Healthy Forest Restoration Act. This is part of what he
calls his clear skies legislation. Do you know why they call it that? Once you

CONSTIPATED CONSERVATIVE
In 1993, Pat Robertson declared:
"Just like what Nazi Germany did to
the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians.
It's no different. It's the same thing. It is happening all over again.
It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the
homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and
discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today.
More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."
Gee, I
didn't know that liberals murdered millions of evangelical Christians?

SUBJECT: Inner Peace
I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me...and at
this time of year we all could use a little...calm!!! By following the simple
advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace........The article
read:
"The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started." So
I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn't
finished....and before coming to work this morning I finished off a bottle of
red wine, a bottle of white, the Bailey's, Kahlua and Wild Turkey, my Prozac,
some Valium, the last of the weed, my cigarettes and a box of chocolates."
You have no idea how freakin good I feel....
You may pass this on to those you feel are in need of Inner
Peace...

Subject: Second Annual Dubya Quote
Quiz.
It's time for my Second Annual Dubya Quote
Quiz. (You'll find my
First Annual Dubya
Quote Quiz here.) As I said last year, Dubya's use of the English language
is so ... uh ... creative, that it's often hard to tell a made-up quote from the
real enchilada. So once again, as a public service, I offer a Dubya Quote Quiz,
this one based exclusively on quotes from 2003.
Each question consists of four quotes -- three
of which George Dubya really said last year and one of which is a fictitious
quote straight out of my satirical
Dubya's Dayly Diary.
So have a good time testing your Bush quote knowledge. You'll find a link to the
answers at the end. No cheating now!
1 (a) "I recently met with the finance
minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of
finances."
(b) "First, let me make it very clear, poor
people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich
doesn't mean you're willing to kill."
(c) "Next time the liberal press'll think
twice before pesterin me fer a press conference. Cause I sprung one on em
Wednesday, and I was fabulous! Those reporters were on the hunt, but they sure
as hell didn't have me on the run!"
(d) "There's what they call 'actionable
intelligence,' to which our military has responded on a quick basis is
improving."
2 (a) "I think war is a dangerous place."
(b) "Laura's freakin cause it leaked out
that she had someone buy a kiddy's book fer some TV appearance & then returned
the used book fer credit. I don't see what the problem is -- she's just settin a
good frugal example fer the American people."
(c) "We've had a great weekend here in the
Land of the Enchanted."
(d) "When you hear about war all the time
on your TV screens, the speculation of war and the discussion of war, it's not
conducive to a confident tomorrow."
