U.N.: Violence in Afghanistan up almost 25 percent in '07 McClatchy News 10-2-07 Afghanistan is currently suffering its most violent year since the 2001 U.S.-led intervention, according to an internal United Nations report that sharply contrasts with recent upbeat appraisals by President Bush and his Afghan counterpart, Hamid Karzai... |
If America is such a great democracy, why aren't our leaders listening to us?
"In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Rudy Giuliani said he is guided by Jesus and the Bible, and he doesn't want people to judge his private life. He then said, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.' And then Mitt Romney hit him in the head with a rock" --Jay Leno

Bush Invited To Iranian University
After the controversial appearance of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia University last week, an Iranian university yesterday invited President Bush to travel to Iran and speak on campus about a range of issues, including the Holocaust, terrorism, human rights and U.S. foreign policy, the Fars News Agency reported yesterday...The White House said yesterday that Bush would be willing to travel to Iran, but under different circumstances.
"The President does not have second thoughts." - Dana Perino, White House microphone
Disturbing News
Tortured Thomas
He was 43 and had one
year of judicial experience when Bush the Elder nominated him to replace
Thurgood Marshall on the court.
Even Thomas can't seriously believe Bush's claim that he was the "most
qualified" candidate.
In the interview with Kroft, Thomas spoke of his experience at Yale Law School,
which set aside a number of slots for minority students. He said he sees his
Yale law degree as "tainted," worth less than a white student's degree.
"Did
you know homosexuals are executed in Iran? ... But only if a homosexual act
either between two men or two women is witnessed by four or more other men. That
shows you the difference in our culture. ... Like in Iran, two women having sex
witnessed by four men, that's called a capital crime. See, here, that would be
called a bachelor party." --Jay Leno
"The
old, toe-tapping senator from the great state of Idaho, Larry Craig ... has
changed his mind and is not going to resign. You know what it is? I don't think
he wants to give up the key to the executive washroom. ... You know that
bathroom in the Minneapolis airport where he got caught? Well, the airport is
now spending a ton of money to build new stall dividers that go all the way to
the ground ... to make it a less inviting spot for sexual activity. And today,
Senator Craig said, 'Minneapolis, tear down that wall!'" --Jay Leno

Bush Executive Order Axed, Finally!
Presidents don't have
indefinite veto power over which records are made public after they've left
office, a federal judge ruled Monday.
In a narrowly crafted ruling, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly
invalidated part of President Bush's 2001 executive order....By law, the
National Archives has the final say over the release of presidential records...The
judge ordered the National Archives not to withhold any more documents based on
that section of the executive order.
"PBS
host Tavis Smiley ... was the moderator at the Republican debate on minority
issues at Morgan State University. But not one of the four leading Republican
candidates -- Giuliani, Thompson, McCain or Romney-- showed up for the debate on
black issues. How are you going to stand up to the terrorists when you're afraid
of a guy named Tavis Smiley?" --Jay Leno

Wouldn't It Be Cool If Anita Hill Sued Justice Thomas for Libel AND Slander?
In a particularly nasty blow, Justice Thomas attacked my religious conviction, telling “60 Minutes” this weekend, “She was not the demure, religious, conservative person that they portrayed.” Perhaps he conveniently forgot that he wrote a letter of recommendation for me to work at the law school at Oral Roberts University, in Tulsa. I remained at that evangelical Christian university for three years, until the law school was sold to Liberty University, in Lynchburg, Va., another Christian college.

guys keep telling me, lighten up, be fun. Now I get a little funny, and I'm
