FEMA Aide Loses New
Job Over Fake News Conference |
After almost eight years of this administration, I feel as though I am in a long running, low budget James Bond movie, with George Bush '"playing" the lead.
President Bush spoke to fire victims in California Thursday. He wanted to show he cares for their safety, their lives and their future. He would have comforted them longer but he had to get back to the White House and prepare for World War Three. - Argus Hamilton

I Hope We're Guarding the Dam
The
largest dam in Iraq is in serious danger of an imminent collapse that could
unleash a trillion-gallon wave of water, possibly killing thousands of people
and flooding two of the largest cities in the country, according to new
assessments by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other U.S. officials.
Even in a country gripped by daily bloodshed, the possibility of a catastrophic
failure of the Mosul Dam has alarmed American officials,
who have concluded that it could lead to as many as 500,000 civilian deaths by
drowning Mosul under 65 feet of water and parts of Baghdad under 15 feet
Citing how dang messy spreading democracy can be, the Bush administration grants Blackwater immunity from murdering innocent Iraqis. - Grant Gerver, www.seriouskidding.com
Disturbing News
The Department of Intel Manipulation
When the United States
military command accused the Iranian Quds Force in January of providing the
armor-piercing EFPs (explosively formed penetrators) that were killing US
troops, it knew
that Iraqi machine shops had been producing their own EFPs for years, a
review of the historical record of evidence on EFPs in Iraq shows.
Alabama Football Fans Profit From Katrina
With large swaths of the Gulf Coast still in ruins from Hurricane Katrina, rich federal tax breaks designed to spur rebuilding are flowing hundreds of miles inland to investors who are buying up luxury condos near the University of Alabama's football stadium...Locals say Tuscaloosa was included in the GO Zone through the efforts of Republican Sen. Richard Shelby, who is from Tuscaloosa, graduated from Alabama and sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee.

Rudy Broke Promise
Ten
months into his presidential bid, Rudy Giuliani continues to work part time at
the security consulting firm he promised to leave this past spring to focus on
his pursuit of the Republican nomination.
Giuliani's continuing involvement with a firm catering to corporate clients
makes him unique among Republican contenders.
It also complicates the
task of separating his firm's assets from his campaign spending.

Congress Wants to Protect Reporters, Bush Promises Veto
This was in
the latter part of the 1970s, and people were trying to throw me and my partner
in a federal jail.
The memory of those hectic days is why I'm so interested in something that's
taking place in our nation's capital right now...the U.S . House passed - by a
lopsided vote of 398-21 - a bill to give reporters limited protection from being
forced in court to reveal their sources.
Most Republicans, as well as Democrats, supported the bill...A similar bill
cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 15-2.
Still, President Bush has said that he will veto the bill if it comes to him.

Hail To The Chimp Video Game
Alex Seropian, the co-creator of the blockbuster video game franchise “Halo,”
has turned his attention to something less violent but with arguably more
backstabbing: presidential politics.
Under his new label, Wideload Games, Seropian is set for a March release of
“Hail to the Chimp,” a metaphorical look at the election with 10 animals
standing in for the candidates.
“It’s a nonpartisan game, but it’s got all the elements of our current
administration,” a Wideload spokeswoman said. Including, we might add,
a chimp that looks suspiciously like a caricature of President Bush.
A cynical,
mercenary, demagogic press will in time produce a people as base as itself.

“We’re sort of used to the high rollers coming by,” said Dan Roth, 69, a
member of the Mid-County Rod and Gun Club, a more modest establishment on the
east side of Clove Mountain, where the membership dues average about $2,000 a
year.
“Dick Cheney gets people talking, though,” Mr. Roth said. “People wonder if he’s
going to shoot something.
Or someone.”

The only thing certain about the critter photographed by a hunter's camera is that some people have gotten the notion it could be a Sasquatch, or bigfoot. Others say it's just a bear with a bad skin infection. Photo/Rick Jacobs
