Deadeye Dick Guardian, UK - Dec 16, 2003 ...If shooting defenceless birds can be described as relaxation, it is possible Mr Cheney's expedition was cathartic. After all, he has many worries. His old firm, Halliburton, is accused of profiteering in Iraq. His private contacts with energy industry executives are now subject to a supreme court lawsuit. Far smarter than the present White House incumbent, Mr Cheney harboured presidential ambitions before his heart grew dicky....

Subject: Shrub supports anti-gay amendment?
I heard this yesterday on a nationally
syndicated radio show.
Apparently, the Presidink said he would support a Constitutional
amendment banning gay marriage. Obviously (whatever your personal
views are) this is blatantly UN-constitutional.
I thought everyone had the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
a penis?
Hahaha. President Sock
Puppet should know, he sure likes showing off his!
I was watching CNN (while painting my living room walls) when the Malvo verdict came in. The reporter was getting ready to give the verdict when CNN switched to the Michael Jackson press conference held by the crazed prosecutor, Tom Stedden. CNN has really sunk to a new low.

Saddam 'captured weeks ago'
17/12/2003 07:19 - (SA)
By Erika Gibson News24.com
Pretoria - An intelligence website has reported that former Iraqi president,
Saddam Hussein, might have been a prisoner at the time of his arrest.
According to Debkafiles there is a possibility that Saddam was
held for up to three weeks in the underground pit by a Kurdish splinter group
while they negotiated a handover to the Americans in return for the US$25m
reward...
Subject: Drudge-O'Reilly/ Too good to miss
Dear Lisa,
If you haven't seen the Matt Drudge-Bill O'Reilly flap that emerged yesterday,
check out:
www.drudgereportarchives.com/dsp/links_recap.htm and go down to
15:04:09 et al "Host..." entries. O'Reilley claimed on "Today?" the non-fiction
sales "contest" for the year was a showdown between him and Hillary, and Drudge
put sales figures on his site that showed it wasn't true. The O'Reilly response
was just what Al Franken would have predicted.
Joe
Thanks for the link, Joe. I am waiting for the day when the men in the white coats remove O'Reilly from the No Spin Zone. It can happen!

THE NAZIS at FAUX NEWS (THE FASCIST NONSENSE

But one question: where's Osama bin Laden?
There were NO Iraqis on those 9/11/01 planes...the majority of the hijackers
were Saudis. But, hey, DUMBya can't afford to OFFEND his fellow corrupt oil
billionaires.
I have thought, from the beginning, that Bush and his cabal were behind 9/11.
Anyone who would steal a presidential election is capable of anything. I think
bin Laden was paid off to have his boys fly the planes into the WTC, the
Pentagon..and wherever else they were headed (funny the plane never hit the
White House)...to make DUMBya look presidential. The American people were
starting to catch onto his little act and how stupid he is.
They needed a distraction BIG TIME...and so what if thousands of ORDINARY
(non-wealthy) people were killed?
Hey, tell me I'm paranoid. Tell me I watch too many Oliver Stone movies. I just
happen to believe that "Governor Giggle and Kill" and his band of crooks are
capable of anything! These are greedy, evil creeps.

(PS) That moron who keeps e-mailing you....how can he make a six-figure salary

Thanks for writing Terry. The rightwing won't stop at anything now. They taunt their enemies and laugh about it. I don't think BushInc. will have to orchestrate another 9-11, they are inviting the enemy to strike. That is what is so frightening.
I never got my tax cut check this year, did you?

It's not quite Soviet-style airbrushing, but the Bush administration has been
using cyberspace to make some of its own cosmetic touch-ups to
history...Recently, however, the government has purged the offending comments by
Natsios from the agency's Web site. The transcript, and links to it, have
vanished...
