I wonder why Ashcroft
appointed a Chicago prosecutor so far away from DC , when there are dozens of
experienced special prosecutors right there in Washington DC?
“Washington floats on a sea of leaks. What
was unusual about this [CIA Leaker} was that he did not call one or two
reporters, as is the usual practice, but called a half dozen reporters. The
intent of the leak becomes more clear and more serious.”

Hi Lisa,
Roger Ailes hasn't changed his style since he was running Reagan's
disinfo machine.
Steve
Hahahaha, Steve. I heard another blonde
from the bimbo brigade, KellyAnne Fitzpatrick (the GOP blonde pollster with
teeth like Steven Tyler from ArrowSmith) on some cable news show yesterday---she
was literally spitting out moralistic judgments about Bill Clinton and how
disgusting a husband and president he was.
Roger Ailes is the President of the Dumbing Down of America. His
definition of fair and balanced news is Fear and Ballistic news. Thanks for the
great toon and comment.

Halliburton Flap Prompts Change
CBS News - 12-31-03
... products into Iraq under a mission awarded
without competitive bids. Cheney headed Halliburton before running for vice
president. ...
As Bush Sr.'s secretary of defense, Dick Cheney steered millions of dollars
in government business to a private military contractor -- whose parent
company just happened to give him a high-paying job after he left the
government.
Mother Jones - By Robert Bryce
August 2, 2000
…In 1992, the
Pentagon, then under Cheney's direction, paid Texas-based
Brown & Root Services $3.9 million
to produce a classified report detailing how private companies -- like
itself -- could help provide logistics for American troops in potential war
zones around the world….After Bill Clinton's election cost Cheney his
government job, he wound up in 1995 as CEO of
Halliburton Company, the
Dallas-based oil services giant -- which just happens to own Brown & Root
Services….

did $23.8 million in business with Saddam Hussein…” - Molly Ivins
“You’ve got to go where the oil is. I don’t think about it [political
volatility] very much,”
Cheney told the Panhandle Producers and Royalty Owners Association annual
meeting in 1998.

So, If Bill's Vice Prez, (the Constipitution doesn't ban that
to my knowledge) and IF the Right Wingers manage to off another Democrat in
some unfortunate "accident"......does that mean Hastert gets the presidency????

SUBJECT: MAD COW DISEASE
Dear Lisa,
Happy New Year and thanks for all you do for us. You continue to be
very brave. Just a quick question. Would it be accurate to say that the
country has been suffering from Mad Cow Disease ever since the 2000
Elections? Or would that be Mad Cowboy Disease? Given the name of your site,
I thought you would be the one to ask.
Your faithful reader,
Phil Schultz
Happy New Year Philip!
All I know is that the Mad Cowboy doesn't have any cattle following him, only
sheep.

Would Clark, Dean, Gore, or Clinton just

Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The small spacecraft,
weighing only about 770 pounds (350 kg), is scheduled to gather particles of a
comet January 2, 2004 and later jettison a Sample Return Capsule containing the
comet particles, which is scheduled to land January 2006 in a desert area of the
state of Utah in the United States. The sample return capsule is pictured at
