Bush is pulling out all the stops to get re-selected. Every day it is something new.

Subject: Crashed Jet Photo

Lisa--

I love your site and am only sending this for your
information. Please don't interpret it as criticism!

Having learned to fly when i was practically a kid, i
follow aviation stories closely. To the best of my
knowledge, the Russian MiG-29 fighter jet shown in
your photo post did not crash. (This supersonic
aircraft does not even leave the ground til approx 150
mph. Doesn't it seem in remarkably good shape for a
crashed airplane?) Instead, it's one of several Iraqi
Air Force jets buried by Saddam to prevent their being
destroyed by us. They were found and dug up by U.S.
forces.

That photo has appeared in several overseas and U.S.
news stories. The burial and subsequent digging-up
were reported in each of them.

Possibly the "missing" records of "President" Bush's
Air National Guard "service" and his "missing" driving
& arrest histories suffered a similar fate. DANG that
sneaky Saddam, anyway!! But it gives Bush yet another
badly needed excuse fer invadin' Eye-rack.

Thanks Jeff...I received many emails stating the same.  My viewers are smarter than moi!  I received that photo from another viewer.  I posted it because it looked so strange.  Thanks for the correction all!

Osama in the house?

By Kathryn Wallace

Columnist - The Stanford Daily

Wednesday, February 25, 2004

Have U.S. authorities captured Osama Bin Laden? If certain international papers are to be believed, he is currently surrounded by U.S. forces and will be taken into custody at the soonest politically expedient moment. No, you haven’t seen this reported in the U.S. press — not even the story that other press organizations are reporting an Osama capture. But does that mean the story is pure fiction?...

WASHINGTON (IWR News Parody) — Late Friday afternoon, President Bush announced that O. J. Simpson would be replacing David Kay as head of the Iraq Survey Group.
"I am confident that my pal O. J. can find the real weapons of mass destruction," said Mr. Bush.

EMAIL:

Dear Lisa,
Having received a high school diploma with barely passing grades leaves me hard-put to understand
Orwellian doublespeak, false-speak, and the current political jargon. In order to better understand the
true State of the Union, I read and reread the U.S. Constitution.

Article 1 states the responsibility of the Congress. Under section 8," the Congress shall have the power to
declare war......." Also, Article 6 states that Congress " shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this
Constitution...."

So, Lisa, here's my take on the current state of the union. Dismal and very dangerous.

Mr. Bush is not a main factor in my evaluation. he isa "Carnie Hustler" with a funny way of talking. So how
did this person with the lowest I.Q. of all past presidents become the worst president of all time?
Only because Congress let him! I don't see anywhere in the Constitution that it says
"If the potato's too hot, you can pass it on." Tell me where it says Congress can give up their
Constitutional responsibility. Though Congress may have a hell of a lot of authority, they do not have
that authority. And if it's too hot in the kitchen, then too damn bad. You ain't leavin' till you hogtie
and brand this "hot potato".

Any member of Congress who gave up his responsibility in going to war violated their oath to uphold the
Constitution and should be removed from office! John Kerry included. We don't need just a new president ,
we need political change. To use nautical terminology, the "Ship of State" is in chains. Wind from one
direction, currant from another, and tide from yet another direction. Damned if you do. Damned if you
don't. This ship doesn't just need a new captain, it needs a whole new crew. Although this storm is big and
powerful and will last a long time, the crew must prevail because over the horizon lies an area known as
"Dire Straits", and the Ship of State is being sucked into it. Only with change can we escape this calamity.

I'm offered another candidate for president, but that still doesn't seem to be a vote for needed change. I
am definitely for change. I just don't see that this is a voting option. I'm absolutely A.B.B. but I don't
feel Kerry is even worthy of my vote.

So Lisa, who do I vote for? Remember - Checks and Balances.

The late , great Will Rogers was quoted as saying (with a snicker and chuckle) "All I know is what I read
in the papers" . He would then lambaste the government in an incredible , humorous way. Keep it light. Keep
it funny. And keep it right. You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Don't ever stop, Lisa.
I really enjoy your website. Thanks.
Jack
 

Jack, thanks for writing. I will vote for any one but Bush, even if I have to hold my nose. Many have asked me if I will continue this website if Bush is pushed out of office...you bet I will as long as I receive donations. The fight has just begun to take our country back.

I am at your service Dear Jack.

"It was an interesting day." - President Bush, recalling 9/11

So why, at 9:03 a.m. - fifteen minutes after it was clear the United States was under terrorist attack - did President Bush sit down with a classroom of second-graders and begin a 20-minute pre-planned photo op? No one knows the answer to that question.

Bush's appearance at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, on September 11, 2001 had been in the planning stages since August [Booker web site], but was only publicly announced on the morning of September 7. [White House, 9/7/01] Later that same day, 9/11 hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi traveled to Sarasota and enjoyed drinks and dinner at a Holiday Inn only two miles down the sandy beach from where Bush was scheduled to stay during his Sarasota visit. [Longboat Observer, 11/21/01, Washington Post, 1/27/02]

Why did Bush just sit there while the US was being attacked? That question should be asked over and over by the Democratic presidential candidate.  That, to me, is a significant lack of leadership.

In the fall of 1999, the company I work for announced that it was discontinuing it's pension plan. Employees hired after January 2000 would not be enrolled, however employees like myself who were vested should still receive benefits when we retire, unless there was an interruption in service. If service was interrupted (leave of absence, etc) then you would not be reinstated in the plan. That wasn't too encouraging, but what the heck, I still have my 401-K. Then President-elect Bush announced that it "looked like" the economy might be headed for trouble. Wall Street immediately responded to his announcement by taking a nose-dive. Remember when the Dow was over 12,000? Naturally, my 401-K nose-dived in unison with the stock market. Oh, well. What the heck, I've still got social security, right? Well, maybe not, according to Greenspan. Sure hope that Wal-mart can build enough super-centers to employee all us old geezers.

Let's see, a younger brother helps his older brother rig an election so that the older brother can be installed as president. As president, the older brother then systematically loots the country's treasury to reward his friends and benefactors. Does that start to sound like the script for one of those B-movies about an evil banana republic despot?

Two weeks ago, an article in the local newspaper said that the FBI was investigating suspected terrorists right here in good old right wing Republican east Tennessee.

bush, verb:

1) to avoid responsibility, to willingly choose not to participate, i.e., I "bushed" the last presidential election, but this yearI intend to vote. I promise not to "bush" you Saturday morning; I will be there on time.

2) absent without permission, i.e., When my in-laws come by to visit I "bush" them by sneaking out the back door.

3) to lie even in the face of proven facts, i.e., We all saw him steal the money, but when confronted, he "bushed" us and said he was innocent.
