In the ranks of journalism, they were the coalition of the willing: the newspapers that supported President Bush's decision to invade Iraq in March 2003...."Rumsfeld will have to go," declares an editorial in the Australian, the national daily founded in 1964 by an aspiring young businessman named Rupert Murdoch...

First lady, first sign on Rumsfeld?

US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is likely to resign -- and soon (meaning, before the ... Rather, the tell-tale sign came when first lady Laura Bush spoke ...


This "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" Biblical advice has never worked. Just look at Israel.


"I've stopped reading the newspapers," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told US troops in Iraq on Thursday. The troops in Baghdad applauded and hooted.

So RUMSTUD is encouraging our troops not to be informed about what is going on in the world. How Bushesque...just keep 'em stupid.

“You know, if you look at -- if you, really, if you look at these pictures, I mean, I don't know if it's just me, but it looks just like anything you'd see Madonna, or Britney Spears do on stage.  Maybe I'm -- yeah.  And get an NEA grant for something like this.  I mean, this is something that you can see on stage at Lincoln Center from an NEA grant, maybe on Sex in the City -- the movie.  I mean, I don't -- it's just me.”  --Rush Limbaugh who is obviously still on OxyContin

Subject: My friend Ruth saw Mike Moore's new film, Fahrenheit 9/11 & writes the following

Dear Friends:

Last night I had the privilege of seeing Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 before it and its filmmakers march off to the Cannes Film Festival for what I think will be its triumphant world premiere, and I was so moved and emboldened by the experience of watching it, that I wanted to write all of you and share my excitement.

Because it is passionate without being haughty or condescending, informative without seeming arrogant, the film reaches across the great cultural divide that is destroying our country and positions us - all of us - Democrats and Republicans, urbanites and middle-Americans - against our common enemy-not each other, finally!- but our corrupt, selfish, hateful, unelected government. If you're in my address book, most likely, you will see this movie anyway in the next few months, despite the efforts of the Walt Disney Company (Jim Czarnecki, one of the producers, told me that a new distribution deal is in the works.), but, I believe, it must go beyond us, the few, the converted, and more importantly, it can.

The sincerity of Michael's concern for real people, working people, struggling Americans trying to make ends meet, permeates the film, and it is they, not pundits, who carry his message to the audience. His rallying cry to become active and informed citizens inspired me to send this email. I feel that the film had given me my marching orders, and, I think, it will do the same for others. So, at the risk of seeming too 60's evangelical, I encourage you to reach outside our cultural and political enclaves and embrace other Americans, with whom you may not share the same tastes, and take them to see this movie. Until then, spread the word.

Ruth

POSSIBLY THE VERY BEST "Which came first the Chicken or the egg" JOKE



A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning
against the headboard smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on
its face. The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet and rolls
over and says, "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question!"

Subject: Re: He ain't heavy...he's my brother.

As long as I can remember, I was taught we Americans were different in no small part because we at least tried to be compassionate and humane and to spread freedom. How ironic, then, that we now stand on the world stage exposed and reviled... not because anyone is so blind as to think America has never wronged in the past, but because we now seem so willing to ignore mans' inhumanity to man, to destroy decades of nurturing goodwill and diplomacy around the world. Mark my words, our children, grandchildren (and likely beyond) will reap the fruits seeded by this war. Because of that horrendous day in September, and the subsequent realization of the depth of hatred of those who would resort to terrorism, quite a few Americans have been willing to accept almost any cost to try to recapture life as it was before 9-11. Heaven knows, we would all love to be back in that more innocent time when we hardly glanced u p, except to perhaps decide what animal or object we imagined a cloud resembled. But in the process we can not, must not, let ourselves become what we abhor. If so, the terrorists truly win because we then become exactly what we most fear will destroy us.

I am still trying to find the compassion in conservatives. It seems to be as elusive as those darn WMDs.

I was pleased when John McCain walked out when Sen. Inhofe spewed his venom . If any Senator knows about torture, it is Senator McCain.

Thanks for writing.

The bridge and related highways will provide direct access to container terminals, which will further enhance Hong Kong as an important international logistics and transportation hub.
