Ovation for Moore's 'Fahrenheit' lasts longer than Bush dawdled
Chicago Sun Times, IL - 5-19-04
BY
ROGER EBERT FILM CRITIC. CANNES, France --CANNES,
France -- Two questions involving the duration of events: (1) So how long,
exactly, was the standing ovation for Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11"? And
(2) Did President Bush actually remain in a Florida classroom, reading from
My Pet Goat, for seven minutes after he was informed of the second attack on
the World Trade Center? |

Factory Bush Touted Closes; 1,300 Ohioans Jobless
Last April, President Bush visited a Timken Company manufacturing plant in Ohio
to press for passage of new tax cuts that he said would spur the economy. During
the speech Bush said that "the future of this company is bright and therefore,
the future of employment is bright for the families that work here"1.
Less than a year after the tax cuts for the wealthy passed, that same factory is
shutting down -- putting about 1,300 people out of work2 and
inflicting a "devastating" blow to the Canton community3. With the
White House pushing even more tax cuts for the wealthy4 and
supporting outsourcing of American jobs5, Ohio has lost more than
200,000 manufacturing jobs since President Bush took office6.
Of course, one person who will not be feeling the pain of the President's
economic policies is W.R. "Tim" Timken - a top Bush fundraiser and the man who
decided to shut down the factory. Having earned more than $2.6 million last
year, Timken stands to receive $59,000 in new tax breaks from President Bush
this year7 - Timken also happens to have raised $600,000 for the
President in one night8. By contrast, 89% of Ohio residents will
receive less than $100 by 2006 from the latest Bush tax cuts9.

Hi Lisa,
On CNN's "Crossfire" today, Robert Novak (the miserable little
traitorous garden troll) actually said: "I'm a realist, not a partisan
hack." When I heard that, I almost fell off the stairmaster at the
gym. You know how you can tell when Novak is doing a right-wing
hatchet job? You can see his lips (and his wooden teeth) moving!
Keep the faith,
Doug
It is a disgrace that Novak is still on CNN. And
it is a bigger disgrace that he won't buy false teeth that fit.
