Who's Sorry Now?
Washington Post, DC - 5-6-04
Will President Bush ever say he's sorry -- about anything?
Yesterday, all sorts of people who work for Bush apologized for the horrific
abuse of Iraqi prisoners at a U.S.-run prison. Press secretary Scott
McClellan even apologized on Bush's behalf.
But the president himself? No way...

VA buys drugs cheaply, many veterans benefit
Medicare? Since the VA gets the best prices on
medicines, the Bush administration is being urged to adopt a VA-style program
for Medicare.
Baltimore Sun
Hi, Lisa...
Now, why can't Medicare do the same thing for seniors and disabled people? The
VA system is great, if you're in the system. But, that's the rub. Many vets are
not and the VA doesn't fill 'scripts from civilian doctors. Overall, though,
it's a very good system that has treated me well and I have many medications
that I absolutely need that I probably couldn't afford, otherwise. I am very
grateful...

Subject: Re: Ted Rall's Cartoon
Lisa,
As always, I love your site, but I wish you had stood by Ted Rall's cartoon.
While most U.S. soldiers may be courageous and decent, the word "heroes" sticks
in my craw, too. They are, in Donovan's old phrase, giving their bodies as
weapons in an unjust war, and I cannot applaud that. Their courage, yes -- but
their wisdom, no.
Remember the old line, "What if they gave a war and nobody came?" Or Lennon's
"War Is Over (If You Want It)? Well, stopping this war requires informed
citizens who have the courage not to participate. The fact that Tillman made
the ultimate sacrifice does not change that.
--
Peace Now,
DamnRebel
The cartoon ought to be seen within the
context of the media frenzy taking place extolling Ray Tillman as a "hero."
Since the cartoon presents newspaper writers pondering the right description for
Ray Tillman, the barb is aimed at them as well as at Tillman.
Rall suggests that rather than being a "hero" Tillman was (at least) a fool to
have allowed himself to be used in a US war of aggression in which he may well
have contributed directly to needless civilian deaths. If Tillman is known to
have made comments about going to "kill Arabs" that makes his decision not
foolish, but reprehensible.
Bob Schwartz
Thank you both for
writing.
I could not find any info
where Tillman said he wanted to kill Arabs.
I still find the cartoon
tasteless but I am not for banning or censoring Rall anymore than I am for
banning Michael Moore's documentary.
I love freedom of speech
and I am going to continue using it until Bush takes it away.

"I apologize." Bush just won't say,
"I apologize." George Bush? No way!
There's a trail of failures caused by Dub.
He won't say, "I'm sorry." There's the rub.

Unforgivable, in every way.

Lisa, My Dodge 1/2 ton cargo van was made in
Canada. Same for the Chevy van before it. We were looking to buy one of those
neat PT Cruisers a while back. They are made in Mexico.
At least my Nissan Altima was made in Kentucky....or was it Tennessee and my
son's Toyota was made in the USA.
God Bless Japa---er America!

My 1977 Chrysler Cordoba
with the Corinthian leather was made in Canada. I loved that car.
I wonder where my current

It was made in Japan.

Bush To Toughen Cuba Policies
CBS News - 5-6-04
President Bush, declaring "we are working for the day of freedom
in Cuba," took steps Thursday to end jamming of U.S. broadcasts to the island as
part of a tough new strategy to hasten the demise of communist rule.
Mr. Bush decided to order deployment of military aircraft to transmit signals of
the Miami-based Radio Marti and TV, an effort to end Cuba's jamming of U.S.
government broadcasts...
I wonder if Bush plans on
invading Cuba next?
