Travesty of Justice
New York Times - By Paul
Krugman 6-15-04
...First, there's the absence of any major successful
prosecutions. The one set of convictions that seemed fairly significant —
that of the "Detroit 3" — appears to be collapsing over accusations of
prosecutorial misconduct. (The lead prosecutor has filed a whistle-blower
suit against Mr. Ashcroft, accusing him of botching the case. The Justice
Department, in turn, has opened investigations against the prosecutor.
Payback? I report; you decide.)

"This week the Bush
administration begins testing a new program called 'The Registered Travels
Program' which allows people to avoid long security lines at airports by paying
an extra fee and agreeing to a background check. Boy that's a great idea, a
separate line for rich people! It's hard to believe the Republicans came up with
that. I'm stunned." -Jay Leno
Did Limbaugh
cheat on ANOTHER wife?
By Jackson Thoreau - DC Indymedia
…Here’s
a conservative who often harps on "family values," who once called himself "your
epitome of morality of virtue, a man you could totally trust with your wife,
your daughter, and even your son in a Motel 6 overnight." Then he goes through
almost as many wives as the Gabor sisters did husbands, admits he watches
pornography and doesn’t even father a child….

people were arrested for pretending to be journalists. I'll tell you, this has

I often think that with all the
sanitized news coming out of Iraq
and with all the movies showing "the good guys" always winning
and with no real perception of what war is really like, Americans are
left to imagine what is going on in Iraq. Here's a Korean reporter's view
that may help you better understand what our troops have to put up with daily.

"According to a new poll, 53
percent of Americans say the war in Iraq was not justified. The other 47 percent
say, 'There's a war in Iraq?'" —Jay Leno

"The State
Department released a memo saying that terrorism has gone down. And so it turns
out the only reason they released that statement was because of a mathematical
error. Apparently terrorism hasn't really gone down at all. It was only released
because of a mathematical error. Mathematical error? Isn't that how Bush became
president in the first place?" -David Letterman

Lisa,
Your lead picture caption for today's (June 14) issue says.........."I need some
uplifting news from home, Sarge. This war is hell."
The poignancy of the caption is lost unfortunately because the two "American"
looking men in the picture are not soldiers. They are most likely private
security contractors from KHAKI who are being paid HUGE salaries by Halliburton,
General Electric, and other profiteering companies in Iraq.
I read your page as often as possible. Humor is hard to find these days.

Hi, Lisa, as much as I hate to defend Barbara Bush, the suit she wore
at the funeral service was a summer mourning color, so she did comport
to Miss Manners and Emily Post-for once. Keep up the good work!

I wonder why Babs was the only
woman in attendance to do so? I would have worn black to a president's funeral.
Thanks for writing.
