TRAVERSE CITY, MI. (IWR News Parody) -- President Bush today distinguished his Stalinesque* vision for American from that of the Kerry campaign.  "Unlike that flip flopping Lurch, we stand for something.  We will bury him in November," said Mr. Bush as he pounded his shoe on the podium.

Republican Shenanigans


“The problem with a suck-up press for Democrats is that with no adversary press to call them on it, Democrats develop wilder and wilder Walter Mitty fantasy lives until finally one day, when they are at the zenith of their political careers, someone notices that they're not Irish, they didn't deserve their war medals, 254 Swift Boat veterans hate them, and they didn't spend Christmas Eve, 1968, in Cambodia. (Or that they are white-trash serial molesters and unrepentant rapists who somehow talked their way into an Arkansas governorship.)”  -- Ann Coulter, crazed anorexic right winger

New biography looks at US Vice-President Cheney with critical eye
Alaska Highway News, Canada -- Aug 17, 2004

Nichols writes: "It is not the practice of Nelson Mandela to speak ill of other prominent players on the world stage, but he will make an exception for Dick Cheney."


Cheney as a congressman was isolated in the "Less Than 10 Club," Nichols says.
Among 435 representatives, he was one of four to vote against the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988, a plastic gun measure; one of eight who opposed the Older Americans Act in 1987, a nutrition program; one of eight who, the same year, voted against reauthorization of the Clean Air Act; one of nine who opposed a plan to grant federal employees time off to care for sick relatives.


Along with Cheney's voting record, Nichols details Cheney's Vietnam draft deferments; he also notes Cheney's compensation by Halliburton Corp. and the billions in government contracts his former company received. Though Nichols has covered Cheney as a reporter and spoken with him briefly on occasion, the author says his aim was a book "grounded in the official record and news reports."

Texas Children Home After African Odyssey

Reuters -- Wed Aug 18, 2:41 AM ET

Seven Texas children were recovering on Tuesday after surviving for 10 months in a Nigerian shack when their adoptive mother abandoned them, child welfare authorities said on Tuesday.

What is it with Texas women? They run over their husbands with their Mercedes, they drown their kids or stone them to death because God told them to …. it must be the drinking  water.


Odd News


They say blondes have more fun, but redheads will have the edge on Sunday when they get into London Zoo for free to view a rare new-born ginger-colored monkey. The endangered southeast Asian monkey, called Laa Laa, has typical baby orange fur that will turn a glossy black in six months. (London Zoo)

Peace.
