Bush Is Afraid of T-Shirts
President Bush's speech
at the state capitol in Charleston, W.Va., on Independence Day in 2004, invoked
the nation's highest ideals: "On this Fourth of July, we confirm our love of
freedom, the freedom for people to speak their minds. ... Free thought, free
expression, that's what we believe," Bush told the crowd.
Ringing words.
Unfortunately, the White House advance team didn't get the memo. Or the message.
More than an hour earlier, the advance officials, working with local police,
had confronted and ejected a young couple who had come to the speech wearing
T-shirts that fit any reasonable definition of free expression.
Disturbing News
"Chris Wallace got Karl Rove's Sunday morning talk
show tour going [on screen: FNC's Wallace saying, 'Let's take a look at some of
Karl Rove's greatest hits']. Ohh, I just bought that on K-Tel! 'Karl Rove's
Greatest Hits,' including 'John McCain's Black Baby,' 'Max Cleland: The
One-Limbed Pussy,' 'The Queers Are Coming,' and, of course, 'Schiavo-A-Go-Go.'
No need to call now, your phones have already been tapped." --Jon Stewart

Lisa:
I examine All Hat No Cattle every day and I fully agree that George Bush is
insane.
However when people like you make statements such as:
"I know how you feel about your children and the draft. I have a 21 year old who
will graduate next June with a double major, Chinese and Criminology. I sure
don't want him to be drafted either. I believe Americans would reject any draft
talk, heck, most Americans are against the war."
I can only wonder how you don't understand that you have the right the freedom
to publish your views ONLY because some people have been drafted (others joined)
to fight, suffer and die for you.
While this current operation is unjustified and stupid (and,, by the way, it's
NOT a war dear, it's an operation, just check the military dispatches, they call
it "Operation Enduring Freedom") and is tearing this country apart, there is
still a necessity for us to have an army to combat enemies.
If your son won't serve, then he's a coward pure and simple. Anyone who is able
bodied and does not serve a minimum time in the defense of his country is a
coward. No matter how much his "mommy" cries.
Sincerely
John

Hello John,
Thank you for your service to our country, especially in Vietnam.
Yes, I did say. "I know how you feel about your children and the draft. I have a
21 year old who will graduate next June with a double major, Chinese and
Criminology. I sure don't want him to be drafted either. I believe Americans
would reject any draft talk, heck, most Americans are against the war."
I don't want any one to be drafted into the military. I want people to make
their own choices. I do like the idea about serving your country though. And we
should create many ways to do that. Example: Costa Rica will pay for educating a
teacher for free, except they must teach for a minimal amount of time in return.
Costa Rica has a 98% literate population. 2ND in the world when I last looked.
I am curious as why you would take a cheap shot at my son.
My son has 3 years of ROTC under his belt. Won their highest award for bravery
-- he saved a person from drowning. He is on a 75% scholarship at college and
has already been contacted by a variety of govt' agencies. He's leaning towards
military Intel. "Mommy" as you call me, has never "cried" that my son would want
to serve his country. I am proud that he would want to serve his country and
hopefully he will fill the place of one of those right wing nut cases that think
Jesus looks great with a gun. And he's not a Democrat, he's a conservative
Independent.
You may not think it's a war, but point your complaint to George, who called
himself, the War President. It's just semantics anyway. People are dying in Iraq
because of George.
Remember, John, this is a comedy site and my opinions are sometimes funny and
sometimes serious, but all are meant to make us laugh and think.
Take care.

Why I No Longer Get Excited When Bush Cronies Quit

Bush spinmeisters keep coming back:
First Karen returned. What a hack!

Spreading war lies and fear.
Guess they don’t really leave; they just pack.

"I
guess it's no wonder that a poll out this summer put 'None of the Above' over
all of the other Republican candidates. And if 'None of the Above' does get the
Republican nomination, you know two things will happen: a) the Democrats will
find a way to lose to him, and b) Bush will try to call and congratulate him."

George Bush Meets Graham Greene
In his speech linking Vietnam and Iraq, the president cited Greene's 1955

But who is the "naive" one? And who has "noble motives"?

Subject: Bush family legacy
Lisa -
Stealing is a Bush family value, eh? Whether it be
elections or oil or our civil rights.
Let's not forget brother Neil and the Silverado Savings and Loan scandal. What
he's done since doesn't seem all that upstanding.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Bush
I continue to mention your site to everyone I talk to and have a link to it in
my otherwise non-political blog. Keep up the great work.
Dave
Thanks Dave! I was wondering what Neil had been up to so I Googled him and found
this:
Prominent Bush
fundraisers who had not contributed to any presidential candidate through the
first half of 2007 included professional golfer Ben Crenshaw of Austin;
Pittsburg chicken magnate Lonnie "Bo" Pilgrim; Dallas philanthropist Nancy G. Brinker, founder of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and former
ambassador to Hungary; and
first brother Neil Bush, a Houston education software entrepreneur. His ex-wife,
Sharon, donated $250 to Romney.

to this, according to U.S. intelligence, they say Iraq Prime Minister Maliki is
an ineffective leader" that "is...unable to work with his cabinet, lacks
authority with the population, has poor communication skills -- no, wait a
