'Some things are true even if George Bush believes them'
Guardian, UK - 8-5-03
In January last year, the New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman was at
Bagram air base in Afghanistan, preparing to board a plane home, when he
abruptly found himself very personally embroiled in the seething hostilities
between Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell. He had been travelling with Joe
Biden, the senior Democratic senator, and Rumsfeld - apparently out of
political partisanship - had been making things difficult from the start of
the trip. Now, suddenly, the order came from the Pentagon that no civilians
could travel on the military aircraft waiting on the runway.
"I had visions of being stuck in Kabul for days," Friedman writes... |
Blair
does not understand history
Mail & Guardian, South Africa - 8-5-03
Why and how, future historians will surely ask, did such a consummate
politician, possessed of an impregnable parliamentary majority, as well as
intelligence, industry and fundamental decency, get himself into so much
controversy and mess? What went wrong?...
...Much of the British public’s alienation, not just from Blair, but from
politicians in general, stems from a sense that, as one man put it to me:
“We’ve been sold.’’

I have always wondered why Tony Blair
took a hard right turn when Bush wanted to attack Iraq. Blair
knew he had everything to
lose by backing Bush--Blair knew
he would lose his political stature-- his credibility as a statesman-- and who
would hire a liar of such magnitude?
A Republican would.
But the question remains, why did he do
it? What did Bush have on Blair? It had to be of a sexual nature: hence today's
toon. British politicians are always being polaroided in women's clothes while
attending to Brunhilda's super-sized udders. Maybe Tony was tap dancing in his
birthday suit, while his studded collar was tethered to his wife Cherie? One of
those Kodak moments. They do have about 1/2 dozen kids.
You should be glad that I used Dennis
Miller's name in the toon and not Rush Limbaugh. Now that is a disgusting
visual.
Fascinating website-well documented and
fun.

"Fabulosa Condoleezza"
(Sung to the Tune of Nat King Cole's Mona Lisa)
Condoleezza, Condoleezza, Dub adores you.
You're so fine at saying falsehoods with a smile.
Is it cause you're female, Condi, that they've blamed you
For your fabulosa fakery and guile?
Do you smile to tempt the press men, Condoleezza?
Or is this your way to hide your lying art?
Dubya beams when you're brought to his doorstep,
Cause you lie here
While they die there.
Misinformed? Let's get real, Condoleezza.
You're just a cold mendacious gal without a heart.
For the rest of the song go to

My fellow California republicans, the recall will
put a republican in the Governor's Office.
As head of Homeland Security it is my sacred duty to
secure all the votes that aren't republican.

 Death
marches at double in Iraq but US public unaware
By Julian Borger in Washington - Sydney Morning Herald, Australia
August 5 2003
United States military casualties in Iraq are running at more than twice the
number most Americans have been led to believe they are. The public is
largely unaware of a high number of accidents, suicides and other non-combat
deaths.
Since May 1, when President George Bush called an end to combat operations,
52 of his troops have been killed by hostile fire, according to Pentagon
figures...

An old man lived alone in a Village. He wanted
to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who
would have helped him was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son
and mentioned his situation:
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my
potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your
mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up
a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you
would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.
Love,
Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram:
"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the
GUNS!!"
At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers
showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused,
the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and
asked him what to do next.
His son's reply was:
"Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.. It's the best I could do for you
from here.
Ahh, the FBI -- it should be renamed the FBO,
the Federal Bureau of Obfuscation. This is the group that drew the
conclusion to fly the bin Laden family safely back to Saudi Arabia
immediately after 9-11, instead of investigating them.
I just loved this joke. I am going to
forward it to some friends at the Dept of Corrections.
