Is Bill Frist the first ranking Republican(Senate Majority leader) to turn tail and oppose Dubya?
Frist now supports stem cell research that uses embryos.
Frist is one of the first Republicans to make a salvo to gear up for the 2008 election.
Politicians change positions in order to gain popularity or to side with a popular view.
Frist is no different.
More and more Bush is becoming a lame duck.

GLOBAL WARMING
Our big brains will have to boil, bubble and burst before we admit that there is a problem:
Global Warming is real!
It is happening before our eyes!
The temperatures are rising!
The oceans are warming!
The glaciers and ice caps are melting!
The Day After Tomorrow is today.
Although in the movie the temperatures dropped, in the real world they did not.
China does not believe that it needs to worry about CO2 emissions.
Neither does Bush & Co.
Tomorrow is another day, but I bet it will be a hotter one than today.
Put away your mittens and buy tons of sunblock.

KARL ROVER & DICK CHICANERY
The top secret document was helplessly floating in mid-air when multiple reporters simultaneously grabbed the document before it hit the floor, and the reporters then pondered whether to inform the White House (Karl Rover, Dick Chicanery & Others), who already were aware that the document could bring vengeance upon Joseph Wilson for his revelation of the truth about the Niger-Iraq Uranium falsehood…if only these reporters could think of something...Ah, yes...tell the world that Joseph Wilson's wife worked for the CIA...CALL Robert Novak (everybody trusts his word) and have him write a story about Mr. Wilson's CIA spouse.
Gee, did we think of this on our own or did the White House tell us?
Then confuse and contort, disassociate and discombobulate, throw curve balls and dirt balls...say this and that, then say that and this...whirling dervishes! Wolves in sheep's clothing!
(The American public could be fooled once again!)
Then hope that the independent prosecutor will heed some subtle warnings and promises to let the White House have their evil ways again.
(But let George cover our butts if anyone gets in big trouble, because Dubya always gets his way when he lies about anything.)
Time for some pretzels!

INNOCENT CIVILIANS
9,250.
This number is 37% of 25,000.
25,000 is the number of women, men and children who have been killed in the U.S. war in Iraq.
9,250 innocent civilians have been killed by the U. S.-led coalition, according to the Iraq Body Count and Oxford Research Group, a U.K.-based group of academics and peace activists.
Their Dossier on Civilian Casualties in Iraq 2003-2005 reported that 37% of all non-combatant deaths were caused by the U.S.-led coalition.
But according to a project done by the Center for International Emergency, Disaster and Refugee Studies at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Columbia University and the Al-Mustansriya University College in Baghdad, the number of civilians who have been killed is much higher.
100,000.

NATIONAL SHIELD LAW
George W. Bush and the Justice Department do not want a National Shield Law.
Liars want to hide all of their secrets.
To allow the national media to continue to have anonymous sources would be a threat to this bellicose and duplicitous administration.
Bush used Executive Privilege to rescind the 1978 Presidential Records Act.
His own private records, and those of his father, are going to remain secret in perpetuity.
Dictators can’t permit the citizenry to know what they are doing, planning to do or have done.

SUPREME COURT NOMINATION
Bush has come out of his cocoon twice in one day!
Tonight he'll announce the replacement for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connnor.
Two bits says that Bush will nominate a woman for the Supreme Court.
Laura has Bush on a short leash.
Especially after she said that George once had his hand around a horse's member.
This has bolstered Laura's bravado and prestige as First Lady.
The Supreme Court will be another woman.
Thanks to Laura Bush.
OOPS!
I lost two bits.
Wrong horse.
Maybe next time.
BUSH'S BRAIN
If he isn't a leaker, then he can stay,
But if he committed any crime then
He'll have to leave.
My name is Rove &
I'm Bush's brain,
I'm very loath
To be insane.
I'm no leaker &
I'm no streaker,
I'm just a big peeker
Whose smears can get reeker...
Please, let me try,
Let me try.
BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL
It is quite strange and astonishing.
Bush wants freedom and liberty for Iraq.
But U.S. borders are unprotected.
Sure, there is the Border Patrol.
And, I guess, there are some pilotless drones with cameras.
But it is as if Bush & Co want terrorists to come across the border.
To explode some bomb(s)?
I guess a bigger 9-11 would allow their Project for the New American Century to continue.
And allow them to expand their powers.
Keep the populace in a state of terror.
Expand the Patriot Act.
Keep the coffers of the War Machine filled.
And give them justification to bomb Iran.
With nukes.
Bush & Co seem to think that they are BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL.
The world is burning inside of their inferno.

INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE
"Hello. Time magazine. This is Matthew Cooper."
"Hello. Matthew, this is Rove. Karl Rove."
"Hello Mr. Rove. How are the smears going?"
"Well, Matt, that's what I want to talk about. I have a scoop for you."
"Scoop? Or Poop?"
"O.K. It's a poopy scoop. Anyway, here's what I have.
I know the identity of Jospeph Wilson's wife."
"So?"
"Well, she's a CIA agent."
"Oh."
"Yeah. And Joseph Wilson needs his butt spanked for trying to tell the American people the truth about the Niger uranium."
"And?"
"So publish the fact that Wilson's wife is CIA."
"I'll see what I can do. Do I have to keep your name out of this?"
"Yes. But I doubt that we need to worry about any exposure. And the American public is in our pockets for now."
"O.K. Karl. Thanks."
"No problema."

THEY CREATED A NIGHTMARE
The real sham (and shame) of the U.S. pre-emptive war, invasion and occupation of Iraq is that it was a sham from the beginning.
It is becoming more believable (yet still incredible) that Bush & Co knew about the impending attack on September 11, 2001 and did nothing to stop it.
It is becoming more believable (yet still incredible) that the defenses of the nation were put on hold and stopped from defending the Pentagon and the WTC on September 11, 2001.
The shame is that the Bush administration will feel just as fine when they leave this war (for the next generation) as when they attacked.
Because their war profits will have been made for themselves and their corrupt cronies.
But their souls and consciences will feel guilt and pain, even if only on a subconscious-unconscious level (where Bush seems to dwell anyway.)
American taxes paid for this war.
The profits of Halliburton and subsidiaries were misgotten by overcharging and stealing.
This might be the end of the American dream.
A small group of men ended the American dream.
They created a nightmare.

ROVE IS A PREVARICATOR
Bush's brain, Karl Rove, is a big prevaricator.
Alright.
A big liar!
He lied the United States into the Iraq war.
He revealed the identity of a C.I.A. agent (spouse of Joseph Wilson) as payback for Mr. Wilson telling the world that it was not true that Iraq had obtained uranium from Niger.
The entire Bush administration is a big lie.
The truths and lies are now being revealed.
Not only should Rove be removed, but Bush and Cheney should be purged.
These leaders have disgraced America.

Rove, Rove, Rove your boat...
Rove, Rove, Rove
Your boat
Isn’t going
Gently down the stream
But
Merrily, merrily…
Is your life
Going
To become
A nightmare’s scream?

BUSH VISION & UFOS
The large flotilla of UFOS are here to help the president with his vision.
The president recognizes, for example, that his selection of a new Supreme Court Justice is very important.
The UFO flotilla will help him to choose wisely.
The president, as he said, knows that there is Global Warming.
He just doesn't want to worry about it right now.
Let denizens of the year 2100 worry about it.
Maybe those UFOS can help clear the air.
In the meantime, we must continue to get oil from our friends in the Middle East.
(And continue to increase profits in my own stocks!)
The UFOS can also assist in locating Osama bin Laden.
Finally "smoke him out" !
Time for some pretzels.

GOODBYE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
Thank you for feeding the mouth and maw of the growing fascism in America.
You agreed to give protected sources to the courts.
No longer will whistle-blowers or other persons feel safe in "talking".
Information that might help preserve our democracy or help the general health of the nation is not likely to be revealed.
Deep throat has been decapitated.
Time Magazine.
You are a traitor!

QUOTATIONS ON PATRIOTISM
So it is the Fourth of July.
Here are quotations about patriotism.
Let us not give up our resolve to bring to justice the current administration in Washington. Our country deserves to punish those who have stolen the lives of our countrymen, and robbed our national treasury...in order to profit from an illegal, horrible, false war!
"Patriotism ruins history."
Goethe
"My country, right or wrong" is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying "My mother, drunk or sober."
G.K. Chesterton
"Patriotism ... is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit."
Emma Goldman
"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it."
Edward R. Murrow
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." (1918)
Theodore Roosevelt

BLESS THE COWS
Sunlight on a Martian crater.
What an amazing picture!
And how about the hole in the sun that shows a black, starry universe!
Meanwhile, here on earth we have wildfires and wars, celebrity pregnancies and marriages.
Life goes on.
Cows keep chewing their cuds and giving us their precious milk.
O.K. And their red meat.
Bless the cows!
Bless the chickens!
Bless the fish!
Bless the sunlight on a Martian crater!
