Bush heckler gets canned
CHARLESTON, W.VA. - Freedom of speech clearly has its costs, a West Virginia man has found.
The 35-year-old - who heckled President Bush at a political rally - was fired from his job at an advertising and design company for offending a client who provided tickets to the event.
"I'm mad less about losing the job - I'm more mad about the reasons," Glen Hiller, of Berkeley Springs, said yesterday. "All I did was show up and voice my opinion."
Hiller was ushered out of a high school Tuesday after shouting his disagreement with Bush's comments about the war in Iraq and the search for weapons of mass destruction. The crowd had easily drowned out Hiller with its chant: "Four more years."
When he showed up for work at Octavo Designs of Frederick, Md., the following morning, Hiller - a father of two - said he was told he had embarrassed a client - and was fired. The company did not return calls yesterday.

Friends don't let friends think republican,,

From the comments screen of georgemustgo.blogspot.com comes this gem of analysis on the idea of using Max Cleland in an ad for Kerry by the resident republican:

"Cleland would have been perfect. Poor old pitiful Max. That's it the sympathy vote will put us over the top! But he doesn't have a leg to stand on, does he? Let's see, Max's greatest moments: "I'm qualified to be a Senator because I stupidly mishandled a grenade on the way to get a beer." Or, "we should turn the homeland defense over to the government employee union." Yes, another fine specimen from the democrat gene pool."

That is why you should vote for Kerry. Make sure your friends know how some of those people think.

A new republican amendment we can support!

Having failed to pass the Anti gay marriage amendment, and having not bothered with an anti abortion amendment (even thought they control both houses and the executive branch,,, strange they didn't try that) I suggest the republicans should now try to combine thier efforts and pass the Anti Gay Abortion Amendment. Under this proposal, gays could not seek an abortion, except in cases of rape or incest; Remember friends, gay abortion is a threat to traditional abortion in the country!

Damn, Rick James is dead. That is super freaky.

It occurs to me..

that our little blog is now two years old,,,thanks to Brook who got it started. I don't know how many folks still check this thing, but I hope it is able to continue for some time to come. Happy Birthday!

Has Bush Finally Spoke the Truth????

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

-"President" Bush, 8/5/04

So as I read it, the Bush regime never stops thinking of ways to harm our county. Ya know, that sorta makes sense of the last 4 years...

Also in the recent days, a group of Bush supporters showed up at a rally that Teresa Heinz-Kerry was speaking at and began chanting "Four more years, four more years." The future first lady began a chant that drowned them out of "Three more months, three more months" I like that.

All is well! Remain calm!

Bush Insists Economy Is on 'Rising Path'
By DEB RIECHMANN

"GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - The federal deficit is at a record high and economic growth has slowed, but President Bush is insisting on the campaign trail that the U.S. economy is on a ``rising path.'' In his weekly radio address Saturday, which he taped Friday while on a stop in Michigan, Bush worked to convince voters that the economic rebound is not stalling."
