Terrorists in our midst,,,, part deux
Yesterday Bush made the comment that Kerry could debate himself. Hmmm, at least then he would have some competition!
But I want to talk about Cat Stevens (AKA Yousef Islam.) As we learned from previous posts he has barred from entry into the US last week because he is on the terrorist watch list. Now some would argue that the guy that wrote “Peace Train” (not to be confused with blues master Screamin’ Blind Joe Godsey’s “Peace Train Woman”, but that’s a different story) has no business being on a terrorist watch list. Some would say this is further proof that Ashcroft is out of control.
I say we give Ashcroft and company the benefit of the doubt here.
What I want to know is why Stevens was allowed into the White House 2 months ago to allegedly meet with Bush’s “Faith based charities” team. That’s right gentle readers, this incident is proof of the Bush administrations collusion with terrorists! I guess next Bush will have Bin Laden over for BBQ and to catch the race on Sunday afternoon, or invite Al-queda to the Kennedy Center Awards.
Write your Congressperson and demand to know why Bush is in collusion with terrorists!

A faith based post
"WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican National Committee acknowledged this week that it distributed campaign literature in West Virginia and Arkansas warning voters that liberals want to ban the Bible.
When reporters asked about the mailings on Sept. 17, RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie said he wasn't aware of the material and did not confirm that it was distributed by the GOP. However, Gillespie said it ``could be the work'' of the party.
Contacted Friday by The Associated Press, party spokeswoman Christine Iverson said the GOP had already acknowledged it was the source of the mass mailings."
I just have one thing to say the the folks that put this out....
YOU LIARS BETTER REPENT!
My Bible says, right in the Book of Exodus, "Thou shalt not bear false witness." Has anyone at the RNC ever even read the Ten Commmandments?? Lying is a sin. It's in the Bible. You have said the liberals want to ban the Bible. That is a lie. You are liars. Repent you sins and make yourselves right with the Lord.
You want a dirty campaign? Fine! But you have crossed the line into blasphemy and now your souls are at stake. You need to repent and read what the Bible says about the lies you are spreading. It is pretty darn clear what a Christian should do, and bearing false witness is not acceptable. Ya know Republicans, it is the Ten Commandments, not the Ten Suggestions. Have you read them???
For the record I don't think one should use his or her faith to sell a political position or product, and that is not what I am trying to do here. Vote for who ever you want to, but don't be telling lies about your opponent. But I do think most people, knowing that you would lie about faith, will recognize that you will lie about anything. You need to repent, change your ways and bear no more false wittness.

Hello Everybody!
Sorry it has taken so long to write, but things have been busy at the firm and Brook and not Tony have been taking all the good ideas and running with them (much like this sentence) before I had a chance to.
I imagine some are wondering my position on Britney's alleged wedding. Truth is, I don't have one. If she wants to keep playing out these fantasies of hers there is little I can do, but I won't be an enabler and lead her to believe that there is ever a chance of her with me. For the last time Britney, it’s just never going to happen. Please give up these childish attempts to win my affections. You need to grow up. Remember: you’re not a girl, not yet a woman.
Not to flog a dead horse about Vietnam, but when the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush were running their ads, did anyone else think of Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a Redneck” jokes? I keep having his voice ringing in my ears saying :
“If you think four months in Alabama is more dangerous than four months in the Me Kong delta,,,,, You might be a republican.....”
or;
“If you think lying about a blue dress is worse than lying about weapons of mass destruction, you might be a republican!”
Anyone else have any suggestions? Or would you prefer a new Haiku contest??
1000 dead now

Bite me George. Bite me.

'San Francisco Gate' columnist Mark Morford is almost always a good read. His cynical wit just slays me, but his recent column was more on the sad and resigned side.

Hey everybody!
Sorry for being gone so long but it feels good to be back, got my snark engine refilled, etc etc,,, Marilyn says hi!.
Anyway, today I wanna talk about superscripts and IBM seletrics.
CBS has recently come forth with with document proporting to confirm that Boy George was a deserting coward. Rightwing loonies all over the net swarmed onto these documents to offer thier opinions that they were forgeries (and how that is different from anything the Swift Boat Veterans For Bush did is beyond me...) Anyway, thier whiney ass crys of fraud center on two things, a raised "th" called a superscript, and that the type face (Times-News Roman.) These folks would have us beleive that although the IBM Selectric was availible with supersripting at the time, it was not in use by the government. That seems strange, since the documents from 1968 released by the White House to confirm Bush didn't desert earlier this year, typed and signed by the same guy from the same base, also have a raised superscript, and that was 3 years earlier. Yep, you heard that right, the repubs would have us beleive that documents produced 3 years earlier would have more advanced technology than in 1971.
The other main "proof" they offer is that the type font, times-news roman, was not availible in 1971. The folks that hold the copyright on that particular font have pointed out though that it was first used in 1931, a full 40 years earlier.
No wonder the deficit is swelling, these folks just ain't good with numbers.
By the way, each person should give to the Florida releif effort as they are able.
