Heads Up... from Michael Moore
Friends,
I have never seen a head so far up a Presidential ass (pardon my Falluja) than the one I saw last night at the "news conference" given by George W. Bush. He's still talking about finding "weapons of mass destruction" -- this time on Saddam's "turkey farm." Turkey indeed. Clearly the White House believes there are enough idiots in the 17 swing states who will buy this. I think they are in for a rude awakening.

For the President Only
Declassified and Approved for Release, 10 April 2004
Here is a PDF of the actual document, marked "For the President Only" and dated "6 August 2001." Read it for yourself. Read it again. I don't see how any warning about the impending attack could have been clearer or more explicit than what I read here.

All the President's Suckers
Flip-flopping is the last stage of trusting Bush.
"The [Democratic] candidates are an interesting group, with diverse opinions: For tax cuts, and against them. For NAFTA, and against NAFTA. For the Patriot Act, and against the Patriot Act. In favor of liberating Iraq, and opposed to it. And that's just one senator from Massachusetts."
I laughed the first time I heard President Bush tell that joke. Then, as he told it again and again, I began to think I'd heard it before. Not from Bush, but from somebody else. Finally I remembered: It's the litany Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich kept repeating in the Democratic presidential primaries.

Remarks by the President to the Press Pool
11:25 A.M. MST
THE PRESIDENT: I need some ribs.
Q Mr. President, how are you?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm hungry and I'm going to order some ribs.
Q What would you like?
THE PRESIDENT: Whatever you think I'd like.
Q Sir, on homeland security, critics would say you simply haven't spent enough to keep the country secure.
THE PRESIDENT: My job is to secure the homeland and that's exactly what we're going to do. But I'm here to take somebody's order. That would be you, Stretch -- what would you like? Put some of your high-priced money right here to try to help the local economy. You get paid a lot of money, you ought to be buying some food here. It's part of how the economy grows. You've got plenty of money in your pocket, and when you spend it, it drives the economy forward.
So what would you like to eat?

48 Millionen für Berater seit Amtsantritt Schröders
Knapp 48 Millionen Euro für 361 Berater seit Beginn der Amtsübernahme Gerhard Schröders: So viel hat die Bundesregierung bis Frühjahr 2003 für externe Berater ausgegeben. Die Zahlen gab die Regierung bereits am 13. Mai 2003 bekannt - in einer Antwort auf eine entsprechende parlamentarische Anfrage der Opposition.
Anlässlich des Wirbels um die millionenschweren Beraterverträge der Bundesagentur für Arbeit wollen es CDU und CSU nun noch genauer wissen und verlangen von der Bundesregierung, alle Ausgaben für externe Experten offen zu legen.

Kampfanzug in der Provinz oder Grüzi in Davos
Besondere Ereignisse müssen besonders gewürdigt werden: Die Metropole des Oberaargaus bekam heute gleich doppelten Besuch,Zum einen wurden Demonstranten erwartet, die gegen das Kapitalistenfest im Mammondorf Davos protestieren wollten. Zum anderen fuhren Polizeigrenadiere in voller Kampfmonitur ein und bewachten die beiden Grossbanken Credit Suisse und UBS - es wäre ja möglich gewesen, dass da unter den Demonstranten auch Bankräuber gewesen wären.

I’ll Be Voting For Wesley Clark / Good-Bye Mr. Bush — by Michael Moore
Many of you have written to me in the past months asking, "Who are you going to vote for this year?"
I have decided to cast my vote in the primary for Wesley Clark. That's right, a peacenik is voting for a general. What a country!
I believe that Wesley Clark will end this war. He will make the rich pay their fair share of taxes. He will stand up for the rights of women, African Americans, and the working people of this country.

Paris for President
Despite the nasty fallout over her adult home video, Paris has emerged even more popular than before. She's become America’s new sweetheart with her new sitcom, The Simple Life. The woman could turn Watergate into a fundraiser. The show's producers are dying to get the Hilton heiress to sign on for a sequel. Will her sidekick Nicole Ritchie be involved? No. Did that end their friendship? Naw. Paris got mad diplomatic skillz.

Madonna: Let's get rid of Bush
I am writing to you because the future I wish for my children is at risk. Our greatest risk is not terrorism and it's not Iraq or the "Axis of Evil." Our greatest risk is a lack of leadership, a lack of honesty and a complete lack of consciousness.
Madonna isn't a particularly prolific blogger. In fact we don't recall her ever posting anything directly to her web site before.
