"In his
new book, President Bush's former press secretary said that Bush has a lack of
inquisitiveness. Yeah. When he heard this, Bush said, 'I don't know what he's
saying, and I don't care.'" --Conan O'Brien

So, How's the Militarization of the CIA Going?
In an interview with the Washington Post last week, CIA Director Michael Hayden claimed we're beating al-Qaeda. As Hayden put it: "Near strategic defeat of al-Qaeda in Iraq. Near strategic defeat of al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia."
I'll defer to Hayden on
Saudi Arabia, but when it comes to Iraq, Hayden betrayed his belief in the
neo-con lie
that
Iraq was one of al-Qaeda's bases before the 2003 invasion and still is today.
Can no one drive a stake into a lie that suckered us into a war we didn't need?
"McCain's doctor said Senator McCain is decades younger than his age. But then, so is President Bush, who is, what, in his early 60s? But he has the mind of a 12-year-old." --Jay Leno

"Speaking of President Bush, yesterday -- this is true -- during a speech, President Bush said that his economic stimulus package is working, because when people use extra money to buy a machine, that creates jobs at 'the machine-making place.' Yeah. Then Bush introduced his new speech writer, a 6-year-old boy named Timmy." --Conan O'Brien

Subject: to Hillary supporters
hi, Lisa,
i just watched Obama's acceptance speech and was literally moved to tears. i
have to ask Hillary's supporters to please think long and hard about the threat
some have made to vote for McCain if she's not the nominee. Please don't throw
your country and the planet under a bus because your candidate didn't win the
battle. The war is the most important contest and we need you all. No one who
believes in what the Democratic party stands for can possibly in good conscience
vote for someone who is diametrically opposed to what we believe to be right and
good. if you wouldn't vote for Bush, i beg you not to vote for McCain. for all
intents and purposes, they are one and the same. they both represent and embrace
the views and beliefs of a party that does not have the best interest of
American citizens at heart. Barack Obama is the best hope for a brighter future
for ourselves and our children.
This is not a personality contest, it's a job interview. If you voted for
Hillary because she's a woman, you voted for the wrong reason. if you refuse to
support Obama because Hillary didn't win, that is the most serious form of
cutting off your nose to spite your face, and we will all suffer for it if he
loses. this is the most crucial election of our time. the very survival of our
species may depend on it. the battle is over, now we must win the war.
hugs,
Kathy

Obama will be in limbo until he kisses and makes up with Hillary.
I agree with you, the Democrats must unite and now is the time for its new leader, Obama, to do just that, lead to unite the party.
Thanks for writing.
"And over the weekend, Barack Obama left his church. And after, he said to Hillary, 'O.K., now it's your turn to quit something.'" --Jay Leno
