Gee, which is worse, holding hands with the Saudis or Fidel?
Blair fails to see humor in Bush's dog-toy gift. In an effort to silence his critics once-and-for-all, a proudly defiant Tony Blair chirps, "I have never been Bush's poodle! At the very least, I am his Doberman."

ensure that people who witness criminal action being committed by the government
are intimidated into remaining silent."

Disturbing News
The Passion of Mel
A day after being busted for drunken driving, Mel Gibson apologized yesterday for getting behind the wheel while "inebriated" and said he was "deeply ashamed" of the "despicable" things he said in an abusive rant to cops... "F------ Jews. Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world," --

Subject: Very good question
The Israelis are still waiting for the Messiah. And right wing Christians are still waiting for Armageddon. Oy vey, give it up, already!
Maybe the question should be -- What isn't religious about these wars?
Bush methodically laid the groundwork for these Holy Wars
Gore v Bush 2000 Debate: Bush -- "Jesus is my favorite political philosopher."
Bush's post 9-11 speech that Muslims around the world heard, too -- "This crusade, this war on terrorism is gonna take awhile."
Pissed off the Middle East/World invading Iraq -- and now Beirut is pretty much demolished while Bush twiddles his thumbs
What's next? Will Bush tell us to prepare for the rapture by giving our worldly goods to our local church?
No wonder our forefathers created the phrase "separation of church and state."
Of course, Mel Gibson did give us a little humor with his Academy Award performance of an inebriated Nazi.
This saga continues...

Democrat Bombs as Comedian
"I enjoy cocaine because it's a fun thing to do. ... I enjoy the company of prostitutes for the following reasons: it's a fun thing to do. ... If you combine the two together it's probably even more fun." --Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.), in an interview with Stephen Colbert (Watch video clip)

Meanwhile, back to Osama
"He made a
similar proposal to the Europeans. He warned them and gave them six
months," Abu Jandal says. "When there was no response, he started with the
Madrid bombing, then London. So I believe Osama bin Laden is planning a
new attack inside the United States. This is certain."
Asked if he is sure Osama is preparing a new attack, Abu Jandal said,
"When Sheikh Osama promises something, he does it."
Abu Jandal hasn't seen bin Laden since the summer of 2000,
but he says there is no question as to where he is hiding: Afghanistan.
'If you're a United States senator, unless you're under indictment or detoxification you can automatically consider yourself a candidate for president of the United States,'"
Sen. John McCain said.
The White House was urged by
conservatives to attack Iran as the Middle East war worsened Friday.
Evangelical preachers are the most upset. Lately when they tell their
congregations that the end is near, it doesn't get the laugh it once did.

Rocks Shocked
As a shock tactic,
a national group that opposes abortion plans to fly a billboard-size
picture of an aborted fetus over Cleveland beginning Monday.
The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, which frequently employs such
attention-grabbing advertising,
hopes to jar people into reconsidering their support of abortion,
director Gregg Cunningham said.
