Press review: Kerry's Super Tuesday win |
Q&A:
John Kerry, the challenge ahead |
Congratulations to John Kerry. Hopefully he will clean up the mess Bush has created.
"If George Bush wants to make national security the central issue of 2004, I have three words that I know he understands -- Bring. It. On." -- Sen. John Kerry in his victory speech on Super Tuesday.

I have been checking out your webpage for a little while now - lots of
good stuff, links and ha-ha's. (And you are a major babe, too. More photos
of you won't hurt the site's popularity.) I don't know how you keep
sifting through all of the news and not get really depressed or pissed off.
This one was on the local news last night, and I thought you might like
to see it. I was very pleased to learn that the gummint's cost cutting
will not affect support for the gas guzzlers that have such an effect on our
national security.

Hang tough and keep laughing.

Yes, the news does depress me but truckloads of prozac helps. Haha
I am familiar with the link you sent. It is just another tax cut for the rich and their huge SUVs

Revelations and Explanations

AJ: He put on a symposium a few years ago that made headlines in major
newspapers, in Portugal. We had one of those articles posted. And it says,
"Portugal-based investigative journalist has presented The News, with the
version of the September 11th attacks that has to-date failed to attract the
attention of the international press. The report, compiled by the independent
inquiry into the September 11th World Trade Center attack, warns the American
public that the government's official version of the events does not stand up to
scrutiny."...
The reactionary right-wingers call me a
"liberal":
I refuse to pretend that racism and sexism no longer exist, so
they call me a liberal.
I don't believe that "market forces" are some magical panacea, so they call me a
liberal.
I don't believe cutting the military from being able to blow up the world 10
times over down to only 8 times over is a bad thing, so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe "family" means a man ruling over a wife and kids, so they call
me a liberal.
I don't believe that money magically trickles down from the rich, so they call
me a liberal.
I don't believe giving a mother food stamps to feed her kids is a waste of
money, while buying the air force a billion dollar bomber it doesn't want isn't,
so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe cutting the taxes of the rich helps the poor, so they call me a
liberal.
I don't believe Rush Limbaugh has "talent on loan from God", so they call me a
liberal.
I don't believe that the profit motive creates virtue in people, so they call me
a liberal.
I don't believe that "might makes right", so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe the government should control women's reproductive choices, so
they call me a liberal.
I don't believe that single mothers are necessarily bad parents, so they call me
a liberal.
I don't believe only northern Europeans have culture, so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe a union worker making $17/hr is overpaid while a CEO making $1
million/year is not, so they call me a liberal.
I refuse to ignore the long history of oppression, so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe teaching children about cultural diversity is wrong, so they
call me a liberal.
I don't believe the only good jobs are ones where someone else is skimming off a
profit, so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe Americans are inherently superior to other nationalities, so
they call me a liberal.
I don't believe homosexuals are evil, so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe non-Christians are evil, so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe liberals are subhuman monsters, so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe that things are black-and-white, so they call me a liberal.
I don't believe their lies, so the reactionaries call me a liberal.
The more they talk, the more being called liberal sounds like a compliment.

"Well, five months ago, on Labor Day, President Bush took a
bold step toward dealing with the hemorrhaging of manufacturing jobs during his
presidency. He said he would appoint a -- quote -- 'manufacturing czar"'--
unquote. OK, so that's what passes for bold under Mr. Bush on the economy.
But what's worse is that, five months later, he still hasn't even kept that
phony-baloney promise. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York notes that, since Mr.
Bush made that promise, we have lost another 225,000 manufacturing jobs here in
America.
Now, Mr. Bush likes to portray himself as a straight shooter. This is one more
example, though, that, for Mr. Bush, the WMDs are his own whoppers of massive
dimensions.
Or, as we say in Texas, Mr. President, please don't pee on my boots and tell me
it's raining." - Paul Begala on Crossfire
