Yes, It Was a Bushmaster.

Dear friends, Yesterday, Larry Bennett, a 16-year old, was shot in the head after he was involved in a minor traffic accident. You probably didn't hear about it because, well, how could he be dead if he wasn't shot by The Sniper? Yesterday, an unidentified woman was shot to death ... continue reading

"Your Children Are Not Safe." Yes, Indeed.

Dear friends, The note from the sniper could not have been more clear: "Your children are not safe, anywhere at anytime." How did snipers get to be so smart? Have truer words amidst such madness been spoken before? "Your children are not safe." And so the parents of the DC ... continue reading

"YOU ARE EITHER WITH US, OR YOU ARE FIRED!"

Dear Friends, I was going to write you a letter about what a pathetic liar George W, Bush is -- but then I figured, hey, why waste your time telling you something you already know! You already know that his planned invasion of Iraq is a ruse meant to distract ... continue reading

September 30th, 2002

US plans for war without Russia, France or China. War on North Korea next? The real goal of war on Iraq. Stop the insanity ! Two congressional Dems argue for arms inspections. Shame, shame, shame. The Chickenhawk Hall of Shame. Unasked questions. The FBI & CIA don't like hearings that ... continue reading

September 27th, 2002

The FBI warned DC was a target for attack. Who wants to be anti-American? Anyone remember the Gulf War Syndrome? Support for war on Iraq drops. The US bombs an Iraqi civilian airport. The Snowy Plover is a terrorist! Can we bomb Ashcroft, too? Saddam harbors al-Qaeda... trust us. We ... continue reading

September 25th, 2002

Senator Byrd keeps fighting Bush. Rumsfeld looks to the strongest of allies: Poland. Will Bush now stop talking to the Saudis? Tony Blair's "dossier" on Iraq. Oil and the tough talk on Iraq. How airplanes translate into WMD. Again and again, blowback works. Former military leaders urge caution on Iraq. ... continue reading

September 23rd, 2002

Do you know where your government is? Bush's manifesto for world dictatorship (or here). Senator Byrd hits the nail on the head. Salman Rushdie weighs in on anti-Americanism. Mark Twain on the loud little handful. The business of making enemies. This time, Israel will strike back if attacked. Thousands protest ... continue reading

Hail Bush: A new Roman empire. Questions on Iraq from a GOP Gongressman. Afghanistan is now tariff free and pipeline friendly. Gulf War II trading cards! Good Cop / Bad Cop at the White House.

September 19th, 2002

Former British Prime Minister (and Carlyle Group member and good friend of Papa Bush) threatens the use of nukes in Iraq. Bush bulldozes his way through Congress, seeking broad powers. A secret war in the Horn of Africa. War on Iraq to cost between $50-$200 billion. Commander of Aussie forces ... continue reading

September 18th, 2002

Oil makes the world go round. Crooks control our "democracy." How George Bush spent his summer vacation. Bush chooses only scientists who agree with him. Cheney and the Cronies in Arms. A Republican recruits minority voters, but is so scared of them, he sends along an NRA security force. Alfred ... continue reading

September 16th, 2002

Bush planned an attack on the Middle East before the 2000 election. He and his oil buddies know what they're getting. The smell of oil is intoxicating. And Cheney's fond memories. Listen to the money talk. Of course, they're already making money. Democrats finally start wondering about the timing of ... continue reading

September 13th, 2002

Bush had no time for "sustainable development," but makes time for African oil. Florida's still trying to figure out "democracy." You will NOT criticize our lawmakers and they do NOT break laws! Breathing the air near Ground Zero. Virginia's death penalty is scrutinized. A retired Marine General speaks out. An ... continue reading

September 12th, 2002

September 9th, 2002

The victims of 9/11 get a warship in the US Navy named in their honor. The US and the UN ignored warnings from a member of the Taliban prior to 9/11. An FBI informant lived with two of the hijackers in 2000, while they attended flight school. Senator Leahy talks ... continue reading

Bush Aides Set Strategy to Sell Policy on Iraq

By Elisabeth Bumiller / The New York Times WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 — White House officials said today that the administration was following a meticulously planned strategy to persuade the public, the Congress and the allies of the need to confront the threat from Saddam Hussein. The rollout of the strategy ... continue reading

September 6th, 2002

Our treasured American Idol will honor the dead on 9/11. In all, about 100 million people voted in the "competition." Eerily similar to another "competition." An American who thinks he's above the law. Bush expands government secrecy. Cheney still won't turn over papers on his energy task force. Does Ashcroft ... continue reading

September 3rd, 2002

Bush's new undersecretary of agriculture is corrupt and his new wildfire watchdog doesn't believe in ecosystems and doesn't care if our endangered animals become extinct. Thank the US: No clean energy! Tony Blair attacks Bush on the environment. Southern justice and the other American Dream. The WTO turns on us! ... continue reading

August 30th, 2002

More Saudis are coming to learn about airplanes and conspiracies abound. On September 11th, we were defended by only 14 jets. And now the Dalai Lama is a terrorist, too. Check out the military career of George W. Bush and why we need enemies. Our new King George. The lies ... continue reading

August 29th, 2002

It's time Congress stopped the FBI probe of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Meanwhile, the Judiciary Committee calls the efforts of the pre-9/11 FBI inept. The Saudis and the US agree on energy, but not Iraq. Rumsfeld says, "Screw you, Allies!" as world leaders urge restraint, while our one strong ally, ... continue reading

August 23rd, 2002

The Bic lighter is back, again. First the forests, now the ocean. Snowcroft won't back down, but don't worry-- Saddam vs. Bush II: Coming in November! Don't cry for me, Henry Kissenger -- now we have Colombia, and didn't we already do this? Maybe we should attack ourselves for supporting ... continue reading

August 22nd, 2002

Bush's answer to forest fires? Cut down the forests. He must not have read this and he probably won't read this. In search of victory, Osama has become Saddam and Saddam is Hitler. Let the war begin! Unleash the PR people! Food is a biological weapon and, if you remember, ... continue reading

August 21st, 2002

An interesting look at the economics of a global empire. In TV Land: All the Middle-East "experts" we know and love come from the same damn places and the Pentagon gets them for free. Also sweet, sweet Bill O'Reilly and something you already knew. War: Those nasty terrorists killed a ... continue reading

August 20th, 2002

U.S. companies sold Iraq the ingredients to make the weapons of mass destruction that "justify" a US invasion. Of course, we didn't mind Iraq using WMD in the Iran-Iraq war--where we funded both sides so they could kill each other. The military's July "war games" were rigged. Sadly, the war ... continue reading
