You see I look at this headline and wish the "with" wasn't there.

"Three police motorcycle officers were injured when they crashed on slick pavement while escorting his motorcade on Tuesday. Two were taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where one was described as in serious condition and another was described as stable."

"Also, acting White House Travel Office Director Gregg Pitts was beaten and robbed by at least two men while out in Honolulu Monday night. Pitts suffered head and other injuries in the attack. He was awake and alert but remained behind at a Honolulu hospital because of a possible concussion, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said."

HAHAHAHAAA!!!!

At least he didn't execute 152 people while governor of texas, and start an illegal war motivated by greed and racism which resulted in the deaths of countless people.

seriously. what does he mean "we"?

what a complete oblivious jackass.

"So far, only nine Senate Republicans have defected from the administration, and not all of them are prepared to vote with Democrats on a withdrawal.

Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said the Republican leadership is trying to avoid votes on the war.

"They prefer to drag this out as long as possible, and put off the inevitable," Durbin said. "They want to filibuster this debate on the war in Iraq, and do everything they can to drag it out."

Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., said it will take 17 Republicans -- enough to form a two-thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto -- to force Bush to retreat."

the magic number is 17. i'm sure that some of you republicans out there aren't all bad folk, and some of you probably want to see an end to this war, so write to your senator, or call their office, or email them, and tell them either bring the troops home or we'll bring you home.

do not let this asshole off the hook and leave his rotten ass war to the next president, whoever that might be.

He means his corporate pupeteers. Congress is too limp to challenge these criminals and risk upsetting their own sponsors. But thanks for the prompt Jack, as I had been thinking of writing a letter to my "representatives", and now will.

I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat, but I'm sure a line something like "if you want my continued support you'll..." might prick up their ears a little. Not as much as check would, though.

Apparently, the reason we illegally invaded Iraq was to secure oil supplies - so says Dr Brendan Nelson, Australian Minister for Defence.

Funny - I thought we illegally invaded Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction that were capable of attacking the West in 45 minutes. Or was it that Iraq was somehow connected with terrorist attacks on the West. Or did I see that on The Simpson? I forget....

Whatever. The good Dr Nelson was repremanded the next day by Prime Minister John Howard (a.k.a. The lying little cunt)

Write them often. Go and meet them. Attend town hall meetings with them.

I used to be much more active in this regard. Gotta get back to it! Elections are just the beginning of our relationship with these folks. The real impact comes from day-to-day involvement.

I really don't see the humor within your quotations.

1. Duh

2. Here it was never SAID, only implied. CIA chased some dude around Europe, a possible liaison between Iraq & Al Queda. As it turns out, Osama and Saddam hated each other and there was never a deal. There WERE weapons of mass destruction found in IRAQ about a year later. However, most were in poor condition and were probably just a cache everybody, including the former leader of that nation had just forgotten about. Later it was implied that all of those weapons were moved before we got there. Again, never SAID or better yet, never proven.

3. Try and stop us.

That's how I stay up on current events. For real news, I watch John Stewart on the daily show.

Ya know, as simple as it is, I would not have thought to write more than once. I've met local people and (Mass.) state level, but usually as a "oh, I kind of like him/her" meter but not to chase around for action. I think a couple of letters would be appropriate here, though.

It's so easy to feel cynical, and that's no fun. I like it better just being healthily sceptical.

So that half-witted, murderous cocksucker you call a President is coming to Australia in the next few days. No doubt our lying rodent of a Prime Minister will even as we speak be busily lubricating all of his available orifices so he can bend over an receive a bit more "diplomacy".

Keep an eye out though for an encounter in the next few days that may be interesting (I hope anyway). GWB is to meet with our Leader of the Opposition Kevin Rudd to discuss Iraq.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007 ... 020136.htm

We are due for an election very soon - probably December - and Rudd is very, very likely to be our new PM. Leading up to the election, Rudd has been tight lipped up to now about many things - he has been letting the government self-destruct as he stands by and watches.

But a survey released yesterday showed that "‘President George W. Bush’ caused 69% (of Australians) to have an unfavourable opinion of the United States, with ‘US foreign policies’ causing 63% to hold an unfavourable opinion.". Ruddy may just crunch those numbers and think "Right...I'm gunna have a go at this bastard...there's votes in it!" God I hope so. (Though how tough Rudd can actually be, considering he looks like Butters from South Park, it's hard to say)

The good news for Americans from that survey is that Australians like you just as much as we like the Vietnamese (though the Vietnamese do have much better food). The bad news is we don't like you as much as we like New Zealanders. And we know they fuck sheep.

Hmm. Maybe W is looking for some new ranch land. Take him on a tour, Ray. It's too bad that the U.S. reputation is so more deeply tarnished than it ever was. I would like to think that whatever leader takes the reins next will make some effort to not only stop stepping on so many toes, but to stop stomping on the foot as well.

Maybe indeed...and he may have found some. In recent months our Federal Government has been making some very disturbing moves in relation to land tenure in the Northern Territory:

...last year the government passed legislation to amend the Aboriginal Land Rights Act. The explanatory memorandum read: "The principal objectives (of this bill) are to improve access to Aboriginal land for development, especially mining..."
Another amendment to Commonwealth legislation, also passed last year, overrides the Territory's ban on nuclear waste in instances where private landholders offer their land to the Federal government.
...the US wouldn't be in the market for a nuclear waste dump, would it?
