international / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Sunday September 11, 2005 03:28 by cleaves
From bad to worse is the new sub-text slogan for Bush and his administration. Appearing on US media, flanked by Cheney, Rumsfeld and numerous other (wooden) neo-cons, Bush repeated his rehearsed lines – “we are problem solvers”. This statement met with numerous reporters clearing their throats; the problem is Bush and his inept administration. The emperor is not only without clothes but is also devoid of ability.

"And then right in front of the destroyed tennis court I used to play on Dick Cheney was giving a pep rally, talking to the press. The Secret Service guys patted us down and waved the wands over us, and then let us pass." As he stood about 10 feet away from Cheney and his friend and some camera operators from CNN and other media filmed the scene, Marble suddenly yelled, "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney! Go fuck yourself, you asshole!" read full story / add a comment

Another story of "the government won the elections". What was once a joke, is increasingly true, one doesn't need to count the ink thumbs, or even trust the polls, all you need to ask is - "who is the current government and do the west like them?" Answer "yes" they won. Answer "no" they lost. read full story / add a comment

Check your calendar. Tomorrow is a big day. Its marks the date that modern history began. Michael Moore got his oscar, Iraqis got their freedom, and Haliburton made over a billion because of that day. And just in time, "the ones you keep your eye on" next door in Engurland have flown the big kite. read full story / add a comment
