It’s Monday – Bush Still Sucks
What asshat things is the “president” doing today?
- No Weapons of Mass Destruction. First, review all the statements our esteemed White House made about WMD prior to the war, in order to justify it. Americans may be happy with ignoring this obvious Bush lie/war crime, but other countries are not. Not at all. And for those toeing the current Rumsfeld absurdity that the weapons were destroyed before the invasion, check out this line. And then there’s the claim that two trailers are the WMD. Oh, and the claim that Saddam himself was a weapon of mass destruction. Yeah, right.
- Tax Cuts. The Financial Times says of the tax cuts: “the lunatics are running the asylum.” And the new study found five million taxpayers in the lowest tax bracket who get no benefit from the law, and 2.5 million single parents with children who also pay taxes but get nothing.
- Censoring Teachers. Bush is threatening the existence of the Head Start program (one of the most successful, popular, and valuable educational programs), and when teachers are speaking out against his plans, he’s threatening them.
- Bush questions accuracy of Auschwitz memorial during tour of death camp, then accuses Europe of not remembering the horrors of the holocaust. I think they remember better than we do, George.
- AWOL Military service. Our commander in chief’s military record has some serious holes. And you guys gave Clinton a hard time.

Mildred’s House of Signage
Tracy Jo Seneca has been roaming the streets of Chicago with a camera in search of interesting, unusual and strange signs. My favorite so far: The Mexican Pagoda Sign. Kind of reminds me of a restaurant here in Indianapolis called the “Oriental Smorgasbord.” Also, Rosario’s Italian Sausage, where the pigs just happily jump into the meat grinder. Mmmmm. Sausage.
Your help is needed to save Florida’s cats
On May 30, 2003, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will vote on a proposed policy to “prohibit the release, feeding or protection of cats” throughout Florida. If this policy is adopted, FWC will kill hundreds of thousands of feral and free-roaming cats in Florida.
Combatting Terrorism
“What I mean by that is: the best way to stop any illegal act, terrorist or otherwise, is to make sure that those terrorists do not have support structures in society in general. In order to eliminate those support structures, you have to make sure life is good and secure and that the people around those ne�er-do-wells have some sort of investment or loyalty in the larger community.”
“The USA Patriot Act is probably the biggest example of legislative malpractice in the last 50 years.”
“A library is a temple to the notion that knowledge is not just for the elite and that access should be low cost if not free, that doors should be open. Investing in libraries monetarily, spritually, intellectually, legally is one of the best things we can do for our immediate state and for the life we hope we can build for the rest of the century.”
