Republicans Say Democrats are Terrorists, Wall Street Journal Agrees

From the NY Times:

“With costs and casualties rising in the war on terrorism, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld struck back today at the administration’s widening circle of critics, saying they were complicating an already difficult task. Mr. Rumsfeld did not mention any of the domestic critics by name. But he suggested that those who have been critical of the administration’s handling of the war in Iraq and its aftermath might be encouraging American foes to believe that the United States might one day walk away from the effort, as it has in past conflicts.”

[Emphasis mine.]

And Tuesday, and op/ed headline in the Wall Street Journal: “Bush Parries a Terror Attack, From the Democrats”

Bush Goes Totally Delusional

“The military also announced the deaths of two more American soldiers, killed by makeshift bombs in Baghdad, as President Bush (news – web sites) appealed to other nations to set aside “past bickering” to help with peacekeeping and reconstruction.”
PAST BICKERING? On what planet was there preliminary events of the Iraq invasion called “past bickering?” Bush, you invaded a sovereign nation without provocation, using as an excuse fabricated information. You did this in defiance of PRACTICALLY THE ENTIRE PLANET, who knew damned well the information you were presenting was false. You didn’t achieve any of your objectives in the invasion (make the world safer, kill Sadaam Hussein) and you’ve gotten thousands of people killed in the process and trashed a country. And people are supposed to get past their feelings and help you? Good god we have a total retard in the White House.

Lori sent me this Fark Photoshop contest of Ann Coulter shooting something in her backyard. See the original photo from her site here.
Several of the photoshoppers emphasized something interesting about the picture of Ann… she’s white trash. Look at the house, look at the people on the porch. Jesus if she’s really got a best-seller like she claims, why doesn’t she buy a friggin’ new house? Sittin’ around shooting stuff off the back porch… how more more of a redneck can you get?

Don’t forget to tip your waiter…

Funny link I found on my friend Lori’s site about tipping waiters. Apparently there’s a gay waiter who’s a bit pissed off. I wonder why he’s mentioned the name Ben Solomon… I can’t tell if he’s dissing Ben or not. Ben is one of the wealthy gay men in town.
I also like the other post about “the richest people” who don’t tip. I remember back when I was roommates with Dennis Williams who was a waiter at the Black-Eyed Pea and at Houlihan’s, the people who never tipped him were the Christians who came to eat lunch on Sundays after church. Either they’d leave no tip at all or instead of money they’d leave a religious pamphlet about how expecting a tip is un-Christian and about saving your soul. Somewhere I still have one of those; I should dig it out. A lot of Christians are just complete ass-hats. Not all of them, of course, just some.

September 8, 2003 – The Hands And Knees Edition. As in “Bush comes crawling on….” because he has to ask the UN, whom he spent months dissing, for help.
Among other things, Snopes.com admits that they were wrong, and that Osama bin Laden’s family really was gathered up by the government while the entire country was under lockdown and then whisked back to Saudia Arabia. The real question is why was this happening before we even confirmed that bin Laden was the mastermind?

“But now dance music, the genre that revolutionised people’s clothing, drinking, drug-taking and socialising habits beyond recognition, is battling for survival.”
Interesting, considering that I heard a rumor that the hot new nightclub near my house, Talbott Street, will be closing in the next few months due to poor attendance.
