Our Know-Nothing President
Tom Tomorrow had a great new cartoon about what life is like inside the bubble for our “flight-suit Georgie”.
Another Military Heavyweight Backs Dean Presidential Bid
Retired Gen. Merrill “Tony” McPeak, the former Air Force chief of staff who endorsed George W. Bush in 2000, has left the Republican fold and is backing Democrat Howard Dean in the 2004 race for president.
McPeak joins a small but growing list of top military veterans who have parted ways with the president at least partly because of the war in Iraq. McPeak’s decision could be an important boost for Dean because critics have accused the former Vermont governor of lacking the experience and knowledge needed to be the nation’s commander-in-chief.
Dude, don’t hit the donkey — he’s not a terrorist.
Insurgents in Baghdad attacked 2 hotels and and the oil ministry in Baghdad a few hours ago, using rocket launchers mounted on donkey carts.
Troops returned fire, apparently injuring a donkey at the Sheraton. At least one human perpetrator may have been captured.
The damage to buildings and the injuries to people were relatively contained.
“They would certainly have an element of surprise by having a donkey cart,” said Col. Brad May, commander of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. “Most people would not think of a donkey cart being used to fire rockets from.”
Yeah, that’s why it’s called guerilla warfare.
How did a reporter penetrate British Security?
Easy; he apparently just applied for a job as a Palace footman a few months earlier. And the British public is shocked: if security surrounding Bush is supposed to be so tight, how did this guy get within assassination range of George Bush and the Queen? Well… the answer to that is easy too. The security has nothing to do with keeping Bush or the Queen SAFE. It has to do with keeping the British Stop Bush Protestors out of the public’s eye, and keeping Bush from seeing how many of them oppose him. This is, after all, the “know nothing” president who refuses to read the papers and gets all his news through screened briefings from his staff.
Chasing Bush: Red Letter Day
Today is the day massive protests will occur in Great Britain, with the culmination being a protest in Trafalgar Square where protesters will topple an effigy of George Bush in emulation of the staged statue toppling that occurred in Iraq.
Check out the Chasing Bush website for all the international news that’s getting missed due to the bombing in Istabul and the arrest of Michael Jackson.
Things The White House wants to hide
The robots.txt file for any site will tell search engines what directories or files to ignore on a website. Usually this is used to hide directories that are still under construction, or that have been moved or changed.
Check out the robots.txt file for the white house website to see a list of things that the White House has either removed from the site, or no longer wants the public to access.
Massachusetts strikes down ban on equal marriage rights for gay people
The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that the ban on equal marriage rights for gay people was unconstituational, but didn’t go so far as to grant marriage licenses to the gay couples who filed the suit. Instead, it sent the issue back to the Massachusetts legislature, who will have 180 days to remedy the inequality of the law. What will probably happen is what happened in Vermont; a civil union law will be created that guarantees the protections of a marriage, without having the same status as marriage. So basically, we get out own water fountains and bathrooms.
The Top Ten Conservative Idiots (No. 135)
Among other stupid Republican crap, Jeb Bush makes a joke suggesting that gay people in San Francisco should be an endangered species, and the Republican party are planning their own Saint Reagan movie, possible where Reagan shoots laser beams from his eyes.
Chasing Bush: A Different Kind of Flash Mob
A group experienced with building Flash Mobs in the U.K. is taking on a new project: protesting George Bush’s upcoming visit to the UK. Basically, they are going to follow the president around, record images of his protestors, images of how his visit and the security measures surrounding it cause chaos and difficulties for London citizens and businesses, and do everything they can to ensure that there are no “free speech zones” where protestors are kept out of sight and sound of the president so he doesn’t feel uncomfortable.
