I thought that we already knew who Deep Throat was: Linda Lovelace.

Somehow I think that the Vatican will find their miracles and John Paul II will become a saint.
George Bush style: when the going gets tough, send your wife to the Middle East.
How can anybody feel that they were duped by Bush's thinly disguised pre-Iraqi War agenda? It was as obvious as the nose on your face; the "proof" of WMDs that never proved anything. The media let themselves be led along because of a post 9/11 mentality that made them fearful of looking unpatriotic. It looked, walked and quacked like a duck then and it still does. So what's the big surprise?
No offense to good Muslims everywhere but it seems to me that much of the abuse to Muslims and their religion comes from other Muslims.
Read one of the best blogs that I've seen on Republicans and family values.
And things were going so well in Iraq before Amnesty International issued that nasty old report.
The only reason Chinese citizens are angrily protesting against Japan is that they're not allowed to protest against anything in China.
To all foreign leaders who might run afoul of U.S. diplomatic policy: Wear clean underwear and try to make it stylish. If you're in fairly good shape get something with a slightly lower cut. Saddam had on a pair of skivvies that he would have probably would changed if he had known he was going to be photographed in them. Maybe Jesse Jackson or the International Red Cross can get him an International Male UnderGear catalogue.
I'll bet the Evangelicals wish they could have a little Hamas group of their own, it would make it so much easier for them.
Seeing all of our world leaders in their skivvies might not be such a bad idea; maybe they wouldn't feel so damned omnipotent, omniscient and arrogant.
The only way that Bush is going to make this right with the Muslim world is to publish a picture of himself in his tightie whities.
The Bush administration is indignant that Newsweek would use faulty information that led to death and destruction. They say that apology is not enough, that resignations should follow. Let me see, have they ever heard of the Iraq War?
Is the American public stupid enough to think that the filibuster is something new and only works one way?
The White House is refuting a UK memo which states that intelligence was "being fixed" to support the Iraq war. Scott McClellan says that the decision to invade was only made after Iraq refused to comply with its "international obligations" and as a "last resort." He must be talking about the invasion of Iraq that took place in an almost, but not quite parallel universe.
United Airlines is morally as well as financially bankrupt. Promises to workers are reversible in the courts, yet the CEO has a $4 million guaranteed pension. Meanwhile, the buck is being passed to the American taxpayer. It's corporate welfare at its slimiest.
To me, examples of miracles are walking on water, rising from the dead, bringing someone back to life, parting the seas and other deeds that if observed would not be open to debate. When you start including curing cancer, when very often people sometimes go into complete remission, you’re watering down the concept. Funny how none of the former seem to take place in today’s world, other than in the super-market tabloids.
There's a reason the Nebraska ban on same-sex marriage was overturned: it excluded tax-paying citizens from receiving a bunch of rights that the majority takes for granted. No matter what kind crap the Right tries to feed us, same-sex marriage does not hurt the family or anyone else. It simply allows passengers paying full fare from having to sit in the back of the citizenship bus.
Let's see, why didn't they bother notifying the Prez about the threat of an air attack on the White House? Do the words My Pet Goat ring a bell?
Overheard:
While Bush was visiting Georgia earlier today I'm surprised he didn't ask how far he was from Atlanta.
I wonder if the church in Waynesville, NC that ousted its Democratic voters is going to lose its tax-exempt status. What happened there is a trend that has the potential to destroy this country as we know it. It's religious extremism and it never does anybody any good except the perps. Evangelicals believe in the Constitution as it applies to them. With God on their side they can do whatever the hell they want to you because the Bible tells them so. Now the pastor of the East Waynesville Baptist Church is saying that his "actions were not politically motivated." Thou shalt not lie, Pastor. If anyone thinks that this was an isolated incident and did not happen all across this nation last November, you're kidding yourself.
It would seem that if Jennifer Wilbanks had been a little more careful, she could have shoplifted all the things on her bridal registry. I wonder how a poor minority woman who was not all lawyered up would have fared in the courts with three shoplifting charges.
I think that tomorrow Bush better take another look into Putin's eyes. Apparently he misread him the first time.
With the climate in America being what it is it's really not all that surprising that Kansas has decided to have its own "Monkey Trial." The people involved in the Scopes trial had an excuse: it was 1925.
Earlier this week, Pat Robertson said that federal judges are a greater threat to our nation than "a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings." I'm sure that Pat Robertson would also think that gay rights are a bigger threat to the world than nuclear proliferation, but the fact is that if more people thought like Pat Robertson, terrorism would be the least of our problems. The same religious extremist mentality that allows people to feel good about killing themselves and thousands of innocent people also allows Pat Robertson to go on national television and make statements like that.
Regarding the Lyndie England trial, since when does the testimony of a convicted felon with a big credibility and integrity deficit carry such weight in a court of law?
Last night Laura Bush said, "George's answer to any problem at the ranch is to cut it down with a chainsaw." And the surprise is...?
