Osama says

Read today's Washington Post and the transcript from the latest bin Laden tape. According to excerpts of the audiotape broadcast by the al-Jazeera network, he says: "Your aircraft and tanks are destroying houses over the heads of our kinfolk and children in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and Pakistan." Now go back and read what I wrote on 13 March. Of course, no body reads this blog.

Once Upon A Time....

Bush says the government will protect the citizens in case of any price gouging by the oil companies. Let's see, Bush was, uh, oh yeah, an oil man. And Cheney was, uh, oh yeah, an oil man.

Why am I not surprised

Nice going, White House! You screwed up the ceremonies for Chinese President Hu Jintao pretty well. Diplomacy is fraught with symbolism and you guys insulted the leader of a country whose support we need in this world. Of course, you frittered away good will from most of the rest of the world. By why am I not surprised? This administration is shown itself to be incompentent from the blunder in Iraq to the screw up in New Orleans to the gas pump.

Already it starts

The right-wingers are at it once more. Scared to death that Sen. Hillary Clinton may be the Democrat nominee for president in 2008, they are already slinging the mud. Jeannie Moos of CNN looks at the book "I've Always Been a Yankees Fan: Hillary Clinton In Her Own Words" by Thomas D. Kuiper and finds that most of the "quotes" ascribed to Mrs. Clinton are unsubstantiated. It's the right wing and their anonymous (made-up) sources. And the bloggers will pick up on these "quotes" and will be mortified, indignant that Mrs. Clintoin could do such a thing. Then the right-wing media will also chime in reporting on the book and on the blogs. It's the old saw: If you repeat a lie often enough and loud enough, people will pereceive it as truth.

What part of ...

What part of "illegal" is misundertood? What part of "compassion" is too hard to digest?
