Dept. of The Union Is In A State
"The Emperor has no clothes!"
The war-leader card was Bush's only proven winner: Keeping Americans in a state of more or less permanent fear, and more or less permanent war, had bailed out what looked until 9/11 like a presidency headed for disaster. As long as he was sending American troops off to fight evildoers somewhere, Bush -- who before the terror attacks came across as a sharp-elbowed, ill-educated frat boy whose sole mission in life was to roll over for corporate America -- suddenly morphed into a kind of combo pack of FDR and Churchill.
It should be noted that he rolled over for corporate America faster than Lassie in heat. |

Gay Marriage Poll Gets Annulled. The conservative American Family Association hoped an online poll would sway legislators against gay marriages, but a funny thing happened on the way to the altar. By Daniel Terdiman. [Wired News] The people have spoken and the message is clear:
As of Jan. 19, 60 percent of respondents -- more than 508,000 voters -- said, "I favor legalization of homosexual marriage." With an additional 7.89 percent -- or 66,732 voters -- replying, "I favor a 'civil union' with the full benefits of marriage except for the name," the AFA's chosen position, "I oppose legalization of homosexual marriage and 'civil unions,'" was being defeated by a 2-1 ratio. When the AFA realized that it couldn't cook the numbers into a hateful enough broth, they stewed in their own juices and backed down on their promise to take the poll's results to Congress.
Gee, conservatives not keeping a promise? Will wonders never cease? |

Iraqi police and hospital officials said gunmen attacked the Iraqi women's minibus at about 1600 local time (1300 GMT) on Wednesday, as they were driven to work at the US base near the town of Habbaniay.
OK, now how many of you, when you first read the headline, thought this was going to be a story about U.S. troops killing their laundresses by accident? |
