Rumsfeld Lashes Out at Bush Critics
Rumsfeld warns against appeasement
Think she has a chance to win????
Nashua N.H. Telegraph
Excerpt:
But she implicated the government by saying the Sept. 11 attacks were meant “to soften us up . . . to make us more willing to have more stringent laws here, which are totally against the Bill of Rights . . . to make us particularly focus on Arabs and Muslims . . . and those strange persons who spend all their time creating little bombs,†giving Americans a reason “to hate them and fear them and, therefore, bomb them in Iraq for other reasons.â€
She said this strategy “would be normal†for governments, citing her belief that the British government – and not the Germany military – sank the Lusitania ocean liner in 1915. The deaths of Americans on the cruise liner helped galvanize U.S. support to enter World War I, and benefited England, she said.
H.L.s Take
The Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, the Reichstag Fire, Gulf of Tonkin, 9/11
All wars are fought for money said this guy who was a pretty bright dude. His name was Socrates. People don’t want to fight wars, Governments of by and for the rich oil barons, and weapons manufacturers are the only ones who want war. So what do they do?. Cause some national tragedy to get the ignorant masses to get behind their evil plans to kill for cash. It’s been going on since day 1, and will continue as long as people let it.
Heres a story no one in the U.S. media is willing to report. Of course we have to go overseas to find out what is going on at home. Marines that were already home after serving multiple tours in Iraq are now being called back again. A lot of them are saying no way I kill for bush again. The U.S Media are such complete whores they don’t even try to hide it any more. On Monday I had to go out for a job interview I was early so I went and picked up a copy of The L.A. Times something I rarely do anymore but I had a half hour to kill. The first story I looked at talked about how 60 Iraqi civilians and 9 U.S soldiers had died that day. The headline of the story: “Violence Down in Iraq”
U.K. Times
Excerpt:
“I needed health care, money to go to college, and I needed to take care of my daughter. The military was the only way I could do it,†he tells me. As we chat, basking in the sun on a peaceful Toronto street, he fiddles with his pocket watch, which has a Canadian flag on its face. He’s wearing a peace-symbol necklace.
After fighting for seven months in Iraq, he came home bloodied from combat, with a Purple Heart that proved his sacrifice – and seriously opened his eyes. “When I joined, I wanted to fight,†he says. “I wanted to see combat. I wanted to be a hero. I wanted to save people. I wanted to protect my country.†But soon after he arrived in Iraq, he tells me, he realised that the Iraqis did not want him there, and he heard harsh tales that surprised and distressed him.
“Soldiers were describing to me how they had beaten prisoners to death,†he says. “There were three guys and one said, ‘I kicked him from this side of the head while the other guy kicked him in the head and the other guy punched him, and he just died.’ People I knew. They were boasting about it, about how they had beaten people to death.†He says it again: “Boasting about how they had beaten people to death. They are trained killers now. Their friends had died in Iraq. So they weren’t the people they were before they went there.â€
H.L.s Take
The Republican Plan: Take away the good jobs and health care so that people are so poor they have to join the Army. Then when they get home broken, and shellshocked, take away their GI benefits and tell them to go to hell. And why not, the majority of war veterans are anti-war once they have been over there and figured out what is really going on.
Universal Health Care for California? Not if the Governator can help it.
S.F. Gate
Excerpt:
The Democratic-controlled Legislature is on the verge of sending Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger a bill that would create a state-run universal health care system, testing him on an issue that voters rate as one of their top concerns in this election year.
On a largely party-line 43-30 vote, the Assembly approved a bill by state Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Santa Monica, that would eliminate private medical insurance plans and establish a statewide health insurance system that would provide coverage to all Californians. The state Senate has already approved the plan once and is expected this week to approve changes that the Assembly made to the bill.
Schwarzenegger has said he opposes a single-payer plan like the one Kuehl’s bill would create, but the governor has not offered his own alternatives for fixing the state’s health care system. As many as 7 million people are uninsured in the state, and spiraling costs have put pressure on business and consumers.
H.Ls. Take
This is a win-win situation for California: Either we get Universal Health Care, or we get rid of Ahhhnold. People won’t be happy if he makes this not happen. It will not be good for the republican plan. Take away everyones health insurance (except the rich of course), then the first time they get sick they go into huge debt. Of course they can’t declare bankruptcy anymore so what happens? There goes the house, (if they were lucky enough to afford one in the first place.) Now you are sick and homeless, you can’t get the care you need. You die broke, they laugh all the way to the bank with your house.
Deregulation of the oil industry by Bush is making The J.R. Ewings of the world very very rich, while we pay pay pay.
Bloomberg News
Excerpt:
In 2005, the CEOs of the largest 15 oil companies averaged $32.7 million in compensation, compared with $11.6 million for all large U.S. firms, according to the study, released today by the Institute for Policy Studies and United for a Fair Economy.
Amid reports of multimillion-dollar pay packages, shareholder activists have sponsored resolutions to limit compensation at companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. and Home Depot Inc. In May, three members of the House of Representatives criticized the retirement benefits of former Exxon CEO Lee Raymond and asked the company to fill a gap in its workers’ pension fund.
“Instead of lining the pockets of executives, they should be investing the money into new sources of energy that go beyond fossil oils,” said Sarah Anderson, director of the global economy project at the Washington-based Institute for Policy Studies, and a co-author of the study.
H.L.s Take
I work at home mostly, when I do go to an actual job, which is about once a week, the place is 5 miles away. Lately I hardly use my car at all, and when I do the trip is usually just around the neighborhood. I am still spending at least $20 a week in gas. I don’t know how people in big SUVS who have to commute 30 miles a day or more do it. They must be racking up some pretty heavy debt in order to help CEOs of Exxon/Mobil make 32 Mil a year.
Bush is borrowing money from China, to give his tax cuts to the rich. Money we will have to pay back. Meanwhile he is spending untold Billlions on a losing useless quagmire of a war, which he has already come out and said that no way we will be out of there as long as he is President. (Beyond January 20, 2009???) Of course we are in there to steal oil. We are pumping thousands of barrels of oil out of Iraq a day from unmetered wells. We don’t know how much but America is not seeing that oil. Bush keeps stealing we keep paying.
OP Ed News.
Excerpt:
Federal borrowing eventually results in a transfer of income from U.S. taxpayers to the investors who hold the Treasury bonds. As long as Americans own the bonds, the transfer is simply from one American to another. Bondholders may get richer, while taxpayers who don’t own bonds get poorer. But shuffling the income between the two groups doesn’t reduce America’s overall wealth.
Today, however, 43 percent of the United States’ publicly held debt of $4.8 trillion is held abroad, mainly by central banks in Japan, China, and Britain and by offshore hedge funds. That’s up from a 30 percent share in 2001, an extraordinary increase.
Indeed, during the Bush years, 73 percent of new government borrowing has been from abroad. Paying the interest on the foreign- owned portion of the debt will be a burden on future generations of Americans, draining their wallets, and siphoning off America’s wealth.
H.L.s Take:
Bush will not stop stealing from Americans like you and me until we have nothing and The Bush Crime Family and their minions have it all, at which point we will become their slaves. Its not like the people of this brain dead nation would ever fight back.
Saw this on Think Progress.
There is some new census data out that shows how the poverty level has risen, and the uninusred rate has gone down every year since 2000, Bush took over in January 2001, and things have been going into the tank ever since.
H.L.s Take:
The numbers speak for themselves. The reverse Midas touch in full effect. Everything he touches turns to S**t.
I was sitting here at my desk on August 28 2005, at 3:45 PM Pacific when I saw the weather chart, and realized this wasn’t going to be a regular type Hurricane. I posted a warning to any H.L.ers in New Orleans that may not have known.
08/28/05 If You Live In New Orleans….
RUN!
President Bush and his trusted advisor closely monitored the situation (so he knew how bad it was) At a crucial juncture when Bush’s point man began to realize that Bush had no desire to do anything at all, Bush had this to say to the frustrated and confused assistant.

Meanwhile Bush decided to pull a Nero, and pulled out his gee-tar
On August 31, Bush decided that maybe it was time to end his vacation a couple of days early and like maybe try to like do something, or something.

But before he got back he decided to buzz New Orleans in Air Force 1, for a close up look and some hands on help for the masses

Then finally, 5 days after the strom hit. When Bush had let thousands of people die, it was time for something to be done. He got his daddy, and Bill Clinton to bail him out.

BOULDER, Colo. (Reuters) - Colorado prosecutors won’t charge schoolteacher John Mark Karr with the murder of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey after tests showed his DNA does not match DNA found in her underwear, two local TV stations reported on Monday.
Denver’s KUSA and KCBS both cited unnamed sources close to the investigation in the reports, which came just hours before Karr, 41, was due for his first Colorado court appearance.
Amid skepticism over Karr’s claims to have been with the former Little Miss Colorado when she died, legal experts said that it would be difficult to bring the case to trial without a DNA match.
H.L.s Take
This story broke the day after a judge ordered Bush to stop the illegal spying on U.S. Citizens without warrants. It should have been a big story in the mainstream media. Bush slapped down by the courts. The 4th Amendment is still in effect. But suddenly out of nowhere some kook is being charged with murder in the most sensationalistic murder case in the last 10 years. There is just one problem though, all the evidence points to the fact that he didn’t do it. His family said they have Christmas pictures of him in another city when the murders took place. But does the media bother to check any of this out, hell no. They just (once again) run with the story knowing it is wrong. The whole thing was a Karl Rove plot to get Bush out of the papers for a few days. Karr must have taken Roves offer to get out of having to do time in Thailand for whatever he did over there. He also got to be a celebrity for a couple of weeks, so what the hell. And what is it about Colorado? There must be some republican D.A.s over there who want so bad to curry favor with GOP bigwigs and have their names in the paper that they are willing to make themselves look bad to do it. Another instance where Bush conveniently got out of the papers at a bad time was when the whole Kobe Bryant “rape” case took place. Everyone knew that it would never go to trial but the press was all over that so hard there was no time to talk about anything else.
I never bothered to mention this case on the blog because I knew the whole thing was a sham. I’m just surprised they didn’t take him to trial anyway, just to have another 6 months of press headlines.
Wish I would have thought of this…

H.L.s Take: Bush is Indeed The Pluto of Presidents. He is out there.
Get ready for some really trippy music with Pink Floyd. This is from Floyd’s movie “Live at Pompeii”, it was shot in 1971, right before they became huge. I saw these guys live on February 27, 1980 at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. They performed “The Wall” in one of only 10 shows on the entire tour. 5 in NY, and 5 in L.A. (we will be featuring some footage from those shows on a later Saturday Night Concert.) OK twist one up, turn on the black lights, drop it if you got it, and get ready for some Pink Floyd.

Not surprisingly, Allen’s campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, is trying to rally the troops behind Allen, and against what Wadhams perceives as a mass effort to vilify Allen “in a desperate attempt to revive a campaign that was fast-sinking - the Webb campaign.”
(Note: Wadhams’ memo came two days before the SurveyUSA poll.)
As the folks at MyDD.com point out: Wadhams “blames the media, pundits, Democrats, liberal groups, and Moveon.org for Allen’s racist gaffe. He says that it’s the Democrats that are playing the race card. The only person who isn’t to blame, in fact, is saintly George Allen.”
Virginians apparently aren’t buying that script, no matter how hard Allen’s conservative friends scream it from the rafters
H.L.s Take
Republicans built their party on racism. Thats how they took the south away from Democrats many years ago. They usually speak in ways that deliver the subtext. “We hate niggers, we can’t say we hate niggers, but you know we do, and we know you do, so vote for us.” But every now and then one slips and shows his true feelings. Then of course the next step is to blame the “Librul Media” If you don’t think people still think this way, check the discussion forums on any Yahoo story that has anything to do with race, or black people. They say that racism is learned from your environment. I wonder of Allens father felt the same way about all the black football players he was the head coach of on The Washington Redskins.

Its been what? 2 weeks now, and those “Terrorists” in London still have not been charged with a crime. A panic has swept the worlds airports as a whole bunch of new security measures are put in place. Do you feel safer yet? Well here is a story that might put your mind at ease.
U.K. Register
Excerpt:
‘According to the official government story, TATP (triacetone triperoxide) was the explosive
these conspirators were planning to manufacture aboard the airliners… The peroxide and acetone can be pre-mixed, but the acid must be added, a drop at a time, while continuously stirring it and keeping it continuously chilled. This step of the process will take several hours, during which the fumes given off will be substantial and quite overpowering, thus a lab-quality air evacuation system is required…
One then must let the resulting solution stand for an extended period at temperatures
above the freezing point, but definitely below 50 degrees Fahrenheit… The time required for
completion is at least 24 hours and often several days… There is neither the time, the workspace nor the other materials required to make TATP on an airliner. The time required, the temperatures required, the workspace required and the need to dry the chemical prior to use preclude this story being reasonable…’”
H.L.s Take:
Ok so why then, is our government, and the government of England, doing this if the plot to bomb airlines with liquid chemicals is bunk. (Don’t forget these “terrorist” were not at the airport trying to board a plane with the ingredients packed in a carry on satchel when they were arrested, They were at home. So maybe they might have discussed possiby trying to blow jets out of the sky with an impossible to do scheme, or maybe not.) So what are Bush, and Blair up to? Could it be this???
Prison Planet.
Excerpt:
Escalating security measures, body scans, lie detector tests and behavior analysis now being forced upon unwitting human livestock passing through airports are the first stage of an agenda to create a two tier caste system whereby only government authorized citizens will be able to travel and everyone will be subject to intense airport style harassment on city streets.
Just when we thought airline security was starting to become rational again five years after September 11, one carefully timed PR scam has reversed all that and travelers are again treated worse than cattle as they are shoved around airports, treated as criminals and barked at by poorly trained screeners on little Hitler power trips.
The agenda is clearly to maintain a state of alert and panic until such a time that reverting back to ‘normal’ and ‘reasoned’ security measures is forgotten - the new normal becomes the insane and displaying any traits of disobedience to authority figures is taken as a sign of terrorism
Ann Coulter being interviewed on her own network Fox News, claims that Osama Bin Laden is irrelevant, and “Things are going swimmingly in Afghanistan”, when she is confronted on her answer by the guest host who replaced the usually wimpy Allen Colmes, Coulter realizing that she might actually have to back up what she says for once, gets all panicky and storms off the set right in the middle of the segment. Check it out.
H.L.s Take: Ann Coulter is irrelevant. I don’t even like mentioning her on this site, but she is such an uberbitch, and such an easy target I can’t resist.
Whats happeneing? I have a job interview this morning. Its at a place I have interviewed at before without hearing back. This seems to be another thing for employers to do these days just to mess with people, keep bringing them back for more interviews and still not hire anyone. There is one company that I went on and interview with 4 different times, then was told by the human resources person that my resume was on top of the pile and it “looked good.” Then when I call back a week later because I haven’t heard anything they tell me “Oh we decided not to hire anyone for now.”……..Ooops never mind, the phone just rang, and it was the guy I was supposed to go see for the interview. Seems he can’t make it. Nice of him to call and let me know 90 minutes before the meeting. Most places would have let me come all the way in there and then told me to forgetaboutit. The interview has been rescheduled for Monday at 10:30. Hope the guy can make it. Ok now I can spend the day bringing you the best bush bashing stories and comics. The site production has been slow lately because I am spending more time looking for work. I am so F**king broke. Look for a new comic later today, I think I will call it “Hey, Yo Rocky” See you then.
