Here is Pixwits take on the whole “Bush is The Devil Controversey”

Think Progress.org
Earlier today on Good Morning America, Virgin CEO Richard Branson, who yesterday pledged $3 billion to invest in alternative energy to combat global warming, appeared alongside Al Gore. Branson explained that he was once a global warming skeptic, but after meeting with scientists, reading books, and talking over breakfast with Gore, he became “convinced that the world has a real serious problem.”

Gore praised Branson for having the “guts” to show such “courage and leaderhip” on the issue.

One of the most religio-crazyest of the Crazy set for a fall.

Polls Give Democrats Lead in Pennsylvania

AOL
Excerpt:
Santorum aired a TV spot featuring actors supposedly portraying four big donors to Casey’s campaign meeting inside a smoke-filled jail cell. The senator’s campaign later conceded that none of the men had given money to Casey’s Senate campaign and that two of them had actually contributed to Santorum’s campaign, which donated the money to nonprofit groups.

“Santorum’s desperate smear campaign isn’t working,” said Casey campaign spokesman Larry Smar. “Pennsylvanians are making clear that they want a change.”

H.L.s Take
Republican campaign tactic #1. Accuse your opponent of doing the bad and illegal things you are doing, even though he isn’t doing it. Its worked like a charm for years. Have the people finally caught on. And even if they have will it matter with Diebold???

Reflections on Our Inner Bush
Corporate Monkeys In Our National House Of Mirrors

Uruknet
Excerpt:
Currently, we watch as Bush vacillates between chest-puffing belligerence and jaw-gyrating fecklessness. Due to his hapless response to overwhelming events, some commentators have made comparisons to Jimmy Carter. Not true: Carter, as beset by tumult and contretemps as his administration was during the late 1970s, never resembled, as Bush does, a tweaked-out methhead in the throes of a full blown Methamphetamine-induced psychosis.

There is little mystery as to why Bush is now beating a war drum, in time to that all-too-familiar election time, Rovian rag. Bush’s handlers are desperate: Recent polls have revealed that suburban males, Republican women, southerners, and even Christian fundamentalists are starting to have misgivings about Bush. Why? One would guess: since Bush has proven himself incapable of changing Iraqi blood into cheap, ever-available oil, this has caused, for a portion of his base, the sheen of beatitude to come off Jesus’ earthly emissary.

The aura of despair leveling upon the country is undeniable.

H.L.s Take
Every one of Bush Bases are now going against him, and presumably The Republicans as well. Even if they stay home on election day, Democrats could take over both houses, then we will see if they have the balls for impeachment.

Now Bush is sending the IRS after churches that actually preach the word of God. How dare a church make a sermon against God!! If like most churches that church had decided to go against the 10 Commandments (#6 Thou Shalt Not Kill) and supported Bush they’d be getting faith based Contributions, but now they are getting harassed by the IRS.

Church to fight IRS demand for documents

AP
Excerpt:
PASADENA, Calif. - A liberal church that has been threatened with the loss of its tax-exempt status over an anti-war sermon delivered just days before the 2004 presidential election said Thursday it will fight an IRS order to turn over documents on the matter.

“We’re going to put it in their court and in a court of law so that we can get an adjudication to some very fundamental issue here that we see as an intolerable infringement of rights,” Bob Long, senior warden of All Saints Church, told The Associated Press.

He said the church’s 26-member vestry voted unanimously to resist IRS demands for documents and an interview with the congregation’s rector by the end of the month.

The church’s action sets up a high-profile confrontation between the church and the IRS, which now must decide whether to ask for a hearing before a judge, who would then decide on the validity of the agency’s demands

H.L.s Take
Death and Taxes. This will be an interesting one for the judge should it make it to trial. “Do I go along with Bush and fear the wrath of God, or do I go along with God and fear the wrath of Bush” Either way hes screwed.

Ok I finally have some time to write about my trip to Vegas last weekend for the fabulous Bartcop Poker & Tequilafest. Ol’ Bart sure knows how to throw a party and this was perhaps the best yet. It was at The Palms which is probably the most happening hotel in Vegas for the party crowd. Of course we had all heard about the $3000 a night suite that was booked for the occasion, but when I got inside and saw it I was truly impressed. The place was huge and plush.

Rise in Iraq violence kills more than 40

AP
Excerpt:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Bombers and gunmen killed more than 40 people and injured dozens across Iraq on Monday as the government prepared to further tighten security ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, when violence traditionally spikes in the country.

Meanwhile, tribes in one of Iraq’s most volatile provinces have joined together to fight the insurgency in their region, calling on the government and the U.S.-led military coalition to give them weapons, a prominent tribal leader said.

Tribal leaders and clerics in Ramadi, the capital of violent Anbar province, met last week and have set up a force of about 20,000 men “ready to purge the city of these infidels,” Sheik Fassal al-Guood, a prominent tribal leader from Ramadi, told The Associated Press.

“People are fed up with the acts of those criminals who take Islam as a cover for their crimes,” he said. “The situation in the province is unbearable, the city is abandoned, most of the families have fled the city and all services are poor.”

H.L.s Take:
Impeachement, Impeachment, Impeachment. John Dean and Elizabeth Holtzmans words are still ringing in my head.

Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Do you think if a movie was made depicting the assination of Bill Clinton, (or Hilary) that republicans would be upset?

Sen. Hillary Clinton blasts Bush assassination film

Lower Hudson Journal News.
Excerpt:
CHAPPAQUA — Sen. Hillary Clinton this morning blasted the producers of a new film depicting the assassination of Pres. George W. Bush.

“I think it’s despicable,” Clinton said of “Death of a President,” a fictional film that features a staged assassination of the president in 2007. “I think it’s absolutely outrageous. That anyone would even attempt to profit on such a horrible scenario makes me sick.”

H.L.s Take
Hilary has to protect all members of The Bush/Clinton Alliance.
But I don’t understand. Its not a true story, Its a fictional docudrama. Who cares if it tells a story that didn’t really happen? Its not like someone who sees this movie is going to believe it. It’s not like someone who views this falsity might decide to go out and do it for real. I mean look at that other fictional docudrama “The Path to 9/11″ That movie wasn’t true, but ABC still beamed it into our living room. No one seemed to care about that. Of course ABC won’t be picking up this film, but otherwise What’s the difference??

The Bush/Clinton Alliance… Running S**t since 1980.

This is from White House Hyprocrisy

George Orwell, Call your office…Its official, 1984 is here, Ok so it showed up about 22 years late, but it has Arrived. Now not only are London streets being monitored by cameras, they actually yell at you and tell you if you are doing something terribly wrong, (like not walking your bike for example). They already have cameras monitoring the corner that I live on, I guess soon they will start yelling at me for spitting in the street.

Big Brother is shouting at you

London Daily Mail
Excerpt:
Big Brother is not only watching you - now he’s barking orders too. Britain’s first ‘talking’ CCTV cameras have arrived, publicly berating bad behaviour and shaming offenders into acting more responsibly.

The system allows control room operators who spot any anti-social acts - from dropping litter to late-night brawls - to send out a verbal warning: ‘We are watching you’……

Law-abiding shopper Karen Margery, 40, was shocked to hear the speakers spring into action as she walked past them. Afterwards she said: ‘It’s quite scary to realise that your every move could be monitored - it really is like Big Brother. ‘But Middlesbrough does have a big problem with anti-social behaviour, so it is very reassuring.’

And if the city centre scheme proves a success, it will be extended into residential areas.

H.L.s Take:
And once it is a success in residential areas the cameras will then be moved into peoples houses, bedrooms, and toilets. Soon you won’t be able to take a dump without the Government watching. (At least they can warn people when they are out of toilet paper) As usual its all in the name of safety. Every time we lose more individual rights (rememeber freedom) they use safety as the reason. If they watch every little thing we do we will be safer right?? Like little babies we need our mommies to watch our every move. God forbid we lose our freedom due to the anti-social behaviour of bicyclists, and bar patrons. Interesting that this story in the Daily Mail did not once mention that someone might have a problem with this, they acted like it was the greatest concept ever concieved. Sad that the media is no so transparent in there never ending shilling for Big Government.

Bush can’t be having people who go against him. Even if that means Incarceration without charges.

U.S. holds AP photographer in Iraq 5 mos

AP
Excerpt:
The U.S. military in Iraq has imprisoned an Associated Press photographer for five months, accusing him of being a security threat but never filing charges or permitting a public hearing.
Military officials said Bilal Hussein, an Iraqi citizen, was being held for “imperative reasons of security” under United Nations resolutions. AP executives said the news cooperative’s review of Hussein’s work did not find anything to indicate inappropriate contact with insurgents, and any evidence against him should be brought to the Iraqi criminal justice system….
according to a May 7 e-mail from U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Jack Gardner, who oversees all coalition detainees in Iraq….

“The information available establishes that he has relationships with insurgents and is afforded access to insurgent activities outside the normal scope afforded to journalists conducting legitimate activities,” Gardner wrote to AP International Editor John Daniszewski.

H.L.s Take
Then why not charge him, put him on trial, and let the evidence show his guilt??? Because the U.S. has no evidence against him. This is just another way to show Iraqis that if they mess with Bush, even in a legal activity such as journalism, that you will be locked up without charges and have your life ruined. Franz Kafka could not have imagined a worse scenario in his worst hallucinations. Once again how long before Bush, and the republicans start doing the same thing to Americans right here in The U.S., Oh yeah I forgot, they already have. But here they can’t really get away with it yet, but give them time. (Or we could vote them out of office)

Anyone who grew up in the Northeast (like me) know about The Yankee/Red Sox rivalry, it is probably the biggest in all of sports. Having a father from New York, and a Mother from Boston, I know all about it. (I’m a Yankee fan of course having grown up in New York.) Nowhere is the rivalry worse then in Connectucut which is right between N.Y. and Massachuttes. Half the state loves the Yankees, the other half loves the Red Sox, but everyone agrees on one thing. Liberman has got to be voted out of office. Here is the new ad.

H.L.s Take
When you get Yankee and Red Sox fans agreeing on something watch out. (Joe)

Macacca Boy George Allen is on the run in Virginia. He is yet another example of Chickenhawk republcians who are running against combat veteran Democrats. Which one do you suppose the people are going to believe come election day. Only Diebold can save them now.

A Democrat Rises in Virginia

New York Times
Excerpt:
In one of the sharpest exchanges of the campaign, Mr. Webb and Mr. Allen squared off on the war in Iraq on “Meet the Press” on NBC on Sunday, with Mr. Allen defending the Bush administration’s policy and denouncing the “second-guessing and Monday-morning quarterbacking” of the critics. “We’re going to need to do what it takes to succeed,” Mr. Allen said, when asked if he would support additional troops in Iraq, “because it’s essential to the security of the United States of America.”

Mr. Webb responded: “I know what it’s like to be on the ground. I know what it’s like to fight a war like this, and either — there are limits to what the military can do. Eventually, this is going to have to move into a diplomatic environment, and that’s where this administration seems to have blinders. They are not talking to Syria, they are not talking to Iran, and there are ways that we can do this, move this forward.”

Mr. Webb also took several digs at what he called theorists in the administration and among its allies who know combat only in the abstract. Mr. Allen, like the majority of the current Congress, did not serve in the military.

H.L.s Take
At the Bartcop Pokerfest, and Tequila Party I attended this weekend many of the people who attended lived in Red state rural areas, I heard from one party guest that people down there (Even republicans) are pissed off. Everyone knows that this country is in the toilet, and Republicans will pay the price (except the ones protected by Diebold) this November. Of course most republican voters will admit they were wrong by staying home from the polls rather then voting for a Democrat. Change comes slowly. Of course most won’t admit they were wrong, but we know they were, and they know they were.

The coverup continues, but how long will they be able to silence Professors, and Scientists that know the truth about 9/11

Banned From The Classroom
911 Physics Scientist Who Proved Thermite Involved In WTC Demolitions

Rense.com
Excerpt:
On September 7, the third day of the new fall semester at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, Steven E. Jones, professor of physics and 9/11 researcher, was suddenly banned by university authorities from teaching the physics classes he has taught for the past 21 years. Jones was unexpectedly suspended with pay after participating in a radio show in which he had been cunningly lured to comment on a subject outside of his field ­ the “motivation” of “the Neo-Conservatives” blamed for the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.

Jones, a soft-spoken physicist who specializes in metal-catalyzed fusion, archaeometry, and solar energy, joined the 9/11 research effort after being intrigued by the unexplained collapse of the 47-story WTC 7 at 5:25 p.m. on the afternoon of 9/11. Jones scientific interest was sparked after having read the August 2002 report in American Free Press that molten iron had been found in the rubble of all three collapsed WTC towers ­ including WTC 7.

H.L.s Take
Of course a church is going to try to stop the truth from getting out. Thats what religion is all about, trying to stop people from getting the truth. Government, and Religion: working hand in hand to control you. To make you blindly follow your monkey leader into war, while taking your money to boot.

New HBO Movie, Goldwater on Goldwater.

Barry Goldwater once said, It is the duty of the Patriot to protect his country from his Government. Goldwater started the conservative movement, back when it actually stood for something. Before it was corrupted by the Religious right, and the Bushites.

Last night The Nation Institute put on a talk at UCLA’s Royce Hall featuring John Dean, the former Presidential Counsel to Richard Nixon, and former New York Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman. The event was sponsored by Hamilton Fish, Katrina Vanden Heuvel, and Nation books. There was a reception beforehand where an impressive array of high-powered people who are dedicated to seeing George W. Bush impeached got to exchange ideas with Mr. Dean and Ms. Holtzman.

I got to meet a very nice lady named Norma Barzman, the author of “The Red and The Blacklist” and a new book, “The End of Romance.” Norma was a writer in Hollywood in the 40’s until she was blacklisted, and spent the next 30 years in exile in France. Norma introduced me to Cindy Asner, who is fighting to keep Diebold out of L.A. County.

After we filed into the Royce Hall auditorium Hamilton Fish came out and introduced the guests. John Dean is the author of several books including “Worse Then Watergate” and “Conservatives without Conscience.” He was Nixon’s attorney and the key figure in bringing down his Presidency, and he has studied past impeachments including Nixon, Clinton, and Andrew Johnson. He also served as a guest host to Keith Olbermann during the Clinton impeachment. Elizabeth Holtzman served on the House Judiciary Committee that held the Nixon impeachment hearings, and helped draft the articles of impeachment.

Some republicans are now actually going against every little thing that the Boy King wants. That is the first step on the road to his well deserved impeachment. Now Bush is going to have to veto a second bill.

Senate panel defies Bush on terror

AP
Excerpt:
In an embarrassment to the White House, Colin Powell — Bush’s first secretary of state — announced his opposition to his old boss’ plan, saying it would hurt the country….

The president’s measure would go further than the Senate package in allowing classified evidence to be withheld from defendants in terror trials, using coerced testimony and protecting CIA and other U.S. interrogators against prosecution for using methods that may violate the Geneva Conventions.

“The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism,” Powell, a retired general who is also a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote in his letter.

Powell said Bush’s bill, by redefining the kind of treatment the Geneva Conventions allow, “would add to those doubts. Furthermore, it would put our own troops at risk.”

Firing back, White House spokesman Tony Snow said Powell was “confused” about the White House plan. Later, Snow said he probably shouldn’t have used that word.

“I know that Colin Powell wants to beat the terrorists, too,” he said.

H.L.s Take:
Bush wants to be able to beat confessions out of people, then withold evidence that may help to exonerate them, AND He wants to change the laws to make this all legal. Why? If these “Terrorists” are guilty then why does he need to have every unfair advantage. Is it so that he can accuse anyone of being a terrorist? Once he does that, there will be no way for anyone to defend themselves. Bush is breaking the law, and finally, even Republicans are saying so.
