Denny, the Bushevik Mob is Putting a Horse's Head in Your Bed. Wake Up, They're Sending You a Message. You Violated the Bush Code of Omerta!

Excerpt:
You don't start mouthing off about the Godfather and expect that he won't notice? Come on now. My friend, it's simple: they got the power and you don't. What did you think, this was a democracy or something?

I mean you start getting all hot and bothered about your former crew member, Porter Goss, being dumped from the CIA like a stiff being dropped into Biscayne Bay. You go to the big guy (Mr. Cheney) and the little guy who pretends that he's the big guy (Mr. Fredo Bush) and tell them off. What did you expect?
Let me tell you what an elephant and a mob boss have in common: neither of them forgets.

Bill Frist and Denny Hastert only care about privacy when it's THEIR privacy in question. Do as we say not as we do?

Excerpt:
Funny. GOP House Speaker Denny Hastert and GOP Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist don't give a damn about the privacy of their constituents. Law and order is what comes first, to hell with your privacy, let the NSA eavesdrop on your phone calls, it's all for the good of America. And after all, if you have nothing to hide, then what's the problem?

Well, it seems that standard doesn't apply when it comes to THEIR OWN LIVES. It seems they're very upset that criminal congressman William Jefferson got his office searched by the feds. Which again raises the question, why are THEIR offices more sacrosanct than OUR homes?

Tabloid Tactics: It's Open Season on Gore, Clinton, Kerry...

Excerpt
Folks, it's open season on Democrats. Rightwing extremists and various media cohorts are ratcheting up their anti-Dem offensive. Not content with revisiting the Clinton bedroom, rightwingers are going after their favorite targets: Al Gore and John Kerry. Media Matters tracks the anti-Gore assault. The Daily Howler adds perspective: "Al Gore was right about global warming -- way back in the 1980s He was also right on internal combustion. And oh yes, he was right on Iraq, in a prophetic speech in September 02 -- a speech Joe Klein praised at the time. In a rational world, this would make Gore a reigning star -- but we live in the world of a millionaire press corps, and we suffer, every day, from its judgments.
