...Wow, and I thought I wanted them to stop lying

I'm always going on and on about how these televangelists: robertson, hagee, falwell, swaggart, the one that went to jail whose wife wears all that makeup, the ones that are obsessed with sex, the ones that see (and write into their bylaws) women as servants...

you know the ones... the ones who only value cellular matter, hate public schools, the ones who love war, the ones who actually believe they need to hasten the end of times fables they have taken way too seriously...

ok sorry that gets me started every time.

So I thought it would be better if they were straight with us and stop all the condescending lying they do to their sheeple. I actually feel bad for them;

...but then they go and say this:

Weyrich: “Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome — good government. They want everybody to vote. I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.

See these are the same people who want consolidate church and state (lets call it STURCH, like someone once said), but don't want too much voting.

Gee the Taliban would be proud. Cheney Proud, the Taliban stands in awe at these MotherCheniers.

BREKING NEWS, The Tuberculosis Guy...

From The Winner Of The First-Ever National Press Club Award, Andy Borowitz

TB Guy Tops Bush in New Poll
Latest Sign of Trouble for White House

In the latest erosion of President George W. Bush’s job approval rating, a new poll released today reveals that Mr. Bush is now less popular among the American people than the so-called “TB Guy,” Atlanta attorney Andrew Speaker.

While the president’s approval numbers have been in a virtual free-fall in recent months, few political insiders expected him to be trounced by Mr. Speaker, who has been accused of exposing airline passengers to tuberculosis.

Additionally, the poll results are historic in another way, since they mark the first time that a sitting president has been deemed less popular than a quarantined disease carrier.

But at the White House today, official spokesman Tony Snow tried to put a positive spin on the numbers, saying that Mr. Speaker’s poll numbers received an artificial “bounce” as a result of all of the press coverage he has received in recent days.

“If President Bush had been quarantined for spreading tuberculosis around the world, his numbers would be right up there with the TB Guy’s,” Mr. Snow claimed.

Perhaps in an attempt to change the subject, President Bush participated in a ceremony today in which he declared victory over peace activist Cindy Sheehan.

Posing in front of a banner reading “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Bush said that Ms. Sheehan’s departure from the peace movement means “I won’t have to spend this August in Crawford hiding in the barn.”

Elsewhere, getting married can have significant psychological benefits for those suffering from depression, according to a study published today in the Journal of Larry King.

Why Are You Scaring Me, I Barely Know You

Thanks PortInExile, just when my ignorance was about to turn into sweet sweet bliss I had to go and read this at your house.

"Despotic movements need paramilitary forces that operate outside the law, forces that sow fear among potential opponents, and are capable of physically silencing those branded by their leaders as traitors. And in the wrong hands, a Blackwater could well become that force. American taxpayers have so far handed a staggering $4 billion to “armed security” companies in Iraq such as Blackwater, according to House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Henry Waxman (D., Calif.)."

"Erik Prince, who founded and runs Blackwater, is a man who appears to have little time for the niceties of democracy. He has close ties with the radical Christian Right and the Bush White House. He champions his company as a patriotic extension of the U.S. military. His employees, in an act as cynical as it is dishonest, take an oath of loyalty to the Constitution. But what he and his allies have built is a mercenary army, paid for with government money, which operates outside the law and without constitutional constraint."

You know what really sucks, $4,000,000,000.00 would have gone a long way to help the families of the US ARMY soldiers fighting in Iraq. I wonder what the difference in pay is between a regular Army troop compared to one of Erik's rent-a-troop. Oh and didn't Bush just oppose a 3.5 percent pay raise for U.S. soldiers and a $40/month increase in benefits for military widows. CHENEY ME!!!

McCain Just Made Sense... on immigration.

Wow, I think I liked him for a minute... His little talk right after he tells Tancredo "Muchas Gracias".

Some highlights:
-Spanish spoken in his state before English;
-Hispanic names on the graves in the military cemeteries;
-The strengthening of America with every wave of immigrants in its history.

Oh and he did Cheney Cornyn, so that's two times i liked him... look at me praying at the Altar of Saint McCain.
But then I remember this, and this, and I totally spit on the incense.

Cheney This!!! fyi: in this blog 'Cheney' stands in for the F word

Ok, I think that when you lie to our kids then you have gone too far. You can lie to us adults all you want, hell like the saying goes: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Kids may not understand that a man who hunts men might be lying to them because not only does he shoot his friend he lies like cheneying televangelist.
I thought school was supposed to be a place where a parent could send their kids and feel confident about their safety. Then you get home and find out your kids are getting mindcheneyed.
Oh yeah, SHAME ON US... and shame on cheneying Cheney.

Lou Dobbs is a Liar... oh and he values the opinions of bigots

Yup, he says things that are not true, but don't tell him that because here's what you get:

• “Well, I can tell you this,” he replied. “If we reported it, it’s a fact.” (nytimes)

see that's funny, because you know that's a lie. Go read the article for more funnery.

...and about the racists whose opinion he values so much, its true, meet some of his experts.

You need help Lou... you need an intervention.

You Happy Puppet

I don't know why, but this song can be about so many things... all I know is that when I read it Bush and Tony Blair pop into my head.

There is one thing I hate about it... its the way the lyrics mock me, the way they know I'll never be able to write something as good as they are.

YOU HAPPY PUPPET
Natalie Merchant / Christian Burial Music © 1989

how did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?

how did you learn everything that comes along with slavish funnery?

tell me something, if the world is so insane,is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?

how did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?how do you manage to live inside this tiny stage you can't leave?

tell me something, if the world is so insane,is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?

a dullard strung on the wire when the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless how did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string?

how do you manage to speak, your mouth a frozen grin?

a dullard strung on the wire when the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless tell me something, if the world is so insane,is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your empty woodenhead?

your hollow head, your marble eyes, your wooden hands and your metal jaw pins all wait in limbo for the man who knows how to move you this way.

Natalie Merchant is very good.

Sometimes people can look just like the rest of the demonstrators, but maybe they show up to give violence a nudge.

Don't you understand we need him to destabilize over there, so he doesn't destabilize over here.

Oh wait a minute... alberto, scalito, mc rove, cheney, domestic spying, katrina (the response), signing statements, schiavo, butchering the english language, envoy to Ashcroft's bedside......... etcetera.

The Attorney General's Bedside Manner... or i never thought i'd feel bad for Ashcroft

I've been reading Mr. Greenwald and he is unbad...

"There is just no excuse left for allowing the administration to keep this behavior concealed from the country. What James Comey described on Tuesday is the behavior of a government completely unmoored from any constraints of law, operating only by the rules of thuggery, intimidation, and pure lawlessness. Even for the most establishment-defending organs, there are now indisputably clear facts suggesting that the scope and breadth and brazenness of the lawbreaking here is far beyond even what was known previously, and it occurred at the highest levels of the Bush administration."

On the Topic of Edwards $400.00 Haircuts

Ok so I find that 400 bucks is a little too much for ONE haircut, I still like Edwards. I just think that if you take into consideration the guy with the stripped shirt will spend a tenth of that on haircuts his entire life... not only that but he will not comb it, then between the two they average out to normal hair maintenance.

So why am I posting this? Because I took that picture, and having seen these two extreme opposites in hair care, I thought it would bring context to the Edwards Hair Scandal.
