Enema of the State-Mother Sheehan:Her book must not be selling well: I'm gonna gag. Does the "leftist playright" address the fact that Mrs. Sheehan is a liar? Once she said her encounter with Bush- as they honored her son who was killed in action- gave her closure and he was a kind man and later she said her encounter with Bush was with a heartless bastard with coke trails running from each nostril, hat on backwards, unshaven who entered the room saying "Nyah Nyah yer son's dead." That's my whole problem with "Droopy the Peace Queen Hive Mother." She lies.

Ahnold grapples with Tookie's fate... How could you allow a man to be executed with Mike Farrell pleading his case? Heartless...

Tookie's Termination is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. It won't happen. First, the federal courts are likely to grant a stay or two. After all, he was only sentenced about 24 years ago. What's the rush? Secondly, I believe that the main reason the execution of Tookie Williams won't be executed is because Schwarzenegger knows full well that as soon as Tookie's death is announced there will be riots in South Central Los Angeles and elsewhere. The huge media exploitation of this story has made drop-dead sure of that. There are thugs just waiting for an excuse ... not a reason, an excuse. The rioting, of course, will lead to wide scale looting. There are a lot of aspiring rappers and NBA superstars who could really use a nice flat-screen television right now.

Democracy marches on. Yahoo headline has a firm grasp of the obvious:

First Iraq votes cast in poll opposed by militants

Little or no Howard Dean today. Bummer. The "Secret Spa" controversy continues.

BRUSSELS -- A previously unpublished document shows that the European Union secretly agreed in 2003 to let the United States use transit facilities on European soil to transport "criminals."

The revelation supports U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's strong suggestion last week that so-called "rendition" flights were undertaken with the approval of other governments, despite denials by European officials.

Bush's brutal tax cuts (which heavily favor the wealthy at the expense of the lower and middle classes) cause anti-Muslim rampage Down Under.
