Review and Comment on the News 6/29/06
06.29.06 (7:21 am)   [edit]
If "The Evil One" were a democrat we'd be hearing all day long from the media about how great the economy is and it would define his presidency but since he is "The Evil One" I guess we'll have to pick it up in snippets:

The new snapshot of gross domestic product for the January-to-March period exceeded the 5.3 percent growth rate estimated a month ago, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. The upgraded reading - based on more complete information - matched economists' forecasts.

This
oughta be interesting.

Osama bin Laden will issue a videotaped message paying tribute to slain al-Qaida in Iraq chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a message posted on an Islamic militant Web site said Wednesday.

What are they going to do? Have a posthumous celebrity roast?

The Lizard
wheezes:

Howard "Hank"Dean accuses republicans of bashing
immigrants then proceeds to blame them for a host of other horrors, chief among them the desertification and redistricting of the Sahara Desert hundreds of thousands of years ago...

Code Pink Alert!! 
Peace Queen Hive Mother Cindy Sheehan plans hunger strike! I wonder if it will last longer than Saddam's recent attempt?

Today's Hard News may be gleaned
here.

Ripple effect from
Iraq?

Kuwaitis voted for a new parliament on Thursday with women running and casting ballots for the first time in a national poll in the Gulf Arab state.

"I don't know how to describe my feelings, I am so happy, it's a beautiful day as women practice their right," female candidate Hind al-Shaikh said. "I hope a woman makes it."

Parliament passed a law in May 2005 giving women the right to vote and stand in elections for the 50-seat National Assembly of the oil-producing country.

Officials said about 250 candidates are standing, including 28 women determined to make headway despite daunting odds of beating seasoned male opponents, many of whom are former parliamentarians seeking re-election.

This
is a huge surprise.

The New York Times defends it's patriotism:

The New York Times hit back at bitter government criticism of its decision to disclose details of a secret US anti-terror program to monitor global banking transactions.

In an editorial titled "Patriotism and the Press," the Times firmly rejected charges from President HitlerBurton W. McChimpstein and senior Republicans that the report had undermined national security and offered succour to terrorist groups.

The story bore "no resemblance to security breaches, like disclosure of troop locations, that would clearly compromise the immediate safety of specific individuals," the newspaper said.

Oh please! There's more to breaching security than disclosing troop locations. Sometimes Useful Idiots aren't aware they are being useful, hence the term "idiot."

Hamas officials arrested.  This is fucking stupid:

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees.

The ruling, a rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti- terror policies, was written by Justice John Paul Stevens, who said the proposed trials were illegal under U.S. law and Geneva conventions.

So what now? We give them civilian lawyers and try them in civilian courts? Great.

That's absolutely correct, AND the taxpayers will have to pay for it. Just incredible...

Cindy Sheehan on a hunger strike? You know, she could lose a few pounds of ugly fat. I wish her the best- is she still hanging out at the Bush ranch in Texas?

the Kuwaiti women may be celebrating now, but sooner than later I predict a suicide bomber will crash the party.
