Ok, I'll try it again...
John Kerry: The second guessing and ankle biting continues unabated:
U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D- Mass., who was in town Sunday to help Gov. Jennifer Granholm campaign for her re-election bid, took time to take a jab at the Bush administration for its lack of leadership in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict. "If I was president, this wouldn't have happened," said Kerry during a noon stop at Honest John's bar and grill in Detroit's Cass Corridor. Bush has been so concentrated on the war in Iraq that other Middle East tension arose as a result, he said.
Didn't you vote for the Iraq War? Wasn't it you engaging in all the unilateralist cowboy rhetoric in the late '90s regarding Saddam? "Saddam is a threat to the region and the world with his WMD programs blah, blah, blah." Fucking drip...
Note to Mother Sheehan: This is how you carry out a hunger strike:
SADDAM Hussein was being fed through a tube yesterday after 16 days on hunger strike. His lawyers accused America of force-feeding him, but the US military said Saddam was "voluntarily" receiving nutrition through a feeding tube after being taken to hospital. "To avoid a deterioration in his health he was taken to hospital for medical attention and food was given to him through his mouth," the chief prosecutor, Jaafar al-Moussawi, said. "He will not be able to attend the session tomorrow."
...so lay off the Orange Julius Smoothies and Protein Shakes. Climate Change shuts down MySpace.com:
MySpace, the world's most popular networking website, has restarted after being shut down for more than half a day following a power cut. The company blamed the closure on record-breaking heat in Los Angeles where its data servers are held. The high temperatures caused "massive power outages" a spokesman for the company said.
Condi Rice heads to the Middle East:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made an unannounced visit to Beirut on Monday in a show of support for that country's weakened democracy, which is struggling to contain the fighting between the Hezbollah militia and Israel. Rice met with Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora, who greeted her with a kiss on both cheeks. Rice told him, "Thank you for your courage and steadfastness." Saniora told Rice he was glad to have her in Lebanon, adding that his government is looking to "put an end to the war that is being inflicted on Lebanon."
This trip wouldn't be necessary if John Kerry were president. Flowers and a box of mints would've been enough.
Today Hard News may be gleaned here.
Cindy Sheehan meets Jerry Falwell: The ACLUseless has hitched it's star to Fred Phelps: The church and the Rev. Fred Phelps say God is allowing troops, coal miners and others to be killed because the United States tolerates gay men and lesbians.
Coal miners?? What about insurance adjusters, prep cooks and cleaning women? Why just troops and coal miners? Maybe they qualify as "others." Circus kangaroo on the loose in Ireland:
A kangaroo is roaming the green hills of Ireland after escaping a circus near the picturesque port of Kinsale. "This kangaroo broke loose just before the show while they were bringing him from the cages to the arena. He decided to take a walk," said local farmer John Walsh on whose land the 2-year-old male, named Sydney, made his break for freedom. Circus staff launched a fruitless four-hour search following the escape Sunday.
This would not have happened were John Kerry President, we wouldn't be bogged down in Iraq and the kangaroo would have been quickly apprehended.
No more breast implants for Hurricane victims:
The Department of Homeland Security, responding to months of criticism and ridicule, is revamping several of its core disaster relief programs, enacting changes that will include sharply cutting emergency cash assistance for victims of major disasters, and more carefully controlling access to free hotel rooms.
We can't drill for oil off the coast of Florida but Cuba can:
Cuba is drilling for oil 60 miles off the coast of Florida with help from China, Canada and Spain even as Congress struggles to end years of deadlock over drilling for what could be a treasure trove of offshore oil and gas.
R epublicans in Congress have tried repeatedly in the past decade to open up the outer continental shelf to exploration, and Florida's waters hold some of the most promising prospects for major energy finds. Their efforts have been frustrated by opposition from Florida, California and environmental-minded legislators from both parties.
...what will TreePeace (or whatever they're called) say? This wouldn't have happened if John Kerry were president. We wouldn't be bogged down in Iraq and the Cubans, Chinese, Canadians and Spaniards wouldn't have sneaked in there and stolen our capitalist pig oil...this is Bush's fault of course...Jeb that is.
