Quotes
"It's officially autumn. In many parts
of the country,
the leaves are starting to turn
brown and fall to the ground.
Today, Jerry Falwell blamed it
on gays and lesbians.
He also predicted of they continue
their behavior,
the days will get shorter and
it will become colder".
-- Jay Leno
Question
I know a lot of people are concerned about Bill Maher.
I'll bet you're getting flooded with the same "Save
Bill Maher," petitions that I am,
and I'm all for saving his show, but he doesn't seem to
be too concerned.
He didn't mention it on his show last night - I wonder why?
If I was in his position, I'd want to let people know what's going
on, and say,
"This could be my last week with ABC,
so let's make it a good show,"
so people would know how close I was to being out the door.

Subject: Misunderestimate
BC,
The Washington Post quotes Bush as saying "misunderestimate"
5
(yes, five!) times in his CIA speech.
I could kick myself for giving him the benefit
of the doubt
on the first one when he tried to correct himself
to "misunderstood."
Eric
Eric,
I'm damn surprised they actually printed what he said.
Usually, the whore press "fixes" his mistakes so fewer people will remember
that Bush has been told the correct word to use a dozen times
by Teacher Condi,
but he has an atrophied brain and he cannot think or remember instructions.
Interview
with God
as seen on TheOnion.com
Excerpt:
Worshipped by Christians, Jews, and Muslims
alike, God said
His name has been invoked countless times
over the centuries
as a reason to kill in what He called "an
unending cycle of violence."
Great article
White House
Whitewashers
by Jake Tapper at salon.com
Excerpt:
"There was plenty of reason for the president
to get to a secure communications base as soon as
possible on September 11, and plenty
of reason to avoid Washington during an extremely uncertain time.
So why the lies? Were these people spinning
at a time of grave national crisis?"

Subject: The Republicans Wet Dream
For all of those who are intent upon retaliation/revenge for the WTC attacks, I always have two questions:
1. Would be willing to forego responding
in any way,
if it meant that
no more American lives would be lost?
Sure, but you're talking against science and
logic.
You're talking about a Magic Genie (or God)
appearing with an iron-clad guarantee.
I answered your question because I hate it
when people fail to answer mine.
2. Are you willing to risk retaliation/revenge
even if it means that more American lives
will be lost than those
of our enemies? (not even counting those already killed in the attack).
You bet your ass.
3. Was America and the world more in danger during the Cuban Missile Crisis or now?
Much more then.
Sure, we lost a great
deal here, but we didn't know in October of 1962 that the nukes
in Cuba were already
armed and ready. If Castro had launched on Miami, we would've
lost millions,
and then we would've launched on Russia, Cuba and East Germany.
Of course, smarter people
might disagree.
I have a question for you:
A. If we're not going to use our satellites now,
if we're not going to
use our state-of-the-art weapons now,
if we're not going to
use our invisible flying warships now,
if we're not going to
use our CIA moles now,
if we're not going to
use our courage to get these murderers now,
don't you think we should
just surrender and save the billions we spend on defense?

Search of the Elusive Right-Wing Sense of Humor: Revisited

Don't you think it's a mistake for the already-delayed Emmy Awards
to be
promising a somber and formal statue dissemination instead of
a great big party?
It's still 2 weeks away, and Jay, Dave, Jon and Conan et al
have started to put their blues away,
so I'm calling on the TV Academy, or whatever bullshit name they
gave themselves to sound important
to remind America that they are in the ENTERTAINMENT business.
Y'know - SHOW business, as in "Let's put on a show for the people to watch."
Walter Cronkite's going to kick off the evening with a downer
speech and get a morose tone
started for these entertainers, some of whom will be having the
biggest night of their careers
Reconsider, Hollywood.
BTW, here is my Emmy
Report from last year.
I was right on every pick.
(cough)
I'll do a 2001 report as we get closer to the big night.
Gut-Check
by William Rivers Pitt
From: edward@muffeletta.com
Subject: Why did we have a President Clinton instead of a President Gebhardt?
Because back at the height of the Gulf War, when
most politicians saw Bush the Elder as unbeatable,
our last elected president saw an opportunity.
Gebhardt gave up and folded his tent before he even
started, then was kicking himself because he
had no funding or infrastructure by the time big Bush
was tanking It will be the same way with
the chimp, BC.
His poll numbers make him unbeatable *now*, but
in the patriotic fervor of Americans usually fades fast.
In six months, it will be safe to challenge.
By the time of the '04 New Hampshire primary, he'll be beatable,
just like daddy. It's important for Democrats
contemplating the White House to remember that and continue
to plan as if his current approvals were in the
40% range.
Cheers,
Ed.
Ed, great point.
You're right - Clinton saw it coming, but he had vision.
I'll keep saying it - whoever wants to lead the Demos in 2004 needs
to step up now,
instead of waiting until the summer of 2003 to stumble forward.
Whoever is out there, the time to step up is now.
Take a stand, take a chance.
Your country needs you now.
We're damn sure not getting any leadership from Smirk the Skirt...
Guest Editorial
Two
Enemies
by marc@perkel.com
We the People of the United States of America are facing two enemies.
One enemy is the terrorists
who blew up the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The other enemy
is our own government
who has launched a war on freedom and the Constitution. Congress is
in the process of passing laws
that overturn our civil liberties and undermine the very freedoms that
make us who we are.
The new laws, which are being passed in the heat of the moment, give
the government the powers to
spy on law abiding citizens, to search your home, to listen in on your
phone calls, and to arrest anyone
they don’t like under the pretense of terrorism laws. These laws give
the government the same powers
of the former Soviet Union to oppress people who love freedom and care
about the vision of our
forefathers who founded this nation as a country of free people.
Before we return to McCarthyism, I urge Congress to slow down and think
before overturning the
Constitution in the heat of the moment. We the People are prepared
to fight for our freedom, even if
the enemy is our own government. We ask Congress not to finish the
terrorist work by taking away
the very thing that makes us great. We can’t fight a war on terrorism
if we are fighting a civil war at
the same time. All I am asking is that Congress should slow down enough
to think before they act.

Subject: Whose Heaven Are We Talking About Anyway?
Let's see, the hijackers believed that they were
going to heaven the moment that they hit their targets.
The born again Christians believed that they
were going to heaven the moment that they died.
What's the right answer?
a. the hijackers
went to heaven
b. the Christians
went to heaven
c. they all went
to their seperate heavens
d. no one went
to heaven
e. they all went
to the same heaven
f. none of the
above
I'm confused.

Quotes
"When I take action, I'm not going to
fire a $2 million missile at a
$10 empty tent and hit a camel
in the butt. It's going to be decisive."
-- Bush to four senators, Sept. 14, according
to Newsweek.
Newspaper
columnist fired after telling the truth
I guess he made Mr. Rove angry - you just can't do that
in America's press
Excerpt:
The Daily Courier has fired a columnist
who wrote about Bush "hiding in a Nebraska hole"
instead of returning to Washington immediately
after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
This has nothing to do with anything, saw something on the news
that reminded me,
but there was a guy maybe fifteen years ago who was a guest on
Letterman.
This is swear-to-Koresh, I saw it myself, some guy got a piece
of crap lawn chair from
Wal-Mart, a $6.95 two-pound plastic lawn chair and attached helium
balloons to it
and actually floated around Los Angeles for hours and lived to
tell about it.
The way I remember it, he was spotted by pilots flying in to LAX,
and then he drifted out to sea, but I don't remember how the
story ended.
I mean, he was on Dave with some film, so it happened and he
lived thru it,
I just don't remember all the details.
One thing, tho, this SOB was up there.
This wasn't some 600 foot ride in the sky.
He was at 12,000 feet or 20,00 feet or something, wasn't he?
That's how the pilots spotted him, he was in their lanes.
...and wasn't he drunk when he did this?
I see him holding a drink in his hand while "flying,"
If any of you locator people run into this, and send the link
...I'll, ...I'll, ...I'll
grant you one wish.
The Wartime Opportunists
Excerpt:
Not wishing to be outdone, Senator Frank
Murkowski, R-Alaska, didn't wait long to explain
how the terror attack makes it imperative
to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
(ANWR). "There is no doubt that at this
time of national emergency, an expedited
energy-security bill must be considered,"
the Alaska senator announced last week.
"Opening ANWR will be a central element in finally
reducing this country's
dangerous overdependence on unstable
foreign sources of energy," he said.

With a name like that, it's gotta be good, right?

Quotes
"Just because America's headed to War
doesn't mean that Bush DIDN'T steal the election.
It's just too bad so many people
are giving up when they need to speak up the most.
If today's liberals were around
225 years ago, we'd all have bad teeth
and be drivin' on the wrong side
of the road today.
But then, we'd have a leader
that we didn't elect, so maybe things aren't that much different."
-- Kevin Cunningham at politicalstrikes.com
The NY Fire Commissioner was on Dave last night.
He said they had 65 years worth of on-the-job losses on
Sept 11th.
Then there's the legend of Patty Brown, if I have the name
right.
I know they lost him, too, and they kept saying he was the real
deal,
but I never saw a link and I haven't got around to digging that
up.
If anyone knows of a good Patty Brown link, send it to
me, would you?
(I couldn't find any, ...I may have the name wrong, but he sure
sounded like the type of guy
I'd be proud to sit at a bar with and sip on a few shots of some
fine Chinaco Anejo....)
The way they were talking, he's like Robbie Kneivel without the big paycheck.
What?
ABC Radio said today that Weak & Stupid is against
pilots having guns.
What the hell goes on in that boy's brain?
He made it legal for every inbred nimrod in Texas to bring his
guns to football games,
to church services (for Koresh's sake) and even to the damn courthouse,
where lives are shattered and kids are taken away from their
enraged fathers.
...but a pilot for a major airline can't be trusted?
One of the most highly-trained civilians in the American work
force, who daily has hundreds
of lives in his hands several times a day can't be trusted to
own and handle a firearm?
If you agree with Smirk, and think armed pilots are a bad idea, please tell me why.
