1. NEW RESEARCH BLOG: Hiding the Truth? President Bush's Need-to-Know
Democracy

The breadth and scope of the Bush administration's clamp down on information
is the largest such effort to restrict public disclosure since World War II.
Conservatives like Larry Klayman are calling this administration, "the most
secretive of our lifetime." Liberals like Gary Bass said the U.S. "is moving
from a society based on the right to know to one based on the need-to-know."
Check out the report that chronicles the Bush administration's unprecedented
restrictions on the public and the media's access to information.

2. TODAY'S MISLEAD: Halliburton Announces Record Profits While
Administration Continues to Rebuff Congressional Oversight

President Bush has consistently promoted open and competitive procurement
practices for U.S. government contracts. But the government announced
yesterday that Halliburton's original no-bid contract for oil-related work
would be renewed until at least the end of the year, despite an assertion in
the spring by the Army Corps of Engineers that the contract was "designed
from the outset as a bridge to competition."

FUNDING FOR NATIONAL PARKS IS DIVERTED TO PAY FOR PRIVATIZATION

President Bush has called our national parks the "crown jewel of America's
recreation system."   His words are not borne out in action, however, as new
funding for parks maintenance is diverted toward paying for privatization of
1,700 agency jobs.

yesterday.
>
> Waxman called the list "scientific McCarthyism" that represents an

Heaven or hell ...

   While walking down the street one day, George "Dubya"  Bush is shot by
a disgruntled NRA member. His soul arrives in heaven and he is met by
St.Peter at the Pearly Gates.
   "Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems
there is a problem: We seldom see a Republican around these parts, so
we're not sure what to do with you."
      "No problem, just let me in; I'm a believer." says Dubya.
      "I'd like to just let you in, but I have orders from the Man
Himself: He says you have to spend one day in Hell and one day in
Heaven.  Then you must choose where you'll live for eternity."
      "But, I've already made up my mind; I want to be in Heaven."
      "I'm sorry, but we have our rules."  And with that, St.  Peter
escorts him to an elevator and he goes down, down, down, all the way to
Hell.
      The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a lush golf
course; the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, the temperature a perfect
72 degrees. In the distance is a beautiful clubhouse. Standing in front
of it is dad...and thousands of other Republicans who had helped him out
over the years: Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Jerry Falwell.... The whole of
the "Right" was there...everyone laughing...happy.... casually but
expensively dressed. They run to greet him, hug him, and reminisce about
the good times they had getting rich at expense of the "suckers and
peasants". They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster
and caviar.
      The Devil himself comes up to Bush with a frosty drink, "Have a
Margarita and relax, Dubya!".   "Uh, I can't drink no more, I took a
pledge," says Junior, dejectedly.
      "This is Hell, son: you can drink and eat all you want and not
worry, and it just gets better from there!"
      Dubya takes the drink and finds himself liking the Devil, who he
thinks is a really very friendly guy who tells funny jokes and pulls
hilarious nasty pranks, kind of like a Yale Skull and Bones brother with
real horns.
      They are having such a great time that, before he realizes it, it's
time to go. Everyone gives him a big hug and waves as Bush steps on the
elevator and heads upward.
      When the elevator door reopens, he is in Heaven again and St. Peter
is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit Heaven," the old man says,
opening the gate.
      So for 24 hours Bush is made to hang out with a bunch of honest,
good- natured people who enjoy each other's company, talk about things
other than money, and treat each other decently. Not a nasty prank or
frat boy joke among them; no fancy country clubs and, while the food
tastes great, it's not caviar or lobster. And these people are all poor,
he doesn't see anybody he knows, and he isn't even treated like someone
special!  Worst of all, to Dubya, Jesus turns out to be some kind of
Jewish hippie with his endless 'peace' and 'do unto others' jive.
        "Whoa," he says uncomfortably to himself, "Pat Robertson never
prepared me for this!"
      The day done, St. Peter returns and says, "Well, then, you've spent
a day in Hell and a day in Heaven. Now choose where you want to live for
eternity."
      With the 'Jeopardy' theme playing softly in the background, Dubya
reflects for a minute, then answers:  "Well, I would never have thought
I'd say this-I mean, Heaven has been delightful and all-but I really
think I belong in Hell with my friends."
      So Saint Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,
down, all the way to Hell.
      The doors of the elevator open and he is in the middle of a barren
scorched earth covered with garbage and toxic industrial waste.. kind of
like Houston. He is horrified to see all of his friends, dressed in rags
and chained together, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags.
They are groaning and moaning in pain, faces and hands black with grime.
The Devil comes over to Dubya and puts an arm around his shoulder.
      "I don't understand," stammers a shocked Dubya, "Yesterday I was
here and there was a golf course and a clubhouse and we ate lobster and
caviar... drank booze. We screwed around and had a great time. Now
there's just a wasteland full of garbage and everybody looks miserable!"
      The Devil looks at him, smiles slyly, and purrs, "Yesterday we were
campaigning; today you voted for us."

"In rivers and bad governments, the lightest things swim at the top."
---Benjamin Franklin

A German doctor says:  "That's nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another and have him looking for work in four weeks."

 

A Russian doctor says:  "In my country, medicine is so advanced we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another and have them both looking for work in two weeks."

Who's Exaggerating Now?

Bush Exaggerates, Misinforms, Misleads and Waffles 24 Times in One Debate!

Compiled by Jerry Politex at Bush Watch:
http://pearly-abraham.tripod.com/htmls/bushlies1.html

1. Bush: "We went into Russia, we said, 'Here's some IMF money,' and
it ended up in Viktor Chernomyrdin's pocket and others."

Fact: "Bush appears to have tangled up whispers about possible
wrongdoing by Chernomyrdin -- who co-chaired a commission with Gore on
U.S.-Russian relations -- with other unrelated allegations concerning
the diversion of International Monetary Fund money. While there has
been speculation that Chernomyrdin profited from his relationship with
Gazprom, a big Russian energy concern, there have been no allegations
that he stole IMF money." Washingon Post, 10/12/00

2. Bush: "We got one [a hate crime law] in Texas, and guess what? The
three men who murdered James Byrd, guess what's going to happen to
them? They're going to be put to death ... It's going to be hard to
punish them any worse after they get put to death....We're happy with
our laws on our books."

Fact: "The three were convicted under Texas' capital murder
statute...The state has a hate crime statute, but it is vague." LA
Times, 10/12/00.
"The original Texas hate-crimes bill, signed into law by Democrat Ann
Richards, boosted penalties for crimes motivated by bigotry. As Gore
correctly noted, Bush maneuvered to make sure a new hate-crimes law
related to the Byrd killing did not make it to his desk. The new bill
would have included homosexuals among the groups covered, which would
have been anathema to social conservatives in the state." Washington
Post, 10/12/00

3. Bush: bragged that in Texas he was signing up children for the
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) as "fast as any other state."

Fact: "As governor he fought to unsuccessfully to limit access to the
program. He would have limited its coverage to children with family
incomes up to 150 percent of the poverty level, though federal law
permitted up to 200 percent. The practical effect of Bush's efforts
would have been to exclude 200,000 of the 500,000 possible enrollees."
Washington Post, 10/12/00

4. Bush: "He [Gore] is for registration of guns."

Fact: "Gore actually favors licensing for new handgun purchasers but
nothing as vast as registering all guns." Salon, 10/12/00

5. Bush: Said he found Gore's tendency to exaggerate "an issue in
trying to defend my tax relief package. There was some exaggeration
about the numbers" in the first debate.

Fact: "No, there wasn't, and Bush himself acknowledged that the next
day on ABC's Good Morning America when Charlie Gibson pinned him on
it." Salon, 10/12/00

6. Bush: "I felt during his debate with Senator [Bill] Bradley saying
he [Gore] authored the EITC [earned-income tax credit] when it didn't
happen."

Fact: "Actually, Gore had claimed to have authored an 'expansion of
the earned-income tax credit,' which he did in 1991." Salon, 10/12/00

7. Fact: Gore noted that Texas "ranks 49th out of the 50 states in
healthcare in children with healthcare, 49th for women with healthcare
and 50th for families with healthcare"

Bush: "You can quote all the numbers you want but I'm telling you we
care about our people in Texas. We spent a lot of money to make sure
people get healthcare in the state of Texas."

8. Fact: Gore said, "I'm no expert on the Texas procedures, but what
my friends there tell me is that the governor opposed a measure put
forward by Democrats in the Legislature to expand the number of
children that would be covered ... And instead [he] directed the money
toward a tax cut, a significant part of which went to wealthy interests."

Bush: "If he's trying to allege I'm a hardhearted person and don't
care about children, he's absolutely wrong."

9. Bush: "The three men who murdered James Byrd, guess what's going to
happen to them? They'll be put to death. A jury found them guilty."

Fact: Two of the three are being put to death. The other was given
life. Bush Watch, 10/12/00

10. Bush: said he favored "equal" rights for gays and lesbians, but
not "special" rights.

Fact: "Bush has supported a Texas law that allows the state to take
adopted children from gay and lesbian couples to place the kids with
straight couples." Salon, 10/12/00.
"Bush supports hate crime protections for other minorities! So Bush
doesn't believe that gays should have the same 'special' rights in
this regard as blacks, Jews, Wiccans and others. Employment
discrimination? Again, Bush supports those rights for other Americans,
but not gays. Military service? Bush again supports the right to
military service for all qualified people--as long as they don't tell
anyone they're gay. Marriage? How on earth is that a special right
when every heterosexual in America already has it? But again, Bush
thinks it should be out-of-bounds for gays. What else is there? The
right to privacy? Nuh-huh. Bush supports a gays-only sodomy law in his
own state that criminalizes consensual sex in private between two
homosexuals." New Republic, 10/13/00

11. Bush. "We ought to do everything we can to end racial profiling."

Fact: The Texas Department of Public Safety has just this year begun
keeping detailed information about the race and sex of all people
stopped by its troopers, the sixth year Bush has been in office.
Salon, 10/12/00

12. Bush got caught not giving the full story on Texas air pollution
laws. He was correct in saying the 1999 utility deregulation bill he
signed into law had mandatory emissions standards.

Fact: "What was missing, as Gore's campaign pointed out, was that many
more non-utility industrial plants are not mandated to reduce air
quality. The issue is an important one because Texas ranks near the
bottom in air-quality standards. Bush instead approved a voluntary
program allowing grandfathered oil, coal, and other industrial plants
to cut down on pollution." Boston Globe, 10/12/00

13. Bush: About the Balkans, "I think it ought to be one of our
priorities to work with our European friends to convince them to put
troops on the ground."

Fact: "European forces already make up a large majority of the
peacekeeping forces in Bosnia and Kosovo." Washington Post, 10/12/00

14. Bush: "One of the problems we have in the military is we're in a
lot of places around the world" and cited Haiti as an example.

Fact: "Though approximately 20,000 U.S. troops went to Haiti in 1994,
as of late August this year, there were only 109 U.S. troops in Haiti
and most were rotating through as part of an exercise." Washington
Post, 10/12/00

15. Bush: "I don't think we ought to be selling guns to people who
shouldn't have them. That's why I support instant background checks at
gun shows. One of the reasons we have an instant background check is
so that we instantly know whether or not someone should have a gun or
not."

Fact: "Bush overstates the effectiveness of instant background checks
for people trying to buy guns ... The Los Angeles Times reported on
Oct. 3 that during Bush's term as governor, Texas granted licenses for
carrying concealed guns to hundreds of people with criminal records
and histories of drug problems, violence or psychological disorders."
Washington Post, 10/12/00
"He didn't mention that Texas failed to perform full background checks
on 407 people who had prior criminal convictions but were granted
concealed handgun licenses under a law he signed in 1995. Of those, 71
had convictions that should have excluded them from having a concealed
gun permit, the Texas Department of Public Safety acknowledged." AP,
10/12/00

16. Bush:"Said the number of Texans without health insurance had
declined while the number in the United States had risen."

Fact: " A new Census Bureau report says the number of uninsured
Americans declined last year for the first time since statistics were
kept in 1987. About 42.5 million people, or 15.5 percent of the
population, lacked insurance in 1999, compared with 44.2 million, or
16.3 percent, in 1998, the agency reported. Texas ranked next-to-last
in the nation last year with 23.3 percent of its residents uninsured.
But that was an improvement from 1998, when it ranked 50th at 24.5
percent." AP, 10/12/00

17. Bush: "Some of the scientists, I believe, Mr. Vice President,
haven't they been changing their opinion a little bit on global warming?"

Fact: "Bush's dismissive comments about global warming could bolster
the charge that he and fellow oilman Dick Cheney are in the pocket of
the oil industry, which likewise pooh-poohs the issue. [While] there
is no consensus about the impact of global warming, ... most
scientists agree that humans are contributing to the rising global
temperature. 'Most climate experts are certain that global warming is
real and that it threatens ecology and human prosperity, and a growing
number say it is well under way,' wrote New York Times science writer
Andrew Revkin." Salon, 10/13/00

18. Bush: When Jim Lehrer asked Bush if he approved of the U.S.
intervention in Lebanon during the Reagan years, Bush answered a quick
"yes" and moved on.

Fact: "Lebanon was a disaster in the history of American foreign
affairs. Next to Iran-Contra, it was the Reagan administration's
greatest overseas fiasco. Quoting from the Encyclopedia of the
American Presidency: '[In 1983] Reagan stumbled into a disastrous
intervention in the Middle East when he sent U.S. Marines into Lebanon
on an ill-defined mission as part of an international peacekeeping
force.' In December, according to Reagan biographer Edmund Morris,
'two days before Christmas, a Pentagon commission of inquiry into the
Beirut barracks bombing humiliated [Secretary of State] Shultz [who
had backed the intervention], and embarrassed Reagan, by concluding
that the dead Marines had been victims of a myopic Middle Eastern
policy.'" tompaine.com, 10/11/00

19. Bush: "I thought the president made the right decision in joining
NATO and bombing Serbia. I supported him when they did so."

Fact: The bombing of Serbia began on March 24, 1999, and Bush did not
express even measured support until April 8, 1999 -- nearly two weeks
later. Prior to April 8, 1999, every comment by Bush about the bombing
was non-committal. Finally, he offered a measured endorsement: "It's
important for the United States to be slow to engage the military, but
once the military is engaged, it must be engaged with one thing in
mind, and that is victory," he said after being pressed by reporters.
A Houston Chronicle story documented the Governor's statements on the
crisis and reported that "Bush has been widely criticized for being
slow to adopt a position on Kosovo and then for making vague
statements on the subject." Houston Chronicle, 4/9/99

20. Bush: Discussing International Loans: "And there's some pretty
egregious examples recently, one being Russia where we had IMF loans
that ended up in the pockets of a lot of powerful people and didn't
help the nation."

Fact: Bush's own vice presidential candidate, Dick Cheney, lobbied for
U.S.-backed loan to Russia that helped his own company. "Halliburton
Co. lobbied for and received $ 292 million in loan guarantees to
develop one of the world's largest oil fields in Russia. Cheney said:
'This is exactly the type of project we should be encouraging if
Russia is to succeed in reforming its economy ... We at Halliburton
appreciate the support of the Export-Import Bank and look forward to
beginning work on this important project.." PR Newswire 4/6/2000.
The State Department, armed with a CIA report detailing corruption by
Halliburton's Russian partner, invoked a seldom-used prerogative and
ordered suspension of the loan. The loan guarantee "ran counter to
America's 'national interest," the State Department ruled. New
Republic, 8/7/00

21. Bush "There's a lot of talk about trigger locks being on guns sold
in the future. I support that."

Fact: When asked in 1999, if he was in support of mandatory safety
locks, Bush said, " No, I'm not, I'm for voluntary safety locks on
guns." In March of 2000, Bush said he would not push for trigger lock
legislation, but would sign it if it passed [Washington Post,
3/3/00;ABC, Good Morning America, 5/10/99]. When Bush was asked, "when
two bills were introduced in the Texas legislature to require the sale
of child safety locks with newly purchased handguns, and you never
addressed the issue with the legislature, and both bills died. If you
support it, why did that happen?" Bush said, "Because those bills had
no votes in committee." When asked again if he supported the bills,
Bush said, "I wasn't even aware of those bills because they never even
got out of committee." NBC, Today Show, 5/12/00

22. Bush: "Africa is important and we've got to do a lot of work in
Africa to promote democracy and trade." Fact "While Africa may be
important, it doesn't fit into the national strategic interests, as
far as I can see them," Bush said earlier. When he was asked for his
vision of the U.S. national interests, he named every continent except
Africa. According to Time magazine, "[Bush] focused exclusively on big
ticket issues ... Huge chunks of the globe -- Africa and Latin
America, for example -- were not addressed at all." Time, 12/6/99; PBS
News Hour, 2/16/00; Toronto Star, 2/16/00

23. Bush: "There's only been one governor ever elected to back-to-back
four year terms and that was me."

Fact: The governors who served two consecutive four-year terms
(meeting Bush's statement criteria are): Coke R. Stevenson (2
consecutive 4-year terms) August 4, 1941-January 21, 1947. Allan
Shivers (2 consecutive four-year terms) July 11, 1949-January 15,
1957. Price Daniel (2 consecutive four-year terms) January 15,
1957-January 15, 1963. John Connally (2 consecutive four-year terms)
January 15, 1963-January 21, 1969. Dolph Briscoe (2 consecutive
four-year terms) January 16, 1973-January 16, 1979. George W. Bush (2
consecutive four-year terms) January 17, 1995 to present. Source:
Texas State Libraries and Archives Commission.

24. Bush: "We spend $4.7 billion a year on the uninsured in the state
of Texas."

Fact: The state of Texas came up with less than $1B for this purpose.
$3.5 came from local governments, private providers, and charities,
$198M from the federal government, and just less than $1B from Texas
state agencies. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

put me on your lists mr bush

Add Me to Your Lists
by Alan Morse

Add me to your lists Mr. Bush.

Send my name to Mr. Ashcroft. Forward it to the FBI, the local police,
the INS and the IRS.

Make sure your Secret Service takes note.

Copy my name to every blacklist, enemies list, security list, and
watch list your scribes scribble.

While you detain activists at airports, I am ashamed to travel
unchallenged.

While you abduct untold, unnamed foreign-born Americans, I am ashamed
to sleep in my own bed.

While you steal food, not just rights, from millions of families, I am
ashamed to eat.

I am ashamed to wear new clothes; ashamed to drive; ashamed to share
ill-gotten wealth with your kind; even ashamed I can provide better
for my little daughter than almost any father on earth.

I am not a threat to you, but I stand with billions. God is not on my
side–or yours–but the best traditions of freedom, right, and
non-violent resistance are with me. I stand alongside the Senator your
intern calls senile. I stand with the Congresswoman your operatives
unseated in the primaries. I stand with the loud but lonely voices of
those in print and broadcast media who are not afraid to challenge
you. I stand with the growing number of principled government clerks
who quietly undermine you. I stand with countless noble people across
the world who are no longer cowed by bully-America.

I am but one speck you can blow aside, but even your family and
friends can't ignore legions of us. In your ignorance, you have
wakened forces that will bring you down.

You remind me of forgotten traditions: ancestors who fought
non-violently for peace in eighteenth century Virginia; antecedents
who broke nineteenth century laws to help slaves to freedom; parents'
siblings who aided conscientious objectors during World War II; my own
non-violent resistance to Vietnam, and more recently, to Reagan's
adventures in Nicaragua.

Your adept predecessors persuaded with honey and intelligence, but
your ignorance now shakes us. For that, and for that alone, I thank
you. Now we will resist and topple your kind.

You have guns, bombs, but we have the power of non-violent resistance.
Those who read know that firepower is laughable in the face of such
force. Be afraid, Mr. Bush, and all who serve yourselves in backing
this fragile regime, for you have germinated the seeds of your downfall.

We do not threaten your person or your pathetic toys, but we will cast
you on the trash-heap of history. You can lead only by our
consent...that, you have squandered.

Add me to your lists, Mr. Bush. I may be insignificant, but wait. I
have time, history, and numbers on my side, and I am not the tiniest
bit afraid of you.

Alan Morse lives in Phillips, Maine.

Here's my favorite Dubya joke:

 

An Israeli doctor says:  "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another and have him looking for work in six weeks."

 

A German doctor says:  "That's nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another and have him looking for work in four weeks."

 

A Russian doctor says:  "In my country, medicine is so advanced we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another and have them both looking for work in two weeks."

Bush ,Ashcroft. and the rest of them  killers need to go. I am
proud to be on Bushes shitlist and I will stay on his shitlist,cause
this shit aint going away, anytime soon. I am sick of the lies, the
stealing of money from the poor, the use of deadly depleted uranium
weapons.(one d.u. tank sabot round will make 5 acres of land
uninhabitable for 4.5 billion years). This will be a long uphill
battle, But I am not going anywhere, I am digging in.Support our
troops by bringing them home.

Here I am Aron, proud to be on the bu$h schitt list, so why not
start with a good joke that will surely keep me on the list.
~ ~ ~Magginkat ~ ~ ~


A lobbyist, on his way home from work in Washington, D.C., came to a
dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this seems worse
than usual."
He noticed a police officer walking between the lines of stopped
cars, so he rolled down his window and asked, "Officer, what's the
hold-up?"

The officer replied, "The President is depressed, so he stopped his
motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with gasoline and set
himself on fire. He says no one believes his stories about why we
went to war in Iraq, or the connection between Saddam and al-Qaeda,
or that his tax cuts will help anyone except his wealthy friends. So
we're taking up a collection for him."

The lobbyist asks, "How much have you got so far?"

The officer replies, "About four gallons, but a lot of folks are
still siphoning."
