''Purple finger, no problem,''
Democracy became a color yesterday, and it was the color of kings. As hundreds of Iraqi expatriates departed polling stations in the Iraq Transitional National Assembly election, many held aloft their right index fingers, stained on the tips after being dipped in a purple dye.
The hue of royalty became a mark that these men and women, many of them former farmers and sheepherders, had voted in the election held at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds.

Freedom in Wonderland
"Freedom is owning things."—George W. Bush
January 28, 2005—Protected from the American public by legions of imperial storm troopers in a city that appeared to be the very model of a high-tech police state, George W. Bush used the word "freedom" 27 times in his second inaugural address. The word "liberty" appeared 15 times. Under the circumstances, it's worth recalling that "freedom" was also one of Adolph Hitler's favorite themes.

Bush payola scandal deepens as third columnist admits being paid
The Bush administration was confronted with fresh evidence of a far-reaching clandestine campaign to influence public opinion yesterday after a third conservative commentator admitted receiving payments for championing its policies.
SHOCKING!
SHOCKING!
'We cannot wait for a mushroom cloud'
FLASHBACK:
"Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof — the smoking gun — that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud,'' Bush said. "The time for denying, deceiving and delaying has come to an end,'' Bush said, referring to the Iraqis' denial that they possess such weapons. "Saddam Hussein must disarm himself — or, for the sake of peace, we will lead a coalition to disarm him.''
Wrong! The time for denying and deceiving is in its golden age!

Stop The Lie
Everything you need to know about what a Neo-Conservative is ...and how they will DESTROY America for Republicans and Democrats alike.
The Project for a New American Century (PNAC) is a Neo-Conservative organization that almost nobody in America has heard of.
This is a major problem considering, their own documents reveal, they intend to use OUR military to create a "Unipolar World" that they will control.

Did you know Iraq is having "elections"?
In case you haven't heard...Iraq is having elections. Did you know that Iraqis are having an election? Oh, and in case you didn't know...Iraq elections are happening. Top of the hour news is....IRAQ! They're having elections! Bottom of the hour news: IRAQ! THEY'RE HAVING ELECTIONS!
Did you hear? Iraq? They're having elections?

Report: Israel developing biological weapons targeting Arabs
Here's one that could backfire on the developers BIG TIME! (ASSuming this is true!)
Criminals the lot of us
...through the invasion of Iraq, a crime of gigantic proportions has been perpetrated. If history has taught us anything, it is that it will condemn both the individuals and respective societies who not only perpetrated the crime, but also remained blind and mute while it was being committed.
This Pollyanna army
...Bush's rhetoric about "eternal hope that is meant to be fulfiled" was a sign of their triumph. The speech, crowed neocon William Kristol, who consulted on it, was indeed "informed by Strauss" - a reference to Leo Strauss, philosopher of obscurantist strands of absolutist thought, mentor and inspiration to some neocons who believe they fulfil his teaching by acting as tutors to politicians in need of their superior guidance.
'Informed" is hardly the precise word to account for the manipulation of Bush's impulses by cultish advisers with ulterior motives.

Let's Attack Iran!
Seymour Hersh's "New Yorker" article about American forces carrying
out reconnaissance missions in Iran to locate hidden Iranian nuclear
facilities, presumably in order to be able to destroy them all in a
surprise attack, may be "riddled with errors," as the White House promptly
alleged. It may be entirely true. And either way, it may have been
deliberately leaked by the Bush administration to frighten Iran. But what
was really revealing was the US media response to it.

Patriotism: Rationality's Worst Enemy
Many parents try to discourage violence by shielding their children from violent video games and movies. However, they indoctrinate their children with patriotism, which is far more likely to lead to violent behavior; it motivates young men to enthusiastically kill other young men they would befriend under different circumstances. At best, patriotism provokes blind support for politicians who start wars. At worst, it encourages participation in organized killing. If parents want to raise children who respect human life, they should teach them to think critically and form their own opinions.
