BREAKIN' THE LAW BREAKIN' THE LAW
Okay you Republican nitwits- explain to me why your party should be in charge. You've had the run of things for a measly 5 years and look what's happened already.
HEAD OF THE SENATE
Bill Frist- being investigated for what is obviously a case of insider trading. Or else Frist is also Karnack the Magnificient. Gonna be indicted.
HEAD OF THE HOUSE
Tom Delay- Already indicted for using the Republican National Commitee to money launder campaign cash for Texas Repubs. He's also had 4 other instances where he could've been indicted but the House decided to let him walk.
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITEE
Already convicted for laundering money for Texas Repubs
CHIEF OF STAFF FOR DUBYA DUMBO
Karl Rove- Named as a Valerie Plame leaker. Gonna be indicted.
CHIEF OF STAFF FOR CHENEY THE VOLDEMORT
Scooter Libby- Names as a Valerie Plame leaker by NYT Reporter Judith Miller. Gonna be indicted.
That's 2 out of the 3 branches of government. And then there's the Supreme Court- you better believe he's gonna fuck that up too. First the enigmatic John Roberts- and my prediction for the next nominee- why his best friend Alberto Gonzales of course.
How many people have to be convicted before you stubborn Republican jackasses admit that these people you claim to like so much are nothing but petty criminal thugs who'd be in jail for stealing candy from children if they weren't millionaires.

Exactly.
The following is a transcript of the NBA's Etan Thomas's speech during the protests that were ignored by TV. It's funny that the best speech of the rally was given by a "jock"-- just goes to show- don't judge a book by it's ability to play basketball...
“Giving all honor, thanks and praises to God for courage and wisdom, this is a very important rally. I'd like to thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts, feelings and concerns regarding a tremendous problem that we are currently facing. This problem is universal, transcending race, economic background, religion, and culture, and this problem is none other than the current administration which has set up shop in the White House.
In fact, I'd like to take some of these cats on a field trip. I want to get big yellow buses with no air conditioner and no seatbelts and round up Bill O'Reilly, Pat Buchanan, Trent Lott, Sean Hannity, Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Bush Jr. and Bush Sr., John Ashcroft, Giuliani, Ed Gillespie, Katherine Harris, that little bow-tied Tucker Carlson and any other right-wing conservative Republicans I can think of, and take them all on a trip to the ‘hood. Not to do no 30-minute documentary. I mean, I want to drop them off and leave them there, let them become one with the other side of the tracks, get them four mouths to feed and no welfare, have scare tactics run through them like a laxative, criticizing them for needing assistance.
I’d show them working families that make too much to receive welfare but not enough to make ends meet. I’d employ them with jobs with little security, let them know how it feels to be an employee at will, able to be fired at the drop of a hat. I’d take away their opportunities, then try their children as adults, sending their 13-year-old babies to life in prison. I’d sell them dreams of hopelessness while spoon-feeding their young with a daily dose of inferior education. I’d tell them no child shall be left behind, then take more money out of their schools, tell them to show and prove themselves on standardized exams testing their knowledge on things that they haven’t been taught, and then I’d call them inferior.
I’d soak into their interior notions of endless possibilities. I’d paint pictures of assisted productivity if they only agreed to be all they can be, dress them up with fatigues and boots with promises of pots of gold at the end of rainbows, free education to waste terrain on those who finish their bid. Then I’d close the lid on that barrel of fool’s gold by starting a war, sending their children into the midst of a hostile situation, and while they're worried about their babies being murdered and slain in foreign lands, I’d grace them with the pain of being sick and unable to get medicine.
Give them health benefits that barely cover the common cold. John Q. would become their reality as HMOs introduce them to the world of inferior care, filling their lungs with inadequate air, penny pinching at the expense of patients, doctors practicing medicine in an intricate web of rationing and regulations. Patients wander the maze of managed bureaucracy, costs rise and quality quickly deteriorates, but they say that managed care is cheaper. They’ll say that free choice in medicine will defeat the overall productivity, and as co-payments are steadily rising, I'll make their grandparents have to choose between buying their medicine and paying their rent.
Then I'd feed them hypocritical lines of being pro-life as the only Christian way to be. Then very contradictingly, I’d fight for the spread of the death penalty, as if thou shall not kill applies to babies but not to criminals.
Then I’d introduce them to those sworn to protect and serve, creating a curb in their trust in the law. I’d show them the nightsticks and plungers, the pepper spray and stun guns, the mace and magnums that they’d soon become acquainted with, the shakedowns and illegal search and seizures, the planted evidence, being stopped for no reason. Harassment ain’t even the half of it. Forty-one shots to two raised hands, cell phones and wallets that are confused with illegal contrabands. I’d introduce them to pigs who love making their guns click like wine glasses. Everlasting targets surrounded by bullets, making them a walking bull's eye, a living piñata, held at the mercy of police brutality, and then we’ll see if they finally weren’t aware of the truth, if their eyes weren’t finally open like a box of Pandora.
I’d show them how the other side of the tracks carries the weight of the world on our shoulders and how society seems to be holding us down with the force of a boulder. The bird of democracy flew the coop back in Florida. See, for some, and justice comes in packs like wolves in sheep's clothing. T.K.O.'d by the right hooks of life, many are left staggering under the weight of the day, leaning against the ropes of hope. When your dreams have fallen on barren ground, it becomes difficult to keep pushing yourself forward like a train, administering pain like a doctor with a needle, their sequels continue more lethal than injections.
They keep telling us all is equal. I’d tell them that instead of giving tax breaks to the rich, financing corporate mergers and leading us into unnecessary wars and under-table dealings with Enron and Halliburton, maybe they can work on making society more peaceful. Instead, they take more and more money out of inner city schools, give up on the idea of rehabilitation and build more prisons for poor people. With unemployment continuing to rise like a deficit, it's no wonder why so many think that crime pays.
Maybe this trip will make them see the error of their ways. Or maybe next time, we'll just all get out and vote. And as far as their stay in the White House, tell them that numbered are their days.”

Pimpin' the 1st Lady
Trying to counteract the real reality that he's disconnected and clueless President Wagonfaller is pimping out his wife to the sappy ABC fake reality show, Extreme Home Makeover. I wonder if she'll try to sell us some Sears power tools too?
In the article is the following:
"I think we say, 'Mrs. Bush, the stuff is over here, the people are over there, could you grab the other end of that mattress?' " Forman said. Press secretary Susan Whitson envisioned something closer to her handing out clothing and thanking volunteers.
I mean sheesh- they don't actually expect her to actually DO anything do they????

And now, a few words from Cindy Sheehan
The following are links to Cindy's speech and remarks during and following the anti-war protest in DC that didn't take place this weekend if you were watching the news.
Speech
Remarks
Seriously, Come on already- PBS this morning didn't even mention the damn march.
What if 300,000 people march on Washington and no one gets to hear about it.
Did it make a sound?
Oh yeah, and Bill Frist is the latest in the endless march of corrupt republican politicians that will probably manage to weasel out of persecution. I'm starting to think we need a new media even more than we need a new administration.
