How Do You Say "Mass Outbreak Of Common Sense" In Spanish?
Powell Talks Shit With His Pants Aflame On Fox News this Sunday, Colin Powell said that John Kerry should back up his claims of support from foreign leaders with a list of names, saying "if he feels it is that important an assertion to make, he ought to list some names. If he can't list names, then perhaps he should find something else to talk about." Funny, but Powell had no problems holding up a plagerized and fraudulent dossier to the UN to justify an unprovoked war that his killed and maimed thousands of US soldiers. Where were your footnotes on that one dude? Undeterred from looking like a war-mongering liar on the world stage the first time, Powell also took his time on Fox News to push for vague "action" to be taken against Iran. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice...
Like A Tobacco Lobbyist For The Right This Salon piece profiles Bush's ad-man Alex Castellanos, a GOP media consultant who is famous for his nasty and misleading attack ads. Remember the subliminal "RATS" planted in anti-Gore ads in 2000? Remember the Jesse Helms "White Hands" ad? Remember Jeb Bush's 1994 campaign in which one of his ads accused the then governor of refusing to execute the murderer of a 10 year-old girl because he was too liberal (when the Florida courts was still hearing the killer's appeal)? Castellanos was behind all of them. With a fake 9-11 body, fake firefighters and fake statistics already in W's ads, the ads until November will be real ugly...
As If Prison Itself Didn't Suck Enough... A man who was wrongly imprisoned for 16 on charges of being an IRA bomber is now being charged 370,000 pounds for living expenses he incurred while in Her Majesty's prisons. The Labour Home Secretary David Blunkett is defending the fees, calling them "Saved Living Expenses" and claiming the man shouldn't have been eating the prison's food or sleeping on their cots in the first place. Naturally, people with half a brain are calling the fees 'morally repugnant" and "the sickest of sick jokes."
