Michael

competition played in 2500! I say we boycott Disney and all it's holdings for
the choking of American democracy that their attempted censorship of this film
represents.

"Fahrenheit
9/11," Michael Moore's assault on President Bush, took in $8.2 million to
$8.4 million in its first day, positioning it as the weekend's No. 1 film, its
distributors said Saturday.

Bush:
Saddam and al-Qaida were linked
June 17: The US president, George Bush, today insisted that there were
links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, a day after an independent
commission announced that Iraq was not involved in the September 11 terrorist
attacks on New York and Washington.
Wow, I just checked out the weather
in Baghdad... 111 degrees F is predicted for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Our First Victory Was Zapatero
By Chalmers Johnson
Despite endless hypocrisy about how we have brought freedom to
the people of Afghanistan and Iraq, we know that almost all the citizens of
those countries who have come in contact with our armed forces and survived
have nonetheless had their lives ruined. The courageous, anonymous Iraqi woman
who edits the blog "Baghdad Burning," subtitled "Girl blog from
Iraq," writes (on May 7), "I sometimes get emails asking me to
propose solutions or make suggestions. Fine. Today's lesson: don't rape, don't
torture, don't kill, and get out while you can - while it still looks like you
have a choice. . . . Chaos? Civil war? We'll take our chances - just take your
puppets, your tanks, your smart weapons, your dumb politicians, your lies,
your empty promises, your rapists, your sadistic torturers and go." Her
reports on the Internet are indispensable to an understanding of the disaster
we have made of a country that we invaded in the name of "preventive
war."

Globe Columnist Jeff Jacoby suggests; "ultimately it is up to the world's
moderate, modern Muslims to rise up against the barbarians in their midst.
Until that day comes, there is nothing the West can do to ameliorate or
appease this enemy. We can only destroy it -- or be destroyed."
What arrogance! What about our own barbarians in the

Please join me in signing this
petition. It's about the new electronic
voting terminals that are being installed in many states.
http://www.moveon.org/protectourvotes/
Too many are "black box" voting machines -- computer terminals that
don't produce paper ballots. Without paper ballots, there's no way to know if
our votes are counted correctly. Every voting method should produce a
paper ballot, so we can verify that our votes will count. Join me in calling
for paper ballots, at:

Thank you.

America Radio These people are seriously funny. And the commercials
slamming George W have me rolling on the floor.
Air
America Radio features such leftist luminaries as Al Fraken, author of the
book "Lies and
the Lying Liars Who Tell Them", Janeane Garofalo, and
Robert Kennedy, Jr. among others.
Listen to the voice of reason
instead of the usual spin you get from listening to mainstream media.
Also, get a load of this; the
following stories will make your brain dirty again. They'll have to wash it
out some more for you after you read them. You won't be the blissful American
consumer of corporate rubbish (mental or otherwise) you were before.
This is the red pill.
On the other hand if you would
like to go back to sleep, just stop right here and go back to watching
Fox news and drinking bear until your liver gives in... that would
be the blue pill.
Take the red pill Neo....
