Don'tcha just love it..

An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys.

Did you watch Frontline tonight?

While your financial news is good, the Bush administration has little to do
with it.

However, they do have a lot to do with calling the shots in our war with
Iraq.

It's not going so well.

That's the national debt. Going up a helluva lot faster than the stock market
or WalMart earnings. In fact, it's up 11 billion dollars in the last week.

Bush wants 87 billion to play "army" in Iraq. Congress is appalled. But at this
rate, if they debate the issue for a couple of months we will have pee'd away
another 87 billion in just general horsehockey. Iraq or no.

We're going deeper into debt by the proposed cost of (continuing) the war in
Iraq every two months. Anybody care?

NOYB's headlines remind me of the guy who borrowed 110% of his home equity and
went on a consumer spending spree.
Cars, trips, clothes, toys, and other total wastes. All the while he was acting
like he had a bottomless checkbook, he felt "rich".

Remember how the Soviet Union fell?
We forced the Soviets to spend so much money for defense their economy could no
longer support the cost of government.
"Couldn't happen here! We're a democratic republic! Those Soviets were godless
socialists!"

All I can say is that we are certainly lucky the "conservatives" are in the
White House and have the Congressional majority. Just think of the fix we'd be
in if the moderates or liberals were holding the reins! Last time that
happened, we were paying down this debt by running a surplus! What could those
commie pinko leftist *******s have been thinking?

The right don't like big gummit? It ain't never, ever, been anywhere nearly so
big as it is now. The cost of gummit grew 11 billion dollars in the last week.
For a family of five, the combined per capita increase was close to $200.
(*not* the toal cost of federal government, just this week's increase!)

Did your family make $200 more this week than it did last? If not, you're
behind by the difference. If so, you can be pleased with the knowledge that
your gummit spent it for you.

Here. I'll help. Excerpts from a longer article. This is YOUR chimp at work:

"The White House has promised its full cooperation, but Mr. Bush said this
week that he had doubts about whether investigators would catch the leaker.

"I don't know," Mr. Bush said, "if we're going to find out the senior
administration official" who told Robert Novak, as Mr. Novak wrote in his
syndicated column in July, that Valerie Plame, the wife of former Ambassador
Joseph C. Wilson IV, was a C.I.A. employee. Mr. Wilson was a critic of the
administration's Iraq policies.


"Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, Democrat of New Jersey, said in an interview
that the comments threatened to undermine the inquiry by lowering
expectations.

"If the president says, `I don't know if we're going to find this person,'
what kind of a statement is that for the president of the United States to
make?" Mr. Lautenberg asked. "Would he say that about a bank-robbery
investigation? He should be as indignant as everybody else is over this
breach."

Mr. Wilson said Mr. Bush "certainly seems far less certain about finding the
leaker than he is about finding Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein."

Yeah, things are going so well these days I just can't wait to get the
newspaper to see what Bush and his loyal team have screwed up today. It
appears we will be spending the $87,000,000,000 (that's $300 for every
man. woman and child in this country, by the way) and we all know where
that money will go. I'm disgusted with the lot of them, and wish Colin
Powell would resign and send them a message they need to hear.

Indeed, of all the b.s'ers in the Bush Administration, I thought for the
longest time that at least Powell had some integrity on the matters that
really counted. What a disappointment he's turned out to be.

Anyone remember John Dunlop, who was secretary of labor under Gerry
Ford? Dunlop died last week at the age of 89. He resigned from the Ford
Administration on a matter of integrity. Ford had promised to support a
particular bill that further codified collective bargaining but at the
last minute, backed off. Dunlop had worked long and hard on that bill to
bring together all involved sides in agreement.
