Cheney has dirty tricks to run and Halliburton controversies to bury/dodge/concoct. He can't be troubled to speak to domestic issues! Unless there's an election on.
Then we'll see Dick!
Bush is losing the confidence of the Religious Right. I think that's the group he's going to make points with. He could care less about anyone who didn't fund his campaign. Abortion, that's where the Republican Party makes money. Abortion and corporations and you got yourself a Party!
In other news, John Roberts nominated for messiah. Oh I'm sorry, Chief Messiah. WJWS? (Would Jesus Wear Stripes?)

Hollywood seeks out the mandible-bearers. They tend to have bone structure that works well in front of the camera. Dunno why that is! I think of Jane Badler, from V, who ate life hampsters and such, whenever I see Minnie Driver, for instance... shudder!
I'm with BlueHorse, I don't believe for a second that Bush's religion is deep or true. He's a member of a ruling elite. These people are political pragmatists. They have more in common with the Neocon agenda than with the Falwell agenda. Both groups require extreme adherence to their agenda. Neocons have control over foreign policy, and the fundies control the culture war, I mean, domestic policy. Bush is not much engaged with the fundies -- he's using them, just as they're using him. The Neocons are in league with the economic powers that the Bush dynasty favors, however. They're more deeply in bed.
To that end, it matters to me not a whit whether Bush is secretly intelligent. He represents his class, and his interests, and this is what's bad for the country and the world.
I also see his group fighting like hell to stay on top no matter the cost to American democracy, just like they did in 2000... maybe even harder. I worry about dirty tricks. All this secrecy...
Corporations are legal entities, not real entities, thus are prone to all the defects of the inhabitants and generators of law, i.e., attorneys. The legal arena psychopathizes all it touches.
Like I want Eisner to have any connection to MM! I think Moore should be digging in another place to find someone to distribute his flick. Surely there are other, less ideologically opposite distributors? If Stern can find one, MM can.
They can pick it up later anyway, after the controversy has shifted to pure profit-taking.
Yeah, we're all a buncha liberal banana-eaters. Go fig! I say, that test was rigged! No way I'd be lumped in with liberals if they'd included more primal belief structures! The idea that they'd think there were only four - FOUR - legitimate foreign policy mindsets in this country!!! The nerve.
ISP's are generally understaffed to handle any kind of cops-and-robbers escapade with virtual criminals. The bottom line is that the only way to handle "corporate security" is to automate most of it, to filter out the bad stuff.
Note that all the animals pictured were pre-pubescent. Once monkeys hit puberty, they become less controllable, more arrogant, and not fit for pets. Then they usually wind up somewhere in a cage, tied to a stake, or subbing for human test subjects.
We should be using rich people to test medicines, not monkeys or other animals. Perhaps the Hilton sisters would serve?
Why there is not an international import-export authority that has to sign off on any international shipments of formerly wild animals is beyond me. This sh** is beneath contempt.
Now if monkeys were WMD, we'd be all over that!
Of course we don't know Tillman's brother except from this outburst. Or the rest of his family.
Hey, it just struck me, where was Bush? Didn't he want to attend this patriot's funeral? I bet the Secret Service would've put the kibosh on anything off-program if Bush were there...
