Big night out on the town. We got our pictures made with one of those life-sized cardboard George W. Bushes. The fun thing about this one is that it is in prison-stripes, and they take your picture while you pretend to handcuff the Pretender.

I was so psyched, I came home and searched -- did you know you can get a prison uniform for your Flightsuit Dumbya doll?

In fact, there are all kinds of costumes for them. Collect them all! Buy a bunch of the dolls and you can make a Village People of Bushes. Now *that's* fun for the entire family. Just don't put them in "action" poses -- General Ashcroft frowns on that!

Oopsy!

"Saboteurs blew up a giant oil pipeline in northern Iraq, halting oil exports to Turkey only days after they resumed and cutting off vital income for an economy in shambles."

Bush is the worst president in history.

Polls down. Red alert for orange alerts.

Then again, from a "marketing standpoint", you wouldn't start the heavy scare tactics in August.

So enjoy the next couple of weeks, folks, because it's pretty clear there are going to be "real" terrorists threats come September.

Arnold's great enthusiasm in his most recent robot movie was stuffing a woman's head in a toilet.

Let's think about this a moment. Having your head stuffed in a toilet is humiliating, disgusting, and potentially drowning.

Arnold says he could do it because the woman was a robot.

A robot wouldn't have emotions to be humiliated, health concerns to be disgusted, or a need for air.

The movie is fiction. It was made up. They didn't have to create a situation where a robot that looks like a beautiful woman could have her head stuffed in a toilet; they chose to do that.

This is vile stuff. Arnold should apologize, and withdraw from the California governor's race. He should donate all his profits from that movie to organizations that work to prevent violence against women. Arnold must make sure his apology and explanation of his terrible mistake have more "reach" than the movie itself.

Arnold can't remember meeting with Kenny Boy to extend the great California energy banditry?

Next he won't remember saying "Eating isn't cheating", or groping the various women he has molested.

Looks like Arnold's got "Republican Alzheimer's" -- so common among Bush cronies, fellow-felons, and conspirators.

He's also got the secrecy bug. He's going to keep all his political proposals secret until after the recall election. Heck, he's already keeping his qualifications to be governor a total secret. DICK Cheney couldn't keep a better secret than Arnold's qualifications!

"One night I was driving during the curfew hours with a box of grenades in the car. The Americans stopped me and I told them that my wife was in the hospital. 'Go, go,' they yelled without searching the car. We thank God they are so stupid." --Iraqi resistance fighter

I would say "sweet", more than "stupid". Most American soldiers just aren't mentally prepared to act like Gestapo.

This is a good thing; something we should be proud of. It takes our "special" forces, like "Task Force 20" to be obscenely destructive.

We should let the UN manage Iraq, and bring most of our soldiers home so our people don't turn in to hate-filled killers, or dead bodies.

We have an awesome army, and there are plenty of ways we can use it to promote peace, prosperity, and justice. But we all lose, if we stay in Iraq.

Lying, thieving Bush cronies.

Arnold adviser Warren Buffet blames California's budget problems on low private property taxes.

Let's first recall that when a Democrat was in the White House, the low property tax on private homes didn't put California in a $45 billion deficit. Bush's destruction of the economy did that.

Second, the way private property taxes are structured in California protect homeowners from the wild speculation -- you pay taxes based on what you bought your home for, not the way the value went up since. This is very important, because housing prices have skyrocketed, and many people would have been forced out of their homes because they couldn't afford the increased taxes. Bush cronies like Schwarzenegger and Buffet don't care about the people, except to steal their money.

Third, the entire budget crisis could go away by eliminating a loophole that lets business dodge taxes. Instead of buying commercial property, businesses in the Bush-crony set play legal tricks to transfer commercial property to a business entity, then they buy the business entity. In this loophole, the property is still owned by the same business entity, so the tax doesn't go up, even though the rich corporation that bought it just paid the fair market price for the property.

Of course the Corporate whores in the Republican party aren't going to let California fix that loophole -- billions and billions of dollars are at stake.

Renewal of poppy growing in Afghanistan is a disaster for the world. Not only will it replace the slightly reduced funding to terrorists by Saudis, it will strengthen the Russian mafia and spread ties between terrorists and organized crime.

Nation wrecking is always a bad for the people of the world.

Bush is the worst president in history, and we will pay the price for years -- perhaps decades -- to come. The only thing to do is dump him quick, and put the world back on the right track -- peace, prosperity, justice.

We believe Democratic candidates for president should attack. They should each pick an example of Bush's malfeasant high crimes, and push it with every photo op.

Graham's got the September 11 cover-up, but needs to push it more. Promise a complete investigation, a complete accounting to the American people, and full prosecution of Bush administration officials who foiled the FBI's struggle to defend us, and those who covered up. Turn up the heat.

Another Democratic candidate should take on Bush's role as the Great Misleader -- where nearly every statement and policy is intentionally designed to mislead.

Another candidate should take on the White House for revealing the name of a CIA agent. According to the journalist involved, he had two sources on the same day. Such coordination in illegal behavior is called conspiracy. Gephardt, Lieberman, or Kerry should press this issue until heads roll at the White House. The two sources should be found, and given the choice of years in prison and a lifetime of poverty, or giving up the person who directed the conspiracy. There's no particular reason to believe anyone but Karl Rove is responsible. If he is, he should do some time at a federal country club prison. If Cheney is behind it, he should be fired and prosecuted, not pardoned.

The White House has very little defense. They're only hope is that their crimes will be ignored because there are too many to focus on. Nine Democratic candidates have the ability to focus attention on nine issues. Unless Democrats want Bush to stay in office, they should take advantage of the situation.
