THE CARTOON:  Boondocks - "Debate Prep" 10/14/04



2 QUOTES FOR THE WEEKEND:
"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful & murder respectable, & to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
- - George Orwell

"Being lectured by the President on fiscal responsibility is a little bit like Tony Soprano talking to me about law and order."
- - Senator John Kerry (In this past week's Presidential Debate #3)


THE HISTORY:
October 16, 1973
-- Henry ("Just call me War Criminal") Kissinger, is awarded the Nobel "peace" prize which taints the prestigious prize forever more. For more info, read, "The Trial Of Henry Kissinger" by Christopher Hitchins.
October 16, 1992 -- Nobel peace prize awarded to Rigoberta Menchu, Quiche Maya Indian, for her work against human rights abuses in Guatemala.
October 17, 1957 --  French-Algerian author Albert Camus is awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. Camus wrote for many years for the anarchist & left wing press in France.
October 17, 1979 -- Mother Teresa awarded Nobel Peace Prize, which helps to shore up the reputation of the tainted prize.


WEEKEND WEBSITE TIP:  The Receive-A-Cue System
The first complete R. F. wireless cuing system.  Easily concealed. No wires to the ear.  Up to 500 feet of operating range. Extremely small and light weight. Price ... $1090.00.  Perfect for mentalists, magicians and anyone wishing to discretely communicate. This system is a complete, long range cuing system providing a performer with a first-quality auditory assistance. It is high fidelity which cues up to 500 feet. It's simple and easy to use. The prompter wears the wireless microphone transmitter which is small enough to be hidden on your person. The receiver wears a neckloop transductor which transmits the audio to the miniature wireless inductor comfortably concealed in the ear. It is even possible if desired to have more than one transmitter cue to the same receiver.

RHINO HERE:
A note of respect here on the passing away this past week of Christopher Reeve, a true hero in his own lifetime. He leaves behind a legacy of hope, awareness & incredible progress in spinal cord injury research & exploration, as well as huge improvements in basic disability rights for millions of Americans. A beloved soul & beautiful teacher, may he know peace, freedom, & eternal joy. May his family find comfort and meaning in their precious memories with him.



RHINO'S WEEKEND NEWS BRIEFS

- An anonymous ex-employee of Triple X Security in Baltimore has provided faux news a copy of the sales receipt for the Receive-A-Cue System (See the Weekend Website Tip above) which he claims to have delivered to la casa blanca.
MORE: http://cryptome.org/bush-bulge.htm

- A $600 million class action suit was filed today on behalf of Americans who claim they have been permanently traumatized by the fear of receiving a phone-sex call from Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly.
MORE:  http://www.oreilly-sucks.com

- Robert Novak was arrested on Friday & perp walked right into Judith Miller's jail cell. The duo was informed that neither would be fed or freed until they gave up the name of the slimy white house news source (as if we all didn't know it was kkkarl rove) who outed Valarie Plame. On Saturday the twosome announced they were engaged to be married.

- Bookstores across the country and the rest of the English speaking world are reporting mass requests to purchase a book entitled, "Sisters"  which was written by 2nd lady lynne cheney in 1981, long before her husband was elected V.P. of the shrub coup. A steamy bodice-ripper set in the 19th-century American West, "Sisters" features vivid tales of whorehouses, attempted rapes, a suspicious murder and several lesbian love affairs, of which Cheney writes approvingly. The paperback, published in Canada, has been out of print for nearly two decades.

- In a related story, the Kerry Edwards Campaign has announced it has beefed up security around John Kerry on all campaign stops until the election, this in response to fears that the Senators repeated praising of Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter's courage may cause a backlash.  A Kerry aide stated anonymously that, "There's an increased chance that Lynne Cheney may murder Senator Kerry between now and Election Day."

A Day in the Life of Joe Republican
by Anonymous, Floating Through The Internet

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.  All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.  In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained....
