DEMOCRATS=100% PUSSBAGS!!!
Excerpt:
Senate Democrats on Monday blocked an immediate vote on a call by one of their own to
censure President Bush for his eavesdropping program.
They acted after Republicans said they were eager to pass judgment on a proposal that they
portrayed as baseless and disruptive to the antiterror effort.
Minutes before Senator Russell D. Feingold, Democrat of Wisconsin, formally introduced his
resolution reprimanding Mr. Bush, Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the majority leader, said
Republicans were ready to vote by day's end or Tuesday.
"When we're talking about censure of the president of the United States at a time of war, when
this president is out defending the American people with a very good, lawful, constitutional
program, it is serious business," Mr. Frist said. "If they want to make an issue out of it, we're
willing to do just that."
Democrats, while distancing themselves from Mr. Feingold's assertion that the president
"plainly broke the law" in approving surveillance without warrants, said his proposal merited
more consideration than a hasty vote.
Sure, let's cave again. Way to go, you worthless fucks. Don't you realize that if the Republicans refuse to
censure the president it makes them just as guilty as he is and you can exploit that? Has anyone in the
Democratic party ever learned how to play politics?
Bush obviously broke the law. Feingold is moving that the Senate acknowledge this. If the Republicans
don't bite then the Republicans are essentially aiding the president and are acting as his accomplices in
crime. Use it. Use it to your advantage.
Jesus, I am now pulling for Feingold to be the nominee in '08. Screw everyone else at this point.
The president's approval is 30%. Thirty-fucking-percent. Let me spell this out for you. A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N-S
T-H-I-N-K T-H-E P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T I-S A C-R-M-I-N-A-L A-N-D W-A-N-T H-I-M O-U-T O-F
O-F-F-I-C-E! Do your damn job and be a fucking opposition party for once. Miserable sacks of shit.

President Bush on Monday pushed back at critics on the left and right who had urged that
American troops be withdrawn from Iraq before they were caught in a civil war, contending in
the first of a new series of speeches that his strategy is working and declaring, "We will not
lose our nerve."
Forum: The Transition in Iraq
Yet Mr. Bush acknowledged that the conflict that began three years ago next week, when he
ordered the start of an invasion to topple Saddam Hussein, had taken on a different complexion
with the recent acceleration of sectarian violence. Twice he used the words "civil war" in his
speech, but only to describe the objectives of Sunnis, Saddamists and members of Al Qaeda
seeking to keep a new government from forming, rather than to characterize the current state
of events.
PR is all this idiot understands. Keep lying until it's truth... Or burns a hole in your soul.

When “South Park” ’s Chef felt the heat of Scientology satire, he got out of the kitchen.
Isaac Hayes announced yesterday that he was quitting Comedy Central’s hit animated show
after being the voice of Chef for its first nine seasons.
“There is a place in the world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance
and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins,” Hayes said. “As a civil rights activist of
the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices.”
Hayes had defended the show in the past for offending just about everybody.
“This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology,” show co-creator, Matt Stone,
told the Associated Press. “He has no problem - and he’s cashed plenty of checks - with our
show making fun of Christians.”
Scientology is probably the stupidest large religion out there. It is absurd and South Park proved it.
Knowing that Hayes is willing to poke fun at every other religion in the world but only takes offense when
Scientology is made fun of shows him to be weak.

Tiny pieces of minerals that form at high temperatures have been found in the comet fragments
retrieved by NASA's Stardust mission, scientists announced Monday. The discovery challenges
conventional thinking on how comets — collections of ice and rock — formed in the early days
of the solar system.
The robotic Stardust spacecraft descended into the Utah desert by parachute on Jan. 15,
ending a seven-year, nearly
3-billion-mile journey through the solar system to retrieve fragments of the comet Wild 2.
Astronomers have long assumed that comets formed in the most distant reaches of the solar
system, where temperatures barely rise above absolute zero. But an initial examination of the
Wild 2 fragments revealed tiny pieces of minerals previously extracted from meteorites that
had been born close to the sun at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Planetary science is my specialty in school. Many meteorites that are discovered are the remnants of
comets that burned off all of their volatiles over the last 4+ billion years of going around the sun and are
only left with rocky material before entering our atmosphere.
Also, solar winds in the early solar system would push warm, gaseous volatiles further out in the solar
system where they would condense around rocky material (much like happens with water vapor and dust
particles here on Earth.

PLANETS similar to Earth are far more common than previously thought and may be found in a
third of all the galaxy’s solar systems, say scientists.
Astronomers hunting for planets have found one with the mass of Neptune 9,000 light years
away from our Sun. They believe it is similar in composition to Earth. Initial analysis suggests
that, like Earth, it has a rocky core, though at minus 184C (-300F) its surface is covered with ice
rather than water.
The discovery, using a new technique called gravitational microlensing, has forced scientists
to revise their estimates of how many Earth-type planets exist. Microlensing is also opening up
the prospects of finding another planet of the same type and mass as Earth, regarded as the
holy grail of astronomers, because it is such a sensitive method.
If you think this is cool just wait until the James Webb telescope goes into space around 2011 or so. That
thing will straight-up take pictures of planets. We won't be looking for stellar wobbles any more after that...
...Unless, of course, Bush cancels that program too.
Baghdad
blitz to try to convince the public of this.
Here.
Excerpt:
Police found at least 40 bodies — shot and discarded — in Baghdad in the previous 24 hours,
the Interior Ministry said Tuesday, underscoring fears that deadly bombings in the capital
Sunday night would ignite sectarian reprisal attacks.
The bodies were found in both Shiite and Sunni Muslim areas, many of them among Baghdad's
most dangerous neighborhoods, said Maj. Falah al-Mohammedawi of the Interior Ministry.
Scorched pavement, destroyed shops, burned out cars and four men shot in the head then
hanged from electricity pylons — victims of revenge killings — awaited Shiite residents
emerging from their homes Monday in Baghdad's Sadr City slum.
Two words: civil, war.

The United States is pouring billions more dollars and fresh platoons of experts into its
campaign to "defeat IEDs," the roadside bombs President Bush describes as threat No. 1 to
Iraq's future.
The American military even plans to build special, more defensible highways here, in its
frustrating standoff with the makeshift munitions — "improvised explosive devices" — that
Iraqi insurgents field by the hundreds to hobble U.S. road movements in the 3-year-old conflict.
Out on those risky roads, and back at the Pentagon, few believe that even the most advanced
technology will eliminate the threat.
"As we've improved our armor, the enemy's improved his IEDs. They're bigger, and with better
detonating mechanisms," said Maj. Randall Simmons, whose Georgia National Guard unit
escorts convoys in western Iraq that are regularly rocked, damaged and delayed by roadside
blasts.
The president said that IEDs represent the "No. 1 threat to Iraq's future." Funny, I could swear that Civil
War would be the No. 1 threat. Then again what do I know? I am only someone who reads more than the
headlines at breakfast.

Underground chambers and tunnels used during a Jewish revolt against the Romans nearly
2,000 years ago have been uncovered in northern Israel, archaeologists said Monday.
The Jews laid in supplies and were preparing to hide from the Romans during their revolt in
A.D. 66-70, the experts said. The pits, which are linked by short tunnels, would have served as a
concealed subterranean home.
Yardenna Alexandre of the Israel Antiquities Authority said the find shows the ancient Jews
planned and prepared for the uprising, contrary to the common perception that the revolt
began spontaneously.

Vancouver — The peaceniks and draft resisters who flooded into Canada during the Vietnam
War grew up long ago. Now they are aging, their hair grey. Many are grandfathers.
But the long arm of justice in the United States is forever vigilant.
Late last week, U.S. authorities nabbed a quiet, 56-year-old retired Canadian as he headed into
Idaho from his home in B.C. They quickly hauled him off to prison.
Allen Abney's crime? Thirty-eight years ago, while still a teenager, he deserted from the U.S.
Marines as he was about to be sent to Vietnam and took refuge in Canada.
Today, he is being held in a military prison at a large Marine base in San Diego, where he faces
the possibility of a court-martial.
When they took him into custody, U.S. authorities confiscated his shoes, his suspenders, his
reading glasses and his false teeth, said his distraught daughter, Jessica Abney.
To make matters worse, Mr. Abney's brother, Gerry, died Saturday in hospital, and by late
yesterday afternoon, his family had still not been allowed to tell Mr. Abney.
The official who answered the phone at the prison told them to contact the American Red Cross.
"This is a nightmare out of nowhere," Ms. Abney said. "My mom can't eat or sleep. They've
never been separated this long before."
Mr. Abney, a grandfather, was arrested as he went with his wife, Adrienne, across their local
border crossing in the East Kootenays region of B.C. for a brief holiday in Reno, a crossing they
had made many times without any problems.
Not this time. Border officials ran the couple's passports through their database, and Mr.
Abney's 1968 desertion showed up.
His last words to his wife were: "They're putting me in jail."
I thought there was only no statute of limitations for murder and that all draft dodgers were given a
reprieve? What is wrong with this country?
The Dominican Republic also won 7-3 over Cuba. Cuba is so used to being the top-dog in international
play. I bet they are disappointed because they are done in this tourney.
Venezuela blanks Puerto Rico 6-0. I did not see this one coming. Seattle's Pinero still pitched a good
game but it just wasn't good enough. PR was dominating in its 4 previous games. Venezuela had been
lacking
Japan/Mexico in a do-or-die game. Should be great. Mexico has had some of the best pitching in the
Tournament and Japan is smarting after a crappy call basically gave the US an undeserved victory on
Sunday.
Venezuela/Dominican Republic also in a do-or-die game. Loser out. My money is still on DR.
