INTERVIEW WITH ANDY BELL OF OASIS
Q: Do you believe in life after death?
A: Yes, I do. I think the spirit lives on, especially if you're wedged up and have loads of shoes.


INTERVIEW WITH A DUMBASS
Q: Mr. President, even while you're calling for transparency in corporate America, you refuse to ask the SEC to turn over documents from its investigation into Harken Energy Corporation, your old company. And the Vice President has answered few questions about his role at Halliburton, his old company, which is now under investigation by the SEC. Why not just clear the air, ask the SEC to release those documents and ask the Vice President to talk about Halliburton in a public forum?

A: Well, first, the Vice President -- I've got great confidence in the Vice President, doing a heck of a good job. When I picked him, I knew he was a fine business leader and a fine experienced man. And he's doing a great job. That matter will take -- run its course, the Halliburton investigation, and the facts will come out at some point in time. Secondly, as to a look at Harken, the SEC, as a result of Freedom of Information requests, has released documents, and the key document said there is no case. It was fully investigated by career investigators. Some of you, I think, have talked to the head career investigator*, and he's made it clear there was no case. - The full press conference transcript is here. .

*"Head career investigator"??? What is this, a Gilbert and Sullivan revue?? WTF is he talking about??! Anyway, Daddy's SEC made it clear that Bush-the-dumber was not to be considered exonerated. So he's a f*cking liar on top of everything else.
