WTF Is It Now?!?

Well, BLOGGER is finally working again.


QUOTES
"I get good advice, if you will, from their people, based upon how we are doing business and how we are operating, over and above the normal, by-the-books auditing arrangement." - Halliburton CEO Dick "Chicanery" Cheney, on disgraced accounting firm Arthur Andersen's work for him.

"We have a president who owes his election more to a dynasty than to democracy." - Chairman Julian Bond at the NAACP's 93rd annual convention last week.

"He has run this country into the ground in a second. We had prosperity, reasonably good times -- and look what we've got now. I'm not with any of these left-wing groups -- I'm just disgusted with everything this guy represents." - Gary DeVaan, Web designer, at a protest for Bunnypants in Minneapolis.


SEEN IN THE BUZZFLASH MAILBAG
"On a different tack, I was called for jury duty the same day as W, back when he and I were sharing Austin Texas, and he was hamming it up, and being a real jackass, and lots of dipshits were all kissing his ass, and he's trying to tear himself away from all that mindless praise and getting his ass sucked, so he can go back to the governor's mansion and watch ESPN, and the secret service is shoving him along, and everybody's getting ready to get back to the business of jury duty, I'm slightly peeved at this jackaninny's publicity stunt, so as he's leaving, and everybody is shut up, I holler;

'Oh, yeah,... and thanks for the blow job!!'

His shoulders went right up, and the secret service guys were all over their earpieces & wrist mics. Then, I just felt like an honest citizen, speaking my piece; now, I feel like I touched history."


OTTAWA SAYS BUSH-league 'TEXANS' TRIED TO BULLY G8 HOST
'In your face with a boxing glove' - Robert Fife, Ottawa Bureau Chief

Canadian officials say George W. Bush's entourage at last month's G8 summit in Alberta behaved like bully-boy Texas cowboys as they tried to take control of the agenda set by Jean Chrétien.

Officials said the Americans got into shouting and swearing matches with their Canadian counterparts over everything from photo-ops to the topics to be discussed by the leaders of Canada, the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and Russia.

One official said he began to take it as a "compliment to be called a 'f------ Canadian' by the Americans" after resisting countless U.S. demands, including special access to Kananaskis for the White House press corps.

The Prime Minister wanted African development to be the centrepiece of the summit, but Mr. Bush's advisors tilted the agenda to the President's Israeli-Palestinian peace plan and a U.S. scheme to safeguard Russia's nuclear weapon stockpiles, officials say. "They wanted control of the sessions. They wanted to change the agenda. They just wanted to orchestrate everything," said an official, speaking on background.
