Oh boy! It's snowing again!
Peace Takes A Bullet
"It cannot be overstated: Shrub's war marks a momentous shift in our society, a huge political and philosophical sea change, as we move from a unified coherent defensive posture to an aggressive, roguish, preemptive-strike attitude, kill first and ask questions never.
"It is called the Bush Doctrine, a.k.a. Shut the Hell Up You Durn Foreigners and Eat Our Might, and it is in flagrant defiance of not just the U.N. charter and international law but also every moral and philosophical tenet America itself was founded on." - from Mark Morford's column.

Mall Asks Police to Drop Trespassing Charges Against N.Y. Man Arrested Over Anti-War T-Shirt
Officials at a mall where a man was arrested for refusing to remove an anti-war T-shirt (that he had bought at the mall) asked Wednesday that trespassing charges against him be dropped. Police said managers from Crossgates Mall called and asked that the complaint against Stephen Downs be withdrawn. Police Chief James Murley said he would support the mall's decision.
Earlier Wednesday, about 100 anti-war demonstrators marched through the mall to protest the arrest. They told a mall manager they would stop only when charges against the shopper were dropped and when the mall outlined its policy. - link.

Quotes
"Everything known about Bush apart from his political rhetoric suggests belief in a conventional rich man's God. His idea of paradise is a country club golf course. His public religiosity is precisely calculated to enthrall fundamentalist Christians whose failure to turn out in 1992 led to his father's defeat - the only Armageddon Junior seriously anticipates." - Gene Lyons.
"Every day [Bunnypants] asks us to ignore more and more troubling facts, and every day it seems more and more that Mr. Bush has mustered not a coalition of the willing, but rather, as one wag put it, 'a coalition of the billing.' It is very disturbing that so many of our 'allies' have to be bribed or bludgeoned into joining this war. The Turkish Parliament's vote against allowing U.S. troops to use Turkish bases is stunning when you consider that the Bush team had offered the Turks a dream package - $6 billion in aid and new weapons, and veto power over the future of Iraq's Kurds. But there is something admirable about the Turkish democracy's refusing to be bribed into a war its people don't want. It would be shameful for us to force the Turks to vote again - considering that their Parliament gave this war more thought than the U.S. Congress." - Thomas Friedman .
"My husband bought me a mood ring the other day. When I'm in a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a red mark on his forehead." - Laura Bush anonymous emailer.
Senate nutjob wants human shields punished
Damn commie traitors!
WASHINGTON - Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-Insane) asked Attorney General Jesus John Ashcroft Monday to provide him with a legal assessment of those Americans headed to or already in Iraq to offer themselves as "human shields." Graham, who has been vehement in his opposition to Americans who go to Iraq and calls them "treasonous," said he believes the "full force of the law should be applied to those American citizens who give aid or comfort to our enemies."
"It is my opinion that any American who voluntarily engages in conduct to impede a potential American military operation, and who thereby endangers the lives of our nation's men and women in uniform, is participating in a program designed to weaken the power of the United States to wage war successfully. I strongly believe efforts to impede a potential military operation against Iraq should be strongly dealt with and I am seeking your assistance in this matter," Graham said, foaming at the mouth while vigorously beating himself off. - link.
Pope to Bush: Go into Iraq and you go without God

Advisors warn Crusader Bunnypants he faces "humiliating" defeat on UN resolution
Senior nursemaids aides to the Court-Appointed Ignoramus say he faces a humiliating defeat before the United Nations Security Council next week, prompting speculation that the chicken chickenhawks may withdraw the resolution from security council consideration.
Colin Powell, fresh from his latest round of meetings with representatives of countries on the Security Council, delivered the bad news to Smirky McOilpipe yesterday.
"You will lose, Mr. 'President'," Powell told the Nooculer Nincompoop. "You will lose badly and the United States will be humiliated on the world stage." - Like, more than we are right now. link.
"War-team toadies"
From Dennis Hans' 'The disinformation age' - How George W. Bush and Colin Powell are lying America into an unnecessary war - and what honest journalists can do about it:
"Nothing [Saddam] says has been taken at face value since the 1980s, that golden decade when he was committing his worst human rights abuses with the blessing and support of Saint Colin of Powell and presidents Reagan and Bush - not to mention Reagan's special emissary to Baghdad, a chap named Donald Rumsfeld.
"There is a lying leader, a bit closer to home.... Not only does the leader lie, but so too do his top aides. And the news media, with rare exceptions, routinely pass along their lies as fact. The result is that the people of America are out of touch with the people of the world. Thus we're far more willing than any other populace to launch an unprovoked attack on Iraq. Whereas the German and French people - and the populations ruled by governments siding with Uncle Sam - are reasonably well-informed and overwhelmingly opposed, Americans are reasonably well-disinformed." - from SmirkingChimp.com.
It's good to be the Dictator-tot
Napoleon Bonehead "is as determined as ever to move forward quickly, and is not likely to be 'distracted' by either logistical or diplomatic obstacles. Administration officials refused today to describe the benchmarks Saddam Hussein would have to pass to convince them that his disarmament was real, suggesting again that there was nothing he could do to persuade them he has got rid of all his weapons." - link. It's like a bad joke, isn't it?

Yeah, how's it feel, wh*res?
ABC, CBS and NBC were snookered into breaking into regular programming Wednesday night to carry pResident Poopypants' speech on the Middle East when White House spokes-tool and wetnurse Ari 'the Liar' Fleischer made off-the-record calls to their Washington bureau chiefs. But when Bunnypants' address to the American Enterprise Institute dealt only generally with the future of a post-Saddam Middle East, some network bigwigs felt they'd been had.
Says one network executive: "The White House was incredibly heavy-handed with the request. At a time when we're leading up to war, they said it was going to make news."
The White House had been "lobbying" for live coverage of the Dribbling Dumbass's remarks, Ted Koppel said on Nightline, but "in one form or another, he has said all of these things before." - link.
Aide on U.S. Image in Muslim World Quits
Charlotte Beers, the Bush misadministration's point person for improving the U.S. image in the Muslim world, is resigning to spend more time with her family because of "health reasons." She came to realize that 'changing hearts and minds in Islamic countries is a long-term challenge,' especially at a time when the US is being run by a bunch of arrogant, war-happy, pseudo-religious, intolerant wackjobs. - link.
The beauty of caller ID
After listening to their own people and not to King George the Criminally Dense, Turkey throws up its' hands and says "Oh, all right! Now quit calling me!"
Under intense pressure by the Bushies, a senior Turkish official indicated that his government would ask Parliament a second time to allow American troops to use the country as a base against Iraq, a day they rejected the plan.
After sweaty, panicky phone calls from Colin 'Ass=Grass' Powell this weekend, the Turkish government may take another resolution to Parliament later this week. - link.

Hot, moist, squishy love
Howard 'the Hormone' Fineman embarrasses himself yet again in the new issue of Pulsating pResidential Man Meat Magazine Newsweek, with "Bush and God - A higher calling: It is his defining journey - from reveler to revelation. A biography of his faith, and how he wields it as he leads a nation on the brink of war."
WTF has Howard been smoking? Have his editors lost their minds?? Wielding? Leading?? Maybe I got it wrong, though. The article isn't all halos and genuflections: Smirky McStupid's so-called piety comes off as extremely shallow and politically expedient, not to mention conveniently not applicable at times (remember Karla Faye Tucker and "please don't kill me"? all those Texas executions? "a major-league asshole"? "I hit the trifecta"?).
Then there's this. I'm sorry, but it just isn't that easy:
'The president is known to welcome questions about faith that staffers sometimes have the nerve to share with him. But he's not the kind to initiate granular debates about theology. Would Iraq be a "just war" in Christian terms, as laid out by Augustine in the fourth century and amplified by Aquinas, Luther and others? Bush has satisfied himself that it would be - indeed, it seems he did so many months ago. But he didn't do it by combing through texts or presiding over a disputation. He decided that Saddam was evil, and everything flowed from that.'
Moral clarity. God help us. - link.

Turkey's governing party listens to the people's overwhelming opposition to a war in Iraq, "stuns" Washington
Huh - Turkey uses a focus group!
Turkey's ruling party has no plans in the "foreseeable future'' to seek another parliament vote for the deployment of U.S. troops on Turkish soil for a war with Iraq, a party leader said Sunday.
The announcement by Eyup Fatsa, deputy head of the Justice and Development party, came a day after the legislature dealt a serious blow to U.S. war planning by failing to approve a motion to deploy U.S. soldiers, weapons and equipment. - link.

Bushies spying on Security Council members?
Secret document details the misadministration's plan to bug phones and emails of key Security Council members. The existence of the surveillance operation, understood to have been requested by Condoleezza 'Chevronwhore' Rice, is deeply embarrassing to the BFEE Oil Cartel in the middle of their efforts to win over the undecided delegations. The disclosure comes at a time when diplomats from other countries have been complaining about the outright 'hostility' of US tactics in recent days to persuade then to fall in line, including threats to economic and aid packages. - link.

Bushies pissed at sign of independant thinking by some in the media
How dare you! Rid yourselves of those testicles NOW!
The White House and Pentagon yesterday criticized news coverage of the Iraq showdown and other military matters in a sign of increasing acrimony between the press and administration.
In a surprise development, White House spokes-tool and buttwiper Ari 'the Liar' Fleischer accused the WH stenographers in the lapdog whore media of "missing the big picture on the Iraq story" by "distorting daily developments." Although criticism mounts against Saddam Hussein, Ari said, the press emphasizes the doubt from wavering allies such as France and Russia.
"Journalists still have to ask themselves questions about the responsibility to accuracy - knowing that the raving chickenhawks in the Bush administration Iraqis are nothing but propagandists and deceivers," Ari went on to say with a straight face. - link
