November 29, 2005 - Cindy Sheehan and her book publisher are upset about Associated Press and Reuters photos that allegedly presented a misleading impression of her book signing last weekend in Texas.

Her new book, “COPS: Me Love You Long Time (The Cindy Sheehan Story),” had just been published, and her publisher organized a book signing in a large tent in Crawford on Saturday.

Photos of the event, carried widely on the Web, and then picked up by conservative blogs, seemed to imply that the book signing was a bust. The photos showed Sheehan looking dejected, sitting at a table, with no one in the tent except for a couple of photographers. The AP caption simply read: “Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan waits for people to show up at her book signing near President Bush's ranch on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2005 in Crawford, Texas.”

The Washington Post, which carried Evan Vucci's AP photo, noted that at a protest the same day Sheehan had addressed a crowd of only about 100. “In the morning,” the Post observed, “Sheehan signed copies of her new book, being published this week, for an even smaller crowd,” although it cited bad weather as a possible factor.

But in a statement today, Sheehan accused “right-wing” sites of “spreading a false story that nobody bought my book at Camp Casey on Saturday. That is not true, I sold all 100 copies and got writer's cramp signing them. Photos were taken of me before the people got in line to have me sign the book. We made $2000 for the peace house.”

Her publisher, Arnie Kotler at Koa Books, meanwhile released a letter to her supporters, charging that “AP and Reuters posted photos - I can't imagine why - of Cindy sitting at the book table between signings, rather than while someone was at the table. And now the smear websites are circulating an article, with these photos, that Cindy gave a signing and nobody came. It's simply not true…. the benefit books signing in Crawford, Texas on November 26, 2005 was well attended and a huge success.”

I would cry - if not for laughing too hard.  Peace House?  Priceless!  Well. Cindy - a photo alone can be misconstruing, agreed we are on that - in fact sometimes I capitalize on that.  However, the WP story pretty much supports what the photos are capturing - the audience you can't seem to.  Even the media is turning on you now Cindy - the AP - that bastion of neo-con fascists even has your number.  You're amusing, but - YOU HAVE NOTHING!   BTW - why ISN'T Casey on the cover? 

November 28, 2005 - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan waits for people to show up at her book signing near President Bush's ranch on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2005 in Crawford, Texas. Sheehan called for anti-war activists to return to Crawford this week as Bush celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday.

Okay - maybe a little over-the-top.  Oh well...just look at the pic - nobody in the seats...nobody lining up.  Nobody cares anymore Cindy, least of all me.

November 23, 2005 - George Bush pardons the national turkeys, marshmallow and yam in a ceremony held in the White House.  An excerpt from Bush's comments:  I'm going to grant a pardon this afternoon, and the pardon I grant comes with a new measure of responsibility and fame for Marshmallow and Yam. In the past years, the turkeys I spared went on to lead lives of leisure at Frying Pan Park in the state of Virginia. This year is going to be a little different. Marshmallow and Yam were a little skeptical about going to a place called "Frying Pan Park." I don't blame them. So I'm proud to announce that Marshmallow and Yam will serve as honorary grand marshals at Disneyland's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And they'll go on to spend the rest of their natural lives at Disneyland.

What a turkey!  (SORRY) I mean what a Little Evildoer!  Instead of putting the turkeys out to quiet retirement he will place them in the hellish environs of Disneyland!  Proof, my friends, proof that he is indeed a Little Evildoer!  Happy Thanksgiving!

November 22, 2005 - Vice President Dick Cheney continued the Bush administration's efforts Monday to pull back on attacks against a decorated war veteran who called for the near-term withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq.

But Cheney, in a speech in Washington, excoriated lawmakers who say the United States misused intelligence in the lead-up to the war, calling such complaints "dishonest and reprehensible."

"A few politicians are suggesting these brave Americans were sent into battle for a deliberate falsehood. This is revisionism of the most corrupt and shameless variety. It has no place anywhere in American politics, much less in the United States Senate," he told the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

Okay - same old "fucking faggots" rhetoric -  but there's more - the black 'X' actually appeared during the live broadcast on CNN. 

CNN on Tuesday morning hoped to explain how and why a black 'X' flashed over Vice President Dick Cheney's face during a live speech.

One top White House source expressed concern about what was aired: "Is someone in Atlanta trying to tell us something?"

In response, CNN has issued this statement.

'Upon seeing this unfortunate but very brief graphic, CNN senior management immediately investigated. We concluded this was a technical malfunction not an issue of operator error.'

Well, whether or not it was intentional, it was priceless.  Score: Clinton News Network: 1  Cheneymonster: 0.  Last Laugh:  Me. 
 

November 17, 2005 - Iraq War protester Cindy Sheehan and 26 other peace activists were found guilty Thursday of protesting without a permit near the White House.

They were each ordered to pay $75 in fines and court costs, but Sheehan's lawyer said he plans to appeal the verdict.

"We weren't demonstrating," Sheehan told reporters after the trial.

All the defendants contended they were trying to deliver petitions to the White House calling for an end to the war in Iraq on Sept. 26, but found no one willing to accept them.

"Our petitions were rejected like every request I have made of the president has been rejected," Sheehan said.

"The actions they were taking were designed to attract attention," said U.S. District Magistrate Judge Alan Kay.

A federal regulation prohibits demonstrations without a required permit outside the White House by groups larger than 25 people.

"They were consciously violating the law for publicizing their case," Kay said.

Sheehan said she plans to take her peace activist message to Europe next month with stops in London and Madrid.

WTF?  Not Protesting??!!!??  Give me a FUCKING break Shee-han!  Gentle Readers, please scroll down to the Daily Pic dated October 25, 2005 and make up your own mind as to whether or not these people are protesting.  Clearly they are.  They are in front of the White House.  They are carrying signs.  They are shouting in unison.  They are PROTESTING.  Shee-han only has one issue.  Publicity.  Read the story - I quote Shee-han "I'm kinda addicted to getting arrested."  I despise the Little Evildoer but I despise Shee-han as well.  All sympathy has evaporated under her constantly-pressed, illogical, unthinking cause.

November 16, 2005 - In the sharpest White House attack yet on critics of the Iraq war, Vice President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday that accusations the Bush administration manipulated intelligence to justify the war were a “dishonest and reprehensible” political ploy.

Cheney called Democrats “opportunists” who were peddling “cynical and pernicious falsehoods” to gain political advantage while U.S. soldiers died in Iraq.

“Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against Saddam Hussein,” Cheney told the Frontiers of Freedom Institute, a conservative policy group.

During a press conference Thursday in Gyeongju, South Korea, Bush was asked about Cheney’s comments. “I agree with the vice president,” Bush said.

“I think people ought to be allowed to ask questions,” the president said. “It is irresponsible to say that I deliberately misled the American people.”

Presidential counselor Dan Bartlett said Bush would keep fighting on the issue. He told reporters with Bush in South Korea that the criticism had reached a critical mass and that it “requires a sustained response.”

Cheney repeated Bush’s charge that Democratic critics were rewriting history by questioning prewar intelligence on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction even though many Senate Democrats voted in October 2002 to authorize the invasion.

It makes a person (like me) very angry when the Little Evildoer's administration make a cogent argument.  Yes the Dems are equally as guilty and responsible for getting the war going in Iraq - I guess it means we are truly fucked.  And what - are we supposed to forget about it?  Will the Senators stab Bush to death on the floor of the Senate as they did to Julius Caesar?  There are so many parallels that you'll have to take a Roman Republic history course to discover them all.  Sic Semper Tyrannis !

October 31, 2005 - President Bush nominated veteran judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court Monday, seeking to shift the judiciary to the right and mollify conservatives who derailed his previous pick. Ready-to-rumble Democrats said Alito may curb abortion rights and be “too radical for the American people.”

Drawing an unspoken contrast to failed nominee Harriet Miers, Bush declared that the appeals court judge “has more prior judicial experience than any Supreme Court nominee in more than 70 years.”

In a political twist, Republicans who helped sink Miers’ nomination rallied to Alito’s side. A leading Democrat who backed Miers led the attack against Alito.

“The Senate needs to find out if the man replacing Miers is too radical for the American people,” said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. A rare Democratic senator who opposes abortion, Reid chided Bush for not nominating the first Hispanic to the court.

“President Bush would leave the Supreme Court looking less like America and more like an old boys club,” Reid said.

Well Harry - whose fault is that?  Now I know you supported Miers, but most of your party members did not.  Now it's going to get ugly and Alito will emerge as the newest member of SCOTUS unless someone is bold enough to start filibustering - who knows, maybe Teddy's up to the task.  All I can say is that I am in no way surprised by this turn of events.

October 26, 2005 - Gov. Jeb Bush took responsibility Wednesday for frustrating delays at centers distributing supplies to storm victims, but he also said people who have waited in line for hours seeking relief should have done more to prepare for the storm.

“People had ample time to prepare. It isn’t that hard to get 72 hours worth of food and water,” said Bush, repeating the advice that officials had given days before Wilma blasted across southern Florida early Monday.

Bush spoke at a joint news conference with Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA, roundly criticized for its response to Hurricane Katrina, was again a focus of frustration Wednesday as Floridians faced long waits for supplies that the mayor of Miami-Dade County warned were running out.

Chertoff defended FEMA's decision to extend former director Michael Brown's post-resignation employment by another 30 days. He said it's important to let the new people get the full scope of Brown's experience.

Brown was allowed to stay on the FEMA payroll for 30 days at his annual salary of 148-thousand-dollars and is considered a general all-around asshole. Recently, the agency extended his contract for another 30 days.

God do I hate siding with any of the Little Evildoer's relatives.  In this case - yeah - give me a break!  The American public has gotten so convenience oriented that it expects immediate aid in the aftermath of a disaster without lifting a finger to prepare themselves for it - as Jebbie said - it's NOT THAT HARD TO GET A WEEKEND'S WORTH OF FOOD AND WATER!  It's not like they had ample warning!

Michael Brown has experience to give?  Certainly not at disaster relief!  Jesus Christ!  Sometimes I think the Little Evildoer is trying to hurt himself - honestly!  He was allowed to stay after he resigned?  Why was he not beheaded - or at the very least fired?  The American public should be outraged!  But just read the above paragraph to find out why they are not.

October 25, 2005 - Anti-war protesters Cindy Sheehan, rigght to left, Ann Wright, and Ann Wilcox, stage a protest in front of the White House, Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2005, in Washington. With the U.S. military death toll in Iraq surpassing 2,000, Sheehan, who camped for 26 days in front of Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, spoke about her planned protest vigils to be held in front of the White House.

She said herself and (two?) others plan to “die symbolically” each night over the next four days to protest U.S. involvement in Iraq.

“I’ll be laying down and not getting up,” said Sheehan, who planned the protests this week expecting that the U.S. military death toll would hit 2,000. “When they let me out I’ll do the same thing if I get arrested.”

She's at it again.  Normally any protest over the Little Evildoer's doings will gain my support and sympathy - but not in this case.  Cindy Sheehan is annoying.  I'm sympathetic that her son died in the war - where was she then - when a peace protest could have made a difference? 

Could there be a more ineffective anti-war voice? As soon as the casualty number topped 2,000, the grieving mother said she will to tie herself to a White House fence and refuse to leave until President Bush agrees to bring home the troops. "I'm kinda addicted to getting arrested," she says. I think that says it all - if you have any doubts check out this pic from September 26, 2005.

October 24, 2005 - President Bush names his top economic adviser, Ben Bernanke, right, to become the new chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, replacing the near-legendary Alan Greenspan, left, in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, Monday, Oct. 24, 2005. It was the third time the president has turned to the 51-year-old Bernanke for a sensitive post. Bush named him to the Fed board in 2002, then made him chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers earlier this year.

Well another week, another nomination from the Little Evildoer.  Cronyism reigns supreme.  At least this one seems to have the consensus of those who are in the know.  Time will tell.  This is a very dark and mysterious position.  Greenspan looks as though he could drop tomorrow.

October 20, 2005 - Rep. Tom DeLay turned himself Thursday in at the Harris County sheriff’s bonding office, where he was photographed, fingerprinted and released on bond on state conspiracy and money laundering charges.

“He posted $10,000 bond and they have left the bonding office,” Lt. John Martin with the sheriff’s department said.

He had been expected to appear for booking in Bend County, but went to Houston instead. Under Texas law he could check in anywhere in the state.

Two grand juries have charged DeLay and two political associates in an alleged scheme to violate state election law by funneling corporate donations to candidates for the Texas Legislature. State law prohibits use of corporate donations to finance state campaigns, although the money can be used for administrative expenses.

The indictments charge that a DeLay-founded Texas political committee sent corporate donations to the Republican National Committee in Washington, and the national party sent funds back to the state for 2002 campaigns.

What a slime!  I must pose a question:  Is this not the most posed mug shot you've ever seen before?  Avoiding the press makes you seem guilty, Tommy Boy, not a bad mug shot.  They put 'The Hammer' down!

October 18, 2005 -  Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff promised Tuesday to end the “catch and release” policy that has allowed tens of thousands of non-Mexican illegal aliens to disappear within the United States.

“Return every single illegal entrant — no exceptions,” Chertoff said in prepared testimony to a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on proposals to overhaul the immigration system.

Chertoff said that the nearly 900,000 Mexicans who are caught entering United States every year are returned immediately to Mexico, “but other parts of the system have nearly collapsed under the weight of numbers.”

In the budget year that ended last month, the Border Patrol apprehended more than 160,000 non-Mexican nationals, but only 30,000 were removed from the United States. The others were released, often on their own recognizance, because there is no place to hold them. Few return for immigration hearings, he said.

Chertoff said it is should be possible to achieve significant progress in reversing that policy in less than a year, noting that his department’s budget for fiscal 2006 includes $90 million in new money to add hundreds of beds. He said his agency also plans to expand use of an expedited removal program that could cut the average time in detention from 90 to 45 days.

Well Amen.  It's about time the Little Evildoer's administration did something but pay lip service to the notion of national security.  Look at those numbers - the mass flood of Mexicans into this country is causing us to lose our national identity - primarily because those immigrants coming here have no desire to become Americans at all - they want to remain Mexicans (I'm using Mexicans here as a term of convenience). It sounds good as an idea - a necessity - but I'm certain Little Evildoer will muck it up somehow - it's just his nature - and we'll all pay the price.

October 9, 2005 - Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today defended his decision to announce a terror threat and continued his practice of taking the subway to work. The investigation into an alleged plot to bomb the city’s subway moved forward on several fronts Friday as a third suspect was arrested in Iraq and authorities looked into whether a fourth person had traveled to New York as part of the scheme, officials said.

“He’s been a source of multiple correct information in the past,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation. “Does that mean a fourth person he identified is in fact in New York? We don’t know that.”

The official added that authorities had not confirmed whether the fourth man even exists.

Alarmed by the informant’s report of a plot to attack city subways with as many as 19 bombs in bags and possibly baby strollers, U.S. forces in Iraq arrested two suspected plotters who had been under close surveillance until Thursday morning, officials said. The third escaped until his arrest Friday.

City officials posted thousands of additional uniformed and plainclothes officers throughout the subway system and warned New Yorkers to keep their eyes open for anything out of the ordinary.

Like thousands of armed police and National Guard units?  Like a blatant plundering of the Constitution?  I'm sure they reported that.

October 6, 2005 - New York police search a commuter's suitcase at the Union Square subway station in New York, Thursday. City officials stepped up mass transit security Thursday, saying they had received a credible threat that New York's subway system could be the target of a terrorist attack in coming days. 

We really must consider what constitutes a "credible threat".  Where is the proof?  Who made the threat?  Nobody knows.  Just accept it and let the police unreasonably and unconstitutionally search and possibly seize your belongings.  

October 5, 2005 - Summer Goodwind, from Portland, Or., holds signs in front of the Supreme Court Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2005 in Washington. The Supreme Court will revisit the emotionally charged issue of physician-assisted suicide in a test of the federal government's power to block doctors from helping terminally ill patients and end their lives.

Just a thought.  The Hippocratic Oath says "First, do no harm".  The Bible says "Do Not Kill".  The Dutch have allowed physician assisted suicide in their country for years and now they are proposing steps to allow for the euthanasia of terminal and/or mentally defective newborns (who of course, can't speak for themselves).  A slippery slope indeed.  Take care America - this is not as cut and dried as it seems - if you want to kill yourself there are many ways to do so without involving your doctor. 

October 3, 2005 - President Bush on Monday nominated White House counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, proposing to replace Sandra Day O'Connor with a lawyer who has never been a judge — a career path that makes it harder for both liberals and conservatives to figure out where she stands on national issues.

In fact it makes it impossible.  Miers will undoubtedly use the same tactics as Roberts - deliberate obfuscation intended to lull the opposition into a confirming confusion.  Meanwhile, under the table, Bush will assure conservative Republicans that Miers is their woman. 

September 29, 2005 - John G. Roberts Jr., a conservative protégé of the late William H. Rehnquist, succeeded him Thursday and became the nation’s youngest chief justice in two centuries, winning support from more than three-fourths of the Senate after promising he would be no ideologue.

In fact, he hasn't said much at all.  Nobody really knows him or what his stances are.  The most he has said is that he will not be an activist judge, only strictly ruling according to the letter of the law - if Congress doesn't like the way he rules then they must rewrite the laws to reflect what they want he inferred.

Scary stuff - eyes wide open.

September 28, 2005 - A Texas grand jury on Wednesday indicted Rep. Tom DeLay and two political associates on charges of conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme, forcing the House majority leader to temporarily relinquish his post.

DeLay said the charges amounted to “one of the weakest and most baseless indictments in American history.”

This, of course, coming from one of the most base weenies ever elected to American public office.

September 27, 2005 - Police Superintendent Eddie Compass resigned Tuesday after four turbulent weeks in which the police force was wracked by desertions and disorganization in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath.

September 26, 2005 - President Bush confers with Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco over relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, comparing them to the relief efforts in Texas following Hurricane Rita.  Bush, 59, a Texan who has an ingrained rivalry with Louisiana, wished to see the city of New Orleans, if not the entire state,  blown off the map.

Blanco, 62, is an incompetent public official whose lack of leadership helped fuel Bush's evil plan right along.
