Inspiring story about Itzhak Perlman
I know this isn't new but I just loved reading it again... Artist's Inspiration On November, 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken...

Excellent Essay--says it all
EXCERPT: it is with laughter, gloating and gleeful anticipation that things will indeed get even worse for all the potential victims involved that I note Bush's latest bit of news-making -- "Listen, we've never been stay the course" in Iraq, as he recently fibbed to ABC's George Stephanopoulos. Nearly inconceivable is that even devout Bush boosters...

Bush Drops `Stay the Course' on Iraq to Emphasize Flexibility
What a hoot...Bush now says it "was never about staying the course" in Iraq. Nope. He never said those words, folks. So who do you believe--Bush or your lying eyes and ears? How many fools do you think will fall for this and say, "By gosh, our pretzledent is right...and by gum, I'm a gonna' vote for Republicans 'cause you can...

Fw: My Way News - Bush: I Won't Change Strategy in Iraq
Bush will stay stubborn and unyielding, as long as it's somebody else's kids who are getting killed and maimed--and not his. His inflexibility, combined with his duplicity, make for a very dangerous man. Lacking humility, compassion, and empathy--but full of dictatorial arrogance--he will "stay the course" he and the neocons set on LIES,...

Priest tells of Foley relationship
Yet another wolf pretending to be a shepherd. Don'tcha' just love his narcissism in his "shocked" question: Why does he [Foley] want to destroy me in my old age?http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061019/NEWS/610190...
Fw: Iraq for Sale--a must-see new documentary
Iraq for Sale - Another Referendum Against Republican Controlby Scott Schuster I had the opportunity to catch this new documentary this week. It is a film that every American should see. It's an exposé on the egregious and gratuitous privatization of America's effort in Iraq, collating the hypocrisy, fraud, waste, corruption, & mismanagement...

How's That Again? Department: Cheney says the "general overall situation in Iraq is going remarkably well"
Cheney: 'General Overall Situation' In Iraq Is Going 'Remarkably Well' Rush Limbaugh interviewed Vice President Cheney on his show today. At one point, Limbaugh asked Cheney to respond to growing frustration over U.S. efforts in Iraq. Cheney acknowledged there is a "natural level of concern out there" because fighting didn't end "instantaneously."...
Can this be POSSIBLE? I';m afraid so....
My friend Claire sent me the following message (in black and green type below). I have been thinking the same thing. But are the American people SO Stupid as to allow all this to happen? So far, they have been. I agree with Claire's friend who wrote the words in green below...I would put NOTHING past Bush/Cheney, but I have...

As part of our "fair and balanced" news, we're gonna' have a blitzkrieg of pro-Bush interviews to get those religious "nuts" back kneelin' at the feet of Bush and Cheney....What?...
We cannot let this evil regime continue--or happen again
Can this Bushite Era Become an Innoculation Against Such Evils in the Future?by Andrew Bard Schmookler The writings of William Rivers Pitt on the Bushite menace are almost always excellent. So when I saw he'd published a piece lately on truthout entitled "The Wretched Years," I went to check it out. In Pitt's fine piece, I came upon this passage:...

I just watched an excellent film on DVD
It is called 9/11 Press for Truth, in which the most prominent members of the Family Steering Committee tell their story, providing powerful arguments for why 9/11 still needs investigation. Adapting Paul Thompson's definitive Complete 9/11 Timeline (a book published by HarperCollins as The Terror Timeline, also well worth ordering), the filmmakers...
White House Upbeat About GOP Prospects - washingtonpost.com
The only way Rove and Bush could be upbeat about the Republican prospects in November is if they already have their hackers in place to assure that the votes go their way. They did it before--and they will do it again. Whatever it takes. Because, as we have seen over and over with this administration, for them the...

Inside Washington: Bush Is Said to Have No Plan if GOP Loses
What do they expect, for God's sake? Of course he has no plan! This is the same leadership that had no plan for Iraq, either, should their Shock and Awe campaign fail (which it did, miserably, as we can all see). Then again, in addition to his stupidity, perhaps he has no plan because Karl Rove (Turdblossom) has assured...
Stop Bush's "October Surprise" Attack on Iran
While North Korea is dominating the headlines, the threat of an "October Surprise" U.S. attack on Iran has not diminished. Pentagon planners have moved from routine "contingency" war plans to "second-stage" war plans. And the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier U.S.S....
