Bush at Work?

1. A small plane flew over D.C. the other day. The threat of another 9-11 sent employees scurrying-Congress, congressional staffers, the first lady, Vice-President Cheney. Everyone was notified. Everyone, it seems, except the President. Where was he? In Maryland, riding his bicycle!

There's something wrong with this picture: everyone at work except Dubya? Jay Leno said it best: "Cheney was working and the President was riding a bicycle in Maryland. Shouldn't it be the other way around?"

Is Dubya even relevant any more? He takes more vacations than any other moden president. Vacation from what? Riding his bike? Campaigning to destroy Social Security?

2. If you haven't listened to KPFT, 90.1 FM, you should. They have a program called "Democracy Now" hosted by Amy Goodman that is really hard hitting-well, more hard hitting that your corporate homogonized news. Caught a Bill Moyers speech on the station last week. He was talking about Ken Tomlinson, the Bush flack who is head of the Center for Public Broadcasting. Tomlinson is trying to stifle content that may not meet with Republican approval. He spent $10,000 for a contractor to investigate Moyers' program for liberal bias. Moyers said, "He should have asked me. I'd have given him a tape, or, better yet, he could have watched the show, rather than to spend $10,000 of the public money for this."

3. Remember "Rathergate?" Dan Rather exposed Bush's deriliction of his National Guard duties. Because he could not prove definitively his source's were original and not copies, he was drummed out of CBS.

Why doesn't Bush bring forward the originals? Because he knows Rather was right. Now we have "NBCgate." NBC reported that some interrogator at Guantanamo ripped up the Koran and flushed it down the toilet. After some heat from Republicans, their source backed down, leaving them high and dry. No wonder the media wont report the news. They're afraid of the Thought Police.

Thats all, Folks! Feel free to come in with your comments. Hell, we even let Repubs and Damyankees on this blog!
