BEGINNERS & SENIORS GUIDE TO COMPUTERS

Vice President Dick Cheney is expected to retire within a year. Wait. Let's just let that statement flow over us like warm milk and cookies, sunshine and honey, sugar and spice and everything nice........... ok. Senior GOP sources predict the retirement of Mr. Cheney in 2007, several months after the congressional elections. The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to Mr. Bush. Can someone be a liability to another liability? The sources reported a growing rift between the president and vice president as well as their staffs. They cited Mr. Cheney's failure to immediately tell the president of the "accidental" shooting of the vice president's hunting colleague earlier this month. The White House didn't learn of the incident until 18 hours later. (yeah right) Mr. Cheney's next crisis could take place by the end of the year, the sources said. They said the White House was expecting Mr. Che...

The latest CBS News poll finds George Bush's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34% (disapproval rating of 66%), while pessimism about the Iraq war has risen to a new high. Bush is expected to come up with another phony emergency to divert attention from his incompetent performance. He already used the fabricated orange/yellow alert scam so it will have to be something new. Perhaps he will allow Medicare to cover faith healing. Or appoint a neo-Nazi head of the B'nai B'rith. Or have intelligent design covered in the SATs. Or appoint Barbara Bush director of HUD. Or appoint Karl Rove professor of Ethics at Yale. Or hire Dick Cheney as a rifle instructor in the army. Or perhaps he'll just conduct business as usual. Something is bound to come up. Americans are also overwhelmingly opposed to the Bush-backed deal giving a Dubai-owned company operational control over six major U.S. ports. Seven in 10 Americans, including 58 percent of Republicans, say th...

The internal logs of at least 40 touch-screen voting machines used in Florida in the 2004 presidential election reveal that votes were time and date-stamped as cast two weeks before the election, sometimes in the middle of the night. Black Box Voting successfully sued former Palm Beach County (FL) Supervisor of Elections Theresa LePore to get the audit records for the 2004 presidential election. After investing over $7,000 and waiting nine months for the records, Black Box Voting discovered that the voting machine logs contained approximately 100,000 errors . According to voting machine assignment logs, Palm Beach County used 4,313 machines in the Nov. 2004 election. During election day, 1,475 voting system calibrations were performed while the polls were open, providing documentation to substantiate reports from citizens indicating the wrong candidate was selected when they tried to vote. I'd say that the "wrong candidate" is an understatement. In 2000, Bush stole the...

The White House cited failures by the Homeland Security Department and other agencies in planning, communications and leadership in a report on Hurricane Katrina Thursday and proposed a broad reworking of how the government would respond to the next catastrophe. Bush, however, made no mention of his own failings. "We will learn from the lessons of the past to better protect the American people," Bush said Thursday at the end of a Cabinet meeting where the report was released. "I wasn't satisfied with the federal response," Bush said. I thought George was the key player in the federal response. Is he going to fire anybody? Bush ordered the review days after the Aug. 29 storm revealed widespread federal disaster response gaps. More than 1,300 Gulf Coast residents died after Katrina hit, and hundreds of thousands more were forced from their destroyed homes. The White House review comes a week after the special Republican-dominated House committee investigating th...

"I Walked in to Dick Cheney's Line of Fire" "If I Had a Hammer, I'd Sell it to the Army" "Hang Down Your Head, Tom Delay" "Go Vote Twice, It's All Right" "That's All Right, Osama" and many more...

Goerge Bush sings "Imagine" by John Lennon. Maybe there's hope for this scumbag yet.

A company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is poised to take over operations at six American ports as part of a corporate sale, leaving a country with ties to the Sept. 11, 2001 hijackers with influence over a maritime industry considered vulnerable to terrorism. The Bush administration considers the UAE an important ally in the fight against terrorism since the suicide hijackings and is not objecting to Dubai Ports World's purchase of London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co. The $6.8 billion sale would affect commercial port operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. NEW JERSEY? OK, now i'm pissed!
