Guardian Unlimited Special reports Israel's policies are feeding the cancer of anti-semitism

Dick Cheney's record

It has dawned on me (I'm a little slow!) that we really have no reason to be surprised at the shooting incident in Texas. He has never shot straight with anything he has said; why should he be any different with a gun in his hands!

Turn on the lights and the cockroaches run!

Following are portions of an article written by Andrew C. Revkin for the New York Times.

A Young Bush Appointee Resigns His Post at NASA

George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA who told public affairs workers to limit reporters' access to a top climate scientist and told a Web designer to add the word "theory" at every mention of the Big Bang, resigned yesterday, agency officials said.
Mr. Deutsch's resignation came on the same day that officials at Texas A&M University confirmed that he did not graduate from there, as his résumé on file at the agency asserted.
The resignation came as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was preparing to review its policies for communicating science to the public. The review was ordered Friday by Michael D. Griffin, the NASA administrator, after a week in which many agency scientists and midlevel public affairs officials described to The New York Times instances in which they said political pressure was applied to limit or flavor discussions of topics uncomfortable to the Bush administration, particularly global warming.
A copy of Mr. Deutsch's résumé was provided to The Times by someone working in NASA headquarters who, along with many other NASA employees, said Mr. Deutsch played a small but significant role in an intensifying effort at the agency to exert political control over the flow of information to the public.
Complaints came to the fore starting in late January, when James E. Hansen, the climate scientist, and several midlevel public affairs officers told The Times that political appointees, including Mr. Deutsch, were pressing to limit Dr. Hansen's speaking and interviews on the threats posed by global warming.
Yesterday, Dr. Hansen said that the questions about Mr. Deutsch's credentials were important, but were a distraction from the broader issue of political control of scientific information.
"He's only a bit player," Dr. Hansen said of Mr. Deutsch. " The problem is much broader and much deeper and it goes across agencies. That's what I'm really concerned about."
"On climate, the public has been misinformed and not informed," he said. "The foundation of a democracy is an informed public, which obviously means an honestly informed public. That's the big issue here."

We know where Bush stands with real people of faith!

CNN.com - Teachers, doctors protest budget cuts

Bush has proposed cuts to programs people of faith should support; and he has increased spending in areas people of faith should oppose!

Yet religious fundamentalists and right wing idealogues, who like to use religion for their own purposes, vehemently support this president and his administration. That's okay; you have that right - just do not call yourselves Christian!

What a coincidence!

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address fell in the same week. As Air America Radio pointed out, "It is an ironic juxtaposition: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, and the other involves a groundhog."

US Congress far from being Christian!

House passes, sends Bush $39 billion in spending cuts

The House of Representatives proved tonight that at least 216 of them have no resemblance to practicing Christians. And if George Bush signs the bill, he also shows he is not a practicing Christian - he just likes the name.

And religious fundamentalists all over this country, primarily Southern Baptists, who continue to support this president and this congress, should come up with a new name to describe their religion! They have no right to call themselves Christians because they d0 not follow the Jesus of the Christian Bible!

I am deeply saddened by all of you self-righteous, Pharisaic, Christians-in-name-only people who put these war-mongering, elitists in office, and continue to support their anti-Christian agenda!
