Now it's Time for Compare and Contrast
Whatever you say about the last 4 years, you must admit that in terms of the economy, just like Iraq, the administration has stayed the coarse. Clearly, the increase in the number of new billionaires can attest to the the president's relentless determination (Forbes Rich List). And what about the report last month reflecting a third year increase in poor Americans? The president has obvioudly been working hard to increase their numbers, too (US Poverty Rate). No one dare deny that Bush is sincerely committed to seeing both of these important demographic groups grow.
Another great moment for American Ingenuity

Walmart: Purveyor of Anti-Semetic Tracts
Did you know that Walmart, America's superstore, has been, until today, selling copies of the Protocols of Zion? They claim to have finally stopped after all of these years ... that is, after groups outside of the heartland demographic complained. But if you click here, the version in Spanish is still conveniently available. Look for other great supremacist reads from the Walmart Library like The Turner Diaries, copies of Goebbel's Der Angrif, and the collected essays of David Irving.
Walmart: Another landmark in America's quiet march towards neo-fascism.

Reuters: Blacks to be Harrassed to not Vote
If the past serveral elections are any indication, African-Americans should beware of dirty tricks, phony veiled threats, and arbitrary enforcement of arcane 19th century Post-Civil War laws to discourage their voting.
Vickey Beasly, a rep for the People of the American Way describes, "In elections in Baltimore in 2002 and in Georgia last year, black voters were sent fliers saying anyone who hadn't paid utility bills or had outstanding parking tickets or were behind on their rent would be arrested at polling stations. It happens in every election cycle."
In Philadelphia's mayoral election last year, schemers posing as plainclothes police officers demanded voters identify themselves. There were also reports of mysterious persons shooting video of blacks waiting in line to vote. Just recently in Florida, people were wrongly turned away when they could not produce a photo ID. Only first-time voters registered by mail are mandated to do so, not those who have been registered to vote for years.
Another big problem could be the recurrence Florida's 2000 election shenaningans, where the President's brother Jeb happens to be governer. Names of voters were somehow magically purged from the voting list that year. Many of them, uncoincidentally, happened to be African-American.
There are also curious issues where registration forms somehow get lost in the mail, especially in swing states, or were rejected on a technicality of which the voter is not informed until it is too late.
Let's here it for the return of Jim Crow!

House Speaker Dennis Hastert Now Al Qaeda Spokesman
Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert apparently is moonlighting as political spokesman for Al Qaeda. During, uncoincidentally, a campaign stop with Dick Cheney, when asked to elaborate in reference to mentioning the train bombings in Spain in March, Hastert asserted that Osama bin Laden et al. would operate more efficiently if Kerry were elected.
Question: How does Hastert feel he knows such information so well, of the political leanings of groups like Al Qaeda in regards to the upcoming US elections? Has he been instant messaging with Al Zarhawi recently?
Worldwide Headlines demands an investigation!

Iraq on Brink of Civil War; Bush 'Pleased with Progress'
In yet another effort to blow smoke up the collective ass of the nation, Bush praises an Iraq where Babylon slouches further towards anarchy. Despite the emphatic smile, monosyllabic platitudes about honor and glory, and smug, dumb assurity, GW's schtick wears thin.
The truer question that he cannot answer with a straight face. Are we better off now than we were four years ago?
