  • President George Bush: ’Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter’
    12 July 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    George Bush surprised world leaders with a joke about his poor record on the environment as he left the G8 summit in Japan.
    The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter."
    He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

  • The Seething

    The Seething By David Glenn Cox
    People generally are passive and understanding, but as the pressure builds the passivity evaporates and what is left behind is a crystallized seething. A feeling that says, “I’m being screwed and I’m tired of it and you hide and watch what happens to the next person that tries it.” President Bush made a You Tube appearance where he waved to onlookers as he stepped off Air Force One and they just stared back at him. (No caption necessary) Their silence spoke (…)

  • Our Warrantless Wiretapping Lawsuit
    11 July 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    This afternoon (10July2008), President Bush signed the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, a piece of legislation that will needlessly expand the government’s ability to spy on Americans and ensure that the country never learns the full extent of Bush’s unlawful wiretapping. There were many good Senators who showed courage in standing up to the White House and for the Constitution, but not enough.
    A few hours after Bush’s signing, The Nation joined with the ACLU in a lawsuit filed in the US (…)

  • ABC NETWORKS SENDS OUT MEMO TO STEAL SHOW IDEAS
    11 July 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    As many writers and creative types already knew, Hollywood’s biggest companies have been stealing copyrighted scripts and shows for years. Now we have the proof. ABC actually sent out a memo telling executives to find show ideas from Europe they could take, so they would not have to pay licensing fees. Why are the FBI and other Copyright enforcers only enforcing the law when it helps the six multinational Studios? Because Congressional members get money from those Multinationals. Will the (…)
