    Daily Show Spoof Leads To Firing Of Broward Art Guild Chief By Jamie Malernee, Staff Writer July 22 2005
    Once again, there’s controversy over "Controversy," the Broward Art Guild’s May exhibit — this time brought by The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
    The guild’s board of directors on Wednesday fired executive director Susan Buzzi, who has worked there at least 10 years, after she appeared in a Daily Show spoof on an explicit art piece without consulting them.
    "They called a secret (…)

    By Mike Ceaser In Caracas, Venezuela
    Rafael Cabrices does not know whether the attack will come by sea, by land, or even from within Venezuela.
    But he is sure that US President George W Bush is plotting to oust leftist President Hugo Chavez - and Mr Cabrices is preparing his people to fight.
    "That crazy man wants the petroleum," Mr Cabrices, 60, says in his office decorated with posters of Che Guevara, Simon Bolivar and President Chavez.

    The most ominous transformation in American life since our nation’s inception
    Editor’s comment. In my opinion, one should be damn afraid of the miltarization happenning around us. I’ve recently come across direct personal experience of a miltary matter that raises serious concern for us. I’m looking in to it. If my suspicions are correct we are in deep shit, correction, as we are already in deep, let me use the word plunging into the deepest shit. Thursday, July 21, 2005

  • Give the terrorists what they want, what do they want?
    21 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    I’m guessing that if we don’t invade Iran, create laws that further restrict civil liberties, and/or establish more secret interrogation facilities where we smear doo-doo on people in a humane way, the terrorists will strike again.
    After all, they hate us because of our freedom, so if we give in to their demands they might stop terrorizing us.

    Bush Administration Launches Unprecedented $200 Million Propaganda Campaign To Win You Over On Iraq War (using your money to do it!)
    George W. Bush and his staff can get any and all media time they want simply by calling up a journalist and saying, "Hey, want an interview?" But the "Bullypulpit" has limitations, all the more so given the FACT that the case Bush and Blair have made is flimsy, at best.
    So, what’s a "good" president to do? Slippery Karl Rove and other notorious spin master (…)

  • Former Intelligence Officers De-Spin Rightwing Assault on Valerie Wilson
    21 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    One of the pieces of disinformation being peddled by the Save-Rove gang (see the item below) is that Valerie Wilson wasn’t really undercover. So the leak? No harm done and no crime committed (since the relevant law says a leak only counts as a crime if the exposed officer was working under cover). But how do they know that Joseph Wilson’s wife wasn’t a clandestine officer in a serious manner? Well, they don’t. There’s nothing on the public record that fully explains her duties at the CIA. (…)
