BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) — A conservative German minister in a southern state has caused uproar by saying U.S. President George W. Bush should be "shot down" for his handling of the crisis in hurricane-struck New Orleans.
Andreas Renner, Social Minister in Germany’s southern state of Baden-Wuertemberg, clarified later that he had only meant Bush should be downed politically.
During a visit to a local company on Tuesday, Renner said of Bush: "He ought to be (…)

In a way, it’s amusing.
Watching the Bush cabinet, sycophants and True Believers scurry madly to explain that Bush is not to blame for ANYTHING. It seems that the main object of the post-Katrina government effort is not to succor the victims, drain the water, or rebuild the city but to refurbish the image of immortal leader George W. Bush which has been tarnished by the fecal waters of the Gulf.
All efforts are made to (…)

Synopsis
Even in America?! Bleat the politicians and the US media. Only in America! Responds Daniel Patrick Welch, with an eye on how the response to Hurricane Katrina lays bare the uncivil infrastructure beneath the US’ carefully maintained façade. Issues of class and race are nowhere more starkly on view than they are in the wake of this largely man-made disaster. The near total incompetence and callousness of the Bush administration has thankfully floated to the top of New Orleans’ (…)

Obituary - William Rehnquist
By: Dr. jur. Stefan Grossmann, 9-5-5
William Rehnquist croaked Saturday night, 9-3-5.
Sing hymns of joy!
Above, Rehnquist is seen administering the oath of office
to his chosen candidate for President, George W. Bush.
A robed bench rat and traitor is gone. The man with the nut-house face presided over the U.S. Supreme Court far too long. His legacy is in accordance with his insanity: Bush II, 9-11, Afghanistan, Iraq, stolen elections, wiping out the (…)

Ask Newt Gingrich about Intelligent design. Newt is sidestepping the controversy of ID. Simply put ID is an anti-science movement, being promoted by Sun Myung Moon. Moon supported the "Wise-use" movement that helped propel Newt into the lime light. The ’Wise-use’ movement was an anti environmental cause that promoted lowering environmental standards across the board. They attacked by undermining environmental science.The ID movements are anti-Darwin with Moon funding because Moon had a (…)

JERUSALEM, July 11— Israel’s government will request $2.2 billion from the Bush administration to help pay for its planned evacuation of the Gaza Strip and four Jewish settlements in the northern West Bank later this summer, Israeli officials said Monday.
The amount, which would be paid over three years, is equal to roughly one year’s worth of U.S. military assistance to Israel. It represents one of the largest one-time aid requests Israel has made to the (…)

9/05/05 "ICH" — — If you’re not pissed off, you’re not paying attention.
George Bush is going to go down in history as the President Who Destroyed America.
Oh sure, there were problems before he ever took office. Every nation has problems. But in the year 2000, the USA was at a fairly high point. The economy was growing. Science was moving forward. International relations were fairly good. The future looked bright. And then, an election was rigged, and a "President" who was never (…)
