OK, I'm depressed - can you help? (pro-bush* stories in news)

[shtinkycat]

Check out the Yahoo front page - most of the stories appear favorable to bush* - about UN's unanimous endorsement; "G8 Leaders Show Harmony on Iraq", Reagan on the f-ing currency, Reagan rises from the dead, etc etc.

I know bush* has to have a few good news days in the coming months, but please remind me - this cannot last. Harmony and endorsement and worshipping dead republicans, is bush* the disaster going to look like a hero?

Thanks in advance, all I have to live for tonight is "Queer Eye", new episode
:D

2. It will pass

BTW, practically everyone I know is tired of the Reagan orgy. By the time of the funeral, I wonder how many people will even be interested.

3. Should have watched CBS

Rather said bush is now trying to do what he should have done get the world behind the Iraqi situation. A slap in the face in a very nice way.

4. How about a joke?

The George W. Bush Presidential library burnt down today and both books were lost. George was crushed. He hadn't even finished coloring in the second one.

Vice President Cheney was visiting a third-grade class, and answering questions.

Billy raised his hand, and said, "I have a three-part question. First, where are the weapons of mass destruction? Second, why does Halliburton get all the business in Iraq? Third, how much will the new Medicare bill cost?"

Suddenly, the recess bell rang, and all the kids went outside to play.

After recess, and back in the classroom, Tommy raised his hand, and said to VP Cheney, "I have a five-part question. First, where are the weapons of mass destruction? Second, why does Halliburton get all the business in Iraq? Third, how much will the new Medicare bill cost? Fourth, why did the recess bell ring thirty minutes early today, and fifth, what happened to little Billy?"

That will keep me off the news channels - which always serves to put me in a lousy mood.

7. Thanks, I'm feeling lighter already

And here's a good one I got in my email today:


A Boston man died and went to heaven -- believe it or not .

As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates,
he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked, "What are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a
Lie-Clock.    Every time you lie, the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she
has never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"

St.Peter responded, "That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved
twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's George Bush's clock", asked the man.
"The President's clock is in God's office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

8. I did watch CBS and it wasn't good for Bush. And still many people get

their news from the main networks.
And on PBS, after what I thought was going to be a whitewash of the senate hearing with Ashcroft, they did a pretty good coverage. Of course, not too many people watch PBS but something is better than nothing. They even had the WSJ guy who got the memos. And what he said is pretty damning for Rumsfeld. They talked about the number of rules for interrogation he had approved and said: 14 were already approved as regular rules, a few others were OK, others they don't want discuss....hummmmmm... I wonder why Rumsfeld does not want to discuss those?????
