. . . further to Lucky Pierre's link:

It was announced in Washington today that because President Bush will be unable to fulfill his duties, Vice President Dick Cheney will take office on his behalf. In the event that Cheney becomes incapacitated, the Presidency will be assumed by the CEO of Halliburton. The Constitutional rewrite (called 'fine tuning' by Washington insiders) necessary for the orderly transition of power will be handled within the week.

Sleep well, America.

Brucie:

I don't like Bush's policy on immigration (wetbacks), taxes and some other things. I think he is pissng away too much money. I do think he is the best candidate to handle the Terrorist threat. What good would money be if you were dying radiation from a dirty bomb?

People beat him up about being after oil. If so, he is only after oil for the US economy. He does delve heavily into the religious thing to win support from the religious people but I am not against that. I feel that there is and ever increasing sleaziness and immorality in the US and something needs to be done about it.

All of this who struck John about WMDs is noise. The people accusing him of lying now thought the same thing yet they are exonerated but Bush is not. Listen very closely to the statements all around the world about Iran and WMDs. Who will be accused of lying about Iran in the future?

The US government is a collection of bureaucracies, many of which are archaic and ineffective. They make lots of mistakes. I don't blame that on Bush. It is not as if Bush built every department from the ground up, they were handed to him and he tries to make it work.

When he attempts to force changes the CIA for example they whine like babies and put up a fierce resistance.

With regards to Newfoundlanders, I had, as I said, a housemate from Newfoundland for 7 years. I used to go to Ad Astra SF con, in Toronto. When I did, I would always joke with the Canadians, that I should bring my Canadian housemate along, after all, he speaks the language, ha ha! (Don was a computer programmer, and he was deaf in one ear. The only spoken language he knew was English.) The joke was always followed by the response, "Oh he's not a Canadian, he's a Newf," followed by comments that Newfoundlanders were lazy, dirty, and all on welfare.
In that Don's great virtue was that he did the housework, I took exception to these remarks. Don said he was Canadian. He was very proud of being Canadian.
The only Newfy joke I tell is the one about the Newfoundlander who opened a Chinese restaurant. The food's just great, but half an hour later, your half an hour later.
Now, I would like to thank the Canadian people for thier lovely protest. Though there was no massed raspberry, it was nice for Bush to see people who don't approve of him. Grace O'Malley, my pirate kitten was particularly pleased by the pirates. As the former president of Cute Kittens for Kerry, she was very disappointed when Bush won the election.

Well, I attended the protest on Parliament Hill yesterday at noon.

As usual, the press focussed on a few minor acts of violence, and ignored the fact that the overwhelming majority of protesters were peaceful...

What struck me about this whole circus, was the very overt security measures.
Police, helicopters, snipers, CSIS and RCMP video surveillance.
Barricades on Parliament Hill preventing citizens from access to our main symbol of democracy.

All in all, a disappointing day for democracy.

Hearing comments about protesters being dirty AND jobless bums.

Hey, I had a shower before I went! I'll admit to being jobless, since I retired from the civil service, though.
Except for some low paying jobs as a part time musician...

Some other thoughts...

Watching our "Elite" smiling and joking with Bush and company at the state dinner last night. Kissing the emperor's feet, it seemed.

Reading rants by our goose stepping political columnists this morning,decrying the protest.

Wondering whatever happened to the America that supposedly cherished the right to speak out. Has it all distilled simply to the "right to bear arms" in support of politically correct causes?


I supported the American invasion of Afghanistan...but by I decry the human cost of this pet war in Iraq.
Some have estimated up to 100,000 civilian deaths. It leaves me with the uncomfortable feeling that many Americans believe other human lives don't have the same value as their own.


All in all, it helped me clarify and re-affirm my principles. From now on I will vote for our democratic socialist party, and encourage Canada to reach out to other countries more-- and to the United States, less...

Marion, sorry I missed you there; but the CD will be on its way to you by mail.

Rich,I find it incredibile that you never realised that most of the people in the US couldn`t care less about the lives of anyone the US is at war with, well done those Canadians who turned out to lambast this evil scum-bag.

another bit of trivia not covered by the US press.

at least 3 reporters from the Presidents entourage went and paid their
20$ bucks each and had their flu shots.

also one reporter scored some weed from a protester.
and two (same sex) reporters went off to city hall to get married.

Thats hilarious Petr!

I was a little surprized that when I picked up the Province to see what kind of a welcome Bush got, the front page showed a postage size picture with the message: details on page 17.

The headlines on page 17 - Bush defiant about war in Iraq.

Another on page 17 - Bush says, I'm the kind of man that does what he thinks is right.

I think the placement of the articles and the headlines show that Bush isn't all that important to the Canadian public. He's important to the politicians in an economic sense but it sure looks to me as if Bush isn't much of a priority to the people of Canada.

umm, wasn't it MOSES who had the date with the burning bush? Or was it Charles Hesston? Can't remember which as they're both the same age.
