NEW THREAT TO BUSH DREAM......LIBRARIANS
Hi Karen,
It's a minor matter, but the blatantly partisan and obstreperous American Library Association is dissing the President. Can you believe this treason?
washingtonpost.com
Laura Bush had a difficult choice to make: her beau or her books.
Librarians are riled enough to suspend borrowing privileges for the president after learning that FBI investigators have been coming to libraries to inspect the reading records of people they think may be involved in terrorism. The feds are allowed to do that under a Bush plan to increase surveillance powers, passed by Congress last fall as part of the Patriot Act.
"It's nobody's business what you read but your own," fumed Judith Krug of the American Library Association, which is protesting the law. "We have not repealed the Constitution or the Bill of Rights." Krug said virtually all of the association's 65,000 members would share her opposition -- and she believes the first lady was once a member of the American Library Association. So how does the first librarian feel about it? "I'd be interested," Krug said.
Laura Bush is siding with her husband over the librarians. "These are extraordinary times for our nation because we are at war against terrorism," the first lady said in a statement read by her spokeswoman.

I'm thinking about writing to the First Lady.
Dear Madame,
I'm an underpaid scrivener, and I've noticed that your spokewoman, writing your lines and speaking for you is doing, well, shall we say, a disservice to you inasmuch as we both know you're much smarter than that, much more caring than that and well, you can actually use bigger words than that.
So, let me give you an example of the work I could do for you, and you know I work cheap, and will accept payment via VISA to my Cayman's partnership and we just won't sweat the 1099's, OK? Anyway, here's my new and improved version of "These are extraordinary times for our nation because we are at war against terrorism,"
Ready? OK.....
"These are the end days that confound the terrorized of our nation, our war is just as just as just can be, that's why we fight this war, on terrorists and people like them. We just want to end the confoundation of our nation and impose a new beginning, really more like a renewal, or a "regime of the Rapture".

Your Truly, etc. etc. |
