Mephisto, Beware of complaining too loudly about CNN on those dreary public space monitors. If you do, they'll simply switch channels to the Faux News Network. Then you'll really be needing to buy more drugs from Big Pharma. They've got you by the short-hairs on every angle. <g> ***** Speaking of rare form, I'm practicing for the Poetry session of our "Dialogue on Iraq" group next Sunday. I just composed this itty bitty ditty. Maybe you can embellish, skewer or otherwise wise me up on my obvious flippant disregard for iambic pentameter, though my disdain for the Pentagon must not be messed with. Message 18934715 Now that we're closing every art program in every school in the Northwest, we may have to make our own art. My effort at poesy here alone is enough to turn voter's minds on snubbing real arts education in the sKuhls. ***** Re: how much money has the Bush family made from the war on Iraq? Hi Mephisto, this is Ari Fleisher. Ray has asked me come by and help you. As you know, there are certain matters of national security that, frankly, are too sensitive to discuss in public. While your inquiry may have value on the face of it, you must realize that there are important reasons why we have decided by Executive Order to make sure that sensitive information doesn't get into the wrong hands. Need I remind you that we haven't been able to gain 100% control of all state's attorney generals at this time? Though NY AG Spitzer has seen the light and the sweetness of our efforts, and John Ashcroft is a saint, there are some, such as perhaps the AG of your own state of Washington who perhaps don't understand the singular importance of you, and the American public, never being given access to what are necessarily extremely sensitive matters of national security. Thank for your understanding with regards to this very delicate matter. Your friend, Ari. ********** Re: WAR CAN MAKE MONEY FOR THE BUSH FAMILY! Well, yeah? Like is that news? Sheesh, why can't we count on you to keep a national secret? kmf.org This revelation was even new to me. I knew GWB's grandfather, Prescott, was a scoundrel in WW II. But I didn't know his great-grandfather, George Herbert Walker, was a scoundrel and a war profiteer in WW I. This family is the most thoroughbred war racketeer sleaze bag operation America has ever unfortunately spawned. Not only is it "the devil take the hindmost!", hell, they're trying to take the whole enchilada. Ay Carumba!
