Some right wing US journalist:

got paid $21,000 (twenty one thousand dollars) for writing an article
that supported W Bush prior to his election.


I would willingly write an article supporting bush.
As long as it's printed on toilet paper, stretched between two high posts, and
supporting him, while he's fitted with a sturdy noose.

Personally, I thought It wasn't a patch on Bowling for Columbine.
High on gloss.

Maybe, maybe not, but the question that interests me is: 'Why did the
film sensationally fail to convince the American public'? Based on the
book 'Dude, where's my Country', it's main and only aim was to assist
in the prevention of the re-election of GW. The book, the timing of
the film, all the publicity was geared to this. And yet, in terms of
how the election went, it would appear that it barely had any impact
whatsoever.

What a paranoid individual he was, blimey. We have hindsight of
course. To watch some of those interview witchhunts now, particularly
the one with the truckers union guy[forgotten his name now], is really
quite bizzare. Remembering also of course that both John and Robert
Kennedy were heavily involved at that time....in fact they both sat on
the infamous McCarthy panel I believe. Slap in the middle of the 'Red
Scare'.

Anyway...no answers here I'm afraid.

If you "enjoyed" 9/11, make sure you see "Bowling For Columbine", just
as scary. To think that these people are the only superpower, and think
they own the world...

I think the USA fkeel they were in a similar position to us here.
complete tosser in power, but an even bigger one in the wings.

Also, the great American Burbs. Where they really believe in God Guins
and apple pie.


Plus the nastiest campaign I have EVER seen to denigrate the democrats,
Clinton Kerry and anyone else who got in their way.

Plus the distinct and chilling feeling that a few polls were rigged.

Unholy allianec beween the pro zionists and the Saudis, both of whom had
a real reason to trounce Saddam.

And whose looking for Bin Laden anyway?

He'll never come in alive: He knows too much to go on trial.

Nope, and no free world anymore either.

yes we all rember MT (Marg Thatcher) for all you young punks that still
are in your nappies. The guy (Bush) is clearly off his rocker but
please don't pretend you understand culture. I (a british man) living
in America for over 10 years now much prefer the concept of love than
hate. The old joke of "how can you tell whan a British Airways aircraft
has landed" still holds so true and I am so glad I got out of the whiny
brigade when I could. Bush is a moran but you are a bigger moran to
hold a country responsible for the actions of one man with a lot of
money Next topic Tony Blair he he ho ho

Well that's me warmed up for tonight's show.

(It's either that or Albert Einstein.)

Sore subject ...

Given that the eldest has a good honours degree in IT, would you expect
that when asked to start the video, because you were going out for a
meal with friends, he would press the off button instead of the record
button ... because it's also red ?

I give up !

It's the same as trying to use reasoned argument with xtians - they
filter out the bits they can't cope with
