The Judith Miller story leaves us wondering if there was a broader conspiracy to aid and abet George Bush in his march to war? The New York Times, as well as the Washington Post, were both quick to support this effort in futility. One has to wonder, "Why?" The news at the time was fashioned to promote all the drivel coming out of a White House hell-bent on going to war with Iraq, giving the impression that the press was joined at the hip with the White House and the DOD's Office of Disinformation! The very fact that the internet has to drive the truth to the American people should tell you something about mainstream corporate media's snuggling and sniggling with the Bush administration!

RED ALERT: It is indeed a sad day for America when one has to question whether a terrorist threat against America is foreign born, or just another sleazy piece of propaganda from this administration and the Repuglicans intent on maintaining their position of power.

My God, what have we become now that Bush and the radical right wing extremists are calling the shots? Compassion? HA, there is no compassion in this bunch of sadists, because I have looked into their eyes and seen the hearts of those who believe the pain of injury and debilitating disease should not be eased by medical marijuana! I've witnessed the benefits -- the relief of excruciating pain and uncontrollable nausea -- that smoking marijuana could bring to persons diagnosed with and eventually succumbing too terminal illness! I've seen an otherwise dysfunctional human being able to return to the activities of daily living thanks to marijuana. A little advice to those who are righteous and so sanctimonious: disease and injury does not discriminate, pain and suffering can strike whenever and wherever it pleases. Someday, it could be you looking for relief, a little compassion, and a joint.

Cutting the "print" pool reporter is just another not so subtle way to punish and intimidate those in the media who are inclined to tell the truth! It is an attempt to control the news content by the Bush administration, a shot across the bow, if you will, to anyone who may still believe in telling the American people the truth about George Bush!

After watching George Bush "talking with the troops in Iraq," on what has literally become the boob's tube, I have one question: How much longer are they going to allow him to embarrass himself as well as embarrass all of America?
