That Cass Brown, known as Atheist Jesus,
Has cancer does not really please us.
But if godless he passes,
From this world full of asses,
Then his chance for real peace just increases.
See the Blog that Cass Brown is dying for and while your there be sure and check out the beautiful Texas Images.
He's captured the Texas I grew up in.

I wasn't paying as much attention to things in '93 as I am now so, I find this bit of history very interesting.
It's a story in the Washington Post about Clinton responding to Iraq's attempt to assassinate George Bush Sr.
Clinton, speaking in a televised address to the nation at 7:40 last night, said he ordered the attack to send three messages to the Iraqi leadership: "We will combat terrorism. We will deter aggression. We will protect our people."
Seems like swatting flies worked pretty well. Dubya should have tried it before he said he was tired of it.
Today, I find this most interesting;
Aides met with Clinton Wednesday in the White House residence to present a summary of the evidence gathered by FBI and intelligence sources, the official said. On Thursday, Attorney General Janet Reno and CIA Director R. James Woolsey presented the president with their formal reports.
Walls Ashcroft? The only fucking walls are the ones in your brain that prevent you from seeing that you are not omnipotent.

This led me to this;
The fishing commentator said he has long known the family and previously fished with the first President Bush.
But he said he was mystified as to how the face time with the current president had come to be.
Officials at the Outdoor Life Network said the White House had approached them.
Bush has been courting the millions of voters who fish and hunt.
On Wednesday, he led a tour for about 20 representatives of hunting and fishing groups, including Ducks Unlimited and the National Rifle Association. Bush was supposed to fish with Martin's crew that afternoon, but on a day of raging violence in Iraq, he put it off.
They floated on the pond for about 1 hours. White House aides told Martin that
``things were kind of calmed down'' in Iraq and that prospects were good for another session Saturday.
Friday "calmed down" While Dubya Fished

KEAN. So when Mr. Clarke writes that the president pushed him to find a link between Iraq and the attack, is that right? Was the president trying to twist the facts for an Iraqi war? Or was he just puzzled about what was behind this attack?
RICE. I - I don't remember the discussion that Dick Clarke relates. Initially he said that the president was wandering the situation room - this is in the book, I gather - looking for something to do. And they had a conversation. Later on he said that he was pulled aside. So I don't know the context of the discussion. I don't personally remember it. But it's not surprising that the president would say, what about Iraq, given our hostile relationship with Iraq. And I'm quite certain that the president never pushed anybody to twist the facts.
Hmmm. I don't remember it, I don't know anything about it but, I know it didn't happen.
Has she always been as stupid as Dubya or has he just rubbed off on her?

"There is no precedent in any modern White House for what is going on in this one: a complete lack of a policy apparatus," says DiIulio. "What you’ve got is everything—and I mean everything—being run by the political arm. It’s the reign of the Mayberry Machiavellis."
CONTEST WITH MOVEON.ORG by Al Franken
It’s my honor to team up with MoveOn.org, which I am told has made use of the Internet to great effect. While I myself do not have an Internet, my son does, and he says you guys are terrific.
Here’s the deal. My job is rhetorical jiu-jitsu: I take the words of right-wing jerks, and I use those words to heap scorn and ridicule upon them. It’s what I do. And I need your help. These guys say so many stupid and dishonest things every day that no one man possibly can sift through all of them. I need you to be my eyes and ears, so that no right-wing ideologue can ever again safely traffic in distortion and calumny.
Yea, I say unto thee. Let the flaming sword of justice rain down blows upon them, that they may rue the day when this contest was announced.
Click here to submit. We’ll put the best stuff on the air, and send the winner a signed book. Signed by me. Al Franken.
The future of our nation rests in your hands. Good luck!
This contest was created for you Ricky.
President Dupes Homophobes Aliens and Astronauts in
Effort to Retain Current Home away From Home
Some of President Bush's splashiest proposals are languishing in Congress even though his party controls both chambers.
Proposals to bar gay marriage, rewrite immigration laws, protect Americans from anthrax bacteria and send astronauts to the moon and Mars are progressing slowly -- or not at all -- even though Bush initially endorsed them at high-visibility events.
Not that I'm complaining.

ABSTINENCE-ONLY SUPPORTERS PUSH TO INCLUDE "STORK" AND "WATERMELON SEED" EXPLANATIONS OF PREGNANCY
SIOUX FALLS, SD - Supporters of abstinence-only programs for area high schools are pushing legislation they hope will take even more sex out of sex education. The bill, called the Birds and the Seeds, will require teachers to instruct students that babies are the result of "a person swallowing watermelon seeds" or that they are brought by storks. "We believe that keeping our young people ignorant is the best way to protect them..." More>>
SENATOR SANTORUM NOW CLAIMS LIFE BEGINS WITH SEDUCTIVE GLANCE
PITTSBURGH, PA - When does life begin? That debate took an odd twist this week when anti-choice Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) stated that he had evidence that life begins much sooner than previously thought. "My research indicates that when a woman glances seductively at a man, she is setting in motion a series of social and biological events that eventually lead to fertilization," he said. Scientists from UCLA called the theory "pure bunk..." more...
