Editor's Note:
Here are some things our constitution will not allow, Thus they are all constitutionally Null and Void. The Patriot act, The Department of Homeland Security, The War on Drugs, The war in Afghanistan, The War in Iraq, The War on Terrorism, a Preemptive strike War with Iran and the list goes on and on...  In short, Bush and every member of his cabinet are guilty of high treason and so are ALL U.S. congressmen and senators who voted for any of the things listed above.

Katrina body counters secretive, corrupt
As James Wolcott has pointed out, quite apart from the human grief and misery of Katrina, it might well become politically significant whether the Katrina body count exceeds the 9/11 death toll of about 3,000 people. But that presumes that a full and accurate accounting of deaths will actually happen. Two developments don't give me confidence on that score...

Bush Administration Breaks Record
Administration Borrows more from Foreign Nations
than Previous 42 Presidents Combined

A release from John Tanner (D-TN)
Washington, D.C. - President George W. Bush and the current Administration have now borrowed more money from foreign governments and banks than the previous 42 U.S. presidents combined.

Throughout the first 224 years (1776-2000) of our nation's history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions according to the U.S. Treasury Department. In the past four years alone (2001-2005), the Bush Administration has borrowed a staggering $1.05 trillion.

"The seriousness of this rapid and increasing financial vulnerability of
our country can hardly be overstated," said Rep. John Tanner (D-TN)

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these
Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness--
That to secure these Rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,
that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles and organizing
its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness" . . .

Editor's Note: The link above has been on this home page for most of the year because, G. W. Bush, Dick Cheney and most of their cabinet are being sued for 7 billion dollars by the families of 9/11, for helping to plan and assure that the 9/11 attacks were carried out as planned. This case first went before a U.S. judge on 1/3/2005, and it's currently being appealed in the 9th circuit court in Ca... Regardless of what political party you favor, I feel when the president of the U.S.A. is being sued for 7 billion dollars, it's the medias obligation to bring these facts to the American people.

The Project for the New American Century, commonly called the PNAC,

of the world by numbers and how and why to get them conquered.

On September 18, 1787, as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the meeting, at the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia where our Constitutional Republic was formed, Mrs. Powel directly asked him, “Well, Doctor, what have we got?  A republic or a monarchy?”  Mr. Franklin responded,
 “A republic, if you can keep it.”

NOT A NEWS STORY... OR IS IT ?
Try To Figure These Out
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three
rooms. The first is full of raging fires. The second is full of assassins with
loaded guns. The third is full of lions that haven't eaten in three years.
Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over
five minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go
out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all
of the water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still
tell which water came from which jug?

4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and grey when you
throw it away?

5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

6. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out
what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing
was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though.
Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd.
But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.


Answers are below :

1. The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years would be dead.

2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband,
developed it, and hung it up to dry.

3. Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and put them in the
barrel. You will be able to tell which water came from which jug.

4. The answer is charcoal used for a barbacue.

5. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

6. The letter "e", which is the most common letter in the English
language, does not appear once in the long paragraph.

THIS IS A JOKE,  IT'S NOT A NEWS STORY, OR IS IT ?
AMERICAN BUSINESS AT ITS BEST
Toyota, a Japanese company, and GM, an American company, decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day the Japanese won by a mile.
Afterward, the American team became very discouraged and morally depressed. The American management decided the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found. A Management Team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action.
Their conclusion was the Japanese had eight people rowing and one person steering, while the American team had eight people steering and one person rowing. So American management hired a
consulting company and paid them an incredible amount of money.
After six months of hard work, they advised that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. So the American Team acted: To prevent losing to the Japanese again next year, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to four steering supervisors, three area steering superintendents and one assistant superintendent steering manager.
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the one person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program," with meetings, dinners, and free pens for the rower. Even new paddles and medical benefit incentives were promised for a winner. "We must give the rower the empowerment and enrichments through this quality program."
The next year the Japanese won by two miles.
Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles and canceled all capital investments for new equipment.
The money saved was distributed to the senior executives as bonuses for a job well done.

There is a new STD that all citizens of the US should be alerted to:
Gonorrhea Lectim - The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior.
The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim...pronounced (gonna re-elect him). Many victims contracted it in 2004 after having been screwed for the previous four years.
Cognitive characteristics of individuals infected include: antisocial personality disorders, delusions of grandeur with messianic overtones, extreme cognitive dissonance, inability to incorporate new information, pronounced xenophobia and paranoia, inability to accept responsibility for own actions, cowardice masked by misplaced bravado, uncontrolled facial smirking, ignorance of geography and history, tendencies towards evangelical theocracy, categorical all-or-nothing behavior.
Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how the destructive disease originated
only a few years ago from a bush found in Texas.

Planet Alert February 2006
..."Many have criticized Bush for staging the war in Iraq in order to seize Iraqi oil fields. However, those critics can't explain why Bush would want to seize those fields - he could simply print dollars for nothing and use them to get all the oil in the world that he needs. He must have had some other reason to invade Iraq. Bush must have went into Iraq to defend his Empire. Indeed, this is the case: two months after the United States invaded Iraq, the oil for food program was terminated, the Iraq EURO accounts were switched back to dollars, and oil was sold once again only for U.S. dollars. No longer could the world buy oil from Iraq with EUROs. Global dollar supremacy was once again restored. Bush descended victoriously from a fighter jet and declared the mission accomplished - he had successfully defended the U.S. dollar, and thus the American Empire." ..

perspective in one of its releases:
A billion seconds ago
- it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago - Jesus was alive
A billion hours ago-
our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion dollars ago - was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the
rate that the Federal Government in Washington D.C. spends it.

Editor's Note:  A viewer wrote in on 6/29/2005, telling me the statement above was wrong.
 Here is what he had to say...

On your website you have a statement about what is a billion:
1 Billion Seconds ago it was 1973 not 1959
1 Billion Minutes ago Jesus had died and been risen for over 60 years
Depending on the Budget the 8hrs 20min might actually be a lot faster.
(The 8.333hrs is dependent on a yearly budget of 1.051 Trillion dollars)

My Thoughts...
Since the annual budget that President Bush proposed for the up coming year is over 2.4 Trillion dollars... That would mean that our government is now spending your tax dollars at the rate of over 2 billion dollars every 8 hours !
*****************
Despite what President Bush says, the war on Iraq is not over. The cost of this war to the American tax payer is going up every second. Since we can't put a price on human lives, we will just give you the figures in tax dollars that the American tax payers have paid as of right now. These figures were provided by the Costofwar.com website.
