- In case you've been having trouble recently in deciphering speeches and news reports, fragments of the Winglish-English Dictionary now being compiled: - ...what Democrat has got the guts to stand up in front of the whoreporate media microphones and say: "You know what? The American people have been had. Our democratic republic does not exist. We are in the grips of murderous fascists who spit on the Constitution, or what little tiny scraps may be left of it, every chance they get. Not only that, but there’s every indication 9/11 didn’t go down the way we’ve all been led to believe it did and I demand answers NOW..."
- Antonin Scalia...called his 2004 decision not to recuse himself from a case involving his friend Vice President Dick Cheney the "proudest thing" he's done on the court.
- If former AIPAC policy director Steven Rosen and AIPAC senior Iran analyst Keith Weissman are convicted of espionage for acting as a conduit for Israeli spying in the United States, they should be sent to Israel...Larry Franklin should go with them. In fact, everybody who worked for the Office of Special Plans, where Franklin worked, should be arrested and sent to Israel.
- It's a crime. No kidding. But the media has it all wrong. As usual.
- Three case studies
- McKinney---a longtime critic of covert operations and the CIA, US foreign policy, and the only member of Congress to address 9/11---has been singled out for intimidation, repeated police harassment ("security"), racial profiling, and a special brand of national mass media character assassination.

He makes Bush look like Gandhi .... The prospect of President John McCain should scare the hell out of you.
- One president faces death for being shot at and one student will be in prison for most of his adult life for threatening another president. All presidents aren’t created equal.
- The odd Bangkok prostitute aside, no one's taken better care of Neil than his dear old mom. - It’s all part of a concerted effort to send her packing to the political wilderness and deliver a stern message—criticism of the official fairy tale of nine eleven, as promulgated by Congress, the corporate media, and the neocons at the behest of the White House and the Pentagon, will not be tolerated. If racism is required in this effort, so be it. - The connections between the Bushes and Hinckleys...
- Let us consider Scalia as the Mafia don of the Supremes and the highest court, responsible for appointing our would-be dictator, George W. Bush.
- Harvard study of Israeli lobby's influence costs the academic dean of the Kennedy School his job - The hypocrisy of the Catholic Church -- especially the Archdiocese of Boston -- knows no bounds. When they're not defending child abusers, they're bashing gays. Now, they're defending and protecting Antonin Scalia. - The thrust of this document, reiterated by the party’s Congressional leaders, is that the Bush administration has bungled the war in Iraq and the overall "global war on terror," and that the Democrats can do a more competent job of waging both.

- Americans who tuned in for one of President George W. Bush’s rare press conferences saw a cornered animal trying to squirm his way out of trouble by doing what he has always done - evading the truth. - ...the Pentagon's revolving door is an old story.

- In the perfect neocon world, the American people are completely militarized, indoctrinated, and have the "stomach" (as Robert Kagan deems it) to engage in endless, open-ended war against dehumanized others, a faceless horde of evil-doers. - The last few months has seen a unusual occurrence in the world of political punditry, that of the 'post conflict war monger soul search'. A process by which those in the media and political nerve centre can disown their foaming at the mouth pre-war scaremongering on the basis they were unaware people would die and a country would be left in ruins. It truly is a wondrous sight to behold. - Donald Rumsfeld has made a killing out of bird flu.

- As George Bush's poll numbers plummet to depths not seen in presidential polling since Watergate, it is noteworthy to point out Bush's other "numbers" - Oh, big surprise. Dick Cheney, according to a CBS poll, is less popular than the wife-beating murderer O.J. Simpson, convicted in civil court in 1997. In fact, Cheney is several times more murderous and infinitely more dangerous than Simpson, although Dick is careful to not get any blood spattered on his expensive suit.
- The American Red Cross has come under fire over payments to publicists who recruited stars to add lustre to its image, even as funds ran short for victims of Hurricane Katrina. - A cynic might look at the Clintons and the Doles and say that what is involved is a form of family protection racket. The wives speak out publicly from the floor of the US Senate, warning of "security concerns" over the Dubai port deal, and thereby raising the cash value of the services their husbands perform privately for the emirs.
- A Convoluted, But Scandalous, Tale of Pentagon Pork - Former American Red Cross chief executive Marsha J. Evans received a severance package valued at about $780,000 after she was ousted from the organization in December...

- How many people died so Poppy Bush could be awarded Kuwait's Order of Mubarak the Great? - How many of us knew that the country's vice president--a man that most politically aware citizens know is the country's real leader behind the scenes--is so health-impaired that he always travels with a fully staffed ambulance--including heart specialist--in tow?
- Recently, 8,600 U.S. companies have been taken over by foreign ownership... The politicians were silent. Now, a United Arab Emirates’ enterprise will soon be operating stevedoring companies in six U.S. ports, including Baltimore’s. Its Mayor...almost broke a blood vessel complaining. However, he didn’t say a word while the preceding British outfit was doing the work. - Find illegal activity in the U.S. national security agency you work for. Report it to your superiors.

They stand guilty of high crimes and treason against the United States of America. They are traitors and should be treated as such.

Fortunately for the militarists, Bush has promised war in abundance. - The Bush regime is asserting the Fuhrer Principle, and Americans are buying it, even as Bush declares that America is at war in order to bring democracy to the Middle East.
- The ascension of Rice to the Vice-Presidency would be the perfect way for the Bush Crime Family to set up their longtime cronies, the Clintons, for a return trip to the White House. - Sen. Arlen Specter helped direct almost $50 million in Pentagon spending during the past four years to clients of the husband of one of his top aides, records show. - Her name is Katharine Armstrong -- whose family owns the Texas ranch where Cheney shot his 78-year-old friend, Harry Whittington, on Saturday. What has received virtually no attention in all the shooting hoopla is that the wealthy ranch heiress is also a lobbyist -- a lobbyist who goes quail hunting with the vice president and spends leisurely summer days with the leader of the free world at his ranch in Crawford.
- He was...the New Jersey attorney who guided the investigation and criminal trial of the Arabs involved in the first "terror" attack on the World Trade Center of 1993. This "false flag" operation was designed to form the impression in the minds of Americans that Arabs were targeting the WTC twin towers, so that when 9-11 happened it would be assumed by the world that Arabs were behind the terror attacks.
