$9B Goes Missing In Iraq
The only people truly benefiting from the War on Iraq is the Bush, Cheney, James Baker inner-circle and the rest of their neo-con billionaire boys club. And don't say shit to me about the success of the Iraqi election. We are supposed to be over there to find WMD's. Or were we looking for Bin Laden? Now its about another rigged election. What, you don't think it was rigged just like Florida and Ohio? Come on. There had not been an election in Iraq for what, 40-50yrs? Who do you think showed the Iraqi people how to conduct a fair and balanced election? Or you could legitimately ask who produced the show? Wake up republicans. You cannot be so damn blind. $9 billion bucks is missing that was supposed to go toward humanitarian aid and reconstruction for Iraq. The investigation is underway. That's how I see it. Now you check it out.

The Bush Budget: Mean as Hell
Friends. I hope every mother fucker in America can plainly see that King George is all about helping his corporate friends. His Rangers were those who could easily lay out $200,000 at fundraisers during his campaign. Those who could only raise $100,000 were demoted to Pioneer status. Well, his budget is a big thank you to his money friends.

Cuts all over the place to the working and middle class. He helped his corporate buds by making it harder for the little guy to receive substantial damages in Class Action lawsuits by moving them from state to federal court. And of course we must not forget he is about to seriously fuck up Social Security while again making his stock market beneficiaries real happy with all those new personal accounts. That's how I see it. Now you check it out.

FOX News doctors AP reports to mimic White House terminology
Wouldn't you know it. Faux News Channel has been cold busted for doctoring Associated Press articles to reflect White House Propoganda Minister Karl Rove's spin on the Invasion of Iraq. Get a clue people. This right-wing media machine is a clear and present danger that could lead to our very demise. That's how I see it. Now you check it out.

Gannongate: It's worse than you think
The plot thickens every day with fake reporter/escort Jim Gannon. When the story first broke, people were wondering how this guy with no real journalism background and asking softball questions could get White House access. I mean Talon News, the outfit Gannon was representing was not even a "real" news organization. Oh and of course Gannon is not his real name. Jim Guckert is his real name. But for sanity sake he shall remain Gannon in my book. Talon basically took White House press releases and reported them verbatim as "news". Well - come to find out Talon News did not come into existence until April 2003. Gannon initially received clearance to the White House through GOPUSA. GOPUSA is a right-wing outfit based in guess what state? You got it. Texas.

Thank you Armstrong Williams. You finally started a long overdue debate about the Bush propaganda machine. It is amazing that right-wing politicians and media mouths claim there is a liberal media. Give me a fucking break. Here is an update from Eric Boehlert and Salon.com.

Bamboozled Patriots: Supporting Our Troops
The following link is a great piece written by the father of a soldier being deployed to Iraq. Just yesterday I was telling a friend how silly people looked driving around with Support Our Troops magnets on their cars. So sadly naive they are. Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34 RSV) If these genuine, yet bamboozled patriots really supported our beloved troops, they would not buy into the blatant and obvious lies that the W on the other side of their bumper sold them. Where are all the Mission Accomplished stickers at? If you want to support the troops then challenge the motives, track record and competence of G.W. Bush. It is ok to accept the fact that you were lied to and taken advantage of by this administration and it's bought and paid for media outlets. You may be embarrassed but God forgives you. I'm Chaz Atlas and that's how I see it.
How Dare Some Say, 'Support our Troops'?

Black Scholars Boycotting Black History Month.
If you believe the mainstream media, you would think that there is a vast multitude of black leaders who are boycotting speaking engagements and events during February - Black History month. They claim they they are tired of being "pimped-out" in February then forgotten the rest of the year. Well boo-fucking-hoo. Maybe you don't get invitations during the rest of the year because you are shallow year round. Anyway, don't believe the hype. There are only a handful of uppity "scholars" (whose shit don't stank) that feel they are too good to go to Black History Month events. Well fine if you want to be like that. See people, these are the same rare Negroes you will also find planted behind George Bush or Dick Cheney at their speaking engagements. Planted strategically so that they show up grinning on the tv and in print. 5,000 white people in the audience and 3 of "us" right over the shoulder of the President or maybe even next to him on a stool. Please. Well, check out more on this story with our friends over at BlackAmericaWeb. I'm Chaz Atlas and that's how I see it.

Bush/Conservative Double Talk
George W. Bush, your appointed President is uncanny at double talk. Saying one thing and completely meaning another. No doubt Karl Rove is behind the new emphasis on certain buzz words. Rove brought new life and a permanent place in presidential election history to the word Flip-Flop. Do you know what the new name for "men-of-color" of all races and nations that stand in the way of neo-conservative domination? Think about it for a second. Times up. Thugs. Yes, the new and improved noun for dark skin men.

Whether you are a hip-hop star, NBA player, kid that hangs out at the mall with baggy clothes or Iraqi insurgent - you my friend are a Thug. The 21st century nigger. Everybody uses the term now. Its republican code people. Just pay attention. You will hear it coming out of some assholes mouth soon enough. Here is some more double talk info thanks to our friends at Common Dreams. http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0210-20.htm

New Drug from the Makers of Zoloft: Based on G.W. Bush
The manufacturers of Zoloft, a popular antidepressant, announced today that they would begin work on a pill that encapulates President Bush's mental disposition. "No matter how bad things are, this pill will make you believe everything is really great," said Betty Garland, a spokesman for Pfizer. "We think this pill will be a best seller."

Indeed, preliminary research indicates that the so-called "W is for Wonderful" pill will induce a state of blissful, ignorant euphoria among its users. The idea for the pill arose after polls showed that a whopping 77 per cent of the American people who watched Bush's address felt that "all was right with the world" after hearing the speech. This same group of listeners felt that their most pressing concerns involved choosing a new upgrade for their riding mower and finding a dishwashing detergent that doesn't cause "unsightly spotting."

The pill will be marketed under the slogan, "Come on! Drink the Kool-Aid!'
Side effects of the pill include blindness, dizziness, addiction, deafness, hypocrititis, ovationoriasis -- an inability to refrain from giving a standing ovation to the most shallow homily --as well as ever-increasing debt and susceptibility to a military draft. (Courtesy 2/9/05 Tomburka.com)

Jeff Gannon: White House Correspondent & Gay Porn Pimp

Jeff Gannon was acting as a White House Correspondent for Talon News. He just got busted. This is a real juicy story. Armstrong Williams was the first in what I think will be a great number of right wing media scandals. First of all, Gannon has no journalistic credentials. Second, Talon News is a right wing republican front run by a republican player in (you guessed it) Texas. Jeff Gannon is not even his real name. How did he get White House clearance using a fake name? It does nothing but promote the right wing agenda and is very homo-phobic. Ironic as their own White House press boy also owned domain names and operated some hardcore gay sex sites like hotmilitarystud.com, militaryescorts.com and militaryescortsm4m.com.

Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with those sights. If that's your thing, pay for the membership. But Jeff, don't be a bitch and denounce gay marriage and condemn Sponge Bob Squarepants for being gay while at the same time making money selling memberships to gay hardcore sex sites. And by that pic of yours Jeff, you look like you are ready for some Iraqi Freedom yourself :) Check out the rest of the story here: http://mediacitizen.blogspot.com/2005/02/gannon-quits-after-blogger-inquiry.html
I really really hope that there is not only public demand but democratic insistence that an investigation occurs into the Gannon, Talon, White House connection. Yet again, some more bullshit. WakeUp America. Stupid ass. I'm Chaz Atlas and that's how I see it.
Here is another good story: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/02/10/gannon_affair/index_np.html

NBC's Brian Williams - Fair and Balanced?
You know with this major liberal media bias we have here in America, it is ok if a few of our major network anchors have neo-con tendencies right? No. There is no liberal media bias. There is no liberal media. The "liberal media" was a bullshit excuse for the GOP back in the 80's. It was the excuse they used when their policies and ideas failed. Kinda reminds me of the bad guys who got caught at the end of Scooby Doo cartoons. When those charachters failed in their devious missions, they always said, "I would have gotten away with it to, if it werent for those pesky kids!" After failure, the Repubs would always say, "We could get our policies passed, if it weren't for that damn liberal media!"

So why does everyone believe there is a liberal media? Because America has been told there is a liberal media day in and day out since the late 80's. Every day, every hour on the hour. There isn't even the remote resemblance of fair and balanced opinion on tv or radio. Well, let us add to the ranks of another liberal media presence who apparently isnt that liberal. http://mediamatters.org/items/200502070007
