MUTINY OVER THE BOUNTY...
Now Bush has troops that won't fight and disobeyed a direct order claiming ``We had broken down trucks, non-armored vehicles and, um, we were carrying contaminated fuel. They are holding us against our will. We are now prisoners,'' said  Amber McClenny, a member of the 343rd Quartermaster Company in a phone call to her mother. ``This is a real, real, big emergency,'' McClenny said in her message. ``I need you to contact someone. I mean, raise pure hell.'' This little idea could spread as morale sinks among the troops as they realize. The deterioration in Iraq is worsening by the day. Say what you want but the Internet is THE Best for gathering info.
“Dick” Cheney has early lead for the prestigious “Chock Full of IT!” Award:

Bush Piles ON... The Prez has hit a new long in the nose wars. His is so long that Pinochio has nasal envy! The latesr whopper out of the the fool is that he is not implicated in the 380 tons of missing explosives in Iraq: a little like Miss Muffet claiming to be lactose intolerant. Meanwhile Mayor Rudy blames the soldiers for the missing explosives at Al Qaqaa (it's pronounced just like what Bush is full of). Will Bush attack him as he has attacked Kerry for slandering the troops? Bet not! Bush claims you need to be consistent to be Prez; he IS the most consistent liar in the history of the Presidency.

Whoa! Hold the press! In the last debate the ol' Busheroo reclaimed the lead for this month's "Chock Full of IT!" Award. His "Pinochio-esque" performance him in a commanding lead at the mid-month mark. Last week in one speech he managed a this flip-flop:

1.- "My opponent says he has a plan for Iraq. Parts of it should sound pretty familiar -- it's already known as the Bush plan."

2.- "In Iraq, Senator Kerry has a strategy of retreat; I have a strategy of victory. 

Now which is it?

Cheney came back strong with a red herring assist by his wife, Lynn. over Kerry's use of the "L" word as it pertains to their daughter. Funny, it was OK when Edwards mentioned it in the Veep debate. I'd like to hear Mary Cheney's opinion of the battle, actually more like tilting at the ol' windmills, being fought in her name. I can hardly wait to see what Rove/Cheney, note the order, have falling out the sky in the next two weeks. If they go too negative I think they're gonna get a strong backlash as people are catching on to the vapid red herrings comin' down like manna from heaven. Wasn't Lyn Cheney's book a tad to risqué to allow on the proper list of her books. More Airbrushed History!

I can't believe what a dork bush is. Just a snot nosed little dork. Kerry may be a geek, but Bush is a dork, even worse.  

Although it’s still early in the month, I’ve got “Dick” Cheney way ahead in this month’s Liars… “Chock Full of It!” Award. In the debate, didn't he look like an old boy's vice principal in junior high that gave you the ol' "keep it in your pants" speech? How dour can you get? The whopper that gets him this early lead has gone largely unreported in the press. According to Cheney in the Veep debate we have all these trained Iraqi “militia” or whatever he wants to call them that are loyal to interim Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi. He thinks that the elections will solidify Iraq…yak, yak, yak. This whole thing sounds more and more like Vietnam. They had elections, we trained the ARVN troops and we all know how well that turned one out. It’s like an MP3 version of the Vietnamese LP! I have a novel idea, lets divide Irag into three nations, one Kurdish, one Sunni, and one Shiite. Iraq was formed by the merging of three provinces with distinct ethnic and religious backgrounds by the British (Petroleum). Let’s just turn the clock back! There’s enough desert there to give a couple of other ethnic groups home. If there’s not enough space there, why not give them Wyoming. If the best Wyoming can produce is Dick Cheney and Alan Simpson, I say, "give it to the Kurds!"

Below is a letter Michael Moore sent out regarding Kerry:
9/20/04

Dear Friends,

Enough of the handwringing! Enough of the doomsaying! Do I have to come there and personally calm you down? Stop with all the defeatism, OK? Bush IS a goner -- IF we all just quit our whining and bellyaching and stop shaking like a bunch of nervous ninnies. Geez, this is embarrassing! The Republicans are laughing at us. Do you ever see them cry, "Oh, it's all over! We are finished! Bush can't win! Waaaaaa!"

Hell no. It's never over for them until the last ballot is shredded. They are never finished -- they just keeping moving forward like sharks that never sleep, always pushing, pulling, kicking, blocking, lying.

They are relentless and that is why we secretly admire them -- they just simply never, ever give up. Only 30% of the country calls itself "Republican," yet the Republicans own it all -- the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court and the majority of the governorships. How do you think they've been able to pull that off considering they are a minority? It's because they eat you and me and every other liberal for breakfast and then spend the rest of the day wreaking havoc on the planet.

Look at us -- what a bunch of crybabies. Bush gets a bounce after his convention and you would have thought the Germans had run through Poland again. The Bushies are coming, the Bushies are coming! Yes, they caught Kerry asleep on the Swift Boat thing. Yes, they found the frequency in Dan Rather and ran with it. Suddenly it's like, "THE END IS NEAR! THE SKY IS FALLING!"

No, it is not. If I hear one more person tell me how lousy a candidate Kerry is and how he can't win... Dammit, of COURSE he's a lousy candidate -- he's a Democrat, for heavens sake! That party is so pathetic, they even lose the elections they win! What were you expecting, Bruce Springsteen heading up the ticket? Bruce would make a helluva president, but guys like him don't run -- and neither do you or I. People like Kerry run.

Yes, OF COURSE any of us would have run a better, smarter, kick-ass campaign. Of course we would have smacked each and every one of those phony swifty boaty bastards down. But WE are not running for president -- Kerry is. So quit complaining and work with what we have. Oprah just gave 300 women a... Pontiac! Did you see any of them frowning and moaning and screaming, "Oh God, NOT a friggin' Pontiac!" Of course not, they were happy. The Pontiacs all had four wheels, an engine and a gas pedal. You want more than that, well, I can't help you. I had a Pontiac once and it lasted a good year. And it was a VERY good year.

My friends, it is time for a reality check.

1. The polls are wrong. They are all over the map like diarrhea. On Friday, one poll had Bush 13 points ahead -- and another poll had them both tied. There are three reasons why the polls are b.s.: One, they are polling "likely voters." "Likely" means those who have consistently voted in the past few elections. So that cuts out young people who are voting for the first time and a ton of non-voters who are definitely going to vote in THIS election. Second, they are not polling people who use their cell phone as their primary phone. Again, that means they are not talking to young people. Finally, most of the polls are weighted with too many Republicans, as pollster John Zogby revealed last week. You are being snookered if you believe any of these polls.

2. Kerry has brought in the Clinton A-team. Instead of shunning Clinton (as Gore did), Kerry has decided to not make that mistake.

3. Traveling around the country, as I've been doing, I gotta tell ya, there is a hell of a lot of unrest out there. Much of it is not being captured by the mainstream press. But it is simmering and it is real. Do not let those well-produced Bush rallies of angry white people scare you. Turn off the TV! (Except Jon Stewart and Bill Moyers -- everything else is just a sugar-coated lie).

4. Conventional wisdom says if the election is decided on "9/11" (the fear of terrorism), Bush wins. But if it is decided on the job we are doing in Iraq, then Bush loses. And folks, that "job," you might have noticed, has descended into the third level of a hell we used to call Vietnam. There is no way out. It is a full-blown mess of a quagmire and the body bags will sadly only mount higher. Regardless of what Kerry meant by his original war vote, he ain't the one who sent those kids to their deaths -- and Mr. and Mrs. Middle America knows it. Had Bush bothered to show up when he was in the "service" he might have somewhat of a clue as to how to recognize an immoral war that cannot be "won." All he has delivered to Iraq was that plasticized turkey last Thanksgiving. It is this failure of monumental proportions that is going to cook his goose come this November.

So, do not despair. All is not over. Far from it. The Bush people need you to believe that it is over. They need you to slump back into your easy chair and feel that sick pain in your gut as you contemplate another four years of George W. Bush. They need you to wish we had a candidate who didn't windsurf and who was just as smart as we were when WE knew Bush was lying about WMD and Saddam planning 9/11. It's like Karl Rove is hypnotizing you -- "Kerry voted for the war...Kerry voted for the war...Kerrrrrryyy vooootted fooooor theeee warrrrrrrrrr..."

Yes...Yes...Yesssss...He did! HE DID! No sense in fighting now...what I need is sleep...sleeep...sleeeeeeppppp...

WAKE UP! The majority are with us! More than half of all Americans are pro-choice, want stronger environmental laws, are appalled that assault weapons are back on the street -- and 54% now believe the war is wrong. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM OF ANY OF THIS -- YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE THEM A RAY OF HOPE AND A RIDE TO THE POLLS. CAN YOU DO THAT? WILL YOU DO THAT?

Just for me, please? Buck up. The country is almost back in our hands. Not another negative word until Nov. 3rd! Then you can bitch all you want about how you wish Kerry was still that long-haired kid who once had the courage to stand up for something. Personally, I think that kid is still inside him. Instead of the wailing and gnashing of your teeth, why not hold out a hand to him and help the inner soldier/protester come out and defeat the forces of evil we now so desperately face. Do we have any other choice?

Yours,

Michael Moore
