“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the TRUTH becomes the greatest ENEMY OF THE STATE.” — Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda minister
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." —Margaret Mead, anthropologist

Some of the contents of this page have been borrowed from BUSHWATCH : a
web site that monitors the wit (?) and wisdom (?) of George Dubbya Bush.
VISIT BUSH WATCH. Here are two typical samples from this highly recommendable site: CRAWFORD, Texas (AP)--"President Bush called Sen. Paul Wellstone 'a plainspoken fellow' who did his best for Minnesota and the United States. 'I would like to express my deep condolences for the loss of the Senate, 'Bush said shortly after hearing of Wellstone's death Friday. 'And also, I would like to express my condolences to the bereaved family.'" "There's no doubt in my mind that we should allow the world worst leaders to hold America hostage, to threaten our peace, to threaten our friends and allies with the world's worst weapons." --George W. Bush, South Bend, Indiana, Sept. 5, 2002. Official White House Site There are many more examples to be found on BUSH WATCH including a great stack of flagrant Bushian "untruths".  |

Political Humor (Bush)
Today President Bush has clarified his world view saying 'You're
either with us or you're with the terrorists. Or you're with the
terrorists but you have oil [graphic shows Kuwait]. Or you're with
us but you hate us [graphic shows Egypt]. Or you're with us, but
you fund all the terrorism in the world [graphic shows Saudi Arabia].
Or you're a hundred percent with the terrorists accept for one little
guy in charge [graphic shows Pakistan]. Or you're with us but you can't
really help us [graphic shows Iceland]. Or you're with the terrorists
with each other and against us even though you really hate each other
[graphic shows Iraq and Iran]." —Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"
