"The above was not a scene from Buffy the Vampire Slayer- it was just Condi Rice in Iraq a day ago."

…"She stood in the crowded room as her drove of minions stood around her...…A huddling mass trying to draw closer to her aura of evil. The lights flashed against her fangs as her cruel lips curled into a grimace. It was meant to be a smile but it wouldn't reach her cold, lifeless eyes… It was a leer- the leer of the undead before a feeding...

The above was not a scene from Buffy the Vampire Slayer- it was just Condi Rice in Iraq a day ago. At home, we fondly refer to her as The Vampire. She's such a contrast to Bush- he simply looks stupid. She, on the other hand, looks utterly evil."

Bill Moyers' speech to the National Conference for Media Reform

“I wore my flag tonight. First time. Until now I haven’t thought it necessary to display a little metallic icon of patriotism for everyone to see. It was enough to vote, pay my taxes, perform my civic duties, speak my mind, and do my best to raise our kids to be good Americans.”

the downing street memo: smoking gun

" It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action, even if the timing was not yet decided. But the case was thin. Saddam was not threatening his neighbours, and his WMD capability was less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran. We should work up a plan for an ultimatum to Saddam to allow back in the UN weapons inspectors. This would also help with the legal justification for the use of force. "

Bill Moyers Responds to the CPB, Kenneth Tomlinson, and Republican idealogues

"I've always thought the american eagle needed a left wing and a right wing. The right wing would see to it that economic interests had their legitimate concerns addressed. The left wing would see to it that ordinary people were included in the bargain. and both would keep the great bird on course. but with two right wings or two left wings, it's no longer an eagle and it's going to crash" - Bill Moyers speaking this weekend at the National Conference for Media Reform in St. Louis, MO.

US Alone in encouraging others to condemn Venezuela

Washington, May 11 (Prensa Latina) The Bush administration has failed to find a South American country to sponsor an OAS resolution condemning the Venezuelan government of President Hugo Chavez after two high-profile visits to the region.
According to a report in The Washington Times, the pressure has been heaviest on Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
"But Mr. Lula da Silva, who says Brazil-Venezuela relations have never been closer, appears to have rebuffed such entreaties during visits to the country by Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice", the paper underlines.

"It's not Iraqis I'm worried about, either," added Manelick. "It's people from my own country."

"According to Greg Manelick and other former associates, Ryan Manelick had earlier told Army investigators looking into von Ackermann's disappearance that large sums of money were being paid in kickbacks to a U.S. Army officer in Iraq in return for doling out lucrative contracts to another a business associate at Ultra Services.

"Two years after the U.S. invasion, Iraq is perched on the brink of civil war."

""I talk to senior military people and combat commanders who tell me that the situation is much more precarious than admitted," says Col. Patrick Lang, former Middle East chief for the Defense Intelligence Agency. "Even inside the Green Zone you are not safe, because of indirect fire. And if you were to venture outside at night, they'd probably find your headless body the next morning.""
