George W. Bush and the Suppression of Truth

Graphic images that reveal the devastating impact of global warming in the Arctic have been released by the US military. The photographs, taken by spy satellites over the past decade, confirm that in recent years vast areas in high latitudes have lost their ice cover in summer months.
The pictures, kept secret by Washington during the presidency of George W Bush, were declassified by the White House last week. President Barack Obama is currently trying to galvanise Congress and the American public to take action to halt catastrophic climate change caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Dicked Around

The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the agency’s director, Leon E. Panetta, has told the Senate and House intelligence committees, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.
The disclosure about Mr. Cheney’s role in the unidentified C.I.A. program comes a day after an inspector general’s report underscored the central role of the former vice president’s office in restricting to a small circle of officials knowledge of the National Security Agency’s program of eavesdropping without warrants, a degree of secrecy that the report concluded hurt the effectiveness of the counterterrorism surveillance effort.

John McCain is Still Alive!

Noting that the media spotlight has been shining on his 'big mistake', John McCain has resurfaced.
Not to be out done, he's taken the same tact as his presidential campaign running mate has...e.g. finger pointing and bottom feeding by calling on CIA director Leon Panetta to retract his statements about Dick Cheney wherein Panetta apparently remarked that the former VP "almost wishes" for another terror attack on U.S. soil simply to prove his point that President Barack Obama is pursuing a dangerous national security agenda.

Gay Marriage Advocate : Dick Cheney

Apparently, former Vice President Dick Cheney and most Republicans don't see eye-to-eye on the issue of same-sex marriage.

In the same speech, Cheney also confused the names of Osama bin Laden and President Barack Obama.

Dick & Dubya Differ

Former President George W. Bush is sticking by his promise to leave President Barack Obama alone — prompting some second-guessing by allies of Vice President Dick Cheney, who is determined to confront the new president.
Bush has stuck to his memorable declaration that he owes Obama his silence, while Cheney continues to grant colorful interviews in which he warns that the Democrat’s policies are making the country less safe.
One Cheney supporter referred to “confusion” and “bewilderment” among conservatives that Bush has not taken the same tack.

THE PUNCHLINE

"I can't believe Dick Cheney. He keeps giving speeches, and he's appearing on TV news shows. It's like he thinks he's still president."

Redford vs. Bush

Conservation groups filed a lawsuit Wednesday to block the Bush administration's last-minute sale of oil-and-gas drilling leases in Utah on spectacular scenery near national parks and ancient rock art panels.
The Bureau of Land Management has scheduled an auction Friday to sell drilling leases covering more than 100,000 acres of wild land in eastern Utah.
Actor Robert Redford, a longtime environmental activist, called the lease sale "morally criminal."
"These lands do not belong to Bush and Cheney. It's our land — public lands — and the BLM is supposed to be protecting lands on our behalf," Redford said via satellite from Los Angeles during a news conference in Washington.
President Bush "may be a lame duck," Redford added, "but he can still quack. I say: Stop it. Enough is enough."

The Past and The Present

Worst of Times?

Is everything spinning out of control? Midwestern levees are bursting. Polar bears are adrift. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Home values are abysmal. Air fares, college tuition and health care border on unaffordable. Wars without end rage in Iraq, Afghanistan and against terrorism.
The can-do, bootstrap approach embedded in the American psyche is under assault. Eroding it is a dour powerlessness that is chipping away at the country's sturdy conviction that destiny can be commanded with sheer courage and perseverance.
Leaders are not leading...they are driven only by power and greed...Ignorance, it seems, has the upper hand...the 'what's in it for me' generation threatens to kill us all...
You can thank the clowns listed on the poster above...and all those who voted for the fear and terror they represent.
