“Hey Barry,
Bush is in Brussels. Any way to keep him from coming back here? Disable the airlines? Try him for extreme stupidity? You would be a hero to 280 million people…”
Well no, but I know this really rancid pita place right around the corner of NATO headquarters — if we could just get him to have supper there…
When G Dubya arrives on the tarmac of Brussels airport next Feb 21, here’s what may await him. Priceless.
The President, the First Lady and Dick Cheney are flying on Air Force One.
George looks at Laura, chuckles and says,” You know, I could throw a $1,000.00 bill out the window right now and make somebody very happy.”
Laura shrugs her shoulders and says, “Well, I could throw ten $100.00 bills out the window and make ten people very happy.”
Cheney says, “Of course then, I could throw one hundred $10.00 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy.”
The pilot rolls his eyes, looks at all of them and says to his co-pilot, “Such big shots back there….. hell, I could throw all of them out the window and make 56 million people very happy.”

It’s easier than “doing the bop”: if you are around Washington DC today, for the Inauguration Day of the mandate of the King George II, don’t forget to turn your back on Bush, if you can.
If otherwise you are around Cleveland this saturday 22, don’t miss “The World’s Greatest Sinner” at 8.30 on the Clev. Cinematheque, 11141 East Boulevard.
Both actions will make you in peace with your conscience,
i tell you.
Aaaw, Operation Iraqi Freedom. It’s all starting to get a little predictable, don’t you think? So glad Rumsfeld pinpoints my country as being part of the ‘Old Europe’. Here’s to the coalition of the Unwilling! Still: ain’t this boogie a mess?
“Most bizarre among the [Pentagon’s] plans was one for the development of an “aphrodisiac” chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a “distasteful but completely non-lethal” blow to morale, the proposal says.” — New Scientist.
On Thursday, January 20, 2005, George W. Bush will be inaugurated as president of the United States — AGAIN. For a nation that prides itself on being the land of the free, these are some interesting factoids to peruse. With that in mind, Mike’s Inauguration Guide might be of interest to those of you who live in the US. Various other calls to action are listed at Velvet Revolution. It is good to see the Bush-Neocon opposition alive and kicking, I must add. From all of us here at KUR: keep up the good work — it will make a difference, and that’s what matters.

This image is begging for a suitable caption. Alas, I’m too lazy to think of one.
“It’s just Bob Dylan’s song. We were just singing Bob Dylan’s song … If you think it has to do with Bush that’s because you’re drawing your own conclusions. We never conveyed that Bush was the person we were talking about,” said Allysse Wojtanek-Watson, a singer for the band.
