Dept of Lies
Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis Libby, and Bush's advisor Karl Rove, leaked Valeria Plame's name to several reporters in an attempt to smear her husband's report that thoroughly debunked the Bush assertion Iraq had pursued nuclear weapons. Read about some more of this, here. The Bush White House has been lying about this for 2 years. Reporters have repeatedly asked and repeatedly been chastened/abused for even insinuating that high moral characters like Rove and Libby could even tangentially be involved. Well now the truth is becoming known. They lied. Rove and Libby did it. Don't listen to the right wing fascists, this is not simply the matter of a CIA agent's name being made public, by their disclosure, several CIA front companies were exposed, their employees exposed, and all their contacts exposed. It was not done to help censure a bogus report filed by Ambassador Wilson, as Rove claims, but rather, to enable the Bush people to continue to claim that the Nigerian yellow cake fraud was real, so that we could justify the war in Iraq.
Rove and Libby need to be fired, now, and prosecuted, soon.

Religions And Murder
IN the aftermath of the London commuter bombings last week, the Muslim community has been shocking the world with their loud, adamant condemnations of these vicious murders, the murderers' philosophy, and the very idea that any Muslim anywhere would support this type of murder... Except of course, they did not, they are silent, as ever. Where is the outrage? Where are the millions of Muslims who are rising up, indignant and scandalized that a group of 4 assholes could attempt to sully their image and religion with callous murder? Where?
I'm a California Christian, and if a group of California Christians were involved in horrific murders, you can bet your ass I would be making damn sure to distance myself from them, to lambast them, to disavow their bullshit ideology.
The asshole who bombed a women's health care clinic and set off the bomb during the Atlanta Olypics is going to be sentenced soon, read about it here. He gave his reasons for killing these people, and you guessed it, it's because he's "a devout Christian." Guess what? He is not a Christian. Christians don't murder people in the name of Jesus. There are probably a million Americans right now who are secretly (or not so secretly) chuffed that Rudolph blew up the "abortion" clinic, that he's taking "a stand" against the "immoral" government that "allows" abortions. Where is the Christian indignation? For the record, this asshole Rudolph is not a Christian and has nothing in common with the beliefs of those who actually are Christians. Real Christians should disown him and whatever diseased ideas come from him.
Christians and Muslims, speak out against this violence, do it NOW!
