Adding another epithet to the shower of well-deserved derision our unelected fake President attracts from the rest of the human race, Jan O. Karlsson, the Swedish Minister of Migration adds the delightful "that fucking Texas geezer," setting off a predictable firestorm of controversy.
Don't worry, Jan, the sane people of the world agree with you. The only thing I regret about this is the likelihood that he will apologize for insulting the scumbag idiot son of an asshole George W. Bush.
Jean Chrétien, Prime Minister of Canada, blasts Dubya's sabotage of the US economy as reported by Canada.com.
The unelected criminal George W. Bush enters the ranks of fiends like Slobodon Milosevic with his plans to turn Guantanamo into a death camp in which secret sham trials with hand-picked government lawyers will be followed shortly by summary executions.
The Bush Administration does not seem to think its charges against the people its wants to kill will stand up in a real court, and with its previous policy of covering up and obstructing investigations into 9/11, I wonder what secrets this administration has. It doesn't seem like George W. Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush was a banker to the Nazis for nothing. The Bush family's ties to Nazis is probably because the Bush family has a natural kinship for bloody-handed murderers, since that's what they are themselves, Bush himself being the most prolific death warrant signer in recent American history.
No great writer, Bush's pen practically flies when signing death warrants, so I suppose it's no surprise America's bloodthirsty Executioner-in-Chief has a hard-on for the idea of a death camp of his own, free of piddling concerns like actually having to prove people guilty of crimes before slaughtering them by the hundred.
Of course, there was one case where Bush showed clemency, the case of his seeming soul-mate, the most prolific of American serial killers, Henry Lee Lucas. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, it was Jeb Bush's Florida which could not manage to execute Lucas' co-killer Ottis Toole. While probably meaningless, it bookends Dubya's death camp dreams.
While it isn't surprising in the least, considering the criminal history of the Bush crime family, Newsweek reports the duplicitous Bush administration is covering up the congressional report on 9/11 in Classified: Censoring the Report About 9-11?
The secretive and corrupt Administration has classified such things as documents already on the CIA website, showing our "President" isn't called Dumbya for nothing.
New Iraqi TV Complains of US Censorship
This story could almost happen in the US except for one thing. No TV station in the US would actually complain of censorship, having already removed any factual content without even being asked to do so.
At the extended entry is an only slightly incomplete list of all Scientology corporations and their trustees, directors and officers as of September 21, 1993 submitted by Scientology to the IRS as part of their submissions supporting their fight for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, as more fully documented by Chris Owen.
One corporation, however, is fascinatingly missing from this list. Considering its general level of importance, its absence from this list is intriguing. That corporation is, of course, the Church of Spiritual Technology, owner of all Scientology intellectual properties. This site contains extensive documentation on CST and its history.

As if the psycho prosecutor going after a photograph of breasfeeding as child porn weren't bad enough, now a dipshit flight crew has gone after it as terrorism.
I would weep for my country if I could stop laughing. This is truly Moron Nation.
The Guardian reports that former drug czar William Bennett, one of the crazed fascists who spent years destroying the Constitution in a doomed, Puritanical crusade to persecute drug users, is himself a compulsive gambler as addicted to a disgusting vice as the people he persecutes.
Bennett, perhaps as a display of some sort of sick humor, wrote a book entitled The Book of Virtues. I doubt it included odds on $500 slot machines.
How can anyone take this futile idiocy seriously any more when the "drug warriors" are themselves addicts and lunatics like Ashcroft confiscate glow sticks and bottled water as "drug paraphernalia?"
On the The SecurityFocus BugTraq mailing list, Ramon Cascales has posted perhaps the dumbest IE bug ever, a single line of plain HTML which crashes IE (and Frontpage and Outlook Express and anything else that uses shlwapi.dll).
Any page including <input type crash> will promptly crash IE.
To add my own wrinkle to this and show off my mighty rudimentary PHP powers, I have written (or ripped off a tutorial site) a PHP script which, if you are using IE, outputs the fatal string, but if you are not, merely congratulates you on your taste:
<?php
if (strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],
"MSIE")) {
?>
<input type crash>
<?php
} else {
?>
<center><b>Lucky for you you're not using IE!</b></center>
<?php
}
?>
This is probably entirely superfluous. I believe a page that consisted of the fatal line and the congratulation would probably work, since any IE user would never see the congratulation, having crashed on the first line. Only Microsoft could bring us something quite this stupid.
