In the sights of a joystick killing machine

Ok, so maybe I was a bit hasty in my Google judgement…

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

If Google continues to archive the great film classics and makes them available to the masses for free, maybe I only feel that way about George Bush

This item is for the conspiracy minded.  It is lengthy so don't bother unless you've got some time to read.  It is an interesting piece of journalism proposing that the evidence used by the Bush Administration to suggest Saddam Hussein was looking to purchase uranium from Niger was created by the Bush Administration or others aiding them.  If this is true, it is very disturbing.

Phophetic… 

Government Growth, the Party of Lincoln, and George W. Bush by Anthony Gregory

I like the part where Bush says that with the house, senate and presidency in republican hands we can reduce government spending and shrink government.

In the movie "Head Office" there was an exchange that went something like this…

Jane Caldwell: Don't fall for it, Jack.

Jack Issel: Fall for what?

Jane Caldwell: For the lie we keep telling ourselves. We do the dirty stuff to get the power. It'll give us all the good things we really want. Then we get the power, we can't even remember what goddamn thing what it was we wanted it for in the first place.
