DANCING BUSH
I'm sure by now most everyone has heard about the incredible amount of forgiveness inundating the offices of the INS. These folks are so above common understanding, they feel it's okay to issue visa extensions to dead people. Not to mention people that decided to fly two planes into the World Trade Center bringing them to the ground, killing thousands. Put on top of it one of them was the mastermind behind the whole thing and it can only make one distraught with disillusion. Odd the visas would arrive on the 6 month anniversary of their madness. Ari Fleischer, Pres. Bush's media dude, was to have a press conference Wednesday to answer the many questions that were born from this lunacy. It was cancelled because Bush, himself, wanted to address the nation. I was quite certain he was going to blast the INS and pledge funds to insure these poorly-funded departments can be up to speed. Seemed to make sense to me. Seemed to make sense to the folks at CNN, CNBC, and FOX. It was pretty much a given. So what did Bush have to say at the press conference? How angry he was at the Democratic Senate for not approving all of his judicial nominations. Griping that only 40 of the 90 plus nominees were okayed, he went on and on about the Democrats "lack" of willingness to be bipartisan. What a dancer. OBVIOUSLY, the Bush camp hasn't figured out what to say yet and needed time to step back. Possibly thinking they'd get blasted by the fact their own budget gives next to NOTHING to support this now VERY IMPORTANT department. The judge situation is NO REASON to hold a special press conference, and I don't believe for one minute they thought so, either.

RED CROSS BLEEDS IGNORANCE
Not sure what school it was, but a college in these United States were planning to hold a fund-raiser and give all the proceeds to the Red Cross. Naturally it would be a great opportunity for people to get together and share their spirit and national unity. Songs to be sung were standards like "America the Beautiful" and "God Bless America". Sounds like a wonderful way to raise money for a worthy cause. Unfortunately, the Red Cross is run by Communists Fascist Scum who don't believe in equal rights and a right to religion or the right to believe in God, or the right to sing songs like those mentioned previously, which just so happen to mention God. You see, the songs are the reason the Red Cross refused the idea. Instead of allowing good intending people to help others in need, they put on the mask of such humanitarians as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, who also felt an urge to supress freedom of thought and belief for all people. The people running this organization are, in my view, false to their cause. How they could turn away one dollar of support because of this is beyond my comprehension. Unless this is their new strategy. I guess it could be that they no longer want American money, as it states IN GOD WE TRUST on every single peice of currency they receive. As this is the only rational conclusion I can come to, I'll fulfull their desire and give my money to the American Cancer Society, instead.

Till next time, take care and God bless,
Matt
