The Guild 8-23-2003 Hamas Calls Bush 'Islam's Biggest Enemy'
WashPost ^ | 8-23-2003 | The Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Saturday called President Bush an enemy of Islam because the U.S. government froze the assets of Hamas leaders in response to a suicide bombing of a bus in Jerusalem.

Speaking to Dubai-based Al-Arabiya TV, Abdel Aziz Rantisi called the action "a theft of Muslim money by the Americans" and said the frozen money doesn't belong to Hamas.

"Hamas does not have any money in the U.S., Europe or even in the Arab states. President Bush has become Islam's biggest enemy," Rantisi said in the interview.

On Friday, the United States froze the assets of six Hamas leaders, including Rantisi, an aide to Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the group's spiritual leader. The United States also froze the assets of five European-based organizations that it said raise money for the radical Palestinian group.

probably under instructions from somebody further up the chain, told the EPA, 'Don't tell the people of New York the truth,' and I want to know who that is."

Ahh, the beast is projecting again.

Uh hillary, Sid the squid doesn't work at the White House anymore.

"Something needs to be done to help alleviate the conditions which have created a disenfranchised and angry faction in the Middle East," he said.

Exactly why we're in Iraq now you big boob.

"I don't think military intervention is the correct solution.

Ok mister know it all, what is the solution?

I keep asking this question to every numbskull who spews this idiot notion, I have yet to recieve an answer.

Everyone compares Dean to McGovern. I see him more as the Dems' Goldwater. One can just hear Dean saying:
"..extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! ...moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"

Dean could easily say he's "a choice, not an echo".

Goldwater's emergence wrested the GOP away from the old Northeastern Republican establishment (Go along to get along). Conservatives were angry at the Washington wing of their party and Goldwater was the vehicle for that fury. Dean's success is much the same: Dems are furious at their reps in Congress for insufficiently challenging the president. Dean appeals to the "true" liberal leanings of the party...and its anger.

Goldwater won 6 states. Dean may do better, but he'll do lasting damage to the Dems. For, unlike the 1964 GOP, Dems don't have a truly appealing figure like Ronald Reagan waiting in the wings. Reagan took what Goldwater tapped into and redirected it to an optimistic, muscular conservatism. There is no voice in today's Democratic party to do the same with Dean's message.

The most interesting question is whether Dean will embrace the Clintonoids. Will he keep McAwful at the DNC? He's got to know the party chieftans want him to lose so Hillary can run in '08. Will he allow them to stay and quietly undermine his campaign?

My guess is if Dean gets the nod, McAwful will be asked to pack his bags and vacate his offices. Wondering if Hitlery has a contingency plan? She really needs McAwful in there to protect her interests.

Get this:

The Los Angeles school district is requesting that parents pay $40 for any day their child misses school! What a demented idea: Your child is sick, so can't avail himself of that day's lessons. Therefore you should pay for the lesson (for which you already paid thru your taxes!). There is no end to the greed of liberals.

The surprize is that it took libs this long to come up with this idea.

When your child is in daycare, if they have a fever you're not allowed to bring them in until they're fever free for 24 hrs. But you still have to pay for those days they're absent. In addition most places of employment won't pay you for those days you're out with a sick child (although now in CA they have that hillary idea... med. leave?). And then there's the doctor bill.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Aug 28, 2003 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- A Baghdad mother and father, to show their thanks to U.S. President George W. Bush for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, have named their son after the American leader. Had the couple had twin boys, they say, the would have named them George Bush and Tony Blair.

The new George Bush - probably the only one in Baghdad - was born six weeks ago to Nadia Jergis Mohammed, 34, and her husband Abdul Kader Faris, 41.

"I tell you all Iraqis hated Saddam's regime. It was only George Bush who liberated us, without him it wouldn't have happened. If he hadn't done it the sons of Saddam would have ruled us for years. He saved us from Saddam and that's why we named our son after him," Mohammed told Associated Press Television News.

George Bush screamed in his crib.

Baby Bush, born July 11, carries the full name George Bush Abdul Kader Faris Abed El-Hussein. He weighed 3.5 kilograms (7 pounds 11 1/2 ounces) at birth.

Two older brothers are named - more traditionally - Omar and Ali.Link

A big thank you to Nadia (mom of George Bush Mohammed) for my new tagline!

His first four words in the interview pretty well sum up his present condition.

Brilliant plan indeed. Everyone sends their child to school sick, then it causes an epidemic, and the district rakes in the bucks. Glad to know they really care about the children.

Another stupid, no-talent celebrity heard from:

When you ask Bianca Jagger how she's doing, her reply is somber: "Well, I could be better but . . . I'm coming along." Maybe her Eeyorish demeanor could be because she's tired of writing letters to everyone, from Peru's president, Alejandro Toledo, to Inter-American Development Bank President Enrique V. Iglesias to President Bush, urging them to halt drilling in "one of the planet's most prized rain forests." It's all connected to the $1.6 billion Camisea Gas Project.

The 58-year-old human rights activist, who was born in Nicaragua, has been a strong supporter of Toledo: "I support his efforts to bring democracy to Peru," she says. "But I am hoping and trusting that he will have the well-being of his people in mind."

"The Amazon rain forests are the lungs of the Earth, and this project will put the progress of Peru and our common future in jeopardy," she writes in her letter to Toledo.

Jagger also has a message for Bush: "Please leave Latin America alone." WashPost

So let me get this straight - she wants Pres. Bush to leave Latin America alone, but she wants him to intervene in this gas drilling matter. Oh, okay, it makes perfect sense to me, somehow.

Gosh, I can just hear Hillary screeching those words "I want to know who that is"...Not a pleasant sound, lol..

The kids in my local school district, in S. California, came home with a note asking parents to "donate paper towels and other cleaning supplies" cauz of budget problems. Lots of maintenance workers have been let go and teachers will have to clean their rooms on occasion...Meanwhile, California lottery money for the schools continues to roll in but can only be used for enrichment purposes....

I have already decided not to vote for McClintock (in this election-I will consider him for any future runs he makes) or anyone else who presently works in Sacramento. I want someone "fresh" who has not been tainted by the atmosphere that Gray Davis has fostered. Davis is such a skank...he has been a vile campaigner for a long time and really and truly, no one does like him....not even the lowest of dems like him...Willie Brown does not even like him....I guess Mrs. Davis likes him (wonder what Her problem is?).

I think R-nold will win. He said today marriage should be between a man and a woman. The local radio station said "Arnold makes a faux paux today"...and that's what it was-stating that marriage should be between a man and a woman...Unbelievable!!

WPXI: Police Chase Ends In School Bus Crash

(pubmom's headline reads:Drug Deal Goes Bad and the fleeing Felons Nearly Hit My Husband and his co-workers)

DH just called to tell me he's fine, and I had no idea what he was talking about. Apparently the three formerly armed boobs drove their vehicle through the construction site he's on right now and nearly ran over several employees before crashing into the school bus. Fortunately, there were no children on board the bus, and no one was injured.

This California recall is getting tooooooo funny. The Los Angeles Times reports tonight:
Cruz Bustamante today "proposed a constitutional amendment that would bring the [oil] companies under state regulatory control by defining the product as a public utility.

Comparing the actions of international oil companies to those of the electric industry, he said the amendment would bring gas prices under the watch of the Public Utilities Commission, allowing it to check price hikes and stockpile greater reserves.

"Californians are being gouged, and under current law we are powerless to do anything about it," said Bustamante, speaking in front of a Sacramento gas station.

If I were Bustamante I wouldn't go around in California talking about being powerless!

Ha Ha!

OK. Mary Carey's fresh enough - or young Coleman's not been in SacTown.

What an unbelievable circus you guys are having out there.

Please check out McClintock a bit more.

Cheers out there!
