i was watching
hal fishman on ktla news (yes, too poor for cable) and he was responding to a

broke, but better broke than more 9/11's in our cities." seriously, wtf?
his
contradiction aside, his comments are essentially aligning al qaida with
saddam, something bush has continually done in misrepresenting (or lying, you
choose) the facts in order to whip up some support from the sheep he calls the
american people.
at least 61 u.s.
troops have died defending our great nation from those a-rab terrorists since
bush, standing on his aircraft carrier, told us the war was over. at least we
have justified america's occupation by finding proof of an imminent threat
because of saddam's WMDs. oh wait....
also, i watched
dennis miller's "raw feed" dvd from a march performance. now besides
his surprising ultra-conservative minimizations of such topics as abortion,
global warming, and the (impending) war in iraq in order to make a cheap
(though esoteric) joke, the main comment that stood out for me was this:
"the reason i like bush is that he's not clinton." classic, but disappointing.
i have been a fan of dennis from the snl days, even supporting his misguided
attempts at a late-night talk show gig. with this i mind i never thought i'd
say this to him: dude, stick to football.
peace, eb

Eric, Because we
destroyed Iraq's electrical plants and their water supply, the people and
children are drinking water from a filthy river, risking an outbreak of
cholera. our men are STILL dying in this "war AFTER the war" and the
violence is escalating. mothers of hungry and thirsty children HATE us and just
want us OUT OF THERE and rightly so; we never should have gone there in the
first place... Ultimate irony? Both Bin Laden and Hussein are supposedly alive
and well! when Bush was asked at a press conference when he was going to bring
our soldiers home he simply walked away. PS i can't BEAR to read the-kid's
emails.
Is he really
that stupid? He needs to let Clinton go; can't he think of anything else to
talk about? Does he not know that Clinton is no longer in office?
Maybe you'd best
remind him. There will be many casualties among the innocent citizens who are
unable to feed and give good water to their children and they will have to
watch their babies die... this reminds me of animal farm; the people are worse
off now than they were before we "jumped in to help".

LOL! Well
welcome to the club Eric...
Now you know how
I feel when I watch ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, or when I read the LA
TIMES, NY TIMES, SF CHRONICLE, TIME, NEWSWEEK etc.
etc. etc.
And needless to
say, most clelebrities when they open their mouths to whine about the same
Ultra-Liberal things you just whined about. e.g.
Don't cut
funding for the arts in our schools, it's so important. Even though our
democratic governor has made a complete disaster of our state (You know that
guy that nobody ever mentions because he is a democrat).
As I was watching
"Hannity & Colmes" yesterday on cable (Sorry, I can afford
cable... and you can too, but if your dreams ever come true and the U.S. ever
becomes that great socialist nation you hope for, well then we can all have
cable because it would be the law right?) and Michael York (Think Logan's Run)
was on to debate the topic of that and Sean Hannity asked him "Why if it
is so important to keep these programs in the schools, why don't you and all of
your super rich Liberal actor friends just donate a Million each? I'm sure they
can afford too. why should the taxpayers have to pay for this? especially now
that the state is in such a mess because of the man you helped elect as
governor?" (21 million is being cut) and he replied "I don't think
that is possible" Sean pressed on "Why isn't that possible?"
when he couldn't come up with an answer, this is the only thing he had to say,
"Why should "WE" have to?" Needless to say, Sean once again
pointed out the hypocrisy of these people (Libs-Socialists-actors) who always want
this, complain about that, yet when told to lead by example, they balk, like
clockwork. I guess they only know how to protest while clogging up traffic in
the street causing the cities millions of dollars for extra law enforcement.
Thank God Dennis
has seen the light! and if you Lib-Vampires ever get out of your coffins and
see the same light, it won't kill you, it will just open your eyes to the
truth.
Jack
No, I didn't.
Honest. I ran out of gas! I had a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for cab
fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from out
of town! Someone stole my car!
There was an
earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO
GOD!" ... Gray Davis lying about our state budget
Unfortunately
for you and your fellow uber-Libs/Socialists, it's the light much of the
country has been recognizing as the right light.

great day to be gay
eric,
dennis miller
has become what my dad now is: a one time liberal whose selfishness has
manifested itself with old age. but . . . there is hope. the u.s supreme court
has struck down the ridiculous and bigoted texas law that criminalized
homosexual sex. the texas sodomy law, as many of you all may know (and others
may not), aimed itself squarely at homosexual behavior while ignoring
heterosexual acts of the same sort (use your imaginations). while one may find
homosexuality unpalatable to their own lifestyles, to criminalize consensual
love and one's ability to act upon such love seems ludicrous. thankfully, the
court agreed. it is interesting to note that scalia, in his dissent, charged that
the court had entered the "culture wars" on the side of the
"homosexual agenda." scalia, thomas and rehnquist(sp?) all signed on
to this opinion, which raises an interesting question: do we, as a nation, want
more of them? remember: w. has time and again stated that he would like more
judges on the supreme court whose ideas mirror that of this trio.
despite the
president's thoughts and philosophy, the court has acted to buttress the true
egalitarian values of these united states. the court also made it clear that
not all sexual relations were protected by this decision. despite what scalia
wrote, bigamy and incest is still not legal and will not be. it's a great day
to be gay, or straight, or american.

Amen to this!
why, in Heaven's name, would anyone EVER care about what's going on in someone
else's bedroom? Who has time? Or the interest? i just finished reading the
latest biography on JFK entitled An Unfinished Life by Robert Dallek.
credentials: he has taught at Columbia, UCLA and Oxford. he is currently a
professor of history at Boston U.( he is also the author of a classic
two-volume biography of LBJ...) An Unfinished Life is a very interesting
read...totally absorbing. in a 1975 Gallup poll regarding who ranks as our
greatest president, 52% of respondents ranked Kennedy first, ahead of Lincoln
and FDR; ten years later, he remained #1 with 56% backing...A poll released on
presidents day in Feb 1999 declared Lincoln the greatest, with Washington, JFK,
Reagan, and Clinton tied for second. (Reagan??? i had to read that one
twice...) how could Reagan outrank FDR? At any rate...read this biography if
you have the time...

The tragic thing
is that this issue went to the Supreme Court at all.
they also have
no right choosing our president...if gore, who won the popular vote, were in
the white house where he rightfully belongs, we would NOT be at war with iraq
and we wouldn't be hated by the other muslim countries...
(Had kennedy
lived, we would NOT have gone to vietnam; we can thank LBJ for THAT debacle! )
i have this fantasy about getting a large yellow rubber raft and putting the
following people on it: Renquist, Scalia, Thomas ( now THERE'S a sleaze...he
always makes me think of pubic hair and Coke cans-disgusting! ), Rush Limbaugh,
Jerry Falwell (sp?) and setting the raft in the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean...and waving bye bye! I sTILL can't find a button or a bumper sticker
that says Impeach Bush... WHY iS tHAT?

Why Brian how
"Latent" of you to think of me like that ;-)
Be careful, you
might have your "Liberal Express" card cancelled. It's not
"Politically Correct" let alone very "Liberal" to make
reference or even joke about Homosexuals Butt F'ing each other is it? So be
careful if you tell jokes like the following in the future.
What do you call
a gay dinosaur? Megasoreass
How do you fit 4
gay men on 1 barstool?
Turn it upside
down.
Three Gay Guys
Sitting In A Bath Tub. A Condom Floats To The Top.
One Guy Says
"Who Farted?"
Whats the
difference between a lesbian and a rhinocerous?
50 pounds and a
flannel.
What do you call
a lesbian eskimo?
Klondike
What do you call
a lesbian dinosaur?
A Likalottapuss
Why do gay men
have moustaches?
So they can hide
the stretch marks.
Talk to you
later "Mr. Gay." (just kidding, "Mr. Day")
Jack
BTW, what was up
with Erica getting a little self conscious about people thinking you guy's were
gay until he *smiled :-)* and just went with it?
What were you
two wild and crazy guy's doing? Was it the fact you both had your arms around
each other? Was it the soft butterfly "Freedom" kisses you were
giving each other? Did Erica braid his hair again? Did someone see you two
earlier when you were down in "WeHo?"
How could I have
been so blind about you Erica? the signs were all there, The new Hybrid Car,
The Braids, The Thorn Birds being your all time favorite mini-series, your
recent purchase of tickets to the upcoming "Cher" concert, your love
of the old apple logo's color scheme, your extensive MP3 collection of
"LIZA", but that's cool with me, you're still an above average center
fielder in my book!

jack, i find
your need to constantly refer to me as "erica" (and this has been
going on for years) slightly disturbing yet greatly enlightening. i am
beginning to realize that between the lines of your many gay jokes there is
something else going on. it wasn't until i read your little scenario about
brian and i that i suddenly realized you were actually fantasizing about us as
you were composing. damn, dude, this is basic psychology. next you'll be
smoking cigars.
