BUSH, BLAIR STAND BY DECISION TO GO TO WAR.

Washington...Steadfast allies President Bush and outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Thursday strongly defended their decision to go to war in Iraq and to remain there, despite rising opposition in both the U.S. and Britain and their own plunging approval ratings.Standing side by side in the Rose Garden, the two leaders said they had no regrets about the decision, saying Iraq has become the main battleground in the war against global terrorism....

What a pair of stupid, uncaring, blinded by greed and ego sonsabitches..fuck them..fuck them both..If there really was a God he would have taken this golden oppurtunity to smite them both and send their asses into the the burning bowels of hell while making them an example to the rest of the diehards that think being in going to war in Iraq and staying there a good idea..Here's a few that might disagree with them..

There is a little justice in the world...

MUSHER SUSPENDED FOR THREE YEARS..

Anchorage, Alaska..Iditarod musher Ramy Brooks was suspended for two years and placed on three years of probation for abusing his dogs. The eight-member Iditarod TRail committee board of directors voted unanimously on the sanctions.

The 38-year old Brooks was disqualified in March from the 1,100-mile race after witnesses said they saw him punch and kick some of his dogs and hit them with a ski pole when they refused to leave a checkpoint during a March 13 stage..

Bullshit..they should have banned him for life.

Never let him own a pet again, not even as much as an iquana.I sent emails to Peta and then to the people that run the race...joining I know a bunch of other people..But I still think they were too easy on him...I hope his dogs break into his house, drag him off into the Alaskan forests and leave him for the wolves..bastid..

NOT MOTHER OF THE YEAR MATERIAL

MOTHER GETS 3 YEARS FOR FAKING KIDS' DISABILITES

Tacoma, WAsh...A woman who coached her children to fake mental retardation to collect disability benefits was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday. Rosie Costello, 46, must also pay nearly $288,000 in restitution after pleading guilty in U.S. District Court to conspiracy to defraud the state.

I think they should NOT put her in jail..I think they should force her to work with the most severly disabled people there are..6 days/days a week, with one day off and that must be spent in house arrest.I also hope they took her kids away from her..Plus I should be allowed to bip her awake every morning..

This may be the funniest thing I read in the paper all week long...maybe 2 weeks..

WOLFOWITZ'S SWAN SONG

World Bank employees reportedly drank champagne and sang Steam's 1969 hit "Na Na, Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)" upon learning that their boss Paul Wolfowitz, was resigning...

First it was the pet food..now it's toothpaste.

POISONOUS SUBSTANCE IS FOUND IN TOOTHPASTE.

Diethylene glycol, a poisonous ingredient in antifreeze, has been found in 6,000 tubes of toothpaste in Panama,and customs director Degado Diamante said Friday the product appeared to have orginated in China.the same poison was inadvertently mixed into cold medicine by Panama's government last year,killing at least 100 people. Records from that incident showed the poison came from China..

Hey, Wal-Mart? How's that deal with China working out for you?....I think we are now starting to reap the benefits from our trade deals with China...Wonder how many dogs, cats, people will have to die from the shoddy, unsafe work practices before some safe guards are put up...For instance...lets make our dog food, cat food, tooth paste, cold medicine's etc...right here in our own country..Hell, if this Amnesty deal goes through in Washington, we'll have plenty of workers...and it's not like we don't have enough people to do the job without going half way across the world to have a bunch of uneducated Chinese do our jobs for us..I think people should start reading the small print on the products you use..see where it's made..I know you're used to seeing made in China, etc. on the bottoms of your knick nacks, tennis shoes, and clothes..but how about your sundries..Check em out..see where they are made..especially those things you buy from Wal-Mart and the $1 stores..

I have another rant coming in the next day or two about the things we get from China and what's in them...think I will do it Monday...

So many things to bitch about..so little time..
