Powell is Pissed
Well, well, well. Finally somewhere in the former top of the Bunnypant administration has come out and said how pissed off he was at the data that he himself presented to the U.N. pre-invasion Iraq. Is he the only one that is gonna step forward?
Congress wants to know about how a baseball player is abusing his body more than they do how the Bunnypants administration is lying to the Republic of America.
Condi Rice didn't miss a beat when she took Colin's dishonored chair. Her glib buck-toothed face has power and greed written all over it and I think she'll lie to anyone if gain will come her way.
Powell said he spent four days and three nights going over all the intelligence that was presented to the U.N. with the Central Intelligence Agency. Meanwhile, Don Rumsfeld was throwing around phrases like "old Europe" vs. "New Europe" and other such horseshit when he should have been next to Powell making sure all the shit they were presenting to world was accurate. This wasn't like a 10th grade goof-off book report.
Powell recently was interviewed by a German magazine whilst divulging these already known facts and that he and Bush "remained as friends". That may be so, but my question would be where in the hell were the guys (scientists, engineers, etc.) that disassociated themselves from the intel that they knew was wrong? They were hurriedly scooted out the back door. I remember writing an article around that time about the thickness of the suspect rods that were supposedly being used as uranium storage rods. All the scientists that weren't patsies said those were not designed for that use. Did Powell just say, ok, you're right, they ARE plutonium transport tubes.
Powell is a smart man, ten times smarter than Bunnypants. I guess when you get that close to the highest power on this planet, which is Bunnypants (makes me shudder), that your own judgment might be clouded by all the "smartest" guys in the CIA. How could it not? Imagine walking into a room full of top brass and scientists and engineers of the highest caliber in the land, and they lay all this data on tables, screening rooms and ultra-high security conference rooms and you have to suck it up in four days. Whoa. What a brain-fry.
I used to like Powell before he jumped aboard Bunnypants Ship Number One, then all his credibility for me went out the window. I still think he's an honorable man, but I don't think he is fit to lead our country in any capacity. He showed his colors and by association he's as guilty as the rest of the lot of the regime of 2000AD.
Powell was quoted in the magazine as saying " I suppose we sometimes were too loud, too direct, too blustery...". Being blustery with erroneous data has caused the biggest quagmire many generations have seen or even have come to see. Three troops yesterday were lost, my god, this insurgency could easily project into the next few decades. All because of a bunch of gung-ho fucks that wanted to avenge the invader, yet Saddam was not the invader and they have lost trail of Osama bin Laden. More bad intel, guys. Go kill the right man, and clean up the mess that you are making while trying to out do what your Daddy did, Bunnyboy..

Re: Banksy
Marty,
Help!
I think I saw on your page a photo of the Banksy fake in the museum.
But on the one I saw, the peace symbol and slogan were airbrushed out.
I'm certain I would have noticed them if they had been there, and now I go looking in Google for the image, and it has been SCRUBBED.
If you have an archived image, can you check?

Hi Paul -

The Wall Street Poet
Limericks
Here's a half-dozen new limericks that sum up some worries now facing markets and the economy generally.
I.
A Fed Chair once happily boasted
"There is no inflation--its toasted"
Then oil went wild
The markets got riled
And low rates were suddenly ghosted.
II.
"Reform" is the word often used
When the poor and the old get abused
A faux panic's created
To "reform" it is mated
Then entitlements can be refused.
III.
I never thought stocks were just wagers
Another crap shoot for big splurgers
No one made a mention
I could lose my pension
And end at Big Mac flipping burgers.
IV.
My medical tab keeps on soaring
It's at levels that brook no ignoring
My boss don't defray it
So I gotta pay it
And my budget is taking a goring.
V.
We thought his old ways he was mending
That Sam would stop deficit spending
But cutbacks ain't easy
They make voters queasy
Now all good intentions he's bending.
VI.
This year all the experts purvey
The view M&A's the right play
Overpay that's immense?
Forget common sense
Just cash out and be on your way.

BBC Rejects Complaints
'Jerry Springer -- The Opera'
The BBC has rejected complaints from a record 55,000 viewers about its decision to screen the profanity-laden musical "Jerry Springer -- The Opera."
The Governors' Program Complaints Committee (GPCC), the BBC body that investigates complaints, ruled Wednesday that January's broadcast, which featured more than 3,000 swear words and showed Jesus wearing diapers, did not breach guidelines.
"In all the circumstances, the outstanding artistic significance of the program outweighed the offence which it caused to some viewers and so the broadcasting of the program was justified," the GPCC said.
The BBC said it had taken measures to reduce any offence by screening the show late at night and giving clear warnings.

Court TV averages 868,000 viewers each night and has grown steadily since its average of 171,000 in 1999, when Schleiff took over. Its most popular series are "Forensic Files," a nonfiction version of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," and "Dominick Dunne's Power, Privilege and Justice," about crime among the wealthy.
Time Warner Inc. owns half of Court TV and Liberty Media Corp. owns the other half.

Blind Not Left in the Dark
'Ray'
On about 2,000 copies of the "Ray" DVD, a narrator's deep voice is heard as the movie opens. "A brilliant sun shines through brightly colored bottles as they dangle from a tree's leafless branches," the voice says. " A white sheet on a clothesline flaps across our view revealing a short-haired African-American woman pinning up laundry. She stares defiantly at us."
This is descriptive video, or DVS, and it has revolutionized the way the visually impaired enjoy movies.
There are about 170 theaters in North America outfitted for DVS, says Mary Watkins, the outreach director for the Media Access Group, a nonprofit organization that is a joint effort of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and WGBH, Boston's public broadcast station.
Currently, there are only a few TV programs described. ABC offers description for the new "Blind Justice," a drama about a blind police detective, and CBS does "CSI," "Jag" and several children's programs. Fox makes description available for "The Simpsons," which Watkins says "is quite an interesting experience."

Back on Track
'Sweet Charity'
It's back - and so is its star, Christina Applegate. The problem-plagued revival of "Sweet Charity," which last week canceled its Broadway engagement after Applegate broke her foot and the show received tepid out-of-town reviews, will open May 4 in New York, two weeks later than originally planned, producer Barry Weissler said Tuesday.
"Christina came to me and made the most deeply felt emotional plea," Weissler said in a telephone interview. "She has given up all her movies for the year, plus her home and husband are on the West Coast. This is what she has wanted since she was a little girl and I just couldn't take it away from her."
Weissler said he has received assurances from Applegate's doctors that she will be able to perform in the musical, which is a dance-heavy show.

Leaking Pipeline In Alaska
Oil Spill
Environmental workers in Alaska were racing to clean up 111,300 gallons (423,000 liters) of oily water that spilled from a leaky oil pipeline, officials told AFP.
The leak of oil-contaminated water was discovered Saturday in an oilfield operated by ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc in Kuparuk, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation said.
The leaky pipeline carries produced water from a separating plant back to the Kuparuk production facility where it is injected back into the ground to help maintain pressure in the oil field to allow better oil yields.
The largest water spill in the area involved nearly 758,000 gallons (2.87 million liters) of diluted seawater leaked in March 1997, according to a 2003 report by the National Research Council, making the latest spill the third worst.
The largest spill of crude oil was nearly 39,000 gallons (147,000 liters) in July 1989.

Renoir Stolen From Paris Auction House
'Tete de Fillette'
A painting by the French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, valued at about 200,000 euros (260,000 dollars), has been stolen from the famous auction house Tajan in Paris, police said.
The theft of the artwork, entitled "Tete de fillette" (Head of a little girl), happened while it was displayed in a room of the auction house and not by breaking and entering the premises as police first reported.
The painting, which belongs to a lawyer, was supposed to be sold on Thursday in Paris.

Quits Acting
Chad McQueen
Chad McQueen tried balancing his father Steve's two passions, racing and acting. Two years ago, the need for speed won out.
"I didn't find acting fun anymore," said McQueen, whose films include "The Karate Kid." "So I decided to give racing a total commitment, and I'm giving everything I have to be successful in the Grand-Am series. I'm training very hard, which at my age is very important. I take this as my last opportunity, and I'm very lucky to have it.
Chad McQueen, 44, will drive a Ford-powered Crawford sports car in this weekend's Grand American 400-kilometer race at California Speedway. He will share the ride with Dominic Cicero II, an American who has been racing Formula Renaults in Europe.

Suspends Fraternity Over Adult Film
CSU Chico
California State University in Chico suspended a fraternity after its members admitted they participated in an adult film at their off-campus residence.
The national chapter of Phi Kappa Tau also suspended the school chapter and is investigating the taping several months ago by Shane's World, an adult film producer known for using college students in its videos.
University President Paul Zingg described himself as "disgusted" by the fraternity's behavior. He promised further punishment and said it matters little that making a pornographic film isn't illegal.
Shane's World made the film in the Phi Kappa Tau House's private off-campus residence, though university officials said they were told the students neither identified their campus nor their fraternity. Wills said the fraternity was not paid for the film.
