"Get rid of George W. Bush," he said, adding that Bush is "dangerous" and has a "religious agenda." By Monday, March 1, Stern was circumspect. "There's a real good argument to be made that I stopped backing Bush and that's when I got kicked off Clear Channel," he said.
why did Clear Channel recently hire Michael Savage at Houston 's KPRC? Isn't Mr. Hogan aware that Savage was fired from MSNBC for referring to a caller as a "sodomite" who should "get AIDS and die"? And, if vulgarity truly is the issue, what was Clear Channel's complaint against disc jockey Charles Goyette?

"[With] one amendment the religious right could wipe out access to birth control, abortion, and even non-procreative sex (as Senator Santorum so eagerly wants to do)," the anonymous lawyer wrote. "This debate isn't only about federalism, it's about the reversal of two hundred years of liberal democracy that respects individuals." [AndrewSullivan.com] Or, as Sullivan put it, "Memo to straights: you're next."

Of course, now that polls show that Kerry/Edwards ticket would beat Bush/Cheney by a margin of 50 percent to 42 percent (and a growing number of Republicans and independents say that won't back Bush in 2004) perhaps our long national nightmare is finally coming to an end. Unless, of course, Bush really does "hit a trifecta" and Osama "October Surprise" bin Laden is caught and paraded around the Republican National Convention; more voter roll shenanigans and Diebold glitches deliver another GOP "victory;" and a second terrorist attack leads, as Gen. Tommy Franks warned, to the suspension of the Constitution.

Personally, I believe that the US removed Mr. Aristide forcibly, as he and his friends report. I think that it was a coup and that the rationale comes from the hard right beliefs of Roger Noriega and Otto Reich. They think that Aristide, along with Chavez of Venezuela and others in Central and South America, are leaning towards Cuba and Fidel Castro. Reich would like to rid Latin America and the Caribbean of all Left leaning regimes.

Are we supposed to think George Bush is basically a great President because, at least to our knowledge, he sleeps with his wife? Is this what it comes down to in terms of making a great President?
