* meanwhile nov03 "Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia came under fire Friday from civil rights activists who demanded an apology from the conservative Democrat after he equated his party's opposition to the nomination of a conservative African-American judge to a lynching." http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/11/14/miller.lynching/

* lol - extrapolate aawaaaay! "The CIA plans for the report, due next month, to project as far as 2008 what Iraq might have achieved in its illegal weapons programs if the United States had not invaded the country last year" http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/iraq/la-na-wmd20aug20,1,101425.story?coll=la-home-headlines

* "Don't make people who hate you hug you," Bill Maher joked on the HBO program "Real Time." "Whatever the Bush administration is blackmailing John McCain with, stop!" http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/21/politics/campaign/21mccain.html?pagewanted=all&position=

* mojo interviews oz whistleblower (aka truth-teller) wilkie "I was looking at government misconduct on an extraordinary scale." and "all our governments – very deliberately, very mischievously and very dishonestly – turned uncertainty into certainty." http://www.motherjones.com/news/qa/2004/08/08_401.wilkieQA.html

* "New York City's Five Boroughs are home to many great things, like the Beastie Boys. Unfortunately it's also home to 1.5 million New Yorkers who don't have enough food to eat. The Food Bank For New York City is working to end hunger by helping to provide 200,000 meals every day to New Yorkers in need. You can help us to help them by going to FoodBankNYC.org" http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/printthread.php?t=22213

* a good interview with norman mailer about the nyc protests "Bush has one of the emptiest faces in America. He looks to have no more depth than spit on a rock. It could be that the most incisive personal crime committed by George Bush is that he probably never said to himself, “I don’t deserve to be president.” You just can’t trust a man who’s never been embarrassed by himself." http://www.newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/rnc/9574/index.html

* more on bolton's speech i mentioned t'other day "Bonkers Bolton made a mind-boggling presentation at the Hudson Institute - Virtually every paragraph in the inflammatory 2,800-word address contained allegations that were either misleading or flat-out wrong." iran is toast. http://www.antiwar.com/orig/prather.php?articleid=3422
