Bush: ‘We’ve Never Been Stay The Course’
video and comment
BUSH: We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq. [8/4/05]
SNOW: The second thing you do is you stay the course. [7/10/06]
SNOW: But on the other hand, you also cannot be a President in a wartime and not realize that you’ve got to stay the course. [8/17/06]
BUSH: We will stay the course. [8/30/06]
BUSH: We will stay the course until the job is done, Steve. And the temptation is to try to get the President or somebody to put a timetable on the definition of getting the job done. We’re just going to stay the course. [12/15/03]
BUSH: And my message today to those in Iraq is: We’ll stay the course. [4/13/04]
SNOW: People are going to want more of it, and that’s why the President is determined to stay the course. April. [8/16/06]
BUSH: And that’s why we’re going to stay the course in Iraq. And that’s why when we say something in Iraq, we’re going to do it. [4/16/04]
BUSH: And so we’ve got tough action in Iraq. But we will stay the course. [4/5/04]

Arnold does his part to keep Americans sick and broke.
In three parts:
1. Terminator kills Californians’ bid for universal health care with SB 840 veto, appears unaware of the difference between socialized medicine and single-payer insurance.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
September 5, 2006I commend Sen. Sheila Kuehl’s commitment and dedication to providing health care coverage for all Californians, but I must veto Senate Bill 840 because I cannot support a government-run health care system.
Socialized medicine is not the solution to our state’s health care problems.

2. Aetna CEO rakes in annual compensation > $30 million. Now that’s free-market efficiency!

3. According to Census Bureau stats released today, the number of uninsured as well as those slipping into poverty continues to rise.
Today, the Census Bureau announced its income, poverty and health insurance data for 2005. This data shows a serious erosion of income and health care security for working Americans. In this analysis, income and health insurance information from 2005 is compared to that from 2000 - the year before the last recession - to assess changes over the last five years.
The results are bleak: The number of uninsured Americans increased significantly, climbing to 46.6 million in 2005, up 6.8 million since 2000. Compared to 2000, median income is 2.7 percent lower in real terms, and 5.4 million more are living in poverty.

Utilities Pay Scientist Ally on Warming
Coal-burning utilities are contributing money to one of the few
remaining climate scientists openly critical of the broad consensus
that fossil fuel emissions are intensifying global warming. The
critic, Patrick J. Michaels, is a professor of environmental sciences
at the University of Virginia, a senior fellow at the libertarian
Cato Institute and Virginia’s state climatologist.

Retired CIA analyst Ray McGovern will discuss torture and prisoner abuse.
In 2003, Ray McGovern founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS). McGovern on the Bush Commission : “This Commission is doing what our German forbearers in the 1930s did NOT do. They sat around, blamed their rulers, said ‘maybe everything’s going to be all right.’” On March 3rd, 2006, McGovern marched into Congress with 15 others wearing Guantánamo Bay orange jumpsuits and declared: “As a matter of conscience, I am returning the Intelligence Commendation Award medallion given me during my 27-year career in the CIA. The issue is torture, which inhabits the same category as rape and slavery - intrinsically evil. I do not wish to be associated, however remotely, with an agency engaged in torture.” McGovern did daily briefings for George H.W. Bush and is now exposing how George W. Bush used false “intelligence” to justify the war in Iraq. In addition to VIPS, he is also part of the Christian Community.
The moderator for the evening will be Jed Stone, past president of the Illinois Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and anti-death penalty activist.
