TRUFFULAUT #5
2 FEBRUARY 2004
More general topics may be covered
in the near future. Politics are
crucial but only a part of our mysterious world, and much needs to
be done to build peace and ensure survival.
FOREIGN POLICY
"AMERICA, IRAQ, AND PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP"
A caller to C-SPAN say that if Edward Kennedy
was the best the
Democrats could do, then the party was in bad shape. The caller was
mistaken -- Senator Kennedy is one of the ablest people ever to
dwell in the Senate, he is an American historical figure the likes of
which we will not see repeated. He made a powerful speech abt our
unholy war, and here are two links to the "Speech Delivered by
Senator Edward M. Kennedy To the Center for American Progress At
The Mayflower Hotel, Washington, D.C."

search for “AMERICA, IRAQ, AND
PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP")

RUSSIA
PLANS NUCLEAR ARMS GAMES
"President Vladimir Putin
is expected to oversee the maneuvers,
which are intended to demonstrate the nation's renewed military
might, a business newspaper reports." But the man from Crawford
(or Midland or Connecticut or wherever) looked into the Russian’s
soul, so everything is hunky-dory.

DOMESTIC POLICY
AN
ASSAULT ON HOUSING VOUCHERS
Skip the Italian part (unless you want to read the Italian part) to see
the editorial originally printed in the New York Times. "One candidate
for the chopping block is Section 8, the federal rent-subsidy program
whose main purpose is preventing low-income families from
becoming homeless."

PARANOIA STRIKES DEEP
Multistate Anti-TeRrorism Information EXchange (MATRIX)
This is not a hoax. Reality has for many moons out-distanced
our nightmares.

UNFLATTERING VIEWS OF THE USURPER
BUSH PREFERS OUR PRETTY BOY TO HIS PRETTY BOY
"When a Texas Republican says you've got a pretty face, then I
guess there is just no way around it."

NOT
SO GAY TIMES
"You might think with
all these horrifying, amazing, and stunning
goings on in the world that we would be more concerned with really
important issues. But nay, our president, in his State of the Union
address, deemed athletes’ steroid drug use and non-heterosexual
marriages two of his top priorities."
