This was my last short column that I angrily wrote before the summer started. I just read it again and, it still applies. I'm still looking for the truth. I was damn spittin' mad when I wrote this thing. I refer to this time as my "Palast-Pitt" phase, haha.
My column is halfway down the page that this is linked to. -Bill
THE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH HAS BEEN LED ASTRAY
The biggest issue Americans face today is truth.
This semester, UA students received their largest tuition increase ever. Bush administration tax cuts have forced Arizona to tax its own students. Politicians from top to bottom have lied about it. Yet we are to believe that even more tax relief for irresponsible greed-mongers will bring us back to fiscal stability.
Rather than opening up investigations into 9/11 and declassifying documents pertaining to the Iran-Contra scandal, our president and vice president stood in front of Congress and lied to save their own asses.
Instead, the chickenshit media has chosen to focus on irrelevant topics, such as the Dixie Chicks or Sean Penn.
