New feature here: Bush Junta's Lie of the Day.

[mumon]

Friends, I think it's time we start catologing them- all of 'em, from the mighty to the puny.

My idea here is to present a lie taken from the administration, and highlight as the "lie of the day." Anyone can then store these, so that when it comes to "honest" preseidents, we can say "This administration has lied every day, and we've documented this since the Niger story broke."

Today's choice:

White House E-Mail System Becomes Less User-Friendly


Under a system deployed on the White House Web site for the first time last week, those who want to send a message to President Bush must now navigate as many as nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that starts by asking whether the message sender supports White House policy or differs with it...The White House says the new e-mail system, at www.whitehouse .gov/webmail, is an effort to be more responsive to the public and offer the administration "real time" access to citizen comments....Completing a message to the president also requires choosing a subject from the provided list, then entering a full name, organization, address and e-mail address.

...Jimmy Orr, a White House spokesman, described the system as an "enhancement" intended to improve communications....It is still possible to send a traditional e-mail message, he said, but the sender will receive the automated reply and there is no guarantee it will be read or responded...



Takes your breath away, doesn't it? Isn't that, "responsive" - not guaranteeing that a traditionally sent e-mail message will be responded to? Or an "enhancement" that is cumbersome, useless, and favors broadband users over dial-up rabble?

[Philosophy]

1. Automatic deletion of critical messages easily circumvented

Just lie and say the message supports the policy for all measages, critical or not. Of course doing that will probably get you jailed in Guantanamo as a terrorist by a provision in an upcoming enhancement to the Patriot Act. :evilfrown:

3. Typical of the way that asshole stole the election...

I have nothing but contempt for those jerks who are occupying the White House.

2. Not to mention...

...registering you as a dissident with the Dept. of Homeland Security...
