Bush Changes Tune on National Anthem...

[Virginia Dare]

Wow, who would have thunk it? More blatant bullshit hypocrisy from the Bush Administration:


President Bush declared last week that the national anthem should be sung in English not Spanish, but he evidently never told his own government or campaign organizations.

The State Department posts four Spanish versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" on its Web site, and accounts from the 2000 election suggest that the song was at times performed in Spanish at Bush campaign events. Critics even turned up one reference to Bush himself singing the anthem in Spanish on the trail, but there was no confirmation.

1. So he flip-flopped on this?

That ought to go over well with whatever remains of his base.

I got a nasty email about the May 1 boycott, telling us we should wear red or blue and go shopping to counter the boycott. The email referred to terrorists and other enemies of the US. Yeah, it actually referred to immigrants as enemies.

4. Go Shopping? WTF?

who was the e-mail from, Wal-Mart?

2. I must look up 'Capitol Steps.' They must be on to this.

It has to be really funny.

at LEAST once a day to maintain some semblance of emotional stability.
