“Kick out the Republicans”

The Politnics have released, for your left-wing listening pleasure, “Kick Out the Republicans”, a catchy hook-filled rant againt the Bushies. Randi Rhodes has played it many times on her Air America show.

Listen to the MP3!

In the year two thousand, the Democrats won the election,
but Bush and the Republicans couldn’t take the rejection.
They counted the votes in a web of deception,
the GOP stole the election.

In November of two thousand four
we gotta get out the vote and even the score
when the GOP is leaving I hope that they…
don’t hit their heads on the door!

Bush says he cares about the middle class
but the giant corporations get all the cash
we’ve got a five hundred billion dollar deficit
it’ time to make the Republicans quit!

Kick out_ Kick out_ Kick out_ Kick out_
Kick out_ Kick out the Republicans!

One of the Politnics, John Amato, is a friend who just launched his new blog, The Smoking Pen. Check it out!

Update: John just posted another mp3, “Oxycotin Conservative Republican“, about you-know-who!

BTW, Limbaugh’s hearing loss a while back was directly related to his addiction to painkillers.

Robert Fisk on how Iraq is about to explode

From Democracy Now 

We are joined on the phone by Robert Fisk, reporter for the London Independent. In an article published this week, Fisk predicted that Iraq was on the edge of explosion.

He writes “watching any Western television station in Baghdad these days is like tuning in to Planet Mars. Doesn’t Blair realise that Iraq is about to implode? Doesn’t Bush realise this? The American-appointed “government” controls only parts of Baghdad - and even there its ministers and civil servants are car-bombed and assassinated.

Baquba, Samara, Kut, Mahmoudiya, Hilla, Fallujah, Ramadi, all are outside government authority. Iyad Allawi, the “Prime Minister,” is little more than mayor of Baghdad. “Some journalists,” Blair announces, “almost want there to be a disaster in Iraq.” He doesn’t’ get it. The disaster exists now.”

Karl Rove is losing his touch

The Bushies slimeball attack on Kerry’s war record has misfired.

Republican McCain blasts anti-Kerry ad

Republican Senator John McCain, an ex-prisoner of war who backs President George W. Bush, rose to defend Senator John Kerry as a television advertisement campaign was launched accusing the Democratic presidential nominee of lying about his Vietnam war record.

‘I deplore this kind of politics,’ Mr McCain said. ‘I think the advertisement is dishonest and dishonourable. It reopens all the old wounds of the Vietnam War, which I spent the last 35 years trying to heal.’

Veteran retracts Kerry Criticism

Yesterday, “a key figure in the anti-Kerry campaign, Kerry’s former commanding officer, backed off one of the key contentions” the group’s leaders have made in their new book, Unfit for Command, the Boston Globe reports.

“Lieutenant Commander George Elliott said in an interview that he had made a ‘terrible mistake’ in signing an affidavit that suggests Kerry did not deserve the Silver Star — one of the main allegations in the book. The affidavit was given to the Boston Globe by the anti-Kerry group to justify assertions in their ad and book.”

Here’s a shocker:

The AP notes “a wealthy Texas Republican donor is helping bankroll” the ad

Poor jobs figure a sharp blow to Bush - analysts

Disappointing job creation figures issued Friday were a sharp blow to President Bush, making it much more difficult for him to argue on the campaign trail that the economy has turned the corner, analysts and pollsters said.

El Nino forecast to return to Pacific in 3 months

El Nino, the dreaded weather anomaly which has killed hundreds and spawned disasters across the Asia-Pacific region over the years, could possibly develop by late 2004, the Climate Prediction Center of the U.S. National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration said.

This means drought in some areas, and quite possibly, enormous rain (and flooding) for California and the Southwest, both of which are suffering from longterm serious drought.
