--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- THE MAKING OF GEORGE BUSH, MACHO MAN Zachary Roth, AlterNetWhatever its outcome, Election 2004 has already been cast in the media as a battle between the strong-but-stubborn George Bush and a nuanced-but-indecisive John Kerry. http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=18597 I AGREE WITH THIS great, macho man image BUSH is developing lately. BUSH JR's vibe has become a good one in PR/image terms, warm, simple, down home, everyman, pleasant, likeable though he's still a bit dumb and eyes too close together. As JON STEWART said last nite after showing film of JFKERRY explaining another inconsistency and looking like a sweating, lying, insecure dweeb .."Bush lying is better than KERRY TELLING THE TRUTH!" IF I VOTED, (I don't as they keep hitting me with JURY duty if I do, and they don't let me OUT OF IT for being old and not driving, and no money for bus, they threaten me with dire stuff!...) If it weren't for the no vote thing, I'd almost vote for him. NAH. I wouldn't. Cuz I have to believe that a peacenik dweeb is better than a fascist good ole boy cutie man. IT MAY be that they don't have to tinker with voting machines to get BUSH back in NOV. Kerry is as unpalateable as soybeans. And I'm sure, just as good for one. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ HIRED GUNS WITH WAR CRIMES PAST Louis Nevaer, Pacific News Service Due to the Coalition Provisional Authority's 'outsourcing' of privatized security services, South African ex-hit men and Serbian mercenaries find gainful employment in Iraq. http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=18588 BATTLE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS Juan Cole, tomdispatch.com The problem of war images from Iraq alienating Iraqis and Arabs has dogged the Bush administration from the start of the war. Now, the administration is losing the battle of images with the American public, as well. http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=18574 GROWING JOBS Dara Colwell, AlterNet Hemp, a valuable crop that can be used in everything from paper to frozen waffles, remains outlawed and stigmatized due to its psychoactive cousin, marijuana.
