"Bush is a financial terrorist" - Cleveland Plain Dealer article.

From the article: Blowing the Whistle

"The Bush administration is a bunch of financial terrorists," Drost says. "The Bushies could care if they negatively affect lives of the middle class. It almost seems like by the time they finish in 2008, there will be an elite class and a minimum-wage class. I can think of no other phrase but financial terrorism as his cronies get closer to billionaire status at the expense of the middle class. Don't even get me going about the tax breaks."

The story is great, and its ever greater to see a right wing rag like the PD print such a scathing story.

1. Great article

We need a lot more people like him in this country.

quote from article

"One of the components of fascism is intimidation," Drost says. "The Dixie Chicks speak out, and they are pilloried. Tim Robbins is uninvited by the Baseball Hall of Fame on the anniversary of Bull Durham because of his beliefs. We can now jail people without charges and keep them in lockups. Obviously the Bush administration is trying to intimidate anybody who speaks out against them. It is almost like a reincarnation of the Brownshirts."

3. here's a funny quote:

"I think it would have been good for the world if Funny Cide pulled off the Trifecta: It would show us once and for all that men with no balls are capable of being great athletes. We already know they make great politicians."
