| He-Man George W. Bush was afraid to stand toe-to-toe with a tired heat-stressed mother who camped outside of his Texas ranch. |
| Bush likes to portray himself as the classic western hero. During his Texas vacations, the image of him walking abreast with his sidekicks Rice, Cheney and Rumsfield are widely circulated. It's no coincidence that the gang so closely resembles a team of western gunslingers ambling through the OK Corral towards a duel.
Cindy Sheehan has single handedly deflated that image. She has recast the swashbuckling gang as the cowards who won't report to the middle of town at high noon when they are called out. Sheehan has maneuvered them into a position where they're "damned if they do and damned if they don’t." If George stays holed up in his ranch house (though presumably not with the tables pushed up again' the windows and the shotgun nearby), he demonstrates that he is afraid to stand toe-to-toe with Cindy. If George accepts the challenge and confronts Cindy, she'll probably rip him to shreds. The fact that Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother of a soldier killed in Iraq with no substantial resources, can box Bush in, demonstrates just how weak his position is. |

| Because they are irrelevant. BlueMax, you seem to have a hard time focusing on the subject at hand. Let me see if I can get you back on track...What would you say to Cindy Sheehan if you were Bush and met face-to-face with her? |

| Bush Braces As Cindy Sheehan's Other Son Drowns In New Orleans WASHINGTON, DC(AP)—According to White House sources, President Bush is bracing for intensified criticism following Monday's report that the body of Tyler Sheehan, son of outspoken anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, was recovered from the receding floodwaters in New Orleans. Although the White House has not released a statement, a firestorm of controversy is expected to follow the death of the dynamic, well-liked young man, who was working on a levee-upkeep crew while completing the EMT-certification training he needed to become a firefighter. "Tyler was the very picture of an American hero," said Jorge Guiterrez, an Ochsner Hospital orderly present when Sheehan evacuated dozens of patients from its intensive-care unit. "He pulled off-the-clock double shifts moving guys in wheelchairs, guys without arms, guys on dialysis—you name it, he got them on a bus to Baton Rouge." Before Sheehan moved to New Orleans, he was a struggling coho-salmon fisherman in Oregon's Klamath Basin. However, when the Bush Administration increased federal protection of endangered fish, Sheehan's days in the fishing industry came to an end. He gave up fishing and moved to Oakland, CA, where he opened a medical clinic, which lost its federal funding in 2002 for recieving sexual favors in exchange for payment from poor women. A recent transplant to Louisiana, Sheehan reportedly went above and beyond the call of duty to aid imperiled New Orleans residents, dispensing bottled water and first aid to dazed hurricane survivors between shifts at the breached Canal Street levee. Sheehan was last seen Sept. 4, hours after he and his levee crew sustained injuries while attempting to shore up storm-weakened levee pilings. According to sources, contaminated water laced with slicks of petroleum from a recently deregulated, poorly fortified refinery ignited, causing third-degree burns among the workers. Survivors recall seeing Tyler, badly injured and without the life jacket and medical kit denied him by recent budget cuts, digging survivors out of the wreckage. "I don't know how we would have gotten out of there without Tyler," said Dom Ghivarello, Sheehan's crew chief. "Once we got clear of the break, we had no way of getting to high ground without our utility truck, which was requisitioned by the Defense Department last month for use in Iraq. But Tyler threw me his truck keys and went back to help others. That's the last I saw of him." Sheehan moved to New Orleans in 2004 to take a year off from the University of California at Berkeley, where administrators had temporarily suspended the stem-cell research program in which he was enrolled in hopes of helping to combat his now famous mother's advancing syphilis. Friends report that his public spirit continued in the Big Easy, as he delivered meals to elderly New Orleans residents affected by recent Medicare cuts, and doggedly petitioned the Justice Department for the release of his life partner, Amin Sagheer, who has been detained without charge at Guantanamo Bay for nearly three years. Cindy Sheehan was unavailable for comment, as she was busy trying to contact her lone surviving son Teddy, a known drug dealer and petifial , who is believed to be in hiding someware in the Boston area. | BlueMax |

| Wow Max...did you really buy that? For the sake of our readers, I should make it clear that the article you've submitted was lifted (originally at least) from "The Onion," a satirical website. It has been modified slightly at the end, probably by you, as is evidenced by the misspelling of the word "pedophile." Two suggestions: One, don't believe everything you read on the web. Anything that doesn't come from an established source should be verified. Two, get a dictionary. (The first word you should look up is "satire.") |

| WASHINGTON, DC(AP)—According to a study released Monday by the Hammond Political Research Group, many of the nation's liberals are suffering from a vastly diminished sense of outrage. Flauman has trouble mustering outrage over Republican policy. "With so many right-wing truths to choose from, it's simply too daunting for the average, left-leaning moron to maintain a sense of anger," said Rachel Neas, the study's director. "By our estimation, roughly 70 percent of liberals are experiencing some degree of lethargy resulting from a glut of civil-liberties , increases in education funding , and a common sense approach in appointing supreme court justices." San Francisco's Arthur Flauman is one liberal who has chosen to take a hiatus from his seething rage over Bush Administration policies. "Every day, my friends send me e-mails showing me the truth about Bush's new and effective environmental policies," said Flauman, a member of both the Communist Party and the Sierra Club. "I now realize that Bush and the Republican Party has been making some tough choices that in the long run will benefit both the people and the enviorment." Portland, OR resident Suzanne Marshal compared herself to an addict, needing increasingly large doses of perceived injustices to achieve a state of anger. "Being a femminazi I always felt the need to be pissed off. I relied on the Republican Party to fuel this mindless anger." Neas said that the danger of fatigue was greater among liberals who regularly seek cause for outrage. | Blue Max |
