A tribute to Condoleeza Rice and George W. Bush who, despite voluminious evidence to the contrary, said, "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile," adding that "even in retrospect" there was "nothing" to suggest that" and "I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees," respectively.

PRACTICED AT THE ART OF DECEPTION: Are These People Liars?

The California Health Association is running an ad on television with two obvious goals: Convince the public that they’re better off if nurses have to administer to more patients than fewer and to promote Arnold. As one of his largest donors, even though he won’t take “special interest” money, the CHA represents hospitals and health care organizations not nurses. Their ad is clearly deceptive in that it purports to represent the nurses and their views on staffing levels. By “executive order,” Arnold has decided that his judgment about staffing levels is superior to that of the legislature. What is he, an “Activist Gropinator?” As I understand our system of government, the legislature makes the laws and the executive branch carries them out.

It seems that as a group, the right-wing is incapable of approaching any issue without some sort of misrepresentation. One has to wonder if the general public will ever tire of these techniques?
