Economic stimulation or bad business ?

 Has the Bush administration come up with some new ways to stimulate the economy while we are all paying attention to the war in Iraq ? Who needs safety regs anyway ?

Is this corporate conspiracy ? compasionate conservatism ? or Left-wing muck raking ? I wonder if this is a hoax because it's F'ing unbelievable.

I think this is just part of the Bush Administration's classic strategy (as outlined by Karl Rove.) They have no problems with using distractions to push their agendas. Hell, this is the group that passed the "Healthy Trees Initiative" which was devoted entirely to rolling back environmental restrictions and allowing logging companies to cut down trees on what had previously been protected land.

What? You mean youse guys want to ask real questions about real policy, when there are so many more important issues out there like: Will Mary-Kate and Ashley wear thongs this summer? and: Will Micheal Jackson's face collapse? and: will the never-ending line of BS and distractions ever stop? Here's the answers: Who cares; I hope so; and- Nope. Time for a domestic regime change, and that's no hoax. PS- the stolen election of 2000 should be top of the list when it comes to hoaxes

Hairy, I'm shocked. How can you suggest that whether or not the Ashley twins wear thongs this summer isn't important? Perhaps you've never heard of Ashley-twin-thongology, which is the science of measuring world economic productivity and global political stability via the thong fashions of the Ashley twins.

Ya know, I considered majoring in Thongology is college but I found out the Prof considered the speedo as part of the thong family (sub-genus speedae) and that put me right off.

just a minor point of clarification: it's The Olsen twins, thong you very much... I know, get a life...I'm trying...Bread and Circus, Dog and Pony, this distraction stuff is pure Baloney (Burma-Shave)

TJ: kinda off on a tangent, aren't we? Yes, I used the Olsen clones as an example of distraction, but that list is a long one...Do the powers-that-say-Nee offer Disney Slaves as one half of Bread and Circus? You betcha...the point is not to get distracted by the distractions, no? Say it with me, now: I will not search for info or parodies on Fluffy Little Disney Chix- I will stay focused on GWB dragging the world into total chaos- I will vote his dumba-- out of office on Nov.2nd...Jam on

I was kind of kidding about the science of thongology, but then I ran across this article: rise in miniskirts indicates economic growth
