Facts Are Just So Complex
From: NewsTrove.com
"Facts Are Just So Complex
The facts of real life can be rather complex, but surely we can expect our president to get facts right and demonstrate some basic understanding of them, right? Apparently not - at least not if President Bush's convention speech is any indication.
Newsday reports:
On Iraq, Bush talked of a 30-member alliance standing shoulder to shoulder with the United States, masking the fact that U.S. troops are pulling by far most of the weight. On Afghanistan and its neighbors, he gave an accounting of captured or killed terrorists, but did not address the replenishment of their ranks -- or the still-missing Osama bin Laden."

Bush Warns of "Hidden Kerry Tax Plan"
From: NewsTrove.com
"COLMAR, PA (AP) -- President Bush on Thursday blamed the Clinton administration for the loss of hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs and warned against backing the Democratic ticket in November because of a "hidden Kerry tax plan."
"In the last six months of the prior administration, more than 200,000 manufacturing jobs were lost. We're turning that around," said Bush, who cited the addition of 107,000 manufacturing jobs this year.
According to the Labor Department, the number of payroll jobs has grown by 1.7 million in the past 12 months, but the economy still has lost 913,000 positions since Bush took office in January 2001."
FIRST PERSON by Alex Magno
From: NewsTrove.com
"We are spending far too much time debating the merits and demerits of congressional pork; far too much time squabbling over how the "Bayanihan Fund" will be used; far too much time arguing over the justness of asking policemen to donate a day's pay to the Treasury; far too much time making media mileage out of piso-piso campaigns purporting to be a solution to the fiscal crisis staring us in the face.
It has to be a flaw in our cultural composition: in the face of immense peril, we trivialize.
I don't think our social psychologists have focused on this propensity keenly enough."
Joker to GMA: Clean up house
From: NewsTrove.com
"President Arroyo was urged yesterday to clean up the mess created by government corporations losing hundreds of billions in taxpayers' money before she insists that Congress impose new taxes.

"She should clean up her own backyard before going to Congress for new taxes," he said."
