"Bush's lame response to North Korea has made it quite clear that all he wants is to invade Iraq again. North Korea may be more dangerous in fact, but there's no oil there, and it simply doesn't figure in the grand eschatological design of Bush's theocratic circle. Pyongyang isn't even in the Bible!"

"Word comes that brother Cat Stevens refuses to lend his support to our virtuous jihad. May this turncoat's Peace Train be laden with explosives and rammed into the Mountain of Mohammed, peace be upon him. "
"'When it comes to learning from its mistakes, corporate America has fallen off the rehab wagon more times than Robert Downey, Jr. A quick glance at last week's papers reveals that it's monkey business as usual on Wall Street."
"'People are more aware of the world that they want to live in, and now they have to realize that they can actually create that world and fight for the things that are worth fighting for and not feel apathetic. We are all going to die. There is no point in holding anything back."
"The idea -- if we may use so flattering a term -- was that the Pentagon would monitor the site and the betting, and thus get a jump on terrorist acts to come. After all, as the theory goes (and never mind the whole dot.com fiasco), if people are willing to put money on something, they must have a pretty good idea what they're doing."
"Voters are sick and tired of having their electoral choices severely limited by a ruling class that has done everything in its power to maintain the status quo -- including the latest round of under-the-radar redistricting deals that make it all but impossible to unseat incumbents."
"There's some thing in our psyche, this kind of right or privilege to resolve our conflicts with violence. There's an arrogance to that concept. To actually have to sit down and talk, to listen, to compromise, that's hard work. To go for the gun, that's the cowardly act."

"The music business is run by lawyers and accountants, and they don't really care about the integrity of art."

"Can you believe these guys? After spending billions to make Afghanistan safe for your local neighborhood opium lord, our government continues its ludicrous domestic drug policy of lumping all drugs together. A third grader can tell you that crack is to pot like an Uzi is to a banana. Crack kills, pot giggles."

"Gregory Peck, in what may have been divine justice died comfortably in his sleep, old age finally having caught up with him. His soul, like his formidable legacy, was one of peace, so it is poetic that he left this world in such a manner. But the times he has left behind for his unknown sons and daughters resembles the dystopia of Boys From Brazil more each day."

The Following is a Paid Political Announcement

by Ross Levine

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
I think the recall is a marvelous idea because I want to give back to the state of Caleefornia. When I came to this country, I was just a bricklayer and I didn't know where my next meal was coming from.

INAHUFFINGTON
Oh, Arnold, you knew where it was coming from -- you told Johnny Carson you used to break people's chimneys so you could take their money for fixing them.

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
I wish you wouldn't interrupt me, Arianna, it's not very ladylike.

INAHUFFINGTON
You aren't going to gang-rape me on national television, are you?

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
I wouldn't think of it -- you're definitely not my type. I don't like women who think they know everything.

INAHUFFINGTON
I don't think you like women period. In fact, I should introduce you to my ex-husband.

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
Well you just tell him I have nothing against fags. Now like I was saying, I had to wade across the ocean from Austria to get here. And now I am a millionaire and I want to be the governor so I can show the people of Caleefornia how grateful I am.

PETER THE GREEN
If you want to show them you're grateful, then why don't you start paying your fair share of income tax on all the millions of dollars you have?

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
I pay tax every time I go to the bathroom, what are you talking about? I can't wipe my behind without saving the toilet paper for my accountant.

INAHUFFINGTON
Well then I certainly hope your accountant has workman's compensation.

McTURNBACKTHECLOCK
I'm sure he does -- that's why the state of California is bankrupt. I have friends who are leaving to go live in godforsaken places thousands of miles from Orange County. That's because they remember their fathers' California, when only white people could buy property and illegal immigrants just did their backbreaking menial labor and didn't ask for schools and driver's licenses.

BALDAMONTE
Well, Tom, don't you think it's time you accepted minorities instead of just tolerating them?

McTURNTHECLOCKBACK
I don't even tolerate them.

INAHUFFINGTON
Well we know how you feel about minorities, Cruz. Especially Indians who make million-dollar campaign contributions.

BALDAMONTE
Now, now, Arianna, I told the Indians that they were going to get tough love like everyone else in the state.

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
Tough love? You mean taxes, taxes, taxes. With me they get to keep every penny they make. And I will show the state lawmakers in Sacramento "Conan the Barbarian" over and over and over until they balance the budget and stop workmen's conversation [sic].

INAHUFFINGTON
Oh, Arnold, the people of Caleefornia are getting tired of your lies.

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
You must save all yours for the IRS, Arianna, to not have to pay any taxes.

INAHUFFINGTON
That's another untruth, and besides, if I don't pay my share of taxes it's because the Bush administration --

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
Yes, and speaking of bush, I would sure like to plow my hummer-dinger through that loophole of yours.

INAHUFFINGTON
Sorry, Arnold, but I'm through getting screwed by the Republicans.

McTURNTHECLOCKBACK
And I'm through getting screwed by lawyers and liberals. I'm pro-life, pro-death penalty, pro-non-homosexual marriage and pro-business. And I promise I'm in this race to stay, even if it means we end up with three more years of higher taxes and terrorists coming into the state illegally to pick grapes and work as gardeners.

PETER THE GREEN
Well I believe if the rich paid their fair share of taxes, we'd be able to balance the budget, provide universal health care, clean up the environment, rebuild our infrastructure, pay for mass transit, provide free housing, restore our educational system, convert the entire state to renewable energy, end crime, close our prisons, eliminate poverty and racism, finance free universities and establish a colony on Mars.

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
Peter, if the rich pay that much taxes, they won't be so rich anymore.

PETER THE GREEN
Well, duh, Terminator.

BALDAMONTE
I think what Peter's proposing is a little extreme. When it comes to government, things are not so black and white.

McTURNTHECLOCKBACK
Vote for me and I'll fix that.

BALDAMONTE
That's why I'm totally against this recall.

INAHUFFINGTON
You too, Bruté?

BALDAMONTE
I think it's bad for California and bad for politics. If the recall passes, whoever wins may get recalled next year and then we'd have to go through this all over again. So if you vote for me, I'll work to end the recall so I can be your governor for the next 11 years.

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
Looks like you weren't kidding about tough love, were you, Cruz?

BALDAMONTE
I picked tomatoes when I was a kid, Arnold, I have a right to be governor.

McTURNTHECLOCKBACK
Can we see your green card?

PETER THE GREEN
You can see my Green card. The Green Party is the only alternative to the corrupt two-party system ruining our country and our environment.

INAHUFFINGTON
An Independent is the only one who can stop the Bush administration and prevent Caleefornia from becoming the next Iraq!

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
Oh, Arianna, there you go -- Bush, Bush, Bush. You're in the wrong state. You should be in New Hampshire running for president with all the other spend spend spend spend liberals.

INAHUFFINGTON
Would you vote for me, Arnold, even though I'm a woman?

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
I wouldn't vote for you if you were a hermaphrodite. But I do have a part for you in my next movie. If you need to rehearse, the bathroom is down the hall.

INAHUFFINGTON
You know, Arnold, let me be sincere with you -- the people of Caleefornia don't need an idiotic action-hero, they need intelligent leadership.

SCHWARZENBRAGGER
And let me be sincere with you, Arianna -- you need to get laid.

PETER THE GREEN
You both need to go home and pay more taxes!

McTURNTHECLOCKBACK
We need to win California back from Mexico again!

BALDAMONTE
We need a governor with the experience to know that waste, unfair taxation and control by special interests will always be part of our state government.

SCHWARZENBRAGGER/PETER THE GREEN / INAHUFFINGTON / McTURNTHECLOCKBACK / BALDAMONTE
Vote for me on October 7th!

PAID FOR BY CALIFORNIANS AGAINST THE RECALL

Ross M. Levine is an author, Marcel Proust marathoner and manatee-hugger who feels safer on the edge; i.e., in New York or California. He agrees with the King of Brobdingnag that we're "the most pernicious race of odious vermin to crawl the surface of the Earth." He thinks Americans have too much freedom -- fries, that is.

Where Art Thou?
Memories are short, so we'll make this as clear as we possibly can -- the only reason anyone signed off on Iraq is because they thought that Saddam had nukes. So where the hell are they? Well, we have some ideas and we're glad to share them with Rummy and Co. . . . . MORE
Bush and the Saudis Sittin' in a Tree...
Compassionate conservatism is one thing, Dubya, but aren't you going too far? After all, the Saudis, not Saddam, were responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and blanking out the dirty parts of a probe isn't going to change that. Looks like the Arbusto kid might be going bust . . . MORE
The Spoils of War
Before a bunker buster was launched, the Busheviks had already lined up a few corporations to divvy up the billion-dollar government contracts to rebuild Iraq. But there was no bidding war -- the prizes simply went to fat-cat donors. Does anyone else smell a master plan here? Arianna Huffington does . . . MORE
Directions, Anyone?
Every few years. the Israelis and the Palestinians decide that they've killed each other enough, and sit back down at the table like mature adults. But guess who's coming to dinner? The Bush administration, fresh off of two wars in the Hot Zone, and flaunting a draconian civil liberties record. We smell a three-car pileup on that storied road to peace . . . MORE
Will Joseph McCarthy Rise Again?
What is terrorism? How is it defined? Those same questions were once asked about communism, which was used to justify the imprisonment and execution of innocents almost as recently as half a century ago. But the bigger question is this: in that time, have we learned nothing about justice, freedom and -- especially -- hypocrisy? . . . MORE

"A Policy Poisoned By Money"
You call yourself a journalist? Then we've got a man we'd like you to meet. See, while you've been busy interviewing porn stars on the O'Reilly Factor and kissing corporate ass on Lou Dobbs Moneyline, the BBC's Greg Palast has been writing books about how Katharine Harris stole your election and how Enron unplugged your lights. . . .
