Barbara Bush Says Joe Lieberman Is W's Real Father
Houston, Texas - Confronted with official documentation and leaked records that had previously been sealed, a tearful Barbara Bush admitted that the real father of the president is not George Herbert Walker Bush but Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut. This news has stunned the nation and has also deeply shocked the president who was not aware that Lieberman was his biological father until today's surprise announcement.Realizing the controversial nature of this disclosure, Barbara Bush said that she hoped people would understand and not judge her too harshly for this one mistake. Said the former first lady, "Joe and I were young and in love. One night our passion just got the better of us. I never told anyone until today. Only Joe and I knew and we swore we would keep it a secret forever."There was no comment from the senator although a check of official records by Assimilated Press turned up a doctored birth certificate for Lieberman that showed that the year of his birth had been changed from 1924 to 1942, which would make him old enough to be the President's father. Assimilated Press also uncovered medical records for Lieberman that detailed numerous face-lifts and botox injections.Washington insiders and political consultants agreed that this revelation from the matriarch of the Bush family explained Senator Lieberman's unwavering support for Bush since the president took office six years ago. Said Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute, "No Democrat except a fool or a father would have supported Bush's policies over the last six years and Lieberman is no fool."

The Myth about Globalization
Globalization sounds good at first. Its suppose to be good for the consumer. We all enjoy the lower prices at Walmart. We say we do care if child labor and or prison labor is being exploited. The only problem is Americans are the only ones buying in. The big corporations love the idea because China represents one fifth of the worlds future consumers, China and India will be one third of the planets consumers. If you think these are American companies and or patriotic, think again. They fly a flag and it looks like $100 bill. Loral/GM Huges sold rocket secrets to China and didn't have the United States governments blessing. However, no one was imprisoned and or fined. At the moment America is the number one consumer of the worlds goods and services. Most of us do not know who the number two nation in consumption is. If you said Japan your right. However, by 2025 China will surpass us. Their growth rates has to be maintained to prevent civil unrest. If not they might have an uprising and redistribute the wealth. Keep in mind that those high level communist party officials were never real communist. In fact many of the Hong Kong factories belonged to them. No wonder nothing changed when the British returned Hong Kong back to China at the lease end. Mexico too was all for globalization/NAFTA, that is until it saw some of them macinadoras moving to China. Then too remember that NAFTA also promised less illegal immigration. Back to China now. They have a top down economy and are interested in only one metric. Jobs is their concern and they have in fact propped up an inefficient steel industry. By their gov't supporting this industry they will force the more efficient steel producers to close. This will cost the consumer more and therefore in not good for free trade. steel today and something else tomorrow. The question is what are we going to do after all the jobs have been shipped overseas ? Will this corporate greed subjugate us to a position of less than the #1 superpower ?
One only needs to see what Japan has done to their people in order to protect their cattle/farm industry. The Japanese like going on vacation just so they can eat steak three meals a day. If you ever go to Disney, The Grand Canyon, and other popular American vacation destinations you notice that the Japanese travel agents have booked lodging years in advance. I've been twice to each and observed this first hand, I might have thought that I was visiting Japan.

family values and comp time
This is the label which they used to screw workers out of their overtime. Prior the courts had come down with some very expensive decisions. These big companies had to open their wallets and pay up. Next they went and lobbied/bribed their/our/your representatives. Sure they believe in family values and therefore want you to spend more time with your family. It had nothing to do with them wanting to not hire the next marginal worker. This next marginal worker has greater cost associated with them, so it has always been cheaper to work overtime. This alone saves them money, paid time off, vacation, insurance, and whatever other benefits an employee gets, even if they have to pay overtime wages. But speaking about cheap skin flints, misers, and pathetic penny pinchers, this takes the cake. The courts and juries, sane and reasonable people as you and I, saw right through their BS.

I read it in the Enquirer
The word on the street is that Laura is on to GW and Condy. Sources in the inner circle have first hand knowledge of oval office events. Rumor also has it that GW is getting back for the first term trist Laura had with Collen. In any event the American public would like them to fess up and quit beating around the bush.
