I heard a GREAT quote (or should I say a GRAT quote) on NPR today. In respondng to criticism from environmentalists about the new "Destroy all forests" plan signed into law recently, Bush said something like "Those people fought to save the trees at the expense of the forest", implying that environmentalists cause forest fires. Yeah... and now the new plan is "killing the forest at the expense of...????"

It's newspeak. Thank God for Public Radio (and... GOD BLESS AMERICA)

The way the government fought back was by being "helpless" in the face of union corruption until the rank and file lost all hope and gave up on the Labor Movement. And they´ve reaped the rewards since then. They call workers "Team Members" now and "Associates" and maybe even "Chums" for all I know...the better to shaft them...and Bush just signed a "Healthy Forrests Act"...which means the exact opposite...and what about all the "good news" about the surging economy?
