GeorgeWBush.com, the official web site of the President's re-election campaign, is using Hitler to attach Kerry. This is an outrage. In the end, however, I think that this ad hurts Bush more than Kerry, and so I encourage you to go watch it. Mean-spirited, partisan crap that uses images of Hitler, which were taken from the MoveOn.org web site. ("MoveOn invited people to make ads and submit them to its Web site. Some idiot spliced images of Bush together with images of Adolf Hitler, evidently trying to make Bush look like a warmonger. His submissions, which arrived with 1,500 others—too many to be screened quickly—were posted on the contest Web site. As soon as MoveOn.org realized what was in the ad, they removed and denounced it.

This ad does not help America. It makes Bush, and unfortunately the rest of us by association, look like meanspirited idiots. What do you think Europeans and the rest of the world think when they see Hitler being used in American politics for attack ads?

Dick Says Fuck
Personally, I use the word fuck all the time. That said, I'm not stand-up Dick: the church-going, better-than-thou, Mr. Clean, Vice President. Hypocritical bastard.

Cheney Dismisses Critic With Obscenity Clash With Leahy About Halliburton
By Helen Dewar and Dana Milbank
Washington Post Staff Writers

A brief argument between Vice President Cheney and a senior Democratic senator led Cheney to utter a big-time obscenity on the Senate floor this week.

On Tuesday, Cheney, serving in his role as president of the Senate, appeared in the chamber for a photo session. A chance meeting with Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, became an argument about Cheney's ties to Halliburton Co., an international energy services corporation, and President Bush's judicial nominees. The exchange ended when Cheney offered some crass advice.

"Fuck yourself," said the man who is a heartbeat from the presidency.

Cheney curses senator over Halliburton criticism
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Typically a break from partisan warfare, this year's Senate class photo turned smiles into snarls as Vice President Dick Cheney reportedly used profanity toward one senior Democrat, sources said.

Target's "Deliver the Shiver"

Too Cool For You
BY RIMA SUQI, nymetro.com
How's this for a genius idea — brand new, 5,000 BTU air conditioners for $75. You read that right, a mere $75 to make your apartment meat-locker cold. On June 24th, at noon, Target's "Deliver the Shiver" trucks will pull up in Herald Square (that's Broadway, between 6th Avenue and 34th Street, for the 914-ers). They will stay there until they sell out, or 7 p.m. — whichever comes first. Since this is a Target operation, the air conditioners come with a free "Bull's-eye" pull cart so you can lug your purchase home; and the truck stores take credit cards. I'm predicting mayhem. If you miss the 24th, there will be another opportunity on Saturday, June 26th at the Second Avenue Festival (2nd Avenue and 23rd Street), from 11 a.m.- 6 p.m.

For more info call 800-440-0680.

Feds classify french fries as fresh veggies

South Florida Sun-Sentinel
By Andrew Martin, Washington Bureau

Anyone trying to add more fruits and vegetables to their diet may have just gotten an unlikely assist from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Based on a little-noticed change to obscure federal rules, the USDA defines frozen french fries as "fresh vegetables."

Will RFID Spark the Next Revolution in Retailing?
Knowledge@Wharton

Wal-Mart, Target and other companies see radio-frequency identification (RFID) as a technology that will usher in the next revolution in the world of retailing. How real is this revolution? And what does it mean for retailers and customers? Experts at Wharton and elsewhere say that RFID is a potentially powerful technology that is on the brink of having a big impact. Still, several hurdles remain that make it hard to predict whether its benefits will be immediate or spread out years into the future.

Bono's 2004 Commencement Address at UPenn

For four years you've been buying, trading, and selling, everything you've got in this marketplace of ideas. The intellectual hustle. Your pockets are full, even if your parents' are empty, and now you've got to figure out what to spend it on.

There's a truly great Irish poet his name is Brendan Kennelly, and he has this epic poem called the Book of Judas, and there's a line in that poem that never leaves my mind, it says: "If you want to serve the age, betray it." What does that mean to betray the age?

We love the crackle and the hustle, we love the spirit that gives the finger to fate, the spirit that says there's no hurdle we can't clear and no problem we can't fix. So what's the problem that we want to apply all this energy and intellect to?


Jon Stewart's 2004 Commencement Address at William & Mary

Lets talk about the real world for a moment. We had been discussing it earlier, and I ... I wanted to bring this up to you earlier about the real world, and this is I guess as good a time as any. I don’t really know to put this, so I’ll be blunt. We broke it.

Please don’t be mad. I know we were supposed to bequeath to the next generation a world better than the one we were handed. So, sorry.

I don’t know if you’ve been following the news lately, but it just kinda got away from us. Somewhere between the gold rush of easy internet profits and an arrogant sense of endless empire, we heard kind of a pinging noise, and uh, then the damn thing just died on us. So I apologize.

... And one day I was coming out of my building, and on my stoop, was a man who was crouched over, and he appeared to be in deep thought. And as I got closer to him I realized, he was playing with himself. And that’s when I thought, "You know what, we’re gonna be OK."
