1. Yeah I know.
I've been wondering how that stupid ape was going to justify spending all this money on himself.

Oh it's not for me it's for freedums.

8. No, no, no
CNN is "George W. Bush: The Road Ahead".

MSNBC is "Celebration of Freedom".

Fox has nothing so far, oddly enough. Although I'm betting they come up with something snappy.

11. Really?
Here in the EST, it's The Road Ahead.

Well, I saw an NBC News commercial advertising Brian Williams on Fox News the other day, so anything would make sense.

10. Yes, let's celebrate freedom!
Freedom to keep people imprisoned for the rest of their lives with no evidence or trial, freedom to torture people and use any intel gained against the victim, freedom to make up your own faith-based science, freedom to bribe the media to spread propaganda, freedom to plunder the world's riches, freedom from accountability, freedom to rewrite history as you see fit, freedom to lie uncontrollably....
Yes, folks, today george bush is a free man.

13. "Celebration of Freedom"
is like "Healthy Forests" or "No Child Left Behind"


It means the opposite of what they words say.

15. you know, if this "celebration of freedom" [i need oxygen--so much freedom
is taking my breath away]is rubbing us all who live here in this democracy the wrong way ...... imagine what it is doing to the people in other parts of the world. to me this is similar to going to a hospital, or a hospice, where people are dying, setting up some tent in front of it or right outside of it, and start a "celebration of health and life"! I really see it as a provocation and a sort of rubbing of salt in the wounds of so many.
