RICHARD CLARK INC.
Richard Clark will be making a lot of money off of his book, thanks to a CBS info-mercial, but now is not the time for Dick to rest on his laurels. Now is the time to invest in the future. Invest in Richard Clark Inc. A few possible ventures.
PROFESSOR OF REVISIONIST HISTORY, HARVARD. Clark could easily set up his own endowment fund to support the course of study. Can you think of someone better, more skilled at revising history? Guest speakers could include Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Mel Gibson’s father. First semester course; The American Revolution-How The Founding Fathers Screwed Up.
THE APOLOGY HOTLINE.
Clark: “Hello, Dick Clark’s Apology Hotline…How can we say we’re sorry?
Caller: “Mr. Clark, I need your help. I was watching my neighbors dog while they’re on vacation, and it ran out into the road and got hit by a car.
Clark: Don’t worry. I call you’re neighbor and apologize on behalf of Ford, for making the vehicle that killed their little dog.
Caller: Actually, I think it was a Chevrolet.
Clark: Who’s the expert here? Besides, I get the impression that the people who make these cars don’t even know what a dog is. Now two years ago I sent a memo to the highway department about erecting fences along every road and………(blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…)
TV “EXPERT” ANALYST: No, not on terrorism, on ESPN. I’d love to see this guy at a football game
Clark: Well, it appears that the Cowboys are not focused on winning. Now when Chan Gailey was the head coach, winning was the Cowboy’s number one priority.
VIAGRA SPOKESMAN: Does he not seem a little stiff to you?
Well, maybe he can just write another book. “Dick Clark’s American Grandstand”

I am just curious. Why is it that people feel they need to classify themselves as a Liberal or a Conservative, Left or Right? I say that if you just believe everything that one “side” or party or canadate (for that matter any tv or news organization) says then you most likely are not paying enough attention to the issues. I don’t like it when people say, “I think we should just trust our government and back them 100%”. There are obviously flaws in the system. People that join parties or vote on one or two issues also bother me, they arn’t looking at the whole picture. I need to say that I was supported Bush when he said we needed to go into Iraq because Saddam had those WMDs. But now that we went and it turns out that he didn’t have them he just possibly had the ability to make components of the weapons. It also turns out that Bush’s administration may have known that the intel was faulty. And now with this new memo from the 9/11 commission that Bush got on his 5th day in office. For me there is just too much tricky stuff going on for me to support this administration any more. We need to focus on our country as well as helping others. I heard that Iraq already has a McDonald’s. Why does Iraq need a McDonald’s? We are gonna turn this whole world into the same place everywhere you go. Next thing you know there will be a Wallmart or a Costco over there. I’m not against big business I shop at them all the time. I just don’t like things like Wallmart closing a store to stop the workers from organizing a union. Things like that get me angry. What ever happened to just plain honesty and integrity?

one more thing most of the “conservative” people that I have ever met (with the exception of one, who is not really a conservative he supports the war in Iraq full heartedly) can only back up their beliefs with one short frase, “just because”. These are the bulk of the Bush supporters. They don’t know the whole story. They only listen to one side of the news and buy every word that any Republican says. I am not saying they are stupid just uninformed. It’s not always their falt either. When you have shows like the O’reilly Factor that are entertaining and flashy it just doesn’t compare to the rest of the news out there. And when you are lead by a man who will not read a newspaper to find out the news, what can you expect. Bush lets his advisors tell him what is going on and no one else.

Eric;
The placement of a McDonald’s franchise surely isn’t a Bush administration decision, although one could argue that a McDonald’s is there, in part, because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. It is placed there because it will make money. If the Iraqi people didn’t want a McDonald’s, it wouldn’t be there. The business will fail if thye do not want it.
Unionization is a big issue for Republicans and corporations. The Republican party and even many Democrats support anti-unionization laws in place today. They are free to have their anti-union views, just as others are free to have their pro-union views.
We must be careful when making stereotypes, especially about supporters of a political ideology. To be sure, there are a wide spectrum of supporters in the Republican party. What survey has been conducted as to the intelligence of supporters of the Republican party?

I would simply like to point out that this here “liberal” was chosen by Bush as a cabinet member. In fact, he also worked for Reagan and papa Bush, meaning he’s spent most of his time in the “conservative” camp. The problem is, he makes a much more coherent arguement than Bush on this issue and I just can’t tell if Clark’s right or if Bush is too stupid to come up with anything better than personal attacks…
