  1. Bush's ties to the Saudi's and the bin Ladens on Cannes' Palme d'Or goes to Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    is well known. Bush sitting and reading to kids even though he knew we were under attack was caught on film.

    Much of what he puts in his film is well known world wide, but was not covered by the conservative US media until very recently.

    Do you think Fox news to report on the bin Laden's funding GW Bush's first failed business venture? Would they report on Poppy Bush's business ties with the Bin Laden's?

    Would they report on how the Bush family got rich on Nazi money and slave labor at Auschwitz?

    Senate bid against a dead man. they also allowed their lobbyist, Ralph Reed to work for the bush selection in 2000. Reed is now head of the Georgia GOP. He was also an Employee of Enron.

  13. Worked in a gun power factory on The Absolute Worst Working Environment? · · Score: 1

    It was sub zero and had to push carts of Nitric Cellulose to the press. NC is safe when wet, dangerous when dry, extremely dangerous when frozen.

    One day in the spring lightning hit the pole outside our mixing house. I never ran so fast in my life.

    ether was used in the mixing process. That was the good part of the job.

    One day the press exploded killing two. the top of the press flew about 50 yards from the building.

    got fired along with all other undesirables, (blacks, long hairs and Mexicans.) They marched us off the property together by an armed guard. No reason given.

    I won't get into my working on the farm or cutting tobacco in the August sun, or slaughtering chickens all day.
