Did you know that Pinocchio is real, and that he, in fact, lives in the White House? Yes, his real name is actually George Bush.
Actually, a study by two nonprofit organizations found that President Bush has a nose much, much longer than that of the fictional version of Pinocchio. Bush’s nose, which grows for every lie he tells, extends across the White House lawns, across Washington DC., across the United States – actually across the world! Just imagine a nose wrapping the globe – that’s Bush’s lying nose!
The study, as reported by wire agencies yesterday, Jan. 23, said Bush was found to have issued 935 false statements about US security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The study concluded that the statements “were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.”
The study found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and his gang of other liars stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaeda or both.
“It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaeda,” according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism, writing an overview of the study. “In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003.”
Named in the study along with Bush were top officials of the administration during the period studied: Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.
Thank God, there will be a new US President this November. Enough of George Pinocchio!
I’ve come across an interesting article from Yahoo.com’s Yahoo Green section. With the current escalating trend of the price of oil and gasoline (including their bi-products), the cost of owning a hybrid car is slowly making sense. People before think that gas cars are cheaper than hybrid (gas/electric) cars, and that hybrid will not pay [...]

I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80’s singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn’t care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the “girls” so [...]
A cousin recently introduced me to www.surfthechannel.com , and I am loving watching The Office season 4 through it. I just love that show, hilarious! I’ve been watching it on TV but it’s on season 3 replay. I really like to know how Ryan the temp is having his revenge on Michael. Don’t get me [...]
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th [...]
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
Every mall will hand out “special deals” to hook [...]
