Yesterday's Washington Post has a preview of this week's 9/11 commission's findings. The first of what I'm sure will be several startling revelations is the content of the PDB dated August 6th, 2001. During her televised testimony, Condoleeza Rice stonewalled the commission of the content of that daily briefing document, saying it was "historical in nature" and it contained "no new threeat information" and did not "warn of any coming attacks inside the United States." The commission forced the release of the entire briefing and will reveal in their report that the memo "contained warnings that the FBI had information that the terrorists might be preparing to hijack an aircraft and might be targeting a building in Lower Manhattan." Well, the Bush administration has made history all right. Through their inaction, they may be indirectly responsible for the deaths of over 2000 Americans. Another Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in the making? Apparently, Sony has received the master tapes for Fiona Apple's upcoming album. They're perplexed on how to market it and have been sitting on it for months. Produced by Jon Brion, they sound a lot like the fim scores he's done for Paul Thomas Anderson and Michel Gondry. So far, two tracks have been leaked, "Extraordinary Machine" and "A Better Version of Me." Both are spectacular tracks. Do a search on LimeWire or search through some MP3 blogs, its been posted around the web. Hopefully, Sony gets their shit together and puts this out soon. As spacey as Apple appears, she does make some pretty fucking fantastic music. I'm hitting the San Diego Comic Con this week, so I hope to come back with some goofy photos and at least a few tidbits and pics about upcoming movies. I'll be bringing my laptop and trying out my new Airport Express gadget in the hotel room for some wireless action. For the next few months until the election, I'll post some great, past quotes from the campaign trail for readers to use as ammo against their GOP friends (enemies?). Enjoy... ****** From the AP wire: "The president looks forward to meeting with the commission and answering any questions," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters. He will not testify under oath. ****** "I
am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed managed
to wangle slots in the Army Reserve and National Guard units... Of
the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes
me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created
equal and owe equal allegiance to their country." ****** "We recently found two mobile biological weapons facilities which were
capable of producing biological agents." ****** "The
last thing our nation needs is a sign on the desk in the Oval Office
in the White House that says, "The buck doesn't stop here

Bush. It seems he's the last person left in America who actually
believes his failed
policies will ever work."
