Jon Stewart reports on another important decision by the president. Stewart takes his first shots at Tony Snow as Bush’s new Press Secretary.
If this first segment is any indication then Mr. Snow may soon become a favorite subject for Daily Show viewers.
Listen to today’s first 5 mins of Democracy NOW! They play Bush commenting on Tony Snow. Bush is obviously joking, and no one is laughing. That’s a bad sign for Bush. Remember when everyone laughed when he joked, "No weapons of mass destruction over here!" at that dinner? Also, they play some racist comments from Tony Snow’s radio show. This is the United State’s new press secretary!!!
GOO-GOO-GA-JOOB!

What they don’t tell you about the picture is that they are stealing a truss for Trott Lent’s (an alias of Trent Lott) house.
It was a payoff for not investigating bu$hit’s lead up to the Iraq war.
Does Bush look like he has put on a couple of pounds?

Chevron Earnings Soar 49 Percent to $4B
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE, AP Business Writer
24 minutes ago
SAN RAMON, Calif. – Chevron Corp.’s first-quarter profit soared 49 percent to $4 billion, joining the procession of U.S. oil companies to report colossal earnings as lawmakers consider ways to pacify motorists agitated about rising gas prices.
The San Ramon, Calif.-based company’s net income, reported Friday, translated into $1.80 per share, two cents above the average estimate among analysts polled by Thomson Financial. It compared to a profit of $2.7 billion, or $1.28 per share, in the same January-March period last year.
Revenue totaled $54.6 billion, a 31 percent increase from $41.6 billion last year.
If not for continuing production problems caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita last summer, Chevron said it would have made an additional $300 million _ an amount that would have generated the highest quarterly profit in the company’s 127-year history.
Bush should be in Baghdad helping fix what he has done to them (Baghdad Burning).
