Here is a list of polls to stuff tonight, and here is a list of emails for people and institutions you can contact. Here is a group fact-checking project for rapid response, and here is another collective, fact-checking, rapid response project.. You should bookmark them all. Once more unto the breech!

Bush lies about Bin Laden:

Q: Mr. President, in your speeches now, you rarely talk or mention Osama bin Laden. Why is that? [...]

BUSH: ... I don't know where he is. Nor -- you know, I just don't spend that much time on him really, to be honest with you [...]

Q: Do you believe the threat that bin Laden posed won't truly be eliminated until he is found either dead of alive?

BUSH: As I say, we hadn't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, you know, again, I don't know where he is.

I'll repeat what I said: I truly am not that concerned about him.

Liar.

Battle of Agincourt - This seems to fit tonight
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
Make him a member of the gentry, even if he is a commoner.
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

"Today we fly to take and hold a pass. We will do so until we are out of bodies or power or ammo. I'm not sure which we'll run out of first. All things considered, probably bodies.

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. In years to come, men at home now in their beds will think of this day and do you know what they will say? 'Jesus, I'm glad I wasn't with those poor doomed ACS assholes or right now I'd be dead.'

"But what the hell; that's why they pay us the big bucks. Board ships."
-----Major Mike O'Neill Jr., in John Ringo's When the Devil Dances


Sorry, couldn't resist; I can't see this passage from Henry V without thinking of Iron Mike's version.  If you like military SF, check out Ringo; he's terrifically entertaining, even if he is a bit of a winger.

OBL lie in 15 seconds
Windows Media (215kb). It's the OBL lie in full contrast mode. Repeat mercilessly. This is what we want everyone to remember. Video courtesy of Fox and the DNC. (Soon I'll replace the Fox with higher quality.)
