And after he endorsement, Bush and McCain will hug and fondle each
other's private parts while 19 percent of America drools and cheers.

ABC News' John Berman and Jennifer Duck Report: Senator John McCain, R-
Ariz., who clinched the Republican nomination with clean sweep of wins
in Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont on Tuesday, will visit the
White House on Wednesday.

There, according to sources close to the McCain, the Republican
Senator will receive the endorsement of President George W. Bush.

Bush and McCain -- rivals in an often bitter 2000 presidential
campaign -- will have lunch together and then make a joint statement
at 1pm ET, according to a senior administration official.

According to a count by the Associated Press, McCain has reached 1,191
delegates, the magic number to secure the Republican nomination.

McCain's most significant remaining rival

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Mike Huckabee bowed to reality Tuesday and out of
the Republican presidential race. "We kept the faith," he told his end-
of-the-road rally Tuesday after John McCain clinched the nomination.
"I'd rather lose an election than lose the principles that got me into
politics in the first place."

The genial conservative went out as he had campaigned all along, with
a quip: "It's time for us to hit the reset button."

Huckabee won the leadoff Iowa caucuses, making him a sudden but short-
lived sensation, and then seven other states: Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Louisiana and Kansas. Meantime,
McCain piled up big victories on his way to winning the prize on
Tuesday night.

The writing was on the wall for weeks, but the former Arkansas
governor hung on until McCain secured the necessary delegates.

After almost five years of war, many young Iraqis, exhausted by
constant firsthand exposure to the violence of religious extremism,
say they have grown disillusioned with religious leaders and skeptical
of the faith that they preach.

In two months of interviews with 40 young people in five Iraqi cities,
a pattern of disenchantment emerged, in which young Iraqis, both poor
and middle class, blamed clerics for the violence and the restrictions
that have narrowed their lives.

"I hate Islam and all the clerics because they limit our freedom every
day and their instruction became heavy over us," said Sara Sami, a
high school student in Basra. "Most of the girls in my high school
hate that Islamic people control the authority because they don't
deserve to be rulers."

Atheer, a 19-year-old from a poor, heavily Shiite neighborhood in
southern Baghdad, said: "The religion men are liars. Young people
don't believe them. Guys my age are not interested in religion
anymore."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration on Monday again asked
Congress to allow oil and natural gas drilling in Alaska's Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge, saying $7 billion could be raised in leasing
fees from energy companies.

In its proposed budget for the 2009 spending year, which begins on
October 1, the White House said it assumed the initial tracts in the
refuge could be leased during 2010.

The government would share half the $7 billion in leasing revenue with
the state of Alaska.

However, the Democratic-controlled Congress is against opening the
area to drilling and the two leading Democratic candidates for
president also have opposed energy exploration there.

The refuge, which is home to a variety of wildlife such as polar bears
and migratory birds, stretches across 19 million acres in the
northeast corner of Alaska.

The White House wants to offer 1.5 million acres (607,000 hectares) in
the refuge's coastal plain for oil and natural gas exploration leases.

The Interior Department estimates the area that would be drilled holds
between 5.7 billion and 16 billion barrels of oil.

John McCain wrapped up the Republicon nomination tonight

With the Democrats headed for a brokered convention, it's time for Al
"Big Dawg" Gore to step in, pick up the Democratic nomination, and
wipe the floor with McCain.

Oil prices his $104

Hmmmm . . . . I take great pleasure in noting that fools, cowards and
related minions and losers who atack the messenger, but never dare to
confront the factual reality of the message, are now stuck with the
factual reality that my predictions keep being proved TRUE . . . time
and again.

Heck!! Its no wonder that they dare not otherwise attack the Tax
Refusal. They know that, if they had spines and principles sufficient,
they would do the same as all others who long ago joined that still
growing effort.

Speaking of which: :-) . . . . (-:

The Tax Refusal is built on one argument:

That "The Rule Of Law" is based on the duty of all to
refuse to be party to murder.

Indeed it is my most serious claim that:

"All have a lawful duty to refuse to support their society if that
society is participating in plans and preparations that are
predicated on a will and capacity to be party to mass murder."

Ergo: The Tax Refusal can't be defeated.

Rather successfully too. All this scare tactic shit about what the
Republicans may do; they just can set back and let Hillary take the
attack to Barack as she and her minions did this week; Obarmel's team
also has shown it can dish the crap and dirty tactics in the grand old
Chicago tradition as well. Nice the way they tried to game the Texas
caucus carnival. The next month or two should be an interesting
Democratic bloodbath. Then that maniac Dean will open his fat mouth
and try to circumvent the democratic process. Should be good
entertainment!

Resurrect King Dollar?

Hell . . nothing will resurrect that now nearly worthless piece of
toilet paper.

However, even if only to save "More!" of them for use as toilet paper
when everything else goes down the toilet (Multiple Puns intended),
readers should now act on their right and duty to refuse to pay so
much as one red cent to a society that would mass murder millions of
others in order to have a bit more oil to "power" their military and
thereby enable that Military to murder yet more people so that
corporate America can keep counting their useless profits.

Indeed it is my most serious claim that:

So Hillary takes Ohio and Rhode Island, and a narrow win in Texas.

Does Hillary still got a chance?

What's the latest tally on delegates? Is Obama still ahead??

Is Texas a "Winner Takes All" state ?
