the blog - randomness at its worst
beyond the threshold

albino squirrels
portrait of a blog
portrait of a starfish
trapped in the eyes of a cucumber

Yeah I haven't been here for a LONG time.

1. I got my own domain name. laurapink.com
2. School has started again and my teachers are all Nazi's about giving out homework
3. I lose track of time very easily

So. There's a contest. There's no prize it's just... a contest. Who can think of the best name to rename PinkStarfish. It's a little too girly for all the guys out there.
And also, I'm going to try as hard as I can to recruit new members. And I'm going to host this page on my site, and make a new layout.

Hows that for a great comeback?! ;-)

Bush Administration Spends Week Retracting Assertions about Saddam's Threat
to the U.S.

The Bush administration this week backed away from three major rationales
for going to war in Iraq last March, undermining its assertions that
Hussein's Iraq posed an imminent threat to the United States and its allies.

September 11th
As recently as Sunday, Vice President Cheney, claimed that on the question
of Saddam Hussein's involvement in September 11th, "We just don't know."[1]
But within days, both President Bush and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld each
admitted there was no evidence that Hussein had any connection. On
Wednesday, Bush maintained there was "no evidence" that Hussein was
involved.[2] Two days later, Rumsfeld, said, "I've not seen any indication
that would lead me to believe that I could say that."[3]

Yet in March, Hussein's possible involvement in the terrorist attacks
garnered support for the war from many Americans. At the time, the widely
reported meeting between 9/11 planner Mohammed Atta and Iraq's security
chief in Prague a few months before the attack was found by the CIA not to
be credible.[4]

'Reconstituted Nuclear Weapons Program'
Recently, Cheney backed away from the assertion he made three days before
the war began, that the strongest reason for going to war was that "we
believe [Hussein] has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."[5] But the
International Atomic Energy Agency reported two weeks before that , "There
was no indication of resumed nuclear activities."[6] And six months later on
Meet the Press, Cheney said simply, "I misspoke."[7]

Weapons of Mass Destruction
This week, Rumsfeld reversed earlier statements claiming that the U.S. knew
where Iraq's weapons of destruction were located. When asked why the
weapons hadn't been found, this past Tuesday Rumsfeld said, "What do you
mean? You're talking about a country the size of California."[8] Yet months
ago, just two weeks into the war, Rumsfeld said, "We know where they are.
They are in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and
north somewhat."[9]

President Bush Shortchanges Funding for His Own Emergency AIDS Program

The President heavily promoted his emergency relief for AIDS after announcing it
at this year's State of the Union speech, signing a $15 billion law to be spent
over five years. But while the President is publicly calling for full funding,
he's actively seeking to underfund his own program.

The President said in Africa this July that "The House of Representatives and
the United States Senate must fully fund this initiative, for the good of the
people on this continent of Africa," Less than a week later, he sent a letter to
Congress asking for 1/3rd less than full funding.

The law that Bush signed authorized $3 billion a year, but President Bush has
requested only $2 billion in his 2004 budget. Despite the claim to fully fund
the program in the State of the Union, the Bush Administration is now claiming
that AIDS service organizations cannot absorb full funding immediately. The
service organizations themselves disagree with the White House's position.

The Republican-led Foreign Operations subcommittee also disagreed when it
approved a doubling of the commitment for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS from
$200 million to $400 million, despite a letter from the White House requesting
the lower figure. It was later scrapped by the full committee under White House
pressure.

And the bottom line? The president's push for $1 billion less than authorized by
Congress (and promoted by the President himself) blocks 1 million people from
treatment and nearly 2.5 million new HIV infections that could be avoided.
