He's a very good singer. Why would this make him insane or evil?” 2:37:43 PM 3/25/02 Hey Tom “I bet your family would be proud if you won ANY award...” 2:47:58 PM 3/25/02 “Only Tom would use that web site as an actual reference for something he was stating.

Does he backpack?” 4:52:02 PM 3/25/02 “I just did a search to see if John Ashcroft was a backpacker and found THIS instead... 5/14/2001 - WWIII - Next Stop Jerusalem - Final Call to America - Since the day it happened the GJiGT PFWNU told you that the Oklahoma City Bombing was a government INSIDE job. Just browse with your Edit Find for Oklahoma in past PFWNU's. Now we see the proof. WHO HAD THE EVIDENCE? WHO HID THE EVIDENCE? WHO MADE THE MOCKERY OF JUSTICE? THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO BLAME MILITIAS AND CHRISTIAN EXTREMISTS. THE PROBLEM IS THE CLINTON-RENO GOVERNMENT BOMBED OKLAHOMA TO COVER THE MURDER OF INNOCENT CHILDREN, WOMEN, AND MEN AT WACO. THE BIG PROBLEM IS THE BUSH-ASHCROFT GOVERNMENT IS CONTINUING THE LUCIFERIAN AGENDA. Bush & Ashcroft mock God with their lies to continue the coverup and continue doing Lucifer's bidding. Bush and Ashcroft are liars. They are not Christians. Woooo Hoooo!! Lock your doors, folks! They've landed. And Prince Charles Is The Antichrist!! BOL!! How about some campfire stories?” 6:13:09 PM 3/25/02 “Nigal, Hillbilly's may be backward and lack formal education, but they are not raving lunatics. You have besmirched an entire class of people by claiming Tom T was up to Hill People's standards.” 6:56:15 PM 3/25/02 “Up yer's, bacpac!

"Hello, Ashcroft is afraid of calico cats!" Where did ya get this little nugget?” 8:26:42 AM 3/26/02 “Staff cry poetic injustice as singing Ashcroft introduces patriot games Julian Borger in Washington Monday March 4, 2002 The Guardian Since John Ashcroft became US attorney general last year, workers at the department of justice have become accustomed to his daily prayer meetings, but some are now drawing the line at having to sing patriotic songs penned by their idiosyncratic boss. Mr Ashcroft, a devout Christian and a grittily determined singer, went public with one of his works last month, when he surprised an audience at a North Carolina seminary with a rendition of Let the Eagle Soar, a tribute to America's virtues, which continues: "Like she's never soared before, from rocky coast to golden shore, let the mighty eagle soar," and so on for four minutes. The performance (which can be seen and heard at cnn.com/video/us/2002/02/25/ashcroft.sings.wbtv.med.html) was accompanied only by taped music, but Mr Ashcroft's staff are complaining that printed versions of the song are being distributed at meetings so that they will be able to join in. When asked why she opposed the workplace singalong, one of the department's lawyers said: "Have you heard the song? It really sucks." A group of Hispanic justice department employees were recently summoned to see the attorney general, and went along hoping that their boss might be making a special effort to promote diversity in the department's higher ranks. Instead, they were asked to provide a hasty Spanish lesson to give the secretary a few phrases to use on a foreign delegation the next day. The Hispanic staff were then handed printed copies of Let the Eagle Soar and asked for volunteers to translate it. This is not the first time Mr Ashcroft's subordinates have realised that this attorney general is unlike ordinary politicians. Each time he has been sworn in to political office, he is anointed with cooking oil (in the manner of King David, as he points out in his memoirs Lessons from a Father to His Son). When Mr Ashcroft was in the Senate, the duty was performed by his father, a senior minister in a church specialising in speaking in tongues, the Pentecostal Assemblies of God. When he became attorney general, Clarence Thomas, a supreme court justice, did the honours. In January, a pair of 12ft statues in the atrium of a justice department building were covered by a blue curtain, on orders from Mr Ashcroft's office because the female figure Spirit of Justice was bare-breasted, and the body of her male partner, Majesty of Law, was not sufficiently covered by his toga. The cover-up has provoked an anti-Ashcroft campaign by the singer and film star Cher, who has toured the media circuit denouncing his puritanism. She asked the Washington Post: "What are we going to do next? Put shorts on the statue of David, put an 1880s bathing suit on Venus Rising and a shirt on the Venus de Milo?" Perhaps the most bizarre wrinkle in the Ashcroft enigma emerged in November when Andrew Tobias, the Democratic Party treasurer and a financial writer, published an article on his website accusing the attorney general of harbouring superstitions about tabby cats. According to the Tobias article, advance teams for an Ashcroft visit to the US embassy in the Hague asked anxiously if there were tabby cats (or calico cats as they are known in the US) on the premises. "Their boss, they explained, believes calico cats are signs of the devil," Mr Tobias reported. When asked about the veracity of the report, the justice department said that it had made Mr Ashcroft laugh. There has been no further comment on the matter.” 9:47:16 AM 3/26/02 “I heard that he has since cleared this up. He is not afraid of calico cats. It's squirrels that terify him. (They are evil, you know.)” 9:49:20 AM 3/26/02 “ 9:51:21 AM 3/26/02 “So it's a rumor that a democratic treasurer started? I wonder where this guy got it from? While on the surface some of the things he does would seem weird to nonreligious people some of the things he does shows an absolute seriousness and commitment to his station and his responsibilities he was chosen to fulfill. The sticking point becomes where does his religious life end and his job begin?” 10:05:24 AM 3/26/02 “Thanks, Violin, you da man! nigal- I'm not kickin' anybody's a$$. I'm just a big #&%!$cat! Hey, wait a minute, maybe I should retract that last one! Naw, you chumps can go ahead and have fun with it! I ain't afraid o' no ghosts...... or cats...... or bacpacs..... But I could leave that joker hung up in the rhododendron like Peter Rabbit in the thorn bush!” 10:21:32 AM 3/26/02 Leader of the itty bitty titty committee “If Mr. Ashcroft really wanted to cover up a disgusting display, he should have thrown a curtain over Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars. ![]() Yikes!” 10:56:38 AM 3/26/02 “Skwerl-size” 11:01:04 AM 3/26/02 “Maybe Ashcroft is one of the one-world-government illuminati?” 2:49:56 PM 3/26/02 3:46:27 PM 3/26/02 “Thanks.” 4:38:42 PM 3/26/02 “See what I mean Nigal? No self respecting hillbilly would call himself a #&%!$!” 5:49:05 PM 3/26/02 “John AshKKKroft is the greatest threat to American liberty since J. Edgar Hoover.” 10:14:53 AM 3/27/02 “You mean Ashcroft is a cross-dressing paranoid?” 10:21:11 AM 3/27/02 “Well, they haven't caught him with any altar boys YET!” 11:35:31 AM 3/27/02 “‘It’s just a dress. She loved the dress. If people want to be mean about it, that’s up to them.’ — STEPHEN HUVANE Gwyneth Paltrow's spokesman PALTROW’S cadaver-ish and bra-less appearance at the Oscar has elicited international ridicule from the likes of the Washington Post (which said, “Oscar viewers howled in horror”), the London Daily Telegraph (which called it “A Frock Horror”), and satirists (see BorowitzReport.com). Now, Alexander McQueen, who designed the dress that may be the biggest Oscar fashion faux pas since Barbra Streisand wore see-through britches back in 1968, has come to Paltrow’s defense. “Gwyneth is a beautiful woman,” McQueen told the Scoop in a prepared statement. “She looked incredible and it was a pleasure to dress her.”” 2:29:35 PM 3/28/02 “CBS/AP) The Bush administration suffered two big legal setbacks Thursday as a pair of federal appeals courts ruled against the way the government is handling terror suspects. In both cases, the courts decided the administration was denying the suspects their rights. The ruling said "presidential authority does not exist in a vacuum, and this case involves not whether those responsibilities should be aggressively pursued, but whether the president is obligated, in the circumstances presented here, to share them with Congress," it added. Then, less than three hours later, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' in San Francisco weighed in on the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, ordering that the 660 prisoners there should have access to lawyers and the American court system. And that was on top of a recent decision by the Supreme Court to hear arguments on similar questions. Put it all together, say analysts, and it's a huge legal defeat. "The courts are beginning to really step up to the plate and question the legitimacy of these very broad assertions of power on behalf of the government," said David Cole of Georgetown Law School. It's been an especially embarrassing week, too, for Attorney General John Ashcroft, who was personally rebuked by a Detroit federal judge for violating a gag order in a terror trial there. Judge Gerald Rosen "sanctioned" Ashcroft for his statements, calling them "serious transgressions." Ashcroft apologized. Almost lost in the mix was a Syracuse University study which found the Justice Department has "tried 184 people on terrorism charges since 9-11," but has managed to get a "median prison term of just 14 days", and in "some cases, no jail time at all."” 9:58:56 PM 12/18/03
