Pleasure Boat Captains for Truth has been formed to counter the deliberate misrepresentation of George W. Bush's drinking record. We seek to portray him as he was, and still is: a "lightweight."
We, the men who were served drinks alongside George W. Bush, have partied with real party animals-- on the shores of Lake Tahoe, up and down the Gulf of Mexico, in the harbors of Kennebunkport. We have seen good men down a dozen kamikazes, and then swim once more onto the beach. We have watched the buzzed and brightest of our generation play beer pong until they were bent double, like beggars under sacks. We have known these party animals, and we have partied with them.And George W. Bush is no party animal.

On environmental issues, Mr. Bush appeared unfamiliar with an administration report delivered to Congress on Wednesday that indicated that emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases were the only likely explanation for global warming over the last three decades. Previously, Mr. Bush and other officials had emphasized uncertainties in understanding the causes and consequences of global warming.

The new report was signed by Mr. Bush's secretaries of energy and commerce and his science adviser. Asked why the administration had changed its position on what causes global warming, Mr. Bush replied, "Ah, we did? I don't think so."

And that is Vinny at the bottom in the midst of "The Play," when he was caught 20 yards behind the line by blitzing OU linebackers, escaped 6 tackles (including the one that pulled his jersey halfway off) and then ran for a 10 yard gain. It was the play that effectively won them the game, and Vinny the Heisman:

Since these songs are getting some airtime in crappy movies and discussions at the Stoned Crow post-Fredeeky Fest '04, I figured I would give them ashout out. Both are on the single for the Postal Service's "Such GreatHeights" which came out in early 2003. Nice cross-marketing on Sub Pop's part. Both these bands are awesome and do their thing with Ben Gibbard's hooks while dropping the New Order beats.We Will Become Silhouettes (performed by The Shins) - Better than the original, which considering that it hadn't really been released at this point is pretty impressive - and kind of confusing. Such Great Heights (performed by Iron and Wine) - Great song or just a novelty item? You decide. At the least it is a testament to Gibbard's ability to write an (occasional) great song.

Wippo: "What was Mary-Kate in for?"
Publicist: "She was being treated for an eating-related disorder, but she's managing it very successfully."

The administration has pressed for approval of new drilling permits across the Rocky Mountains and lifted protections on hundreds of thousands of acres with gas and oil reserves in Utah and Colorado. In the process, it has targeted a number of places prized for their scenery, abundant wildlife and clean water, natural assets increasingly valuable to the region's changing economy.
