IT'S PROBABLY TIME FOR U-S ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO "TORTURE-ENABLER, HABEUS-KILLER" GONZALES TO GO. HE'S DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT SENATOR ARLEN SPECTOR OF PENNSYLVANIA WOULD HAVE LIKED LIKE TO HAVE SAID AND WHAT Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York DID SAY ON SUNDAY, ACCORDING TO THE LOS ANGELES TIMES. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/11/opinion/11sun1.html?_r=1&oref=slogin WE ALSO LEARNED SUNDAY THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS AN EDITORIAL CALLING FOR GONZALES TO RESIGN.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070309/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/national_security_letters

ON FRIDAY, GONZALES WAS WORKING ON DAMAGE CONTROL AS HE AND FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION DIRECTOR ROBERT MUELLER ADMITTED THAT THEY DID A WHOLE LOTTA DOMESTIC SPYING THEY WEREN'T AUTHORIZED TO DO UNDER THE ALREADY UNBELIEVEABLY GENEROUS TERMS OF THE USA PATRIOT ACT. ACCORDING TO ASSOCIATED PRESS, Gonzales left open the possibility of pursuing criminal charges against FBI agents or lawyers who improperly used the USA Patriot Act in pursuit of suspected terrorists and spies, BUT YOU'LL BE COLD AND DEAD BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. MEULLER BASICALLY SAID IT WAS HIS FAULT FOR NOT INSISTING THAT THERE BE AN AUDIT OF WHAT THE F-B-I WAS DOING WITH THE SO-CALLED NATIONAL SECURITY LETTERS, AND THAT THE REPBULICAN-DOMINATED CONGRESS HAD SPENT SIX YEARS NOT INISISTING THAT HE DO THAT INSISTING. [ACTUALITY-MULLER] THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, Anthony D. Romero, SAID "The attorney general and the FBI are part of the problem, and they cannot be trusted to be part of the solution,"

All pet dogs will be killed in a district of the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing as part of an anti-rabies campaign, the government said. Residents of the city's Wanzhou district have until March 15 to hand over their dogs, according to a directive seen Wednesday on the district's official Web site, according to Associate Press.

AND NOW, POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO ANNOUNCE THAT, ACCORDING TO THE WEB SITE THE GREAT FIREWALL OF CHINA DOT ORG, OUR MAIN URL, POORMOJO DOT ORG, IS OFFICIALLY BANNED IN THE PEOPLES' REPUBLIC! POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR DAVE-O SAYS, it's ironic, considering the bulk of Chinese SPAMbots that have beaten up on our wiki and comments in the past.

Do we have any Chinese readers? Can anyone out there confirm that they've successfully accessed PMjA from behind the Rice Curtain, or is the Almanac(k) and all of her bounty truly invisible to the Middle Kingdom?

If we are banned, why? Is it because of Alan's potty mouth?

I DUNNO, DAVE-O. I'D PUT MY MONEY ON EDITOR MOJO'S POSTS ON THE COMING WAR BETWEEN THE U-S-A AND CHINA, AND THAT EXPOSE ON THE FALUN-GONG PRISIONER ORGAN FARMS.

ALSO FROM THE ASIA/PACIFIC DESK, IN A RELATED STORY, CNN AND REUTERS REPORT ON A COW THAT EATS CHICKENS. DATELINE: KOLKATA, India: A family -- BLAMING ITS DOGS -- decided to stand guard at night on Monday at the cow shed which also served as a hen coop, after 48 chickens went missing in a month.

"Instead of OUR dogs [EATING THE CHICKENS], we watched in horror as the calf, whom we had fondly named Lal, sneak to the coop and grab the little ones with the precision of a jungle cat," Gour Ghosh, said.

Local television pictures showed the cow grabbing and eating a chicken in seconds and a vet confirmed the case.

POOR MOJO'S EDITOR MOJO HAD HIMSELF A LITTLE FANTASY AFTER READING THE ARTICLE ON PORTAL OF EVIL NEWS ENTITLED: Iranian general defects to US. MOJO SAYS: HE'LL promise to say whatever Cheney tells him to. "Nukes? Yes, Iran has many nukes." Glances over at Cheney, who nods and holds up four fingers. "Iran has four million nukes. Yes."

Cheney facepalms.

THE TIMES OF LONDON ONLINE ARTICLE HAS, APPARENTLY, NOT BEEN PICKED UP BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IN THE U-S-A. ORIGINALLY, IRAN HAD ALERTED INTERPOL THAT GENERAL Ali Resa Asgari HAD GONE MISSING AND WAS PRESUMED KIDNAPPED DURING A LAYOVER IN TURKEY. BUT ASGARI SEEMS TO HAVE MANAGED TO GET AWAY, MAKING HIM THE FIRST IRANIAN TO DEFECT TO THE WEST IN DECADES, WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY AND DETAILED FIGURES ON HEZBOLLAH'S TROOP AND WEAPONS' STRENGTH.

THE STORY HAS BEEN DECLARED "A GREAT GONZO READ" BY POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO, AND IT CERTAINLY IS COMPELLING TO LEARN THAT A THOUSAND RUSSIANS HAVE KILLED THEMSELVES DRINKING TAINTED MOONSHINE, ACCORDING TO B-B-C NEWS' FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. INTERNET JESUS AND SPIRITS SPECIALIST WARREN ELLIS FORWARDS THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT:

They called it the yellow death. It started in the summer when dozens of people turned up in casualty, a vile shade of yellow.

The dozens turned to hundreds, then a thousand. The better cases recovered, but will die long before their time.

The worst cases? Natasha is not yet 30, she's got a seven-year-old boy called Maxim and she has less than a year to live.

Her whole body has gone yellow - an instantly recognisable feature of toxic hepatitis.

Something has destroyed her liver and now all the natural toxins in the body are stacking up.

Her own body is poisoning her and there is nothing medicine - or at least nothing state medicine in Russia - can do about it.

Natasha and everyone else in the hospital corridors had bought samogon, moonshine, as usual - but something had been added to it.

BY CUTTING $3.2 BILLION IN LOW-PRIORITY MILITARY SPENDING -- LIKE, I DUNNO, BUYING PROSTHETIC LIMBS FOR THE THE IRAQ OCCUPATION FORCES WOUNDED?

WHEN OUR OWN MOJO READ THE HEADLINE, HE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

Is this an early Apri Fool's joke? HE ASKED?

They seriously named a MILITARY satellite Skynet?

[ACTUALITY - TERMINATOR 2]

YES, MOJO, IT'S TRUE, ACCORDING TO B-B-C NEWS, THE UNITED KINGDOM AWAITS THE LAUNCH OF SKY-NET WITHOUT A SHRED OF SELF-AWARE IRONY, AND APPARENTLY NO AWARENESS OF THE TERMINATOR MOVIE SERIES, EITHER. FROM THE ARTICLE :

The British military is set to take one of its most significant steps into the digital age with the launch of the first Skynet 5 satellite.

The spacecraft will deliver secure, high-bandwidth communications for UK and "friendly" forces across the globe.

JOHN CONNOR... BUDDY... YOU'RE FUCKED.
