Hightower Lowdown launched!
Rather than give the Academy Award speech that I’ve been saving up since I was a toddler, I’ll just give you the link to the website I just launched for The Hightower Lowdown, and the press release:
——————————————————
George W is doing a heck of a job!
At least, that’s what he says. He reckons our economy is “steady and strong. Steady and strong.”
In the real world, dozens of researchers are keeping track and the Hightower Lowdown has put all their facts and figures into a HANDY DANDY POSTER that spells out what a whopper and a crock’o’ that Bush claim is!
Just a couple of highlights: Last year we bought more goods and services from other countries than they bought from us — $723 billion more, which is an all-time record trade deficit. Bush has cut taxes on people who make $10 million a year by half a million bucks a year each. Meanwhile, 37 million Americans are living in poverty.

When one of your favorite bands from college asks you to do a little PR for them, you can’t help but fall over yourself and say, “OhmygodTOTALLY.”
