"This wasn't any old Joe. It was Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC's Scarborough Country
who was courted last summer by the RNC to run against Cruella Harris. But before he could 
announce he wouldn't, Harris called major donors and suggested Scarborough would have to 
answer questions about Scarborough's dead intern."  
    --Marc Caputo, "Story of 'Joe's dead intern' began Harris' slide, insiders say", Link
 

So if you kill an intern, you can go on to cable TV stardom.
But talking about Scarborough's dead intern is political suicide?

War of the Worlds
  by Brent Budowsky

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
For a good time, Google the date July 4, 1826. 

On that day, 50 years to the hour after the Great Declaration was signed by freedom's 
greatest friends, Jefferson lay dying, Adams lay dying, thinking of America and each other.

What would they think of our President, who used the holy grounds of 9-11 to declare and 
wage aggressive war pitting one group of Americans against another, pitting the Executive 
Branch of the American government against good faith respect for our Bill of Rights, pitting 
the rule of law and American honor against what even our conservative Supreme Court now 
holds as illegal detention practices and a litany of abuses and wrongs that offend what 
Jefferson called the decent opinion of mankind? 

What would they think of Democratic leaders? 
What would they think of the media?
 
 

I'd like to answer those last two: 
I think those great men would call today's media a disgusting gaggle of cheap-ass harlots and 
they'd call todays Democrats spineless weenies who soil their pink tutus whenever Rove barks.

"Less than four months before Election Day, the latest Fox News Poll finds that voters 
strongly favor the Democrats on key issues such as the economy and gas prices, and give 
the minority party a double-digit lead for control of Congress this fall. Meanwhile, Bush's 
approval rating dropped back down to 36% -- down five points in just two weeks."

Middle East in Flames

I'm going to talk about this without talking about it.
Don't write and tell me "how things should be."
Things are what they are.

Right now, Israel has the much stronger military. They're holding a knife.
The kidnappers (gotta call 'em something) don't want to comply,
even tho they're confronted by a man with a knife.

Every hour that goes by and the kidnapped soldiers are not released,
Israel stabs the kidnappers again, and they're bleeding.

Instead of complying with the armed man, the Ks are wailing,
"It's not right! The stab wounds hurt so much. I'm bleeding everywhere," 
but they refuse to return the soldiers so Israel stabs them again.

Instead of complying with the armed man, the Ks are wailing,
"It's not fair! It's so terrible - what the armed man keeps doing, it hurts so much," 
but they refuse to return the soldiers so Israel stabs them again.

Instead of complying with the armed man, the Ks are wailing,
"It's not right! The women and children are dying and they're bombing our food," 
but they refuse to return the soldiers so Israel stabs them again.

Do you see where I'm going?

What *I* am talking about has nothing to do with Israel or Palestine or the 
Middle East or any other religious insanity that the crazies will accuse me of siding with. 
When the guy with the knife barks an order at you, you have two choices and each time,
The Ks ask Israel to stab them again. 

I remember the old Jack Benny joke:
The robber says, "Your money or your life!' and Benny just stands there.
The robber barks, "Your money or your life!'

And Benny, indignant that he's being rushed says, "I'm thinking about it!"
It always got a big laugh because what kid of idiot doesn't want to live?

Religious idiots, that's who.
How many hundreds of thousands of people have been killed because both
sides claim the never-existed Invisible Cloud Being gave them that fucking sand.

They'd rather have that sand than watch their kids grow up.
That what religion does to people.

Separate but Equal

The sand is almost as useless as the lies that have been passed down for thousands 
of years so bastards like the Bush Family Evil Empire can make a profit from death.

Do you think it's an accident that the BFEE sells oil and weapons?
They could sell soybeans, but it's hard to create a deamnd for subeans.
It's easy to create a demand for war - especially when you're the president of the US.

Bush the smarter stole the presidency so he could start a fake war in the Middle East.
Bush the stupid stole the presidency so he could start a fake war in the Middle East.

It's about the BFEE making gazllions of dollars and if you call them on it, they'll say 
"You hate the troops!" and the networks, the newspapers and the talk radio Nazis 
will agree with them and that's how the Earth turned into a spinning cinder.

Remember: Oil is going to $100, and then to $200.
And who controls most of the oil on Earth?

Subject: her 

Bart,

I met the most intriguing woman, during the 1992 Presidential campaign, ...it was her. 

As I talked she looked at me with the most intense look. We were interrupted several times,
each time she would ask me to excuse her looked at the aide and would look back at me and 
smile as if to say 'I will be right back.'  

The intensity of her gaze and the glint in her eye told much.  Cold, no intelligent, yes.  
In today's world where puppets are 'king' true intelligence is feared.  She has warmth and intelligence.  
The warmth was that she allowed me to speak my piece without cutting me off 
when she had many others clambering for her attention.

Tim
 

Tim, why do you hate America?
If you loved your country, you'd help those hueueueuge lefty web sites 
(and we know who they are) knife the demo front-runner in the back.

Democrats cave in again, apologize
 How dare they show Bush doing a bad job...

 Yahoo News

 Excerpt:
Democrats pulled an Internet ad that showed flag-draped coffins Friday after Republicans
and at least two Democrats demanded it be taken down on grounds the image was insensitive
and not fit for a political commercial.

The ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called for a "new direction" and
displayed a staccato of images, including war scenes, pollution and breached levees as well as a
photograph of  Tom DeLay doctored to look like a police mug shot.
 

I'm so sick of Democrats caving in and Democrat apologies.
Why is it wrong to show a series of Bush disasters in an ad?

I accept your challenge about God showing up and creating a miracle
and I also concede that God will not show up.

You win!

Now that you have title to the Holy Land you can take your title 
and show it to the Israelies and tell them to move out.
Mid-east problem solved. 
End of all Israeli conflicts as you are ruler of the Holy Land.
Damn, that was easy. 

Shouldn't you tell Bush about your new ownership 
and let the world know that the problem is finally solved?

Let us know when the Israelies honor you title deed 
and begin moving out, meanwhile I won't hold my breath.

Mike
 
 

Mike, you're right - they'll never leave.
They love that sacred sand more than they love their children.

That's the problem - religious insanity.

Gingrich: It's World War III

 Seattletimes

Excerpt:
Newt Gingrich says America is in World War III and Bush should say so. Gingrich said Bush 
should call a joint session of Congress the first week of September and talk about global military 
conflicts in much starker terms than have been heard from the president. "We need to have the 
militancy that says 'We're not going to lose a city,' " Gingrich said. He talks about the need to 
recognize World War III as important for military strategy and political strategy."

Subject: my WPE sticker

My parents (who are in their 70s and survived Stalin's USSR and WWII), although they 
hate Bush almost as much as I do, were  apprehensive about my putting the WPE sticker 
on the back of my  Jeep.  They live in a Republican neighborhood, and thought it might  
upset their neighbors, or that crazy people might take it out on my car.

Imagine their surprise when their next door neighbor wandered over, took one look at it, 
and launched into a diatribe against Bush.  This  guy is a retired plumber, devout Catholic,
and generally pretty  conservative.

I told them similar things happened to me all the time.  When I went  to a local hardware store, 
and the owner saw the sticker, he also launched into an anti-Bush  diatribe.  A woman at the 
drugstore sees my stickers, and asks me where to get some.

So many people have been cowed into silence, and are afraid of being  labeled "un-American" 
if they don't "support their president" that  they don't realized how many people out here in the 
heartland really  agree with them.  Bush is "hated" by a majority of Americans.  Look at the polls.

All it takes is a sticker (or a T-shirt) to get the conversation  going, an outward sign that acts to
catalyze the conversation.  And  once people start talking, they come flooding out, the pent up  
feelings they've had.  It's as though they are relieved to finally express what they really believe.

Bush's disengagement 
While Earth burns, Bush gets wood for a pig

 Newsday.com

 Excerpt:
As Israeli warplanes were preparing an attack on Lebanon Thursday afternoon, 
and a Lebanese militia was aiming a rocket at the ancient Israeli city of Safed, 
America's Nut-Monkey was bantering with reporters in Germany about a pig.

Bush kept bringing up the roast wild boar he was about eat at a banquet that night, 
even when asked about the swelling crisis in the Middle East, where pig meat is 
forbidden to religious Jews and Muslims.

"Does it concern you that the Beirut airport has been bombed?" a reporter asked.
"And do you see a risk of triggering a wider war?"

"I thought you were going to ask me about the pig," Bush replied blithely.
Then he brought the pig up again -- for the fifth time -- before giving a long answer
that ended with his saying Israel needed to protect itself.

"He was asked a serious question," said Ian Lustick, a Middle East expert and 
his answer "epitomized his disengagement in the Middle East."
 

Actually, he's too stupid to have an opinion.

He can't look at a situation and use his brain to forn an opinion ir a reply.
He has to wait until somebody can't write 2-3 very short sentences for him,
something he can retain and remember, THEN he'll give you Cheney's opinion.

Subject: the Catholic dog

Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. 
One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, 
"Father, me dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a mass for the poor creature?"

Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church. 
But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe. 
Maybe they'll do something for the creature."

Muldoon said, "I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think $5,000 is enough 
to donate to them for the service?"

Father Patrick exclaimed, "Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! 
Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic?"

Boondoogle by Design

 alternet

 Excerpt:
If you were to gather together the finest, most creative minds and ask them to come up with 
a plan to outsource the reconstruction of Iraq that would guarantee shoddy work, overcharges, 
unfinished projects and overt graft, they would probably devise a system very similar to what 
[Bush has produced] for the past three years. In Baghdad, basics like electricity, sanitation and 
clean drinking water are at lower levels today than they were before the war. A poll last year 
found that after more than two years of work, only 30 percent of Iraqis had any idea that there 
was any kind of reconstruction effort at all. The reconstruction of Iraq has become a boondoggle 
of historic proportions, but make no mistake: It's a boondoggle by design.
 

The BFEE can't make any money in peacetime.
Of course,  bartcop.com  readers knew that years ago.

Demo Wave is Building

 WaHoPo

 Excerpt:
There's probably no way congressional Republicans can lose this fall, no matter how 
unpopular President Bush is or how unhappy the voters are with the war in Iraq. 

That's the prevailing view in Washington today. But it's wrong. If history is any guide, 
we're heading into a major political storm. And that means we could see a national tide 
in November that will sweep the Democrats back into the majority.
 

What people don't get is this:
The Republicans will do anything to win. F-ing anything.

If victory knocks on the Democrats' door 
they'll consider allowing victory to come in, but only if it removes its shoes.

Bush Agrees Osama Helped in '04
 by Robert Parry

 consortiumnews.com

 Excerpt:
CIA analysts concluded that bin-Laden was actually playing a double game, pretending 
to want Bush out when he really hoped Bush would stay in. Bin-Laden was cagy enough 
to realize that his well-timed denunciation of Bush would have a predictable boomerang 
effect and thus help Bush gain a second term.

Bin-Laden's thinking apparently was that Bush's ...bloody occupation of Iraq, would 
continue creating thousands of new extremists to swell the ranks of al-Qaeda while 
also enhancing bin-Laden's personal status in the Islamic world.

Big Bang Theory In Ruins

 WaHoPo

 Excerpt:
The case for reducing our commitment to Iraq is built on a compelling proposition: 
that the administration made a huge bet on Iraq and it lost. American voters can decide 
to keep the gamble going, to risk more lives and money, and hope that something turns up. 
Or they can decide that this gamble will never deliver the winnings that those who took it 
on our behalf promised. By late November of this year, the United States will have been 
at war in Iraq for as long as we were involved in World War II. Under those circumstances, 
the burden of proof should not be on those who argue for changing what we're doing. 
It should be on those who set a failed policy in motion and keep promising, despite the 
evidence, that it will somehow pay off if only we 'stay the course.'

Throwing Lieberman under the bus

 PittsburgHlive.com

 Excerpt:
The race between Ned Lamont and Joe Lieberman is the race for the Democratic Party. 
After Aug. 8, we will know if Ned Lamont is an apparition or the leader of a larger storm 
for the Democratic Party. That larger storm is the anti-war momentum... Lamont is a bellwether. 
It's interesting to watch Democrats on the 2008 presidential wannabe list distance themselves 
from Lieberman. Hillary Clinton went out of her way to be the first to raise the throw-Lieberman
-under-the-bus banner on Independence Day, followed quickly by almost everybody else. 
You just can't buy that kind of loyalty.

I've been to many a Rock and Roll Show and I gotta tell ya the best one I ever saw 
was the Who in St. Louis, sometime in the mid-90s.  I was lucky to get really good seats 
by standing in line at at Ticketwhore outlet the first day they went on sale.  I was even luckier
when I made it to the show just in time to witness the boys launch into Quadrophenia.  

Live horns, stage show, costume changes, etc., etc., of course the Opera in its entirety.
They came back and did a loooooong quasi-acoustic encore.

Still makes me shiver thinkin' 'bout it. . .
