to provide the military victory that is always just

bottomless pit of our dreams?"

Bush/Cheney
Dig in to Win
by
Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Having solidified support among congressional
Republicans and still backed by a powerful right-wing
news media, Bush and Cheney appear to have concluded
that they can force congressional Democrats
to back down over legislative language seeking
a phased withdrawal from Iraq.
If Bush succeeds and wrests the war funding from
Congress without strings attached, Bush's supporters
will tout his success as a political rebound.
Republican strategists also hope the expected Democratic
humiliation will drive a wedge between the national
Democrats and the party's staunchly anti-war base.
Already, prominent Democrats, such as Levin and
Obama have drawn criticism from the base for showing
a readiness to run up a white flag rather than
face a continued barrage of accusations about undercutting the
troops. Those signals have reinforced White House
confidence than Bush can prevail.
It would be great if we could shrug off the "surrender" label we own
after all these years.
Is there anything that could make the Democrats come to work
and do their jobs?

The Sewer of Right Wing Hate Radio
Excerpt:
MediaMatters has a tremendous post here that makes an excellent point:
the cleaning up of American radio
cannot logically end with the elimination of
Don Imus. In fact, for years the (Republican) elephant in the media
room has been the astonishing outpouring of the
most vile bigotry and slander by the radical right on the nation's
airwaves. The phrase "liberal media" has always
been a fiction, but no more so than in regard to radio.

Subject: let's repeal the GOP's 'ban on poker'
Barney Frank will push to repeal the Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act if
the public outcry for a repeal is strong enough.
Thus, I have created the 'Public Outcry Campaign'.
The campaign needs to reach the masses.
We need for all US citizens call their representatives
every day to let them know the public wants change.
This
link explains how to call representatives along with five talking
points.

When Bush ran in 2000, he said, "You know better
how to spend your money than the government,"
and then they snuck this stinking bill in the "Safe Port Act," as tho
taking away my poker fun was going to
somehow make our ports safer.
When it comes to poker, I'm for less government.
Bush, Tortureboy discussed fired attys?
Excerpt:
New details emerging suggest that Tortureboy
Gonzales and perhaps Bush were more active than
they've acknowledged in the firings last year
of eight U.S. attorneys, lawmakers said Monday.
Gonzales will be under pressure to explain those
contradictions when he testifies Thursday.
Tortureboy also faced more pressure after a group
of conservatives that includes Bruce Fein
sent a letter Monday to Bush calling for Tortureboy's
resignation "for the good of the country."
Let's just charge Gonzales with perjury and let a jury figure it out.

Subject: tobacco
When I was in basic training 40 years ago, our
incentive for passing our ten day inspection was
"smokes, cokes, and jokes." How many GI's
have became addicted to tobacco after joining the service?
It seems that the service is a major recruiting
grounds for the future of the tobacco companies.
How many veterans lose their lives to smoking
related cancers and heart disease?
I would venture to guess that more GI's have
died due to smoking than actual warfare.

U.S. troop deaths climbing in Iraq
Excerpt:
Over the past six months, American troops have
died in Iraq at the highest rate since the war began,
offering proof that that Bush's bloody quagmire
is becoming increasingly dangerous for U.S. forces even
after more than four years of fighting. From
October 2006 through last month, 532 American soldiers
were killed, the most during any six-month period
of the war. March also marked the first time that the
U.S. military suffered four straight months of
80 or more fatalities. April, with at least 58 service members
killed through Monday, is on pace to be one of
the deadliest months of the conflict for American forces.
Isn't every day "Virginia Tech Day" in Iraq?
How many months in a row can thousands of car bombs explode?
How can anyone retain their sanity in a city like that?
I didn't know this was coming when I wrote that:
Iraq Has Two Virginia Techs Every Day
Excerpt:
I keep hearing that the "situation is improving"
in Iraq. The horrific shootings at Virginia Tech should give us a
baseline for what the Iraqis are actually living
through. They have two Virginia Tech-style attacks every single day.
We Americans can so easily, with a shudder, imagine
the college student trying to barricade himself behind a door
against the armed madman without. But can we
put ourselves in the place of Iraqi students?

You're a Monster, Mr. President
Excerpt:
Each day it becomes clearer what a great national
shame is the presidency of George W. Bush.
Whether it's the illegal, incompetent, dishonest
prosecution of the war in Iraq - where a member of
the "freely elected government" we're so darned
proud of just led a protest of thousands against U.S.
presence and regularly incites, if not commits,
violence against troops; where the most visible result
of the "Surge" has been a suicide bombing inside
parliament - or the silly defense of an Attorney General
who promotes torture and lies (yes, it's documented:
lies) to Congress, it is now undeniable that our
country is being led by a soulless, self-adoring
crook who cares nothing about average citizens,
American history, or the rule of law.

Subject: the V-Tech shootings
My father had asked me if I could take the day
off because he needed me to drive him into Roanoke
to pick up his new car. He ordered the
BMW months ago and was anxious to get it. As we dove
out of town we saw a swarm of police and emergency
vehicles tearing past in the opposite direction.
"What's that all about, d'ya think?' was my fathers query.
We were under weather advisory for high winds
and my thought was that it might have been an
auto accident caused by the strong gusts.
It was about five minutes after that the radio reported
a killing at the West Ambler Johnson dorm.
We had picked up the car and were shopping in
Circuit City when the tragic number jumped
from 1 to 21. On our drive home it soared
to over 30 with many injured.
My niece attends the university and lives in the dorms. We heard from my sister that she was safe.
My father works in Norris Hall. He was relieved
to find out that his close friends were safe,
it will remain to be seen if he knows a victim.
I had been called and offered a substitute position
that morning and begged off. If I hadn't
taken the day and been available to go to Roanoke,
my father would have likely gone to campus.
Bush says that the second amendment is practically
a commandment.
Those 31 students might have disagreed, we'll

It's OK to disagree with Sharpton, but "greasy" is not a good word to
use
when referring to a person of color.
And by the way, "Hymietown" is 19 years old, but you watch:
When Jesse Jackson dies, the whore media's first sentence will be.
"Jesse Jackson, who refered to New York as
'Hymietown,' died today."
What's the statute of limitations on one-time verbal mistakes?
Ronald Reagan announced his run for president in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
To quote TIME
Whore Magazine,
"As a young congressman, Trent Lott was among
those who urged Reagan to deliver his first
major campaign speech in Philadelphia, Mississippi,
where three civil rights workers were murdered
in one of the 1960s' ugliest cases of racist
violence. It was a ringing declaration of his support for
"states' rights" - code for resistance to black
advances clearly understood by white Southern voters."
Reagan signaled his ringing declaration for disliking
black
people,
but Sharpton and Jackson get stuck with the "racist" label.
Maybe if the GOP was less into honoring the lynching of blacks,
people like Jackson and Sharpton would be able to calm down a little.

Subject: Imus
Am I the only liberal that thinks Don Imus should not have been fired?
No, I think that's the logical liberal position.
When I first heard it, I didn't think it was
much of a story.
I was surprised when the story continued to build
and
gain momentum.
Yeah, he is a crazy right wing fuck (who actually
does give decent interviews) who says a bigoted things.
I think he happened to say this on a slow news
day, and he got called out on this one. We have freedom
of speech, but that means nothing if you don't
defend it for the douchebag Don Imus's of the world.
I agree.
Recently I said when you read or hear the language
most Americans use,
that tells you you're probably getting uncensored
talk and ideas.
We need crazy fucks like Imus in a free society so we are constantly forced to re-evaluate our opinions.
Freedom of speech is one of the pet concepts of
modern liberalism. With some exceptions,
I generally don't believe that people should
lose their jobs for saying crazy, stupid shit.
Capitalism is the new censorship.
David in Durango
Imus's biggest problem is he works for NBC and has "respectable" people
on his show.
To some degree, NBC called those girls "nappy headed hos" and advertisers
stayed away in droves.
Odd Fact:
If we can trust Reuters (Can we? I don't remember them being Cock Central
in 1998)
they
say Halle Berry is shaving her head to star in a film titled "Nappily
Ever After."
You know me - never looking for a fight - but either "nappy"
is an insult or it's not.
If it's not, all Imus has to apologize for is the "Hos," which he couldn't
have meant literally.

Halliburton Leaves Iran
Excerpt:
Halliburton said that its subsidiary that does
business in Iran had completed all its commitments
and was no longer working in the country. In
January 2005, the company, once (?) led by Cheney,
said that it would not accept new work in Iran
but that it would complete existing contracts there.
American companies are forbidden under United
States law from doing business in Iran, but when has
the law ever stopped a thug like Dick Cheney?
Halliburton claims that its operations in Iran, handled
through a Dubai office, were legal because they
were isolated from American operations and management.
Oh, so THAT'S how Cheney sold Iran oil field equipment when doing business
with them was illegal.
He hired middlemen so he could semi-honestly say, "*I*
didn't do business with terrorists."

But I understand that your grief and your rage

Yes sir, I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong.
More guns are the answer not less.
In fact, the government should demand that everyone

You're walking farther down a dead end path.
Why not stop now and save yourself the time &

There were probably 150 million guns in America
before I was born.
That's as much my fault as Original Sin.
Do you live in a fantasy America were there aren't
200 million guns?
Barking at me does nothing to further a "no guns"
agenda.
I'm now going out to vote for John McCain who
said he stands by Second Amendment rights,

Impeachment:
A Duty, Not an Option
by Carla Binion
Excerpt:
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney deceived Congress
and the American people into supporting
their unlawful invasion of Iraq. Their
abuse of power continues. They should be impeached, not for
partisan reasons, but to maintain our constitutional
system and to deter future leaders from abusing power.
Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. discussed Richard Nixon's
expansion and abuse of presidential power in
"The Imperial Presidency." Schlesinger said the
question of impeachment "was more than whether
Congress and the people wanted to deal with the
particular iniquities of the Nixon administration.
It was whether they wished to rein in the runaway
Presidency."
Today's runaway Presidency is far from reined
in. Bush and Cheney are emboldened by the fact that
they've managed to get away with the high crime
of lying to Congress in order to dupe the nation into war.
They keep escalating the conflict, peddling the
same distortions and propaganda they've used all along.
Bush and Cheney function as kings. This isn't
what America's founders had in mind.

Bart, WTF is all this comparing the Duke 3 to
the Rutgers women
and then saying one is worse like the other doesn't
matter?
They were connected by race and time. There's
nothing wrong with comparing events.
If I get 90 days in jail for spitting on the
sidewalk and you get probation for stealing a car,
I'm going to compare those two to demonstrate
my unfair sentence.
Is it now okay to love and excuse Mussolini because Hitler and Stalin were so much worse?
I say no.
Both events were despicable, and yes the rape
accusations were worse,
but that doesn't excuse racism on the public
airwaves.
I haven't heard much of Imus (He puts me to sleep)
but his off-the-cuff racist comments
have little in common with a crazy prosecutor
railroading three innocent men for a year.
While we are comparing and contrasting these separate
and unrelated events,
we should note that the basketball item was purely
recreational and the lacrosse episode
was a complete failure of a district attorney
to correctly perform his job.
E.L.
The district attorney had Bush's problem: He was so far in, he couldn't
get out.
He was in so deep, he wasn't able to admit he was wrong and the Duke
3 suffered for it.
