Lessons Learned
 
  larison.org

 Excerpt:
One of my other false beliefs connected to this was that most conservatives were conservatives first and 
GOP partisans second (if at all), and would therefore be just as outraged by GOP government activism and 
overreach as they had been in the 1990s.  This was the worst sort of naivete on my part, and it was repeatedly 
shown to be false.  To point out that some of the same people who wanted to attack Iraq opposed aggression 
against Yugoslavia was almost useless  - partisans are well aware that they use a double standard, and they 
have no problem with it. Again, I mistook the attitudes of conservatives whom I knew for what was true for 
"conservatives" generally - this was just sloppy analysis."

Al Qaeda's Best Publicist
 
 WaHoPo

 Excerpt:
Like any terrorist organization, al-Qaeda wants attention. 
It wants to be perceived as powerful. And it wants Americans to live in fear.

Could al-Qaeda possibly have found a better publicist than President Bush?

What effect would a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq really have on al-Qaeda? Is it true that "surrendering 
the future of Iraq to al Qaida would be a disaster for our country," as Bush admonished yesterday?

Bush's predictions about the region have been uniformly abysmal, so the opposite may be at least as likely. 
And in that scenario, a U.S. troop withdrawal would rob al-Qaeda of its greatest recruiting tool. It would 
also free American and Iraqi fighters to hunt down bin Laden and his fellow vermin wherever they are and 
give them what they deserve -- which is not publicity, but ignominy and extinction.

Subject: She came to WV 

Bart, Senator Clinton came to West-by-Koresh-Virginia Friday.  Quite a turnout.  
 
I really wish she hadn't cabbaged onto the "it's the Iraqis' fault" talking point as the reason it's time to leave Iraq.  
As I read that, I couldn't help seeing that photo you've run of that Iraqi father carrying what used to be his daughter.  
I wonder how Senator Clinton thinks the problem there is those folks' fault.
 
Then again, maybe blaming the Iraqis for the BFEE's war of profit is the only way to get us out.  
Koresh knows no Bush has ever taken personal responsibility for his actions.  
That daughterless father will just have to take "personal responsibility" for his daughter 
getting blown into bits by "the land of the free and the home of the brave."
 
In the end, I have to say that "President Clinton" beats the dickens out of "President Dog-on-the-Car" 
or "President Drag Queen" or "President I-Married-A-Pole-Dancer" or "President Manchurian Candidate."  
Thus, will I vote for Her if offered the opportunity to do so in the general election.
 Bob
 

Bob, your first paragraph scared me.
but you answered your question in paragraph two.

Quotes

"Going up against (Sopranos star) Galdolfini is like going up against Babe Ruth.
  You can't say who's better than anybody. His show is the reason the rest of
  out other shows exist. So give him the Emmy."
    -- Denis Leary, on his chances of winning "Best Actor in a TV Drama" 
 

He's right - without the anti-Hero Tony Soprano, we wouldn't have The Shield,
we wouldn't have House, or Shark, or Rescue Me - some of the best shows on TV.

But Leary deserves it - he had a much better year than Gandolfini 
who deserved to win the Emmy in 2000, 2001 and 2002.

Subject: Bush will step down before 2009?

Bart, what comes after that?

If this criminal voluntarily steps down (if that's what you mean I doubt it - but who knows with this sicko)
that leaves the Dick. Do you think Go Cheney Yourself will 'officially' ever be the president?
How could he be? He's not part of the Executive branch.

I do think it is possible that if the (fill in whatever adjectives you like) Dems actually fought for
our Constitution and our way of life, he would be FORCED to resign over the scandals.
I can't stand that even this Gonzo crappola is not being treated as it should.

I want to hear it on-air that he is NOT being kept because bushie likes him;
he's there as the LAST wall to block the investigations going right to Bush and Cheney.

Could you imagine if we had a real AG in there? Heck even Ashcroft, of all people,
had a respect for the Constitution of the United States.

I wish Ashcroft would be public on his view of all this bullshit.

So in your prediction, you're not betting on the ( fill in at will ) Dems fighting are you?
-E.
 

I admit, it's just a suspicion, but I think the Kuwaitis owe the BFEE say, a trillion dollars
for fencing the five-year oil rape that has murdered 3700 America soldiers and 600K Iraqis.

Once Bush is a retired, how can he ensure Kuwait pays them off?
He's got to get paid, off, retire, and then move to Paraguay
while he's still Commander in Chief  - or go to prison for his crimes.

He needs to get his $1Trillion wire transfer AND THEN he retires and leaves the country.
Cheney leaves with him, putting President Pelosi in the White House 6 months before Hillary's coronation.

They steal a trillion dollars, without much of a downside,

and they throw the Dems into severe disarray pitting President Pelosi against Her.

Vet suicides to climb

 startribune.com

 Excerpt:
An Iraq war veteran from Mountain Iron, Minn. reported missing in northern Minnesota has been found dead,
said deputy Joe Skofich of the St. Louis County Sheriff said.

Pierce, 23, went missing after he sent several friends text messages that he was suicidal.
Pierce was last seen leaving home with a .38 caliber revolver and a 30.06 rifle, the sheriff said.
 

"You can't blame me for this - he was weak!"

Bribing the poor to gamble their lives

 armytimes.com

 Excerpt:
The Army is offering seasonal enlistment bonuses of up to $20,000 for various categories of recruits
who agree to enter active duty by Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year. The seasonal bonuses may be combined
with the regular incentives of up to $25,000, depending on specialty and length of enlistment.

The total bonus amount may not exceed $20,000 for a two-year enlistment, $25,000
for a three-year hitch and $40,000 for enlistments of four, five and six years.
 

I can hear the young couple arguing.
"But Honey, if I sign up for one more tour, we'll have $40,000 to put down on a house."

But what good is $40,000 if you come home in a body bag?

U.S. stock rally fizzles

 Link

 Excerpt:
U.S. stocks plunged again Friday following Thursday's sell-off which took the DJIA down 311 points
for its second worst day of the year. Anxiety about shaky credit markets and the troubled housing sector
are now sweeping over Wall Street.

We warned that Dow 14,000 was not a milestone, but rather a mirage concocted of smoke and mirrors.

One week ago the Dow hit a new nominal high of 14,000, 17% above its March 2000 peak of 11,722.
But after adjusting for inflation, the Dow still needs to rise another 4% to 14,200 to reach the same level
it was SEVEN YEARS AGO! Whoopee! Champaign anyone?
 

Is this right?
Should we bet on stocks or is the market primed to fall?

If we had a Money/Stocks blogger, we could ask him/her, but nooo.

Subject: Tillman

Let's say I buy into the murder theory concerning Pat Tillman's death.
That leads me to the inevitable - why?
 Greg
 

I doubt there was a conspiracy to kill him - it might have been a case where a bunch of
trained killers with itchy trigger fingers snapped under pressure and then they covered it up.

They said some of his last words were, "Shut up and stop sniveling."
Maybe you don't say that to a trained killer who's having a really bad day.

Also, *I* didn't say something funny happened to Tillman - the autopsy records say so.

Republican Chutzpah Watch

 washingtonmonthly.com

 Excerpt:
You have to give Republicans points for consistency. They bring the Senate to a halt and then blame 
Democrats for not getting anything done. They destroy FEMA's ability to respond to natural disasters 
and then hold it up as an example of why you can't trust government to do anything right. They lose 
a war via unparalleled military incompetence and then claim that liberals are defeatists for pointing it out. 
They spend 20 years claiming that Social Security is going bankrupt and then use the resulting public 
insecurity about Social Security as an explanation for why the whole system needs to be privatized.

Will the press help them pass along their latest ode to chutzpah?
Or will they instead give it the mockery it deserves?

Subject: Of course Gonzales is going to lie

People seem surprised when AG Alberto Gonzales lies to Congress as if they expect him to tell the truth. 
Why should he tell the truth? After all, who is going to investigate him? 

The Justice Department? 
He is the Justice Department. 

And even if he were investigated, brought to trial and convicted of perjury he'd never go to jail
because Bush would pardon him just like he did for Scooter Libby.  So Gonzales and anyone in 
the Bush administration can break the law with impunity and get away with it.

The Democrats don't have the votes to impeach Bush and Cheney.  The Democrats want to impeach 
Bush but nothing is going to happen unless the Republicans decide to stop the lawlessness too. 
The Republicans are the ones allowing Bush to flaunt the law. We need to hold the GOP 
accountable for allowing the Bush administration to act lawlessly.

Subject: Health Insurance in Peru

Bart, I haven't been able to listen to your show for a long time, due to problems with receiving my
household goods from customs.  I got through that a few weeks ago, so I am listening to show 121, 
with emphasis on health insurance.

That was one of my fabulous "theme shows," that people like so much.
 
I now have health insurance in Peru.  However, prior conditions are not covered.  
Tell me how many people you know who are 50 years old who do not have prior health conditions!
 
I hear that - 50 years old is like 200,000 miles on a Chevy Impala.

Anyone who does not understand the implications of this kind of insurance has to be a f-king republitard.  
If I was a stockholder in a health insurance company, exclusion of prior existing conditions would be a gift from heaven!  
Talk about stacking the deck!
 
Hammer away hombre!
 Ron in Lima 
 

I'll tell you what the bastards did to me, back in the early nineties. We were stuck with "private insurance," 
or whatever it's called when you're just a dude writing checks and not part of a big company.

One day my insurance agent told me the company I was insured with went out of business,
but he could sign me up with a similiar company - minus the "prior existing conditions," of course.

And believe it or not, I was even stupider back then than I am now, so I fell for it.
Insurance companies make too much money to go out of business, but what choice did I have?

It's a big crooked mess that needs to be fixed.
Maybe if our next president has a veto-proof congress she can get this done.

...unless the Dems stab her in the back like they did to Bill.

Bush sells Saudis $20B worth of arms 
 I wonder how big a 'finders fee' he demanded?

 truthout.org

 Excerpt:
Bush is preparing to ask Congress to approve an arms sale package for Saudi Arabia and its neighbors 
that is expected to eventually total $20 billion at a time when some United States officials contend that 
the Saudis are playing a counterproductive role in Iraq.

The proposed package of advanced weaponry for Saudi Arabia, which includes advanced satellite-guided bombs, 
upgrades to its fighters and new naval vessels, has made Israel and some of its supporters in Congress nervous. 
Senior officials who described the package on Friday said they believed that the administration had resolved those 
concerns, in part by promising Israel $30.4 billion in military aid over the next decade, a significant increase over 
what Israel has received in the past 10 years.
 

Well sure, that way Bush can double his 'finders fee."

He sells weapons to the Saudis so they can supply the Sunnis.
He sells weapons to Israel so they can ward off the Sunnis and Shias.
Any bets that Chalabi and Khashoggi are selling our top weapons to Iran?

The more arms Bush sells, the more money he makes, the wider the wars get,
and the price of oil skyrockets and the B.F.E.E. is sitting on all that oil they stole.

Subject: concert review

Dweezil Zappa put together a band that is playing all of Frank's best stuff.  
These folks are all top shelf players and Dweezil is every bit as good a player as his dad.

They played about a 3 hour show at the Lyric Opera House Friday night. 
They did most of the stuff I like including Yo Mama, Willie the Pimp, 
Montana, Carolina Hardcore, Pygmy Twilight.
Of course the highlight of the show was the "Illinois Enema Bandit"

You can see some video clips at  Frankzappa.com  under the ZPZ section.
Check out the version of "Zombie Wolf" with Steve Vai sitting in on guitar.

I'd pay to see that show.

Sicko spurs action

 Link
    
 Excerpt:
I live in Texas. So when I went to see Sicko for a second time, I wasn't sure what to expect from the audience. 
I wasn't watching it downtown, where the elitist liberals congregate. I went to a random mall.

A typical Texas guy sat down behind me and never stopped talking. He talked through the entire movie and I listened. 
The first twenty minutes he spent badmouthing Moore and snorting in disgust whenever MM did a monologues. But as the 
movie wore on his protestations less enthusiastic. Somewhere, maybe at the half way point, Sicko changed this man's mind. 
By the forty-five minute mark, he was breaking into spontaneous applause. He started shouting out "hell yeah!" at the screen, 
as if the whole world flipped upside down. This is Texas, where people support the president and voting democratic is 
something only done by the terrorists. Michael Moore should be public enemy number one.

Whore CNN: No Impeachment Qs in debate
 They do everything they can to protect Bush

 Link

 Excerpt:
Beyond the surface, a televised repackaging of YouTube's format and technology in which "real people"
ask real questions, Monday's CNN/YouTube Democratic debate offered nothing substantively new.

Why? Because Whore Anderson Cooper and Whore CNN took it upon themselves to vet those real questions 
from real people and chose the ones they saw fit for primetime. As a consequence, one of the most popular 
questions, one about impeachment, wren't allowed to air. Though it would've been nice of them to make clear 
to all citizens during the debate that this question had been smothered by CNN.

Iraq Parliament on Vacation
 While are troops bake in the hot sun

 Excerpt:
Your country is in chaos. There are daily suicide bombers killing hundreds of innocent civilians every day. 
Two of the largest factions in your country are in the midst of a sick and bloody civil war. Outside influences
are trying to take over your country for their own evil deeds. You are supposed to be a person of responsibility.  
You are a part of the new national government. What do you do to stop the violence and chaos that threatens 
to destroy your country? You go on vacation for a month.
 

They learned that from Bush.
