"My preference would be not to hand off anything
to the next president. I'd like for the
next President to come in and say,
'I've got a clean slate and I can put my vision forward.'"
-- Obama, saying he
hopes to be out of Afghanistan when he leasves the White House,
Link
If this was Bush-Cheney, we'd figure they'd want to loot Afghanistan
for the next seven years.
But why is Obama doing it?
Why not get out now and let those soldiers live?

Bloodbath
Coming for Rethugs
by former Bush bastard David Frum
Excerpt:
The Republican fratricide in the November 3 special
election in upstate New York may prove just an opening round
of an even more spectacular bloodbath in Florida
in 2010. In New York, Republican feuding lost the party a House seat.
At stake in Florida is not only a senatorship
-- but very possibly Republican hopes for 2012 as well.
The battle in Florida pits Gov. Charlie Crist
against birther-handjob Marco Rubio. Both men claim to be conservative,
pro-life, tax cutters. On the issues, they would
seem to agree far more than they disagree. But they have disagreed on
Obama's fiscal stimulus. Squeezed by his state's
desperate fiscal condition, Crist endorsed and campaigned for the
Obama stimulus. Inspired by his conservative
ideology, Rubio opposed stimulus.
Now Rubio is the darling of conservatives nationwide.
Just this week it was announced that he would give the keynote
address at next year's annual Conservative Political
Handjob Conference in Washington. He has been profiled on the
cover of National Review, endorsed by the Club
for Growth, and feted by radio talk show hosts.
So Florida will be a rerun of NY-23.
The Palins, Becks and Pigboys will attack Crist
for not being Nazi enough.
In football, when the defense jumps offside, the
offense geta a free play. This is like that.
The Democrat, whoever he/she is, will win Florida's
goober election in 2010.

Subject: Spc. Hutchinson's plight
Bart,
For more than 20 years now, every single parent
in every branch of the military, as well as
military-married-to-military couples with kids,
have had to have a plan in effect for the care
of their children in case of deployment. Specialist
Hutchinson is no exception.
While I feel it is deplorable that her kid is
going into foster care, the situation was 100% preventable
had she just followed the rules the rest of the
thousands of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have to abide by.
Sincerely,
Roy SMSgt. USAF (Ret.)
Roy, you know a thousands times more about this than I do, so let's talk hypotheticals:
Surely out of the millions of deployed soldiers a few have run into
a situation where there
first, second AND third choices to take their kids is suddenly out
of the picture, agree?
Of course the soldier must do everything possible to follow orders
but you can't leave your kids on the side of the road like a broken
Chevy.
(Just kidding, Danny)
We may have thousands of mothers serving overseas in Bush's wars.
Why doesn't the army have a safety net for these mothers?

Rage Grows
In America
Racism, Conspiracy Theories Fuel Anti-Government Fervor
Excerpt:
Rumors about gun confiscations. Angry protests
about the government's tax policies, replete with Nazi comparisons.
A resurgent militia movement. Rage at the
election of a president deemed to be illegitimate and threatening.
Distrust and anger toward the government fueled
by paranoia and conspiracy theories.
They are among the crosscurrents of anger and
hostility that have swept certain sectors of the country since Obama
took office nearly a year ago. And they
are contributing to "a toxic atmosphere of rage in America," according
to the
Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which today issued
a report looking at the various sources that have given rise to a
climate of anti-government fervor in the United
States.
Sonce Obama became president we have seen a tremendous
amount of anger and hostility," said Abraham H. Foxman,
ADL National Director. "There is a toxic
atmosphere of rage in America being witnessed at many levels, and it raises
fundamental questions for our society."
.
The Secret Service says threats to Obama are up 400% over Der Monkey Fuhrer.
I wish the White House would throw some water on this fire.
What's to be gained by letting it grow bigger and hotter?

Fox News caught again
Excerpt
For the second time in just over a week, Fox
News has been caught misusing old news footage.
The latest flap is leading some people to charge
that the cable news network is intentionally misleading
its audience, while Fox claims, with a straight
face, a "production error."
Wednesday's incident occurred when Fox News whore
Gregg Jarrett mentioned that a Sarah Palin book signing
in Grand Rapids, Michigan had a massive turnout.
As footage rolled of goober Palin amidst a throng of fans, Jarrett noted
that she is "continuing to draw huge crowds while
she's promoting her brand-new book,'' adding that the images being shown
were "some of the pictures just coming in to
us.... The lines earlier had formed this morning."
In truth, the video used in the segment was from
a 2008 McCain/Palin campaign rally.
My question is - what's changed?
FOX has been lying their asses off for years and nobody ever said anything
about it.
Now, other whore media outlets are beginning to call their lies - so
what changed?
Was it Team Obama calling attention to their whoreness?
When most pundits said it was wrong to take on FOX, I said it
was the right move.
Fighting back and listing the facts are almost always winners.
"Fighting
back? What's that?"

The New
Star Trek Movie
(Two-Disc
Digital Copy Edition) -
$19.99
J.J. Abrams' 2009 feature film was billed as
"not your father's Star Trek," but Dad will love it anyway.
It has enough action, emotional impact, humor,
and sheer fun for any moviegoer.
It is a stirring tale of genocide and revenge
launched by a Romulan who hates Spock
and the actress playing Uhura looks great
in her underwear.
The action and visuals make for a spectacular
Big-Screen Movie.
Quotes
"The Institute for the Study of Sarah Palin
might conclude that she represents the exact moment important
Republicans gave up on democracy. She
was clearly seen as an empty vessel who could be controlled by her
intellectual betters.
(That would be everyone in America.) These
include the editorial boards of the Weekly Standard
and the Wall Street Journal, neither
of which would hire Palin to make an editorial judgment but both of which
would be thrilled to see her as president.
It does not bother these people in the least that the woman is a
demagogue -- remember "death panels"?
-- and not, on the face of it, very responsible."

Subject: your Dylan concert review in BCR 159
Bart, it's always good to hear a fresh radio show, thanks.
I must agree with your summary of Bob Dylan's
shows.
Your familiarity with previous arrangements to
his songs lead to expectations unmet.
I have seen him a few times, and every time he
mumbled like he had a mouthful of oatmeal.
I also think that he just does not care, and
is doing it for the money.
Given the opportunity to see him free, second
row, I would consider going,
but I would also consider not going as if you've
seen him once, that is plenty.

If Dylan put some effort into his live shows he might
be able to sell enough tickets to fill a 2,800 seat venue.

KBR Loses $3M in Rape case
Excerpt:
A woman who claimed she was raped in 2005 while
working in Iraq for Cheney's Halliburton has been awarded
nearly $3 million by an arbitrator to settle
her case.
Tracy Barker sued Halliburton in May 2007, claiming
she was sexually attacked by a State Department employee
while working as a civilian contractor in the
southern Iraqi city of Basra.
A federal judge in Bush-friendly Houston had dismissed
Barker's lawsuit in January 2008, ruling she had to abide by
an employment agreement she signed that made
drugged-rape legal as a form of entertainment for Halliburton employees.
Court records filed this week show Barker was
awarded a judgment of $2.93 million to settle her arbitration claim against
KBR.
But this is hardly a deterrent for Halliburton to stop their rapes.
Remember, they got secret, off-the-books, no-bid, wartime government
contracts for eight years.
This is like fining Charlie Sheen $2 for drunk driving.

Subject: Intellectuals
Bart, you wrote:
"People who believe in science and math are "elite intellectuals" and that makes 'em .." Democrats!!!
Have you noticed how few "intellectuals" there
are in the Republican Party? Seriously, they are a bunch of rednecks,
skinheads, racists, mysoginists, and uneducated
simpletons. And, like Beck and Limbaugh, they are too stupid
to realize it.
Their IQ hovers around their belt size.
It blows me away how really moronic they are. These are on the lower
end of the
scale of humanity. They cannot be educated.
They will never change.
On the other hand, Democrats have many intellectuals
in their ranks. I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of professors
in any accredited college or university is a
Democrat. The same goes for the majority of any profession such as
medicine, for example.
People who can think are unable to be anything
else!

That's why ther Pigboys and the Becks pretend to be Rethugs.
They couldn't sell their race-based hatred to educated Democrats.

Fort Bragg vs Caribou Barbie
Excerpt:
Sarah Palin kicked off her book tour in Michigan
this week, and thousands gathered chanting her name,
giving the event the feel of a political pep
rally. The Army wants her appearance at Fort Bragg on Monday to be much
quieter.
The base has asked Palin not to make a speech
at a public book-signing at the base exchange; she also will not write
personal notes, pose for photographs or sign
anything besides her new memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Life."
They've also asked her to keep her top on the
entire day.
Fort Bragg also wanted to bar reporters from the
event. Garrison Commander Col. Stephen J. Sicinski determined that
by keeping out the media, that would prevent
Palin from having a platform from which to attack our Commander-in-Chief.

Rep Foxx: GOP gave us civil rights
Excerpt:
During a debate on the House floor today over
designating 21 miles of the Molalla River as “wild and scenic,”
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), who opposes the legislation,
tried to claim a progressive environmental record for her party.
“Actually, the GOP has been the leader in starting
good environmental programs in this country,” said Foxx.
Foxx then extended her claims of the GOP’s progressive
history to the issue of civil rights. “Just as we were the people
who passed the civil rights bills back in the
’60s without very much help from our colleagues across the aisle,” said
Fox.
“They love to engage in revisionist history.”
When Foxx finally yielded her time on the floor, Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-CA)
passionately rebuked her:
CARDOZA: Today, what I’m hearing on the floor
really takes the cake. The gentlelady from North Carolina, in her
statement just now, indicated that the Republican
GOP had passed the Civil Rights Act legislation with almost no help
from the Democrats. I can’t believe my ears.
It was the Kennedy and Johnson administration where we passed that
Great Society legislation. It was over the objections
of people like Jesse Helms from the gentlewoman’s state that
we passed that civil rights legislation. John
Lewis…
FOXX: Would, would the gentleman yield?
CARDOZA: No, I will not yield. John Lewis, a member
of this House, was beaten on the Edmund Pettus bridge
to get that civil rights legislation passed.
Tell John Lewis that he wasn’t part of getting that legislation passed.
When she was given a chance to respond, Foxx could only say that Jesse Helms wasn’t elected to the Senate until 1972.

Wesley Clark: Get out of Afghanistan
Excerpt:
Retired Gen. Wesley Clark has some advice for
Congress: Start planning an exit strategy from Afghanistan.
It is no surprise that Clark’s comments have been
ignored by the mainstream media. It seems that anyone who
speaks out against the occupation of Afghanistan
and Iraq is marginalized by the corporate media. But if they
have credibility, like Gen. Clark, they are totally
ignored.
Clark reminded Congress of the “legacy of Vietnam”
in considering the US strategy in Afghanistan. He said Obama
should take time in developing an Afghanistan
strategy and said that any troop increase should wait until a firm endgame
has been established for U.S. involvement in
the country. He said, “the legacy of Vietnam really looms over these discussions.
It’s particularly painful for me to see where
we are in Afghanistan.”
I really want Obama to do the right thing and get out of both wars.
Taming Afghanistan is like taming the sand in
a desert - there's nothing to tame.
Why waste billions of dollars and all those lives
for nothing?

The Alaskan Shoot-Out
Excerpt:
She is the bespectacled, wolf-wasting ex-governor
that
very well may be insane. He is the antler-littering,
alleged drug-dealing drop-out that is delusional
enough to think he has a shot at showbiz. Together, the brain trust
of Sarah Palin and Levi Johnston make up one
of the more fatuous and entertaining
feuds of 2009. With her book
to pedal, and his Playgirl spread to push, both
are in the news again firing off their pop-guns at one another. Such slimy
promotion for sales wouldn’t be necessary had
she done Playboy and he penned a tell-all tome. As it stands now,
both are clawing for a bit of the celebrity spotlight.
She is posing as a pious politico and he as a provocative punk.

care, have to make sure that candidates who
support our point of view wins the elections
over the candidates who sell out to the insurance industry.
We have to commit to vote for people these people,
work for these people, and donate to these people,
because if they win election then we lose. And
we need to make sure that the candidates understand that
if health care reform fails, or they vote against

The Virtue of Shutting Up
Excerpt;
Criticism has its place, of course. And yet,
on Palin I've come to favor a different approach - one that refuses to
collude with
the media-driven farce. To respond to an opponent,
even harshly, even rudely, is to accord her a certain respect - to treat
her
as worthy of a response. But Palin is worthy
of no such thing. She stands for nothing beyond her own self-promotion.
She craves
attention, and negative attention is a form of
attention. Even ridicule can be a form of flattery. Better to bow out,
to decline the
provocation, since responding to her perpetuates
and legitimates the illusion that she’s a serious player in our nation’s
politics.
I, for one, refuse to play that silly little
game. And I wish more of her critics felt the same way. Instead of wasting
their analytical
and polemical talents on the topic, they could
work to change the subject to something more substantive and deny Palin
what
she most greedily craves: the spotlight.
But to comedians she's a vein of gold a mile long and a football field
wide.
