Just for fun, I was listening to Limbaugh today on the way home for lunch. He was on a tirade about the HCR legislation signing ceremony today which he described as "a Star Wars Bar Scene..."
Limbaugh quote

OK, who could possibly have been at the ceremony to elicit this response from the BFI? So I have images people with artificial limbs, or heads, or Parkinson's patients with active twitches... what sorts of folks who are struggling with an unfortunate hand of cards is Rush making fun of now.

As you have probably seen, its a group of AMERICANS... of various colors, both genders, and a wide range of ages who are there for the signing. Pic of signing wish I could figure out how to post it right here... sorry.

I just have to vent my frustration somewhere. Sorry this is a not a long analytical piece with lots of links, but I think it is worth putting out there as a clear example of corporate DC beltway Democrats' attitude towards us.

Here it is, Sunday morning in NH and the call comes in ... " this is so and so from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, may I speak with ....."

So she goes on to let me know the call may be recorded (I hope so, and I hope the DCCC is reading this diary and going back to the call!). She starts to plead with me about how we "have to hang on to the house" with this pathetic voice, as if we are about to lose the house to those fast gaining Republicans or something. I couldn’t believe the tone she took on this, so weak and pleading. This should have been my first clue.

A friend of mine and I are having a discussion on taxes. He recently announced to me that he had only paid less than 20 (yes twenty) dollars of federal income tax out of about 85,000 dollar income. This person is a Republican and seemed pleased to be paying so little taxes.

Below is my response to my friend. Read More

Many have seen the "Sodomized Virgin Exception" on several blogs recently.

Well, I sent it to my brother, who is a conservative christian, and in many ways a reasonable guy. I sent it in the context of how polarized the two sides of this debate have become, and how much anger there is, while no one is really solving the issue of abortions, which of course all of us would like to reduce.

He sent me the response below. Please help me. Where do I start? So much steam is coming from my ears I can't think straight. What can I say to him? Perhaps no response is the best thing. The chasm between us on this issue, and the related issue of human sexuality, is so large its like trying to leap accross the grand canyon. Read More

CNN mis-translated Iranian President?

My husband and I were startled to see this reported on our local news station the other night, and I expected to see something in Dkos about it but I must have missed it. Perhaps others missed it too and it is worth bringing forth again. As I'm home with flu, there is time to figure out all the html systems to try to write a diary.

Remember when it was all over the Traditional Media that the Iranian president declared Iran's right to make nuclear weapons? Apparently CNN messed up the translation. Ooops. Read More

What I want to know... Why Cheney so afraid of being linked w/ Wilson's trip?

Maybe I just don't get it, but why was Cheney been so afraid of being seen as providing any impetus for Wilson's trip to Niger.

Sure, it makes him look like a fool for not listening to Wilson when he got back with the news there was nothing there.

But is that enough to spark the apparent panic about any possible link between Wilson's trip and Cheney's curiousity about what really happened in Niger?

Maybe I just can't imagine the mind of a neocon quite well enough, but take a look at this part of today's WaPo article and tell me what you think.

What do you suppose Bush has on Tony Blair? That is the only thing I can think of when reading this article in the Independent that says Tony is changing his stance on Global warming.

He used to be a world leader pushing for international treaties to slow this problem. Now he is reversing himself. Read More

You all really need to read this. Digby brought this to our attention just today, and his post has been mentioned here, but only briefly.

This is not "new" news, but I had not heard about it before. Way back in 2003 a colonel Gardiner did some research and came up with 50 stories leaked to the media that are provable as false, and all designed to influence public opinion before the war.

After the jump is a tidbit. But I encourage you to alse read Digby, as he can write articulately about what all this means. Read More

Really, does W believe what he is saying? If we take Sy Hersh at his word, Bush truly believes in his mission to spread "freedom and democracy" throughout the world.

What I want to know, is exactly how far removed from reality is our president? When he dismisses Amnesty International's report as "absurd" does he believe himself, or does he know he's lying?

That's a simple question. Does he know he's a liar? This is what I'm always asking myself. Does anyone else wonder too? Read More

Why I don't believe in God. (or more specifically, why I don't believe in a Christian God)

Disclamer: This is not meant to insult Christians, though some may be insulted by some of what I say here. This is just an attempt to share my thoughts and to prompt discussion. It is a diary of my beliefs. Christians and others of faith, are welcome to share theirs.

I understand why the religious right is waging a war against science. It is true science has destroyed religion for me. Science is the culprit. The more I learned about how the world worked, the less believable became the religious paradigm. Read More

Fourth man indicted in Republican phone-jamming scheme

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- A fourth man has been charged with taking part in a Republican scheme to jam Democrats' get-out-the-vote phone lines on Election Day 2002.

Shaun Hansen, of Spokane, Wash., headed a former telemarketing company that placed hundreds of hang-up calls to five phone lines run by Democrats and one run by the Manchester firefighters union.

Prosecutors say Hansen's Mylo Enterprises of Sandpoint, Idaho, was hired by Republican operatives to place the calls.

Hansen is accused of violating a federal law that forbids placing anonymous telephone calls to annoy or harass someone. He has not entered a plea, but is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Concord on May 9.
