In the spirit of the new, more aggressive (in the good sense of the term) Dem/Obama adds being discussed today, I came up with a slogan of my own, which I think would be really effective and kill McCain's "Country First" theme, which we all know is really about pointing out Barak's "otherness", pushing the idea that he's not one of us.

I'd love to see Barak and the Dems use it: "McCain: Country club first."

I haven't seen any diaries specifically on this topic, please let me know if I've missed it.

I want to discuss the Israel-Lebanon situation in general and the deafening silence from our political leaders which leaves me completely dumbfounded. Read More

Today, Bush lies again to the world and to Americans.

Quote from the AP:

http://news.yahoo.com/...

"Our country is at war and our government has the obligation to protect the American people," Bush said. "Any activity we conduct is within the law. We do not torture."

Short diary, shoot me, but I'd be interested in the answer to this question.

Bush and McLellan said a number of times that Miers was the best candidate avaialable at the time she was nominated. Alito was an option back then, so I'd like a member of the press/media to ask why Miers was picked over Alito originally when all the options were on the table. What specifically made her more qualified?

In my opinion, too many of Armando's contributions to dKos are making the site unappealing and almost suffocating to me. I think his front page privs should be revoked, plain and simple.

I don't have a problem with his opinions or views. Diversity of opinion is what it's all about, I've learned a lot from posters in this community, and I've changed personal opinions on certain matters in some cases. My issue is that his posts are self-centered, self-serving, repetitive. His tone is often aggressive and unpleasant.

In short, I think Armando is a dick. Read More

I LOVE IT!!!

Most of you know that Game 4 of the World Series is tonight, but some of you may not know that a cool, calm and collected astronomical phenomenon will occur during the game: a lunar eclipse.

Wapo has the details...

The period of totality -- when the moon will be completely within the Earth's shadow -- will begin at 10:23 p.m. Eastern time and end at 11:45 p.m., according to a Web site maintained by Fred Espenak of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The eclipse will reach totality about 11 p.m.

Coincidence? Nah... this was meant to be. I can already see Manny homering a grand-daddy-slam as the moon disappears from the sky...

As a Bostonian, well aware of the oft-cited end-times that will follow a Boston victory in the World Series, , I can't help but love it...

My friends, tonight, the Red Sox win the series and Boston is cursed no more...

It's just meant to be... don't miss it, or you'll regret it for ever!!!

GO SOX!

CNN is readying to take notes...

Washington Times is wetting its pants in anticipation...

Whores are pissing all over themselves.

Mr. Rove: you may start the dictation.

I'm shaking :) Update [2004-10-27 13:20:29 by TVOR]: Since I posted the diary before the details of the "big news" came out, I figured an update was in order... and the update is that, basically, we're fucked... the terrorists are in our midst, from the blue state of california, and they're coming to get us.

Hahaha

The Office of Special Plans (OFS) was instigated by Don Rumsfeld at the beginning of the Bush Administration. It's role was essentially to fabricate and disseminate dissinformation to further the United States goals in the the world. Yeah... scary stuff.

Anyway, I have no doubt, as evidenced by the recent story about US school data found on a hard drive in Baghdad, that the OFS is alive and well and behind the Bush administration's latest misuse of government and abuse of public trust to scare the American people and advance is electoral agenda.

I just finished reading through today's fascinating Bush/Allawi press briefing.

Towards the bottom, I found this little gem:

Bush:

"The prime minister said something very interesting a while ago and it's important for the American people to understand. Our strategy is to help the Iraqis help themselves. It's important that we train Iraqi troops. There are nearly 100,000 troops trained.
The Afghan national army is a part of the army.
By the way, it's the Afghan national army that went into Najaf and did the work there."

So, let me get this straight. Afghanistan is trying to emmerge from decades of chaos, and struggling to gain a semblance of stability, and we are cyphoning the little security resources they have into Iraq"?

It's tragic enough that we stupidly diverted US resources and personel from the fight against Ossama Bin Laden and Al Quaida in Afghanistan (remember, the real ennemy?) to Iraq, but we even borrow Afghan troops who have much to do at home? And chimpy-boy is proud of it?

By the way, do you know why we have to borrow Afghan troops? Because our incompetent "commander in chief" is incapable of bringing in Arab or regional allies to help us out on the ground... so we plunder the poor Afghans who've got their own problems at home to deal with. Leadership my ass.

If this is not emblematic of how screwed up our priorities are, and of Bush's utter lack of leadership, I really don't know what it.

It just blows the mind...

Or is this purely a coincidence?

If I'm understanding this correctly, the official compaign and a 527 release an ad on the same day with the same message??

What's the deal?

From today's Note:

REPUBLICANS RELEASE 2 ADS ON SAME DAY WITH KERRY WINDSURFING VIDEO: Bush-Cheney 04 releases "Windsurfing: "John Kerry. Whichever way the wind blows."
527 PROGRESS FOR AMERICA VOTER FUND AD "SURFER DUDE": "John Kerry's hobby? Windsurfing... on issues dude!"
