Myself, not much of a tv watcher, have been indunated with the mugs of Cantor and Co on my HD TV ... (hmm maybe that's why the repubs voted against it eh?)

kinda frustrating to say the least....where's barney? where's everyone else?

then it hit me today...where they are...and why we might be seeing the goopers all over the place. (and no, I don't think it's a media conspiracy)

Here you go Joe.

What you are crying about.

In the New Yorker. The context of the article is talking about Obama...

Here is the full New Yorker article
There ...it's out there.... Obama and Rahm helps get Blago elected in 2002...with a bunch of other advisors...because they are from the same state... running on a platform of reform. ok. Probably wasn't as involved as Rahm indicated ... or so says Wilhelm.

Well, it looks like I have witnessed history twice in one week.

Last week was the best speech I have ever seen.

I am a dude...and I cried...and I am not afraid to admit it.

Well tonight I had a quite different experience, but I did get excited when the background changed to a screen that reminded me of something. So I have whipped out my photoshop skills and have posted something below

not that it doesn't surprise me, but I just witnessed Lie-ber-Man voting for cloture on the resolution for the defacto censoring of Bush on the Iraq War with the "anti-escalation" measure.

Not sure if you follow this closely, but the Repub's are attempting to circumvent a vote by filibustering the resolution by blocking the ability for the senate to even debate this.

Gosh darn it...why couldn't we have won one more seat? Then we could tell Lie-ber-whine to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

Is Obama declaring on Monday Night Football?

HOLY COW!

I'm a big football fan, checking out the stats for my favorite teams at espn.com and saw a weird link on the monday night football home page...

barack ombama: MNF, behind the scenes...

My jaw drops, cause at the end of it Obama says.
I would like to announce, to my home town of Chicago, and to all of America...(scene stops)

First comes death,
then comes news,
then comes a book,
where they make a buck or two.

"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."

I can of course see why it would be interesting to see this...but what really got my goose in a gander was later on in the brief article... Read More

I just have to say, since I am not in "the loop" in political circles and what not, the fact that Bill Maher, outed Kenny Boy was nothing short of jaw-dropping for me. Of course, Larry King was like..."i never heard that"...which is par for a man that probably doesn't get out much anymore...but anyways...

Not that I have anything against being gay of course, but the HYPOCRISY of it all...wow...Bill was right on about it all too...talking about how people love to self hate...etc..etc..

A classic Larry King Segment if I ever saw one...

Do you think this kind of thing, if pushed a little harder in the MSM would errode the GOP fundy base further? Considering Ken Melhman is one of the top 3 faces of the GOP, can those fundys call it God's Own Party anymore with a "straight" face?

WOw, all I can say is ...wow...here is a quote from a times story that just bit me in the buttocks...

Russia, which has huge financial interests in Iran and is supplying it with nuclear reactors, was particularly reluctant to push the Iranians too hard.

well....duuuuhhhhhhhhh!

So in essence, this whole iranian crap is really just political posturing. Want to stop Iran from developing nukes? stop providing them with the ability to make em!

So why isn't Bush on the phone with his old pal "pooty poot" about that?

proof of insider administration flipping?

Indictment page 8, section 22.

22. On or about July 12, 2003, LIBBY flew with the Vice President and others to and from Norfolk, Virginia, on Air Force Two. On his return trip, LIBBY discused with other officials aboard the plane what Libby should say in response to certain pending media inquiries, including questions from Time reporter Matthew Cooper.

This stood out to me when I read this yesterday.
My question is...how would they know they discussed this unless someone on board has testified to this?

after reading some very very illuminating diaries this evening, I have realized a very important salient fact.

W is not the only one who lives in a bubble.

Pretty much all wingers do... especially the fundamentalist.

There is one thing that I do understand, and that is how the fundamentalist mind works. The origins of Christian fundamentalism springs from the 19th century 'great awakening' and the holieness movement which aligned itself against science (evolution in particular)

The holiness movement at it's core is dedicated to not only not living of the world, but shedding as much as possible of living "in" the world as well.
