Well I have to say I agree with this statement.  That's because I know who the 'he' is that's being referred to.  And I know who the quote is attributed to as well.

Follow me.

I just caught the end of Amy Goodman's interview of Bill Moyers on Democracy Now.  I happened to pick it up when he was discussing media & politics.  Spot on, I would say.

AMY GOODMAN: Why do you think these candidates, the leading candidates of the Democratic supposedly opposition party, do not call for an immediate end to the war, do not call for single-payer healthcare?

BILL MOYERS: Because the media doesn’t allow complicated thought to be articulated in ways that enlighten instead of misinform people.

Can I get an amen, brother?

Zogby is looking better & better.  Who woulda thunk it?

I happened to be checking over at Crooks & Liars & read a reposted (from CNN) article about the slaughtering of bison in and around Yellowstone National Park.  Why did this peak my interest?  Well the first reason is the obvious, the second is that I learned about this practice of shooting bison when I lived in Montana 15+ years ago.

Follow below the fold for some history...

Unhappily for me I just caught the last 5 minutes of Timeh.

by China again.

Reason:  greed

Killing our pets, our people, who cares:

Update:  Humble apology...this story was just posted.

I picked this up on TPM.   It appears that our lady of the flag pin was mentioned in a NY Times.com article on April 4th quoting her reason for not wanting to vote for Obama.  Yup, you guessed it.  It's all about the pin, not race.

Check this out...

and website.  If you go here:

http://abcnews.go.com/...
you will find their poll for who won the debate.  If only we could vote on the moderators performance...

If they can put up headlines like "Obama pressed after rough debate" and a picture of Elizabeth Hasselbeck (the view republican) telling us that Hillary won...well we can do our best to vote them off the internet with our traffic.

Go...before they take it down

When the mealy mouth media spends the first third of the debate asking asinine questions about Avery, Rev Wright, Bosnia, Bittergunchurchgate...

So many of us are sick and tired of our current media giants being labeled the MSM.  There's simply nothing mainstream about them.  They pander, slander, and are about as unbiased in their news coverage as we would be telling people about our children.

I know at least one other diary, that I couldn't locate, was presented on this subject before but at the rate I am receiving these types of emails about Barack, I am truly worried AND disgusted.

Julie MacDonald, Ass't Secretary for Fish, Wildlife & Parks (Interior) quit today ahead of a House investigation into her violations of the Endangered Species Act and the facts that she censored scientific findings and generally mistreated employees at Fish & Wildlife.  

By now you've heard that the head of the Smithsonian, Lawrence Small, was yesterday forced to resign (my emphasis).

What you may not know is that the former, late, Chief Justice Rehnquist was chair of the Board of Regents that put Small in his position in 2000.  As is the case with:  multiple choice, you pick... (almost all), (many), (too many to count), (every friggin one) of the Republic candidates elevated to high positions, his credentials and history are suspect.

Meet William Moschella:  Assistant to John Ashcroft & Alberto Gonzales.  

It's helpful to see just what he's been up to during his illustrious career as "DOJ/Corruption Protector-in-Chief hatchet man".

Just in case you missed it, liar & divider estraordinaire Bill O'Leilly was a (remote) guest on Oprah a coupla days ago.  The topic:  Abused Children.

Pick yourself up off of the floor for a show recap & to see what her legions on the Oprah MBoards thought about it.

...just now listening to the local news in Boise; on the most conservative of the TV Stations, and we're up.  In the 1st District, Democrat Grant leads (fricken compassionless) Sali by 5% with 25% (phew, pretty high but not bad news, necessarily) undecided.  

For Governor, Democrat Brady is leading Otter by 4% with 20% undecided.

Partial text of osama speech, November 1, 2004

 All that we have mentioned has made it easy for us to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving for it anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies.

Taking a page from Cheney's playbook wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for the Dems as we approach the interim elections and beyond.  And since be believes that it is quite effective to "keep throwing their words back at them", it would behoove us to do the same.

Text of Remarks By Vice President Dick Cheney (As prepared for delivery)

And the suggestion that's been made by some U.S. senators that the President of the United States or any member of this Administration purposely misled the American people on pre-war intelligence is one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city.

The President and I cannot prevent certain politicians from losing their memory, or their backbone - but we're not going to sit by and let them rewrite history.

We're going to continue throwing their own words back at them. snip

Playbook page #32.  Use the word 'reprehensible' when referring to those that call us out on our lies; because calling them liars, well, would be a lie...not that there's anything wrong with telling lies, mind you, when the end justifies the means.

 more after...
