This is from my apolitical SF hipster friend. A guy whom until recently couldn't name a political candidate to save his life. I thought it fascinating that this primary is now bleeding into the detached hipster psyche...!

Anyway the shirts are kitschy, but cute. He's generally struggling, so support him and buy a shirt if you like em...

PS. They're marketed as "Are you a detached hipster ironically following the Republican primaries? Or a Santorum supporter? Buy this shirt!"

Media Matters is bringing O'Reilly out of his shell. I'm not sure it's all that flattering.

O'Reilly: More than 90 percent of American homes celebrate Christmas. But the small minority that is trying to impose its will on the majority is so vicious, so dishonest -- and has to be dealt with.

Hitler deciding the fate of the Jews...

Hitler: In the course of the Final Solution, the Jews will be brought to the east for labour. ... No doubt a lot of them will drop out through natural wastage. The remainder who survive will have to be dealt with.

When you find your self quoting Hitler, on accident... you just might be an anti-semite.

Our problem, if it is one, is that we had hope. We cared. We believed what's right would prevail. That justice would emerge to vindicate us. That everything we knew and believed to be right in this world would be realized. Unfortunately, passion blinds people. We underestimated the near absolute power thrust upon those willing to take advantage of the darkest elements of our souls. We didn't fully account for the depravity of the opposition. We didn't want to. We thought we'd win because we were right. Read More

Drudge Siren:

NBCNEWS: HUGE CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ -- AT LEAST 18 MONTHS AGO -- BEFORE TROOPS ARRIVED

From freerepublic

NBC News: Miklaszewski: "April 10, 2003, only three weeks into the war, NBC News was embedded with troops from the Army's 101st Airborne as they temporarily take over the Al Qakaa weapons installation south of Baghdad. But these troops never found the nearly 380 tons of some of the most powerful conventional explosives, called HMX and RDX, which is now missing. The U.S. troops did find large stockpiles of more conventional weapons, but no HMX or RDX, so powerful less than a pound brought down Pan Am 103 in 1988, and can be used to trigger a nuclear weapon. In a letter this month, the Iraqi interim government told the International Atomic Energy Agency the high explosives were lost to theft and looting due to lack of security. Critics claim there were simply not enough U.S. troops to guard hundreds of weapons stockpiles, weapons now being used by insurgents and terrorists to wage a guerrilla war in Iraq." (NBC's "Nightly News," 10/25/04)

But it actually doesn't seem to undercut anything. Read More

This web site has been set up to disprove the myth that Bush is "good for Israel". Please send this to any American Jewish friends you have that might be supporting Bush because of this issue! I have been sending this to friends and it really works. A lot of people are uninformed about this stuff.

They think Bush is good for Israel because of Iraq, or because he wouldnt meet with Arafat. He isn't! He has a terrible record. They need to be informed of these facts.

The site goes through:

How Bush ignored Israel's pleas with respect to Iraq, making Israel far less safe. (Sy Hersh article)

How Bush has made Iran Stronger

Bush's cozy relationship with the Saudis

His spotty inconsistent record on issues relating to Israel

Kerry's strong 20 year record on Israel.

And it is damn well supported with documentation. This could sway a lot of voters.

Update: Site seems to be slow right now. Try reloading if it doesnt work

It looks like the entire left side of his face is numb. Everyone here agrees. Did they botox his lower face to avoid involuntary scowling? Or maybe numbing cream?

Now there's drool coming out the right side of his mouth!

Also, he's giggling like a moron.

Drudge had some people worried, quoting O'Neill's accusation that Kerry made up a story about being in Cambodia during the Christmas of '68. On closer inspection though, this seems like a bunch of bull, just like everything else.

O'Neill quotes Kerry on the floor of the Senate saying:

I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by the Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the president of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared--seared--in me.

A Boston Globe profile from a while back has Kerry giving much more detail:

Kerry said he had gone several miles inside Cambodia, which theoretically was off limits, prompting Kerry to send a sarcastic message to his superiors that he was writing from the Navy's "most inland" unit. Full link for more detail

He had Michael Rogers on, the guy who is outing gays in high positions.
O'Reilly called this a "sleazy tactic".

But when Mr. Rogers reminded Mr. O that O'Reilly himself had outed a MA judge on his program, O'Reilly's rambling response was:

I didn't do anything. Our guests.. our guests.. We have done many reports, and the guests that came on put it into the perspective that... We didn't do anything. In fact, we have a call in to the judge, she can come in any time she wants. If we got it wrong, we're absolutely willing to have it.

Hmm.. an air-tight denial to be sure. He managed to only trail off 2 or 3 times. Ofcourse Rogers answered with the obvious response:

I'll say the same thing to any of these directors of these organizations who are working against their own communities.

Which didn't appease O'Reilly. So, did a previous guest bring up the judge's sexuality, or did O'Reilly? Here is the first mention by O'Reilly that I can find of this "lesbian judge". It occured last November, before the Massachusetts court had even sent down it's decision: Read More

Clearly the market loves Bush

From the Yahoo! InPlay Market update:

2:58PM Floor Talk : while the seemingly inexorable rise in the price of oil, the assassination of the head of Iraq's governing council, and the fallout from India's election initially roiled the mkt, the mkt reacted positively to the news that U.S. troops discovered a roadside bomb filled with the nerve gas sarin, which has the potential to vindicate some of the Bush administration's claim's about Iraq possessing WMD, and in turn could bolster Bush's reelection prospects (whom the mkt clearly favors over Kerry).

So let me get this straight,

The market's a little flustered because a guy was just beheaded, the head of the governing council was murdered, and oil is $42 a barrel, but we can take solace that a canister of Sarin gas might get Bush re-elected?

Is the world retarted?

O'Reilly at it again!

This guy is seriously dishonest (or incompetent!). Now O'Reilly is attacking Clarke for the Fox "on background" interview and pretending that Clarke didn't spend a big chunk of today's hearing explaining it in a way that everyone understands. He is either lying, or he didn't even watch Clarke's testimony. Either way, O'Reilly is a hack.

Here is a summary:

O'Reilly teases his show with: "More bloviating in DC today about 9/11, including testimony by the controvercial Richard Clarke. The question is, what is this guy's real agenda. We have some new information for you..."

He starts the first segment with: "The more I learn about this guy, the more I'm skeptical... that he is now using his knowledge for political reasons."

O'Reilly Gear Helps Charity?

Many of you may not know you can buy a Bill O'Reilly paper weight for only $35 US, but you should be warned, it appears he's being dishonest about where the profits go. Or atleast where he has said they've gone in the past.

Bill O'Reilly took an e-mail from a viewer today that read:

"Mr. O'Reilly, you tell viewers that a portion of the proceeds from the Factor Gear go to charities. In the interest of full disclosure and because of your demands on celebrities, why don't you tell us the percentage."

O'Reilly responded, in way not lacking in snideness, saying "Well I have many times Mr. Chapelle, you must be a 'new' viewer. ALL of the money I derive from factor gear goes to charity."

I force myself to watch the show quite often, so I was wondering if that was true, since I remember him saying that "some of the" money would go to charity on various occasions. In a Lexis search of his show I came up with 5 instances in which he said that "a portion" or "some of" factor proceeds go to charity. They are: Read More

I don't see anyone mentioning this, but in an interview with a reporter yesterday, Dennis Hastert said he wouldn't deal with the President's people anymore because he can't get straight numbers from them. He now deals only with the President.

This isn't surprising following the Diary which mentioned that the White House threatened to fire their own guys if they revealed to congress the true cost of the Medicare bill.

Here is the text of what Hastert said: Read More
