I had the impression that all affiliates would be broadcasting "Stolen Honor" at the same time (Sunday), but according to a story in the Southern Illinoisan:

KBSI-TV Fox 23 deferred comment about the documentary to Sinclair Broadcasting's corporate headquarters but said the station plans to air the program at 7 p.m. Friday. WDKA-TV WB 49 will air the film at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

One Nat'l Guardsman lost both arms. A year later, a big fat nothing from the Pentagon. Nothing!

A guy still in bed at Walter Reed was given a bill to repay his enlistment bonus. He lives in his car hounded by the Pentagon and given a credit flag because of the bonus!

A year later, no Purple Heart, only collection notices.

It's on right now.

CBC Chair Declines Meeting With President Bush
Press Release
July 17, 2003

From CBC Chair, Elijah Cummings:

Mr. President, I need not remind you that the CBC's requests for meetings with you have gone unanswered for more than two-and-one-half years. As a result, you and your Administration have had less opportunity to receive the expertise, wisdom and insights of our 39 Members on a wide variety of significant national and international issues including: the current crisis in Iraq, the double-digit unemployment in the African American community and the overall state of the American economy, homeland security and our defense against terrorism, our bilateral relationships with African nations, and the many other domestic and international challenges facing our country.

Via Steve Clemons is this about HR10, a.k.a., the Champion Act which promises some spanking new infringements on your civil liberties. Ashcroft's newest demon child. Here's a taste. Read and feel the chill.

SEC. 2141. SHORT TITLE.
This subtitle may be cited as the "Criminal History Access Means Protection of Infrastructures and Our Nation Act"

"Let's destroy this young demagogue before he becomes another Ralph Nader." Charles Colson (Nixon's counsel)

Go see it, if for no other reason than increasing the likelihood of a hold-over at your theatre. There were 6 other people at a 4:40 Sunday matinee in my Bloomington, IN theatre. As my wife put it (and surprised in me the same sentiment) "now I actually feel like voting for John Kerry." I was starting to come around more to being pro-Kerry than anti-Bush after the first debate, but this gave me an honest admiration for him as a leader.

I thought this had to be a satire or parody ad at first glance, but it's probably just the felicitous irony of namesakes!

So when you show up to your staged George W. Bush "Mission Accompished" party, make sure you arrive properly fleeced. Do your part and help Newsmax and George W. Bush fleece the whole country!

Geez Louise it's Alan Keyes! (Awful Ifill unrelated)

Alan Keyes out-gesticulating the late Stephen Douglas

From the Washington Post by way of The Note, more madcap laughs from a guy who's unpredictable as he is offensive. And his followers (I know, I couldn't believe it either) are something else altogether too:

Debbie Dammann, from nearby Loves Park, was in heaven. She said Keyes was striding down the same path as President Bush.
"They stand for Christian leadership and putting down the disgusting rights of queers. It's going to be a great day when they shoot that down," Dammann said. Another admirer, lawyer Bernard Reese, said he likes Keyes because his opinions are "grounded in reason."
