CBS will run an interview this evening with Douglas Feith. He is a good candidate for the war tribunals in the Hague, he, Yoo and Cheney need those life sentences - i'd recommend that they serve it in Abu Ghraib.

Ya'll have a good one!!

... lest we forget what Hillary, McCain, and Condi are responsible for, even if they want off that leash.

Howard did really well on Schieffer and I'm glad he's putting to rest the ill-founded rumor that MI and FL won't be seated.

I think there's an opportunity to say much more about McCain, along the lines of this:

"John McCain's poll numbers are good because John McCain is a master shape-shifter. His long-term voting record is moderate, yet he has recently gone to the Neocons and given them the secret handshake for four more years of Bush imperialist mayhem.

"But this ability to pander to both sides has a longer term risk: which John McCain will show up on Inauguration Day? And that's a question any potential McCain supporter needs to be asking."

FOUR MORE YEARS OF BLACK IRRELEVANCE

GLEN FORD

http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=576&Itemid=1

About 90 percent of Black America has allied itself with a candidate that never promised them a damn thing. Four years ago, virtually nobody outside Chicago had ever heard of Barack Obama. He was packaged and presented by the Democratic National Convention in August, 2004 as the New Black Look and Attitude of the Party - a guy who would show  both rows of teeth while claiming: "there is no Hispanic America, there is no Black America, there is no white America; there is only the United States of America."

In a literal sense, Barack Obama never lied to Black people, since he never offered African Americans anything. For their part, Black voters never requested anything from Obama. From Obama's standpoint, it turned out to be a perfect arrangement. Obama suspected he could get virtually every Black vote for free, and he was right. For the rest of the campaign, Black opinion was irrelevant. 

Once white males began voting in huge numbers for Obama, the last holdouts among Black voters came around. African American support for Obama became practically unanimous. And at what cost to Obama? Nothing. Better yet, Obama was now free to more brazenly woo Republicans and Reagan Democrats, knowing Blacks had become so cowed (or even delusional) they would pretend not to hear the overtures to the enemy. In Selma, Alabama, Obama claimed that Blacks had already come "90 percent of the way to equality" - a signal to whites that the days of Black racial agitation were nearly over.

If you'd like to hear the brief mp3 of John Yoo telling whether the President can torture by ordering the crushing the testicles of a child here you go (with thanks to Crooks and Liars-http://movies.crooksandliars.com/yoo-1.m... and the Crooks and Liars link http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/09/18...

Tell me again the difference between these guys and Hitler's Nazis?

Howard was outstanding this a.m. Finally on Steph's show telling the exact reason the delegates won't be counted in Mi and Fl. Oh yes, they can to go Denver, but they will not be counted in the amounts of delegates.

And last are the talking heads on tv.

Yesterday on Kos they said that they showed barack bowling last week 1300 times and only 73 of the bloodshed in Iraq.

Turn off the TV.

Not so fast, Mickey.

 Don't check out until North Carolina's public schools are number one in America.

Of course, don't hold your breath until that happens either !

If Senator Clinton had bowled a 37 in seven frames, she would have blamed it on :

1. A vast right-handed conspiracy.

2. Harsh media glare.

3. A vast left-handed conspiracy.

4. She really didn't expect to bowl well, anyway.

5. When she was growing up, blowing alleys discriminated against women.

6. If they counted her blowing scores in Michigan and Florida, she would have a cumulative 300.

Oops !

Blowing alleys = bowling alleys.

Blowing alleys are where Bill Clinton gets exercise and socializes.

And at what cost to Obama? Nothing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The best thing about Obama winning the nomination is that is has been without "cost". He won't owe anyone  .....    instead everyone

it's a good thing

Michigan and Florida are different situations and may well have different fixes.

Michigan could relaease the Congressional District Conventions delegates and let them caucus for the allocation of delegates because no way in hell will a strawpoll with only one of two delegates on the ballot get to have a say in the nomination, but there does need to be voting for the actual individuals who go to Denver to be selected by their peers and the Congressional Conventions are the place to do it.

I am sorry - was it a gunshot?  I know, very distasteful - but his life was so devoted to the weapon. 

Sorry, again.  I'll read the article. 

If Senator Clinton had bowled a 37 in seven frames, she would have blamed it on :

David~ tee, hee!

Paine~ I am sorry - was it a gunshot? 

"from my cold, dead hands"

thanks for the ;laugh paine

I'm near tears working the the platform because every word is so good and our word limit means very hard work paring out the last hundred

I was going to make a joke about how the people could pass over to the promised land now that Moses was dead

probably should armor up before making jokes about dear leader of the NRA, paine,lol

I had a crush on Charlton since I saw him at about age 10 in The Greatest Show on Earth. He was a family man and educated at Northwestern I believe and a wonderful actor. He died of Alzhiemer's I believe. As a gun owner myself I have said that phrase 'from my cold, dead hands'. When the Canadian and US joined militias take over to enforce martial law b/c John Yoo, Doug Feith, and Dick Cheney say so, you folks will be glad of us out here with our little weapons defending civil liberties.

If Senator Clinton had bowled a 37 in seven frames, she would have blamed it on :

David,

LOL Thanks for the laughs.

There are some things I never seem to hear about John McCain from the media. I thought you should see this list from MoveOn.org. Please check it out and pass it on!

10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't):

1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1
2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."2
3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.3
4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."4
5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5
6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.6
7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."7
8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.8
9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."9
10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.10

John McCain is not who the Washington press corps makes him out to be. So forward this email to your personal network! And if you want stay in the loop on MoveOn's work to get the truth out about John McCain, sign up here:

I would think that of all people, gun owners would be as pi**ed off as anyone about warrantless wiretaps, etc. However, I haven't hear any gun owners gripe about big government's intrusions into our private lives. Have you heard any of them complain ?

A lot of good a few guns are going to do against wiretaps and cluster bombs !

It's painfully obvious who actually controls Iraq, and it's al Sadr.

And yes, Macedonians speak Greek, as they were part of the Greek empire of old.

___________
I have a good friend who is a Greek national. the northern most provence in Greece is Macedonia. On the other side of the both in Yugoslavia was a provence named Macedonia. The Greek's referred to the Yugoslavian provence as psuedo-macedonia bastards. He appeared quite nationalistic about those claiming greek heritage north of the border.

We are going to have to assume that your militant gun owners are NOT the sharpest tools in the shed. . . .  And perhaps it is no accident that Heston came out REALLY big time for them shortly before being diagnosed with Alzheimer's (in the same way that Reagan's was showing in his decisions for a decade before diagnosis  -- but you gotta wonder about peeps who consent to be led by an emperor with no clothes. . . . )

Here's an article about y'all's favorite Rahm Emanuel from Newsweek -- the main idea is that he may be the one to tell Hillary (or Barack) it's time to give it up. This is my favorite paragraph -- goes to show how popular Hill/Bill are with the current powers that be in the Democratic party (or maybe that's vice versa):



Who will tell Hillary Clinton that the time has come to fold her tent? (Or, in a less likely scenario, Barack Obama?) It almost surely won't be Howard Dean, the head of the Democratic Party. Unlike his predecessor, Terry McAuliffe, a charming glad-hander who played golf with Bill Clinton, Dean has no personal relationship with the Clintons. In late March, when Dean suggested that the race should be wrapped up by July 1, Hillary promptly sought an interview with The Washington Post to assert, "I have no intention of stopping until we finish what we started." Just by virtue of her position, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might seem like a logical candidate for the dirty deed, but she lacks stature with the Clintons. Former vice president Al Gore? No love lost there on either side. Sen. Ted Kennedy? Sen. John Kerry? They're partisan, having declared allegiance to Obama. Maybe a wily, old hand like superlawyer and Clinton golf confidant Vernon Jordan will step in, as NEWSWEEK'S Howard Fineman suggests.

And btw gunhaters, I just have a little service revolver, no uranium tipped bullets or anything. Remember a lot of Howard fans got that way b/c he had a 'sensible' position on gun ownership.

No...wait...maybe it's Vernon Jordan:
