Republican Hypocrite Foley Resigns From Congress To Spend More Time With Kids

"Hypocrisy Is Better Than No Principles At All" - William Bennett at the Blackjack table:

Trans-fat model and Vegas Loser William Bennett mans the tables while Congressman XXX Foley mans the boys as the Republican's strangle-hold on America continues unabated.

"Carl Forti, a spokesman for the GOP campaign organization, said Reynolds learned from Alexander that the parents did not want to pursue the matter. Forti said, however, that the matter did go before the House Page Board - the three lawmakers and two House officials who oversee the pages.

It was unclear what the officials did.

The board currently is headed by Rep. John Shimkus, R-Ill., who did not respond to requests for an interview."

The House Page Board is run like a box of chocolates. Perhaps Republican Congressman Shimkus will explain their oversight techniques.

The Monica Crowley Schmear

Like a small Porsche wrapped in black leather, Monica Crowley appeals to rightie guys who never got a chance to be in the SS. But she's really just a total mess. I'm watching her as I write this and she is going on and on and on about the real swell medical care in Gitmo; the great life they all have down there under the sunny, blue sky. She is so deluded it is almost unbelievable she is allowed on the air. Yet there she is on the Imus show on September 29, 2006 displaying the unsane mind she carries within her fake blonde head.

Read her book about Nixon and grok an early example of bottle-blonde rage.

They All Look The Same To Me

This Says A Lott: "'It's hard for Americans, all of us, including me, to understand what's wrong with these people,' he said. 'Why do they kill people of other religions because of religion? Why do they hate the Israeli's and despise their right to exist? Why do they hate each other? Why do Sunnis kill Shiites? How do they tell the difference? They all look the same to me.'
Speaking shortly after a meeting with President Bush and Vice President Cheney, Lott added that Iraq wasn't among the White House's priorities.
'No, none of that,' Lott told reporters after the session when asked if the Iraq war was discussed. 'You're [the media] the only ones who obsess on that. We don't and the real people out in the real world don't for the most part.'"

Pretty fucking outrageous.

Soldiers Attacked Every 15 Minutes In Iraq

New Woodward Book Details Multiple Bush Cover-Ups Over Iraq: "According to Woodward, insurgent attacks against coalition troops occur, on average, every 15 minutes, a shocking fact the administration has kept secret. 'It's getting to the point now where there are eight-, nine-hundred attacks a week. That's more than 100 a day. That is four an hour attacking our forces,' says Woodward.

Intelligence shows Iraq violence will worsen in 2007"

Political Victory Trumps Science

Brain of Republican Recalled For Lack Of Knowledge: "According to a July Pew Research Center Poll, the American public is split about evenly between those who say global warming is due to human activity versus those who believe it's from natural factors or not happening at all. "

Senator James Inhofe can be safely drowned without damage to any environment.

The opinion of the public is what Republican's call science. If the public thinks 2 plus 2 equals 3, then Inhofe is ready to sell it to them. If it kills their kids, or harms the future of mankind, so be it.

Did We Do Anything ?

No. But the Sixties did happen, says Robert Wander, writing as BW on the Jefferson Starship website:

"'The five Jefferson Airplane albums released from 1967 to 1969 - Surrealistic Pillow. After Bathing at Baxter's, Crown of Creation, Bless It's Pointed Little Head, and Volunteers - rank among the worthiest bodies of work or that OR Any Decade...'"

"...You should have the new mastered CD copies of these albums. And play them once in a while, and you'll understand why you turned out as you did. Unable to set any goals, no formal education, bad at even the simplest relationships, and on and on. It's 40 years since Jefferson Airplane Takes Off and you're still sitting there, trying to map your future, aren't you?"

Yeah, OK, so what's your point ?

Iraq War Killing Continues

Retired Officers Criticize Rumsfeld: "'I believe that Secretary Rumsfeld and others in the administration did not tell the American people the truth for fear of losing support for the war in Iraq,' retired Maj. Gen. John R. S. Batiste said in remarks prepared for a hearing by the Senate Democratic Policy Committee.

A second witness, retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, assessed Rumsfeld as 'incompetent strategically, operationally and tactically ....'
'Mr. Rumsfeld and his immediate team must be replaced or we will see two more years of extraordinarily bad decision-making,'"

Easy boys. Bush says this war's just a comma. We're paying godzillions of dollars for a comma. Soldiers are dying and there are no words for it; just a comma. Got that?

George Allen Needs An Exit Pass

Teammates: Allen a total racist asshole in college: "After they had killed a deer, Shelton said he remembers Allen asking Lanahan where the local black residents lived. Shelton said Allen then drove the three of them to that neighborhood with the severed head of the deer. 'He proceeded to take the doe's head and stuff it into a mailbox,' Shelton said. "

Some bad monster soul vibes coming from that dude...

Mel Gibson's Voice Against the War in Iraq

A Surprise From Right Field:

"What's human sacrifice, if not sending guys off to Iraq for no reason?"

Hurd Mentality Now Running HP

HP Chief May Have Had Role in Leak: "Three separate newspaper reviews of e-mail messages suggest Hewlett-Packard Co. Chief Executive Officer Mark Hurd played a more direct role in an internal investigation of media leaks than previously disclosed.
The Washington Post reported that an e-mail message sent by HP Chairwoman Patricia C. Dunn suggested Hurd approved an elaborate sting operation on a reporter in February in an attempt to plug media leaks."

War mentality in corporate offices leads to a new understanding of success in business in America today. Through the world of marketing, torture and Gitmo are leaking into our daily life - right there on TV you will see someone throwing a cellphone at another person's head and you will see monkeys bashing the brains out of people with mallets.

Judge Tells Reporters To Talk or Go To Jail

Silence means prison: "Williams, 56, said that in seeking his testimony, federal prosecutors 'demand I give up my career and my livelihood.'' If such orders become commonplace, he said, 'Whistle-blowers won't come forward. Injustices will never see the light of day. Our people will be less informed and worse off.'
White described both men as 'highly successful, highly respected journalists'' but said they have no legal right to disobey the subpoenas.
'When do we get to choose what laws we're going to obey?'' the judge asked.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Raphael said the reporters are fortunate that they are facing only sanctions for civil contempt of court rather than criminal prosecution. They were 'very likely participating in a crime,'' such as aiding in illegal disclosures, but prosecutors decided against criminal proceedings, he said. "

Texas

Gun Store Owner / Talk-Show Host Combo Explains Texas Ethics : "'Be polite and courteous, but have a plan to KILL everybody you meet.'"

Tough guys. They forget they are bags of water, ripe to pop.

"Bush is winning now with a hand with nothing in it", cries enabler Matthews

Chris Matthews: "I Have Been Against This Bullshit War From The Beginning: "It is like we are at war - we have killed 15,000 people that died over there in that war, we still get guys knocked off every couple of days, a couple more guys are killed - and yet it is not on the tube. It's like, are we bored with the war now? Is that the new thing? We don't cover a war guys are fighting? And I watch the news, I don't see the war any more. It has been taken off television, and Bush must love it. Certainly Karl Rove loves the fact that the Iraq War has gotten boring for the American people. "

But Matthews is also the guy who trashes any democrat that doesn't present a plan to exit Iraq; forgetting that the democrats strength will be in beginning the dialog needed to create a process for finding that exit plan.

And here's the faker getting all jiggy with "this bullshit war from the beginning" during the Mission Accomplished gleefest:

"We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president."

The only bullshit seems to be coming out of Matthews mouth.

Adult Court For Juvenals Is A Crime

Prosecutors Who Charge Juvenals As Adults Are Despicable, Resume Building Thugs: "There's firm evidence that teens prosecuted as adults are much more likely to commit crimes when they get out than comparable young people tried as juveniles, says Shay Bilchik, president and CEO of the Child Welfare League of America."

Professionalism is barely alive in the hearts and minds of conservative prosecutors and judges. Knowledge of human behaviour and science in general is being rejected in favor of know-nothing arguments and facts from hell.

Torture With Cables, Acid and Power Drills

Iraq deaths surge over last two months: "Hundreds more Iraqis died in violence in July and August than in the previous two months, many of them tortured to death because of their religion with cables, acid and power drills, a U.N. report said on Wednesday. "

It is beyond sick that Americans are considering the efficacy of torture.

American Business Ethics On Parade At Hewlett-Packard

Infiltrating Newsrooms With Spies: "'Feasibility studies are in progress for undercover operations (clerical) in CNET and WSJ offices in SF bureaus,' the memo said, referring to two publications in which reports of the company's board discussions had appeared.
Under a section labeled 'Investigation Activity Update,' with the subtitle 'Covert Operations,' it also called for examining the use of cleaning employees at those locations. "

Corporate Up-skirt Creeps

Big-time Criminals Running HP: "investigators sent an e-mail to a reporter for the online technology publication Cnet.com that contained spyware software in an attached file. If opened, the attachment was designed to install itself on her computer and track every keystroke."

This is a gigantic story. Imagine the implications for American business.

Welcome to the New Dark Ages

Canadian police errors led to man's torture: "Canadian police wrongly identified an Ottawa software engineer as an Islamic extremist, prompting U.S. agents to deport him to Syria, where he was tortured, an official inquiry concluded on Monday...

...Arar, 36, says he was repeatedly tortured in the year he spent in Damascus jails, and the inquiry agreed that he had been tortured. He was freed in 2003."

If you're surprised, shame on you.

American Business Owns Your Ass

Diving for Details: "Representing themselves as an anonymous tipster, the detectives e-mailed a document to a CNET reporter, according to those briefed on the review. The e-mail was embedded with software that was supposed to trace who the document was forwarded to. "

But Ms. Dunn, the HP executive in charge, will stay on until January 2007. That's evidentally the morality that HP thinks it can get away with.

To see the bottom of this well, look only to Larry W. Sonsini of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. This guy is a criminal mind with a diploma.

America No Longer Chick Magnet

Nobody Wants To Play With Us Anymore: "Surveys show that America is becoming unpopular with the rest of the world...

...Since 2000 the percentage of people holding favourable opinions of the country has fallen from 83% to 56% in Britain, from 78% to 37% in Germany and from 77% to 63% in Japan. "

To the rest of the world, we appear as scrappy little puritan know-nothings led by a Thugmeister speaking lies and jibberish.

Bush's Tony Snow Explains

'Torture' For All of Them: "Q Does that not invite other countries to do the same, to have other interpretations of Article III?

MR. SNOW: What it allows every country to do is to have an interpretation."

Hey kids, grab your Arab pals and let's go waterboarding.

But Colin Powell, who as an official in Bush's administration let this country down too many times, says:

"The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism."

Powell could have helped his country back onto the tracks, but didn't. And won't.

REPORTER TO BUSH: Sen. Graham is telling reporters on Capitol Hill that the White House had them in a meeting for five hours last night and tried to force them to sign a prepared statement and he said reading this JAG letter they ended up writing leaves total ambiguity on interpretation - this is Sen. Lindsey Graham speaking.

McCain Does The Right Thing

Many experts in military affairs say that torture produces extremely questionable information. Isn't that exactly why we are in the fucking mess we're in in Iraq ??:

"Michael Hayden, the CIA director, had concluded that under the McCain legislation, 'the CIA programme would have to be shut down'.
Mr McCain criticised Mr Hayden, saying: 'He's trying to protect his reputation at the risk of America's reputation.' "

Yes, the CIA program would have to be shut down. Maybe then we could start looking for actually valuable intelligence.

America Has Been Trashed By A Mendacious Republican Mentality

Bush Is A Bankruptcy In The Flesh: "The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism," said Powell, who served under Bush and is a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "To redefine Common Article 3 would add to those doubts. Furthermore, it would put our own troops at risk."

John McCain said that while he lay in torture-induced pain in a room in Hanoi, he consoled himself with the knowledge that he was from a superior American morality where torture would never ever be used. The distinction, he believed, was incredibly important and he counted on it and was proud of it. Bush has ruined this treasured fact about America. He should be arrested and shot.

Republicans Don't Flush

Is It OK To Not Like These Gangsters? : "In a 145-page report in 2004, the inspector general described Mr. Griles as a 'train wreck waiting to happen.' But on Wednesday, Mr. Devaney said he was appalled that the Interior Department's office of ethics dismissed 23 out of 25 potential ethical breaches against Mr. Griles and that Gale A. Norton, then secretary of the interior, decided not to act on the two remaining allegations."

If your a rightie, you're supposed to not respect the government. You are supposed to wreck it when you can; rip it off when nobody's looking, and lie to good people so that the world we all have to live in is actually as awful as you think it should be.

Snakes On A Plame

And Now We're Gonna Find Out If It's A King Snake Or A Rattler: "'When Richard Armitage finally acknowledged last week he was my source three years ago in revealing Valerie Plame Wilson as a CIA employee, the former deputy secretary of state's interviews obscured what he really did,' Bob Novak claims in a column set for Thursday release...

...'First, Armitage did not, as he now indicates, merely pass on something he had heard and that he 'thought' might be so. Rather, he identified to me the CIA division where Mrs. Wilson worked, and said flatly that she recommended the mission to Niger by her husband, former Amb. Joseph Wilson. Second, Armitage did not slip me this information as idle chitchat, as he now suggests. He made clear he considered it especially suited for my column.'...

...Armitage's tardy self-disclosure is tainted because it is deceptive.' "


Did I just hear a scream from somewhere ?

The Disgrace of Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne

Fire This Asshole or Execute Him: "'If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation,' said Wynne."

We went through this frightened-macho, they're-only-wage-slaves, probably-commies-anyway scenario in the 1950s when the military tested dangerous materials on the populace of the entire SF Bay Area.

"Ali G" Hits America

Bush Feels The Punch: "The opening scene, which shows Borat lustily kissing his sister goodbye and setting off for America in a car pulled by a horse, had audiences in stitches when it was first shown last week. "

Can't wait !

"We Don't Care Dick About Dixie"

The Trans-genre Chicks Cut Off Their Dixies and Head Out Left: "the poster girls of the HuffPost crowd and the scourge of the Drudge set."

ABC - Right-Wing Collab Film Provokes Ire

American Airlines Latest to Hit ABC's 9/11 Film -- Legal Action to Follow?: "Late Monday, American Airlines released the folllowing statement: 'The Disney/ABC television program, 'The Path to 9/11,' which began airing last night, is inaccurate and irresponsible in its portrayal of the airport check-in events that occurred on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

'A factual description of those events can be found in the official government edition of the 9/11 Commission Report and supporting documents.

'This misrepresentation of facts dishonors the memory of innocent American Airlines employees and all those who lost their lives as a result of the tragic events of 9/11.'"...

..."Meanwhile, President Clinton and his advisers remain unhappy with the film. Bruce Lindsey, CEO of the Clinton foundation, and Douglas J. Band, counselor, wrote yet another letter to Robert Iger, chief at Disney (which owns ABC) today. It concludes: "Having now seen the first night of this fiction, it is clear that the edits made to the film did not address the factual errors that we brought to your attention. 'The Path to 9/11' flagrantly ignored the facts as reported by the 9/11 Commission and invented its own version of history. The result, in our judgment, is irreparable damage to the Commission's work. More importantly, it is a disservice to the American people."That the film directly contradicts the findings of the 9/11 Commission is troubling. That it defames dedicated public officials is tragic. But the fact that it misleads millions of people about the most tragic and consequential event in recent history is disgraceful."

Gun Crime Rises - No New Surprises

A Firm Grasp Of The Obvious: "Professor Alfred Blumstein of Carnegie Mellon University said the rise in gun violence was particularly troubling.

'A major police effort to confiscate guns helped bring down the surge in violent crime that occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s,' Blumstein said. 'But gun distribution is easier now because we have begun to back off gun control.'
Backed by the National Rifle Association, the Bush administration has been cool toward gun control measures."

Though I want to have guns. Just as many as the cops.

ABC Lies Back And Enjoys It

Republican-ABC Drama Shown Free On National TV - Righties Say Payback For Michael Moore: "'And if you don't like the hits to the Clinton administration, well, welcome to the club,' Lehman said. 'The Republicans have lived with Michael Moore and Oliver Stone and most of Hollywood as a fact of life.'"

Michael Moore and Oliver Stone make commercial movies that you choose to pay to see. ABC just spills it out into everyone's living room.

But Thomas Kean, who chaired the national commission that investigated Sept. 11 - and who was involved with the production of the ABC drama, said on ABC-TV that he thought there was no doubt that the Iraq war had raised dangers for the region.
“There’s no question the war in Iraq is radicalizing, increasing people in that area,” he said. “If it becomes, as it seems to be coming, a civil war, that civil war could spread outside the boundaries of Iraq to other areas. It’s a very dangerous situation. And in that kind of a situation, in that area, that’s where terror likes to breed.”

Not Only Does She Not Know Dick, She Hates It

He did it !!!: "Rice tried to pin the blame on then CIA Director George Tenet, saying he said, 'there were ties going on between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's regime going back for a decade.' But in July, Tenet told the Senate Intelligence Committee that 'the White House pressured him and that he agreed to back up the administration's case for war despite his own agents' doubts about the intelligence it was based on.' "

She's Rightie Command's idea of a Hilary slayer.

American Citizens Are Chump Change To The Republicans In Charge

Rumsfeld forbade talk of postwar: "Scheid said the planners continued to try 'to write what was called Phase 4,' or the piece of the plan that included post-invasion operations like security, stability and reconstruction.
Even if the troops didn't stay, 'at least we have to plan for it,' Scheid said.
'I remember the secretary of defense saying that he would fire the next person that said that,' Scheid said. 'We would not do planning for Phase 4 operations, which would require all those additional troops that people talk about today.
'He said we will not do that because the American public will not back us if they think we are going over there for a long war.'"

Brad Pitt Gets A+ For Eloquence

This is such an appealing reaction to the situation: "'Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able.'"

Truth Is So Much Better

Incredible Lies Told About Clinton, Refuted Completely In Article From April, 2000: "Richard Clarke witnessed the dawn of the millennium in a top-secret government communications vault, monitoring intelligence traffic for any sign of activity by Islamic terrorist groups loyal to Osama bin Laden. It was not until midnight in California--3 a.m. Washington time--that the Clinton administration's counterterrorism chief finally permitted himself a celebratory sip of champagne.
Four weeks before, Clarke had sketched out a plan on the whiteboard in his office at the National Security Council for neutralizing the latest threat from the Afghanistan-based Saudi exile. Approved by President Clinton and his top foreign policy advisers, Clarke's plan became the basis of administration efforts to prevent bin Laden supporters from ringing in the New Year with what officials believed could be dozens, perhaps hundreds, of American deaths in a series of simultaneous attacks from the Middle East to the West Coast."

This is an amazing article.

Online Gambling Expert Explains

At the end of time there will be a cockroach and its website: "Whether the government can shut down all Americans' access to such gambling is questionable, said I. Nelson Rose, a gaming law expert at Whittier Law School in California. 'It's pretty clear you can't prevent it completely -- the Internet was designed to survive a nuclear war.'"

I'll keep that in mind.

Republican Senate Report Proves Bush Lied

Senate Panel Says No Saddam-al-Qaida Tie: "There's no evidence Saddam Hussein had a relationship with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his Al-Qaida associates, according to a Senate report on prewar intelligence on Iraq. Democrats said the report undercuts President Bush's justification for going to war. "

Facebook Faces Death From Idiotic Management

This dude gets the Pentium-One Loser Chump Chip Award: "'Calm down. Breathe. We hear you,' wrote Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chairman and chief executive.

"Fuck you. Die. You don't hear anything!", wrote me.

'We're not oblivious of the Facebook groups popping up about this,' Zuckerberg wrote of the protests. '. . . And we agree, stalking isn't cool; but being able to know what's going on in your friends' lives is. This is information people used to dig for on a daily basis, nicely reorganized and summarized so people can learn about the people they care about.'

Facebook's site already provides privacy settings that allow users to control who sees what information, he said. At the strictest setting, information would not be circulated on the news feed; the news feed collects only information that people have already allowed to be visible on their pages.

Still, for George Washington senior Justin Persuitti, the mere prospect of unexpected disclosure made him conjure up unsettling scenarios: 'You could have a girlfriend and be at a bar kissing another girl, and somebody could post [a cellphone photo] on your wall.'"

The Pursuit Of Happiness

The Way Life Works: "'I never thought about this at all. What I thought you did was wake up in the morning, work your tail off, then you took care of your family and what did you do tomorrow? Wake up in the morning and worked your tail off. You know, the classic Type A personality, working hard,' he said.
'I have learned through talking with so many families or loved ones ... that the most important thing is to seek happiness.'"

According to Kurt Vonnegut the real purpose of life is to fart around "...and don't you forget it!"

"'They stole too much from too many people,' he said.
'But this is my life. I deal with it. But every once in a while I think how did I get here ...We've accomplished so much in the last five years, but being here is completely off kilter. Completely wrong and baffling.'"

ABC's "The Path To 911" Is A Bullfest

Trashing Clinton Is Whacking Material For The Righties: "'We need to keep this country together right now. We need to focus on this terrorism issue,' Clinton said during a White House news conference.

But while the president pushed for quick legislation, Republican lawmakers hardened their stance against some of the proposed anti-terrorism measures."

Things you won't know from watching the Republican/ABC/Limbaugh bullfest.

666 Pennsylvania Avenue

Rove Had Priests Cast Hillary's "Evil Spirit" From West Wing: "Her head didn't spin around, but Sen. Hillary Clinton was momentarily tongue-tied when a reporter asked what she made of Bush adviser Karl Rove bringing in three Catholic priests to cast her evil spirit from her old West Wing office - as reported in the new Rove bio, 'The Architect.' After a long pause, Clinton could say only: 'I'm speechless.'"

Mad, mad, mad and quite mad.

Rape Her, She's Yours

911 Widow: A Letter to Ann Coulter:

..."In my opinion, your method of using intimidation and insults to 'win' a debate is truly unpatriotic.

Actually, I expect that you will continue to scream and shout and smear as nastily as you want, so long as you think that that kind of behavior sells books. But we have tackled bigger bullies than you and lived through far worse circumstances than your book tour. We're not intimidated by you. We're not running away.

And under no circumstances will we be silenced by your 'godless' rantings and ravings.

Kristen Breitweiser
New York City
June 2006"

Coulter has lost everything valuable about a soul. She no longer matters; she's now one of those things provided by nature, like the earth, cows, lizards, bugs: "Rape her, she's yours", as Coulter would say.

Eat ABC

ABC To Spread Misinformation About 9/11 To Students Nationwide: "The cat calls surrounding ABC's 'The Path to 9/11' continue to grow louder. Not only is the network under fire for legitimate questions about the veracity of the primetime mini-series, which apparently goes to significant lengths to pin the blame of 9/11 on the Clinton administration, but ABC itself has failed to answer questions about the dubious way it has arranged for conservative partisans to view the program prior to air date "

Fuck ABC.

"Whoopee We're All Gonna Die !"

Scientists Realize That A Machine Is Starting That Can't Be Stopped: "Scientists are fretting about a global warming vicious cycle that had not been part of their already gloomy climate forecasts: Warming already under way thaws permafrost, soil that had been continuously frozen for thousands of years.
Thawed permafrost releases methane and carbon dioxide. Those gases reach the atmosphere and help trap heat on Earth in the greenhouse effect. The trapped heat thaws more permafrost, and so on."

The profit crackers that pass for businessmen in this country are about to pull the finger, inviting nature to gas us all.

"'The higher the temperature gets, the more permafrost we melt, the more tendency it is to become a more vicious cycle,' said Chris Field, director of global ecology at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. 'That's the thing that is scary about this whole thing. There are lots of mechanisms that tend to be self-perpetuating and relatively few that tends to shut it off.'"

"The American Eleven" Gingrich Coughs Up His Values

Total Victory Over Competence As Republicans Create Dynastic Dummies For Your Children's Future: "The American people have consistently supported the total repeal of the death tax and the House should simply pass it once a week and attach it to various Senate bills to force the Senate to deal with it again and again. Let liberals explain why they oppose something that more than 70% of the country favors."

Gingrich is a mirror staring at a mirror. His concepts are word-games, his pace is a steady delivery of cliches, and his persona is a caustic stew.

That Old "Reality-Based" Gang 'O Mine

There Are Very Strange People Running Your Country: "You people in the reality-based community believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality'".

"I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''

...with his ass filled with his dick, Mark McKinnon, senior media advisor to Bush, snarled on...

"And you know what they like? They like the way he walks and the way he points, the way he exudes confidence. They have faith in him. And when you attack him for his malaprops, his jumbled syntax, it's good for us. Because you know what those folks don't like? They don't like you!'' In this instance, the final ''you,'' of course, meant the entire reality-based community."

This is truly everything you look for in a world view. Bravo Republicans - for bringing it all into focus.

Pope Abolishes Vatican Pop Concert

Afraid He'll Be Asked About Recent History Of Pedophilia: "Pope Benedict XVI has abolished the Vatican's Christmas concert because of his distaste for popular music, it was claimed yesterday. The current pope prefers Bach to pop.

...Bach is comfortably dead and pop is dangerously alive.

The concert has been held in one of the Vatican's music halls for the past 12 years to raise money to build new churches in Rome.
In the past, Tom Jones, Bryan Adams and Sarah Brightman have sung to crowds of up to 8,000."

...Saint Sinhead is not to be known for many, many years...

"In 2003, Lauryn Hill, the American hip hop star, dismayed the Vatican when she stood up on stage and asked the Catholic Church to apologise publicly for the behaviour of its paedophile priests in the United States."

...Perpetua...

"Feel free to eat out of my butt", yells Bush to soldier's evicted wife

GOP's Bankruptcy Bill, As Predicted By Everyone With A Pulse In Their Heart, Is Busily Reaming U.S. Troops: "Back in 2005, when the credit card industry lobbyists were corralling Republican and Democratic lawmakers to vote for the corporate-written Bankruptcy Bill, a bunch of Democratic lawmakers viciously attacked me when I exposed them for selling out. Now a little-noticed story exposes just how disgusting that bill really was - and how Congress's specific votes on the bill have hurt our troops serving in Iraq."

Removing lifeboats so rich people can have more deck-space to promenade their pendulous tax cuts is what my state's Senator, Diane Feinstein - among others, thought was a good idea.

Buchanan Hocks Up Another Batch Of Fascist Crap

The Republicans In America Are 89 or 90 Percent Repulsive: "No. What I would like is - I'd like the country I grew up in. It was a good country. I lived in Washington, D.C., 400,000 black folks, 400,000 white folks, in a country 89 or 90 percent white. I like that country."

This little rightie, pimping his fear to anyone that will listen, leans on a Kennedy - any one of them, anytime he needs to prove that he isn't completely insane. Buchanan's is a distorted soul, but is now being listened to with a certain consideration - as if he made sense. He doesn't make sense; he merely and constantly tickles fear because that's all he knows.

(referring to John F. Kennedy) "You know what he said?... The quotas given to Germans, and Irish, and English, and others that are not used should be given to folks from Eastern Europe and Southern Europe. That’s what Kennedy said. I would go along with that."

If he hadn't made a career in politics, Buchanan would probably be in the news for driving one of his old Mercedez-Benz hun-fucker dredging sedans into a crowd of young latino kids waiting to go to a public pre-school, as he yells "Eat this! anchor babies !!!"

Seattle - San Francisco: smartest cities

America's smartest cities - Aug. 31, 2006: "Richard Florida, who developed the creative-class concept (the efficacy of which remains controversial), advises that attracting these groups pays off better for cities than building large-scale industrial developments or municipal building projects.

Simply put, smart people like to live in cool places, and cities are trying to oblige."...

..."Raleigh, N.C., with its amalgam of great research universities and high-tech companies, tied San Francisco for second place for holders of bachelor's degrees and was seventh for advanced degrees, with 16.7 percent of residents holding one."...

..."San Francisco has many of these same strengths, and, like New York, it is a culturally and ethnically diverse city that welcomes people with alternative lifestyles, the so-called creative class. This group is made up of artists, musicians and writers and includes gay men and "bohemian" types."...
