What is this "Green Screen" that Randi Rhodes...
...is referring to. I've heard her mention it for two days now. What does it signify?

15. Actually, I would advise all Liberals/Homosexuals/African-Americans
and other FreeThinking Enemies of the Bushevik Imperial Order to purchase Night Vision Goggles.

The better to see who's coming for us, be it the Council of Conservative Citizens, excited that cross-burning is once again "legal" like it was in 1940s Confederacy, or just the Nationalized Neighborhood Watch, full of deputized Freepers come to confiscate your Playboy collection as pretext for sending you to Gitmo (or perhaps a new facility, The Heinrich Ashcroft Re-Education and Re-Christianization Camp in the Arizona Desert).

Armamaents are like Freeper Insurance. You pray the little cowards won't have the balls, but you remember Mississippi 1940 and that Freeper cowards can become murderers (in fact DO become gleeful murderers) when assured that they can do so without fearing investigation, prosecution, let alone conviction.

Don't knock Night Vision Goggles. In 10 years, during the reign of Emperor Jeb, they might save your life.

11. I bet that a lot of this happens tomorrow.
We will order our troops to kill thousands tomorrow to take the media attention off * and Cheney telling lies to the 9/11 commission.

13. But Kimmitt said was just "a sound and light show."
http://www.wtvo.com/Global/story.asp?S=1821223

Kimmitt calls explosions in the city last night "a sound and light show." He tells "Today" there were many "secondary" blasts of weapons and ammunition in two trucks targeted by a U-S warplane. New explosions and gunfire were heard in the area today.
