during last week's show, Guy asked if I was going to do something about the AG torture scandal in my show.

i said i didn't know how i could make that 'sing'

he then sang: "Thanks for the Sodomy" to the tune of the Bob Hope standard, 'Thanks For the Memory"

the result of that suggestion is linked in my sig line. it's harsh but... i'm usually pretty harsh when i'm attacking RW apologists like rush in inhofe.

and, it's a fun way to spend a commercial break! ;-)

just wondering if I'm having a technical problem.

i'm hearing him fine...

(he just quoted me!)

Restart you player...It should be working.

I've been trying for a while.

:wow:

:thumbsup:

Who on earth ever wanted to shred Lincoln's name?

"I'm a historian...."
(Yeah, a failed one!)

He had some good things to say, but that Lincoln
thing didn't fit.

...nor "economics". This guy's point seems a bit skewed.

Lincoln?

...a Libertarian or Confederate cheerleader of some sort.

people". I bet if any freeper is listening to him, they must be going bonkers.

He knows what he's talking about. The next UN vote on the U.S. embargo on Cuba will happen November this year.

Every year only the U.S. and one or two countries, TOPS, support the embargo, the countries being Israel (which has business with Cuba) and the Marshall Islands (bowing to pressure from the U.S.).

Rumsfeld, during appearances last week before Congress to testify about Abu Ghraib, was precluded by law from explicitly mentioning highly secret matters in an unclassified session. But he conveyed the message that he was telling the public all that he knew about the story. He said, "Any suggestion that there is not a full, deep awareness of what has happened, and the damage it has done, I think, would be a misunderstanding." The senior C.I.A. official, asked about Rumsfeld's testimony and that of Stephen Cambone, his Under-Secretary for Intelligence, said, "Some people think you can bullshit anyone."

Just finished reading it, after the Guy James show, and it's not to be missed.

“We’re giving the world a ready-made excuse to ignore the Geneva Conventions. Rumsfeld has lowered the bar.”

Thanks for throwing in this link today.

just sent you an email!!

listening now!

:kick:

I can just use this thread to correspond with you. I'll get your mail when I get to the "home office" this evening.

my post if you want to share with others:

...the fundies. They've developed their own catalogue of distortions, lies, and half-truths to support their view, and that's good enough for them.

Interesting new website:
http://mediamatters.org/

BTW -- I finally rebooted my computer. Dang. It's always little stuff, eh?

she WAS kicking the 'pre-show' thread earlier...

:shrug:

I'm so late I feel I've missed everything.... Has he done repug love yet?

and the new www.mediamatters.com site

no repub love yet though...

Coulter and Limbaugh getting realistic reviews.....

of Limbaugh's show now, (two weeks and running) a costly proposition. They can catch him instantly when he lies.

Wonderful.

On edit:

Brock says Richard Mellon Scaife funds NewsMax. Didn't know this. Figures, doesn't it?

Looks like Guy has met his match today, by golly.

Ol' Scott's just too fast for all of us, hyuk, hyuk.

"We're going to get a second vote and make everybody
lay their cards on the table"? That vote didn't happen.

:wtf:

Government bad. Very very bad. Wanna bet who's first at the government trough?

glad you made it.

I will try and call in...

That makes me wanna puke.

The 30% are the fundies, the armageddon crowd. They want the "End Time" now. They want Israel to prevail. That's their vision, and tunnel vision at that.

_Bush if they could keep the House and Senate.

They need to loose the Senate right now! Tyrants.

Maybe Democrats can "gerrymander" their own voting districts BACK, in the House.

On edit:

Is that VETWIFE on the line? Yaaay.

From Avedon Carol's blog The Sideshow, prompted by Ducker Carlson's turn on the war, claiming he'd been supported it by believing someone "smarter than him".

http://www.sideshow.idps.co.uk/smay04.htm#131730

You know, a lot of people seemed "smarter" precisely because they were promoting a theory that was blatantly counterintuitive, that went against everything we'd all learned throughout our lives: That war doesn't usually make things better and can generally be expected to make things worse. Plus, you know, it kills people. (And didn't these people ever read Catch-22? Didn't they see that it was a whole lot more than jokes?) It's that whole "thinking outside the box" thing that's really no more than reinventing the wheel by people who simply can't figure out that wheels actually work. And there are always going to be tyros coming along who think we're all too old and diminished to take their daring path, because they don't get it that we don't go "outside the box" because we already know what's out there. (Hey, we were young and foolish once, too, you know.)

This is really how the whole "conservative" Thing works - simply dismiss what is known, write off all of the lessons of the past, dump all empirical evidence, run right back to the stone age and pretend that thousands of years worth of civilization that brought us out of the caves and into the light was just a silly liberal mistake.

That's right:

It's a mistake to try to bring prosperity to as much of the populace as possible.
It's a mistake to coordinate the infrastructure of a city, a society, out of the community treasury, so that the rich and poor alike are protected from plague and misery that affects everyone.
It's a mistake to invest in the future of your community, your country, as a whole.
It's a mistake to bind the powerful to the rule of law and thus prevent successful villains from immiserating the populace.
It's a mistake to try to educate, feed, and house the children.
It's a mistake not to leave your old people on ice floes.
It's a mistake to create space in society for artists and thinkers whose strength is not in their economic or physical muscle but in their ability to provide intellectual pleasure and ferment.
It's a mistake to respect the honest labor of ordinary working people.
It's a mistake to try to help everyone become productive members of society.
It's a mistake to recognize that greed, ambition, and ruthlessness are not necessarily virtues.
It's a mistake to cut people a little slack and give them a chance to redeem themselves from their own errors of the past.
It's a mistake to refrain from invading other countries or from provoking other nations into unnecessary wars that make them and the rest of their neighbors eager to rise up against you.
But those things were by no means mistakes. They were the intelligent, reasoned response to barbarity, to wide-scale misery.
And liberalism is the understanding that those things are not mistakes. We argue that poverty hurts us all, that peace is better than war, because we do understand them. The surprise we are seeing now from those who supported the invasion is a result of the fact that they did not.

Hope the call was OK

Glad you made it today.

uh, I mean, I AGREE

check the archive for the David Brock interview though... he was great

Truth is more interesting than fiction! Indeed it is.

Don't eat the microphone! Nix that.

"Bastard libs."

They're sulking because their pResident's not doing so well right now.

'sulking' would infer sentience, self-awareness...

that's a stretch for these loons...

they've got a faux-viagra 8-hour hardon and nothing to do with it

I'll pick up the rest from the archives. (Thanks, Ben!)

I've just learned that all us liberals are liberals because we smoke pot.

:smoke:
