Weekend Watchdog
Submitted by Bill.Scher on Fri, 03/14/2008 - 11:04pm.
If it's Friday, it's time for Weekend Watchdog! Here are my suggested questions for the Sunday shows. Add your own in the comments, and send them on to the shows. Contact info for the shows is below. Remember: always be brief, polite and respectful when contacting the media, so our voices will be taken seriously. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson will be coming to ABC's This Week and Fox News Sunday to spread the word about all the fantastic things the Bush Administration has in store for the economy. Perhaps there are a few questions that should be asked. 1. President Bush says that since "our economy obviously is going through a tough time," Congress must "make the tax relief permanent" or else "they will create additional uncertainty during uncertain times." But if Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy were so helpful to the economy, why is it that we're now going through such a tough time? 2. President Bush is boasting that his Hope Now Alliance to helping solve the mortgage crisis. But MSNBC.com found that the hotline "has left hundreds if not thousands of callers frustrated by long wait times, lack of follow-up and relatively minor loan modifications that have failed to help." Further, it reports: "The lack of follow-through has also prompted criticism from state officials that it’s difficult — if not impossible — to measure Hope Now’s real progress in keeping people in their homes over the long term. Hope Now says it has helped some 640,000 homeowners modify their loans since October, but it’s not clear how many of those modifications were sufficient to keep the borrowers from losing their homes." Why is the Administration bragging about this program, instead of fixing it? 3.Last month, former Fed vice-chair Alan Blinder urged the federal government to bring back a New Deal agency, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation: The HOLC was established in June 1933 to help distressed families avert foreclosures by replacing mortgages that were in or near default with new ones that homeowners could afford. It did so by buying old mortgages from banks — most of which were delighted to trade them in for safe government bonds — and then issuing new loans to homeowners. The HOLC financed itself by borrowing from capital markets and the Treasury. As the anti-government conservatism of the Bush administration has failed our economy, why shouldn't we adopt a new approach to get us back on track? *** Email Fox News Sunday at FNS@foxnews.com Contact ABC's This Week by clicking here Remember: always be brief, polite and respectful when contacting the media, so our voices will be taken seriously. |

Black Magic Mind War
By William Burroughs , Crawdaddy, July, 1976
Now anyone who has lived for any time in countries like Morocco where magic is widely practiced has probably seen a curse work. I have. However, the curses tend to be hit or miss, depending on the skill and power of the operator and the susceptibility of the victim. And that isn't good enough for the CIA or similar organization: "Bring us the ones that work not sometimes but every time." So what is the logical step forward? TO DEVISE MACHINES THAT CAN CONCENTRATE AND DIRECT PSYCHIC FORCE WITH PREDICTABLE EFFECTS. (See the chapter in the Iron Curtain book on PSYCHIC GENERATORS.) I suggest that what the CIA is or was working on at the top secret Nevada installation may be described as COMPUTERIZED black magic. If curse A doesn't make it, Curse Program B automatically goes into operation and so on.
I recommend to your attention a book called The Mind Masters by John Rossman, a Signet New American Library paperback. This is ostensibly a fantastic science fiction novel, interesting more for its content than for its style, that may well contain some real inside information. The story concerns a researcher who has, to put it mildly, been disillusioned by his work on Project Pandora, an American psychic training center run by a Colonel Pickett, who is strongly reminiscent of the mad General Ripper in Doctor Strangelove, right down to the cigar. Only he is unloosing psychic warfare rather than nuclear bombs, having convinced himself that this form of warfare is more effective and more easily controlled for elitist objectives. The disillusioned researcher, one Britt St. Vincent, is contact d by Mero, a private institute dedicated to opposing these black magic centers. (It should be obvious that only BLACK magic has "military applications.")
The Mind Masters
After he is taken to Mero's secret headquarters ... he recalls for Britt how the CIA, while making an electronic sweep of the U.S. embassy in Moscow for listening devices, discovered some very unusual electromagnetic emanations pulsing through the building. (Only months ago it came out that the Soviets had stepped up the power to a point where Embassy officials and their families were in danger from the high-voltage microwave radiation, which can cause confusion, migraines, and even death). Not long after, the CIA confirmed that this was in fact part of a much larger psychic attack on the Embassy.... Britt learns that similar psychic research is still advancing rapidly in China, France, Israel, Egypt, South Africa and Chile, in addition to the United States and Russia. "Although these scattered groups are currently working to beat each other to the secret of powers that will give them world control, there is a good possibility that they could even now join forces and make a COMBINED bid for world control and at this moment they appear to stand an almost even chance of succeeding if they join forces."
"And what will the future look like if such groups actually exist and if they do combine and take over? An elitist world state very much along the lines laid down by the NAZIS. At the top would be a theocracy trained in PSYCHIC CONTROL TECHNIQUES IMPLEMENTED BY COMPUTERIZED ELECTRONIC DEVICES THAT WOULD RENDER OPPOSITION PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Entry to this privileged class would be permitted only to those whose dedication to the world state was absolute and unquestioning. In short, you don't get in by merit or ability but by being an ALL-AROUND 100 PERCENT SHIT. Under this ruling elite of power addicts would be an anonymous service collective of functionaries, managers and bureaucrats. And below them the slave workers. There would be no place for dissent or independent research. The troublesome artist would be eliminated or absorbed. The elite lives happily ever after, at the top of a control state that makes 1984 seem cozy and nostalgic.
I love ya, Bill, but...
"Remember: always be brief, polite and respectful when contacting the media, so our voices will be taken seriously."
Why should we take the high road when they don't? Our (dissenting) voices are always shut out or ridiculed, and not given enough time to make our point or our words are twisted. Doncha think they are counting on us to be polite and subservient while they drag us over the coals, then eat "long pig"?
Regardless, I keep trying, however fruitless that may be. I worry that in order to "right" things we must become as evil and relentless as "they" are. Do you have advice for how kind people can become ruthless?
Sigh.
Looks like Bush might have bankrupted his Daddy's piggy bank.

McCain’s London Fund-Raiser
WASHINGTON—Senator John McCain has been averaging a fund-raiser a day in America’s pockets of affluence – hotel ballrooms in New York, Atlanta, Chicago – but now he will expand his pursuit of campaign donations at a $1,000-a-plate lunch at the 18th century Spencer House in London.
The transatlantic fund-raiser, to be held March 20 at the home built by the first Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Diana, the late Princess of Wales, comes at the end of a foreign trip that Mr. McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, has repeatedly said is not political. Mr. McCain is to travel to London, Paris and the Middle East next week with Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican, and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, the Connecticut independent.
“I do want to emphasize again that the three of us are going as members of the Armed Services Committee,’’ Mr. McCain told reporters on his campaign bus in Philadelphia on Friday. “And we will emphasize that at every stop.’’
But the trip, which is to include meetings with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel, Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Great Britain and President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, will serve as a promotion of the senator’s foreign policy credentials at a time when his two Democratic competitors, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, are still battling for their party’s nomination.
Jill Hazelbaker, Mr. McCain’s campaign spokeswoman, said in an e-mail message on Friday that Congress would be reimbursed for the political portions of Mr. McCain’s trip, including Mr. McCain’s flight home, when he will travel separately from the rest of the Congressional delegation.
“We are also paying for the fund-raiser and his hotel that evening in London,’’ Ms. Hazelbaker said in the e-mail.

Well, putting aside the ridiculous lie that he was out in front of this problem, he seems to appreciate that we're in a mess.
Trying to calm jitters about the economy, President Bush conceded on Friday that the country "obviously is going through a tough time" but expressed confidence about a rebound.
I'm confident we will recover as well. It's going to be long after Bush is gone but sure, we will get through it as long as we wake up to the need to provide responsible regulation instead of ignoring crazy Wall Street ideas that lead to $200 billion bailouts. Just say "no" to Republican economics. We can't afford another GOP administration.

Olbermann/Obama
Just finished watching the clip of Obama on Countdown.
Toward the end of the interview Obama addressed the bigger picture of race in America saying that he will use this controversy as an opportunity to talk about race. He also put into context the fact that Rev. Wright is a product of the 60's and still holds a lot of anger. That he (Obama) did not live through the same civil rights struggles. That we are now in a transition in this country in the way we talk about race. I was encouraged by this. He was acknowledging our country's history and saying he wants to help bring our country forward.

Olbermann is now the Bill O'Reilly of MSNBC
Keith Olbermann is No Edward R. Murrow
"Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar." - Edward R. Murrow
Keith Olbermann's special comment was something else. As if this race needed more stoking of the fires, Olbermann did not miss his chance to chime in with an anti-Clinton crowd pleaser. He started by thanking the Clintons, then ripped the scab off of every primary wound that's come before today. At one point the pompous anchorman actually squealed "David Duke," while doing the Obama camp's greatest hits, resurrecting them all, including Bill Clinton in South Carolina. The delivery was so overwrought and dramatic at one point I was almost convinced he was going to start talking about Jesus, then ask for cash. But what exactly does his opinion mean anymore?
"To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; credible we must be truthful." - Edward R. Murrow
Countdown long ago became The Obama Hour, and Mr. Olbermann's protestations to the contrary are ridiculous. Keith Olbermann is simply carrying the candidate's anti-Clinton message openly on cable. But the anchorman's rhetoric has now reached screech:
OLBERMANN: I'm sorry to sound speechless. It seems remarkable to me that a campaign being run in the 21st century or even the second half of the 20th century would allow itself to be associated in any kind of way and not step back. If it was two African Americans running against each other, and one of them had somebody say this on behalf of their candidate, that the other guy is only in there because he's equal opportunity, or there's been some sort of quota system, or that he's a black man--does it not have disaster written all over it, or are we living in South Africa? (via "Countdown" transcript)
South Africa? Using the apartheid card against Hillary Clinton. Mr. Olbermann evidently is taking his cue from Orlando Patterson. It would be nice if either of these men were correct on their facts.

Mukasey: Don't Execute The 9/11 Plotters And Make Them Martyrs
LONDON — U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Friday he hopes the men charged with participating in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are not executed if found guilty to avoid making martyrs of them.
Mukasey said many terrorists want to be martyrs and that by sentencing them to death, U.S. authorities risk granting those wishes. He made the comments while answering a question after a talk at the London School of Economics.
However, Mukasey said that the punishment would be fitting if the accused are convicted.
"One of them at least is proud enough of it to have written to his wife that he thinks he is innocent because it was only 3,000 (people who died in the attacks)," he said. "If those are not poster children for the death penalty I don't know who is."
Still, Mukasey said he leans against the death penalty in this case because "many of them want to be martyrs."
The attorney general said his view was a personal opinion. The Justice Department will participate in the trial, he said, but the Defense Department will be in charge.
The U.S. military is moving ahead with plans to try six men at Guantanamo Bay. The six high-profile detainees include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed _ the alleged architect of the attacks against the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington _ and Mohammed al-Qahtani, who allegedly would have been one of the hijackers if immigration officers had not prevented him from entering the United States.
Military prosecutors have requested the death penalty, but a Pentagon panel must agree to the prosecutors' recommendations before they are presented to the defense and the military court, U.S. Justice spokesman Dean Boyd said in Washington. That panel has yet to issue its ruling, he said.

C.I.A. Secretly Held Qaeda Suspect, Officials Say
WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency secretly detained a suspected member of Al Qaeda for at least six months beginning last summer as part of a program in which C.I.A. officers have been authorized by President Bush to use harsh interrogation techniques, American officials said Friday.
The suspect, Muhammad Rahim, is the first Qaeda prisoner in nearly a year who intelligence officials have acknowledged has been in C.I.A. detention. The C.I.A. emptied its secret prisons in the fall of 2006, when it moved 14 prisoners to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, but made clear that the facilities could be used in the future to house high-level terrorism suspects.
Mr. Bush has defended the use of the secret prisons as a vital tool in American counterterrorism efforts, and last July he signed an executive order that formally reiterated the C.I.A.’s authority to use interrogation techniques more coercive than those permitted by the Pentagon.
Mr. Bush used his veto power last weekend to block legislation that would have prohibited the agency from using the techniques, and this week the House of Representatives failed to override the veto.
Military and intelligence officials said that Mr. Rahim was transferred earlier this week to the military prison at Guantánamo Bay. In a message to agency employees on Friday, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, the C.I.A. director, said Mr. Rahim had been put into the C.I.A. program because of “his past and the continuing threat he presented to American interests.”
Intelligence officials would not say whether the C.I.A. had used any of what it calls an approved list of “enhanced” interrogation techniques against Mr. Rahim during his months in secret detention.
“This detention, like others, was conducted in accordance with U.S. law,” said Paul Gimigliano, a C.I.A. spokesman. He declined to say whether the C.I.A. currently had custody of any other prisoners.
Government officials described Mr. Rahim, an Afghan who has fought battles for two decades, as a Qaeda planner and facilitator who at times in recent years had been a translator for Osama bin Laden.
They said he was captured and detained by local forces last summer in a country they would not name before being transferred to C.I.A. custody. Pakistani newspapers reported last summer that Pakistani operatives arrested Mr. Rahim in Lahore in August.

Jeremiah Wright Steps Down From Obama Campaign
By Eric Kleefeld - March 14, 2008, 9:58PM
In the response to the controversies surrounding recently-aired videos of his sermons, Barack Obama's former pastor Jeremiah Wright has resigned his from honorary membership on the campaign's African American Religious Leadership Committee. NBC News says it's unclear whether Wright left of his own initiative, or if he was asked to leave.
Earlier today, Obama put up a long blog post explicitly condemning "any statement that disparages our great country" that Wright has made, while simultaneously standing by the man himself and his church — a delicate balancing act, to say the least, and probably not one that Obama was happy to find himself having to perform.

its interesting that they extended the yellow for some intersections. some municipalities went the other way to increase their revenue. whats really missing from this is common sense. if they changed the cyle to be red from all directions for 1 second, and provide a reasonable yellow based on the speed limit, the safety issue would be addressed, including the aspect that red light cameras cause people to slam on their brakes and have rear enders.

The origin of the 1920's stock market bubble, notes Economist Murray Rothbard was that, in order to "assist" Britain in artificially maintaining the strength of its currency while it was in economic decline, America increased its money stock by an average of 7.7% annually over an 8 year period from 1921 to 1929. In his words, it was "a very sizable degree of (monetary) inflation"7 and "the entire monetary expansion took place in money substitutes which are products of credit creation... The prime factor in generating the (monetary) inflation of the 1920's was the increase in the total bank reserves."8
Yet, like today, while the 1920's economy roared ahead, consumer price inflation was apparently tame while the stock market appeared "reasonably" priced. Rothbard notes "The fact that general prices were more or less stable during the 1920's told most economists that there was no inflationary threat, and therefore the events of the great depression caught them completely unaware."9 Economists who support manipulation of the economy by varying the money stock and interest rates are dubbed "monetarists". The father of modern monetarism and the Quantity Theory of Money, which is the basis of central bankers' expansion of the money supply, is Irving Fisher, who was himself so enthused about future prospects that in October 1929, one week before the markets crashed, he made his famous (mis)statement:
"Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau. I do not feel that there will soon, if ever, be a fifty or sixty point break below present levels as Mr. Babson has predicted. I expect to see the stock market a good deal higher than it is today within a few months."10
Irving Fisher
The DOW would decline 89% from its 1929 peak value of 381 bottoming 3 years later in 1932 at 40. Fisher who had a net personal wealth of $10 million from designing and patenting the Rolodex, lost his entire fortune in the crash and ultimately died penniless. But his Quantity Theory of Money still built favor with economists, politicians and central bankers of the future.

Obama Issues Statement Regarding Rev. Wright at Huffington Post
By Noel Sheppard | March 14, 2008 - 19:46 ET
Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama issued a statement on Friday regarding Rev. Jeremiah Wright's racist and anti-American comments, and amazingly published his response to the rising controversy at the far-left, Bush-hating -- and oftentimes vulgarity laden -- Huffington Post.
I kid you not.
As my colleague Mark Finkelstein reported Thursday, Obama's spiritual leader for the past 20 years has encouraged his congregation to sing "God Damn America," stated from the pulpit that our nation is the "U.S of KKK A," and declared that America deserved to be attacked on 9/11.
On Friday, Obama tried to distance himself from these abominations:

Exile Group Says 30 Killed in Tibet
BEIJING — China kept government workers confined to their offices Saturday and ordered tourists out of Tibet's capital while lines of soldiers sealed off streets where riots had erupted, witnesses said. A Tibetan exile group said at least 30 people were killed in protests Friday.
Chinese state media reported that at least 10 people were killed when demonstrators rampaged in Lhasa Friday, protesting Chinese rule. The Dalai Lama's exiled Tibetan government in India said it had confirmed at least 30 dead but said the toll could be as high as 100.
There was no confirmation from Chinese officials of the death toll and the numbers could not be independently verified.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
BEIJING (AP) _ China locked down the Tibetan capital Saturday after the largest and most violent protests against its rule in the region in nearly two decades. At least 10 people were killed when demonstrators rampaged through Lhasa, dashing Beijing's plans for a smooth run-up to August's Olympics.
Officials demanded protesters turn themselves in, while baton-wielding police patrolled Lhasa's mostly empty streets on Saturday. Fires still smoldered from the Friday clashes, and residents were under curfew.

Is Your Candidate Smarter than a 6 Year Old?
by Devilstower
Fri Mar 14, 2008 at 06:28:20 PM PDT
In a brief interview conducted in the Senate chambers, Barack Obama responded to Hillary Clinton's contention that the Michigan primary was "fair."
"Look, we're going to abide by whatever the Democratic National Committee determines is fair," he says. "But the important point is ... that we agreed not to participate in this process. Not just me, but Sen. Clinton did as well. If you ask my 6-year-old, should that election count, she would probably be able to figure out that that's not fair."
Of course, while Sasha Obama may think all candidates need to be on the ballot in a fair election, it's not just Hillary Clinton who feels otherwise. Iran has removed most of the reform candidates in their vote. The recent Russian election was held even though most opposition candidates weren't on the ballot. One candidate elections are considered fair all over the world... in China, Burma, Syria, Turkmenistan, Cuba. Excellent models all.
Why do candidates in all these places argue for the fairness of elections in which the opposition is excluded? Because it serves their own self interest to do so.
Update [2008-3-14 23:27:17 by Devilstower]: For those suggesting (either gently or at knife point) that my analogy is over the top, I have to say... I agree with you. It's not fair to compare Sen. Clinton's actions to those nations where other candidates are forcibly kept from the ballot. It's a step too far, and I apologize.
That doesn't mean I don't think that Michigan was in any sense fair.

but that story starts at WSJ. Murdoch is a hack.
Check this out
"If I had been president in October of 2002, I would not have started this war."
The video above she clearly presses for war in front of Code Pink. But at the start of her stump to run for President she has that quote saying she would not have gone to war. Hillary lies.
yay smooches for all of you..thank you thank you!!
The Washington Post writes about House vote, "Ignoring Bush Demands." But that's not the good part. This is:
The House's action ensures that Bush will not receive surveillance legislation for several weeks. But some lawmakers from both parties said the impasse is now so deep that the issue may not be resolved until a new president takes office next year.
Bush and Republican lawmakers have shown no desire to move further toward the House Democratic leaders' position, and the Democrats are showing no sign of buckling under the mounting political pressure.

Clinton-Obama War Creates Serious Tensions at DailyKos
March 15, 2008 10:14 AM
This is how ugly things have gotten between supporters of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama -- Clinton supporters are staging what they call a "strike" at the influential liberal website DailyKos.
It's not really a "strike" -- blogging for these diarists is not a job, and stopping their blogging won't cause them financial hardship.
But, that said, these diarists' boycott of DailyKos is indicative of the turmoil in which the Democratic party finds itself.
The 3% can't take much chopping up!
When you start sub-dividing a tiny group like the 3% you end up with nothing!
Where is Gore when you need him?
Chubby Little Al Gore may get the nob at some point.
Of course his Global Warming nonsense in wearing a little thin.
I heard yesterday Gore is going to be sued for fraud!
Turns out Gore is hurting the economy with all the Carbon Credit foolishness.
Maybe Kerry would be a better choice!
the next 9-11
its interesting reading the financial papers this morning. in the discussion of the bear stearns liquidity event that rocked the markets yesterday they are using phrases like global economic collapse to justify the fed stepping in and saving the bankers ass by shifting the cost over to us taxpayers in the form of inflation and lower dollar value (go read greg palast article if you haven't done so).
in a way, the words are reminiscent of the hyperventilating bedwetters taking us into iraq and soon into iran, but still, imagine what you would do if one morning you woke up and found that your 401K, your ira, your savings were all just gone. the money you intended to live on after you retire, gone. the money you intended to send your kids to college with, gone. the money you had set aside for a rainy day, worthless. the house that you have been paying on for years, worth less than you paid.
would bush or any of the republicans care? as long as the individuals that run these companies suffer no consequences other than generous severance packages, nothing is going to change.
as late as today, there are postings that point out that the cons are still blaming the subprime crisis on those sneaky little people that tricked the banks into loaning them money when they knew they couldn't afford the outrageous payments that were coming when the arm rolled over. the republicans would have you believe we need more debtor prisons and less regulation.
freedom is stumbling, but its still marching more or less.

The Son Sets On Carlyle Capital
Looks like Bush might have bankrupted his Daddy's piggy bank.

Carlyle Capital..
Couldn't have happened to a more worthy family !
---------
I have been expecting to stumble upon an article written about the irony of the son's economy crushing the father's investment cabal.
There has been a lot of speculation that Daddy Bush's persistent silence about his son's presidency is not due to Daddy's even-handed effort to stay out of the limelight. Instead, some people believe that Daddy Bush does not agree with most of his son's policies and was shocked that a nation would elect his least-qualified progeny to the White House.
If true, the silence and lack of criticism (borne by the respect and loyalty to his son) has come back to bite George H.W. Bush in his investment ass.
Oh, well. Daddy won't starve. His oil investments alone have more than covered his other losses and he has his son's inept presidency to thank for his pile of petrodollars, even though each dollar is worth much less than it was during Daddy's presidency.

I think that is probably accurate. I give him some credit for staying out of it. He's defended W. some, but he can't be happy with him.
And to think, I actually miss GHW Bush. If you'd told me when he was in office that one day I'd miss him, I'd have laughed and/or checked you for head injuries.

Idle Comments From Fruitcake Central Ignored Again
Submitted by Part of the 97 ... on Sat, 03/15/2008 - 12:06pm.
I heard yesterday Gore is going to be sued for fraud!
--------------
http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/03/04/weather-channel-founder-wants-to-sue-...
...The founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, is angry. Like Bruce Banner-turning-into-Hulk angry. Apparently, he’s in a huff over the network’s reports on climate change and claims ‘they’re telling us what to think.” He does have a point. Just last week, I heard a report that it was going to rain here and I took an umbrella with me to work. A classic example of the Weather Channel coercive ways. But seriously, this guy’s got a beef and let it be known at a skeptics conference on Global Warming in New York City yesterday. Here’s a great quote:
“[I] have a feeling this is the opening,” Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the media stand to testify, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.”
Yawn. What a beautiful waste of time. Just like this conference, skeptics continue to throw everything in the book at denying climate change. The Heartland Institute — which organized this gathering — invited a circle-jerk of “conspiracy theorists, industry parrots, puzzle-makers, scientists for hire and those who just can’t let go of their flat-earth ways.” Coleman’s idea what we should sue the carbon credit industry — and those associated with it — is just another example of how far this crowd is willing to go to draw attention to their lunacy. Skepticism is a true force in keeping science on its toes, but these groups aren’t bringing much to the table to make the world think otherwise...
Just watched The Mike Malloy & Scott Ritter Video over at Nova-M
that they Taped in Phoenix last week..
It Was Excellent ! !
You All Should Go Over To The Nova-M Website & Watch It !
If your a Founding member you can watch the whole video..Over an hour long..
If your not a founding member you can still watch 2 Sample Clips..
Again it's definitely worth the effort to mosey over there and watch the tapes !

Amazing video, Fernando.
What did Hillary mean in that last statement while she was shaking her finger at that woman? She said something like...I am a senator from NY and I will never put my people at risk! Was she tying Saddam in with 9/11? If she was she is more stupid than I thought.
Imagine how different that meeting would be if it were Senator Obama meeting with code pink.
US enters 'checkbook war' with China
Asia Times Online
One might assume that the approaching end of the George W Bush presidency is the beginning of the end of the American empire, at least as empire-building is usually seen - as an attempt to impose power on others by force.
The reason is simple: US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are badly stretched, and the pleas of US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to European countries to send more combat troops have fallen on deaf ears. Still, John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, notes that the war could proceed "for a hundred years".
The war in the Middle East is qualitatively different from the Vietnam War, in which McCain participated. In withdrawing from Southeast Asia, the US actually put itself out of danger, its battered prestige notwithstanding. The point is that Vietnam would not make any attempt to create problems for the US at the end of formal hostilities.
The situation is entirely different in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the US debacle will lead to intensifying efforts to harm American interests - and not only those of the US, but countries all over the globe.
From this perspective, the current wars are open-ended conflicts from which the US cannot extricate itself. Therefore, one could argue that the American empire is coming to its end and its global span could well be replaced by other powers, with China as the major candidate. The present situation in Africa serves as a prime example.......
For his birthday, little Joe
For his birthday, little Joe asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said, "Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $280,000 & your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it." The next day the father saw little Joe heading out the front door with a suitcase.
So he asked, "Son, where are you going?"
Little Joe told him; "I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling Mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a $280,000 mortgage & no bike."

Obama's flawless judgment
As we all know Obama has flawless judgment. We know this of course because Obama-who has flawless judgment-tells us every 4 seconds or so.
Indeed so flawless is Obama's judgment that he now has a Christ like HALO! I have actually seen it on the cover of Rolling Stones magazine! The man actually has a HALO! He's so special.
This is why it saddens me to create this link to a story showing that Obama does not actually have flawless judgment, and in fact seems to be a bit stupid-at least when it comes to avoiding the appearance of taking a bribe.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-obama-rezkomar15,0,29689...
I suppose he now should just go to his spiritual advisor and ask him how to resist temptation in the future-who is his spiritual advisor-oh yes his name is Mr. Wright. Now that sounds like a very solid name-yet another sign of Obama's flawless judgment-he's right with Wright...YEAH YEAH YEAH-come on team Obama jump for joy he's right with Wright!!!!

Winter Soldier 2008: Who Supports the Troops?
On the way in were a few dozen right-wing protesters organized by the "Gathering of Eagles" -- a spin-off from the "Vietnam Vets for Truth" started during the 2004 campaign to go after Kerry. I've seen them at antiwar protests, and what struck me was that their messages were unchanged -- 'support the troops.' The concept that those giving testimony inside were the troops -- several with chests weighed down with decorations and metals -- was the definition of cognitive dissonance.
...
There was a panel on the Rules of Engagement. More than a dozen soldiers testified that they had been trained stateside to be professionals -- to use minimal force to achieve their objectives, to respect the spirit as well as the letter of the Geneva Conventions. When they got to Iraq, that flew out the window, and the unofficial but universally observed ROE was that if they felt at all threatened, they should shoot to kill. And all agreed that in a country where the enemies are indistinguishable from the friendlies, and with a mission that was poorly designed, the rules became looser and looser. All reported that they regularly carried 'drop' weapons to put next to the corpses of any civilians they had killed by mistake, and were told by their superiors that they'd be protected in such circumstances. And that happened with alarming frequency.
And they repeated, again and again, almost as if desperate to prove that they were not monsters, that these were not isolated events -- the standards were systemic, and they came from above. The only time they played it straight by the book was when they had embedded journalists with them. "Everything was different when the media was around," remarked one Marine.
...
As I listened, two things jumped out at me. First, I was struck by what idiots people are for believing that we can't end this occupation -- or I should say how credulous they are. Anyone who believes that such a thing as a benevolent foreign military occupation exists is seriously deluded. Soldier after soldier agreed: it's not about "mistakes" or poorly defined missions or a "failure of command," although all of those things are endemic in Iraq. The problem is the occupation, and there was a consensus among these soldiers and Marines that ending the occupation is a prerequisite for the Iraqis to try to put their wrecked country back together.
you Obama people are so ....
I watch it from a detached point of view, and what I see is a colored boy outsmarting "the first black president" Bill Clinton. So far, it's very interesting.

I have purchased (have had sent as gifts) two fruitcakes made by the monks at Assumption Abbey. Their fruitcake business supports the small monastery.
One of the recipients has since also purchased a fruitcake as a gift because they are exceptional and loaded with booze.

Liberal Double Standards on Race
When John Aschroft opposed the nomination of African-American Judge Ronnie White to a federal judgeship – one of only two black Clinton judicial nominees he opposed during his entire Senate tenure – critics portrayed his opposition as essentially racist in nature. There were those who accused Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) of playing to racist sentiments when he included criticism of Marion Barry in his 1994 stump speech. Republican investigations of illicit 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign contributions from Chinese nationals and the Cox committee investigation of possible security breaches between the United States and China were said to be motivated by prejudice against Asian-Americans; Republican-supported initiatives to halt welfare payments to noncitizens, particularly illegal immigrants, were said to be motivated by animus against Hispanics.
Yet the Democrats can prevent a floor vote on the nomination of a Hispanic judicial nominee without the same critics objecting that this could be perceived as bias against Hispanics. Ted Kennedy can give speeches inveighing against Gerald Reynolds, now an assistant secretary of education running the department’s Office of Civil Rights, or Clarence Thomas, without anyone questioning his commitment to racial equality

Hit 'Em Where It Hurts
by digby
Spocko, (the guy who chased Melanie Morgan off San Francisco radio) wrote this in the comments to our "pudding" series about questioning the premises of these right wing frames. He makes an excellent observation:
I decided that the only way to have an impact on the charade of the "market place of ideas" was to go to the only people they really listen to, the ones who paid them. The advertisers.
This is the "real world" and it is the ultimate of rejecting their premise.
I reject the entire premise of their show. The fake participation, the stacked deck with loving callers. I reject their rhetorical tricks that are used on people who do get through occasionally who they destroy with their high school debating tricks and shouting. (Hannity especially)
People like Rush, Hannity, Grover Norquist, Bill O' Reilly and Coulter are the ones who create these kind of rhetorical games. They think up the frame. They then give them to their listeners who repeat them for their co-workers and family. My mom regularly uses the rhetorical tricks that Rush uses on the one person in the family who disagrees with her. But because this person doesn't want to attack my mom she thinks she has "won the conversation". Personally I hate having to have these conversations with people because I really don't like confrontation. Especially if my goal it really to persuade and change someone's mind rather than WIN the conversation. I think some men thing that if they humiliate the other person that they will then admit defeat. And that is what they want. "All right! You are right! I was wrong. You are the smarter person. I will change my ways!" These people often want to appeal to some third party and argue as if a impartial judge of debate is listening in.

I took some pics of my trip to post...but apparently

McCain set for six-day world trip...
Like no other candidate, John McCain has linked his campaign for president to an unpopular war - and to a lifelong focus on foreign issues that many voters ignore.
McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, became famous as a Vietnam prisoner of war and has spent his long Senate career traveling to more foreign countries than most people could even name.
He makes his eighth trip to Iraq this weekend, a visit sure to get a lot of attention. But his weeklong overseas trip also includes Israel, Britain and France - all countries where he's made many visits.
A defiant supporter of the 2003 invasion and President Bush's troop increase last year, McCain is likely to focus in Iraq on the drop in sectarian violence and U.S. and civilian casualties since last summer.

DNC NIGHTMARE: THREATS FROM DONOR$
AS DELEGATE DISPUTE GROWS...
Democrats in Michigan and Florida struggled Friday to resolve the impasse over their disputed January primaries, coming up with a plan to hold a June primary in Michigan while remaining deadlocked in Florida.
Reflecting how tense the situation has become, influential fund-raisers for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton have stepped up their behind-the-scenes pressure on national party leaders to resolve the matter, with some even threatening to withhold their donations to the Democratic National Committee unless it seats the delegates from the two states or holds new primaries there.
The committee penalized Michigan and Florida for holding their primaries early in violation of national party rules, barring their delegates from being seated at the Democratic convention this summer. But with the Democratic contest now a scramble for every remaining delegate, the allocation of delegates from the two states could have a substantial impact on the nomination.
Mrs. Clinton won the primaries in both states, but the contests were not sanctioned by the party, neither candidate campaigned in the states and Mr. Obama did not even put his name on the ballot in Michigan.
Pushing to seat the Florida delegates, at least one top Clinton fund-raiser, Paul Cejas, a Miami businessman who has given the Democratic National Committee $63,500 since 2003, has demanded Democratic officials return his 2007 contribution of $28,500, which they have agreed to do.

First Rush Limbaugh, Now Pat Buchanan: Republican Fear of Barack Obama Turns to Love of Hillary Clinton
Last week we learned that Rush Limbaugh had grown so fearful of Barack Obama's chances of winning the Democratic nomination for president that he threw in with his old enemy, Hillary Clinton, asking his Republican listeners to switch parties for a day and vote for Clinton in upcoming Democratic primaries. This week Clinton won a new friend from among the ranks of her old enemies on the far right, Pat Buchanan. As Steve Kornacki writes today in the New York Observer, Buchanan and other conservative Republicans have indeed been warming up to Clinton as Obama's delegate count has grown; and in an exchange on MSNBC earlier this week on the Geraldine Ferraro controversy, Buchanan himself grew quite testy in his defense of Ferraro.

Oh , & FYI
all you Religious types strike me as odd so I may not be a good judge of these things. I liked most of what Pastor Wright had to say.
Hillary's Reverend says America is no different from Franco’s Spain. While Hillary was in college—was also president of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), an organization dedicated to the violent reform of the U.S. government. That sounds a bit odd to me. A bit out of moderation.
Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the Fellowship. Her collaborations with right-wingers such as Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) and former Senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) grow in part from that connection. - motherjones
I'm just saying that if you don't attend these voodoo rituals, you have no right to judge them any more than I should.
Don't even get me started on McCrazy's religious shenanigans. Those are a real fruit basket case.

fernando, i don't disagree. he is a preacher walking the walk in the chicago projects. there was a show on sirius left in the 6PM hour that was talking about the black church and the preaching style. he used the phrase their job is to make the comfortable uncomfortable and the uncomfortable comfortable. its all about social justice for the least among us.
what is happening is one word or phrase is being lifted out of a bigger context and then played in a way to make the comfortable very uncomfortable. the right wing are masters at this.

Minister Wearing Two Rubber Suits Asphyxiates With Hands, Feet Tied Behind Back
51-year-old Reverend Gary Michael Aldridge, an Alabama minister, was found dead in June from "accidental mechanical asphyxia" according to the autopsy released Friday. His feet and hands were also found tied behind him, and was in two rubber suits.
No drugs were found in his system, and foul play has been ruled out. Rumors began to surface when the community was asked by the church to "refrain from speculation" until the report of the investigation gets released.
The DA who okayed the release said "I don't know anything about any speculation. I'm a prosecutor. I have no case to prosecute. It is not a criminal matter at this point. If you're asking about idle curiosity, I'm not going to comment on that."

"Hello to our friends and fans in domestic surveillance."
i wonder if Barry
will tell us exactly which of Rev. Wrights sermons he agrees with
Reverend Gary Michael Aldridge..God rest his Kinky soul
Gary Aldridge graduated from Liberty University and later worked for the late Jerry Falwell. A former colleague at the school remembered him as well.
"He went on to become one of the deans and the students loved him. He had a tremendous impact on them," said Dr. Bob Miller of Liberty University.
As investigators try to figure out what happened, Steve Campbell says this is by far the hardest thing he's ever had to go through yet despite the loss of a close, personal friend, Steve Campbell says he won't even bother asking 'why.'
Here is why:
...the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says Alabama doesn't have to lift its silly, arcane 1998 law banning the sale of sex toys. The Constitution does not include a right to sexual privacy, the panel of three judges ruled.
[...]
"In this case, the American Civil Liberties Union ('ACLU') invites us to add a new right to the current catalogue of fundamental rights under the Constitution: a right to sexual privacy. It further asks us to declare Alabama's statute prohibiting the sale of 'sex toys' to be an impermissible burden on this right. Alabama responds that the statute exercises a time-honored use of state police power -- restricting the sale of sex. We are compelled to agree with Alabama and must decline the ACLU's invitation.
(...)
"Alabama's Anti-Obscenity Enforcement Act prohibits, among other things, the commercial distribution of 'any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for any thing of pecuniary value.'"
It was those damned Liberal Judges fault

The Absurdity Bar Is Higher Than Ever
celticman (and ghettodefender),
I challenged ghettodefender's opinion that the Wright flap will greatly harm Obama's campaign. I have a lot of reasons for believing that the Wright flap will pass into the memory hole as another non-event campaign event, but here is one of the more salient reasons.
If Wright's sermons were the first unsavory comments made by a man of the cloth, they would count for something, but they're not. Public figures within the Conservative Religious Right have been making these types of shocking and inflammatory comments for years beginning with the Moral Majority and Falwell and continuing through Dobson, Robertson, Ashcroft, Hagee and others.
Outside of the Religious Right there have been similarly outrageous comments from Farrakhan, Malcolm X, the KKK, various Israeli Zionists, several Popes, Ayatollah Khomeini and Osama bin Laden.
Both Catholic priests and Southern Baptist ministers have been dragged off in chains after diddling children.
Members of the U.S. electorate who are not busily collecting sound bites to support their arguments have become numb to the latest stupidness to come out of the mouth of a religious leader.
Like the continuing escapades of Britney Spears, the next shocker must be more shocking than the last shocker to shock anyone into giving a damn.
If you want to make an unforgettable impression on the electorate, you need to blast an attorney in the face with a $17,000 Perazzi shotgun or suggest that Foggy Bottom should be nuked or solicit for sex in an airport bathroom stall...
...but those shockers have already been done.
When a black minister preaches that the U.S., as a nation, has made mistakes, it doesn't make the cut.
If I am wrong, feel free to remind me in six months. In the meantime I'll be making jokes about the hazards of hunting with the Vice-President and I'll be cracking wise about the Victorian modesty of an Attorney General who covers the marble breasts of Lady Justice...because those are the jokes that reference events that everyone remembers.

As if Falwell didn't say the same thing when he said the 9/11 attacks were brought on by liberals in New York city and their abortions. These people or right wing mutts need a mirror.

from a blogger at the baltimore sun
To say Hillary put the tape out there is false. Conservative talk radio has been talking about the Rev. Wright for weeks. They've been doing there homework on Obama, unlike the news media. Obama may have more delegates than Hillary, but he won't win in November. The Rev. Wright has already damaged him.
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/03/clinton_campa...
i would take heed
that's right dan - Wright's not unique
nothing new from me. I don't have a whole lot of respect for the shaman. They all say odd things as far as I'm concerned. I did like what Pastor Wright said about social injustice. That part made a whole lot of sense and we need more of that. That part struck a chord with me.
Jesus and God talk is just goofy to me. I'm an atheist. Our DNA, hearts and minds were forged in a solar oven that nova'd billions of years ago. Most people understand this. Our current sun is too small to make any element heavier than carbon.
Galaxies are awash in an organic soup and you can see it in the chemical imprints of the light that comes out of them.
If we need a figure to inspire hope, we should look inside of ourselves rather than blaming an external agent, much less the shaman that speak for that agent.
A Rezko-Clinton Connection?

High-Level Officials Wrote of Punishing Philadelphia Housing Director ___ After Philadelphia's housing director refused a demand by President Bush's housing secretary to transfer a piece of city property to a business friend, two top political appointees at the department exchanged e-mails discussing the pain they could cause the Philadelphia director.
"Would you like me to make his life less happy? If so, how?" Orlando J. Cabrera, then-assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, wrote about Philadelphia housing director Carl R. Greene.
"Take away all of his Federal dollars?" responded Kim Kendrick, an assistant secretary who oversaw accessible housing. She typed symbols for a smiley-face, ":-D," at the end of her January 2007 note.

Actually it's "Sambo" now. The current preferred term is "Sambo".

Great! I'm throwing all of my butter business your way.
You are right
about the doubts Alice. My favorite uncle was put away as a political prisoner and tortured in Mexico for supporting a lefty that promised reforms. He demonstrated with students. He did not find out until later that the person whom he supported was just as corrupt and really no better.
There is only so much we should expect.
Butter business..?
I am so lost...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Black_Sambo
...The story was a children's favorite for half a century, but then became controversial in certain countries due to the use of the word sambo. The children's story takes place in a fairy tale India with Caribbean elements, with the tigers racing around the tree eventually being turned into ghee -- translated as "butter" -- and the humans eating inhuman quantities of pancakes...

Okay, so I blew the 28 gauge shotgun thingy. That doesn't mean that every reference I make is off-base...particularly when it comes to literature.
That's fucked up...

Obama did not go to church on Christmas?
Wasn't one of Pastor Wrights most inflammatory sermons on Christmas? When I still went thats when everyone went, even the people who only showed up twice a year.
I bet Obama was there when this Pastor was damning the country from his holy pulpit.

Alice -
did you shoot those photos.
I like them.... if you did I like them even more.
I've been busy cleaning our "mud" room. What a fucking
job. My back is killing me. The name fits it though - now that
everything has melted it really is the MUD ROOM.
MMRules - no I do not live in Phoenix. My sister is in Scottsdale.
I live outside of Chicago :)
"mud" room
hopefully its got a lot of ceramic tile and you can hit it with a hose...
Yes I did, smcgee43
thank you.
Republican Tactic
Just like anyone who questions or critiques what President Bush says or does is branded as "un-American" by the Republicans, more and more Clinton supporters are coming out and accusing people who are critical of the Clintons' words or actions are "Hillary-Bashing" or "un-Democratic". This tactic is used to put anyone with opinions that could sound the least bit negative on the defensive and usually destroys any chance for open discussion. I'm a Hillary supporter but I just don't see how Olberman or other progressive talkers can be seen as anti-Hillary if they take exception to the words of one or more of her chief supporters. I hope we can keep this discussion of the two candidates civil and keep in mind that we're all Democrats, and more importantly, all Americans who want what's best for the country.
