How about bombarding the FCC, to the point of crashing/tying up the site & phones ?It's been filled up with Bushevik hacks, like every other agency , so won't actually do something , so an electronic flood might be the only option .
Also , what about pushing CBS to yank their affiliation from the station? (If they can legally do that)
WT, yep. Also, Mr. B's rationale , as practiced by the Che-neystas, is what got us there in the first place . Alternative energy, conservation, and remembering that our greatest powers are economic and cultural ( & used to be- moral- somewhat) are the solutions, not empire.
So let's see if I have this straight.....
Seigalman was indicted and convicted of breaking the law by a jury, and you people are calling it a conspiracy? Tsk. As always, IOKIYAD.
Yep shooter, you have it straight , 'cept the thing AIN'T STRAIGHT! It's crooked as hell . Go back & watch it . The judge threw it out a couple hours in , on the first day . Then the DoJ went judge shopping , and found one with close tie$ to Bush. Geez! Pay attention .
Oh yeah , who does it upset ? The former REPUBLICAN AG of Arizona, & 51 other AGs. Not just a bunch of librul commie-nist sycophantic blog readers . (Thought I'd save you some typing & include the insults myself :])
The only "probably", was whether Iseman was there .

Now Billy The K (Street) , is on the flag pin & Michelle Obama thing . Nothing new, or better, just copying the other RWers homework .
Obama and the other D's should start wearing Constitution lapel pins .
I get ya' . Don't know why the argument . There might be some with a thicker resume , or more politically talented ( or not ) but Obama is the one who decided to run and is the one (apparently ) who can make it work . The right one for the moment .
Oomoex, apparently you missed something. http://www.blackbaseball.com/ (Induct Buck!, btw)
Here is Richard Reeve's recent column , on what Obama gets (~Reagan), and gets right , that Hillary , and other Obama critics don't get .http://www.richardreeves.com/latest_column.html
His suggestion is that general, big-picture speeches , that get people to follow where he leads , is the job of a president . More to it, but that's the basic premise .
JC Miller , what you say about Obama's response may be technically true , but in seeing/hearining it, rather than just reading it , it seems just right . He pulls it off . If the patriotism question was a rare thing , or more substantiative, his response might be seen as you suggest . But the ones making the charges do it to almost everybody that question them, on almost every issue , almost all the time . It wears , and is good to see anything that's not fearful, and accepting of their assumptions . Obama's response comes across (to me ) as "You talk a lot , but don't back it up, when it counts. " I was quite skeptical in the beginning, because of his non-confrontational reputation, but the more I see of him , the more I think he's up to the job .
Ondolette - I traveled the same candidate road , except for Dodd ('til FISA), for ~ same reasons. The one foreign policy point in Obama's favor is that he'll get more of the benefit of doubt , from the rest of the world . That could allow him to rebuild burnt bridges more easily , and do some things that others couldn't . Amazing how much hope people elsewhere have invested in him and us .

probably not, but fun to imagine
Forgot to mention on last post, that the Congressional Republicans blog is (was) working again , and open for comments . After total silence , there's two entries on FISA/PAA in last 3 days(except they're genarally saying "FISA" to mean both) . Just in case you want to leave 'em an "attaboy" , .....or something
It's ~ the same bs as the video (saw it on CNN tonight) I left the first comment . Just went back to get the exact blog address , and the whole site is down.

-- DCLaw1"I can't find my feelings right now - they are trapped and muzzled somewhere between half-gasping bewilderment and paralyzing horror at the sight I have just witnessed on MSNBC's Neverending Coverage of Chris Matthews attempting to fellate Tim Russert via satellite, in the greatest multi-media, truly virtual-reality simultaneous orgasm of vanity televised since David Blaine suspended himself inside the transparent walls of his own ego above a bottomless Nielsen Ratings pit with nothing to eat but his own recycled self-reference."
By God, if they gave Oscars for Best Post of the Year, I'd be honored to nominate this one.
It is truly a classic.
Bravo!, DCLaw1, BRAVO!

...or a Mencken Award . Would they give one to a poster? (vs "author"?) *standing O!*
Btw , Ann Coulter's most recent column has a valid tangential point on ^ topic . (In related news, Hell's Half-Acre Hockey team beat the Holly Rollers 3-1 :)Never thought I'd put "valid point" & "Ann Coulter" in the same sentence . =)))

King/CNN - why? They're running the Republicans FISA/PAA scare-mercial . Can't risk upsetting the sponsors .
One more area where the scare tactics crash into the stone wall of reality :) http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080226/us_nm/usa_immigration_crime_dc
