Even on NPR this morning they incorrectly referred to "FISA".
The madness continues, with the most regretable part being that the sheep aren't even aware of what's happening. The point in the speech last night when Dumbya mentioned the PAA vote was stunning how the rethugs lept to their feet and the dem side was stoney silent....
I'm with you. Yesterday, Froomkin over at the Washington Post had a recap of just how many times Rice was told BEFORE 9/11. They knew full well that we would be hit and they did nothing. I still think they said: "Let them take their best shot, as it will free us to do what we've wanted to do for years, ever since we got our wrists slapped for Iran-Contra. We'll use this as an excuse to enact our Project for a New American Century Revolution and Coup d'Etat."
IS THAT NOT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE?
Now- I think this most recent trip to the middle-east by W and Cheney was to finalize the plans for whatever is to come next. I suspect it will be a hit on the Democrat (sic) Party convention, which will be blamed on the Democrat congress, and used as an excuse to declare a state-of-emergency, and postpone the elections "until further notice"...
Am I paranoid?
Better the gutter than a rut......
How much you wanna' bet they timed that Mafia bust in New York to coincide with this.
Guess they want to "soften us up" for full-blown domestic spying as a part of the "War Against Crime"....
Maybe they'll set up the machines to listen for words like: "Weed" or "twelve-years-old" or "One-Hundred Dollars", or "Democratic" instead of "Democrat"....
Then they'll be knocking on YOUR door....
I wrote a poem once. In response to a situation where the Georgia police busted down a door and caught two men in "the act" ("flagrante delicioso" or whatever they call it!) Of course they prosecuted them:
Come into my bedroom,
And check out MY sex life.
Make note of all the "nasty" things,
I'm doing with my wife.
But when you jump out from behind the curtains,
And holler "You've been caught!"
The last thing you will know, my friend,
Is Twelve-Gauge, Double Ought.
WHEN HILLARY WINS!
She can use: Signing Statements, Executive Orders, Recess Appointments, Wiretaps without warrants, forced detention WITHOUT charges.
AND - Bill can be Attorney General!
No alibi now. This seals the deal.
As a famous GLORIOUS LEADER once said: "Bring it on"!!!! You're in for a real surprise from this left-wing, pinko, peace freak!
To paraphrase Unknown Hinson: "You sure don't scare me none, and you damn sure don't scare my gun!"
The real threats to those of us who dissent are the Timothy McVeighs of our nation. Don't forget Blackwater, a corp of mercenary killers, operating without law, returned home and unleashed on those of us who have been identified as opposed to what is going down.
Next time the rethugs walk out of the House, it could be that there were forewarned of an impending attack.
More and more I am drawn to the mindset that Podhoretz revealed in the article that Glenn recommended. The one about "My Negro Problem and Ours". Cowering in the alley at the feet of the dark and sinister enemy. Maybe Glenn will post the link again.
I agree with with earlier poster who pointed out that W is in great physical shape and could easily drive a truck in one of the many convoys that are actually supporting our troops. Of course he DID have that chance before, but he chose to walk away.
"Air support, Air support! Can I get some air support? I've got men dying here. Surely there's someone who can fly the mission! My God! They're cutting us to ribbons. Please help us! Air support!"
Where the heck are you? Did they come and get you? I'm anxious to get your "read" on all of this mess.....
We need to overwhelm these SOBs. If we could get enough new and serious people in the congress we could impeach Scalia, Roberts, and all of the other NEOCON - Non-americans, and send their asses off to exile, too!
You'll be cowering on your knees back in the alley! McCain is a man's manly man kind of man!
Mmmmmmmmmmm........ is that English Leather?
Mmmmmmmmmmm.......... let's off some hadji's!
He's a f***ing republican. Who cares about these details? You could print that he murdered his mom and dad and the kooks won't bat an eye. They'll vote for him NO MATTER WHAT.
Do we have to be nice to Dick Cheney?
Can we still talk about locking him up in Gitmo?
What about expressing a desire to see all of the neocons participating in pseudo-homo-erotic tableaus, in poses reminiscent of the Greek debauchery?
Can we still talk about that?
A white evangelical EXTREMIST.
I'm still stunned by that garbage that AP put out the other day; Then today I see a headline that McCain would beat Obama and Clinton. The article went on to point out some very particular circumstance where McCain was polling better than the Dems, but it did give me pause. Then today Bush says that there is no recession. In other news it's all about how can anyone deny the progress being made in Iraq, and the Dems in the senate are portrayed as if they're walking into a trap, as Glorious Victory is just around the corner, the corner, the corner, ad infiinitum.... (nauesum?)
More and more I am drawn to the "parasite device" wherein the extremely odd behaviour of others is explained by some alien creature that's attached itself to the base of the Medula and there you go........ NOW it ALL MAKES SENSE.
