I don't want to hear anything else from these candidates, but the crucial issue of where they stand (or stood) on 9/11. Was it bad? And if so, how bad? Can we trust brown people? And if so, which ones?

9/11 comes only once a year, but that doesn't mean we can't relive it and obsess over it the other 364 days. And when I say "obsess" I don't mean worry about recommendations from the 9/11 commission like securing ports and Nuclear materials. I'm getting getting worked up! Yelling! And attacking 9/11 and/or al qaeda looking places like Iraq. You got to admit, that place has a sort of sketchy "brown muslim" look to it.

Listen, I don't care how many nations we alienate or how many new terrorists we help recruit for Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

I want a candidate that will keep me safe from another 9/11 even if that means putting me at risk of many more 9/11's!

Because when all is said and done, I know when the next 9/11 comes. Rudy will be there with a blowhorn to begin immediately protecting us from the next 9/11. And so on.

Ron Paul is the best republican candidate, but as he is a basically 'no-government' conservative, how does he propose we oversee out of control large corporations of the Enron persusausion? If we have no government oversight of business, what's the stop them from being even more criminal than they already are? Pitchforks and torches?

Will we just trust that agribusiness will provide us with e-coli free meat? Or will we let the market decide by saying, "Hey, 3,000 people just died from e-coli tainted meat..." I'll exercise free market choice and won't buy from Archer Daniel's Midland anymore!" What about clean water, what about the EPA?

Shall we put Dow Chemical on scouts honor to not dump toxic waste into our rivers? "I've had with you Dow, from now on, I'm making my own roach spray!"

I'm just asking questions. I appreciate Ron Paul's frankness, especially about the disasterous Iraq Occupation and our unnecessary foreign entanglements, but I want to know what he really means by "small government."

1) Praying for the safety of these staffers, just doing their jobs.

2) Why do attacks and assassinations in this country happen only to Democrats, civil rights activists and popular senator's from Minnesota with integrity? Don't answer, the question's rhetorical. We know the answer.

3) Clearly the Bush admn must respond to this act of terrorism. News media said the man had a history of serious mental illness. Serious mental illness? Serious? Syria? Syria!

4) We must launch immediate air strikes against Syria. They have weapons of mass destruction, they are ripe for regime change, if we don't attack and stay then the troops that die in the initial invasion will have died in vain. And plus, 3rd times the charm. If we keep at this, odds are SOMEBODY will welcome us as liberators. Come on, there are lot of un-invaded countries left in the world. At least 15.

Right wing marketing--including Republican brand marketing in general--is amazing. And that's why we live in a right wing country. Righties define, present and sell their message far better than the left. Or the center, whatever that may be. And the proof is this: year after year a majority of Americans to vote against their own interests.

This website is just another example. Very slick. Very lifestyle, myspace oriented. The brilliance is that it takes longer than 30 seconds to smell "Well Funded Anti-Abortion-Rights Inc" underneath the teen-y veneer.

What it comes down to is right wingers are as willing as my ad comrades to lie, distort, stretch and/or ignore the truth to sell their product. Oh Liberals and Democrats--with your earnest-ness and (slightly stronger) committment to truth-telling. What will we do with you? You're so cute you just sit right their under the podium while Daddy Republican makes the decisions.

Excuse for using this website to make larger point, but PR-wise the right are Foxey. And we better shape up with a stronger, more concisely delivered message or we will continue to lose our country.

Which is to say, we don't take it seriously at all.

It's a propaganda machine for the right wing.

Thank you Glenn for helping make that clear.

Now we just need to make sure this bias is as clear

as Fox's bias.

I'm also aware that bias is not Glenn's point, but

making sure EVERYONE knows Time and Fox toe the

same party line, less will take Time seriously.

Until now.

Hillary and Rudy. All the way.

I always imagined the top corporate oligarchs behind closed doors making the decision. Maybe they still do then pass them down to the editors of the media they own.

Our media are so monolithic and powerful and egg sucking it hurts.

Thank god for the internet and Salon and Crooks and Liars and Huff Post.

This particular comic strip is, most definitely, not a big deal. So enjoy it (or not) and your Sunday.

I was six years old when Jimmy Carter won the presidency. So what did I know? Nothing, but it felt like a good thing because I knew Watergate was bad. Ms Walsh called this one for Rove not because he took the low road, but because Rove knows how to tweak American sensibilities better than any political strategist since...ever? She called it in Rove's favor because taking the lowest road has led to decades of expanding republican power. That's minus the Clinton years, but Clinton wasn't exactly a victory for the high road. He was victory for charm and centrist, republican-lite politics. But compared to what we've suffered under George W. Bush, a fiscally responsible republican-lite president would be a god send. And maybe that's why Mrs. Clinton is running as exactly that.

if we suffer head on collision with a chipmunk?
