... that sentence went on too long, but I am poor and can ill afford punctuation...

I like it!

I got all riled about that PC Act thing, but I read somewhere (Balkinization?) enough "don't be concerned and here's why" that I didn't go ballistic. Glad it's repealed. But I still have a $5 bet w/ my brother that there will be NO '08 election, and GWB ain't leavin'.

Phew!!

I think that's a spoof, innit?

I see Wes Clark was mentioned in that article, and I'd like to know to what extent he participated. I always had an impression of him as pretty straightforward man. I'd be very disappointed to learn the opposite is true.

Under the clip itself:

'...Slate V dreams up the perfect attack ad for Hillary Clinton."

My italics.

YOU are apparently incapable of drawing a distinction between a subject matter expert (w/ an opinion) and a paid shill.

Why don't you just admit you're a fascist who actively supports the Gov't using PsyOps propaganda techniques to gin up ongoing support for the slaughter of innocents?

Back atcha, witless.

Worth reading the whole thing.

While you Democrats are pounding each other to a pulp in Pennsylvania, the President has snuck back down to New Orleans for a meeting of the NAFTA Three: the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico.

You’re not supposed to know that – for two reasons:

First, the summit planned for the N.O. two years back was meant to showcase the rebuilt Big Easy, a monument to can-do Bush-o-nomics. Well, it is a monument to Bush’s leadership: The city still looks like Dresden 1946, with over half the original residents living in toxic trailers or wandering lost and broke in America.

The second reason Bush has kept this major summit a virtual secret is its real agenda. More important, the agenda-makers, the guys who called the meeting, must remain as far out of camera range as possible: The North American Competitiveness Council.

Never heard of The Council? Well, maybe you’ve heard of the counselors: the chief executives of Wal-Mart, Chevron Oil, Lockheed-Martin and 27 other multinational masters of the corporate universe.

And why did the landlords of our continent order our presidents to a three-nation pajama party? Their term is “harmonization.”

Harmonization has nothing to do with singing in fifths like Simon and Garfunkel. Harmonization means making rules and regulations the same in all three countries. Or, more specifically, watering down rules – on health, safety, labor rights, oil drilling, polluting and so on - in other words, any regulations that get between The Council members and their profits.

Take for example, pesticides. Wal-Mart and agri-business don’t want to reduce the legal amount of poison allowed in what you eat. Solution: “harmonize” US and Canadian pesticide standards to Mexico’s.

Can they do that? Can Bush just say, “Eat your peas – even if they’re radioactive?” Under NAFTA, at least the way George Bush reads it (or has it read to him), he can. At any rate, he does.

The three chiefs of state will meet privately with the thirty corporate chiefs where they are also expected to legally erase more of our borders, to expand the “NAFTA highway.” Technically, the NAFTA highway is a set of legal rules governing transcontinental shipment. Some fear NAFTA highway expansion will allow a new flood of cheap Mexican products into the US and Canada. Not so. Their hunger to expand the NAFTA highway is to bring in even cheaper Chinese goods.

The media's monolithic cone of silence speaks volumes in and of itself.

"...sources deeemed too critical of the Government."

I believe that's, "deeeemed".

And over here

http://humanityagainstcrimes.blogspot.com/

is a post by ondelette, on a tangentially related topic (how torture is treated by the movie/TV media)

Where's the photo of you "accidentally' spilling your drink on the person next to you?

Do you know the PENALTY for bigamy?

I'm still listening, but judging from remarks AB made, I'm guessing you outlined for him the "General" thrust of the topics you wanted to cover, if not some specific questions.

Given that, I'll give him a h/t for agreeing to the interview.

Comment: I've never really noticed it before, but in this interview you really seemed rather... prosecutorial. Was there something else going on that I'm missing?

I had to look for a recipe.

Did AB just haul out the "You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think" argument at the end there?

My "anti-war" programs were ratings losers so blame the audience?
